More than a dozen men who looked even more street-savvy than them suddenly gathered menacingly behind Liu Yutong.
Liu Hao, the notorious tough guy of Internet Café Street, couldn’t help but gulp.
What the hell? Where did all these people come from?
The most shocking part was that these men actually addressed the girl as "Miss"?
Zhao Zhu was also stunned. She wondered if she had misheard or if the beating from Liu Hao had given her hallucinations.
This couldn’t be real!
How could Liu Yutong be some kind of "Miss"?
This had to be fake—it must be an illusion!
"Liu Hao, she must have hired actors! I know everything about her background—this is all staged!"
"Quick, Liu Hao! Teach her a lesson! She’s always been a coward—she’s just pretending! These people must be paid actors!"
Liu Hao slapped her across the face. "Shut up!"
Then, he turned to the group of streetwise men, cupping his fists in a show of respect. "Brothers, may I ask which gang you’re from? Let’s settle this properly."
After all, they were outnumbered. If a fight broke out, they’d definitely lose.
And Liu Hao was certain these men were from the underworld. Birds of a feather flock together—he could smell it on them.
Yet, none of them paid him any attention, as if they were all waiting for Liu Yutong’s orders.
Liu Yutong picked up an unopened bag of chips and handed it to Yun Cheng beside her.
Yun Cheng expressionlessly tore open the packaging and handed it back to her.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Liu Yutong elegantly picked up a single chip and placed it in her mouth.
"Before I finish this bag, I’d like you all to keep performing. I enjoy snacking while watching a show."
Zhao Zhu’s heart trembled with fear. If she got beaten again, she might really end up in the hospital.
"Liu Hao, big bro, don’t listen to her! She’s just messing with us!"
Liu Hao’s face darkened slightly. "What do you really want? Don’t think just because you have numbers now that you can push us around. I’ve got plenty of brothers too!"
Liu Yutong took another chip from the bag and handed it to Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng paused for a moment before accepting it and eating it without a word.
"Your time is running out. My patience is limited."
Ma Da and the others immediately formed a circle around Liu Hao’s group, cracking their knuckles with hostile expressions.
Liu Hao swallowed hard but forced himself to stay calm. "If you’ve got guts, let me call for backup! Bullying us with numbers isn’t impressive!"
This place wasn’t far from the vocational high school, and some of Liu Hao’s lackeys were students there. If he could just call for help, he could gather twenty or thirty people easily.
"Fine, go ahead and call them." Liu Yutong agreed.
Liu Hao thought he’d misheard. "Wait, you’re really letting me call for backup?"
Liu Yutong nodded. "I always keep my word. Yun Cheng, let one of them go to call for help."
Yun Cheng: "Yes, Miss!"
Liu Hao had wanted to go himself, but there was no way they’d let the leader walk free.
So, he quietly whispered instructions to one of his underlings from the vocational school, who immediately scrambled away in a panic.
As he ran, he turned back and shouted, "Hao-ge, hold on! Don’t let them throw you in the river—it’ll be hard to recover your body!"
Liu Hao: "......"
Liu Yutong: "Now that your man has gone to call for backup, can I continue watching your performance?"
Zhao Zhu and her two lackeys had bullied her countless times—she wasn’t about to let them off so easily.
But she didn’t want to dirty her own hands. It was better to let them turn on each other.
Liu Yutong took out another chip and handed it to Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng accepted it expressionlessly and ate it again.
This seemingly ordinary action put immense pressure on Liu Hao and his group.
They all knew that once the bag of chips was empty, things would turn violent.
Zhao Zhu’s two lackeys immediately dropped to their knees in fear.
"Liu Yutong—no, Sister Tong! We were blind! We shouldn’t have bullied you! Please, have mercy and let us go!"
"It was all Zhao Zhu’s idea—she’s the mastermind!"
"Yeah, yeah! It was all Zhao Zhu!"
"........"
The two girls quickly threw Zhao Zhu under the bus to save themselves.
Zhao Zhu’s face twisted in fury. "You—you traitors!"
Liu Yutong remained silent, simply handing another chip to Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng took it and ate it once more.
Nearby, Ma Da couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Hey, Miss, I’m standing right here too. Why don’t I get a chip?
I wanna eat too!
Finally, as if answering his silent plea, Liu Yutong handed him the entire bag.
Ma Da looked down and froze.
There were only crumbs left.
But he wasn’t picky. Tipping his head back, he poured the crumbs into his mouth and chewed. "Mmm, still crispy and tasty."
Liu Yutong: "....."
She had only handed it to him because she didn’t want to litter.
But that didn’t matter now.
"Since you’re not willing to perform anymore, then I’ll—"
Before she could finish, Liu Hao raised a hand. "Wait!"
He had been stalling, hoping his backup would arrive, but it was clear they wouldn’t make it in time.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Hao turned to his three remaining underlings. "Go on—beat them up!"
The men immediately rushed at Zhao Zhu and her two lackeys, fists and kicks flying.
Zhao Zhu and her friends had never imagined they’d be on the receiving end of violence—especially from Liu Hao’s gang.
No matter how much they begged, Liu Hao and his men didn’t stop. Or rather, they didn’t dare stop.
Liu Yutong pulled Yun Cheng slightly away from the scene and had someone secretly film everything with their phone.
Watching Zhao Zhu and her friends suffer, Yun Cheng felt some of his long-suppressed anger fade.
After all, he had seen the videos of how they had bullied the young miss.
If not for her stopping him, he would have taught these girls a lesson long ago.
As the group watched the spectacle, Liu Yutong suddenly asked, "How good are you at fighting? Are you strong?"
Ma Da and the others didn’t understand why she was asking, but they all instinctively glanced at Yun Cheng before nodding vigorously. "He’s not just good—he’s terrifying!"
No joke—Yun Cheng alone could beat Liu Hao’s gang and those three girls into submission.
They had all joined the Yi Lian Society around the same time, but Yun Cheng was the only one who had earned the boss’s trust—no, his favor.
All because he was an absolute beast in a fight.
If Yun Cheng had been there the day their boss was ambushed, he might not have driven off the attackers, but at least he could’ve held them off until reinforcements arrived.
Liu Yutong was slightly puzzled by their unanimous glance at Yun Cheng, but she didn’t press further.
All she cared about was that they could fight.
Today, besides getting revenge on Zhao Zhu and her bullies, she also wanted Yun Cheng and the others to learn a lesson about the rule of law.
