When Meng Lang returned to the booth, he found that several barbecue dishes were ordered on the table, and the two of them were actually making skewers.
Yan Weiwei ate the chicken wings in her hand and looked at him suspiciously.
"It took you so long to go to the bathroom?"
"Oh, I watched the excitement for a while on the way back."
"Are you sure you're here to watch the fun and not see the beautiful women? The girls in this bar wear such cool clothes. Men, I understand."
You are not a man, you know how to hammer!
Meng Lang rolled his eyes.
"Instead of caring about whether I went to see a beautiful woman, you should be more concerned about the beautiful woman in your family. She seems to be in trouble..."
Meng Lang said, pointing to the distance near the stage.
Yan Weiwei turned around and looked doubtfully...
…
After Lin Haitang and the band finished singing, as soon as they got off the stage, seven or eight gangsters surrounded them.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to invite Miss Lin for a drink. You see, we came to invite you two days ago and you didn't agree. We just visited the thatched cottage three times, right?
You have to give me some face today!"
The lip-studded gangster who spoke seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and showed a malicious smile on his face.
"Sorry! I don't know you, and I don't drink. My friend is still waiting for us. Please give way."
"Hey! Don't leave in a hurry!"
Several gangsters smiled and opened their hands to block the way of several more people.
"Don't go too far!"
"Why should I drink with you?"
"That's it! If you keep pestering us, we'll call security!"
The band members stepped forward one after another, causing a slight commotion and causing the surrounding guests to look over.
"Call security? Okay! You should call them!
I see that some of the ladies are also free, so why don’t we go over and sit down together!”
The lip-studded gangster had an indifferent and arrogant look on his face, and several of his younger brothers even took a few steps closer with smiles on their faces.
The members of the fleeting band were all girls. They had never seen such a battle before, and they immediately panicked.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit came over with two security guards.
"Manager Lu!" The people in the fleeting band obviously knew this middle-aged man, as if they had found a savior.
"These guys want to force us to drink!"
The bar manager had obviously encountered this kind of thing many times, but when he saw the men with studded lips, he immediately frowned.
"Why is it you again? Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble here two days ago?"
Hearing this, the man with the studded lips raised his thumbs up proudly and pointed behind him.
"Hehe! You don't have to give me my face, but you have to give it to our boss, right?"
"Your boss?"
Everyone immediately looked behind them and saw a man with two moustache, surrounded by a group of gangsters like a star over the moon, smiling and raising his glass to signal them.
When Manager Lu saw the leader, his serious face immediately fell.
He quickly put on a smile on his face and took two steps quickly, saying something submissive to Hu Dazhi and others, and looking at Lin Haitang and others from time to time.
Not long after, Manager Lu came back with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Um... Lin's lead singer, Boss Hu thinks your singing is good. He just wants to get to know you over a drink. There's no other meaning. Look..."
Just this formation, no other meaning?
Lin Haitang shook his head firmly.
"I'm sorry, Manager Lu, our contract is just for resident singing, and there is no clause that requires us to accompany the guests to drink."
Manager Lu was a little embarrassed for such an obvious rejection.
If someone offends him, he will be offended, but there are hundreds of brothers under Hu Dazhi, and even the bar owner has to pay a monthly protection fee.
If you piss off these people, it will be difficult to continue the bar business...
Even in a harmonious society, the phenomenon of protection fees cannot be completely eliminated.
Especially in high-profit industries such as bars, KTV, and nightclubs, the oil and water in them are much richer than in the ordinary catering and entertainment industry, and they are surrounded by wolves.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there will be gray areas!
It's just that the forms and methods of collecting protection fees have also kept pace with the times and become more secretive.
Generally speaking, there are several groups of people who collect this kind of protection fees.
The first type is a black society gang.
Even though they are the most arrogant, they are also the group with the lowest standards.
The second type is legitimate security companies.
Generally, they are registered formally, and the stores that pay protection fees are protected by posting security guards.
If someone makes trouble in a certain store, they can mobilize dozens or even hundreds of security guards from the surrounding areas to come together to suppress the situation, forming regional linkage.
This requires strong enough strength and high prestige in a certain area to allow stores in the area to accept their "security services."
Compared to the first type, this one is a bit higher grade.
