"Let go of me, or I'll call the police!" Zhao Yating threatened, her tone harsh yet fearful.
"Call the police? Useless, not only do I have a mutually beneficial relationship with those cops, but do you even have a chance to call them?" Yellow Hair said, his smile growing more arrogant and unchecked.
Zhao Yating's expression froze; she indeed had no opportunity to call the police at that moment.
"After I deal with them, how about we go for a drink? It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful woman like you," he proposed.
Yellow Hair's lecherous gaze swept over Zhao Yating's body, fixating intently on her chest.
Seeing this, Zhao Yating was nearly in tears; she had never been ogled in her twenty-some years of life, a feeling she found difficult to bear.
"Teacher, something has happened outside!"
Just then, Luo Tong rushed in, "Yin Donghan and the others were cornered by a gang."
"So they were cornered, so what? That punk is so arrogant, he deserves a lesson," Hao Jian said nonchalantly while munching on a bucket of popcorn.
"But Zhao Yating is with them too!" Luo Tong said with a wry smile.
"What?" Hao Jian slapped the table as he stood up.
"So she is, that woman is so arrogant, she needs to be taught a lesson too," Che Xiaoxiao echoed Hao Jian's earlier words.
Hao Jian furrowed his brow and said, "Take me to see."
Luo Tong nodded, then walked out with Hao Jian, and at this time, no one else felt like continuing their game and followed Hao Jian outside.
Yellow Hair was beating Yin Donghan and the others; seeing dozens of people approaching, he couldn't help but show fear, thinking these bastards must have called for backup.
Hao Jian shouted, commanding the thugs to halt their assault.
Seeing Hao Jian, Yellow Hair's brow furrowed deeply, thinking this guy must be the leader of the group.
He indeed couldn't associate Hao Jian with a teacher, given he was hardly a few years older than these students.
"Bro, who are you with? Coming to make trouble in my area, that's not very nice," Yellow Hair challenged boldly.
Seeing Hao Jian, Zhao Yating immediately showed a look of relief.
Seeing Zhao Yating's relieved expression, Yin Donghan's face darkened.
Hao Jian glanced at Yellow Hair, then turned to Zhao Yating, "What exactly happened here?"
"They came looking for trouble first!" Zhao Yating said anxiously.
Hao Jian nodded and then looked at Yellow Hair, "Brother, as for who's intruding, I think it's clear now. Just so you know, and I'm not afraid to say it, I'm with Brother Spice Ginger. If you don't want trouble, better take your guys and leave, or it won't end well for you."
Yellow Hair's expression immediately stiffened, knowing all too well who Brother Spice Ginger was. As a small-time leader who was not truly of the gang world,
he was just gathering some unemployed youths for protection money and petty theft; he never really engaged in any significant undertakings. He didn't have the guts to contend with a fierce figure like Brother Spice Ginger, for that was simply suicidal.
Seeing Hao Jian's entourage and attitude, Yellow Hair instinctively believed him.
"What? You want to fight? With so many brothers here, I think we can match you," Hao Jian sneered.
"This ..." Yellow Hair quickly forced a smile and said:
"Brother, what are you talking about? How dare I confront Brother Spice Ginger? I just failed to recognize Mount Tai here. Please don't take it the wrong way, brother. I'll take my people and leave right away. Everyone, stop fighting and pull back!"
The students of Hao Jian were also stunned, thinking how clever Hao Jian was to have fooled Yellow Hair with a simple lie, making him believe that they really belonged to the underworld.
Zhao Yating couldn't help but show a look of pleasant surprise, skilled in medicine, a master of pottery, and now his intelligence—such a man was indeed rare!
Meanwhile, Yin Donghan, who had been closely watching Zhao Yating's expressions, was feeling quite unpleasant.
He felt that Zhao Yating's heart was slowly gravitating towards Hao Jian, and if this continued, he would have no chance at all!
Suddenly, a sinister look flashed across Yin Donghan's eyes.
At this moment, Yellow Hair also reluctantly let go of Zhao Yating's hand. A beauty is good, but one must have a life to enjoy her.
Hao Jian mainly used a little cunning. He didn't want to stand out too much, so he thought he'd bluff his way through.
Yin Donghan and his friends hurried towards Hao Jian, but at that moment, Yin Donghan suddenly grabbed Hao Jian's hand, and said excitedly,
"Teacher Hao, thank you for saving me."
Seeing this, Hao Jian's eyebrows instantly furrowed.
The students also felt a chill in their hearts at the same time.
Upon hearing Yin Donghan address Hao Jian that way, Yellow Hair also sensed something fishy and grabbed Zhao Yating, who was about to leave, again, his piercing gaze sweeping through the crowd.
Then, he indeed noticed that these people all looked like students, all about the same age. If they were from the underworld, there should be both young and old, not just youths.
Yellow Hair immediately realized he had been tricked and glared at Hao Jian: "You dare to play me?"
This was not some big boss, but a teacher leading a group of students.
Hao Jian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Yin Donghan, who was also unfazed and met his gaze with a smug smile.
He had intentionally caused trouble for Hao Jian, successfully diverting Yellow Hair's anger. Now that he had extricated himself, it was Hao Jian's turn to be beaten!
Once Hao Jian got beaten like him, he didn't believe Zhao Yating would still regard Hao Jian as a hero!
Zhao Yating's expression instantly froze, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Hao Jian.
"Beat this kid to death!" Yellow Hair roared furiously, unable to contain his anger. This bastard dared to make a fool of him in public.
"Teacher, what should we do?"
At this time, the students were terrified because they were just ordinary students who had never seen such a scene before. Seeing Yellow Hair's men charging at them, they all turned pale with fear.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Hao Jian said with a slight smile, realizing that trying to keep a low profile was not an option at this time.
Hao Jian voluntarily stepped forward, apparently planning to take on these dozens of people alone.
Seeing this, the students were all astonished.
"Teacher, I'll help you!" Luo Tong stood up.
"Teacher, I'll help you too!" Zhang Jia also stood up.
"Teacher, we'll all help you."
Seeing Hao Jian stepping forward, all the students followed in his footsteps.
