Luo Zhengkai's band was originally scheduled to perform second, but before going on stage, he discovered that the band's guitarist had an upset stomach. Upon learning this, Ye Cang stepped in without hesitation.
Although it was Ye Cang's first time working with their band, they cooperated very well.
When they went on stage, there were many Chinese students in the audience who supported Luo Zhengkai. At first, they didn't realize what was happening, but then someone recognized Ye Cang and excitedly shouted. Now, almost everyone knew.
Ye Cang's rise to fame in the United States holds a special significance for these international students.
They didn't dare disturb each other, so they could only suppress their excitement and take out their phones to take pictures.
Luo Zhengkai sang Ye Cang's "The World After Death". Before Nick promoted "Rebirth", Shen Huai uploaded videos of Ye Cang singing these two songs to YouTube. "The World After Death" was very popular.
It was a song Ye Cang was familiar with, and he performed it with even more ease.
Unexpectedly, the fans of the previous band were immediately unhappy. They had called for an encore, but they didn't ask the band to return, which was the rule of the bar; each band had a fixed duration and couldn't go over time.
Regular customers know the rules, but this band is new, and these fans are here for the first time. They are used to the old routine, so when their requests weren't met, they became dissatisfied.
So while Luo Zhengkai was singing, they kept making a lot of noise, laughing and making strange noises.
Shen Huai and Nick both frowned.
Joseph hadn't expected this to happen, and his face immediately darkened. He took several of the bar's bodyguards and went to talk to the other party.
Unexpectedly, before he even got there, something unexpected happened. The group of Chinese students seemed unable to tolerate it. When someone told them to be quiet, the group laughed and even gave him the middle finger.
The Chinese students couldn't hold back either and immediately started cursing.
It's unclear who started it, but someone suddenly overturned a table, and the loud noise startled the guests nearby, who screamed.
The two groups immediately became one.
An unexpected incident occurred at the scene, and things quickly descended into chaos.
Many people screamed and ran out of the bar, and screams and sounds of beatings could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
The bar area was also affected. When Ye Cang realized something was wrong, he jumped off the stage and tried to pull Shen Huai away, but he bumped into a thug who was in a rage and threw a bottle at Ye Cang without any regard for the consequences.
Ye Cang turned to dodge, but the man rushed over. Seeing this, Ye Cang stopped dodging and grabbed a stick from the side to fight the man.
He wasn't a law-abiding person in his past life. He even studied martial arts and grappling. After being reborn, he was given a new body. He had almost lost his original reaction and strength, but his skills remained. In addition, he has been working out diligently recently, so there have been some results.
Seeing that Ye Cang looked harmless, the man initially thought he was an easy target, but he was unexpectedly beaten to the ground. His companions saw this and rushed over with shouts.
Ye Cang frowned, but his fighting spirit was ignited. He didn't think about running away. He just stretched his neck, weighed the stick in his hand, and beckoned to the person opposite him.
Upon seeing this, the man yelled and was about to rush over when he suddenly froze, then fell forward, startling his companion.
Ye Cang himself was startled, thinking he had developed some kind of special ability.
But then he saw Shen Huai standing behind that man.
Shen Huai's expression was indifferent, yet it seemed different from usual. The corners of his lips appeared to be slightly upturned, an unusual smile that almost completely changed his demeanor.
He slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, coldly looking at the men who were beating Ye Cang, as if mocking them: "One, or all of them?"
Ye Cang had never seen Shen Huai like this before, and was immediately stunned.
Those people were furious at Shen Huai's attitude and rushed forward in a swarm.
Shen Huai looked refined and gentle, but his actions were extremely ruthless. He must have received professional training; his movements were concise and sharp. Compared to those who had no method, he even evoked the word "elegance."
Ye Cang also came to his senses and rushed into the battle to help him.
Shen Huai looked refined, but he was extremely ruthless, almost always targeting vulnerable areas such as the nose, chest, throat, and groin. Ye Cang looked agile, but he was no pushover either. With a single twist, he could render his opponent incapacitated, leaving them only able to lie on the ground screaming in agony.
The two worked together quite well, and they beat the group of people so badly they were screaming in pain.
The two looked exceptionally thin and frail in comparison to the group of tall and strong foreigners, but no one could hit them; in fact, they were all eventually beaten to a pulp.
Luo Zhengkai, hiding in a corner, gaped in astonishment when he saw Shen Huai's actions.
"He, he is... Oh my god!!"
Fortunately, Joseph's bar was quite well-known, and he had a good relationship with the police, so the police arrived quickly.
But at this moment, there weren't many people left standing in the entire bar.
Police officer: "Joseph, were those two Chinese people the ones causing trouble?"
Joseph: "...No, it's the pile lying on the ground."
police:"???"
Regardless, with the bar's surveillance video and Joseph and Nick's assurances, the police were finally convinced that Shen Huai and Ye Cang were not causing trouble, but rather acting bravely to help others.
While the police were arresting everyone on the ground, Ye Cang quickly went to Shen Huai's side and asked worriedly, "How are you? Are you alright?"
He remembered that someone attacked him from behind, and Shen Huai blocked it for him. He didn't know how badly Shen Huai was injured.
Shen Huai slowly calmed his breathing and whispered, "It's alright."
If the situation weren't so inappropriate, Ye Cang would have loved to immediately strip him of his clothes and check his injuries.
Shen Huai was about to say something.
Luo Zhengkai, who was standing nearby, rushed over excitedly: "I didn't mistake you! You are Satan, right!"
Ye Cang: "What the hell???"
