"..."
As the clothes on her body were gradually soaked by the hot pot soup, her skin felt moist and warm, and Tang Jin's whole body became numb.
I was so numb that all the blood in my body disappeared, and my hands and feet were cold.
A pair of hollow and dark eyes looked quietly at the table of aggressive guests in front of him - a woman in her forties or fifties with two sons, one older and one younger.
The woman is about forty or fifty years old, with thin hair, high cheekbones, and triangular eyes. She looks fierce and mean.
In this "crusade" against Tang hibiscus, she was the main force,
At this time, she was holding a large amount of paper, randomly wiping off a small piece of oil stain on her clothes, while pointing at Tang Jin's nose and cursing:
"How did you become a waiter!? You were working in a hot pot restaurant and you couldn't carry the hot pot pot? You knocked over such a big pot and almost spilled it on us! How dangerous is it? Why didn't you just go to it? It was splashed on my face..."
"..."
Tang Jin really wanted to explain that it was not a simple pot... Because none of the family could eat spicy food, they ordered a mandarin duck pot with half clear soup and half tomatoes. It was a hot pot soup base that weighed dozens of kilograms. , it’s not easy even for adults to hold it...
But she opened her mouth but did not explain.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Tang Jin looked away slightly and looked at the slightly older boy opposite the woman.
The boy looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, either a college student or a high school student.
He looks ordinary, wears glasses, and has a bookish look on his face.
At this moment, he was sitting there with an embarrassed look on his face, occasionally looking at Tang Hibiscus and the mess on the ground;
Sometimes I look at my mother who is doing crazy things, and then I look at the people around me who are looking at me.
It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
It's like "paddling" like crazy.
So Tang Jin gave up her expectations for him and looked at the little boy again.
This little guy is extraordinary...
The boy was about seven or eight years old, with a tiger-like head and a big head. He was standing on a chair with his hands on his hips. He was imitating the mother beside him and was giving childish and unreasonable comments——
"...That's right! You are such an adult and you don't look at me. What should I do if you hurt me? My mother's clothes are also stained..."
You can vaguely hear the proud tone in his voice,
He should feel proud that he helped his mother.
But Tang Jin is a little strange,
Isn't it because of him?
If he didn't come to cause trouble, why would I avoid him for fear of hurting him?
If I didn't avoid it, how could I knock all the hot pot over to the ground?
And this woman...why not educate her children, but instead educate herself?
"..."
Time rarely becomes extremely slow.
Tang Jin felt that the noise around him began to fade away.
Unconsciously, she found that she could only see the mouth of the woman in front of her opening and closing, but could not hear her voice.
The surrounding sounds became quieter and quieter, and gradually she could only hear her own breathing.
This gave her an absurd, otherworldly feeling.
...At the same time, from the corner of her eye, she saw some guests and unfamiliar colleagues starting to approach one after another.
She felt her body getting colder and colder.
"..."
what can we do about it……
Tang Jinnum thought.
In fact, she wanted to end this farce quickly, but she didn't know what else she could do.
She said she was sorry many times, but it was of no use, so she simply stopped saying it.
She didn't want to make her already cheap apology even cheaper.
The simplest and fastest way is to compensate.
But she has no money...
By the way, where's the boss?
Tang Jin couldn't help but look around.
At this moment, she actually hoped that her boss would come over and criticize her and then fire her...
"..."
or……
Oh, there’s no chance, let’s just do it…
Tang Jin sighed softly and looked down at the upside-down hot pot pot on the ground and the soup all over the floor.
pity,
It would have been nice if the pot had not been pointed towards me when I was dodging just now. It would have been troublesome and uncomfortable to spill it all over, and I had to wash it off. It was such a waste of time... It would have been nice if it had really spilled on this family... Maybe it would still happen. Can be arrested by the police...
That way, you can stay away from everyone...
However, just as she was thinking this.
"Please give way."
