Chapter 297: Chapter 300 Hero Saves the Beauty

(Here comes the second update... I’m asking for all kinds of votes!)

——————————————

"Young Master Liu, that kid is right inside!"

At the entrance of the Western restaurant, Gao Junjie carefully bent down and bowed while accompanying the livid Liu Dongjun towards the main door of the restaurant, his tone tinged with barely suppressible excitement and a hint of seeking credit.

He was truly too thrilled inside, for this time, not only could he eliminate the annoying fly, Xiao Yi, but he also unintentionally caught the attention of Young Master Liu—a piece of massive good news for him.

The background of Young Master Liu—although Gao didn’t qualify to get an explicit answer to the details due to his status, his father and uncle had told him sternly to never offend Young Master Liu and to fulfill any of his needs to the best of his ability. Gao wasn’t sure whether they lacked specific details themselves or simply felt it unnecessary to inform him.

However, judging from the commotion Young Master Liu had caused in G City these past few days, Gao knew that Young Master Liu’s identity was anything but ordinary.

In the capital, he must be an extraordinary scion of a prestigious clan, and even the Four Major Families of Zhao, Han, Li, and Zeng might be insignificant in front of Young Master Liu!

Of course, he also knew that he couldn’t expect to gain anything just by lending a helping hand to Young Master Liu this time, but as long as his name remained in Young Master Liu’s memory after this incident, it would be fantastic to be able to have a conversation the next time they met.

Behind him, Li Han and the other two men also bent their bodies and wore faces painted with excitement that was hard to suppress.

This was their first time getting so close to the legendary figure from the capital, and they couldn’t contain their excitement. However, along with their excitement, they also felt the same unease and nervousness as Gao Junjie; the air around Young Master Liu and the two men following him seemed to emit a discomforting aura, similar to, and perhaps even more intimidating than, the anger from Gao Junjie’s uncle.

Liu Dongjun did not pay attention to Gao Junjie’s words, nor did he even glance at Gao Junjie, but with an iron-faced expression, he headed towards the entrance of the Western restaurant.

From the beginning, Liu had merely asked a question in passing when Gao Junjie got out of the car.

Before coming here, Liu had already learned a bit about Gao Junjie. Though Gao’s status could be considered not too shabby, he was still far from having the privilege to converse with Liu Dongjun.

In other words, to Liu Dongjun, Gao Junjie was no different from the small fish and commoners on the street, essentially.

There was also no need for Liu to be courteous with him.

Moreover, Liu didn’t need to respond to him anymore; he was certain not only that the information Gao provided was accurate but also that he had seen him, and had even noted where he was seated.

The moment Liu got out of the car, he looked up and saw through the glass window the detestable figure sitting in that corner.

Though the kid looked somewhat ragged today, almost unrecognisable compared to when Liu encountered him at the villa, Liu recognized him at first glance—that kid was exactly the one he had been looking for!

It was the first time in Young Master Liu’s life that he had been so provoked, the first time he had been so deceived, the first time he had been so openly humiliated, and the first time someone had tried to dig under his wall. All these firsts had been taken by that kid! How could he not remember him, remember his face?

He had stared at this face, this photo, countless times, and he had no idea how many of his pictures he had torn up!

Lately, Liu had practically turned the whole city upside down without finding him, starting to feel somewhat discouraged, thinking the kid might have genuinely hidden himself away. He even considered returning to the capital first, but unexpectedly, he suddenly received news.

It seemed, indeed, Shen Xiaoxiao had lied to him last time!

That woman must be this kid’s girlfriend, right?

Liu Dongjun thought of the girl he had met earlier, a cold sneer rising at the corner of his mouth.

Who could have imagined, this kid had managed to find such an exceptional girlfriend...

But from today on, she would no longer be his...

I’m going to show him what happens when someone offends Liu Dongjun, to show him what living death truly means...

Not knowing whether to live or die, he dares to team up with Shen Xiaoxiao to cheat me?

In Liu Dongjun’s eyes, a sinister cold laugh emerged, and with that laugh, a chilling killing intent began to radiate from him... his steps involuntarily quickened.

Behind him, two men with expressionless faces also immediately sped up, closely following him like shadows.

"Young Master Gao... why have only three people come?"

Watching Liu Dongjun stride ahead, Wang Qiang quietly tugged at Gao Junjie, looking a bit worried.

"Yeah, Young Master Gao, why are there only three of them?"

