The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Lu Tao and Xia Lin saw Wang Gang walking over with a glass of beer, they assumed he was there to say hello and make peace, so they didn't take it seriously.

Lu Tao even secretly planned to deliberately put on a show of defiance to embarrass Wang Gang.

Unexpectedly, Wang Gang approached without a word and splashed a glass of beer on Lu Tao's face.

Wang Gang struck hard, the force of the liquor was strong, and he slapped Lu Tao hard across the face. Anyone who didn't know the situation would have thought he had been slapped.

Xia Lin and Fang Lingshan were completely dumbfounded, watching helplessly as Lu Tao became soaked to the bone, and they didn't know what to do.

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment. The cold beer went down his neck and into his chest, like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting a raging fire.

"What are you doing?!" Xiang Nan was also stunned at this point.

Lu Tao jumped up and, without saying a word, tried to throw a punch at Wang Gang.

The next moment, Lu Tao landed even faster, his face slamming hard against the table. Wang Gang grabbed the back of his neck with one large hand and wouldn't let go.

Xia Lin and Fang Lingshan were terrified and instinctively took two steps back.

"Gao Qiang!?" Xiang Nan exclaimed and rushed forward to try to pull Wang Gang away.

Wang Gang shoved Xiang Nan aside, pinning Lu Tao down firmly, and said disdainfully, "Lu Tao, do you know why I hit you today?"

Lu Tao's face was half pressed against the table, his face turning red and his neck bulging. He wanted to resist, but he underestimated the difference in strength between himself and Wang Gang. He struggled for a long time, but it was useless. Instead, his face hurt even more!
"Gao Qiang, I'll f*** you, let me go if you dare!" Lu Tao could only utter harsh words at this point.

Wang Gang disdainfully released his grip and said, "What can you do about it if I let go!"

Lu Tao, suddenly freed, immediately straightened up, intending to ambush Wang Gang.

A second later, Lu Tao was slammed onto the table again, this time on his right cheek!
"Gao Qiang, don't be like this, let's talk this out." Xia Lin finally remembered to try and mediate.

"Shut up, don't force me to hit a woman." Wang Gang shouted angrily, and Xia Lin shrank back in fear.

Everyone was intimidated by Wang Gang's imposing manner.

Fang Lingshan took out her phone and said tremblingly, "Release Brother Lu Tao right now, or I'll call the police."

Wang Gang glanced at Fang Lingshan, not having time to scare the little girl, and whispered in Lu Tao's ear:
"Lu Tao, today is just a lesson. If you dare to spew filth and slander me and Mi Lai again, it won't be so simple next time."

Wang Gang released Lu Tao and looked coldly at Xia Lin, saying, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Lu Tao regained his freedom and no longer dared to throw punches at Wang Gang. He could only protect Xia Lin and Fang Lingshan.

"What kind of skill is it to scare women? If you have the guts, come at me." Lu Tao's cheeks were flushed, but he still refused to admit defeat.

Wang Gang took a step forward, and Lu Tao suddenly covered his head and hid behind Xia Lin in fright, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

Seeing Lu Tao's pathetic state, Wang Gang sneered disdainfully, "Lu Tao, look at you, I'm afraid to even hit you because I'd get my hands dirty."

At this moment, the bar staff gathered around and asked Wang Gang, "Brother Qiang, what happened?"

Everything happened too fast. From Wang Gang splashing wine to Lu Tao being beaten, it took less than a few dozen seconds. By the time everyone reacted, Lu Tao had already backed down and hid behind the woman.

Wang Gang said to the waiter, "Make sure you see what this person looks like. Next time he comes to the bar, kick him out."

"Brother Qiang," the waiter said with difficulty, "I can't make that decision."

"I'll talk to Sister Manny, but I don't want to see him in the bar." Wang Gang sneered, "I'll beat him up every time I see him!"

