By the ti Zhou Yuwen dropped Li Shiqi off at her dormitory, it was already 7:40 PM. He had arranged to et Zhao Hao, the agent from Jinken College, at 8 PM, so he decided to head over alone instead of waiting for Liu Shuo and the others.
Being ntally much older, Zhou Yuwen approached the situation more maturely than the young hotheads he was dealing with. He never considered the possibility of a physical confrontation, seeing the matter as a business dispute that could be resolved through discussion. But the reality of the young people he was dealing with was different.
When Zhao Hao saw Zhou Yuwen arrive alone, he was taken aback and thought, "Is this guy really that brave?"
As Zhou Yuwen approached the barbecue stall, he noticed about eighteen people gathered around two tables. So had tattoos, which seed out of place in a university setting. A row of mopeds was parked at the entrance, and the group, which included both n and won, was eating, drinking, and talking loudly.
One shouted, "Who the hell dares to ss with Brother Hao’s business!"
At that mont, Zhou Yuwen realized that despite his ntal age of thirty, he was physically eighteen and was now facing a real threat of violence.
Maintaining his composure, Zhou Yuwen sat at a small table in the corner. A young girl working at the barbecue stall, who seed to be around seventeen or eighteen, ca over to take his order. She had a ponytail and looked quite simple and honest, likely brought out by her village brother to earn a living.
"I'll have a plate of peanuts and a beer bottle," Zhou Yuwen ordered.
"Is that all?" she asked.
"Yes."
She didn’t disdain the small order and even gave Zhou Yuwen a generous helping of peanuts and an ice-cold beer.
Zhou Yuwen calmly poured himself a beer and began eating the peanuts. anwhile, Zhao Hao and his group noticed him but were unsure of his intentions. Zhao Hao had gathered this group to make a show of force, not necessarily to fight.
One of the more aggressive mbers of the group, a guy with shoulder-length hair, seed eager for a confrontation. "That guy looks like the one who’s been stealing Brother Hao’s business," he said.
"Hold on," Zhao Hao stopped him, trying to keep things calm.
"Don’t worry, Brother Hao, I’ll handle this," the long-haired guy said, swaggering over to Zhou Yuwen’s table, followed by the rest of the group. The intimidating presence of about ten people standing around Zhou Yuwen was palpable.
The long-haired guy slamd his hand on the table. "So, you’re stealing my brother Hao’s business!"
That night’s events were hard to describe. Zhou Yuwen hadn’t planned on fighting, but the long-haired guy seed to have a screw loose, constantly provoking him. Zhou Yuwen warned him not to point the beer bottle at him, but the guy persisted.
"What if I do?" the guy sneered, waving the bottle.
Zhou Yuwen kicked him without another word, sending him sprawling to the ground. The surrounding group was stunned.
Zhao Hao had hoped to intimidate Zhou Yuwen with numbers, not to start a fight. Now, seeing his friend knocked down, the group tensed, ready to retaliate.
"Who the hell dares touch Brother Zhou!" Liu Shuo’s voice bood from a distance.
Everyone turned to see a large group approaching, one figure after another until a sizeable crowd gathered behind Zhou Yuwen. It was a dramatic sight.
The young girl at the barbecue stall would never forget that night. Initially, she thought the troublemakers were bullying a university student. But the scene soon transford into sothing out of a movie as a group of sturdy young n stood behind Zhou Yuwen.
Leading them, Liu Shuo, looking fierce, shouted, "What’s this? Bringing so many people to fight?"
"I’ve never been afraid of a fight!" Liu Shuo spat on the ground, glaring at Zhao Hao’s group.
Zhao Hao’s crew, initially consisting of about ten people, including n and won, was now visibly shaken. They had not expected such a large and intimidating response. As more people arrived, they began to panic.
Zhou Yuwen’s reinforcents, now numbering around seventy, were all sturdy young n, creating an overwhelming presence.
Liu Shuo had initially planned to bring thirty people, but the numbers grew as he rallied his classmates. His entire class of chanical engineering students got involved, eager for free barbecue.
Even the representative from a neighboring class joined in, saying, "Sure, we’ll join for free barbecue!"
As a result, two classes combined, bringing together over seventy people.
Liu Shuo felt proud to be leading such a large group. He had never organized sothing so grand before.
Zhou Yuwen sighed as he saw the scale of the gathering, knowing that the situation had escalated beyond a simple business dispute.
