Zhao Xiaohui asked the waiter to bring the drinks menu, handed it to Xu Chunliang, and said loudly, "What are you going to drink? It's on me!"
Xu Chunliang pointed to himself, indicating he should treat this time as he promised to buy Zhao Xiaohui a drink but hadn't done so yet. The menu was filled with exotic and strange names, and Xu Chunliang had no idea what to choose, so he asked Zhao Xiaohui to help him pick one.
Zhao Xiaohui noticed that Xu Chunliang probably didn't come to bars often, so she ordered him a glass of Glenfiddich 26-year single malt whisky.
Xu Chunliang tried a sip. Though it had a peculiar taste, it wasn't too bad. He occasionally glanced at the dance floor, looking for his cousins.
Zhao Xiaohui said, "Looking for someone?"
Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "My cousin and his friends arrived before me, but I can't see them."
Zhao Xiaohui laughed, "With so many people and all this chaos, but anyone who comes here eventually ends up dancing." She invited Xu Chunliang to dance.
Xu Chunliang shook his head, indicating he had no clue about dancing.
Zhao Xiaohui said, "It's simple. Aren't you looking for someone? Go inside and take a look."
Xu Chunliang thought this was a good suggestion. Dancing seemed to be just a mix of shaking heads and twitching, which didn't seem too difficult, so he followed Zhao Xiaohui into the dance floor.
Zhao Xiaohui swayed sensuously to the rhythm, and Xu Chunliang felt like he had stepped into the Flower Sect's Phantom Maze array, surrounded by bewildered men and women dancing wildly.
Two heavily made-up women launched an attack on him; Xu Chunliang stepped forward, using the Snake Swimming in the River move from the Spiritual Snake Eight Steps to dodge.
Zhao Xiaohui was swaying her body ahead, heading straight for his chest. Xu Chunliang executed a Golden Snake Wrapping his Body, slipping past Zhao Xiaohui's side, navigating through the narrow gap to her back.
That was close! Luckily, I have my footwork for protection.
A Great Han behind him made an exaggerated forward thrust with his hips. Xu Chunliang shivered inwardly, quickly executing a Furious Python Writhing, propelling himself forward just in time to evade the Great Han's ambush.
Zhao Xiaohui danced ecstatically ahead, and Xu Chunliang's thrust nearly caused a collision. He swiftly adapted, executing another Golden Snake Wrapping his Body, slipping from Zhao Xiaohui's left side to her front, his movements smooth and fluid.
Just stepping onto the dance floor, he was forced to use three footwork techniques. Impressive! Impressive!
Zhao Xiaohui clenched her fists, pressing against her chest while shaking them continuously, shouting, "Aren't you dancing quite well?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head, indicating he couldn't. At this moment, he spotted his cousin Liang Linan, who was in the middle of the dance floor, swaying passionately, completely unlike his usual gentle and refined elite image.
Du Yunqiang was also nearby, surrounded by a few girls, all friends brought by Du Yunqiang, with Liang Lixin dancing not far away.
Xu Chunliang didn't see his cousin Zhen Chun, so he used the Spiritual Snake Eight Steps to weave through the crowd, gradually approaching Liang Linan, with Zhao Xiaohui following along, jumping and moving forward.
Liang Linan was dancing happily when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He turned to look and saw it was Xu Chunliang.
Liang Linan nodded to him, noticing Xu Chunliang was accompanied by a pretty girl. Liang Linan felt a new admiration for his little cousin. Although he wasn't very educated and didn't have a great job, his luck with women was extraordinary.
Not to mention Mei Ru Xue, the kind of beauty that could bring about disaster, even the woman by his side was charming and alluring enough to outshine any Dongzhou socialite Du Yunqiang could bring along.
Xu Chunliang loudly asked Liang Linan about Zhen Chun's whereabouts. Liang Linan initially thought Zhen Chun was with his sister, but upon being asked, he realized Zhen Chun was missing. They were too busy enjoying themselves to notice where Zhen Chun had gone.
Liang Linan then asked his cousin Liang Lixin, who said Zhen Chun was there moments ago, probably went to the restroom, assuring him not to worry as generally nothing would happen in a public place.
Xu Chunliang decided to check near the restroom. As soon as he entered the corridor leading to the restroom, it quieted down considerably. In the dim lighting, many young couples were passionately kissing by the side of the corridor, their hands exploring each other.
Xu Chunliang frowned, thinking in the past, such indecent behavior would surely get people arrested. His grandfather was right; this was no good place.
Zhao Xiaohui also followed along, calling out to him from behind, "Xu Chunliang, who are you looking for?"
Xu Chunliang said, "My cousin."
Upon reaching the restroom entrance, they didn't see the two girls. Zhao Xiaohui went inside to look, calling out for Zhen Chun, but got no response.
Xu Chunliang was a bit confused. He had been there for a while, searched inside and out, but still didn't see the two girls. Could they have gone home first?
At this point, two men came out of the men's restroom. One of them was examining the scratches on his neck in the mirror. He had a blue wolf head tattooed on his neck, and it looked like someone had scratched him, leaving a bloody mark. The short, stocky man beside him joked, "Need a rabies shot?"