Xia Lin said urgently, "Gao Qiang, are you a thug? Do you think there's no law in the capital? Believe me, I'll call the police!"

Wang Gang said coldly, "You two, you did something to betray Mi Lai, and then you turn around and accuse Mi Lai and me of cheating. How dare you!" Xia Lin said angrily, "But I clearly saw you and Mi Lai shopping at the supermarket on a date this afternoon."

Wang Gang scoffed, "Does going to the supermarket mean you're dating? There were so many women in the supermarket, were I dating them all? You were in the supermarket too, were you dating me?"

Charlene was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Lu Tao covered his face and hid behind Xia Lin, saying, "If you weren't feeling guilty, why did you hit me?"

Wang Gang coldly said, "I hit you because you distorted the truth and slandered me and Mi Lai."

You cheated on your girlfriend, did something shameful, and then turned around and accused her of infidelity. You shameless person, I want to beat you every time I see you.

The people in the bar who were initially watching the commotion and thought Wang Gang was wrong to hit someone changed their attitude towards Lu Tao and Xia Lin after hearing what he said. Their gazes turned contemptuous and tinged with disdain.

Lu Tao felt the stares around him, his face burning with pain. He whispered to Xia Lin, "Let's go! There are too many people on his side."

Xia Lin also felt like leaving, but Fang Lingshan didn't want to go. She even took out her phone and said, "Why should we leave? He hit someone. We can call the police!"

Upon hearing the alarm, Xiang Nan rushed over and pressed his phone.

"Don't call the police. Lu Tao wasn't seriously injured. Even if it gets to the police station, the police will mainly focus on educating him. Why make a big fuss?"

At this point, Xiang Nan still wanted to settle things peacefully.

Wang Gang didn't care; he wasn't afraid of calling the police. Lu Tao's face was the only part of his body that was red and swollen, and there was no way to get a medical examination for such injuries.

"Let's go." Lu Tao pulled Fang Lingshan's hand, really not wanting to stay and make a fool of himself; he had already lost face enough today.

Fang Lingshan was pulled away by Lu Tao and Xia Lin. Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment and did not follow, but chose to stay behind.

"Gao Qiang, even if you were slandered and wronged, you shouldn't have hit Lu Tao." Xiang Nan still wanted to speak up for Lu Tao and try to ease the conflict.

Wang Gang patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder, then turned to the waiter and said, "Explain to the other guests that we've disturbed their enjoyment. This round of drinks is on me; put it on my tab."

"Okay, bro." The waiter quickly went to reassure the customer.

Wang Gang pulled Xiang Nan back to their original seats, and Chunxiao brought them two glasses of beer.

"I didn't expect you to have such a fiery temper," Chunxiao said, putting down her drink.

"I didn't want to hit anyone either," Wang Gang said, feigning innocence. "It's just that Lu Tao and Xia Lin are becoming more and more shameless. They did something shameful themselves, but then they framed me and Mi Lai. They're really despicable."

Xiang Nan said urgently, "It was just a misunderstanding, why did you have to take action? Now we're completely finished as brothers."

Wang Gang curled his lip and said, "I never bothered to be brothers with him in the first place. I thought we should just part ways and be done with it. Who knew he would mess with me like this? I really don't know what Mi Lai and Xia Lin like about him?"

"You'd better keep quiet," Xiang Nan said speechlessly. "If Lu Tao really calls the police, you'll be in big trouble too."

Wang Gang looked at Xiang Nan and asked in return, "What trouble could I possibly have? Even if I cripple him, the most I'll get is two years in jail."

Xiang Nan said angrily, "If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your uncles and aunts! If you go in, they'll be worried sick."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Xiang Nan, you're a good friend. You're still thinking of me at a time like this. I thought you would help Lu Tao!"

Xiang Nan sighed, "Lu Tao was indeed in the wrong this time, but you were also too impulsive."

Wang Gang smiled, not caring. (End of Chapter)
