章節 256: Chapter 256: Trouble Arrives
After enjoying a pleasant dinner, Xia Yu and the others were about to leave the restaurant.
However, before they could leave, Li Xi suddenly said she needed to use the restroom. Considering they were in the restaurant, Xia Yu and the others thought there wouldn't be any issues, so they decided to wait in the private room until Li Xi returned.
As time passed, Li Xi still hadn't come back. Xia Yu glanced at his watch and noticed that the time had clearly exceeded the usual duration. Xia Yu's brow furrowed slightly, sensing that something was wrong.
"Let's go see what's going on," Xia Yu said, his unease growing. He stood up and led the group out of the private room, heading toward the restroom.
"Please move out of the way!"
Li Xi's panicked voice could be heard from afar. Xia Yu's expression changed instantly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He ran toward the source of the commotion, with Yan Shining and the others preparing for a possible confrontation.
"Move aside, move aside!"
Yan Shining coldly ordered as he pushed aside those blocking the way, allowing Xia Yu to move forward.
Soon, Xia Yu saw Li Xi in the corridor outside the restroom, surrounded by several young men from wealthy families who were preventing her from leaving. Li Xi was backed against the wall, looking frightened and trying to move away.
"Xia Yu, come quickly, they're blocking me and won't let me leave," Li Xi cried out urgently upon seeing Xia Yu, clutching at him like a drowning child.
The young men surrounding her noticed her change in demeanor and looked towards Xia Yu. When they saw the bodyguards accompanying Xia Yu, their expressions grew serious.
However, one particularly drunk young man looked at Xia Yu and then quickly looked away, forcing a smile as he said, "Beautiful lady, let's just be friends. We're all Chinese here, give us a chance to get to know each other."
Seeing this arrogant young man still behaving this way and teasing Li Xi in front of him, Xia Yu was fuming. However, with Li Xi still in danger, he had to keep his anger in check for now.
With a cold and sharp gaze, Xia Yu looked at the obviously drunk young man and said in a deep voice, "Li Xi, come over here!"
Li Xi tried to come forward as instructed, but the arrogant young man opened his arms to block her, teasingly saying, "So your name is Li Xi, what a lovely name."
"You must be Li Xi's boyfriend. Just a kid who hasn't grown up yet. I'm offering to be friends with Li Xi. This restaurant is mine, so I'll cover your bill. Just give me some face, hic... is that okay?"
The drunk young man spoke flippantly, seemingly without a filter due to his inebriation, and made an unreasonable demand.
Perhaps because he spoke for too long, he couldn't help but burp.
"Haha!"
A few young men around him couldn't help but laugh.
However, one of his obvious lackeys, seeing Xia Yu's clenched fists and the bodyguards getting ready to act, realized the situation was bad. Without hesitation, he ran in the other direction, seemingly to call for reinforcements. Xia Yu glanced at him coldly before turning his attention back.
"Get out of my way!"
Xia Yu's brows furrowed into a fierce scowl as he stared coldly at the arrogant young man.
Seeing Xia Yu's stern reaction, the arrogant young man became slightly more sober. He had never been treated this way before.
His brows knit together in displeasure as he said, "What? Do you want to make trouble in my territory?"
Xia Yu's eyes narrowed, his anger intensifying. If it weren't for Li Xi still being in danger and fearing she might be harassed, Xia Yu would have acted already.
At this moment, Yan Shining and the others were also looking at Xia Yu, ready to act at his command.
The drunk young man was unaware of the gravity of the situation, but the other onlookers sensed that Xia Yu's group might actually take action. Since they were on their turf and their bodyguards were still downstairs, they knew they would be at a disadvantage if a fight broke out.
Fortunately, the lackey Liu An had already gone downstairs to call for help, which somewhat reassured them.
The priority now was to stabilize the situation.
"Friend, calm down. Let's talk this through. We're all Chinese, no need for this."
"Yes, the Third Young Master is just a bit drunk. He only wants to get to know your girlfriend. He means no harm."
"Third Young Master, let's go inside. We don't want to make a scene in the corridor."
One of them tried to pull the drunk Third Young Master into the private room.
However, the arrogant young man was clearly irritated and had drunk too much to see the situation clearly. He shoved the person's hand away, grumbling, "Who dares to mock me? This is my territory, who dares?"
At this moment, Li Wuming heard a faint noise and leaned in to whisper to Xia Yu, "Boss, their people are coming upstairs."
Xia Yu frowned, glancing again at Li Xi, who was still being blocked and looking pitiful. He could no longer afford to waste time. He needed to pull Li Xi to safety so he could fully unleash his anger and resolve the situation.
"I dare!"
Without any further warning, Xia Yu shouted angrily and charged at the arrogant young man. Before anyone could react, he slapped him hard across the face, producing a crisp sound.
"Ah!"
The arrogant young man cried out in pain, clutching his face and stumbling aside. The other young men's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe Xia Yu dared to hit their leader. The situation was getting serious!
"How dare you hit me?"
The intense pain jolted the arrogant young man fully awake. He covered his face in agony, glaring fiercely at Xia Yu, who was heading toward Li Xi, and seethed, "You'll pay for this!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Third Young Master!"
"Get over here quickly!"
At that moment, a series of footsteps came from the stairs on the other side of the corridor. The previously departed man had returned, and a group of black-clad bodyguards followed him upstairs.
When the man saw the Third Young Master lying on the ground, his face changed dramatically. He shouted urgently and rushed toward the scene, with the bodyguards moving even faster.
"Boss, hurry over here!"
Yan Shining shouted.
Xia Yu, meanwhile, grabbed Li Xi's hand and quickly retreated behind Yan Shining and the others, without wasting any more time.
Once Xia Yu made his move, it was clear that the situation couldn't be resolved easily.
However, as long as Li Xi was safe and with Yan Shining, Li Wuming, and Hou Sheng around, Xia Yu wasn't intimidated, even on someone else's turf!
"Don't be afraid, it'll be alright!"
Noticing that Li Xi was trembling in fear while clutching his arm, Xia Yu gently hugged her and comforted her.
Xia Yu understood Li Xi's emotions. Given her personality, it was only natural for her to be scared in such a situation. It would be abnormal if she weren't.
"Go for them! How dare they hit me! This isn't over, take them down!"
Seeing his own bodyguards arriving, the arrogant young man gained confidence. Supported by others, he stood up and leaned against the door of the private room, pointing at Xia Yu and his group, commanding fiercely.
"Go! Follow the Third Young Master's orders!"
The others also instructed their bodyguards.
Following the orders, seven or eight bodyguards rushed toward Li Wuming and the others, who were braced for action.
Among them, Li Wuming stood at the forefront, ready to strike. Yan Shining stood beside Xia Yu, prepared to protect him, while Hou Sheng kept a watchful eye on the surroundings, ready to assist at any moment.
The strongest fighter, Li Wuming, did not disappoint Xia Yu.