At least they have done "risk control" and "compliance" and paid five social insurances and one housing fund for their subordinates. On the surface, you can't find anything wrong with it. Others have to praise you for helping to reduce the unemployment rate and improve social security.
As for the third type...it is the more mysterious "big brother". I understand everyone, but I won't describe it here.
Hu Dazhi and his group undoubtedly belong to the first category.
That is, by throwing paint and smashing glass and other rogue tricks of "trick-or-treating", the bar owner spends money to buy something quiet.
This method generally targets individual bars or KTVs that have little strength and operate independently.
If it is a big-name bar, it will be difficult for such gangsters to take advantage of it.
Because bars with big brands have money!
Do you want to give him 500,000 yuan every month? Believe it or not, he can directly sue you for blackmail, and then immediately take 1 million yuan and send you to jail?
The boss of Gravity obviously does not have such strength and courage, so naturally he does not dare to offend Hu Dazhi and these local cowards.
"Hehe! Let me tell you, not to mention the manager, even the owner of this bar has to respectfully call me Brother Dazhi when he sees me.
If you don’t give me this face today, I’m afraid your band will never be able to continue singing in this bar in the future!”
The lip-studded gangster was triumphant, and he vividly interpreted the image of a villain who pretends to be a fox and a tiger.
"Sister Haitang, what should we do?"
The band members leaned towards her with some fear.
Lin Haitang frowned, but didn't look panicked.
She looked at the bar manager.
"Manager Lu, so if we don't drink this glass of wine, you will fire us?"
Manager Lu suddenly looked embarrassed and tried to persuade him.
"Singer Lin, it's just a drink, it's not a big deal, why not..."
"Having a glass of wine is not a big deal, but being forced to drink is a big deal. We do not accept such personal insults." Lin Haitang was categorical.
"In addition, we signed a performance agreement with you. According to the contract, you are obliged to protect our personal safety during the performance.
Now someone wants to forcibly restrict our personal freedom. If you condone and cover up, it will be regarded as a breach of contract.
We have the right to immediately terminate our cooperation with you, and you must also pay us liquidated damages in accordance with the agreement.
If our personal safety is compromised in a pub then we reserve the right to sue the pub."
Manager Lu was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect the lead singer of this band to be so tough, with no intention of compromising at all.
But Lin Haitang took out his cell phone again and looked at the lip-stud gangsters.
“According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, anyone who molests women in public shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and shall also be fined.
If the crime is suspected of forcibly molesting women in public places, criminal liability will be pursued based on the circumstances of the crime. The most serious case may be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
If you continue to pester me, I will have no choice but to call the police."
However, Lin Haitang still overestimated the deterrent effect of legal provisions on criminals.
I don’t know if it’s the smell of alcohol, the confidence given by my boss, or the courage brought by the large number of people on my side.
Seeing Lin Haitang picking up the phone and really preparing to call the police, the lip-stud gangster suddenly turned grim and stretched out his hand...
"Pah!" the phone responded and was shot away.
Lin Haitang looked surprised.
Facts have proved that when a scholar meets a soldier, reasoning often does not work.
"Hmph! It's true that if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!
Seeing how pretty you are, our brother Dazhi likes you. There are hundreds of people in the audience, so we gave you this opportunity. Don't be ignorant... and narrow your own path!
Come here for me!"
The lip-studded gangster reached out to grab Lin Haitang's wrist, and actually wanted to pull her away by force.
He smiled evilly. He had had some thoughts when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him two days ago. Today, relying on the power of his boss, he naturally didn't want to let her go.
Isn't the ideal of a gangster to be ignorant all day long and still lead a bunch of thugs on the street to molest good women?
He feels that today must be the pinnacle of his life!
However……
"Stop! Let that girl go!"
"Snapped!"
Before his sinful hand could touch the beautiful woman, it was grabbed by another hand, and then he felt his wrist being twisted by someone's backhand, and there was a sudden sharp pain.
"Ah! Let go, let go quickly!"
The lip-studded gangster let out a scream, and then his butt hurt, and he was kicked out. Fortunately, a few companions supported him, otherwise he would have to use at least a flat-sand-falling goose move.
"Who? Who dares to hit me?"
The lip-studded gangster turned around angrily and was stunned because the one who did it was actually a beautiful woman.
"Ha! You just said, who made the road narrow? You said it in a bad tone, like a bear?"
