As soon as Ye Qiu spoke, the two guards were momentarily stunned, then exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
One of the guards, who was a bit chubby, said, "Liu San, these days you get all sorts, huh? Opens his big mouth and wants us to call Luo Family's heiress out to meet him. Does he think he's the eldest son of the Ye Family?"
Liu San replied, "Haha, Old Wang, you're the one who loves reading urban novels the most. In those, some male protagonists love to play dumb and then surprise everyone with their hidden abilities. We two are just the low-IQ villains in those stories. Maybe this kid really is the eldest son of the Ye Family—can't wait for a potential face slap, ahaha, hahaha..."
"Yeah, yeah, we better not get face-slapped, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Liu San, you're such a jokester..." The chubby guard, Old Wang, clutched his belly, his face rippling with laughter.
Ye Qiu stood there, watching how the two guards have spun a drama from just his single sentence, feeling speechless. He thought to himself, "These guys really must have overdosed on mindless urban novels. Anyway, I'm not some Soldier King."
Shaking his head, Ye Qiu composed himself, coughed twice, and seeing the two guards looking at him, Ye Qiu said, "What I'm saying is..."
"No need to say it, Young Master. You want us to call Miss Luo out, don't you? If we don't, you might kill us or knock us out with a flying kick?"
Old Wang spoke as his smile gradually faded, and then waved seriously at Ye Qiu, "Remember, reality is reality. The plots in novels can't happen. You better leave. All the big shots are here today, be careful not to get spat on accidentally."
Liu San too spoke seriously, "You should leave quickly. Considering you're young, we won't argue with you. But if the real young lords of those big families see you blocking the entrance and get upset, you'd have no place to cry if they just dismiss you with a word. Kid, leave now. This isn't a place for you. Work hard if you want to come here someday."
"Uh..."
Watching the two guards, who seemed like drama queens, giving him a long lecture for saying nothing, Ye Qiu scratched his head and said, "I really do know Luo Bing. Just go inside and tell her, see if she'll come out and meet me!"
Seeing Ye Qiu ignoring the warning, Liu San's face turned ugly, "Kid, didn't want to listen nicely? Want to bet we'll beat you outta here?"
"Kid, this is your last chance to leave. Don't blame us for being impolite if you stay."
Beside him, Liu San pulled out a baton from behind, exchanged looks with Old Wang, then the two started moving towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering why these two were so stubborn. Seeing them approach menacingly, he thought to himself, "Sigh, is it gonna be a fight again?"
"Kid, aren't you getting lost?" Old Wang stepped up, scolding the stationary Ye Qiu.
Liu San also scolded, "Get lost quickly, or don't blame us if we bash your head in."
As he said this, seeing Ye Qiu still standing unmoved, Liu San angrily prepared to strike, when Old Wang suddenly shouted, "Wait..."
Liu San halted his baton mid-air, then looked curiously at Old Wang beside him, as did Ye Qiu.
Old Wang squinted, sizing up the calm and unmovable Ye Qiu standing there. He had a bad feeling and, hearing Liu San's inquiry, shook his hand, "This kid seems a bit off!"
"What's off, hit him and we'll know!" Liu San said.
Old Wang said, "No, no, this kid's definitely off."
He pulled Liu San back and said, "I think this kid is a Soldier King back from the army, now playing dumb. If we make a move, we'll definitely suffer badly."
"Uh!"
Liu San and Ye Qiu were both stunned. Ye Qiu felt speechless, being mistaken for a Soldier King—indeed, it seemed Old Wang read too many flashy urban novels.
Liu San, on the other hand, was stunned at his partner's naivety, but due to Old Wang's status, he dared not say much, only shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, try reading less of those low-IQ novels. You say he's a Soldier King, then if I attack him now, doesn't that make me the low-IQ villain?"
"No?" Old Wang shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Liu San asked.
Old Wang responded, "You're not a low-IQ villain. At least a low-IQ villain would have a longer plot, and the author would really think about naming them. But you, just a disposable character, you'd certainly die within a chapter with a random name the author came up with!"
"You..."
Liu San wanted to get angry, but remembering Old Wang's status, he swallowed his rage, took a deep breath, and looked at Ye Qiu, who was holding back laughter. He transferred all his anger to Ye Qiu.
"So I'm disposable? Fine, today this disposable character will rebel and take down the Soldier King..."
With that, Liu San swung his baton and charged at Ye Qiu.
Old Wang watched Ye Qiu, who remained motionless, and shook his head.
Bang.
Seeing Liu San, charging menacingly only to be sent flying by a punch from Ye Qiu, now lying on the ground wailing and spitting blood, Old Wang shook his head, "I told you you're disposable. Now you got beaten up!"
"Oh, Brother Wang, stop joking and call someone. This kid means to cause trouble at tonight's event. Even having people behind you won't help if something happens!"
What Liu San said made Old Wang startled, then he quickly took out his walkie-talkie, "Calling, calling, someone causing trouble at the main entrance, one of ours injured, strong opponent, requesting backup."
You have to admit these guards were efficient. In a flash, two or three dozen more security guards arrived, all wielding batons, and surrounded Ye Qiu.
Watching the alert guards around him, Ye Qiu felt speechless, thinking to himself, "Who have I offended? I just asked you to call someone. Is this necessary..."
"Kid, you dare injure our people? Tell me, are you here to cause trouble tonight?"
The security captain, about forty, big and burly, shouted at Ye Qiu.
"I was called over, and I just wanted them to call someone out..." Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders.
"Called here? Who called you?" The captain took a long look at Ye Qiu and asked.
"Haha, this kid said he was called here by the Luo Family's heiress, Miss Luo Bing, and wanted us to call her out to meet him!"
The beaten Liu San said.
As soon as Liu San spoke, everyone froze for a moment, then erupted into hearty laughter, all staring at Ye Qiu.
