Bei Yutang looked through the menu, “One serving of foie gras, cream of mushroom soup, and one serving of Baked snails French-style.”
Hughes handed the menu to the waiter. “Like her, and a bottle of 1982 Lafite.”
“Okay, please wait a moment, both of you.”
The food was served very quickly. Not long after they placed the order, the waiter came over with the plate.
When the waiter approached, Bei Yutang was caught by a flash in the corner of her eye. She looked in the direction of the flash and saw the waiter pull out a dagger from under the tray.
“Be careful.” Bei Yutang screamed.
As she spoke, the waiter had already walked toward the unsuspecting Hughes.
He leaned to the side, and the sharp knife rubbed past his side. When he wanted to do it again, he had no chance. As soon as Hughes grabbed his hand, the waiter heard a ‘crack’, and his hand broke, and the knife in his hand fell from his hand.
The waiter screamed in pain, but he still stretched out his other hand, but his fist was restrained again in front of him. This time, he heard two ‘crack’ and ‘crack’, and his hand and leg bones were all dislocated.
Two bodyguards calmly stepped forward, removed the waiter’s jaw, and carried him out of the restaurant. (T/N: I think… These bodyguards really don’t do their job well enough! Too late!)
The scene that just happened took only a short minute. Before they could react, they saw Hughes Rockefy easily deal with the assassin.
People glanced at him and silently withdrew their gaze, not daring to look over there again.
There was no discussion in the restaurant, and everyone ate their food in silence.
Hughes looked at Bei Yutang worriedly. Seeing that she looked normal, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m sorry to have scared you.”
Bei Yutang finally understood why he had bodyguards with him and why he was attacked just after having a meal.
“I have a stronger heart.” Bei Yutang said jokingly.
The little incident just now did not affect the two people’s meal.
Hughes looked at her and felt relieved to see that she was really not affected by what happened just now.
“I’m going to the bathroom.” Bei Yutang stood up.
After she left, Hughes’s eyes suddenly became dark.
The leader of the bodyguards stepped forward and whispered a name into Hughes’ ear.
“Deal with the person and send him over.” Hughes said coldly.
“Yes.”
“Burned them with the cargo at the port.”
It was a rare opportunity for him to come out for a meal, but someone wanted to ruin his mood.
If it were in the past, he would have just treated it as an entertainment program, but today was different.
“Yes.” The leader of the bodyguards immediately went down to give orders.
Things here had been dealt with, but Bei Yutang hadn’t come back yet.
Hughes raised his hand and looked at the time on his wrist. She had been gone for five minutes.
Hughes sat alone in his seat, feeling a little anxious.
The leader of the bodyguards saw what the boss was thinking and asked carefully, “Boss, do you need me to send someone over to take a look?”
“Need not.”
Hughes waited patiently. His eyes fixed on the back.
He believed her.
As time passed, the color in his eyes darkened little by little. He might explode at any time.
When Bei Yutang’s figure appeared, his dark black eyes suddenly burst into a bright light.
She didn’t choose to escape.
Hughes’s eyebrows stretched unconsciously, and his thin lips outlined a shallow arc.
