Since the beginning of the argunt between the two sides, one person had yet to speak a single line, seemingly treating words more precious than diamonds. He let his companion do most of the talking and only nodded when Jiang Li approached them.
This ti though, the guy could no longer maintain his silence since he was seeing by himself how a small talk about a minor matter turned into a fierce debate invading and airing multiple people's private lives. It simply couldn't be allowed to continue anymore!
"Gu Cheng, hold your temper. Let's just leave," Gu Feng said in a stern and cold voice. He spoke to the writer standing by his side. "Miss Tang, I think since this place is no good, we could just search for another restaurant. We don't need to create public disturbance just to make a point."
In reality, the police officer felt that a thank-you al should not be this troubleso. He was feeling apologetic to Tang Lan since he had eyes and knew it was his brother that escalated things this way. At the sa ti, he felt sorry for Na Yu for the insults she received from the couple.
'This happened when we are yet to apprehend the criminal who forced her to almost lose her life. It's really embarrassing,' thought the male lead internally.
It was a bit annoying seeing the man's expression being like that since it proved that Gu Feng was really an upright and honest fellow.
Jiang Li was sotis not right in the head. But he wouldn't be so shaless as to strike down a good man. But this was precisely what made the things annoying for him.
Because the other man was a real honest policeman, it would be quite against his conscience to do things that would push the other into being a resident of a ntal hospital. And yes. This semi-crazy guy still had a conscience even though he appeared like he didn't have one. He was not yet thick-faced enough to slap the innocent in the face for fun.
'This male lead is boring. Thankfully, his brother is an idiot greater than or anyone in this world...'
Jiang Li never claid to be a genius and knew he was not actually very intelligent given the fact that he got scamd big ti by his relatives behind his back. From the previous world, he learned how to hack. But learning stuff only intellectuals could do doesn't an he was gifted in the brain departnt. Maybe he just got the aptitude to learn that thing.
But outside of that, apart from being semi-crazy, what other strengths does he have?
He knew he could only bank on experience. He could earn points through his travels, but the system didn't seem to ntion anything about stats. It simply ant the system was a half-baked product based on ga systems. It couldn't give options to increase his intelligence or strength. All his weapons and stats would depend on the identity or body given to him every ti he transmigrated.
Anyway, the real topic was about how the male lead's brother was most likely not brighter than him - which he was feeling extra thankful for. He almost laughed when the man ignored his older brother and turned to scold Na Yu.
"Hey. Who is this busybody? Did you commission him to do this and set this up to embarrass in front of my girlfriend and brother? Na Yu, I never knew you would be this desperate! I think it's really like what Ming Ruo said! But I'm telling you, we can no longer be together again!"
'Huh? I rember that I scolded him for being a cheater. How did he arrive at that conclusion? Shifting bla to escape embarrassnt?'
Jiang Li was visualizing a red ter bar in his head corresponding to his guess of Feng Ru's asurent of anger. His basis was actually on how cold the atmosphere around them had beco. So far, the fine hairs on his exposed nape and lower arms were starting to stand up.
Obviously, Feng Ru, the busybody ghost, hated what the cheater said. It wouldn't be surprising if, for a depressed patient she didn't know, she was already planning to stay at the male lead's house and spook the brother out for seven days straight.
"Mister Gu." He shook his head and laughed. "She's my band's manager. I don't have to be 'commissioned' to step up if I saw her in a situation like this. And I rely said what I observed. Why are you being angry?"
A roar ca to him as a reply. "Shut up! I'm not talking to you, bastard!"
'Boy, why don't you just admit you don't want to talk out of fear I'll emphasize again your funny reason for cheating?'
The girl next to Jiang Li sported a very angry expression. However, she didn't speak to the guy but instead looked around for a staff who could help them out. She felt like a very huge idiot for volunteering to help in the restaurant today and for telling the guard she could handle those four.
Jiang Li barely managed to hear her whisper to herself. "Mr. Guard is not near. He must have been summoned by Mr. Manager, briefed about the upcoming event." It could only be the sole explanation why the guard usually at the door was not around.
Since Jiang Li was no longer leading her to back off, she pulled up her phone from her pouch and called the manager.
The guy standing to his left gave her a nod of approval. To be honest, he had been asking himself from the beginning why she was the one talking to these people. Where were the guards or the staffs? What does she want to prove to voluntarily confront this bunch?
He concluded, 'Her great IQ must have dropped to the negatives after seeing her ex. Tch.'
There was a famous saying that love can kill brains. He had experienced it firsthand before hence he knew he was actually not qualified to say anything about it.
"Hey, what are you doing?" It was the sa irritating ex.
Tang Lan, the quick-witted woman among them, widened her eyes, realizing what Na Yu was up to. Her face then changed into that of a fierce one. "Miss, stop. We will just leave." She looked apologetically at Gu Feng. "Although it's us who got the short end of the stick and for no good reason at all, fine, we'll compromise. Let's just not return here ever."
The female lead rolled her eyes at them. Then she gently grabbed the policeman's arm and turned around while half-dragging him. Gu Feng didn't forget to call his brother and his brother's girlfriend.
However, would things really end so easily like that? Maybe. But why would he let them go just like that?
"Hey, Sir. If you really plan to leave, can you please apologize first? I can let go of the fact that you called a bastard. But this girl here is accused wrongly by you. Rember? Just because this restaurant is already reserved and you're not allowed entry you accused her of 'hiring' to embarrass you by telling guesses that you cannot deny. I don't think what you said to her is nice."
