Luo Ziling and Lin Lin were not close, their exchanges during military training were only occasional, and having dinner together today was purely accidental.
But when a companion who came out with him was being bullied, he would never stand by and do nothing.
His other friends felt the same.
When a classmate who came out with them was being bullied, no one would turn a blind eye, not only did the male students rush out of the private room, but also several female students followed them out.
Coming out of the private room, Luo Ziling saw Lin Lin surrounded by several ruffians, looking petrified, forced back against the wall, hugging herself, and weeping sadly.
Whether it was because of the panic, or someone had molested her, her clothes were disheveled.
“Miss, don’t be shy, just name your price, and today I’ll make sure you enjoy yourself,” one of the young ruffians said with a leering face, moving close to Lin Lin, grinning cheekily: “Mixing in this world, you’ve got to be open-minded, the brothers here are not unwilling to pay.”
“Yeah, just tell us your price,” another young man also heckled, “Looking at your figure and appearance, you’re not bad, we’ll give you three thousand to spend the night with us!”
Cao Jianhui had rushed out even earlier than Luo Ziling, and upon hearing these hoodlums teasing Lin Lin like this, he immediately understood that these people thought Lin Lin was a woman of the night.
Overflowing with a sense of justice, he instantly stepped forward, pushed one of the hoodlums away, pulled Lin Lin to his side, and scolded furiously, “Get lost! She’s our classmate, not someone who’s out selling herself. Are you blind?”
With Luo Ziling there, he feared nothing. After decisively pulling Lin Lin over, he bravely stood in front of her, the very image of a Flower Protector. Lin Lin, who had been frightened, saw Cao Jianhui so boldly reaching out to save her, and in her excitement, she embraced him tightly.
“Oh?! Playing the hero to save the beauty?” The gang of hoodlums seemed surprised, the young man who had been pushed by Cao Jianhui, full of anger, yelled, “Motherfucker, who do you think you are, daring to meddle in our business? Get lost!”
During this exchange, three men had already surrounded Cao Jianhui, ready to lay hands on him.
Cao Jianhui hadn’t expected these hoodlums to be so vicious, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Though he had some basic fighting skills, he could see that the three hoodlums were skilled fighters; he couldn’t help but lose momentum, protecting Lin Lin as he backed away.
After being rescued by Cao Jianhui, Lin Lin had also recovered from her fear, and her tears stopped.
But upon seeing the three hoodlums advancing towards them, she couldn’t help feeling a bit frantic again and clung to Cao Jianhui even tighter.
There were many people coming and going inside the KTV, and many stood far off watching, but no one intervened in their quarrel, and the KTV staff seemed to turn a blind eye, not even glancing in their direction. Someone with experience would have known what was happening by now; if it was someone who frequented this KTV, they’d also recognize these hoodlums.
But Luo Ziling and his classmates lacked social experience, having just transitioned from high school to university, they were young and had little contact with society, essentially inexperienced.
Cao Jianhui, born into an official’s family, although a bit more worldly than the other classmates, had also encountered such situations before. But those were in his hometown, where he didn’t need to worry about trouble arising from such incidents, as his friends would handle the issues. Today things seemed less controllable, he didn’t know what to do, only managing to retreat in Luo Ziling’s direction.
Luo Ziling was also a person who could easily become impulsive. Seeing the three hoodlums as if they wanted to start a fight, he immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of Cao Jianhui, with a cold face he demanded, “What do you want to do?”
“Get lost,” the three hoodlums, seeing Luo Ziling step forward, were not the least bit scared and still pressed on. The hoodlum who had been pushed by Cao Jianhui had a big fire in him, “You should’ve asked around before sticking your nose in our business, are you tired of living?”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Luo Ziling’s collar with a very arrogant look.
When his opponent tried to grab his neck, Luo Ziling was instantly infuriated and immediately fought back. He grabbed the outstretched arm and, using a simple restraining move, threw the man out.
Filled with anger, the force in his hands was strong, slamming the man directly against the wall.
After being smashed against the wall, the thug let out a scream and slowly collapsed to the ground, struggling but unable to stand up.
The other two thugs were taken aback by Luo Ziling’s impressive martial arts skills, but after exchanging glances, they hesitated for a moment before bravely charging at him.
“Motherfucker, you actually dare to hit us?” one of the younger thugs cursed as he swung his fists at Luo Ziling.
Another cursed “damn it” and launched a kick toward Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling, remaining calm, struck again, kicking the first thug into the air and punching the second so hard that he slid several meters away.
The thug who had slid away collided with the first one Luo Ziling had thrown, both screaming in pain. The thug who had been smashed against the wall had just struggled to get up, only to be knocked down again by his companion, the two of them landing in a heap, comically struggling to rise.
“Boss, you’re awesome!” Seeing Luo Ziling swiftly handle the situation and the three troublemakers knocked down, Cao Jianhui was no longer anxious and gave Luo Ziling a thumbs-up.
At this time, Lin Lin was still holding onto him, and he took the opportunity to hold her tightly, whispering words of comfort.
However, just as Cao Jianhui was giving a thumbs-up in praise of Luo Ziling, a group of people charged over from another direction.
“Who the hell are you to act so arrogantly?” demanded the burly leader with fingers as thick as carrots, furiously yelling at Luo Ziling, “Dare to hit our guys, if you can walk out of here upright today, I’ll take your surname! Motherfucker, get them; beat them all to the ground. Break the legs of the males and throw them out, keep the female for a round.”
With that, he waved his large hand, signaling his gang to rush up and attack Luo Ziling and the others.
“Retreat to the private room,” Luo Ziling, still quite calm, immediately instructed the others, who were stunned by fright, to escape back to the private room.
Cao Jianhui, quickly realizing the situation, shouted for the other students to retreat to the private room. He dragged the stunned Lin Lin back inside while simultaneously pulling out his phone to dial the emergency number.
Cao Jianhui, after all, was not like the other students. Seeing the situation escalating and the KTV security not interfering, but rather watching from a distance, he already had a good idea of what was going on.
As he retreated to the private room, he quickly dialed the emergency number and also called his brother to explain the situation. After getting an earful from Cao Jianguang, Cao Jianhui angrily argued back and then hung up the phone in a huff.
He ordered the other students to dial the emergency number again and then dashed out of the private room, closing the door behind him.
He was determined to fight alongside Luo Ziling.
In the time it took Cao Jianhui to protect the other students back into the private room, make several calls, and then charge back out, Luo Ziling was already engaging in a brawl with the thugs.
