The innkeeper shrank back in fear.
The other guests took to their heels as well.
Sensing that the situation was getting out of hand, Lin Qingyuan and Bai He abandoned their noodles and got ready to run, only to be startled when they heard the ruffian shout at them.
Was this really their unlucky day?
Glancing at the noodles on the table, Lin Qingyuan fought to stay calm as she said to the ruffians, "You just want to have noodles, don't you? Here, take them. We haven't touched them." She pushed the bowls toward them.
The ruffians laughed in incredulous anger.
"Is this youngster a fool? How dare he let us eat his leftovers?"
"He obviously has a death wish!"
"They showed up right when I was getting bored!"
"Brothers, bring those two youngsters here so we can have some fun with them." As soon as Ruffian A gave the order, several men and women stood up, ready to pounce.
