The woman appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, a bit older than himself, but younger than Jiang Man.
Especially striking was the woman’s scholarly aura, which made her quite pleasant to be around.
Of course, what truly captivated Zhang Xiaoshan was the woman’s incredibly dense Qi.
"If I could win her over, I wonder how much I could benefit?"
Zhang Xiaoshan thought to himself, just about to go over and greet her, when he saw a group of people coming in from the outside.
These individuals were all dressed in black short-sleeves with tattoos visible on their arms, clearly up to no good. Dıscover more novels at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
About five or six people entered, heading straight for Jiang Man and the woman in the white shirt.
"Gentlemen, what are you doing?"
The small restaurant’s owner hurried over to them.
"Get lost, it’s none of your business."
Two burly men rudely pushed the small owner aside and walked over to Jiang Man and the woman in the white shirt.
"Dirty bitch, you ran pretty fast."
The leader was a man with short hair and a big gold chain.
"Who, who are you people?"
Jiang Man and the woman in the short-shirt looked at the few imposing and fierce individuals, their faces showing signs of panic.
"Never mind who we are, hand over your camera."
Big gold chain was staring menacingly at the woman in the white shirt.
The woman in the white shirt picked up a black hard case from a chair beside her and held it tightly in her arms; undoubtedly, the camera they were after was inside.
At this moment, Jiang Man also came to her senses.
"It’s broad daylight; you can’t rob us. I’m calling the cops right now to catch you."
Jiang Man took out her phone and began to call for reinforcements.
This was Jiang Man’s turf. Once she calmed down, she didn’t take those few thugs seriously.
But the aggressors clearly came prepared.
"Call the cops? As if I’d let you."
The man with the big gold chain snatched the phone from Jiang Man’s hand.
"My phone, give me back my phone."
Jiang Man yelled frantically.
"Keep dreaming, boys, lock the door. No one goes in or out. If anyone tries to call for help, chop off their hands."
These people obviously meant business and were seasoned criminals, handling things decisively.
Not only was the glass door locked, but the outside security shutter was also pulled down.
The entire small restaurant was instantly isolated, and several men in black began pulling out switchblades from their waists.
There were still a few other customers in the restaurant, all of whom were now terrified, hiding under tables, too scared to move.
Zhang Xiaoshan leaned in a corner near the entrance, quietly watching.
"These people seem to be targeting Sister Man’s friend. I wonder what they’re planning?"
At that moment, the bold restaurant owner went up to the man with the big gold chain, speaking with a frightened face.
"Big, big brother, let’s talk this out. It’s okay to ask for money, just please don’t hurt anyone. We can talk this over."
"Shut your mouth, you talk too much."
Big gold chain backhanded the small owner across the face, causing his nose to bleed profusely, then two of his men rushed up and pinned the owner to the ground, beating him until he was bloody and dared not speak another word.
The other customers were even more terrified, none daring to say a word.
In a brief span of time, the situation was completely controlled by these men.
"You, you know who I am? I am the Deputy Chairman of Wanshan County. If you dare mess around, I’ll have you thrown in jail."
Jiang Man stood up, thundering at the men in black.
However, hearing Jiang Man’s words, the criminals not only remained unafraid but also burst into unrestrained laughter.
The leader with the big gold chain disdainfully said,
"I’m a fugitive, why would I fear a deputy chairman from the county? After I finish this job, I’m heading overseas to enjoy a year or two. Where will you find me then?"
"Still, I’ve bedded plenty of women but never a government official."
"Sister, you’re not bad looking. Let’s have some fun, shall we?"
Saying this, Big gold chain reached out towards Jiang Man’s alluring face.
Jiang Man panicked instantly.
Unable to call for reinforcements, if these men were to do something outrageous, she truly had no way out.
A person as dignified as Jiang Man would never willingly let these hoodlums violate her. When Big gold chain’s hand reached out to her, she immediately grabbed his hand and bit down hard.
Big gold chain screamed in agony.
"Dirty bitch, I’ll kill you."
He swung his other hand violently towards Jiang Man.
Jiang Man’s heart sank as the woman in the white shirt beside her screamed loudly.
Just then, Big gold chain let out a painful scream.
Having resigned herself to her fate and with her eyes tightly shut, Jiang Man did not feel the man’s slap on her attractive face, leading her to open her eyes in confusion.
She saw that Big gold chain’s other hand, just a few centimeters from her cheek, was firmly held by someone.
Upon seeing who had intervened, Jiang Man called out excitedly.