Yan Weiwei crossed her arms and sneered.
Behind her, there were two Hengha generals standing. This scene almost lacked the BGM of a hero saving the beauty...
"Haitang, are you okay? I wasn't late, right?"
One second she was still showing off, and the next second Yan Weiwei had already grabbed Lin Haitang's hand and asked her.
The corners of Meng Lang's mouth twitched slightly.
"If you didn't have to wait until the critical moment to appear, it would never be too late. Look, the screen of your phone is broken..."
Lin Haitang: "..."
"you shut up!"
Yan Weiwei, who was exposed, glared at Meng Lang angrily.
Fan Shigang smiled naively at the side.
"Who the hell are you? You dare to meddle in my business, I'm so impatient!"
Lip Nail rubbed his aching wrist, feeling a little annoyed.
Being kicked by a woman in public, where does this put his face?
Seeing that he encountered a blind person who dared to meddle in other people's business, Hu Dazhi frowned and immediately came over with the remaining minions.
A large group of people immediately surrounded Yan Weiwei.
When people around him saw this posture, they quickly ran away.
The commotion caused here also attracted the attention of most of the bars...
…
On a bar in the distance, Lin Xiaoling looked excitedly at the gathering crowd.
"Little Heron, little Heron, I didn't expect that when I came to a bar for the first time, I would encounter a gang fight!
It’s like acting in a TV series! It’s so cool!”
Ou Lu looked helpless.
"So I said don't come to a place like this. Let's leave quickly... and call the police by the way."
"Don't bother me! Look again, look again, by the way...why do I feel that the beautiful woman in red costume looks familiar?"
Ou Lu looked at it and didn't think Lin Haitang looked familiar.
But the back of a man next to her...seems a little familiar?
…
On the other side, the two Biao brothers, who had been paying attention to Hu Dazhi and his party, naturally saw this scene.
"That... seems to be Brother Meng, right?"
"Hey! It's true! Why is the master here too?"
"Brother Meng seems to be in trouble."
"It's Hu Dazhi again... This guy is not done yet, and his ghost is still there! Let's go! Copy him!"
"Ah? But can we do it?"
"Nonsense! Hu Dazhi did not find trouble with us, but instead found trouble with the master. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Ah Xing didn't know why.
"You're stupid! Who in the TV series leaks secrets and doesn't deserve to be punished by God?
Master, you have clearly blocked the disaster for us!
Can we just sit back and do nothing?"
Brother Biao's analysis was as fierce as a tiger's.
Not to mention, this specious "heavenly secret theory" is really close to the truth...
"Yes!" Ah Xing slapped his head!
The two looked at each other and immediately stood up and rushed into the crowd...
…
"Brother Dazhi! These guys don't even give you face, but they dare to attack!"
As soon as he saw Hu Dazhi bringing someone over, the lip-studded gangster immediately seemed to have found a backer.
The result is the next moment.
"Snapped!"
"Trash! You can't handle such a small thing!"
The lip-studded gangster covered his burning face. After a moment of shock, his face turned blue and white.
Hu Dazhi didn't pay attention to this guy at all, and glanced at everyone with his cold eyes.
When his eyes rested on Yan Weiwei and Lin Haitang, he couldn't help but show a hint of greed.
"Haha! Two beauties, my subordinate can't speak. I apologize on his behalf.
But...it depends on the owner to beat a dog. If you beat me, you have to give me an explanation, right?"
"You know it's your dog, but you let it out to bite people. Don't you know that 'walking a dog without a leash is the same as walking a dog'?"
Meng Lang is so sweaty!
He can now be sure that Yan Weiwei's mouth deserves more than half of the credit for the fight that broke out today!
"Weiwei!" Lin Haitang quickly grabbed Yan Weiwei, feeling that something was about to go wrong!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the faces of Hu Dazhi and the others turned dark immediately.
"You ungrateful animal!"
As soon as they heard what the boss said, a group of younger brothers immediately gathered around and geared up.
"Haitang, Meng Lang, you two, stand back!"
Yan Weiwei broke away from Lin Haitang and took two steps forward without fear.
Fan Shigang stood beside Yan Weiwei without hesitation, guarding the flanks, and his face was actually a little excited.
Meng Lang felt a little emotional as he looked at Yan Weiwei's "impressive" back in front of her, even though tens of thousands of people were there.
