Chapter 51 Bar Altercation (1)
Xu Yi frowned. "Who are you? How do you know this phone number?"
What the hell? Didn’t he just purchase black market encryption services? How come it couldn’t even block harassing calls?
Damn it! Worthless feature, and it swindled him out of four million yuan.
This time, he had to get his money back.
Unexpectedly, the other party was even more impatient, shouting, "Damn it! Stop whining! Are you even a man? Don’t ask how I got your number. The point is, your girlfriend is in danger right now!"
"If you don’t show up soon, your girlfriend will run off with someone else. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Xu Yi was speechless. "I don’t even have a girlfriend, okay?"
"Is that so?" The voice turned icy. "Scumbag! Don’t tell me you don’t know Yang Tingting?"
Xu Yi was stunned, quickly asking, "What do you mean? What happened to Yang Tingting?"
The voice sneered, "What, suddenly nervous? She’s at the Sonic Bar in Jing’an District. If you’re not there within thirty minutes, I won’t be able to help."
With that, the call abruptly ended.
Xu Yi held the phone, pondering for a moment. After some thought, he was certain this wasn’t a trap set by the Zhao family. He immediately grabbed a jacket and hurried out.
Lately, Xu Yi had avoided seeing Yang Tingting because he didn’t know how to face her or handle their complicated relationship.
But now, it was clear Yang Tingting was in trouble, and he absolutely couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
After all, she was his woman!
He started the engine, flooring it toward the bar!
Among the five districts of Donghai City, if Jiangtai District was the hub for emerging industries and finance, and Gulou District the old city and cultural center, then Jing’an District was the entertainment heart of Donghai.
It housed the city’s busiest shopping streets, the most entertainment venues, and bars. The area drew the most energetic young men and women, as well as many disillusioned youths. It was the most bustling nightlife district of Donghai City—a breeding ground for decadence and decay.
While the other four districts had already drifted into slumber, the night in Jing’an was just beginning.
When Xu Yi arrived at the entrance of Sonic Bar, it was already 2 a.m., and the street was filled with young people out for a stroll.
Inside the bar, thunderous music roared.
Xu Yi frowned, got out of his car, and rushed inside.
"Sorry, sir! Our bar requires men to pay a table fee before entering," a male greeter blocked the door first.
Not wanting trouble, Xu Yi took out his phone and asked, "How much?"
The greeter smiled and showed a QR code. "Is this your first time here? We have three tiers of service. If you..."
Xu Yi frowned, short on time. "Just tell me the most expensive price, straight up."
Hearing this, the greeter knew a big spender had arrived and eagerly said, "Brother, the priciest is to get a membership card. If you recharge 100,000 yuan, you’ll get a VIP card, which grants you VIP treatment and a reserved VIP seat anytime."
Without listening to the rest of the spiel, Xu Yi directly transferred 100,000 yuan and headed inside.
"Brother, don’t rush! I’m Xiao Ke, I’ll show you around!" the greeter called after him and quickly followed.
Inside, the music was even louder and more deafening. Xu Yi instantly frowned.
Suppressing his discomfort, he quickly scanned the room, searching for Yang Tingting.
Soon, a crowded VIP booth caught his eye.
Activating his vision enhancement, Xu Yi saw through multiple layers of people and spotted Yang Tingting.
She was seated inside, wearing a black, sexy off-shoulder top. Her long legs, clad in black stockings, looked irresistibly alluring.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, eyes glazed over—clearly she had drunk quite a bit.
Xu Yi frowned and hurried toward the booth.
"Come on! This beauty sure can hold her liquor! Brother, I’m toasting you!" a handsome young man with a Korean-style parted hairstyle raised two glasses, offering one to Yang Tingting.
Several men nearby shamelessly ogled Yang Tingting with lascivious expressions.
Yang Tingting, clearly intoxicated, accepted the drink without hesitation and was about to raise it to her lips.
"Enough!"
At that moment, a red-haired beauty in a leather skirt and boots stepped forward, snatching the drink from Yang Tingting’s hand.
She glared at the men, "She’s already drunk. You’re still trying to force her to drink? What the hell do you think you’re doing?"
The man’s face darkened as he coldly replied, "Ding Xue! What are you doing? I’m just having fun here. Don’t cause trouble. Mind your own business!"
Ding Xue sneered, "Having fun? You men are desperately trying to get a woman drunk? Wang Yu, don’t think I don’t know your intentions."
Wang Yu scowled, stood up, and snapped, "Fuck! Ding Xue, are you crazy? The beauty hasn’t even said a word, yet you’re running your mouth. Who the hell do you think you are?"
He smirked wickedly, "You say you know what I want? Then say it. Heh, are you jealous because you don’t want to share me?"
"Don’t worry, Ding Xue, I don’t mind. Tonight, maybe a threesome..."
Before he could finish, Ding Xue splashed her drink right into his face.
"Screw you! Take a good look in the mirror—you’re hardly in a position to make dirty jokes!"
She slammed the glass down and grabbed the intoxicated Yang Tingting to leave.
"Stop!"
Wang Yu yelled, and his henchmen immediately blocked their way.
"Fuck! Ding Xue, you crazy bitch! I’ve put up with you for a long time. You really think no one dares to touch you? Damn it! Today I’ll teach you a lesson! You won’t take this woman, and you won’t leave either. I’m finishing this here and now!"
His gang closed in, surrounding the booth tightly.
Ding Xue’s face went pale. She tried to break through but was surrounded by men. Supporting Yang Tingting, she retreated step by step, eventually collapsing back onto the booth seat.
"Wang Yu! What do you think you’re doing? If you come any closer in public, I’ll call the police!"
She pulled out her phone.
Wang Yu stepped forward, snatched the phone, and smashed it on the ground.
"Damn it! Today I’m going to deal with you. Even the big boss won’t save you."
Ding Xue’s face turned deathly pale. She glared fiercely, "This is Long Ge’s turf. If you cause trouble here, Long Ge won’t let you off."
Wang Yu laughed scornfully, "Long Ge? Just a dog raised by the Wang family. Even if he’s missing, or if he’s here, I’d do what I want right in front of him and he wouldn’t dare fart!"
He began unbuckling his belt, leering at Ding Xue.
"Heh, now you better decide—are you going to accompany me first, or that little beauty?"
Ding Xue’s face darkened. She said nothing but subtly reached behind her back and grasped a hidden beer bottle, ready.
At that moment—
Suddenly, a champagne bottle flew from above, striking Wang Yu squarely on the head.
"Ah!!"
Wang Yu clutched his head in pain, blood oozing, and shouted angrily, "Who the hell did that? Come out now!"
The entire bar fell silent; those previously lost in dancing all stepped back, wary of provoking Wang Yu’s wrath.
Xu Yi then stepped forward, expressionless, and calmly said, "That was for you. Shameless beast! You dared to lay a hand on my woman. You’re asking for death!"