The man cursed, "What a damn bad luck. That chick was wild and scratched me. If it were up to me, I'd break her fingers."
The short, stocky man said, "Young Master Tang likes them wild. That's what you call a rare find! Hahaha!"
"What beauties aren't there in Nanjiang? He's something, really, that chick is fierce as a wolfdog. What's so great about that?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took heed. Xu Chunliang became vigilant, following the two men, watching them enter the VIP area. Xu Chunliang quickly tried to follow them.
Zhao Xiaohui sensed something was amiss, hurriedly catching up and grabbing Xu Chunliang's arm, "Don't just head in there." She pointed to the security guard at the entrance. Without a reservation, they would definitely be stopped. Xu Chunliang clearly didn't know the rules here.
Xu Chunliang said, "I'm looking for someone."
Zhao Xiaohui sighed, "I'll go! Let me see the photo."
Xu Chunliang found a photo of Zhen Chun on his phone to show her. Zhao Xiaohui took a deep breath, puffed out her chest, and walked towards the VIP area, only to be stopped by security at the entrance.
Zhao Xiaohui said, "Young Master Tang invited me." She had overheard the conversation between the two just now.
The security guard didn't suspect anything. Zhao Xiaohui followed the two straight to the largest Room 888. She had been here before, so she was familiar with the layout.
Zhao Xiaohui pushed open the door to Room 888, and everyone inside was startled, all eyes turned to this unexpected guest.
Zhao Xiaohui covered her mouth as if to vomit: "I'm sorry, wrong room... uh..."
She had already spotted a familiar face, likely the person Xu Chunliang was looking for. The girl was being forced to drink while someone grabbed her hair.
Zhao Xiaohui hurriedly retreated, the young man forcing the drink had his smile frozen on his face. He gave a signal, and the man with a neck tattoo immediately followed her out.
"Hey!"
Zhao Xiaohui heard the man calling her and was frightened enough to take off running. The man shouted, "Stop right there!" and quickly pursued her from behind.
Xu Chunliang was waiting outside, and Zhao Xiaohui ran to him, hiding behind him. Xu Chunliang looked at the tattooed man.
The man looked at Xu Chunliang with disdain: "Get the hell out of my way!"
Zhao Xiaohui, still shaken, said, "She's inside."
At this moment, Liang Linan, Liang Lixin, and others also arrived. Liang Linan asked, "What's going on?"
Xu Chunliang said, "Zhen Chun was taken by this group of people."
Du Yunqiang got angry, as he was the one who invited the person. He felt humiliated and rushed up to grab the man's collar, only to be punched in the face by the man.
Du Yunqiang fell straight to the ground; he was really no match.
Xu Chunliang walked inside, the man swung a punch at Xu Chunliang's chin. Xu Chunliang dodged and swiftly grabbed the man's left ear with his right hand, then punched him twice in the face.
Once a person's ear is controlled, the whole body is restrained. The man instantly became Xu Chunliang's puppet, dragged inside by him.
The security guard saw the bad situation and quickly came over to intercept, but Xu Chunliang glared at the security guard: "Get out of the way!" The guard was intimidated by his presence and quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie to call for backup.
Liang Linan helped Du Yunqiang up. Du Yunqiang, holding his nose, said, "Don't worry about me... go quickly..."
Several people arrived together at Room 888, and Xu Chunliang kicked the door open.
Zhao Xiaohui reached out to turn on all the light switches nearby, and the private room was suddenly brightly lit.
Zhen Chun was being forced to drink with her hair being yanked. Because she refused to drink, she was doused in alcohol, and her makeup was smeared from crying.
Liang Linan got angry: "Let go of my sister!"
The Young Master Tang, who was holding Zhen Chun's hair, laughed and released her hair.
Zhen Chun pushed him away and ran towards the door. Someone deliberately extended a foot, causing Zhen Chun to trip and fall heavily because she was running too fast.
Liang Lixin quickly went over to help her up.
Liang Linan said, "You're illegally detaining someone. I'm going to sue you!"
A group of people burst into laughter. Young Master Tang took a puff of his cigar and said dismissively, "We're just inviting this lady for a drink, without any coercion. She came in on her own. Go ahead and call the police. I haven't done anything illegal or wrong. There are plenty of people here who can testify for me!"
The group nodded in agreement.
Liang Lixin quietly asked Zhen Chun if she was hurt. Zhen Chun shook her head, just her hair hurting from being pulled.
Liang Linan thought they should leave first and report to the police later. With a dozen or so people on the other side, they might not fare well in a confrontation. But before they could leave, two Great Han had already closed the door behind them.
Young Master Tang slowly stood up: "We were having a good time drinking here, and you suddenly barged in and beat up my people. I'm the one who should call the police!"
Du Yunqiang's nose was still bleeding, and he said while holding his nose, "I've already called the police, so don't do anything reckless."
Six fierce Great Han had stood up from the sofa.
Xu Chunliang, holding the ear of the tattooed man, calmly said, "The one who hit you? How did they hit you? Was it like this?" He raised his left hand and slapped the man crisply across the face.
