268 Be beaten to a pulp

However, Zhuang Zhiguo wanted to establish friendly relations with Xia Tian, but Xia Tian had no intention of getting to know Zhuang Zhiguo and simply ignored him, continuing to walk forward while holding Mu Han.

Zhuang Zhiguo stood there awkwardly without pursuing them further. After all, he was the hospital director and a person of some standing; it wouldn't be appropriate for him to persistently harass Xia Tian.

Two nurses who had rushed out from the emergency room watched Xia Tian's retreating figure with admiration. True experts were indeed extraordinary—they didn't even acknowledge the hospital director.

Xia Tian and Mu Han hadn't gone far; across from the hospital gates was a breakfast shop that did brisk business, but there happened to be an empty seat inside.

Just as they sat down, Xia Tian received a call from Huang Anping.

"Xia Tian, I heard you're in Linjiang County" Huang Anping asked right away.

"Yes, how did you find out" Xia Tian was somewhat puzzled.

"I heard it from my dad. My dad heard it from He Ming, who wanted your help and thus got my dad's phone number," Huang Anping explained, then followed up with another question, "Why are you in such a remote place, Xia Tian"

"Sis Xin lives here. Her dad had some trouble, so I came over." Xia Tian was somewhat annoyed. "What’s the point of asking all these questions"

"Ahem, Xia Tian, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to find out where you are; it's just that Linjiang County is a very unsafe place, especially for outsiders. All I want to do is remind you to be more careful," Huang Anping hastily clarified.

Summer, however, is indifferent: "The ones who should be careful are others, not me."

"Oh yeah, that's true." Huang Anping realized it was indeed the case; whoever encountered Summer should be cautious, not Summer herself.

"I'm going to have breakfast now." Summer didn't want to chat with Huang Anping further and hung up the call directly.

Suddenly a voice came from beside: "Hey man, move aside!"

Summer turned around to see a flamboyantly dressed young man standing by the table. Although he was talking to Summer, his eyes kept glancing at Mu Han.

"Hey man, you're occupying my seat," the young man continued.

"When did I occupy your seat" Summer was clearly unhappy.

"Bro, my girlfriend just got me a spot here!" The young man said with a playful grin.

Summer was somewhat confused: "Where's your girlfriend then"

"Right there, that’s my girlfriend." The young man pointed casually, and surprisingly at Mu Han.

"Slap!" Summer raised his hand and slapped the young man across the face, then kicked him to the ground and angrily cursed, "You idiot, do you dare flirt with my wife"

"Ugh..." The young man cried out in pain and fell to the ground, "Help! Someone help! He killed me!"

Summer was displeased, "Do you want to die Then I'll just kill you!"

Saying that, Summer kicked the young man again, causing another scream of agony.

"Damn it, how dare you hit my brother! I'm going to kill you!" A similarly dressed flashy-looking youth rushed in from outside, holding a bowl of vermicelli. He threw the bowl towards Summer, and the soup and noodles flew through the air, about to land all over her.

Summer casually waved her hand, and suddenly an invisible force appeared in the air. The flying noodles and soup abruptly changed direction as if they had eyes, heading straight for the newcomer's face.

"Ugh... so hot..." He cried out in agony; the freshly boiled soup splashed all over his face, scalding him into wanting to jump into a cold water vat immediately. The noodles also flew onto his face, with some sliding down his neck and into his clothes, scalding him uncontrollably.

The restaurant was thrown into chaos; the breakfast patrons scrambled to get away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

"You brat! Do you know who our boss is!" The badly scalded man looked at Summer with feigned bravado.

Summer said impatiently, "I don't care who your boss is. If you don’t get lost right now, I'll make sure even your dad won't recognize you!"

"Listen here brat! Our big boss is the Prince. You'd better apologize to us and give us your girl... uh..." The first troublemaker tried again to take advantage of Mu Han, but Summer kicked him away before he could finish his sentence. This man flew out onto the street and fell heavily onto the ground, losing consciousness.

Mu Han frowned slightly; this was already the second time she had heard about this 'Prince' since yesterday.

"What the hell is this prince If I see him, I'll beat him into a meatball!" Summer was also annoyed; it seemed that ever since he arrived at this place, that so-called prince had been looking for trouble.

Mu Han was stunned. She really couldn't imagine what beating someone to look like a meatball would be like.

