    A thug with dyed yellow hair reached out and grabbed a girl in a waitress uniform. The tray she was carrying fell to the ground, the bottle shattered, and the spilled liquor ran down the floor onto the thug's shoes. The yellow-haired thug became even angrier, grabbing the girl's collar with his other hand and shoving her against the wall. "So what if you're just having a couple of drinks with me? What's with the high and mighty act! You guys are just after money, aren't you? What? You think I can't afford it?" Nearby, another thug in a black T-shirt was toying with a switchblade, the blade gleaming coldly under the light. He yelled at the onlookers, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!" The girl turned deathly pale, tears streaming down her face, but she bit her lip tightly, refusing to cry out. Chen Fan, already seething with anger, saw this scene and his rage exploded. He couldn't stand seeing women being bullied, especially when he was so frustrated. His undying youthful spirit overwhelmed him. "Stop!" Chen Fan abruptly stood up, the booth chair sliding back half a meter with a screeching sound. Before Yang Wei could pull him back, he had already strode across the dance floor, grabbing the wrist of the blond-haired guy who was pulling on the girl's collar. The blond-haired guy hadn't expected anyone to interfere. When he turned around and saw Chen Fan, his eyes were full of disdain. "Who the hell are you? How dare you interfere in my business?" He tried to shake off Chen Fan's hand, but Chen Fan's fingers were like iron clamps, gripping his wrist painfully. "Let her go." Chen Fan's voice was as cold as ice, and the ferocity in his eyes almost overflowed. He had been holding back for the past three years, rarely arguing with anyone, but all the pent-up frustration and resentment found an outlet at this moment: "Touch her again, and I'll cripple you."