A familiar and plain voice suddenly pierced her ears.
Tang Jin was stunned for two seconds before looking over and found that it was the boy who was very popular in school recently, whom he misunderstood as his benefactor, and who took the initiative to delete him.
And what I just heard from their table seems to be that his name is... Zhou Qi?
And he said... give in?
Tang Jin looked around with his neck a little stiff, and suddenly realized that he and the cart in his hand were all lying in the middle of the road, making it impossible for people on both sides to pass.
For a moment, she felt her face heat up rapidly, and so did her body.
My originally cold palms started to sweat...
In my heart, I couldn't care less about the grievance and discomfort caused by being scolded just now, only embarrassment remained.
then,
Instinct drove her to make way for Zhou Qi.
"..."
On the other side, Zhou Qi stood there,
His eyes scanned the faces of the family one by one.
At this moment, the woman calmed down for a while,
There was less aggression on his face, and he looked at Zhou Qi impatiently and suspiciously.
The little boy's face was also full of hostility,
Zhou Qi could feel that as long as he said one more word, these two men would mark him as an enemy and start a charge.
So he didn't speak.
He just looked away, looking at the large oil stains on Tang Jin's body, and then at the mess on the ground.
Then,
He leaned over and picked up the heavy, large, large pot with a diameter of at least forty centimeters that was blocking the way, and threw it on the table.
--boom!
At the moment of contact, it made a violent muffled sound and shook the table, as if to show how heavy it was.
"..."
The surrounding atmosphere became a little weird.
then,
Zhou Qi walked calmly across the mess and walked to the bathroom as if nothing was wrong.
Not a word was said from beginning to end.
"..."
And at this time,
Tang Jin looked at his back and suddenly came back to his senses.
At this moment, it seemed that everyone in the room was attracted by this boy who suddenly came over...
Is he... helping himself?
"..."
…
Zhou Qi really just went to the toilet.
At the same time, I took the opportunity to look at my phone and reply to a message or something.
Not to check out either.
How can he have the money to settle the bill? The remaining few hundred yuan was borrowed by Guan Li Qing.
Moreover, there is only this way to the bathroom... it is clear.
So he just came to the toilet without any other thoughts...
However,
When he came back to the bathroom, he found that he couldn't go back.
The aisle was crowded with people.
There was a lot of noise.
like,
The situation has not been alleviated by his actions just now, but has even worsened.
Of course, his operation just now did not have any other purpose, it was just a simple thought...
Even now.
Zhou Qi stepped forward, looking for a path through.
At this time, a shrill shrew voice came from the center of the crowd:
"...I don't care! What's the use of just apologizing? You have to compensate me!"
Subsequently,
A mature and calm woman's voice can be vaguely heard: "Don't worry, we have caused inconvenience to you and your family, and of course we have to compensate you, but the first priority is to ask the waiter to clean it up for you first, right? Let's do it first I will prepare some quiet clothes for you, and arrange a new table for you..."
"No need!" The sharp voice before was obviously that of the middle-aged woman. Before she could finish her words, she shouted impatiently and meanly: "How dare I eat at your house after all this? I'll be really mean next time. I’m in trouble... I won’t tell you more, but now, pay me 20,000 yuan and settle the matter!”
"..."
Upon hearing this, there was a small commotion around, and the discussion became much louder.
Zhou Qi walked in and found that it was really crowded. A group of waiters and a large group of guests were all there to watch the fun.
The person negotiating with the middle-aged woman should be the manager or owner of the hot pot restaurant. She is dressed smartly and maturely, wearing a decent ladies' suit. Although she looks ordinary, the color of her lipstick makes her entire makeup very bright. ,
At this time, she looked helpless and said to the middle-aged woman: "...Compensation is definitely required, but your price is a bit unrealistic..."
