Huang Zhitao and the others knew that now was not the time to reminisce, so they nodded and stood aside.
Su Chang walked straight up to the middle-aged woman, his face as cold as ice, his eyes revealing determination and authority.
He stared directly at the middle-aged woman and said in an icy voice, "Tell me, what exactly do you want? Controlling someone's personal freedom is illegal. Do you need us to go see the police?"
Faced with Su Chang's cold gaze, the middle-aged woman felt a sudden jolt in her heart and unconsciously took a few steps back.
However, when she remembered hearing the children call Su Chang "Teacher Su" and noticed that Su Chang spoke fluent Mandarin, clearly indicating that she was from out of town, her courage grew again.
She curled her lip and replied with a disdainful look, "What do you mean? I just made it very clear to them that they all need to apologize to my son, and that will be the end of it. Otherwise, no one is leaving."
Su Chang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "My students haven't done anything wrong, why should they apologize to you? Besides, I'm taking them away, so what do you want from me?"
As soon as Su Chang said this, Huang Zhitao, Qiao Yingzi, and Wang Yidi all looked at Su Chang with stars in their eyes, feeling that he was too domineering and made them feel very safe.
The middle-aged woman winked at a burly man beside her, who immediately understood. He strode up to Su Chang, deliberately showing off his muscular biceps in an attempt to intimidate her.
Then, he looked at Su Chang arrogantly and said provocatively, "Let's see if you're afraid of getting beaten up. I don't know what you're so arrogant about, you're just a stinky schoolteacher from out of town."
"Is that so?" A hint of disdain flashed in Su Chang's eyes. He casually slapped the big man's biceps, making a loud "smack".
The big man immediately cried out "Ouch!" and painfully covered the spot where Su Chang had slapped him with his other hand. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he gasped for breath.
Everyone on the Han side was startled by this sudden scene, their faces showing blank expressions. They didn't know why the Han was suddenly in so much pain.
Then, as if she had thought of something, the middle-aged woman leaned closer to the big man and whispered, "You silly boy, this acting is too fake. Can you act a little more realistically? There are so many people watching. This isn't a good opportunity to stage an accident."
The burly man cursed the foolish woman inwardly, but he was in excruciating pain and had no time to pay her any attention. His body unconsciously distanced itself from Su Chang, fearing another blow. He secretly thought to himself that his arm was probably ruined.
Su Chang gave the big man a cold look, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate his soul. The big man was so frightened by her gaze that he immediately lowered his head and dared not look at Su Chang again.
The middle-aged woman also witnessed this scene. She was bewildered, not understanding why the burly man was so afraid of Su Chang. Her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Then, the middle-aged woman's anger intensified. She pointed at Su Chang and said in a sharp voice, "You brat, how dare you make the first move? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you don't leave the airport today!" Her face was full of anger, and her lips trembled slightly.
Su Chang looked at the middle-aged woman with disdain, a slight smirk playing on his lips. He quipped, "I really don't believe it, ma'am. You should know this is China, a society governed by law, not the feudal era. If you want to rule like a king, you'd better be decades older."
Hearing Su Chang call her "auntie" and make that disdainful joke, the middle-aged woman felt insulted. Her face immediately turned ashen, her eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire. Her fingers clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly with anger.
She shouted at the burly men behind her, "All of you, get him! Teach this arrogant brat a lesson!" Her voice was full of authority and anger.
The burly men exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation on their faces, but under the middle-aged woman's watchful gaze, they still steeled themselves and pounced on Su Chang.
Su Chang, however, stood calmly with his arms crossed, showing no intention of dodging. His gaze was calm and resolute, as if he were looking at a group of overconfident clowns.
To everyone's astonishment, Guan Xiaodi and Li Meng's bodyguards swiftly drew batons from behind their backs and pounced on the burly men like lightning. Their movements were agile and decisive, each swing of the batons accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
In less than two minutes, the two men had knocked several burly men to the ground. They groaned in pain, their faces filled with terror and despair.
Immediately, the surrounding onlookers gasped in astonishment. They were stunned by the sudden turn of events, their eyes wide and mouths agape.
The middle-aged woman, pulling the boy along, involuntarily stepped back. Her face was ashen, and she trembled violently, completely unable to believe what was happening before her eyes. Her heart was filled with fear and helplessness, as if the world had collapsed at that moment.
Su Chang didn't even glance at the middle-aged woman; his gaze remained fixed on Guan Xiaodi.
He instructed Guan Xiaodi, "Xiaodi, call the police. Also, notify Li Na and have her send someone over to take over this matter." His voice revealed a decisiveness and calmness.
“Okay, boss.” Guan Xiaodi nodded, her eyes firm and decisive. After speaking, she and Li Meng’s bodyguard exchanged a glance, then simultaneously pulled out several cable ties from their waists and quickly tied up the burly men on the ground.
Subsequently, Li Meng's bodyguard called the police, while Guan Xiaodi made a phone call to Li Na in Shanghai.
······
In less than ten minutes, a team of police officers arrived like a whirlwind. The middle-aged officer at the head of the team had a serious expression and sharp eyes. His voice was deep and authoritative: "What happened here? Who called the police?"
