The middle-aged man with a face full of flesh, originally sitting at the doorway of the restaurant across the street acting as a door guardian, none other than Guan Caiban, led the fourth number thug-looking follower into the restaurant.
The blonde-haired man who blocked Ye Huan and Liu Tianyun at the restaurant entrance was unexpectedly among them.
Guan Caiban walked into the restaurant, kicked over a table, and then sat down on the sofa next to another dining table where he could see everyone in the restaurant, including Ye Huan.
He raised his fat legs, smoking a Hongta Mountain cigarette, and stared playfully at Tang Xiaoxiao, "Little girl, I'm asking you, who are you going to beat till their teeth are scattered all over the ground?"
Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes showed some fear, yet she still mustered the courage, shaking her little pink fists twice, "Wait... when I grow up, I'll... I'll beat you, you big bad guy, till your teeth are scattered all over the ground!"
"Little brat, tired of living?" the blonde spat, raising his sleeves with a fiercely sinister look, stepping forward.
Tang Xiaoxiao, after all, was a child, and was so scared she shivered on the spot, instinctively burying her head into Liu Tianyun's embrace, trembling with fear.
The blonde wanted to educate this little brat but upon taking a second step, was waved back by Guan Caiban.
He spat again and then reluctantly retreated behind Guan Caiban.
Little did he know...
If he dared to step forward one more time, he would meet his end in the underworld.
The coldness on Ye Huan's face didn't diminish.
"Little girl, planning to hit uncle when you grow up?"
"Then Uncle really has to consider whether to let you live to see that day..."
The words Guan Caiban said, filled with threats and amusement, scared Tang Dongqiang and his wife until their legs went weak, their faces ashen.
Tang Yao was also quite terrified but still summoned courage, angrily saying, "If you dare do such things, I'll call the police to arrest you, and let you rot in jail!"
"Ha? Did I say I was going to do anything?" Guan Caiban looked "confused" and then smirked, saying, "I'm just reminding you to watch your little daughter closely. Don't let her get kidnapped and killed by someone unrelated to me if you're not careful."
After speaking, he exhaled a smoke ring, his face filled with a rich playful expression.
The hint in these words was very clear.
The Tang Family became somewhat desperate.
Yes, if Guan Caiban secretly ordered someone to kill Tang Xiaoxiao, they really had no way to handle it.
As long as the perpetrator fled quickly after the crime, just like those who previously harassed them, the police could never convict Guan Caiban.
"What... what do you really want."
"Can't we just admit defeat?"
Tang Yao took a deep breath, and with a slightly pleading tone, gritted her teeth, "As long as you promise not to disrupt our family's life and not to harm Xiaoxiao, we're willing to close the store..."
"I didn't come here to discuss this with you."
"You have no grounds to negotiate with me."
Guan Caiban let out a cold laugh, then extinguished his cigarette.
The next second, his tone suddenly became irritable, addressing Ye Huan, "Kid, who allowed you to eat here?"
"My mouth is on my face, my legs are on my body, where I eat is my own business."
"But you, why don't you drive your taxi and instead engage in criminal activities?"
Ye Huan said playfully.
Hearing the name "Guan Caiban," he felt it sounded familiar.
Seeing Guan Caiban's appearance up close, he realized why the name felt familiar.
This middle-aged man with a face full of flesh was the driver of the taxi he called that day after dealing with Xie Guangkun and his son, when he and Tang Yao went to the underground fight club to find Tang Dongqiang.
When paying via WeChat after getting off the vehicle, he'd noticed the driver's WeChat name "Guan Caiban" was a bit unique, even teasing about it a bit, so it left some impression.
Before, it was too far to see his face clearly.
Now, at a close distance, Ye Huan immediately recognized him.
"Is it you, kid?" Guan Caiban was stunned for a good while before coming to his senses.
His eyes narrowed slightly, also recalling Ye Huan.
With this, it also explained why this kid insisted on eating at "Xiaoxiao's Canteen."
This kid had ties with the Tang Family.
Having ties with the Tang Family, there was no need to hold back.
Thinking this through, Guan Caiban's expression darkened, and he signaled the blonde with his eyes.
The blonde nodded, coldly glancing at Ye Huan who was "ignorant of danger," and then exited the restaurant.
In less than a minute, he came back inside.
Upon returning, there was a smirk of schadenfreude on his face.
At this time, Guan Caiban made a gesture with his fingers, smacked his lips twice, and said playfully:
"Kid, don't you know I ordered that no one is allowed to do business with this joint?"
"Your insistence on barging in really puts me in a tough spot."
"I, Guan Caiban, have a nickname, called Celestial Sea Seer. When I calculate, I see that your defiance of my 'edict' by coming to eat here and doing business with the Tang Family will soon bring retribution."
The moment these words fell.
Outside the restaurant, a series of chaotic noises erupted.
Everyone followed the source of the noise with their gazes.
More than a dozen thugs, wielding sticks, were smashing a BMW Mini to pieces.
Within less than half a minute, the once fairly new BMW Mini was beaten beyond recognition and left in tatters.
After finishing their destruction, the group of thugs scrambled to flee one by one.
"Oh my, would you look at that."
"How come my prediction is so accurate?"
"You're really getting retribution?"
