Lu Si didn’t even bother with these people.
But Mei Shu was getting a bit anxious.
In her impression, she always thought of Lu Si as gentle and fragile, perhaps because Xiao Bao had left such a deep impression on her. She instinctively pulled him behind her, saying, “If you have a problem, come at me. Don’t bully him. With just you guys, I can take you down with one hand!”
“Hey, what kind of play is this? Beauty saving the hero?” the chubby man couldn’t help but tease.
Those around him joined in the mocking, “Yeah, there is a beauty alright, but where’s the hero in this? I think even a bear is more heroic than him! He’s just a wimp, and he needs a woman to protect him!”
“That’s right! Look at how he’s hiding behind that young girl. I’m embarrassed for him!”
The teasing around them didn’t give Lu Si any face, and it attracted even more onlookers.
The bartender wanted to step in to break up the fight but was stopped by the man who had been harassing Mei Shu earlier, who gave him a threatening look. He could only quickly send someone to notify the manager, who had gone upstairs earlier.
“Sister, you should hang out with me instead. Aren’t you frustrated being with such a coward? Follow me, and I promise you a life of luxury!” The man tried to put his hand on Mei Shu’s shoulder.
With a cold face, Lu Si grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted it forcefully, causing the sound of bones breaking. “I’ve already told you not to touch her. Do you want to die?”
The man screamed in pain and then felt embarrassed, glaring at Lu Si. “Let go of me, or else we’re not finished!”
All he received in response was a sudden increase in the force applied to his hand.
The man was already in so much pain that his face contorted. His eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to use his other hand to reach for Mei Shu.
But before he could even touch Mei Shu’s clothes, she suddenly moved, gracefully slipping behind him. She forcefully brought his other hand behind his back, pinning him down. “I’d love to see how you’re not finished.”
With both his hands held behind him, the man felt humiliated and angrily shouted to his friends who were watching, “What are you waiting for? Come and save me, my hands arc about to break!”
As he said, he was pressed down by Lu Si and almost knelt down.
“Ooh, beat them!” The chubby man quickly signaled to the others, and they rushed toward Mei Shu.
Mei Shu continued to hold onto one of the man’s hands and then kicked another man in the chest, sending him flying and crashing into a nearby table, shattering a wine bottle.
Seeing this, the others grew furious and rushed toward Mei Shu with whatever they had on hand, ready to throw it at her head.
Lu Si and Mei Shu exchanged a glance, perfectly in sync, and simultaneously raised their legs, kicking the man in the chest. Before he could land on the ground, they had already toppled the chubby man who had charged at them.
They didn’t need to exert their full strength against these small fries.
During the fight, Mei Shu initially kept an eye on Lu Si’s movements, fearing that someone might harm him accidentally. But as the fight went on, she gradually realized that this man was just as skilled as she was.
She was no longer worried about him.
Although this was the first time they had fought side by side, they seemed like seasoned partners. While it looked like they were fighting, even the bartender noticed that they were having a blast.
By the time the manager hurried over, the bar was in chaos. Several people were lying on the ground, moaning in pain. Even the most expensive bottle of wine in the bar had been knocked over, and now only shards of glass remained.
He immediately came over, first scolding the dumbfounded bartender standing nearby, and then approached Mei Shu with a stern face. “Young lady, you’ve started a fight in my establishment. Can you compensate for the losses you’ve caused?”
He was irritated by what had just happened with Sheng Quan, which was why he spoke with this cold tone to the customer.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t afford to worry about offending people. Even if Mei Shu had a powerful background, she had disrupted his establishment today, so he would absolutely not let it slide!
“I can cover all the losses. Consider all the drinks in the bar tonight on my tab,” Lu Si said, stepping forward and intentionally creating some distance between Mei Shu and the manager.
“Who are you to make such big promises?” The manager, irritated by everything that had happened, finally looked at Lu Si properly.
At this moment, the bar’s lighting was just dim enough, and his eyesight wasn’t the best, so he couldn’t clearly see the face of the person standing in front of him.
The realization that this person was exceptionally tall, making him, a bar manager, look up to him, added to his frustration. He said, “Do you know how much it costs to spend an entire night here? Who do you think you are, offering to cover it all?”
“I can afford whatever the cost is,” Lu Si replied with an unchanged expression. His dark eyes swept across the room, causing those who had been knocked down and were attempting to get up to freeze, no longer daring to continue their actions.
It was at this moment that the bar manager took a closer look at him, and the colorful light above their heads momentarily turned white, allowing him to finally see Lu Si’s expressionless face..
