"Hey, Boss Chen! What brings you here today? Come, have a seat in the shop." The old man was very enthusiastic, ready to make room for Chen Yang and give him a good reception when he saw him.

Seeing how busy the old man's shop was, Chen Yang naturally didn't want to add to his chaos.

"Old man, don't stand on ceremony with me. Your shop is so busy, better focus on business first. Xiaocui and I came over just to lend a hand." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the smile on the old man's face deepened.

"Haha, then I won't be polite, Boss Chen. Once I'm done here and the business slows, let's have a good drink together." The old man chuckled and said.

"Sure, no problem, let's get busy now."

Chen Yang agreed with a smile, and the old man indeed went back to work.

After the old man left, Chen Yang and Xiaocui also joined in.

Xiaocui went to the front desk as usual to help with orders, accounting, and collecting money.

As for Chen Yang, since there was nothing specific for him to do, he ended up doing a bit of everything.

To put it nicely, he was doing a bit of everything; to put it bluntly, just making a mess.

However, helping the old man and Xiaocui, Chen Yang found joy in it.

Chen Yang busied himself, east and west, in a way quite like a son-in-law helping at his father-in-law's house.

The busy scene continued until past midnight.

By this time, business was still good, but much better compared to ten or eleven o'clock.

It wasn't packed anymore.

Seeing fewer people, the old man hurried to instruct the kitchen to prepare a good meal and had the front desk prepare two bottles of good wine, ready to have a good drink with Chen Yang.

"Boss Chen, I really apologize, the shop was too busy, there's nothing I could do, please understand." The old man approached Chen Yang courteously, smiling as he spoke.

Chen Yang quickly waved his hand: "Old man, you're being too polite. I understand business is important when the shop is busy."

"Haha, now that we're free, come on in; it's been a long time since I've seen you." The old man gestured towards the shop invitingly.

Although the old man was, in a certain sense, a senior to Chen Yang.

Their relationship was more like a friendship across generations, treating each other like friends.

"Haha, indeed it's been a while since I came by, been busy as hell lately." Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony and took off his coat, ready to go inside with the old man for a drink.

Bam!!

But just as the two were turning around, a sound of a bottle breaking suddenly came from behind.

"You got some nerve, don't you know who I am on this street?! How dare you refuse to give your contact number? Are you looking for trouble!"

After the sound of the bottle shattering, came a rough bellow.

The commotion quickly drew everyone's attention around them.

Of course, Chen Yang and the old man were no exception.

They turned around and looked back.

They saw a table with three women surrounded by a group of large, sturdy men.

These men were all burly, with slightly flushed faces.

Clearly, they had been drinking.

Night market stalls are the easiest places for drunken troubles to occur.

And looking at this group of men, they obviously were used to being arrogant and unrestrained, without a care.

Smashing bottles and yelling in front of so many people is not something that average people with normal mentalities would do.

These men were extremely arrogant, and the three women being harassed were also very bold.

In the face of such a situation, not only were they not afraid, but they also stood up with great momentum.

"I said, no! If you keep this up, I'll call the police." The harassed girl stood up and declared loudly that she would call the police.

But this had no threat to the group of men.

The leading man, "One-Eyed Dragon," sneered and said, "Call the police? Go ahead and try! In all my years in the streets, I've never been afraid of that."

Upon hearing this, the girl didn't respond and attempted to sit back down to continue eating her late-night meal.

But this One-Eyed Dragon was outrageously bold.

Regardless of who was around, he brazenly reached out to grope.

"Honey, did I tell you to sit down? Let me feel." With a wicked grin, One-Eyed Dragon reached out to touch the girl inappropriately.

The girl was bold, and in such a situation, she surely had the presence of mind for self-defense.

"Get lost!"

The girl instinctively shouted, having raised her hand to push One-Eyed Dragon's arm away.

This was a very normal defense action, but it instantly infuriated One-Eyed Dragon.

Seeing the girl resist and even try to retaliate, One-Eyed Dragon immediately swung back with a punch.

This punch instantly escalated the atmosphere.

The girl who got hit was hot-tempered as well. After taking the punch, she picked up a beer bottle from the table and smashed it on One-Eyed Dragon's head.

With a loud bang, the beer bottle shattered on One-Eyed Dragon's head.

This strike completely infuriated One-Eyed Dragon!

"You bitch, you're dead!"

One-Eyed Dragon went berserk, clenching his fist as large as a sandbag, swinging it towards the girl's head.

The girl was brave, but neither her size, strength, nor ferocity was a match for this One-Eyed Dragon.

She was immediately overwhelmed by One-Eyed Dragon's attack.

Seeing this, the old man and Chen Yang's first instinct was to intervene, as this was a conflict occurring in their shop.

But unexpectedly, just as Chen Yang and the old man set out to intervene.

The burly men around One-Eyed Dragon all went crazy, violently helping him attack the girl.

Two of them even picked up plastic stools and swung them fiercely at the girl.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Yang felt a surge of anger inside.

A grown man bullying a girl could barely be tolerated to avoid escalating the conflict.

But so many grown men savagely beating a girl, going that hard, was simply inhumane!

"Beasts!"

Chen Yang shouted angrily, rushing forward in a few quick strides.

He lifted his leg and kicked One-Eyed Dragon, sending him flying three or four meters away.

These burly men were obviously a well-organized gang.

Once a fight started, they showed no mercy.

And their eyes turned red with rage; upon seeing Chen Yang hit One-Eyed Dragon, they immediately turned their attention to Chen Yang.

"Damn, there's someone else looking for trouble, brothers, help him out!"

Several men roared and charged at Chen Yang wielding stools, beer bottles, or whatever they could grab.

Their stance was as if aiming to beat Chen Yang to a cripple, utterly ruthless!

Fortunately, it was Chen Yang facing them.

"Committing violence in public, you're all beasts!"

Chen Yang shouted angrily, clenching his fist and charging forward.

These men relied on their numbers, ferocity, and size to be so brazen.

But these issues were of no consequence in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took them down almost one by one, each punch landing heavily on their bodies or faces.
