"Mr. Zhou, hello, my name is Liu Mengqin. I was the one who picked up Xing Wan from the hospital last time. Xing Wan was drunk, and I couldn't get her home by myself. Are you free now? Could you help me take Xing Wan home?"
While Liu Mengqin was speaking on the phone, Lin Xing Wan's slurred words could still be heard.
"Okay, send me the address, and I'll be right there." Zhou Jinbai hung up the phone and suddenly stood up.
"You're leaving? No way! We hardly see each other!" Lu Shiyan, seeing his good brother about to leave, immediately tried to stop him.
"My future wife is drunk, and I need to pick her up." Zhou Jinbai said concisely, casting a deep look at Lu Shiyan and Bai Xiao.
Then, the man strode away.
It wasn't until Zhou Jinbai's figure disappeared that Lu Shiyan asked Bai Xiao in disbelief, "Did I see that right? The look Jinbai gave us just now, it was like he was mocking us?"
Bai Xiao finished his tea in one gulp. "Be more confident, remove the 'like.' I'm also heading back to the precinct to handle some matters."
Lu Shiyan: ???
Heh!
Next time I invite you guys, I'll be a dog!
By the time Zhou Jinbai arrived at the bar, he saw Liu Mengqin sitting in a booth with Lin Xing Wan leaning her head on her.
The strap of the woman's dress had slipped down, revealing her smooth, fair shoulders. Her long, dark hair was somewhat disheveled, and she was gazing at the three men sitting opposite them with alluring eyes.
Lin Xing Wan was smiling, her face flushed from the alcohol, exuding a pure yet seductive aura.
Just seeing this scene made Zhou Jinbai's blood pressure surge.
It had been a long time since he felt so angry that he wanted to punch someone.
"Miss, how about we exchange WeChat and hang out another day? I know this street well. From now on, just mention my name, and it'll be free."
"Yeah, let's exchange WeChat. Our Brother Zang is handsome and generous. Many girls want his contact information, but he doesn't give it out."
These men were leering at Lin Xing Wan. The woman's looks were impeccable, and her figure was even more alluring. Such a woman was truly a gem!
If they could have a good time with such a woman, they'd gladly die among the peonies, even as ghosts, they'd be romantic.
"Sorry, no WeChat," Liu Mengqin said, blocking the unwanted attention for Lin Xing Wan. These lecherous, perverted losers weren't even fit to carry Xing Wan's shoes.
Instead, Lin Xing Wan stared intently at them. "Wh-what? WeChat? You... you want to add WeChat?"
Her mind was incredibly confused right now, and it was especially difficult for her to understand what these people were saying.
"Yes, add WeChat. Miss, I'll scan you."
One of the men, ignoring Liu Mengqin, opened his WeChat scanner.
Just as Lin Xing Wan was about to pick up her phone, there was a 'snap,' and a black phone was thrown directly onto the table.
"If you want to add someone, add me."
A sharp, piercing voice fell from above. Everyone turned their gaze to the man who had spoken.
"Mr. Zhou!" Liu Mengqin saw Zhou Jinbai's expression and felt as if she had seen a savior.
If Zhou Jinbai hadn't arrived, Liu Mengqin would have started to worry if she could safely take Lin Xing Wan away tonight.
After all, bars were often frequented by ruffians, especially the group sitting opposite them. Their exposed arms were covered in sinister tattoos, and their faces were lecherous, giving off a chaotic vibe.
"Who are you?" The man called Brother Zang took out a cigarette, lit it, and casually tossed the pack onto the table. He glanced up at Zhou Jinbai with an extremely arrogant attitude.
"You're not qualified for me to explain myself to you."
After speaking, Zhou Jinbai's gaze fell on Lin Xing Wan. "I'll take her."
Liu Mengqin quickly made way, allowing Zhou Jinbai to pick Lin Xing Wan up from the booth.
*Clang—*
Brother Zang slammed his wine glass onto the floor, his expression extremely sinister. "Brat, the people who dare to speak to me, Zang Zixuan, like this these days are either lying in the hospital or have three feet of grass growing on their graves. Either you leave this woman here and kowtow to me three times; or... I'll have you walk in standing up and carried out horizontally."
After hearing Zang Zixuan's words, Liu Mengqin's face turned even paler with fear.
Even while holding Lin Xing Wan, Zhou Jinbai's eyes remained cold. He looked down at Zang Zixuan sitting in the booth, his expression unperturbed. "It seems I need to teach you how to behave."
Hearing this, Zang Zixuan laughed wildly, then his smile gradually froze into a threat. "Brat, tonight I'll make sure you see why the flowers are so red."
After speaking, Zang Zixuan picked up a wine bottle and lunged at Zhou Jinbai.
"Mr. Zhou, be careful—" Liu Mengqin screamed in fear.
Zhou Jinbai merely narrowed his eyes and kicked Zang Zixuan in the stomach.
Zang Zixuan was kicked back into the booth and then rolled off it.
"Ouch, my back... my stomach, it hurts so much! What are you looking at? Hurry up and help me."
Zang Zixuan grimaced in pain. He hadn't expected the young man in front of him to be so skilled, so fast, and his strength was so immense that it felt like his internal organs had been shattered.
"You dare to hit me? Damn it, I'll finish you tonight."
Zang Zixuan directly picked up his phone and called someone in front of Zhou Jinbai.
"Uncle Qin, I'm at the Chaos Bar right now. Someone has the audacity to beat me. Send some people over; I want to kill this bastard."
After hanging up, Zang Zixuan smugly said, "When Uncle Qin sends people, I'll break your hands and legs."
Zhou Jinbai looked indifferently at Zang Zixuan, who was acting like a monkey performing tricks in front of him. If it weren't for Liu Mengqin and Lin Xing Wan being by his side, he would have beaten him to a pulp long ago.
A true man, when he can use his fists, doesn't waste time with words.
However, he was worried that others might sneak attack Liu Mengqin and Lin Xing Wan while he was distracted.
Zhou Jinbai gently placed Lin Xing Wan back on the booth and took out his phone to send a text message to Bai Xiao: "Come to Chaos Bar, I've found a way to get your auxiliary police force a promotion."
After sending the message, Zhou Jinbai said to Liu Mengqin, "Sit by Xing Wan."
"Should we apologize?" Liu Mengqin was anxious. This group of people clearly looked trouble.
"Don't be afraid, it's nothing," Zhou Jinbai said calmly, without a trace of fear.
Liu Mengqin was very nervous at first, but for some reason, seeing Zhou Jinbai's calm demeanor, her fear gradually disappeared.
"You're still acting tough when death is at your doorstep. Cherish the time you still have as a whole person, because it won't last much longer."
Although Zang Zixuan kept shouting at Zhou Jinbai, there was still a distance between them.
As Zhou Jinbai walked towards him, Zang Zixuan flinched back in fear. "Wh-what do you want?"
"You still have a chance to escape now," Zhou Jinbai said, looking at the man trembling with fear, lazily raising an eyelid.
Zang Zixuan laughed heartily. "Do you think I'm scared easily? I'm telling you, I won't leave until I see you crippled with my own eyes today."
Zhou Jinbai smiled faintly. "Your idea is very 'criminal.'"
