The opponent made a sudden move, leaving almost no time to react.

If it was the ordinary person who grew up under the greenhouse in the past, Chen Linzhi would probably be stupid on the spot.

But this is no longer the case.

During my time in the San Francisco County Jail, I saw many disputes, some people even died, and many people could not see hope in their lives, like jackals, tigers and leopards, even more broken jars.

Because of being protected by Old Man Wang, Chen Linzhi spent a few months in peace, and finally gained a little knowledge, and there were earth-shaking changes in his three views, knowing that life was not just plain and peaceful.

The second he saw the axe swing down, he reflexively withdrew his hand!

The axe slashed the wooden table, shaking the dishes and making a screeching sound, and a bowl of oyster mushroom and meat sliced soup, the juice shook and overflowed the bowl.

Seeing this, the surrounding diners let out exclamations, attracting more people to come over.

Good Samaritans came to help?

Some people instantly got up to avoid it, for fear of being accidentally affected.

But it's just a trotting out of the restaurant, and the Chinese Americans who grew up in this neighborhood, who haven't listened to the rumors of the bigwigs and witnessed the beatings and killings again and again, almost all of them have acquaintances who make a living in the club, and they have long been surprised by this.

Chen Linzhi's old friend Yin Yu, after a moment of shock, immediately got up and picked up the liquor bottle, and smashed it on this person's head without even thinking about it!

"Bang!"

The other party raised his arm, the wine bottle did not hit the vital point, and the clothes were too thick on a cold day, just tearing the fabric of the jacket.

Chen Linzhi didn't have anything at hand, so he decisively raised his legs, used all his strength, and kicked over!

The tall strange man blocked it with his forearm as if he had expected it.

The contact between the arms and legs made Chen Linzhi suffer, as if he had kicked an iron plate, and the pain instantly became hot, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The restaurateur is not tall, wearing a white apron with the words "88 Tunnels" written on it, and is a well-known local liquor brand.

Don't look at the age of 50, the restaurant owner's temper is still quite violent, and he doesn't worry at all about anything, holding a big spoon in his hand, he came out and shouted:

"Fight and go out to fight! Don't look at whose territory it is, so many protection fees are paid in vain!? As soon as Uncle Zhu's people come, you are all finished!"

There are rules in each place.

For example, when doing business in San Francisco's Chinatown, regular payment has long become a rule on the surface, and anyone who doesn't give business can't do it.

Of course, the money is handed over to others, and they also have certain obligations while getting benefits, which are reflected in the word "protection", and they can indeed spend money to eliminate disasters.

Now that the calamity is coming, it is no wonder that the restaurant owner is only angry, but he is not worried and afraid, and his voice is louder than anyone else.

To a certain extent, this neighborhood where Chinese Americans gather has existed for more than 100 years, and it has long been a set of rules of its own, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place outside the law.

At least in Chinatown, reporting their names is often more effective than saying that they have to call the police, after all, the police have rules and regulations, and those people don't.

In the past, Chen Linzhi was not a good person, otherwise he would have tossed himself in and locked up for a few months, and his two friends were also not afraid of things.

As soon as the wine bottle was broken, Yin Yu used all his strength to hold the bottle directly, while Ah Liang picked up the bowl of soup and splashed it at the stranger with the axe in his hand.

The other party threw the axe and covered his eyes with his arm, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Chen Linzhi took the opportunity to pick up a bench made of wood, but he didn't catch up and beat it.

This is the United States, guns are not banned, as long as there is room for maneuver, it is better not to push people to a dead end, God knows what can be done with a hot head.

Keep an eye on the man's every move, ready to smash the bench over at any moment.

Chen Linzhi's face was full of vigilance, and he said in his mouth: "You recognized the wrong person, there is no injustice and no revenge, why are you cutting me?"

After the man stood firm, he did not make any other moves.

Just wiped the wine and soup on his face, and said calmly: "Someone asked me to bring you a message, don't worry about it, be careful to set yourself on fire." Don't be nervous, just teach you a lesson, or you won't be able to stand and talk to me. ”

As soon as the words fell, he left without hesitation.

I swaggered out like this, and I didn't forget to grab a hot chicken from the table of other diners.

Chen Linzhi only felt ridiculous.

After all, even if you want to teach a lesson, you can't be so ruthless, if you don't retract your arm, judging from that strength, your left hand is probably really gone.

