Chapter 172: Overestimating One's Abilities
Chapter 172: Overestimating One's Abilities
In Xiao Cheng's memory, Bai Lu had witnessed scenes where he dominated overwhelming battles, facing fifteen strong men as if it were a trivial matter.
However, injuries were inevitable.
It was best not to engage if possible. The display of strength in the previous battle had already been sufficient.
Bai Lu turned to the direction of the counter and said, "Bring me a glass of water."
Although the waiter didn't understand why Bai Lu wanted to drink water at such a tense moment, he quickly went downstairs to the restaurant and brought her a glass of water.
The atmosphere, charged with tension as crossbows were drawn, was suddenly interrupted by Bai Lu's request for water. All eyes were fixed on her.
She continued after taking a sip.
Unexpectedly, the next moment was eye-popping.
Bai Lu not only didn't drink the water but also walked to Hu Biao with the glass and splashed it directly on his face.
"Hiss!"
Gasps echoed throughout the room, even in the dimly lit corners.
Hu Biao, splashed with water on his face, hadn't expected Bai Lu to dare splash water on him. He was stunned for a moment.
After realizing, his anger surged instantly.
"Crash!"
The glass shattered in front of Hu Biao, and sharp fragments of all sizes scattered everywhere, with many landing at his feet.
Hu Biao's robust body shivered, frozen by Bai Lu's cold and stern aura. Even his angry shouts at the corner of his mouth subsided.
Xiao Cheng, Wang Hao, and Yu Dongxu were also momentarily stunned. After regaining their senses, they all looked at Bai Lu simultaneously.
Surprise, shock, and disbelief filled the eyes of everyone in the room.
Even the waiter who had just returned to the counter had weak legs and was steadied by his colleague just in time.
They thought Bai Lu was a quiet and obedient girl, or like she sounded on the phone, a gentle and soft wife. They hadn't expected her to have such a fierce presence!
Without saying a word, she directly smashed the glass.
This wasn't the demeanor of a delicate and obedient girl; she was clearly a flaming red rose with a fierce aura!
"Big sis is too domineering!"
Bai Lu coldly looked at Hu Biao. "Are you awake now?"
"You used to be Xiao Cheng's defeated underling, and now you are still Xiao Cheng's defeated underling, forever will be. Do you think winning another fight will change that?"
Hu Biao, who had been exposed, was instantly infuriated, but before he could utter the word "I," Bai Lu coldly interrupted.
"Who gave you the courage to show off in front of Xiao Cheng?"
"Your laughable record of losing over and over again, refusing to admit defeat. Look at your current state, beaten and bruised, bleeding from your head, can't even stand properly."
"Look at Xiao Cheng. Not a single hair harmed. What face do you have to challenge him again?"
Bai Lu didn't speak much, but each word struck at Hu Biao's bones, causing him pain. The beating from Xiao Cheng earlier wasn't painless, but it wasn't as obvious without the mockery from all sides.
Now, not only was Hu Biao in pain, but his face was also burning with intense pain. It felt as if his face had been trampled on the ground.
"Do you want them to..." "Call your group of half-dead lackeys to continue the fight?"
Each time Hu Biao tried to speak, Bai Lu interrupted him with a cold tone. The sarcastic remarks were all based on facts.
This made him tremble all over, and he pushed away the little brother who was supporting him. With a wave of his hand, he delivered a slap.
"Damn woman, you're asking for death!"
"Bang!"
Before Hu Biao's slap could reach Bai Lu, Xiao Cheng kicked him away, sending him flying into the group of strong men behind.
Although there were strong men to cushion his fall, there was still a crisp sound from Hu Biao's chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bai Lu watched the chaos in front of her. Many rushed to help Hu Biao, but she could see the hesitation in the eyes of the fifteen strong men who didn't dare to touch Xiao Cheng. In their hearts, they knew the consequences.
When she arrived, Hu Biao had already been beaten unconscious by Xiao Cheng, but Xiao Cheng had no intention of stopping.
The group of strong men all rushed up to stop Xiao Cheng, but they all called him "Brother Cheng" and didn't dare to lay a hand on him.
Obviously, Xiao Cheng had a formidable reputation among them. They were all people from the same organization, and they knew Xiao Cheng's strength and his style of doing things.
Water and fire don't mix. If they crossed the line today and didn't manage to kill Xiao Cheng here, they would undoubtedly be hunted down by Xiao Cheng in the future.
Xiao Cheng didn't care whether you were paid or doing someone a favor; if you hit him, he would hit you back.
And it would be a hundred times more severe.
All from the same organization, they knew Xiao Cheng's methods and were familiar with his style.
Water and fire don't mix, and if they crossed the line, they had to be prepared for nobody to collect their corpses. Being lowly lives down to the dust, the big boss wouldn't care, and they wouldn't care either.
The hesitance and indecision of the fifteen strong men led to the current situation. Hu Biao watched helplessly as Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu left proudly. The waiter handed him the bill for compensation, and he was so angry that he spat blood on the spot.
The kind waiter immediately called for an ambulance.
Before being carried away on the stretcher, Hu Biao was forced to sign the compensation form with trembling hands.
Wang Hao rode on Yu Dongxu's motorcycle.
Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng shared another motorcycle. On the way back, Xiao Cheng kept asking if Bai Lu felt cold.
Even after Bai Lu answered twice, he kept asking, as if the answers didn't satisfy him, repeating the question over and over.
After answering twice, Bai Lu stopped talking. The consequence of not speaking was that she was hugged by Xiao Cheng all the way.
Upon returning home, Yu Dongxu escorted Wang Hao to Xiao Cheng's doorstep, promising responsibly to keep tonight's events a secret and then rode the motorcycle back home.
"Sister-in-law, is Chunli really inside with my mom?" Wang Hao, who had been riding in the wind for a while, was barely awake from the drunken stupor, but he felt a bit scared to go in.
After being educated by Bai Lu for a while, Chen Chunli had become much more restrained, not hitting him in the past few days.
But her temper had become more volatile, and her emotions were unstable.
Wang Hao was worried that entering like this might scare Chen Chunli, who was already very pregnant.
Just in case she got agitated...
