Chapter 741: Chapter 759 This Also Counts as Much
A group of street toughs approached within a meter of Lin Xi’s 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 didn’t want to see the three girls and Lin Xi get hurt.
After all, it’s 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 Ziqi’s 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!
"What’s going on?"
Besides Lin Xi, even Luo Susu could not understand it!
Moreover, they stood in place ’excitedly,’ not daring to move an inch, and that’s when they noticed that the men’s 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 shouldn’t 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 Xi’s piano skills were superb, and he was very capable of fighting, so much so that even the two big shots at school weren’t a match for him.
But she had never considered Lin Xi’s 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 doesn’t 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 hadn’t visited the Dark Night Sect, Xu Hong and Wenhai recruited a batch of people like this?
But thinking about it, it shouldn’t be possible; knowing Xu Hong and Wenhai, they wouldn’t 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 what’s up with you guys calling me ’boss’?
Isn’t this clearly showing people that I am the head of some street toughs?
And besides, don’t just randomly call any woman with me ’ladies’!
At this moment, Lin Xi no longer maintained his calm but instead asked with a stern face, "I’m not your boss, so don’t go around calling me that!"
One of the young men with yellow hair shook his head immediately, "Boss, maybe you don’t 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, it’s because we’re from the XXX gang, and we’re 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 that’s why we recognized you!"
"..."
Lin Xi’s face darkened even more; now he didn’t even have a chance to argue.
At this point, he could only snort coldly, "Hurry up and leave, the person you’re talking about isn’t me at all!"
Yes, making one last stand.
But he looked at the three women, whose expressions clearly showed they didn’t 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 didn’t want to reveal his identity at this moment.
Actually, it was obvious; as the leader of an underground force, it’s natural not to let others know his identity when he’s 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 won’t 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 Xi’s 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 couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, as if they had just returned from the brink of death.
Lin Xi, regaining his composure, couldn’t help but shake his head at the three women, "Nowadays, these street toughs love to call everyone ’boss’ for no reason, I wonder what’s 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 you’re the head of some underground syndicate?"
"I’m 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, you’re already the boss of the entire South City in Chuzhou City!"
"I’m not!" Lin Xi massaged his temples.
At this moment, Dili Bare grabbed Xie Ziqi’s hand and said again, "For the few days we’re in Chuzhou City, you have to look out for us!"
Lin Xi, "....."
Now he finally confirmed one thing, Dili Bare didn’t 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 wasn’t like some bigshot.
"If you don’t take care of us, it’ll be trouble for you!" Dili Bare was ready to threaten Lin Xi a bit more when the boss’s 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 didn’t pay much attention to the boss’s 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, there’s still half of it that hasn’t 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 boss’s wife carefully placed the tray on their table and immediately left the place.
The three women didn’t pay much attention to the boss’s wife, yet Lin Xi noticed it and couldn’t help but shake his head at them, "Nowadays, this group of street toughs really have a habit of randomly calling people ’boss,’ 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, "Aren’t you really the head of some shady crew like they said?"
"No, I’m not!" Lin Xi shook his head decisively.
Dili Bare pretended not to hear and continued, "Can’t tell, you’re already the boss of the entire South City in Chuzhou City at such a young age!"
"I’m not!" Lin Xi shook his temple gently with a hand.
Dili Bare, holding Xie Ziqi’s hand, said again, "While we’re in Chuzhou City these few days, you better look out for us!"
Lin Xi, "....."
Now he realized for sure: Dili Bare didn’t 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 don’t take care of me, I’ll make you pay for it!!!" Dili Bare was about to threaten Lin Xi further when the boss’s wife came by, not as leisurely as when she first arrived when she carefully placed a tray on the four people’s 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, there’s still a whole half that hasn’t been served yet!"
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three women became quite extraordinary.
