Otherwise, knowing how dire his situation was after escaping from the Gong family, San Laizi didn’t think to flee but instead came to Fengtian Tower.
This shows how important Fengtian Tower is to these people, so Er Biaozi, being one of them, Xu Fei felt confident he wouldn’t have trouble finding this guy.
“Major, should we go look for San Laizi now? But he’s already been caught by the Gong family. Are we going to rescue him?” Hell Ear, following closely, couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Fei pondered for a moment before responding.
“I’m not entirely clear on the situation yet, but we must find San Laizi and ask him where the jade pendant on his waist came from. As for whether to save him, we’ll decide once we get there!”
After explaining, Xu Fei quickened his pace, but Hell Ear called out again from behind.
“Major!”
“What now?”
“We… we haven’t eaten yet!”
At this, Xu Fei realised that, due to the Gong family’s pursuit at Fengtian Tower, they had barely touched the food on the table.
“Then let’s eat here. Fill our stomachs quickly, we’re in a hurry!”
Xu Fei understood the saying, “Man is iron, food is steel, you can’t go without eating,” and pointed to a small roadside diner, striding inside.
Originally, Xu Fei planned to eat something quick with Hell Ear and leave, but as soon as they entered, they encountered an unwelcome group.
It was just a small diner, with no more than six small tables in the modest space.
Now, a group of shirtless men with beer bellies had pushed two tables together, drinking and playing drinking games, creating quite a lively scene.
If it were just lively, it wouldn’t matter, but these men were overbearing.
Their loud voices made it impossible for others to eat in peace, and empty liquor bottles rolled across the floor. Thanks to these hooligans, the diner was practically commandeered by them.
Besides Xu Fei, a young couple, likely tourists, stood nearby, clearly starving and hoping to grab a quick bite, but they were met with this scene.
The owner, who looked to be in his forties with a kind face, was obviously an honest man who didn’t dare cause trouble, and he too wore a helpless, frustrated expression.
“Major, let’s find somewhere else to eat!” Hell Ear said, sensing trouble.
But Xu Fei had the opposite opinion.
“We’re not going anywhere else today. We’ll eat here, we’re in a hurry too, aren’t we?”
With that, Xu Fei pulled over a chair, sat down boldly right across from the hooligans, grabbed the menu, and ordered two or three dishes.
With Xu Fei taking the lead, the young couple finally mustered the courage to sit nearby.
The hooligans seemed to notice Xu Fei’s disdain for them, and one couldn’t help but taunt, “Tch! All that big talk, and you think you’re some hotshot? In a roadside diner like this, you can only afford three dishes? How pathetic!”
Xu Fei, never one to tolerate bullies who prey on the weak, shot back immediately.
“Yeah, my mum taught me to be polite when eating and doing things out in the world, unlike some useless loudmouths who only excel at stuffing their faces!”
That was enough to enrage the group, who slammed the table and stood up.