The crowd who were just having breakfast and now watching the spectacle silently shook their heads. This person is truly clueless about his situation; if he ever meets the prince, he's as good as dead.

"Kid, don't act so cocky! The prince could kill you with a single finger. Do you believe that" The burned man glared viciously at Summer.

"No." Summer curled his lips. "Tell the dumb prince to come over here—I can finish him off without even breaking a sweat!"

"Kid, these are your words! If you've got guts, stay right there and wait for it!" The burned man shouted.

"Sure thing! I'll be waiting here. Hurry up and get that dumb prince to show himself!" Summer was itching to give the so-called prince a good beating; he naturally welcomed any opportunity for a fight.

After saying this, Summer sat back down in his seat and grumbled at the restaurant owner with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, why haven't our buns arrived yet"

The restaurant owners were a middle-aged couple in their forties. Seeing that Summer still wanted breakfast, they exchanged glances but didn't dare say anything after looking outside to see the young man making a phone call. They merely delivered the steamed buns and soy milk that Summer and Mu Han ordered.

"Kid, wait and see!" The young man hung up the call and ran back in, smugly staring at Summer.

"So annoying!" Summer picked up a chopstick and threw it. It hit the young man on his head; he groaned and fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing that both thugs were knocked out, the male boss hurriedly walked to Xia Tian's side and whispered, "Young man, quickly take your girlfriend and leave. You can't afford to tangle with these guys."

"Uncle, thank you for your concern, but we just want to have breakfast," Mu Han sweetly smiled. She naturally knew that this boss was well-meaning, but she also knew that Xia Tian wouldn't just walk away like that.

"Miss, these guys are really not to be messed with! You're so pretty; they definitely won't let you go easily. I've heard that those who offend them rarely have a good ending. Better endure for now and avoid conflict. Please leave quickly while there's still time."

"Anyone who dares to provoke me will suffer the consequences," Xia Tian replied unhappily, "Don't mess with me or else you'll regret it!"

Xia Tian was very displeased; this guy was obviously looking down on him. If he didn’t know that the boss had good intentions, he would have punched him.

The male boss was angered by Xia Tian’s words. He had kindly warned them, yet Xia Tian threatened to beat him. As a result, the boss no longer spoke and only glanced at Mu Han with regret; she looked like a movie star but followed such an arrogant man who would likely suffer misfortune.

Sighing, he waved his wife over and left the restaurant. After the commotion, nobody dared to eat breakfast there anymore, so the couple decided to distance themselves from trouble.

Of course, they didn’t go far; they just stood outside with the crowd waiting for something exciting to happen. While everyone thought that those still having breakfast were going to suffer, they wanted to see how badly they would be affected.

Xia Tian usually ate very quickly and finished his breakfast in less than five minutes. The so-called prince hadn't arrived yet, making Xia Tian somewhat displeased. He walked out of the restaurant, yawned, and started complaining, "Why are you so slow"

Those who had thought that Xia Tian was just bluffing and would run away after breakfast understood now; he really was waiting for the prince to arrive.

"He’s truly ignorant of danger. Is this guy from out of town

"It should be, didn't you hear them speaking Mandarin"

"Of course it is. Who dares to provoke the Prince's people around here That would be courting death."

Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, a van suddenly sped over. Everyone scrambled out of its way, afraid that they might get hit by it. When the van reached the breakfast shop’s entrance, it suddenly braked hard and stopped. Then the door opened, and six or seven people jumped out.

"Who did this" A burly man walked up to a fainted youth and glared at him before roaring, "Come out now!"

"Hey, you guys, who's that Prince moron" Xia Tian shouted instead.

"What You dare curse the Prince brother Are you looking for a beating" The burly man rushed towards Xia Tian.

Xia Tian punched him straight in the face; the burly man staggered backwards.

"You idiot, if you’re not the Prince, don't waste my time!" Xia Tian kicked him aside and approached the remaining people. "Hey, who's the moron Prince among you"

The men looked at each other; they were still in awe of what Xia Tian did just now.

Seeing no one was speaking up, Xia Tian grabbed a man by his chest. "Are you the Prince"

"No... I’m not..." This man’s tongue seemed to have tied itself into knots.was a little confused; she was momentarily worried if Xia Tian might have run off.Mu Han wasn't concerned about Xia Tian running away; he was still here, after all. How could her husband leave without...
