Chen Mo immediately intervened, grabbing Xu Jia's wrist and forcefully twisting her arm, effectively restraining her.
Xu Jia cried out in pain, still hurling insults: "I can't believe the men in this small town are so violent! I'll have my brother arrest all of you!"
"You're the one who started the physical assault, and now you're playing the victim!" Chen Shui said, her face filled with anger.
Jiang Tong, seeing Xu Jia restrained, couldn't just stand by and said to Chen Mo, "You're going too far bullying a girl like this! Let her go first! We can discuss everything else later!"
Chen Mo, however, did not loosen his grip. "She was about to hit my sister. Do I care whether she's male or female? Should I wait until she actually slaps my sister before I take action?"
Jiang Tong was taken aback by Chen Mo's defiance, her expression turning sour. "You heard her; her brother is in the military. Do you really want to invite trouble?"
