Xu Lian had opened this store two years ago, and had met a variety of guests during this time. She had met all sorts of troublesome customers, so she remained calm when she saw this group of men. After the group came in they drove out the two young girls out of the store, and Xu Lian didn't try to stop them. These people obviously came for her, so she didn't want to involve any of the customers.

She looked at the four men in front of her and asked: "What are you doing?"

The man that led the group smiled at her: "You're Wei YiChen's girlfriend? Very pretty."

Xu Lian: "I'm not Wei YiChen's girlfriend."

The man continued to smile, clearly unconvinced: "Oh, don't even try to act dumb. Say, where's that bastard Wei YiChen hiding?"

"He's gone abroad."

"Gone abroad?" The man's eyebrows twitched, and he mocked: "Oh, that bastard hit my shop and beat up my people. Now that ass ran off abroad." No wonder they haven't found him, despite searching for two days.

He looked at Xu Lian again: "Since he's abroad, I guess his bills are on your head."

As soon as he said this, one of his men 'inadvertently' hit a candle on the display cabinet, making it crash to the ground. The candle was directly molded in a glass cup. While it didn't shatter when it fell, the resulting 'bang' caused the two girls who were lingering outside the store to startle.

Xu Lian looked at the group, went to the counter, picked up the phone, then dialed 110 directly.

"Hello, I'm in Starlight Park..."

She hadn't finished when the phone was suddenly disconnected. Xu Lian looked up and saw the arrogant man in front of her.

"What, you want to call the police?"

Xu Lian didn't bother answering. She put down the phone, then turned towards the second floor to grab her cellphone. The man seemed to have guessed her intentions, grabbing her hand and not letting go: "If you have the strength to call the police, might as well call Wei YiChen. Let him crawl back to this Master early! When he shows up, we won't bother your store anymore."

A crowd had started to gather outside the store. Xiang ChangKong had just parked his scooter when he saw this. He approached the crowd and asked: "What happened?"

A girl with long hair turned back to say: "There's something going on in the shop."

As if to confirm her words, the sound of broken glass could suddenly be heard, causing the crowd outside to gasp.

"Has someone called the police?" Xiang ChangKong's voice became urgent. The girl who answered him seemed to have been affected by his tone and nodded quickly.

"Here's the number for the security in Starlight Park. Call this number." After giving her his phone, Xiang ChangKong quickly rushed inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Lian being viciously pulled. Without thinking, he ran to Xu Lian and grabbed the man's wrist. He forced the hand away, then pulled Xu Lian behind him. Unlike Wei YiChen, he had no experience in fighting, but since he was tall, he had been forced to join the basketball team during his school days. He had the physical fitness for it if things devolve into a fight.

Just now, because he had only been thinking of Xu Lian, he hadn't been paying attention to his strength. The man he pulled off rubbed his wrists, his face wrinkled: "Delivery boy, what are you doing? Actually trying to be a hero and save the beauty?"

The man's voice was loud, as if he was trying to be heard from across the street. His brothers behind him didn't bother with Xiang ChangKong, instead asking their leader: "Older brother, what's wrong?"
