Chapter 741: Chapter 759 This Also Counts as Much
A group of street toughs approached within a meter of Lin Xiâs table of four within seconds and stopped.
At this moment, even though Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi could remain calm facing the intrigue of the entertainment industry, they had no means of dealing with such straightforward confrontation.
After all, they were just vulnerable women.
The owner and his wife of the BBQ restaurant hesitated about stepping forward to intervene. Although it might not be useful, they didnât want to see the three girls and Lin Xi get hurt.
After all, itâs their place.
Two students who were walking away glanced back and saw the scene, their faces full of increased fear as they hurriedly picked up their pace heading back towards the school.
Dili Bare was anxious inside because her phone was on silent, so she had no idea if the call she had just made to the police had gone through.
Or perhaps, if the call connected but there was no sound, had they hung up?
It was really down to luck!
Xie Ziqiâs face also showed fear at this time, her head slightly lowered, not daring to face the group of street toughs directly.
Just when they thought the street toughs, who had stopped, were about to start teasing them, they suddenly saw them bow to Lin Xi and shout,
"Boss, good evening!"
Then, after straightening up, they bowed again and shouted, "Good evening, ladies!"
The owner and his wife who were about to approach suddenly stopped in their tracks!
"Whatâs going on?"
Besides Lin Xi, even Luo Susu could not understand it!
Moreover, they stood in place âexcitedly,â not daring to move an inch, and thatâs when they noticed that the menâs excitement was a form of fear!
Luo Susu, Dili Bare, who had gathered her courage and slightly raised her head, and Xie Ziqi all looked almost simultaneously behind Lin Xi, thinking there might be someone there!
But, as they looked, there was no one!
"Who did they just call boss?"
The three women were confused at this moment, but suddenly recalled that from the beginning until now, Lin Xi had been consistently calm.
Not a hint of nervousness or fear!
Logically, this shouldnât be!
If they were ordinary people, with three big beauties and suddenly seeing a group of street toughs appear, their expressions would surely change.
So does this mean that this group of street toughs was calling Lin Xi their boss?
Even Luo Susu, who knew quite a lot about Lin Xi, was taken aback.
She only knew that Lin Xiâs piano skills were superb, and he was very capable of fighting, so much so that even the two big shots at school werenât a match for him.
But she had never considered Lin Xiâs true identity!
Actually, when this group of street toughs stood up excitedly and then suddenly changed their demeanour, quickly walking over and expressing those words, even Lin Xi was bewildered.
He had thought this group would tease the three girls or plan to do something outrageous. At that moment, he would step forward to stop them!
And rescue them from the hands of these street toughs.
Although the routine is a bit old, it is still very practical when it comes down to it!
Undoubtedly, at that time, their admiration for him would significantly increase!
But now, what the heck is going on?
He doesnât remember his Dark Night Sect having such a group of people who look exactly like street toughs!
Could it possibly be that, in the time he hadnât visited the Dark Night Sect, Xu Hong and Wenhai recruited a batch of people like this?
But thinking about it, it shouldnât be possible; knowing Xu Hong and Wenhai, they wouldnât recruit someone with such low calibre.
Then who on earth is it?
Lin Xi was furious at this moment; this completely ruined his hero-saving-beauty act!
And whatâs up with you guys calling me âbossâ?
Isnât this clearly showing people that I am the head of some street toughs?
And besides, donât just randomly call any woman with me âladiesâ!
At this moment, Lin Xi no longer maintained his calm but instead asked with a stern face, "Iâm not your boss, so donât go around calling me that!"
One of the young men with yellow hair shook his head immediately, "Boss, maybe you donât know us, but we definitely know you!"
"You are now the sole leader governing the entire underground forces of South City. Your great name has long reached our ears!"
"As for recognizing you, itâs because weâre from the XXX gang, and weâre the first underground force to submit to the Dark Night Sect!"
"That day at the Speed Bar, we had the opportunity to see you in person, so thatâs why we recognized you!"
"..."
Lin Xiâs face darkened even more; now he didnât even have a chance to argue.
At this point, he could only snort coldly, "Hurry up and leave, the person youâre talking about isnât me at all!"
Yes, making one last stand.
But he looked at the three women, whose expressions clearly showed they didnât believe what he said.
When the young man with yellow hair wanted to explain further, he was quickly pulled back by a young man with red hair from behind. This young man and the other street toughs realized Lin Xi didnât want to reveal his identity at this moment.
Actually, it was obvious; as the leader of an underground force, itâs natural not to let others know his identity when heâs with girls; otherwise, most girls would probably be scared.
The redhead pulled the yellow-haired young man and the others, bowing to Lin Xi again to bid farewell, "In that case, we wonât disturb the boss and the ladies any longer!"
After speaking, they immediately retreated!
They even left the BBQ restaurant immediately!
After all, they had always heard of Lin Xiâs fierce reputation, a man capable of crippling three members of the Celestial Alliance!
Even their top boss would bow his head when meeting Lin Xi, not daring to say a word lightly.
Therefore, for them, he is someone to avoid as much as possible, especially since they just considered doing something else!