"What's so unrealistic!? Let me tell you, let alone the fact that my clothes only cost five thousand yuan. If I almost endanger my life after eating, shouldn't I order more? What if the soup is poured on me? Spill it on me What about your son? I think you just want to evade responsibility! Besides, for a restaurant as big as yours, you can’t even afford to pay 20,000 yuan??"
"..." After hearing this, the mature woman was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Everyone was also sighing.
I usually see this kind of people and this kind of thing on the Internet.
This is the first time I have seen reality...
The mature woman said helplessly: "But after all, such a situation has not been caused now... Do you think this is okay? We can compensate your clothes according to the price and give you this table for free, and then we will negotiate privately for other compensations, definitely The main thing is to satisfy you...is that okay? But please be quiet and don't affect other customers..."
"Private negotiation?" The woman looked suspicious, then became confident, "Don't think that I don't know your little tricks. If there is no one to witness this matter, you won't pay compensation... I don't care! Today we must Give me the money in person!”
Just as she was speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the culprit - Tang Jin, who was standing in the corner with his head bowed silently. So she rolled her eyes and said with renewed vigor: "Let's see! It seems that it's not easy to look at you, then. Just give me 10,000 yuan, but I want this little girl to kneel down and apologize to me, and then wash my clothes with her own hands..."
"..." The expression on the mature woman's face froze.
Well, not only her, but everyone was a little stiff.
The discussion suddenly became much quieter.
everyone,
Everyone was shocked by this woman's ugly face...
She, how could she be so shameless?
Unheard of...
"..."
"This, this is really a long time to see..."
"With a mother like this, those two children will be useless..."
"It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a person. It's so shameless..."
After a few seconds of discussion, someone yelled: "Can you stop making trouble here and affecting other people's business? Otherwise, call the police! You said that the hot pot restaurant waiter murdered your family. Do you want to see if the police accept it..."
Someone reacted and followed closely: "That's right, let's make it a trivial matter quickly. Why are you still so greedy?"
"..."
However, that woman is really thick-skinned, and her fighting ability is also top-notch.
Turn around and start shouting——
"Who are you calling shameless? You are shameless!"
"What's wrong with calling the police? I'm the one who called the police and has to compensate me!"
"What a trivial matter! I didn't spill the soup on you! Just said, if you can, you can compensate me for her money?"
Some people were dissatisfied: "One code equals one code, your situation is obviously not that serious..."
The woman continued to yell back: "Why isn't it serious!? I have to be burned for you to be satisfied, right..."
"..."
Anyway, that's all.
There was a lot of bickering going back and forth.
"..." Zhou Qi looked at this scene and fell into deep thought.
He's stuck in the aisle now.
"..."
Well, violent methods cannot be used, he has to find some other way to get out of here.
However, at this moment,
He heard a familiar voice, it was Li Donglai:
"Shut up! Are you obsessed with money? Are you dreaming about this? Do you really think you can ask for a lot of money just for this little thing? Do you deserve it for twenty thousand yuan? Your shabby clothes only cost fifty yuan." It’s not worth it, what is a difficult girl doing!?”
These words are full of energy and sound powerful.
Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but want to wait and see again.
After confirming that his roommates were all there, he stopped being anxious and simply stood there leisurely and watched the excitement.
At this time, another familiar voice, Bai Xuan,
He also seemed to be getting drunk and scolded: "...boy, you are also a college student, right? You are quite a grown man, and you can't tell right from wrong? Your mother is acting like that, and you can't even say a word? Then? Have you learned all these years in vain?”
"..." The scene became a little quieter.
The woman seemed to be overwhelmed and fell silent.
Zhou Qi could see several expressions emerging from the crowd, and their faces were full of shock.
Hmm... not surprising.
Zhonghai City is a first-tier big city in the country, gathering people from all over the southeast and northwest.
But after all, there are more people in the South, South China, and Central China, and their usual speaking habits are more euphemistic.
So Li Donglai's tricks are really not something ordinary people can handle.
And since Bai Xuan and him were together every day, they naturally learned the tricks.
