Clearly, Murong Chuan and Murong Qiao had also noticed the person in front of them. He didn’t seem to be an ordinary waiter, so they didn’t take the lead to order.
The man seemed to have seen through their confusion and took the initiative to explain, “I’m here as a part-time waiter. I help out when there are more people at noon. There were some problems with my clothes today, so I didn’t wear them. I’m sorry.”
This answer seemed to explain a portion of the problem. At least, when Murong Qiao heard him say this, she reached out to take the menu from the other party’s hand, wanting to see what she wanted to eat.
However, at this relaxed moment, the other party suddenly moved.
The man’s other hand, which was holding the menu, suddenly pulled out a cold knife from under the menu and stabbed it at Murong Qiao.
The tip of the knife approached Murong Qiao in an instant, it’s cold light flickering with killing intent.
He had long calculated and knocked out the waiter in the restaurant before bringing the corresponding things to disarm the guard of the two of them. Then, he would attack the moment Murong Qiao was close to him and leave.
The distance between the two of them was less than half a meter. He only needed to move fast enough to directly complete his goal.
However, the plan changed. A hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed the knife fiercely in its palm. Ignoring the warm liquid flowing out, it forcefully stopped the tip of the knife that was about to cut Murong Qiao’s cheek.
It was Murong Chuan.
After noticing the other party’s seemingly overly cold att.i.tude and strange clothes, he had been staring at this person, especially his gaze. When he looked at his Little Sister, his emotions were different from the others.
“Who are you?!” Murong Chuan ignored his b.l.o.o.d.y hand and shouted sternly.
At the same time, He used his free hand to grab the other party.
Seeing that his plan had failed, that person pulled out his knife and spun it without hesitation.
However, the action of pulling out the knife undoubtedly aggravated the wound on Murong Chuan’s hand. He couldn’t help but cry out in pain. His left hand tugged at the other party’s clothes, but he didn’t let go. He actually endured the pain.
Murong Qiao only got the chance to move the moment the knife left. She finally got up from her seat and hurriedly looked at her Third Brother. She took her phone and immediately wanted to call the police.
However, her cell phone was placed on the table. Before she could reach it, the other party’s knife smashed the screen. It seemed that her cell phone was useless now.
Murong Qiao took advantage of the fact that the other party had damaged her cell phone to flip over from her seat and reach Murong Chuan’s side. She pulled him away from the other party.
“Third Brother, how are you?!” She anxiously held Murong Chuan’s b.l.o.o.d.y right hand and looked around, but she couldn’t find any effective first aid measures. In the end, she hurriedly took off the scarf she had brought and wrapped it around Murong Chuan’s hand to stop the bleeding.
Murong Chuan was about to extend his left hand and pull his Little Sister behind him. He wanted to tell her not to worry about him. The most important thing was to protect herself.
However, that person didn’t seem to be afraid at all after seeing the blood. He calmly picked up the knife and pointed it at Murong Qiao again.
The dispute that broke out attracted everyone’s attention.
“Murder!!!” Someone shouted in panic when they saw the blood.
This shout worsened the panic of the customers in the shop. Countless people rushed out, and some even fainted when they saw the blood.
Murong Chuan’s expression was solemn. When he looked at the man opposite him and saw him walking towards his Little Sister, he didn’t care about his right hand. He was still in so much pain that he protected Murong Qiao.
That person seemed to only have eyes for Murong Qiao. The tip of the knife was pointed at Murong Qiao’s face.
Murong Chuan’s physical fitness was only slightly better than ordinary people. After all, he was a professor who often taught in school. Therefore, he showed signs of fatigue after resisting a few times, especially when the other party was still maintaining his hostility. Countless wounds of various sizes appeared on his body.
Big Brother!” Murong Qiao wanted to go up from behind.
However, she knew very well that the other party’s target was her. If she really sent herself up so foolishly, Third Brother’s injuries would be in vain.
Her cell phone was already broken. She looked around and saw her Third Brother’s still intact cell phone. Without a word, she took it over and called for help, waiting for the call to be picked up.
Perhaps it was because Murong Chuan was a little reckless, but the man was also a little frustrated. He finally spoke again.
“Get out of the way.”
His target was Murong Qiao, not Murong Chuan. There was no point in being entangled with him here. Moreover, if he delayed any longer, it would be disadvantageous to him.
Murong Chuan didn’t say anything and only blocked in front of him. At the same time, he took advantage of this rare opportunity to catch his breath and picked up the plate beside him. He knocked it against the hard stone table and smashed out a relatively good fragment.
This time, he wouldn’t have to fight the other party bare-handed.
The man had no intention of backing down in Murong Chuan’s presence. He simply planned to end the battle quickly, and the direction the blade was pointing at changed.
While the two of them were in a deadlock, Murong Qiao finally waited for the call to go through. She spoke quickly.
“At the shop on the third floor of the East District Central Mall, my brother and
I met a person with a knife…”
Murong Qiao revealed the key information almost immediately. At the same time, her mind raced, afraid that she would say something wrong and cause the rescue to be even later.
The other party clearly accepted her efficiency and directly confirmed the location before responding. “Please try your best to protect yourself. We will arrive at the event location in five minutes.”
Five minutes?
When Murong Qiao heard this, she couldn’t help but look at her Third Brother.
His lips were so pale that they were almost bleeding.
Not to mention five minutes, her Third Brother probably couldn’t even last a minute in this state.
The trench coat that he was originally wearing was tattered by the knife. There was even blood seeping out from some parts, making him look especially terrifying.
This definitely couldn’t go on. Murong Qiao quickly made a decision in her heart and took the initiative to walk over.
You re here for me, right? Let him go.” She took the initiative to attract the other party’s attention.
However, Murong Chuan didn’t agree with Murong Qiao’s actions at all.
“Qiaoqiao, don’t worry about me…cough!”
He coughed heavily. It was unknown where his body was injured, but the forbearance in his voice was obvious.
Now, only Murong Qiao was left in the shop. Murong Chuan and the man were facing off against each other, and the other customers had already run outside.
The surrounding guests who were in a mess outside actually didn’t seem to be affected by the crisis. There were even some people who wanted to join in the fun and took out their phones. It was unknown if they were live-streaming or filming a video, but they didn’t have the slightest intention of saving them.
Third Brother!” Murong Qiao called out to him anxiously.
However, no matter how anxious she was, she couldn’t resist Murong Chuan’s order. Even if the other party was already a little powerless, it was more than enough to control his Little Sister.
Seeing that Murong Chuan’s injuries were increasing, Murong Qiao was worried, but her movements were still impeded by Murong Chuan in advance every time.
Seeing that Murong Chuan really didn’t care about his life and was standing in front of him, that person decided not to hold back this time. He waved his knife and aimed straight for Murong Chuan’s neck.
He would stab this person to death first before dealing with the target. There was still time to leave before the police arrived..
