"Rou'Er, I'm back!"
Xiao Feng slowly stood up, his husky voice was deeply magnetic.
And with that one call, "Rou'Er," the entire bar boiled over again.
That intimate term, only lovers would use it, right?
On the contrary, Liu Qingrou kept gazing at this young man, her eyes gentle as water, and even upon hearing that call, she showed no aversion. In fact, a look of happiness spread across her face.
Could it be...
"A-Feng, you're back!"
Not until Liu Qingrou accepted that call and handed the drink to Xiao Feng did everyone receive their final answer.
Liu Qingrou belonged to this young man!
For the past five years, Liu Qingrou had been singing "When Will You Return," thinking of this young man.
All of a sudden, those who had admired Liu Qingrou for years struggled to accept this fact, beginning to thump their chests and stamp their feet.
Even though they knew deep down they were undeserving of Liu Qingrou, it still felt as if their beloved was being snatched away.
Moreover, beyond being tall and handsome, this young man seemed to have nothing particularly special about him.
Why did Liu Qingrou fall for him specifically, why?!
"Finally, I can taste your fiery drink again!" Xiao Feng sighed, deeply moved.
Five years ago, he worked at Ye Lashan Bar, and Liu Qingrou treated him exceptionally well. Later, he discovered Liu Qingrou had feelings for him but was too shy to express them.
Until that incident happened, the night before he left Jiangcheng, Liu Qingrou gave herself to him...
That was also the first time he felt the tenderness of a woman!
"Liu Qingrou, Liu Qingrou, I've liked you for so long. Even when you ignored my affections, I could bear it. But I can't tolerate you having another man in your heart, especially in front of so many people. How can you tarnish my reputation, mine, Liao Qianying's?!"
Just as Xiao Feng was about to take the glass and pull Liu Qingrou into his embrace.
Suddenly, an exceedingly gruff and discordant voice, laden with anger, shattered the silence.
Everyone turned toward the voice to see a bald man with a mouthful of gold teeth sitting at the very center seat, with only one ear intact, as the other had been brutally sliced off.
It was indeed Brother Eagle!
Brother Eagle, whose real name was Liao Qianying, was currently a tyrant in the underground world of Jiangcheng!
Thus, two rows of men in black stood orderly behind him, making quite a spectacle!
That simple sentence from Liao Qianying immediately filled the air of the entire bar with the aura of death, so much so that no one dared to breathe too loudly.
Liao Qianying's affection for Liu Qingrou was common knowledge!
Precisely because of this, despite the many men who adored Liu Qingrou, no one dared cross the line due to their fear of Liao Qianying.
Otherwise, Ye Lashan Bar wouldn't have remained so peaceful over these past years.
But now, in front of Liao Qianying, Liu Qingrou was sweetly affectionate towards a young man. Could Liao Qianying tolerate that?
Liao Qianying's eyes were full of ruthlessness, and it seemed unlikely that young man would walk out of Ye Lashan alive tonight.
"Liao Qianying, you and I have never had anything to do with each other. It's always been one-sided on your part. So, whichever man I'm with is none of your business, and you can't control it!" A flicker of panic passed across Liu Qingrou's face, but her eyes were filled with defiance.
Crash!
Liao Qianying smashed the glass into pieces with a backhand.
That sound made everyone's hearts nearly leap out.
Liao Qianying was about to lose his temper.
Since Liu Qingrou wasn't giving him face, maybe Ye Lashan wouldn't exist anymore from now on.
"Liu Qingrou, am I giving you face here? Over the years, without my protection, your Ye Lashan would have been gone long ago. From the moment I protected you, you were destined to be my woman."
Liao Qianying loosened his collar, looking at Xiao Feng with grim menace, sneering, "Hey! That kid who came out of nowhere, come here and crawl under my legs, and I'll pretend nothing happened tonight and only cripple one of your legs!"
Liu Qingrou's delicate body trembled, knowing full well that Liao Qianying always meant what he said. And given Liao Qianying's current status, even if Xiao Feng had grown, he couldn't contend with him.
Just as Liu Qingrou racked her brains for a solution, unexpectedly, Xiao Feng swaggered over, stopped less than five meters from Liao Qianying, took a leisurely sip of his fiery drink, and, with a cheeky grin, said, "What if I don't crawl?"
"Don't crawl?" Liao Qianying seemed to have heard the joke of the century because scarcely anyone in all of Jiangcheng dared to defy him.
This was merely an obscure nobody!
Meanwhile, Liao Qianying also felt his authority had been challenged, mocking, "Simple—one word, die!"
Everyone drew a sharp breath, feeling death was indeed coming tonight.
That young man was fearless as a newborn calf; even crawling under Liao Qianying's legs and losing a leg was better than being killed.
But.
"Clarify, is it you who dies, or me?" Xiao Feng asked astonishingly.
Do you die, or do I die?
Man, do you not know who Liao Qianying is?
Then open your eyes wide and see that there are dozens of men standing behind Liao Qianying, each a tough fighter who can take on ten. Can you match that?
Laughably, even now, Xiao Feng still appeared composed and unperturbed.
"Haha!" Instead of getting angry, Liao Qianying laughed, "What do you think?"
Liao Qianying's words were like a command, and a brawny man who stood by his left stepped forward.
This brawny man was nearly six foot three tall, weighed around 330 pounds, and, standing next to an average person, resembled a small mountain, exerting pressure from several meters away.
Just sending this one man would be more than sufficient!
But Xiao Feng was completely unfazed, ignoring the brawny man walking towards him, continuing to look at Liao Qianying and saying, "Liao Qianying, five years ago you were just a lackey under Han Wangfu. What? Now that Han Wangfu is dead, have you taken his place? Quite a feat!"
Han Wangfu!
When Xiao Feng mentioned that name, the complexion of everyone in the bar changed.
In all of Jiangcheng, it's one thing not to know Liao Qianying, but not to know Han Wangfu would be sheer ignorance.
Even though Liao Qianying was now a kingpin in Jiangcheng's underworld, he was still far from what Han Wangfu was in his lifetime.
Han Wangfu was the kind of presence whose mere footstep would make the whole of Jiangcheng tremble!
Though Liao Qianying had indeed once worked under Han Wangfu, now that Han Wangfu was gone, there was a saying that people are forgotten once out of sight. Judging from Liao Qianying's various actions, he seemed quite averse to being linked with Han Wangfu anymore.
Now this young man not only mentioned Han Wangfu but also called Liao Qianying a lackey under Han Wangfu's command—truly insane!
Liu Qingrou was so scared she almost fainted.
"I want to tear you to pieces and scatter your bones and ashes!" Liao Qianying raged murderously.
"Hmph!" Xiao Feng remained unmoved, his eyes turned cold as he said, "Five years ago, I dared to storm into Han Wangfu's room with a knife. Five years later, what fear would I have of his lackey?!"
