So, the Hao Family also began to secretly plan a new strategy.
As for the Xu Family, after this ordeal, they were kicked out of the four major families. Xu Kan convened a family meeting and decided to overthrow Xu Xian from his position as Patriarch, allowing him to take charge.
The entire family was stunned by Xu Kan’s assertiveness, and Xu Xian felt somewhat guilty, deciding to visit his old home. Thus, the Xu Family began to be controlled by Xu Kan. Although Xu Fei was a bit frustrated, he dared not say much.
For the time being, the environment in South Sea City was stable and harmonious.
This meant Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting could enjoy a wonderful time together.
This weekend, while the two were out shopping and returning, they encountered Liu Ting and decided to give her a ride as they headed to dinner. It was already 7:30 PM; Chen Tianlong, driving a BMW, didn’t go straight back to school and instead stopped at a nearby restaurant.
However, this restaurant was quite different tonight. Many cars were parked outside, yet it seemed empty inside. Most crucially, there were many people guarding outside, as if there was an important person inside.
"Chen Tianlong, why is this restaurant empty? Has it been reserved?" Wu Mengting was a bit disappointed, as this place served her favorite seafood, and the owner knew them both, always giving generous portions.
"That shouldn’t be the case. This isn’t a high-end restaurant, just an intermediate one at best. Big shots wouldn’t choose this place." Chen Tianlong analyzed.
Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, a young woman was hiding in a suite on the second floor, eating seafood ravenously, while two bodyguards in suits and black sunglasses stood outside the door.
Huang Ziyan had also heard from fans of South Sea No.1 Middle School that there was a place called Delicious Restaurant with delicious seafood. Once, a devoted fan uploaded pictures they took to Weibo, receiving over a million likes.
Thus, when Huang Ziyan arrived and found a hotel, she couldn’t wait to come to this restaurant. Her bodyguard, Uncle Kang, immediately ordered the place to be completely sealed off.
"What are you doing here? This place is reserved, and nobody is allowed to enter!" As Chen Tianlong approached with Wu Mengting, they were met with three burly men in suits and large sunglasses.
These men clearly were professionally trained bodyguards, not only large and strong but also highly alert.
"Oh? It’s reserved then?" Chen Tianlong said deliberately.
"Didn’t I just tell you?" The lead man showed a hint of impatience; they often followed Huang Ziyan around, developing a kind of overbearing attitude.
So, they generally didn’t think much of ordinary people, believing themselves to be superior.
"But my girlfriend likes to eat here. If I want to go in, what would you do?" This content belongs to novel•fire.net
Chen Tianlong said calmly.
He wondered whether it was necessary for a big shot to dine in a medium-tier restaurant ?
If you choose such a tier, don’t be afraid of others coming in to eat. It makes things awkward—don’t know whether you’re really wealthy or just pretending.
"If you don’t want to die, then get out immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude." The lead man was obviously irritated, shouting sharply.
At this moment, the other two men also surrounded him.
Seeing this, Wu Mengting hastily tugged on Chen Tianlong’s clothes, signaling him not to go in.
But Chen Tianlong was just stubborn; if it were something he wanted to eat and couldn’t, that’s one thing, but it was Wu Mengting who wanted to eat.
"Haha, I really want to know how you plan to be rude."
Chen Tianlong spoke lightly, then removed Wu Mengting’s hand, smiled slightly, and turned to walk forward.
The lead man was first taken aback, then got a little angry; this kid was clearly ignoring his words. With a wave of his hand, the three of them closed in, attempting to lift Chen Tianlong out.
But just as they approached Chen Tianlong, they suddenly found a figure slipping through the gap between them. The two in front felt a bump and then realized the figure ahead was gone.
At this moment, the three of them widened their eyes, hardly believing what they saw. How did that kid do it? Such a small gap, and despite their large build, he slipped through effortlessly.
After using the Ghost Shadow Flash to get past them, Chen Tianlong didn’t linger but walked over to where the front desk lady was and shouted: "Boss lady, give me a plate of steamed crab, a plate of lobster, and some miscellaneous dishes. I’ll eat at that table in the front."
The boss lady was instructing her staff to prepare dishes for upstairs when a young man suddenly popped up, startling her. But upon closer look, it was the guy who often came to eat.
The boss lady hurriedly went over, pulled Chen Tianlong aside, and said concernedly: "Young man, you better leave quickly. This place has been reserved by these people. I don’t know who they are, but they seem fierce. Earlier, there were a dozen customers here, but they all ran away after being coldly yelled at."
From her words, Chen Tianlong could see the boss lady’s reluctance.
Although the money from the reservation was tempting, those who came to eat were regulars. You earned this but risked displeasing your regulars.
"Boss lady, don’t worry. If I could get in, I have a way." Chen Tianlong said indifferently: "Just bring the dishes out for me, and make it three servings. I have two friends outside."
"This... isn’t quite right."
The boss lady was clearly in a difficult position, having agreed to the reservation and received payment, now allowing guests in—what does that mean?
"I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Chen Tianlong said firmly.
After taking a deep breath, the boss lady had no choice; she had heard that this young man was a tough character from South Sea No.1 Middle School, even the scions of the four major families in South Sea City showed him respect.
How could she, a small restaurant owner, dare offend him?
"You punk, you’re really bold! This shop is reserved by us. Leave immediately, or face the consequences."
At this point, the three outside finally rushed in, and the two standing by the staircase on the first floor also came over; now there were five people.
In their view, five bodyguards dealing with one not-so-strong young man should be more than enough.
"Tianlong, maybe we should pick another place!"
Wu Mengting rushed in, advising worriedly.
But Chen Tianlong was already enraged by these people; in a restaurant , you could eat on the second floor while finding a table on the first shouldn’t be a problem, making themselves seem like terrorists.
Besides, if they were really terrorists, would these few be able to handle them?
"Mengting, I’ve already ordered... Boss lady, go ahead and prepare, don’t mind these annoying guys." Chen Tianlong said calmly, completely ignoring these people.
