"Tongwei, don't bother with them." Zhang Long pulled Qi Tongwei, "Our mission is to protect Cuicui, not to quarrel with these people."
Qi Tongwei felt very surprised by Zhang Long's words. He looked at Zhang Long with doubts and unwillingness in his eyes. In his opinion, Cuicui had suffered enough, and now she had to face these groundless rumors, which was really unbearable.
"Brother Long, are we just going to let this go? Allow these people to slander Cuicui?" Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth, flames of anger burning in his eyes.
Zhang Long sighed and said, "Tongwei, I know you feel bad, but we can't be swayed by emotions. Our mission is to protect Cuicui, not to get entangled with these people here. If we continue to conflict with them, it will only make things worse."
Qi Tongwei could not accept Zhang Long's statement. He felt that his dignity was greatly challenged, and he could not tolerate these people who looked down on Cuicui and their efforts. "No, Brother Long! I can't let this go. These people must pay for their actions. If we don't take action, they will think we are easy to bully and will continue to hurt Cuicui in the future."
Qi Tongwei was filled with anger and resentment. He decided to defend his dignity and fight this man to the end. His eyes became firm and resolute, like an enraged lion. "Even if I have to burn down or smash the restaurant, I must let them know that it is absolutely not allowed to hurt Cuicui."
Zhang Long looked at Qi Tongwei's angry expression and felt very conflicted. He understood Qi Tongwei's feelings, but he also knew that the consequences of doing so would be very serious. "Tongwei, calm down. This will not only bring us trouble, but may also hurt more people. We can't make the wrong decision because of a momentary impulse."
However, Qi Tongwei no longer listened to Zhang Long's advice. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to make those people pay the price. He turned and walked towards the restaurant with firm and powerful steps.
Zhang Long hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Qi Tongwei. "Tongwei, don't be impulsive. We can think of other ways to solve the problem. We don't have to use such extreme methods."
Qi Tongwei shook off Zhang Long's hand and said, "Brother Long, don't stop me. I have made up my mind. Today I will let them know how powerful I am."
Qi Tongwei rushed into the restaurant, and those who had just laughed at them retreated in fear when they saw Qi Tongwei's angry look. Qi Tongwei's eyes swept over everyone, and his eyes were full of anger and majesty.
"You guys, today I will make you pay for your actions." Qi Tongwei said loudly.
Everyone in the restaurant was panicking and didn't know what to do. Some tried to persuade Qi Tongwei, but Qi Tongwei wouldn't listen. He walked up to the man who had just fought with him and grabbed him by the collar.
"Aren't you very arrogant? Why are you silent now?" Qi Tongwei glared at the man.
The man turned pale with fear and stammered, “I…I was wrong. Please, don’t be impulsive.”
Qi Tongwei sneered and said, "Do you know you're wrong now? It's too late!" He raised his fist and was about to hit him, but was stopped by Zhang Long again.
"Tongwei, you can't do this. It will only make things worse." Zhang Long said anxiously.
Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Long, his eyes filled with pain and anger. "Brother Long, are we just going to swallow our anger? Cuicui has suffered so much, but they are still laughing at her. I can't let them bully us like this."
Zhang Long held Qi Tongwei's hand tightly and said, "Tongwei, I know you feel bad, but we can't solve the problem with violence. We can protect Cuicui through legal means and let those people receive the punishment they deserve."
After hearing what Zhang Long said, Qi Tongwei's anger subsided a little. He knew that Zhang Long was right, but he still couldn't let it go. "Brother Long, what should we do now?"
Zhang Long thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave here first and go to the police station to report the case. Tell the police what happened today and let them handle it. We can't let these people get away with it."
Qi Tongwei nodded. Although he was still a little unwilling, he also knew that Zhang Long's method was the best choice at the moment. They let go of the man and turned to leave the restaurant.
On the way to the police station, Qi Tongwei was still in a very heavy mood. He thought of the suffering Cuicui had suffered and the indifference and ruthlessness of those people, and his heart was filled with anger and helplessness.
"Brother Long, why is this world so unfair? Cuicui is so kind, yet she has to suffer such torture. And those bad guys can get away with it and even laugh at others." Qi Tongwei said with emotion.
Zhang Long patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said, "Tongwei, there are indeed many unfair things in this world, but we cannot give up because of this. We must believe that justice will eventually defeat evil. As long as we persist, we will be able to get justice for Cuicui."
He knows very well that there are indeed many unfair things in this world, but they cannot give up because of that.
Zhang Long spoke slowly, with a hint of vicissitudes in his voice: "Tongwei, the road of life is never smooth. We will encounter all kinds of unfairness and see many things that make people sad. But we cannot be defeated by these setbacks. We must believe that justice will eventually defeat evil."
Zhang Long's eyes became distant, as if he was lost in memories. "I have also experienced many things in the past that I cannot bear to look back on. Once upon a time, I was like you, young and hot-tempered, and wanted to fight against injustice in the most intense way. But later I found that this often made things worse."
He paused and continued, "Once, I saw an old man being bullied by a group of thugs. I was so angry that I rushed up and started fighting with them. As a result, I was injured and the old man was not really protected. Later I realized that impulse cannot solve the problem. We need to use a more rational method to deal with it."
Zhang Long looked at Qi Tongwei with his eyes full of expectation. "Tongwei, there are indeed many different opportunities in life, but there are also many traps. We cannot be swayed by momentary emotions, and we must learn to analyze and judge calmly. Just like what happened to Cuicui this time, we cannot just rely on anger to solve it, we must rely on the law and the power of justice."
