Ming Li tossed aside the big man's hand, casually picked up a bottle of beer from the table, and with a gentle twist of her other hand on the cap, she opened the bottle, which normally required a bottle opener.
The big man, whose hand Ming Li had just twisted, watched this scene in terror, his legs trembling.
Ming Li expressionlessly discarded the cap and looked at the big man in front of her. She handed him the beer and said, "You wanted a drink, didn't you? Drink up!"
Under Ming Li's calm gaze, the big man reached out and took the beer bottle.
Clutching the bottle tightly, he seemed to have an idea. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and hurled the bottle at Ming Li. He then roared at the people behind him, "Move! What are you waiting for!"
At the shout of their leader, his subordinates all began to tremble.
Ming Li leaned to the side, easily dodging the flying beer bottle.
The bottle shattered against the table behind Ming Li, erupting into a cascade of sparkling shards. Ming Li grabbed the man's hand before he could retract it and, with a swift motion, executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw.
The big man landed on the ground, utterly bewildered.
His bewilderment quickly turned to rage when he saw that all the subordinates he had brought were still standing still in their places.
The big man tried to get up, but found that every movement sent pain through his body.
Realizing he couldn't stand up for the moment, he roared at his subordinates again, "What are you all standing around for! Hurry up and attack me!"
The subordinates: ...?! They glanced at Ming Li standing not far away, then at the steel pipes in their hands. With a final bite of their lips, they charged forward. The outcome was, as expected, inevitable.
Ming Li looked at the steel pipes swinging towards her and did not dodge. She met them head-on.
This scene made Ming Li's students and the onlookers gasp in fear, but five minutes later, their feelings changed.
Ming Li dropped the steel pipe in her hand, clapped her hands, took out her phone from her bag, and dialed 110.
After two rings, the call was answered. Ming Li spoke into the phone, "Hello, 110? Someone is harassing a woman here."
The big men groaning on the ground: ...?! Does your conscience not ache saying that?!
Ming Li's students: ...?! Teacher, is this a bit unfair?!
The bystanders watching the commotion: ...?! This woman is fierce!
Ming Li's gaze fell upon the owner of the barbecue stall. She calmly asked, "Boss, is our barbecue ready yet?"
The barbecue stall owner: ...?!
Hearing this, he quickly looked at the barbecue on the grill, only to find that it was all burnt and emitting smoke.
The barbecue stall owner gave Ming Li an awkward smile and said, "Not yet, it'll be ready soon." With that, he quickly tossed the smoking, blackened items from the grill into the trash can and started grilling a new batch of skewers.
Ming Li returned to her seat and found everyone at the table looking at her with admiration.
Ahem, ahem! Ming Li coughed lightly and said to her students with a serious expression, "From now on, if you encounter such people, fight if you can win, run if you can't, and if you can't even run, call the police. Understood?"
The students nodded in unison and replied, "Understood, Teacher!"
The system in the space: ...?! Its mouth twitched hard. Host, are you sure teaching your students like this is okay?!
Fifteen minutes later, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.
