My beautiful CEO wife
Chapter 560

Chapter 560: 560

"She’s... just a child!"

"How can they threaten a child like this?"

"It’s despicable."

"This is a black-hearted business indeed."

The onlookers who saw this scene began to murmur among themselves, their faces bearing expressions of pity.

However, not a single one of them stopped to interfere with the hulking man.

They were all looking out for their own interests.

Inside the restaurant, those few brawny men, looking fierce and menacing, had an aura of violence about them that made it clear they were used to fighting and not to be provoked.

"Shut the fuck up, all of you, or I’ll beat you up too," the brawny man roared at the people outside in a very domineering manner.

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Fear was evident in their eyes.

They didn’t dare provoke these brutes.

Even some of the locals were sighing in secret. They knew that the Shrimp Flavor Restaurant was backed by someone powerful!

It was not just about bullying a few tourists from out of town. Even if they killed someone, no one would pursue the matter, as they were the local tyrants!

At that moment, the little girl, after being shouted at by the man, cried even louder, but there was a stubborn look on her face as she refused to move out of the way.

"No... Don’t you bully my daddy."

The frail man saw this and was terrified. He quickly said, "Xiao Chen, be obedient, move aside, hurry up and move. Don’t stand there."

Fearing that the brawny man might hit the girl, the frail man covered his face, endured the pain, stood up, and said to the brute, "Come at me if you dare, don’t bully my woman and child."

The hulking man sneered, "Women, children? Heh, I do feel like bullying them, what can you do about it, you weakling?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the pregnant woman and said with a lecherous smile, "I’m tired of ordinary women, but I haven’t tried a pregnant one yet. Today I’m going to indulge."

The henchman behind him, along with several other ruffians, all laughed uproariously, with some saying, "Compared to a pregnant woman, a little girl is more fun, heh heh, heh heh heh."

The three frail individuals turned pale at these words. They looked helplessly outside, but all the people out there had evasive looks on their faces.

"This is what you get for trying to dine and dash," the hulking man said, and with a wave of his hand commanded, "Grab them all for me, we’ll take them to the back and have a nice chat."

"You’re lawless!"

The frail man, hearing this, had despair in his eyes; he had not expected to encounter such vicious criminal forces here!

"Lawless? Here, I am the law!" the brute scoffed, reaching out to grab the little girl.

The frail man, seeing this, roared and rushed forward to intervene but was kicked away. The pregnant woman, anxious to protect her child, also rushed forward, only to be grabbed by one of the thugs.

Everyone outside was watching silently; not a single person spoke up.

Within the restaurant, the thugs were sneering triumphantly, very arrogant.

No one noticed that amid the crowd, one person’s face grew darker and darker.

His eyes blazed with intense killing intent!

Xiao Zheng.

He had watched this whole farce from beginning to end. He thought it was a minor dispute and that with so many people around, someone would speak up, call the police or something, and those thugs inside the restaurant wouldn’t be so arrogant.

But Xiao Zheng was wrong.

During broad daylight, those thugs committed such terrible acts unchallenged, with everyone watching in trepidation.

"A bunch of scum."

Xiao Zheng coldly spat out a few words and then walked into the restaurant.

Upon seeing this, the burly men were taken aback, then immediately shouted, "Who the hell are you? Didn’t you see we were having a good time here? Disturb us and we’ll kill you!"

Xiao Zheng let out a cold laugh and continued walking forward.

The strong men’s faces changed, they glanced at each other, and then one of them roared and, raising a fist, charged at Xiao Zheng.

Whoosh!

But when his punch exploded in the air, there was only a light whoosh sound, and he hit empty air. The man turned his head in shock to find Xiao Zheng already behind him.

"Such incredible speed."

The burly man exclaimed in shock.

The onlookers outside also murmured among themselves, all of them watching with wide eyes.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng came to the little girl’s side and squatted down.

"Little friend, I’ll teach a lesson to the people bullying your dad, but in exchange, you have to promise me to close your eyes and cover your ears, okay?"

Xiao Zheng said with a smile on his face.

The little girl looked at Xiao Zheng with confusion. Her small cheeks still wet with tears, Xiao Zheng’s face bore a gentle smile, and his handsome features instilled a feeling of kindness and trust. Instinctively, the little girl believed Xiao Zheng, nodded, and murmured an affirmative grunt.

But then she immediately said in her childish voice, "But big brother, you can’t lie to me."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t lie to you. Let’s pinky promise."

With that, he extended his pinky finger and made a pinky promise with the little girl. Only then did the girl happily close her eyes and tightly cover her ears.

While Xiao Zheng was doing this, he acted very naturally as if it was only to be expected, and the burly men watched without intervening.

Even they didn’t know why.

The skinny man and the pregnant woman were also baffled.

After the little girl obediently closed her eyes, the big man finally reacted. He slapped towards Xiao Zheng while cursing, "Damn it, where the hell did this punk jump out from, daring to mess with me!"

Whoosh!

Xiao Zheng suddenly turned around.

Cold light flashed in his eyes.

Feeling Xiao Zheng’s gaze, an inexplicable chill crept into the big man’s heart, slowing his movements.

And at that moment, Xiao Zheng moved!

His body merely flashed and he appeared in front of the big man. Then he threw a punch that hit the man’s chest.

Boom!

The big man was sent flying, crashing into the wall with a huge noise.

Then, with a boom, he fell to the ground, coughing out large mouthfuls of blood.

The crowd watched the scene in horror. It happened so suddenly! With just one punch, this young man had sent a fully grown man, who must have weighed around 170 to 180 pounds, flying! The scene was too surreal.

The skinny man and the pregnant woman were also stunned. The little girl, with her ears covered and her eyes closed, had seen nothing.

Such a gory scene wasn’t suitable for children, which was why Xiao Zheng had asked the little girl to do what she did. Because what he was about to do involved a lot of killing!

Xiao Zheng was enraged.

At that time, the other ruffians, seeing this unfold, were incredibly shocked. However, this was their turf after all, and they were accustomed to being arrogant. So after exchanging a glance, they let out a loud shout and all charged at Xiao Zheng.

They didn’t believe that so many of them couldn’t overpower one young kid!
