âThey left?â When Pei Man came out of the kitchen, she saw that the restaurant was already empty.
Lin Yun secretly stuffed a card into her pocket and walked toward Pei Man. âHowâs Dad?â
Pei Man sighed softly. âItâs fine. Iâve already asked him to rest. I called your Uncle Chen who said that he would come over to take a look later.â
Lin Yun nodded and did not continue asking.
She had seen Uncle Chen before. It was said that he was the descendant of a family of Chinese medicine practitioners.
She had never heard of Uncle Chenâs work but the Lin family seemed to trust him very much.
Although Lin Yun really wanted Pei Man to send Lin Ting to the hospital for a checkup, the hooligans outside had yet to leave. It would be troublesome if they were followed.
â¦
The bald man was left alone at a highway intersection a few kilometers away from the fishing village. All his belongings had been snatched away, so he could only get off the highway and borrow a phone from someone to call his boss.
âBrother Qiâ¦â his voice sounded weak.
âIs it done?â Brother Qi sounded impatient. âWhy did it take so long?â
The bald man didnât know how to explain.
After all, the task was just to deal with the villagers of a small fishing village. Before he left, he had promised Brother Qi that it would only take two to three hours.
But now, his brothers had fled in all directions. He had been beaten up and left in the middle of nowhere.
âBrother Qi, thereâs a problem.â The bald man swallowed his saliva and spoke again.
âWhatâs wrong? Whereâs Eagle? Why havenât we heard from him?â Brother Qi asked impatiently.
The bald man sighed and said, âEagle also⦠got into a problem!â
âStop talking nonsense with me! Tell me clearly! Whatâs going on!â Brother Qi instantly exploded with anger and roared into the phone.
The bald man pulled the phone away. After a while, he came back and said, âThe Lin family is not to be trifled with. Also⦠andâ¦â
âWhat else! Stop nagging! Speak!â Brother Qiâs voice sounded even more irritable.
âThe villagers ran out together to help them. We were outnumbered!â The bald man thought about his words as he attempted to retain a slither of dignity.
âLater on, another group of people came and helped the Lin family. We werenât sufficiently prepared and fell into their trap!â
âWe actually⦠â
As the bald man spoke, he seemed like he had been tricked by someone.
Brother Qi stopped him impatiently. âSo how did it go? Where are Eagle and the others?â
The bald man paused for a moment before saying, âI got separated from them. Iâm now in a remote villageâ¦â
âIâll find Eagle as soon as possible and report back to you!â
âIf you canât do it, donât come back!â Brother Qi shouted coldly. âIf you canât cause any trouble to the Lin family in the fishing village today, none of you can come back!â
The bald man listened to Brother Qiâs roar and stood there aggrievedly, not daring to make a sound.
After hanging up the phone, the bald man sighed and looked at the villager who was waiting for him to pay. He slapped him. âIf I had money, I wouldnât need to borrow your phone!â
After saying that, the bald man kicked the villager fiercely and turned to walk back the way he came.
He had only taken two steps when he saw more than ten villagers suddenly appear in front of him.
They all glared at the bald man.
The bald man snorted. âWhat? You want to rob me?â
âThis guy borrowed my phone but didnât pay. He even hit me! Brothers, beat him up!â The voice of the villager who had just been hit by the bald man came from behind.