Li Meng's bodyguard quickly stepped forward. Standing tall and with a firm gaze, she said in a respectful yet assertive tone, "Officer, hello! I'm a bodyguard from the Fiery Shield. These people attacked our protected individuals, but they have been subdued and are now being handed over to you. Our boss's lawyer will be handling the follow-up."
Chapter 284 Drunk
Upon hearing the words "Fire Shield," the middle-aged policeman visibly trembled. He knew all too well the company's background and power; it was not someone an ordinary person could afford to offend. Especially seeing the agile female bodyguard before him, he was even more certain that the person being protected was no ordinary individual.
The middle-aged policeman quickly said, "Okay, then leave the scene to us."
The middle-aged policeman then waved his hand behind him, his movements swift and decisive, carrying an undeniable air of authority: "What are you all standing there for? Take control of the suspects and bring them back."
"Yes, Captain." The police officers responded in unison, and they moved swiftly, rushing towards the burly man and the middle-aged woman like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
When the middle-aged woman saw that the police were really coming to arrest her, her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a thud, starting to shout: "This is outrageous! The police are helping rich people from out of town to bully honest locals!"
The middle-aged policeman frowned deeply upon hearing the middle-aged woman's shouts, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that at this moment, any hesitation or delay could cause the situation to spiral out of control.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and approached the middle-aged woman. He stared at her sternly and warned, "Madam, you led a group to commit violence, and now you are openly slandering the police and the victims. I advise you to cooperate with our police operation. We will record everything you say. There are surveillance cameras here. If what you say is untrue, we will file another charge of defamation against you."
The middle-aged woman then looked up at the surrounding surveillance cameras, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise and helplessness.
She discovered that the airport's surveillance system was meticulously designed, like an invisible net that covered every corner, leaving absolutely no blind spots.
Knowing she could no longer cause trouble, she lowered her voice and said to the middle-aged policeman, "Officer, my husband is Fang Tianming, and he's good friends with your Director Zou. You see..."
The middle-aged policeman frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing through his mind. However, considering the background of the Fiery Shield, he no longer hesitated.
His gaze was firm and resolute as he decisively ordered the people around him, "Take them away."
The middle-aged woman continued to curse and threaten, but she was forcibly taken away by the police. Her expression was filled with anger and resentment, and her eyes flashed with despair.
Su Chang watched all this quietly from the side, secretly relieved. After the police left, a look of worry appeared on his face, fearing that something might have gone wrong.
He looked at Li Meng's bodyguard and said in a serious tone, "Go and coordinate with the airport, preserve all the evidence, and be mainly responsible for handling this matter. After the lawyer arrives and the handover is completed, come and meet us."
Li Meng's bodyguard immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, boss." After saying a few words to Guan Xiaodi and leaving a few numbers, he turned and left.
Su Chang and the others arrived at the car. Looking at the group behind him, Su Chang frowned deeply, feeling a sense of helplessness. He had originally thought only Li Meng would come, but he hadn't expected her to bring others.
After everyone had put their luggage in the car, Su Chang said helplessly, "Xiao Di, drive the kids to the hotel first and see if there are any vacant rooms on our floor. If not, get them a few new rooms so they can get a good rest for the night."
"Okay, boss." Guan Xiaodi nodded quickly, feeling helpless.
Su Chang then whispered, "Make sure you've settled them in, then come back to us later."
Guan Xiaodi nodded, then led everyone into the car and left.
Li Meng looked at Su Chang apologetically, her lips trembling slightly as she softly said, "I'm sorry, Su Chang. I just happened to run into Tao Zi and Ying Zi at school this afternoon, and they all came along when they found out I was coming to visit you." Her eyes were filled with guilt and unease, as if she was worried that Su Chang would be angry about it.
Su Chang waved his hand, trying to put Li Meng at ease. A helpless smile appeared on his face as he said, "It's okay, but as you know, everyone here is my woman, so..." His words carried a hint of hesitation, as if he was considering how to handle the situation.
Li Meng hesitated before saying, "Then how about... we let them play by themselves?" Her voice betrayed a hint of uncertainty, as if she were seeking Su Chang's opinion.
Su Chang shook his head, his eyes firm and resolute. He took Li Meng's hand and walked towards the taxi parking area, saying, "Of course not. Since they came with you, you can't just leave them behind to have fun. You'll have to worry about them, and you won't have any fun. Let's be more careful then." His tone was full of concern and consideration, which warmed Li Meng's heart.
Li Meng nodded. She understood that Su Chang was right, but she still felt conflicted. She felt she had caused Su Chang trouble and couldn't help but feel guilty. Su Chang then took Li Meng's hand gently but firmly, as if to tell her not to worry.
"Alright, don't worry about it. We'll just have the travel agency rearrange things," Su Chang comforted her. A doting smile appeared on his face, as if to tell Li Meng that everything would be alright.
Li Meng could only nod and say, "Alright then." She was still depressed, her eyes filled with guilt.
Su Chang affectionately patted Li Meng's head, his movements gentle and delicate, as if he were protecting a precious treasure.
