Chapter 53: Chapter 53: I am the Protector of Flowers_1

After Yang Gang left, Liu Lan, who had been pretending to be drunk and keeping her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the quilt covering her body, turned to her side, curled up, and tightly gripped the edge of the quilt: "What is it? How is the young master of the Yang family as unbearable as Gu Ran said?"

She pulled the quilt up a little higher, buried her head in it, lost in her thoughts.

Elsewhere.

Yang Gang left the bar and walked alone along a street, glancing at the neon lights by the roadside and faintly smiling bitterly.

"In the end, I wasn’t able to pry any valuable information from Liu Lan."

Just as Yang Gang was sighing, his gaze casually swept across a night market stall by the street, his expression slightly startled.

The night market stall was bustling with business.

But that wasn’t the main point.

What mattered was, Yang Gang had spotted a familiar figure.

Lin Qingyu!

The girl was at work again.

Yang Gang grinned, about to go over, when he suddenly noticed Lin Qingyu’s boyfriend Zhao Wei was also there.

At this moment, Zhao Wei was drinking beer and eating food from a street stall, enjoying himself greatly with a few men.

Yang Gang’s expression turned slightly cold. This man, named Zhao Wei, was indeed a piece of work. His girlfriend was busy serving tables, sweating buckets, while he was having a great time drinking with his cronies.

At that moment, a group of tattooed youths with dyed hair passed by the night market stall. Upon seeing Lin Qingyu who was working, their eyes immediately revealed a certain expression.

"Let’s choose this one." One of the tattooed youths in a checkered shirt said, smirking.

However, there were no free tables available at the night market stall where Lin Qingyu was working. All the seats were taken.

The tattooed youths, seemingly used to throwing their weight around, promptly chased all the people at one of the tables away.

The owner of the night market stall seemed to recognize these tattooed youths. His face was filled with embarrassment, but he dared not say anything.

"Hey, beautiful, come over here." The youth in the checkered shirt said, looking at Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu instinctively glanced at her boyfriend, Zhao Wei. But he was looking down and didn’t see her.

She hesitated slightly, but ultimately clenched her teeth and walked over.

"Hello, what would you like to order?" Lin Qingyu asked politely.

The tattooed youth sitting on the bench looked at Lin Qingyu and cracked a smile: "Do you serve xx here?"

"I don’t understand what you mean." Lin Qingyu was disgusted by his gaze, but she had no choice. She was just a helpless woman who couldn’t afford to offend these hooligans.

"You don’t?" The tattooed youth in the checkered shirt smiled and suddenly extended his hand.

At this moment, Lin Qingyu had taken off the clothes Yang Gang had bought for her, replaced them with her usual plain clothes.

Lin Qingyu was greatly startled. She stepped back several steps, held her skirt, and shouted: "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I didn’t realize you are quite conservative, wearing a long skirt and leggings underneath." The tattooed youth in the checkered shirt stood up, steadily advancing towards Lin Qingyu.

At the other table, Zhao Wei clenched his fists and struggled visibly, finally standing up and saying: "Don’t touch my girlfriend!"

"Hmm?" The tattooed youth glanced at Zhao Wei: "Girlfriend? A toad really can eat swan meat."

He turned his head to look at the other tattooed youths and cracked a smile: "Brothers, what do we do when we come across a toad?"

"Of course, we beat it up badly." The rest of the thugs immediately surrounded Zhao Wei.

As soon as they saw this, the ones who were drinking with Zhao Wei darted away immediately.

Such is the nature of fair-weather friends.

Zhao Wei gradually began to panic, his face paling. He had no idea what to do.

At that moment, Lin Qingyu stepped forward to confront Zhao Wei, looking coldly at these ruffians and declaring, "Don’t touch my boyfriend!"

The youth in the flower-patterned shirt was taken aback, "Little girl, why are you defending such a useless man?"

"He’s my boyfriend!" repeated Lin Qingyu coldly.

The flower-patterned shirt youth shook his head, "Alright, as long as you agree to drink with us, we’ll let your boyfriend go."

"Fine!" Without any hesitation, Lin Qingyu agreed directly.

Upon making a signal, the other tattooed youngsters released Zhao Wei immediately.

Zhao Wei, soaked in cold sweat, looked at Lin Qingyu, on the verge of speaking, but kept silent.

However, Lin Qingyu smiled and told him, "Zhao Wei, just go home, I’ll be fine. They won’t dare to do anything to me in broad daylight."

Zhao Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Take care of yourself."

Then he left directly.

"Beautiful lady, I kept my promise and let your boyfriend go. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise. Here, drink this beer first," said the youth in the flower-patterned shirt while smirking and watching Lin Qingyu. He poured some liquor into a beer mug and then handed it to Lin Qingyu.

Anyone who drinks knows that generally speaking, mixing liquor and beer can get a person drunk much easier.

Without a second word, Lin Qingyu drained the mixed drink in one gulp.

However, not long after, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were a bit blurry.

She was already half drunk after just one mug of beer. She was obviously not good at handling her alcohol.

Seeing this, the flower-patterned shirt youth scornfully smirked, and once again made the same cocktail, filled the glass to the brim, "Miss, you’re so bold; I can’t help but respect that. You’re still working, right? Drink this glass, and we won’t make you drink anymore."

"Really?" Honestly speaking, although Lin Qingyu was not drunk yet, she was already feeling dizzy.

"Of course, my word is my bond," Luo Tian, the man who called himself Luo Tian, responded with a grin.

"Fine!" Lin Qingyu reached out to the cup and was about to drain it, but it was suddenly snatched away by someone.

Lin Qingyu turned her head and saw it was Yang Gang, and she felt somewhat angry.

"That man keeps messing with me! He must be happy to see me being harassed by these ruffians!"

Just as Lin Qingyu was about to chastise Yang Gang, Luo Tian already intervened.

"Who are you?" asked Luo Tian, his tone dominant.

Yang Gang responded with a grin, "Well, I’m a bounty hunter."

"Bounty hunter? What’s that?" asked Luo Tian.

"A bounty hunter is someone hired by a beauty to protect her from harassment, and to shield her from having to drink. I’ll drink this for her," explained Yang Gang.

And with that, Yang Gang downed the drink in the cup.

"Hmmm... Blocking her from drinking is so boring; shall we have a drinking game instead?" suggested Luo Tian, smirking.

Luo Tian sneered internally, "How dare you pretend you can drink in front of me? I’m known as the ’king of booze’!"

Yang Gang simply nodded.

"If I win, I take a finger from you. If I lose, you are free to do whatever you want with me. How about it?" Luo Tian challenged with a smirk.

The crowd roared.

Lin Qingyu broke out in a cold sweat, assuming that Yang Gang, as the heir of the Yang family and a rich second-generation, would never take on such a risk.

However, much to Lin Qingyu’s surprise, Yang Gang responded with an innoxious smile, agreeing to the challenge.

The night market boss ran over promptly, whispering to Yang Gang, "Young man, you might not know this. Luo Tian is notoriously notorious for being a heavy drinker and exceptionally ruthless. If he says he wants your finger, he’ll surely chop off your hand. Just last time, a guy lost a bet to Luo Tian and had his finger brutally chopped off."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu turned pale. She tugged at Yang Gang’s shirt.
