"Alright, you can leave now," Chen Yang said calmly.
The thugs heard these words like a pardon, and without a second thought, hurriedly lifted the unconscious one-eyed man and another thug who was knocked out by Chen Yang, and fled.
A whole group made a high-profile entrance, got beaten up, and then slinked away.
"Oh! Well done! That was really satisfying!"
"Hahaha, they ran off, a bunch of cowards picking on the weak."
"Young man, you’ve got skills. Thankfully, you were here today, otherwise, who knows how arrogant that gang would have been."
...
After the thugs made their shaful escape, the onlookers started chattering excitedly.
Everyone was praising Chen Yang’s fighting skills, and they were all thrilled.
Chen Yang smiled, looked around, and loudly replied, "In the future, feel at ease coming to our shop for late-night snacks. No matter what happens, our shop will stand up for you, don’t worry."
"Great! From now on, we’ll stick with your place."
"Haha, doing business and ensuring our safety, that’s impressive."
"The food tastes good, and the owner is nice, we’ll co here in the future."
...
Chen Yang’s words stirred up excitent among the crowd again.
They resud their seats and started chatting.
Seeing that the situation was resolved and the barbecue shop was back to order, Chen Yang imdiately went over to Xiao Cui to check on the girl who was attacked.
Since the girl was beaten in their store, Chen Yang felt responsible to help.
"Xiao Cui, how is this girl? Has an ambulance been called?" Chen Yang asked.
Xiao Cui, supporting the assaulted girl, nodded: "This sister hasn’t suffered any serious injuries, she’s currently okay, and I’ve called for an ambulance, it should arrive soon."
"Good."
Hearing that Xiao Cui had called an ambulance, Chen Yang had nothing more to say.
He then turned to the girl who had been beaten and said, "Don’t worry, our shop will take full responsibility for this matter. Go with the ambulance, and our shop will cover your dical expenses, you can be at ease about that."
Chen Yang’s words made the girl feel very comforted.
"Thank you," she said tearfully.
"It’s what we should do. Please sit for a while, the ambulance will be here soon." Chen Yang took a chair from nearby and handed it to her to sit on.
After settling the girl, Chen Yang quickly went over to help the old man clean up the scene of the fight.
Those thugs made quite a ss.
Several tables around were disturbed.
But the old man was business-savvy, too.
While Chen Yang was checking on the girl’s condition, he had already got the staff to clean up.
He even compensated the two tables of custors that had been overturned.
For those who wanted to continue eating, the sa dishes were served again.
For those who didn’t want to continue, the old man simply waived their bill.
For those who had paid, the old man refunded their money.
The old man’s actions naturally won great praise.
Everyone on-site was comnding the old man.
"Boss, you’re really decent, from now on, we’ll co here for late-night snacks."
"The boss is kind-hearted, we’ll bring you more business in the future."
...
The atmosphere on site was very courteous, and the old man responded with a smile.
Although it was an incident that could have been very unpleasant, thanks to Chen Yang and the old man’s actions, it turned into a harmonious situation where everyone was full of praises.
"Boss Chen, it’s thanks to you. If it weren’t for you today, who knows what trouble those jerks could have caused here," the old man said to Chen Yang with lingering fear.
Chen Yang smiled and waved his hand.
"It’s just a small matter, as long as it’s resolved properly."
The old man smiled and nodded repeatedly: "You’re right, resolving it was the main thing."
The two exchanged smiles, and when the ambulance arrived, the injured girl was taken away.
To facilitate the dical paynts, Xiao Cui went along to the hospital too.
Since there wasn’t much for Chen Yang to do, he stayed at the shop for the ti being.
After sending the girl off, the old man got so dishes ready to entertain Chen Yang.
So, Chen Yang and the old man went inside to drink, eat, and chat.
Even though there was a significant age difference between the two, they got along very comfortably, like old friends with much to talk about.
Despite not having many previous interactions, their conversation was quite engaging, and ti flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already past 2 a.m.
By this ti, Chen Yang and the old man had almost finished eating.
The night market stall outside had nearly no custors left, only a few scattered tables still drinking and chatting.
Chen Yang and the old man prepared to help pack up the stall and get ready to close for the night.
But just as they were about to take a break, an urgent roar of car engines suddenly resonated from the road outside.
At this late hour, the street was usually deserted.
The sudden noise was highly unusual.
"What’s going on?"
The old man was also drawn to the sound, instinctively muttered to himself, and lifted his head to take a look outside, but saw nothing.
He didn’t think much of it and went back to cleaning.
However, Chen Yang continued watching outside.
He felt sothing was off.
And as expected.
The car engine noise outside got closer, and finally, a line of cars appeared at the entrance of the night market and ca to a stop.
At this late hour, the sudden arrival of so many cars was clearly a sign of trouble.
"This..." The old man looked up at the incoming cars, froze for a mont, and then understood imdiately, hastily urging Chen Yang to leave, suspecting that the earlier thugs had returned for revenge.
"Boss Chen, you should leave first. I’ll handle things here; being an old man, they won’t go too far against ," the old man said nervously.
Chen Yang felt touched by the old man’s care but showed no intention of leaving.
How could those people, who wouldn’t even reason with a woman and would beat her up, possibly spare the old man?
The old man was being far too optimistic about them.
"Old man, since I’ve helped resolve this, I’ll see it through to the end. Just stay aside and watch, I can handle it," Chen Yang turned, smiled to the old man, and then walked out of the store to face the trouble.
The cars stopped at the entrance of the night market.
In a clatter, almost all the car doors opened simultaneously.
The scene was quite intimidating; anyone could tell these weren’t ordinary folks.
As the doors opened, a group of large n dressed all in black erged aggressively.
Within re seconds, the entire night market stall was surrounded completely.
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, Chen Yang remained unfazed, though the remaining custors at two tables were terrified.
What was going on?
How did a late-night snack turn into this?
Both tables of custors were dumbstruck.
When the swarm of n approached, neither table could hold back any longer, and they quickly got up and ran inside.
The large n didn’t pay them any mind.
At this point, all eyes were on Chen Yang.
It was obvious that all of this was directed at him.
The large n gathered around, and then the one-eyed man and others erged from among them.
