Chapter 27: Getting Beaten Up While Trying to Break Up a Fight?
Xu Tianyi let out a roar, and then immediately called Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi to surround Jiang Yang and punch and kick him.
The sudden turn of events left the surrounding diners stunned.
They never expected to witness such a farce while having a meal.
After realizing what was happening, they all stopped what they were doing, got up, and moved to a safe place.
Seeing this, Li Wen rushed forward without hesitation, trying to stop them.
"Stop! What are you doing?!" Li Wen shouted.
However, the three young masters were in a fit of anger and wouldn't listen to reason.
In the chaos, Li Wen was pushed to the ground and scraped her knee.
She struggled to get up, but felt a sharp pain in her knee, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
The three young masters continued to punch and kick Jiang Yang, showing no sign of stopping.
Jiang Yang gritted his teeth.
He knew these three men were simple-minded and didn't know their own strength, so he could only try his best to protect his vitals.
Although the surrounding diners sympathized with Jiang Yang, they dared not step forward to stop him, after all, the backgrounds of these three young masters were not something ordinary people could afford to offend.
Li Wen ran crying towards the restaurant entrance, where she saw Yang Fen standing there.
"Manager Yang! Hurry...hurry...there's a fight inside!" Li Wen said haltingly, tears streaming down her face.
Yang Fen was startled when she saw Li Wen's face covered in tears and bloodstains on her knees.
"Li Wen, what's wrong? Who hit you?" Yang Fen asked anxiously.
Li Wen pointed inside the restaurant, crying, "They...they're beating Jiang Yang!"
Yang Fen looked in the direction Li Wen pointed and saw three well-dressed young men punching and kicking someone.
Yang Fen's heart sank.
She recognized these three young men; they were all sons of county leaders and were known for their arrogance and domineering behavior.
Li Wen is the daughter of the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. If something really happens to her restaurant, her business will be completely ruined.
Yang Fen didn't have time to think and rushed into the restaurant.
After assessing the situation inside, she immediately yelled at the terrified waiter next to her, "Go to the police station! Call the police!"
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed in, grabbed Xu Tianyi who was kicking Jiang Yang who was lying on the ground, and pulled him back forcefully.
"Stop it, all of you! What are you doing?!"
Jiang Yang lay on the ground, seemingly powerless to fight back, but in reality, he was secretly observing the situation.
Although he was a top student in his previous life, he had also practiced some self-defense techniques. The fists and feet of these spoiled brats looked scary, but they actually had no real method.
He tried his best to protect his vital points, and occasionally, when he saw an opportunity, he would kick them a couple of times, targeting acupoints, making them wince in pain.
He caught sight of Yang Fen and Li Wen running over, and with a plan in mind, he deliberately lay down on the ground, pretending to be beaten and unable to fight back.
Seeing Jiang Yang fall to the ground, Xu Tianyi and his two companions became even more smug and raised their feet to kick him again.
Yang Fen reacted quickly, grabbing Xu Tianyi and angrily shouting, "Are you all crazy?! You're hitting people in my restaurant?!"
She then grabbed Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi, pulling all three of them away from Jiang Yang.
Xu Tianyi, jolted back to his senses by Yang Fen's shout, clutched his aching calf and pointed at Jiang Yang on the ground, yelling, "Manager Yang, this kid started it! He hit me!"
Yang Fen completely ignored his explanation and said sternly, "I don't care who started it! Now, immediately, get out of here!"
Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi chimed in, "Manager Yang, this kid is too arrogant. We have to teach him a lesson!"
Yang Fen glared at them, her tone icy: "I'll say it again, get out! Or I'll call the police!"
Seeing that Yang Fen was truly angry, the three dared not say anything more.
After all, Yang Fen was a figure of some importance in the county, and they had to give her some face.
Xu Tianyi cursed his bad luck inwardly and glared fiercely at Jiang Yang.
He then slunk away with the other two, muttering under his breath as he passed Li Wen, "You stinking woman, meddling in other people's business!"
Seeing this, Li Wen was so frightened that she hid behind Yang Fen, tears still streaming down her face.
As the three of them walked to the restaurant entrance, they noticed that the surrounding diners were all looking at them with obvious disdain and mockery in their eyes.
Feeling embarrassed, Xu Tianyi grabbed Zhang Hao and Cheng Yi, and quickly ran out with his head down.
Yang Fen and Li Wen, one on each side, supported Jiang Yang and helped him up from the ground.
"Jiang Yang, are you alright?" Li Wen asked with concern.
Jiang Yang grinned and dusted himself off: "It's nothing, I'm tough, this little injury is nothing."
Looking at Jiang Yang's nonchalant attitude, Yang Fen was both angry and distressed: "You child, why are you so impulsive! Don't you know who they are? What if something really happens?"
Jiang Yang knew that Yang Fen genuinely cared about him, so he smiled and comforted her, "Manager Yang, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Yang Fen sighed, looked around, and noticed that many guests had stopped eating and were whispering among themselves.
To calm things down, Yang Fen raised her voice and said loudly, "Dear guests, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your meal. To express our apologies, we're giving each table a complimentary serving of our restaurant's signature dish—braised lion's head meatballs. We hope you can continue your meal and not let this little incident spoil your mood."
The waiters immediately sprang into action, bringing steaming hot lion's head meatballs to each table.
Seeing this, the guests resumed their previous lively activities and continued eating and drinking.
Looking at the bustling restaurant again, Yang Fen couldn't calm down.
Xu Tianyi and his two bastards, their fathers are all suppliers to state-owned restaurants, and it is an honor for them to cooperate with state-owned restaurants.
But they actually dared to cause trouble on her opening day!
She just couldn't swallow this insult!
Jiang Yang noticed Yang Fen's anger, tugged at her sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Manager Yang, don't be angry, listen to my instructions."
Yang Fen was taken aback. Looking at Jiang Yang's calm eyes, she nodded, signaling him to continue.
Jiang Yang leaned close to Yang Fen's ear and whispered a few words.
As Yang Fen listened, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally she couldn't help but clap her hands and exclaim, "Great idea! Let's do it this way!"
After the waiter cleaned up the leftovers on Jiang Yang's table, two uniformed police officers walked in.
"Who called the police?" one of the officers asked.
Yang Fen immediately went to greet them: "Officer, I'm the one who called the police. There was a fight and disturbance here just now, which affected our restaurant's normal business operations."
After briefly understanding the situation, the police turned their attention to Jiang Yang: "Are you the one who was beaten?"
Jiang Yang nodded.
“Come with us,” the policeman said.
Upon hearing this, Li Wen became anxious: "Officer, they clearly started it, so why are you taking Jiang Yang away?"