Zhao Hu and Li Han also looked somewhat anxious; they had dealt with Xiao Yi so many times and were very aware of his capabilities, even developing a significant psychological shadow—a shadow growing larger with each encounter.

"Don’t worry, hmm, three of them are more than enough!"

Gao Junjie saw the concern of his three companions and let out a cold laugh, his face exuding an air of utter confidence as he spoke.

"Young Master Gao, are they very skilled?"

The expressions of the three companions were filled with doubt for a moment.

"Just wait and watch."

Gao Junjie gave his three companions a meaningful look, then quickly picked up the pace to follow them. In his eyes gleamed an uncontrollable anticipation, and his heart seemed to suddenly start beating faster.

Xiao Yi, today you’re definitely dead!

This damned Xiao Yi is finally going to die, to vanish from this world!

In the future, at Z University, I’ll no longer have to encounter those disgusting incidents, no longer have to fear him. Just give it some time, and I will reapply for the finance major, get back to Zhao Yuhua’s side. By then, no one will be able to stop me!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became in his heart.

He was very clear in his mind that this time, Xiao Yi was absolutely done for!

Before seeing Liu Dongjun arrive, he hadn’t been so confident, but now...

Even he hadn’t expected that Liu Dongjun would take Xiao Yi so seriously, to the extent of sending those two men over. The moment he saw the men behind him, he recognized them; those two men were the most skilled ones in Liu Dongjun’s entourage. Their skills might even be somewhat superior to Young Master Liu’s. That time, when he witnessed a wall being toppled, it was them practicing!

That meant all three of them were superlatively skilled masters!

Even though he had emphasized to Liu Dongjun during the tip-off that Xiao Yi was very good at fighting, in his mind, he didn’t believe Xiao Yi could match Liu Dongjun and his men. This guy, at best, was just a bit better than them.

He believed Xiao Yi definitely couldn’t knock down a wall with a single punch and, during the fight, produce the kind of steaming vapor or explosive sounds seen on TV or in novels...

Any one of these three men, he felt, could easily snuff out Xiao Yi with a flick, let alone all three appearing together?

"Excuse me..."

The waitress standing at the entrance was startled by the menacing approach of Liu Dongjun and his group. She hastened to greet them attentively, but before she could finish her sentence, she was abruptly pushed aside by Liu Dongjun.

Her figure felt as though it was violently propelled by a tremendous force, and her tall frame flew to the side like a kite with its string cut. She even forgot to cry out in surprise.

It was only when she realized what had happened and felt herself about to hit the ground that her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"It’s okay, don’t worry."

Just as she was about to scream instinctively, suddenly, she felt a tight grip around her waist and a comforting warmth enveloped her. Her descent halted, and she landed gently on the ground as a soft male voice reached her ear.

"Thank you!"

The waitress looked up to see a face that was not particularly handsome but very pleasant, with a gentle smile. She instantly realized what had occurred and quickly stood up, her cheeks tinged with shyness, as she gratefully addressed the boy.

"You’re welcome."

Xiao Yi gently let go of the waitress and smiled at her, a hint of guilt in his eyes. After all, this incident had started because of him, and he felt somewhat embarrassed by her sincere gratitude.

"What a hero saving a damsel in distress!"

Liu Dongjun had seen everything the moment Xiao Yi came out. He saw Xiao Yi swiftly catch the waitress, and his expression darkened even more, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he remarked dispassionately.

He didn’t think Xiao Yi’s action just now was anything special; after all, it was only a casual push that didn’t even use a tenth of his strength. Catching someone this way was not a big feat. At most, it confirmed that Xiao Yi had a couple of years of kungfu training, which matched the information given by that Gao fellow.

"There’s nothing to worry about here. These gentlemen are my friends. I’ll deal with some matters with them first. You should step aside for now."

Instead of directly responding to Liu Dongjun, Xiao Yi spoke kindly to the waitress.

He knew that a fight was now inevitable, and he didn’t want innocent bystanders to get hurt.

The waitress saw the look on Xiao Yi’s face and then the dark, menacing expressions of Liu Dongjun and his group, as well as the schadenfreude on the faces of Gao Junjie and the others. Even without much thought, she understood what Xiao Yi meant by "friends." With a worried glance at the boy who had just saved her, she hesitated for a moment. Seeing the gentle look on Xiao Yi’s face, she quickly turned and left.

With a smile, Xiao Yi watched the waitress retreat inside before he closed the door of the restaurant, his smile fading as he turned around, facing Liu Dongjun and the others with a serious look.