Plus, he also drank...
So the woman was obviously confused by the scolding.
But that's not all...
At this time, another loud voice spoke, and he also had a Northeastern accent. He sounded like a rough and rough man:
"...Well said! I waited for a long time and someone scolded me!"
Then he whispered "Don't drag me", "Don't stop me", "What's going to happen", etc. It was obviously the people around him trying to persuade him.
But then, he let go: "I couldn't stand it for a long time, and now I have to say a few words... you stinky old bitch! Why are you licking your face and having the nerve to say it here!? Fuck! I was next to you just now I just saw it. This little girl is running around to serve your family. She works hard and never complains. What about you? You treat me like a maid, ordering her around...Does your family own the restaurant? You are the waiter. Alone!?
I just wonder, is there something wrong with your brain? It's hard for me to carry such heavy things, but you didn't say anything about helping the little girl, but just sat there and put on a show. Now that I've knocked it over, you're struggling. Why don't you die? ?
Damn you, the more you think about it, the more angry you become. Come and have some food, your good mood has been ruined by you. Get up! I have to give her a slap in the face today..."
Middle-aged woman: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Two seconds later, everyone started to commotion. They quickly grabbed the elder brother and persuaded him to calm down. They all said no, no, no...
The woman was also frightened.
but……
Her younger son, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, kept shouting: "You're bullying someone! You're bullying someone! You're beating someone..."
Noisy people are annoying.
Finally, another ten seconds passed.
Someone shouted: "Forget it, if she doesn't call the police, we will! Get this family away quickly! It's so annoying..."
Someone else said, "Yes! Don't be afraid, little girl! We are watching for you. You are not wrong at all. We will tell you when the police come!"
The others all agreed.
"..."
Someone took out their mobile phone,
The woman finally recovered from the shock just now,
But then, she said very bravely: "Then call the police! Who is afraid of whom? Even if the police come, they will have to compensate me!"
With that, she called her eldest son to call the police.
"..."
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Qi's eyes lit up as he was watching the show on the other side.
He originally didn't want to get involved.
I just want to watch a show.
but……
Call the police?
I think I can help with this...
Thinking this, interest filled his face, and he took two steps back to get away from the crowd.
He first glanced out the window. Compared to the scenery outside, his reflection was clearer.
But it didn't matter, he had a smile on his face, and then made a very strange move - he took out a fruit knife from his waist and showed it off in a pretentious manner.
Then, randomly select a person,
He gestured twice towards the back of this man's neck.
"Huh? Not yet?"
There was an interesting curve at the corner of Zhou Qi's mouth, and then he slowly stabbed the tip of the knife towards the man's neck.
Three inches, two inches, one inch...
Sudden!
boom!
Ping, ping, ping, ping—
Glass shattered.
In an instant, the knife in Zhou Qi's hand flew to an unknown place. At the same time, he felt that his hand was numb to death, and the tiger's mouth was shattered.
"..."
He was stunned for a moment.
"It's actually a sniper rifle?"
Well, the fact is that at that moment, a sniper bullet from nowhere hit the knife...
It's quite accurate, otherwise if it were slightly off, his hand and arm might be gone.
And he could tell at a glance that the one he was shooting at should be a sniper rifle xxxx... Well, this strength is quite familiar. In the past, when the country sent snipers to stare at him, it was probably this model...
But, is there a sniper rifle staring at him now?
It's a bit too much...
"..."
On one side, Zhou Qi was still weighing it in his mind, while on the other side, the others in the hot pot restaurant were already confused.
Especially the "lucky audience" selected by Zhou Qi, he felt his back was cold and his whole body was numb...
"ah!!!"
Until the first person started screaming and the whole hot pot restaurant started to commotion.
No one cares about conflicts or watching the excitement.
Screaming, shouting and huddled together.
but,
Just a few seconds later, several aggressive men and women rushed in from the window.