The other party comes fast and goes fast.

Whether it's the style of acting or the tone of his voice, he is so careless, and he doesn't look like the kind of person he likes to mess with.

I believe that Yin Yu and Ah Liang also noticed it, and seeing that Chen Linzhi didn't move, they didn't chase them out.

Although they all wanted to be famous earlier, after all, they were not the kind of people who were really ruthless and had a tendon in their heads, and it was very good to be able to save Chen Linzhi in a hurry and dare to help.

After a while, until the man disappeared in the doorway.

The heart was pounding, Chen Linzhi bent down and picked up the axe on the ground, and he could vaguely smell the smell of paint, which should have been bought from the store not long ago.

The man was wearing gloves just now, and since he was covered but dropped the murder weapon, it is estimated that he did not leave fingerprints, and he was not afraid of being found on his head.

Most of the wine woke up.

Yin Yu looked at Chen Linzhi and asked seriously: "What, who did you provoke in prison?" ”

“...... I don't have any money on me, so I paid for it and went out and said, a good table of dishes, it was wasted. ”

When Chen Linzhi spoke, he kept thinking in his heart, and he couldn't guess who was eyeing him.

There are a few potential targets, such as the bitter master who let him go in and squat for a few months after making an impulsive move a few months ago.

used to be a mess, how can you not have some grudges.

What makes him helpless is that whether he is in prison or seeking revenge, he has been put on a pretty innocent shelf.

The others in the novel live a new life, either inheriting a large amount of family property and enjoying life leisurely, or having the ability to defy the sky, pushing all the way, who stops whom.

It's your turn.

No matter how he thought about this situation, he was aggrieved and depressed.

The pocket is cleaner than the face, not to mention, there is still trouble, and the life is worrying.

......

See that they offer to compensate.

The restaurant owner thought that more things were better than less, and although he was not happy, he still counted it.

plus the money for food and drinks, a total of 100 US dollars were begged, including the diners who took the opportunity to slip away, and the price of the three tables of meals that were spilled by Ah Liang's soup.

An axe was cut off at the dining table, leaving a dent.

Cheap old wooden table only.

The boss didn't mention the compensation, but just told them not to continue eating and leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble again.

Chen Linzhi had no money, so he couldn't leave to brush the plate to pay off the debt, so he let Yin Yu and Ah Liang scrape together enough 100 US dollars to compensate the boss.

Rather than paying back the money verbally, he felt that it would be better to wait for the money to be paid, and it would be better to invite these two strange old friends to eat and drink.

The three of them walked out after losing the money, and collectively picked up a cigarette in their mouths.

When you go out, whether it is the waiter or other guests, you will avoid them intentionally or unintentionally, as if you are watching some evil.

The living atmosphere in Chinatown is generally relatively calm, and seeing these three young people will be openly seeking revenge and falling into the eyes of others, it is clear that it is not a good stubble.

Went out and walked for a while.

While Ah Liang had palpitations, he also smiled and said:

"I haven't had a chance to be famous before, but today's trouble, I will have something to talk about when I eat with people in the future. My bowl of soup was splashed accurately, but unfortunately it was almost cold on the table, and the hot soup was even worse. ”

Yin Yu followed and boasted: "Even if he knows each other, if he doesn't retreat and dodge, it is estimated that he will have to lie down and be dragged away." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Linzhi, and always felt that he was different from the past today, thinking that he had really caused something.

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Yu couldn't hold back after all, and continued to ask: "Is it just like this if nothing happens, do you want to go to the police station to report the case?" That guy just now is much more ruthless than the thugs we usually come into contact with, maybe he will come again next time." ”

Chen Linzhi shook his head.

He didn't think he would catch the man by reporting the crime.

What's more, listening to the meaning, it should only be responsible for passing the word, and there are probably other people behind it, so it's not good to be in a hurry.

After thinking about it and having no clue, Chen Linzhi asked tentatively:

"What is the origin of that guy I beat up before I went in?

Shouldn't it be to see me come out and take revenge on me, otherwise how would that person just now know that I just came out today?"

Yin Yu immediately shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the territory has been lost, and it is said that people have also returned to the port city in Asia, and it is not good to retaliate against anyone, staring at what you little thug is doing." But it's not absolutely impossible, buy something to eat and go back to me to continue drinking, and be careful in the last few days......"
