Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 498: One Punch

The three middle-aged men had sharp eyes.They immediately spotted Wang Qingzhao and Zhang Xue at Jiang Ran's table.

They stumbled over, swaying left and right, clearly drunk.

The leader kept letting out foul-smelling beer burps.

His right hand reached out to rest on Zhang Xue's shoulder, attempting to flirt.

But Zhang Xue, having noticed them early, stood up and dodged.

She hid behind her boyfriend Gao Yang, fearfully clutching the back of his shirt.

Gao Yang stood up at that moment. His tall frame offered a strong sense of security.

After all, he was about 185 cm tall, towering over the leading middle-aged man by a good head.

"Stay away from my girlfriend."

Gao Yang tried to intimidate the leading middle-aged man with his height.

But although he was tall, he was the slender type.

The leading middle-aged man, however, was built like a bear with a tiger's back.

Therefore, this bit of threat was just child's play in the leader's eyes.

He shoved Gao Yang aside and said, "Kid, scram! Let this little lady have a drink with me! I've never seen such a pretty little lady before!"

With that.

His rough, large hand reached for Zhang Xue.

Seeing this, Gao Yang shouted, "Hey! Keep this up, and I'll call the police!"

Unexpectedly, the leading middle-aged man acted as if he hadn't heard at all and continued reaching out.

Gao Yang watched as the man was about to touch his girlfriend.

This humanities master's degree holder couldn't hold back anymore.

He stepped forward and gave the leading middle-aged man a hard shove.

The leader staggered.

Then, he scoffed, "So you threw the first punch?!"

With that, the leading middle-aged man also gave Gao Yang a hard shove.

Gao Yang was shoved directly to the ground, his butt hurting terribly.

Seeing Gao Yang like this, the leader snorted coldly, "Brat whose feathers haven't even grown in yet."

Then, he continued casting a greedy glance at Zhang Xue.

Zhang Xue retreated until her back was against the far wall, with nowhere left to go.

Zhao Yiwan nudged her boyfriend Qin Chuan, signaling him to step up and help Gao Yang.

She herself started dialing the police.

But it would definitely take some time for the police to arrive, and they had to hold out until then.

"Alright, little lady, come have a drink with your big brother."

The leading middle-aged man squeezed a triumphant smile onto his fierce face.

At that moment, Qin Chuan, who was nearby, tightly gripped an empty beer bottle in his right hand and blocked the way in front of Zhang Xue.

He threatened the leading middle-aged man, warning him that if he dared harass them again, he shouldn't blame him for not holding back.

The leading middle-aged man glanced over and noticed Qin Chuan's legs were trembling, especially the hand holding the beer bottle, which was shaking quite noticeably.

He sneered and, in front of everyone, snatched the beer bottle right out of Qin Chuan's hand.

Qin Chuan immediately stepped back, his face instantly turning pale.

He thought the leading middle-aged man would smash the beer bottle over his head next.

But what no one expected happened.

The leading middle-aged man actually smashed the beer bottle against his own head.

With a smash, the beer bottle shattered.

Yet, the leading middle-aged man's head showed no significant injury.

"Hahaha, kids are just kids. Young people these days have studied themselves stupid. Holding a beer bottle, your hand is shaking. Who can you scare with that?"

"Let me tell you! When I was your age, I fought from one end of the street to the other! Someone slashed my back with a machete, and I didn't make a single sound! Making a sound wouldn't make me a real man!!!"

The leading middle-aged man gave a vicious smile.

His act of self-harm just now was even more terrifying than hitting someone else.

It was more likely to instill fear in others.

At least Qin Chuan was truly scared out of his wits.

Originally, if his girlfriend Zhao Yiwan hadn't urged him to step up, he would have just lurked on the sidelines.

Now, well, he stepped up and exposed his cowardice.

"Alright, little lady, have a drink with me."

"I don't get it. Why don't you young girls nowadays like a real man like me, but instead like these pretty boys who are all looks and no substance?"

The evil large hand continued reaching for Zhang Xue. Zhang Xue screamed helplessly, pleading for help from the other customers on the restaurant's first floor.

But the customers at other tables watched coldly from the side. No one stepped forward to help. A few had considered it, but they were all scared off by the earlier act of smashing the beer bottle on the head.

Of course, some definitely raised their phones to record the scene.

The restaurant owner did come up to try and mediate, but he was fiercely told off and told to get lost.

The restaurant owner seemed to know these three were troublemakers in their youth, not easy to deal with, real tough customers. So, after his mediation failed, he could only give up and wait for the police.

Qin Chuan was scared out of his wits anyway, hiding to the side, not daring to step forward.

And watching his girlfriend about to be dragged away.

Gao Yang, who had fallen earlier, wore an angry expression but took no further action, as if he had given up.

Zhao Yiwan wanted to rush forward and block Zhang Xue, but her boyfriend Qin Chuan held her back tightly.

Plus, Zhao Yiwan was also a bit scared, so Qin Chuan's restraint effectively crushed her courage.

Wang Qingzhao watched from the side. She looked somewhat anxious, but she was just a weak woman. In a real fight, she couldn't even beat Gao Yang or Qin Chuan, let alone that bear-backed, tiger-waisted leading middle-aged man.

As for Jiang Ran, the three bandages on his body proved he was an injured person.

Even if he just stood by and didn't intervene, no one could blame him.

However, he still glanced in that direction.

Boring. Not interesting at all.

I originally wanted to see if Gao Yang would continue to stand up and protect his girlfriend, then get beaten up. Didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly, so good at assessing the situation.

He just turned into a turtle hiding in its shell.

"Forget it. I did eat a free meal from you, a beauty. Might as well help you out."

Just as the leading middle-aged man was about to touch the right arm of Zhang Xue, who was screaming in fear and curled up on the ground, the chopsticks in his hand were suddenly thrown.

After being thrown, they hit the leading middle-aged man squarely.

Hit by this, the leader was momentarily stunned.

The chopsticks didn't really hurt him, but...

"Were you the one who threw those chopsticks just now?"

The leading middle-aged man shot an unfriendly glance at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran stared at him, squinting with a smile, "What do you think?"

The leader raised an eyebrow, "You think you're tough, huh? What? Trying to be the hero saving the beauty?"

"Your two male friends here are already acting like turtles. Is it your turn now?"

Jiang Ran didn't make a sound, just called out to the System in his mind, consuming ten thousand points to restore his body to its previous life's state.

Once his body was restored to how it was in his previous life.

In everyone's view, an utterly incredible scene unfolded.

Jiang Ran, who had been sitting perfectly fine on his chair one second, suddenly erupted into action the next.

From the chair, he made a leap, landing right in front of the leading middle-aged man.

In the next second, his fist slammed hard into the leading middle-aged man's face.

With just one punch, the leading middle-aged man was sent flying backward.

He fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then... lost consciousness.
