Chapter 056 I'm a Little Hungry
"hungry?"
Lin Fan smiled and looked at Su Ruowei, only to find that Su Ruowei was also covering her stomach and looking at him with an embarrassed expression.
"I didn't eat lunch, I'm a little hungry," Su Ruowei pouted.
"Let's go get something to eat then." Lin Fan said, looking around. There was a restaurant not far away that looked pretty good, with a three-star rating sign on the door.
Jin Street Restaurant, while not top-tier, is a local specialty in this mountain city of Jin Street. The key is that in such a mixed place, you can eat at a proper restaurant with peace of mind.
The stall owner looked up and saw the beauty before him, and immediately recognized her as a young lady from a wealthy family. Her fair face was lightly made up, giving her a fresh and refined look, far superior to the ordinary beauties on this golden street.
Then she glanced at Lin Fan next to Su Ruowei, dressed in a suit and tie, looking very elegant.
The two are either lovers or husband and wife, and must be business people from the shopping mall in front. They might even be the owners of this street. If you get on good terms with them, you might be able to get a discount on your stall fees.
The stall owner's thoughts became increasingly wild, and he finally came to the conclusion that he had to let the two of them stay at the stall for a meal, and chat with them to get some information out of them.
"This is a famous dish from Jin Street, Mala Tang! Would you two like to try some?" The stall owner said, then winked at Lin Fan with a mischievous grin, before turning to Su Ruowei and saying:
"After eating this, you can be with your boyfriend," the stall owner said, his face beaming. "You know what I mean!"
"What do you know?" Su Ruowei looked at the various dishes in front of her in surprise. She had never seen snacks from a street stall before, and it was quite a novelty for her to see them today.
"Thirteen for six yuan!" the stall owner said, then winked at Lin Fan.
"Ahem, let's go look at other places," Lin Fan said awkwardly.
“Okay.” After saying that, Su Ruowei followed Lin Fan straight to the Golden Street Restaurant.
"Oysters, oysters, grilled oysters, a man's energy booster, a woman's beauty salon!"
"Stir-fried chestnuts!"
Various hawking cries came from the roadside, but Lin Fan remained unmoved. Su Ruowei followed closely behind Lin Fan, feeling somewhat uneasy about the environment of Jin Street.
A crowd had gathered in front of the Golden Street Restaurant, making a lot of noise and doing something unclear. Just as Lin Fan and Su Ruowei were about to walk around them, they were blocked by several people who suddenly appeared.
"Handsome guy/beautiful girl, wanna give it a try? 100 yuan per round, and if you win, I'll give you 1000!" one of them said.
Lin Fan realized that this was a scam. Looking at the people around him, he saw that they were all overacting and obviously shills.
"Let's go, it's just a scam." Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, then pulled Su Ruowei away, trying to get around them.
The two had only walked a few meters when a deep voice came from behind them: "Stop! Who are you calling a fraud?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the stall owner stood up and walked towards Lin Fan. The group of shills surrounding him stopped acting and followed him over aggressively.
The stall owner stepped forward and grabbed Lin Fan by the shoulder: "Kid, come and play with me!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, knowing that the group of thugs would follow, but with a bunch of onlookers watching, he couldn't bring himself to do anything too drastic.
"Alright, what game should we play?" Lin Fan asked helplessly.
Taking advantage of their numbers, the stall owner became arrogant: "Playing with money! What are you playing with! You know perfectly well what I'm asking, so get over here."
"Say it again?" Lin Fan turned his head and stared intently at the stall owner. His eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, radiating a chilling aura.
"Playing, playing with money..." The stall owner's voice clearly softened.
"Not this sentence, repeat the next sentence!"
"You know perfectly well why you're asking?" The stall owner let go of her hand and took a few steps back.
"Next line!"
The stall owner stepped back a few paces, finding what he thought was a safe distance, and shouted, "I told you to get over here, are you deaf?!" He then waved to the crowd, "Get him! Kill this idiot!"
At the stall owner's command, a group of people swarmed forward and started punching Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, be careful!" Su Ruowei shouted worriedly. Faced with being surrounded and beaten by seven or eight people, Su Ruowei subconsciously took out her phone to call the police.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Fan effortlessly took down everyone in just a few seconds.
"Lin Fan, you?" Su Ruowei was extremely surprised. She had heard Lin Fan mention before that he had practiced martial arts, but she didn't expect him to be so skilled!
"How can you be a bodyguard if you don't have some skills?" Lin Fan smiled, took Su Ruowei's hand, and continued walking forward.
"Master, this is a master!"
"The scammers have finally met their match! It's a relief!"
Amidst the murmurs of onlookers, Lin Fan led Su Ruowei away.
The stall owner stood there dumbfounded, the insults and jeers from the crowd particularly jarring.
"Damn it, you think you're so great just because you know kung fu? Don't you dare leave, or I'll get my men to beat you up." The stall owner stared intently as Lin Fan walked into the Golden Street Restaurant, then pulled out his phone and dialed his boss's number.
A minivan arrived at the scene a dozen minutes later.
The van door was slowly pushed open, and a short, dark-skinned, fat man got out. The fat man had an enormous gold chain around his neck, and all ten of his fingers were adorned with gold rings, displaying the demeanor of a nouveau riche.
This fat man is Bao San, a local thug from Jin Street in the mountain city.
"What's wrong, little brother? Did you run into a business setback?" Bao San asked the stall owner.
"Brother" is Bao San's catchphrase. Whenever someone asks him for a favor, he calls them "brother."
"There's some bastard who knows boxing who beat up my brothers! Third Brother, please give me justice!" The stall owner cried and complained.
"Setbacks are inevitable, but don't worry, little brother, with me here, nothing will go wrong. I'll take care of everything, big or small!" Bao San said, gesturing with money in front of the stall owner.
The stall owner hurriedly handed over the extra thousand yuan he had swindled that morning to Bao San, then pointed to the Jin Street Restaurant not far away and said, "A man and a woman just entered the Jin Street Restaurant!"
Bao San, clutching a dozen or so red bills in his hand, frowned. "The matter itself isn't the problem, it's just that the money is a bit lacking."
"Third Brother, this is all I've earned today. If you think it's not enough, I'll make up the difference!" the stall owner said.
Bao San curled his lip and said, "How about this, you don't need to make up for it. My brothers haven't eaten yet. You can arrange something for them at the Jin Street Restaurant!"
"Okay! No problem, Third Brother!" The stall owner said, then immediately regretted it as he watched the people get out of the van.
There were four people in the car, each one fatter than the last, clearly big eaters.
The stall owner felt a little regretful. Suddenly, he didn't think Lin Fan was so infuriating anymore. Besides, he hadn't even beaten seven or eight people, so these four fat guys were probably just easy targets.
"Third Brother, that kid knows kung fu. Seven or eight of my brothers were taken down. Maybe we should just let it go."
Bao San slapped his thigh and roared, "Forget it? What do you mean! I came all this way just to forget it? Are you looking down on me?!"