As soon as everyone took a look at it, they were immediately frightened——
Because they are all holding pistols!
"Don't even move!"
"Hold your head with your hands! Squat down!"
"Everyone be quiet!"
Everyone was confused.
In the end what happened? ?
"Say it again, everyone squats down with their hands on their heads!!"
The leading policeman shouted with an extremely serious expression.
People just started to come back to their senses and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
"Don't even look up!"
Everyone bows their heads,
Shivering.
Panic and whispers have spread:
"Holy shit, shit, what's going on..."
"Police, are the police so quick to dispatch now?"
"Yeah, I'm stupid. The police call came just after the call was made..."
"The problem is, just to resolve a civil dispute, why are you holding a gun..."
"Is it possible that that family of three are wanted criminals?"
"It doesn't look like it. Could it be that... there are wanted criminals among the others??"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"It's all that woman's fault, and it's all my fault. We've all finished eating. Why are you here watching the excitement? Damn..."
"..."
at the same time,
Several policemen looked at the only person standing in the audience——
Zhou Qi.
And they all pointed their guns at him.
Zhou Qi looked a little helpless. He had to spread his hands to show that he was not a threat, then pointed at the policeman, then pointed at his mouth, and made an "x" sign.
Then he pointed at the trembling family squatting over there.
The meaning is obvious,
He said that everything happened for a reason, and he did not do evil for the sake of killing people, but just to resolve conflicts and show off. In addition, don't expose yourself...
"..."
Several police officers instantly understood that they were being used by Zhou Qi.
Their expressions became terrifyingly gloomy, and several pistols were still pointed at Zhou Qi.
However, I really didn’t say anything that I shouldn’t have said.
Just like that, the scene was quiet for dozens of seconds.
Well, it's not particularly quiet.
In fact, because of the sudden incident, many people's hot pots were still on fire. During this time, the sound of gurgling and boiling could be heard everywhere.
and,
Because the glass was broken, the sounds outside were much louder, and the sounds of the noisy night market also poured in.
A large group of people gathered around to watch the commotion here and started talking a lot.
At this time, Zhou Qi blinked, then squatted down with his head in his hands.
"...Okay, the danger is over."
The leading policeman paused, exhaled, tilted his head and spoke softly into the intercom.
"..."
then,
He took a deep look at Zhou Qi and slowly put down the gun.
After scanning around,
Walked straight to the family of three.
"You, you guys, stand up."
"Ah?" The woman trembled and raised her head in fear.
Looking at that expression, is there any trace of the arrogance from before?
She didn't dare to stand up directly, but asked with a trembling voice: "Police, comrade police, it's not okay, I was wrong... This is my first time, please forgive me..."
"Haha," the policeman couldn't help but sneer: "Stand up quickly!"
"Ah!" The woman was frightened and stood up quickly.
There was really no meanness or unreasonableness on her face, and she only looked like she was about to cry.
But next to her, her seven or eight-year-old son probably hasn't received much education yet.
So she didn't respect the police enough and wanted to say something, but she covered her mouth.
It can be seen that she still knows something and has enough respect for the official and the law...
"..."
The scene became very strange.
Everyone is thinking wildly in their minds.
Li Donglai, Bai Xuan, and Chen Xing gathered together and kept whispering.
While wondering what happened, I also wondered how Zhou Qi was doing now...
In a corner, Tang Jin was squatting there, holding his head. He was weak and helpless, with a confused look on his face. He still hadn't realized what was going on.
And everyone else... is also guessing.
In the end, what happened?
"..."
In this strange and quiet atmosphere,
The leading policeman spoke with a stern face:
"... According to the express provisions of our country's laws, when a customer's personal property is damaged, they can negotiate for compensation. This is everyone's civil rights... However, it does not mean that you can over-protect your rights!"
"Now, I give you two choices. One is to truthfully calculate your losses and compensate privately, and the other... follow me to the Public Security Bureau to file a record!"
…