He said gently, "Okay, don't think so much. We're here to relax, so don't look so gloomy, or you won't look pretty." His words were full of love and care, which immediately improved Li Meng's mood.
Li Meng looked up at Su Chang, her eyes glistening with tears. She said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Su Chang. Next time, I'll definitely tell you beforehand if anything happens." Her voice held a firm tone, as if assuring Su Chang that she wouldn't make the same mistake again.
"It's alright, just be happy," Su Chang said with a smile. His eyes were full of tenderness and tolerance, making Li Meng feel incredibly happy.
Su Chang did not take Li Meng back to the hotel. Instead, he led her directly to a small bar on Yulin Road by taxi.
As soon as the two entered the tavern, they found many people gathered there, some drinking, some chatting, and someone playing a small guitar and singing upbeat folk songs on stage.
Su Chang only glanced at the scene before spotting Chen Nanxing, mainly because Chen Nanxing was too lively. So she led Li Meng over.
Chen Nanxing then saw Su Chang and the other person, and his face lit up with surprise. He ran over and hugged Li Meng tightly, excitedly saying, "Sister Mengmeng, why did you take so long to get here?"
Li Meng smiled helplessly and explained, "There's nothing I can do. Something happened at the airport, so..."
"It's okay, come on over and play games and have some drinks with us." Chen Nanxing didn't press the matter further and pulled Li Meng's hand to go play.
·· ··Requesting flowers··· ········
Li Meng glanced at Su Chang with a troubled expression. Su Chang smiled indulgently and nodded slightly, indicating that she could go and have fun without worry. Li Meng then went with Chen Nanxing.
Guan Juer noticed Su Chang at this moment, ran up to him, her face flushed, and hugged him like a cute little rabbit, saying, "Brother Su Chang, why did you take so long to come? We've been playing for ages."
As she spoke, her body seemed to go limp, collapsing into Su Chang's arms. Su Chang quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around Guan Juer's waist, afraid she would fall.
Su Chang frowned, inwardly groaning that Guan Juer must have drunk too much.
He looked at Song Nuan, who was walking over beside him, and asked anxiously, "Nuan Nuan, how much did Guan Guan drink? Didn't you say you were going to eat snacks? Why did you end up at a pub?"
Song Nuan shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile, "We were originally going to eat snacks, but Nanxing thought it wouldn't be fun just eating snacks, so she dragged everyone to the bar. Didn't Guan Guan and the others recognize a little sister? They played games together, and Guan Guan drank three beers and ended up like this."
Su Chang rubbed his throbbing head and sighed inwardly.
..... ..... 0
Guan Juer is a typical example of someone who's both incompetent and loves to play. Add to that Chen Nanxing and Gao Wenruohan, those two troublemakers, and now there's the crazy girl Tang Guoguo too. He's really at his wit's end. He's thinking that he needs to get Guan Juer back quickly, otherwise she'll feel even worse later.
Tong Wei walked over lightly, a hint of concern in her eyes, and asked softly, "Su Chang, where's Xiao Di?"
Su Chang looked troubled and explained helplessly, "Mengmeng brought a few students with her this time, and I asked Xiaodi to take them back to the hotel."
Tong Wei nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "Then you put Guan Guan in the car, and I'll take her home."
Su Chang quickly waved her hand, a hint of heartache in her eyes, and said, "No need, I'll take her home. You've been busy for so long, have some fun with them and relax."
Tong Wei looked helpless. She sighed softly and said, "I'm not playing anymore. I'm feeling a bit tired."
Looking at Tong Wei's exhausted appearance, Su Chang felt a pang of heartache. He nodded gently and said, "Alright then, but I'll take you home. You must have been drinking."
Tong Wei then realized that she had indeed been drinking. She frowned and suggested worriedly, "Just have the bodyguards take us back. You should stay here and watch over them. I saw quite a few men staring this way, and I'm afraid there might be trouble later."
Su Chang thought about it and felt that Tong Wei made sense. He looked around, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes, and then said, "It's okay, there are bodyguards here watching over things, they will handle anything. I'll drive you back and then come back. Guan Guan can't even stand up right now, I have to carry her upstairs. I'll come back after I drop you off, it won't take long."
Seeing Su Chang's resolute expression, Tong Wei's worries lessened slightly. She nodded and agreed, "Alright then."
Su Chang then looked at Song Nuan with a questioning look in her eyes and asked, "Nuan Nuan, are you going to stay here or come back to the hotel with us?"
Song Nuan glanced at the still-making a ruckus at Wen Gao Ruohan, pursed her lips, and said helplessly, "I'd better go back to the hotel with you guys. I want to rest too."
"Okay, let's go then." Su Chang got a key from the bodyguard, carefully picked up Guan Juer, and then led Song Nuan and Tong Wei away from the tavern.
Chapter 285 The Conflict at the Tavern
When Su Chang escorted Guan Juer and the others back to the hotel, they ran into Guan Xiaodi, who was about to leave. Seeing Su Chang carrying Guan Juer, Guan Xiaodi asked with a puzzled look, "Boss, what happened to Guan Guan?"
