The six of them spotted all the men standing on the vehicle with clubs and immediately took to their heels. They had plenty of experience with this sort of thing.
If you couldn't beat them, run!
They sprinted straight toward the nearby alley. Without even looking at the lantern-hung shops, they shoved open a door and rushed inside.
Two of the men with clubs charged in after them. The ladies panicked, and the madam stepped forward, only to be shoved aside.
The tiny shop descended into chaos. Ye Yaodong darted around the curtained massage beds, while the customers inside panicked too, cursing up a storm.
A man raised his club to bring it down on his head. He immediately ducked and dodged aside, then grabbed a frightened lady in the corner and shoved her into the man's arms, evading the madam's clutches as well.
He also yanked down a curtain and flung it over the face of another man charging at him with a raised club, then rolled over a massage bed and dashed outside.
He felt a little excited. As he ran, he glanced back. All around him was an uproar, with the ladies and their customers running out in disheveled clothes.
Thinking back to when he had run out, he had even heard thumping footsteps from upstairs next door. What a thrill~
"Dongzi, wait for me..."
He slowed and looked back. A-Guang and A-Zheng had also taken a tour inside and run out, with two club-wielding men behind them. The others had all been held up by the red-light district's ladies and madams.
"Fuck, turn around and get them! There are only two!"
After shouting, Ye Yaodong changed direction and charged straight at them. The other two glanced behind them and immediately caught on.
"Motherfucking hell!"
"Get them!"