Thinking of this, they couldnât help but break into a cold sweat, as if they had just returned from the brink of death.
Lin Xi, regaining his composure, couldnât help but shake his head at the three women, "Nowadays, these street toughs love to call everyone âbossâ for no reason, I wonder whatâs missing in their brains!"
Hearing this, Luo Susu had a face full of doubt, not believing a word Lin Xi said.
Xie Ziqi gave Lin Xi a few more glances, her eyes filled with caution and distance, unlike her casual demeanour earlier!
However, Dili Bare, seeming carefree and clueless, looked at Lin Xi with surprised eyes and curiously asked, "Is it true what they said, that youâre the head of some underground syndicate?"
"Iâm not!" Lin Xi shook his head unhesitatingly.
Dili Bare seemed not to hear and continued to ask, "Never would have thought, at such a young age, youâre already the boss of the entire South City in Chuzhou City!"
"Iâm not!" Lin Xi massaged his temples.
At this moment, Dili Bare grabbed Xie Ziqiâs hand and said again, "For the few days weâre in Chuzhou City, you have to look out for us!"
Lin Xi, "....."
Now he finally confirmed one thing, Dili Bare didnât listen to him at all.
Moreover, with her interjection, the previously somewhat awkward atmosphere among the four lightened up a lot, and even Xie Ziqi, who had grown cautious and distant, suddenly felt Lin Xi wasnât like some bigshot.
"If you donât take care of us, itâll be trouble for you!" Dili Bare was ready to threaten Lin Xi a bit more when the bossâs wife, not as relaxed as when she first saw them, walked over with a respect-laced expression, carrying a tray and saying,
"The thirty skewers of lamb, ten skewers of chicken gizzards, three skewers of lamb kidneys, five skewers of leeks, and five skewers of enoki mushrooms are ready..."
She carefully placed the tray on the table of four and then immediately left.
The three women didnât pay much attention to the bossâs wife, but Lin Xi noticed the change in her attitude, indicating that his previous explanations were not believed at all!
Useless, totally useless~
Dili Bare was the first to pick up a lamb skewer and asked, full of doubt, "Why did you order so much? Can we finish it?"
Luo Susu picked up a skewer of enoki mushrooms, and Xie Ziqi grabbed a skewer of green beans, and they all started eating, waiting to see how Lin Xi would respond.
After all, the amount was enough to fill the whole table, probably sufficient for seven or eight people!
And they were just three girls, and combined, their appetites might not match that of one hungry guy.
Lin Xi directly picked up a lamb kidney, took a big bite, and surprisingly said, "This is considered a lot?"
"You should know, thereâs still half of it that hasnât been served yet!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three women became quite spectacular!
PS: Thirty skewers of lamb, ten skewers of chicken gizzards, three skewers of lamb kidneys, five skewers of chives, and five skewers of enoki mushrooms are ready...
The bossâs wife carefully placed the tray on their table and immediately left the place.
The three women didnât pay much attention to the bossâs wife, yet Lin Xi noticed it and couldnât help but shake his head at them, "Nowadays, this group of street toughs really have a habit of randomly calling people âboss,â I wonder which wire is missing in their brains!"
Listening to this made Luo Susu suspicious, plainly not believing a word Lin Xi said.
On the other hand, Xie Ziqi stole a few glances at Lin Xi, her eyes containing a trace of caution and distance now, unlike how casually she spoke earlier!
As for the seemingly carefree Dili Bare, she looked at Lin Xi with curiosity and asked, "Arenât you really the head of some shady crew like they said?"
"No, Iâm not!" Lin Xi shook his head decisively.
Dili Bare pretended not to hear and continued, "Canât tell, youâre already the boss of the entire South City in Chuzhou City at such a young age!"
"Iâm not!" Lin Xi shook his temple gently with a hand.
Dili Bare, holding Xie Ziqiâs hand, said again, "While weâre in Chuzhou City these few days, you better look out for us!"
Lin Xi, "....."
Now he realized for sure: Dili Bare didnât listen to him at all.
In addition, with her interruption, the previously somewhat stifling atmosphere among the four immediately improved a lot. Even Xie Ziqi was starting to think Lin Xi might not be such a big shot after all.
"If you donât take care of me, Iâll make you pay for it!!!" Dili Bare was about to threaten Lin Xi further when the bossâs wife came by, not as leisurely as when she first arrived when she carefully placed a tray on the four peopleâs table and then left the place immediately, saying,
"Thirty lamb skewers are ready, ten chicken gizzards, three lamb kidneys, ten skewers of green onion, three skewers of enoki mushrooms....."
Despite being as surprised as they were, Dili Bare was eager to grab a skewer of lamb and asked Lin Xi with a look of doubt, "Did you really order this much, can we really finish it all?"
Luo Susu grabbed a skewer of enoki mushrooms, and Xie Ziqi grabbed a skewer of green beans, and they all started to eat, wondering how Lin Xi would respond?
Lin Xi directly took a large bite of lamb kidney and said surprisedly, "You call this a lot?"
"You know, thereâs still a whole half that hasnât been served yet!"
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three women became quite extraordinary.
