"Who says otherwise, this is about all I'm capable of in this life." Li Zhaonian looked at his son beside him, "Will, you've grown up and have your own thoughts now.
Your mom and I... have figured it out, we won't tie you down to this restaurant.
Think carefully about what you really want to do, and we'll also help you plan."
"Alright." Will was a bit surprised, and also a bit touched.
He got what he's always wanted, but somehow wasn't that happy about it.
"Yo, everything's cleaned up pretty well, huh?" an untimely voice sounded from the restaurant entrance.
Will turned his head to look and saw five men walk in from outside, led by the He Sheng Hall thug with blue hair.
The three members of the Li family exchanged glances, showing fear on their faces.
Yao Xin grabbed her son, afraid he'd act impulsively.
Li Zhaonian also stood in front of his son, forcing a smile, "The restaurant isn't officially open today, you can dine in tomorrow."
Pockface squinted around the room, and after seeing no one else, cleared his throat, "You idiot, who are you fooling? Do we look like we're here to eat?"
"Do you have brain damage? You don't recognize us this quickly anymore?"
Li Zhaonian politely said, "We recognize you, didn't we agree last time that both sides were at fault and we'd stay out of each other's way in the future?"
Blue Hair pointed at Will's nose, "This punk killed our Brother Long, it's not something we can easily let go.
If you're smart, kid, and don't want to drag your family down with you, come with us back to He Sheng Hall."
Will suppressed his anger and said coldly, "I didn't kill Zhang Qilong.
If I really did, the police would have arrested me already, not you guys."
Pockface said disdainfully, "NYPD doesn't mean shit. Whether or not you killed Brother Long is up to us at He Sheng Hall to decide, understand?"
Li Zhaonian feared Will's impulsiveness, and gave him a shove back, saying, "Guys, we were all clear last time, you guys are in this life too, it wouldn't be good to go back on your word now, right?"
Blue Hair's expression changed, "I swear... don't bring up last time again, do you really think I'm afraid of that punk?"
Blue Hair pulled a gun out of his pocket, his menacing nature revealed, "Brothers, take out your pieces."
Blue Hair, Pockface, and the fat thug all pulled out their guns from their jackets.
The other two thugs stood by, as if they were there to show force.
Blue Hair pointed his gun at Will, then moved it towards Li Zhaonian, "Don't think you're hot shit just because you've got a tough nephew.
As skilled as he might be, a knife can still bring him down, I could pop him with one shot.
He's got one gun, we've got three.
In this part of Chinatown, he's gotta bow to us no matter how tough he is.
In this territory, He Sheng Hall's word is final, got it?"
Maybe it was because he had a gun in hand that Blue Hair felt confident, seemingly forgetting the small setback from last time.
"Hey, you're throwing a party behind my back again." Luke walked into the restaurant with a smile, and Li Zhaonian breathed a sigh of relief, while Yao Xin's tense face also eased.
Will kept his eyes on the gun in Blue Hair's hand.
Seeing Luke, Blue Hair first shrank back, then firmly gripped his gun, raising his chin slightly as he spoke to Luke, "Hey, kid, what's your name? I forgot to ask last time."
"Oh really? I thought I told you last time.
My name is Luke Lee, could you put down the guns? This is a place for chopsticks, it's quite impolite to have them out here."
Blue Hair raised an eyebrow, "Are you forgetting things? Last time it was you pulling out the gun first, if you didn't have one, I'd have had you on the ground in no time.
Kid, don't think you're tough, none of us here are any worse than you."
"So you came to the restaurant just to say this, got it. You can leave now."
"Leave?" Blue Hair laughed, turning to his companions, "He wants us to leave, haha." Blue Hair aimed his gun at Luke, "You think you're calling the shots here?
No, I'm the boss here.
Will's face turned extremely unsightly, his fists clenching tightly; if only he had a gun now.
Li Zhaonian showed a worried expression, "Don't shoot.
That day we were wrong, we made a mistake, we're willing to compensate."
Blue Hair glared viciously at Luke, "I want you to say it."
Luke said with full sincerity, "You're right, that day we were wrong.
"Now you know to apologize? It's too late!" Blue Hair waved his hand and said to his four underlings, "Guys, smash this place for me.
Every time they clean it up, we'll smash it again.
This won't end until they truly realize how serious their mistake was, haha..."
Blue Hair laughed arrogantly, kicking a chair beside him, because that's what living this life is about, isn't it?
"Haha..." the underlings laughed too, rolling up their sleeves, ready to trash the place.
Blue Hair shot a provocative look at Luke, thinking, with five guys and three guns, what's the use of being a tough guy?
Once we've trashed the place, I'll teach you a lesson!
"Woo woo..." Just then, the sound of sirens rang out.
"Fuck! Who called the cops?" Blue Hair looked at Li Zhaonian and others, then pointed at Luke.
Luke shrugged, "It's nothing to do with us.
Now's still early outside, maybe someone heard the commotion and called the cops."
"Don't try to scare me with the police, what do you plan to do? Take us to the station?" Blue Hair put away his gun, but didn't seem very nervous.
