Zhou Chi rushed forward, clutching the hem of Shen Wan's skirt.

Shen Wan swayed to his side and assumed a patient listening posture.

Zhou Chi withdrew his hand, his expression embarrassed. "A gang of thugs teamed up to drug a young lady. I caught them in the act. It didn't work out, but they've been causing trouble at the bar for two weeks now. Today was the first time they got physical."
