The moment the words fell, a dense sound of footsteps could be heard.
Zhao Guo'an and Zhen Jinghan immediately turned around, seeing no less than twenty people running towards them in the dim alley.
Despite being a man, Zhao Guo'an displayed rare calmness at this moment, shielding Zhen Jinghan behind him with one hand, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know these people?"
"No, I don't." Zhen Jinghan shook her head repeatedly.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Guo'an raised his right hand, making a pause gesture: "Buddies, have you mistaken us for someone else? We hold no grudges, neither old nor recent..."
He was interrupted before he could finish by a middle-aged man with a walkie-talkie across from them: "Stop the bullshit, we're here for the woman behind you. If you don't want to die, get lost!"
"But I've never even seen you guys!" Zhen Jinghan said angrily.
"Never seen me, but I've seen you." The middle-aged man took a photo out of his pocket: "Isn't the person in this photo you? Our master is lying in the hospital for finding you, don't even think about running away today."
"Your master?" Zhao Guo'an furrowed his brows: "Is it Zhao Fengyun? The one with a few million at home?"
"Ha, kid, by the way you speak, are you the one who injured our master during the day?"
As the conversation reached this point, the situation became clear, these people were obviously here seeking revenge for Zhao Fengyun.
Zhao Guo'an sneered: "Just a few million, and that's enough to act like a wealthy second-generation? A sneeze from me is worth more than that. To be honest, if I want to kill your master, it's merely a matter of saying the word."
This sounded like boasting, but if Zhao Guo'an truly wanted to, he could actually do it.
He knew more than a few powerful and wealthy people, those on the level of the Shen Group might be difficult to deal with, but targeting a tea house worth only a few million, he could easily do so.
Not to mention Zhao Guo'an himself was from a family renowned for medicine, with generations worth of connections, once activated, the power would be unimaginable for ordinary people.
However, for those at the bottom, they clearly wouldn't consider so much, especially for levels they can't touch, they always show a sort of fearless ignorance.
The middle-aged man with the walkie-talkie snorted disapprovingly: "Blow all you want, blowing doesn't require taxes, just hope you don't cry out in pain when you're beaten later."
Zhen Jinghan tugged Zhao Guo'an's sleeve and whispered: "Don't act rashly, a wise man doesn't fight when he knows he'll lose, in case it really turns into a fight..."
Zhao Guo'an retorted: "So what, at worst I'll take a beating, what am I afraid of? I can't just watch you get taken by them, can I?"
These words instantly warmed Zhen Jinghan's heart, but made her worry even more for Zhao Guo'an's situation.
Holding his neck stiff, Zhao Guo'an faced the twenty-odd people around him: "You bastards, I'm not bragging, with all of you, ending you isn't impossible, but your pathetic lives aren't worth the trouble.
If anyone dares lay hands today, I guarantee it won't be long before you'll be on your knees apologizing, and none of your bosses behind you will escape."
"Oh, your bragging is something else, brothers, attack!"
At the command of the middle-aged man, more than twenty people rushed towards Zhao Guo'an.
"Wait!" Zhao Guo'an quickly waved to stop them, grinned: "Ha, just kidding with the brothers, how about this, I have a few thousand here, take it and have a drink first?"
The twenty-odd people were dumbfounded, the attitude was so tough, the boasting sounded real, yet he chickened out so quickly, is he joking?
Zhen Jinghan was equally unable to react, she never expected Zhao Guo'an to have such a sudden change in attitude, completely catching her off guard.
But at this moment, Zhao Guo'an spoke in an extremely low voice: "Find a chance to call Old Xiao's guys, if one can come, we're saved. After connecting, give me a tug on my sleeve."
Zhen Jinghan froze for a moment, then quietly took out her phone, found the little girl's number, dialed quickly, and stuffed the phone into her pocket.
"Hello, hello!"
On the other side, the little girl connected the phone and called out several times, but there was no response.
Just when she was about to hang up and call again.
Zhao Guo'an's voice appeared in the receiver: "Honestly, I was once in the circle, back in the day I wasn't a big shot, but had my name..."
This strange line instantly made the little girl realize, Zhao Guo'an definitely encountered something, she hurriedly turned on the speaker and went to find Xiao Feng.
Surrounded, Zhen Jinghan sensed the subtle vibration in her pocket, then realized the little girl had connected the call and tugged on Zhao Guo'an's sleeve.
In the courtyard, Xiao Feng had just picked up the phone and heard Zhao Guo'an yell, seemingly agitated: "Insulting me is fine, say what you want, but insulting my brother is crossing the line?
What's wrong with Xiao Feng, is he worthless?
What's wrong with Xiao Feng, he's a bastard?
Today, I demand explanations!"
"Brother Xiao, someone dares insult you?" The little girl said angrily: "Let's go see who's bold enough."
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but for the moment couldn't figure out what was off, so he just nodded, saying: "Get Lu Yao over here."
"Okay!" The little girl didn't hesitate, immediately called Lu Yao over.
"Yaoyao, check Zhen Jinghan's phone number, see where she is right now." Xiao Feng ordered.
Lu Yao agreed, opened her computer, her ten long fingers quickly danced on the keyboard.
With a final press of the enter key, she pushed the screen to Xiao Feng, the whole process took less than a minute, not including boot time, her speed was astonishing!
"The location is easy to find, it's on Thompson's street, did something happen?"
Xiao Feng nodded: "Old Zhao there is probably in trouble, let's go see."
Saying that, he got up and went out.
...
On the other side, everyone was dumbfounded by Zhao Guo'an's bizarre words.
Including the middle-aged man with the walkie-talkie, the twenty-odd people looked at Zhao Guo'an like he was a lunatic.
"Did you forget to take your meds before coming out?" Someone pushed Zhao Guo'an angrily: "What nonsense are you spewing, who insulted your brother?"
Zhao Guo'an inwardly cursed his bad luck, but given the situation, he could only continue the act: "Look at the chaos, it's like this, we are all men..."
But the middle-aged man clearly lost patience, didn't wait for him to finish, directly ordered: "Stop wasting time with this idiot, beat him up and take the woman away."
Seeing nobody cooperating with his act anymore, Zhao Guo'an grabbed Zhen Jinghan's hand, heading for the route they came from, making his way to forcefully open a gap in the crowd.
While shouting, he loudly called for help: "Help, murder!"