It has to be said that as the force in charge of the team, she is still very reliable at critical moments, especially when her "taunt" skill is maxed out...
I haven’t seen almost all the gangsters. Are they all targeting her...
[Master, the two friendly forces you marked are approaching and are expected to arrive on the battlefield in 3 seconds! 】
The voice coming from the wireless headset immediately made Meng Lang feel confident.
Amid everyone's stunned looks, he suddenly rushed out and opened his hands.
"Don't do it, don't do it. If you have anything to say, please talk to me!"
"Meng Lang, come back quickly!" Lin Haitang beside him stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was too late...
"Boy! It's too late to beg for mercy now!"
The leading gangster with the lipstick seemed to want to regain the face he had just stepped on repeatedly. He showed a fierce look and punched Meng Lang hard in the face!
The next moment, the world slowed down...
"ah!"
With a scream and a punch in the face, Meng Lang spun two and a half times on the spot. Fortunately, Yan Weiwei and Fan Shigang behind him immediately supported him, preventing him from throwing himself directly into the street.
"Meng Lang!" Lin Haitang exclaimed.
"The soul is weak!" Yan Weiwei flashed angrily.
Everyone present felt that the punch just now was really not light. After all, the person was beaten there for two and a half weeks...
But only the person involved had a nail on his lips and looked at his fist in astonishment.
Did I just... hit?
What about reaction force?
"retreat!"
Yan Weiwei and Fan Shigang were furious. Just as they were about to step forward, they suddenly heard such a word coming from their ears. Before they could react, they were pushed back hard by Meng Lang in their arms.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Some were in a daze and were pushed back several meters by Meng Lang. They did not stop until they were blocked by the booth behind them and had no way to retreat.
Seeing the gangsters continue to approach, some guys actually started to steal the chairs and bottles.
Meng Lang suddenly retracted his hand, passed between Yan Weiwei and Fan Shigang, and returned to Lin Haitang, who was stunned.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Meng Lang's words came to their ears, and Yan Weiwei and the two came back to their senses instantly.
Although I didn't know what this guy was up to, the two of them were obviously not "thinking" players, so they rushed directly towards the gangsters.
"Bang! Bang!" After two sounds, the two gangsters flew backwards, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
"How dare you fight back, go ahead!"
The gangsters were angry.
At the same time, two figures suddenly rushed out from the outside of the crowd...
"It's nothing to bully a small number, but I'll give you a punch! Bang! Ah!"
"Hundan, I won't trouble you, but you dare to come to my door? Brothers, fight me together!"
There were collisions and screams, mixed with Hu Dazhi's angry and angry curses, and the scene was in chaos.
Men and women running away in all directions, fists and flesh colliding, tables, chairs, benches and debris flying everywhere, wine bottles falling to the ground and splattering into bright red...
Meng Lang, who was behind the crowd, saw such a chaotic fighting scene reflected in his eyes.
The difference was that in his eyes, the scene was like a slow motion. Even when the fist hit the face, the distortion of the face in a short moment was clearly visible...
Entering the "brain overclocking" state for the second time.
This "God's perspective" feeling still made him feel amazing, even a little intoxicated.
It seems that nothing can escape your eyes...
Fan Shigang swept the hall's legs and instantly put the two gangsters into a "floating" state.
Ah Xing's straight punch made a gangster's face bloom.
Brother Biao's positioning is very bad, and he only picks the ones that Ah Xing has beaten before to perform last-minute hits, and he has a great time grabbing heads.
Yan Weiwei's long legs are like 0.2x speed in 0.1x slow motion. Her explosive power is so strong that there is no enemy wherever she goes.
Even in the distance, Hu Dazhi was "slowly" picking up the bottle of wine next to him, staring fiercely at Yan Weiwei, the most threatening person in the crowd.
Taking advantage of Yan Weiwei's opportunity to turn around and face the enemy, he slowly raised the bottle back, as if he was about to let go at the next moment...
And then the next moment...
"Bang!" A bottle of red wine exploded on his forehead instantly, and he fell down in response.
KO!
After shaking off the red wine on his hand, Meng Lang shrugged helplessly when he saw Lin Haitang looking at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Sometimes we use violence not because we give up reasoning, but just to reason with idiots..."
