Chapter 1067: Chapter 1066 I Believe!
Hao Jian was speechless.
“It’s not a rule that you have to bring troubles into a bar. They co to bars just to seek pleasure…”
As he spoke, Hao Jian pointed to a man and woman in the dance floor, wildly twisting their waists and hips. After a passionate kiss, they hugged and walked out of the bar.
“Or perhaps to drown their sorrows.”
A middle-aged man with a weary face was drinking brandy cup after cup, and it’s the strong kind too. His beard seed like it hadn’t been shaved for over a month, and his clothes were scruffy.
“What about you?”
Li Wen touched her lips. This young man was quite interesting. There were people like Hao Jian who said such things before, but it was just a trick to flirt with girls, not worth ntioning.
However, Hao Jian gave the impression of being wise, like a sage. After all, she dropped out of university due to so things, and having stayed in this bar for so long, she had so discernnt.
His eyes were pure, without any desire. Even when he saw her, he only showed a little amazent before displaying a smile that felt like a spring breeze.
“…”
Scratching his head, Hao Jian couldn’t quite determine why he ca here tonight. If it was for drinking, he could easily find better drinks in a hotel. If it was for letting off steam, he wasn’t troubled.
The only thing left was…
“Hehe, I ca to look at won.”
“This…”
Surprised by the answer, Li Wen’s mouth slightly agape, then her eyes curved slightly, revealing a smile, “I believe you.”
“If you believe it, then why are you still smiling?”
Hao Jian looked playfully at Li Wen, pinched her chin, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll make a move on you right now? After all, this happens quite often in bars, you know.”
“If you dare, I will too!”
Li Wen raised her head, eyes suddenly shimring, puffed up her chest towards Hao Jian like a proud hen, “Dare you touch it?!”
But when she said this, Li Wen’s pretty face was already flushed, thankfully the dim lighting in the bar provided cover, otherwise Hao Jian would have seen right through it.
Her heart was pounding like a fawn, she rarely felt so bold like tonight. Even though she was one of the beauties of the bar, countless n who deed themselves gentlen had confessed to her, but she rejected them all. After all, they were two-faced.
“Hehe.”
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian let out a strange laugh, then slowly reached out his hand towards Li Wen’s soft place. Seeing his actions, Li Wen was startled but since she had said it, she couldn’t back down. Her heart was filled with stubbornness, deliberately puffing up her softness as if anticipating the arrival of Hao Jian’s hands.
Closer…closer…
As Hao Jian’s hands approached, Li Wen’s pretty face gradually showed unnatural expressions. When the distance was only five centiters, her eyes began to show panic, and she wanted to dodge, but…
“Haha, got scared, huh?”
Just three centiters away from her softness, those hands suddenly withdrew like lightning, followed by a playful voice.
“I didn’t expect your patience to be so good, I originally thought you’d dodge away when it was five centiters away…” Hao Jian touched his nose, this test put him in a sowhat awkward situation.
If he went ahead, he’d beco the frivolous person in Li Wen’s eyes. If he didn’t, he’d lose the bet, neither outco was what he wanted, so he tried to push Li Wen away.
But unfortunately, he still lost…
“I knew you wouldn’t dare!”
Li Wen glanced at Hao Jian with an unchanged face, a slight contempt in her tone.
In her heart though, there was a burst of fear. At that mont, she truly didn’t dare move at all, or rather, was scared stiff, otherwise she would have dodged away.
Thump thump thump!
At this mont, her heart was beating rapidly again, and her pretty face was even redder than before.
“Doo doo doo…”
Hao Jian scratched his head, just about to tease Li Wen so more when suddenly a phone ringtone interrupted the sowhat ambiguous atmosphere.
“I’ll answer a call.”
Saying this, Li Wen imdiately took out her phone from her pocket, gave Hao Jian a slight smile, then answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Li Wen’s expression changed slightly, turning somber, and a hint of chill suddenly appeared in her shimring eyes.
“I’ll co over right away, don’t ss around!”
After saying this, Li Wen grabbed the bag next to her, gave Hao Jian an apologetic smile, and said, “I have sothing urgent and can’t accompany you. The drinks you’re having tonight aren’t ones I recomnded. Next ti you co, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
“Oh… alright…”
It was a private matter, and Hao Jian felt embarrassed to inquire further. He nodded, and even in the dim lighting, Li Wen’s urgency was apparent.
Though he wanted to ask what was going on, he didn’t want to act ungraciously. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, why should he, a stranger in this situation, intrude?
“Thank you…”
Seeing Hao Jian agree, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Hao Jian was the first man she felt comfortable with after starting work at the bar, and she didn’t want her urgent matter to make him unwilling to return here…
“Hmm… what could be so urgent…”
Watching Li Wen’s retreating figure, Hao Jian rubbed his chin, looked at the half-full Martini in his hand, and, after a mont of contemplation, gulped it down in one go.
“Forget it, given that I felt good chatting with you, I’ll help you this ti!” In fact, Hao Jian was usually lazy about getting involved in unrelated matters. He was even more uninterested in things that didn’t concern him. But after their conversation, he felt they’d established a connection—a casual friendship—and by his principles, he had to help!
Moreover, he’d been at the bar for over half an hour and found nothing of interest. Rather than staying, maybe following her could lead to sothing entertaining.
“Spice Ginger, send a few brothers from Sanchuan City to Romantic Bar and buy out all their liquor for . Make sure to say it’s because of Li Wen, so the boss knows what to do.”
“Haha, Young Master Hao, calling
this late just for this—is it because you’ve found the lady of the house at the bar?”
Spice Ginger received Hao Jian’s call but didn’t imdiately act. Instead, he gave a knowing smile that all n understand, although Hao Jian couldn’t see it, he could catch the nuance in Spice Ginger’s tone.
“Stop that, I won’t go into details, but suffice it to say it’s not like that.” Hao Jian playfully scolded, checked the ti, and said, “Get soone over as soon as you can. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll hang up now…”
Having said that, he ended the call directly, quickly grabbed his jacket, and headed toward the bar’s exit. His eyes scanned the surroundings swiftly, catching sight of Li Wen clutching her bag and turning into a corner.
Phew, luckily I just ca out in ti, otherwise I’d have lost her.
With quick steps, Hao Jian followed swiftly. With his rcenary King skills, trailing an ordinary person without being noticed was ridiculously easy. If Hao Jian applied his full abilities, even those on the rcenary Rankings or Assassin’s List would not notice him.
I wonder what kind of call she received that made her complexion change so drastically.
Gripping the third floor’s window bars, Hao Jian watched Li Wen hurry past below, rubbing his chin with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
“It’s unexpected that just going for a walk, I would co across sothing like this.”
Seeing Li Wen turn into another street, disappearing from view, Hao Jian released his grip, using his foot to push off the wall a few tis, landing steadily on the ground with a smile in his eyes.
“Tap…”
His toes lightly touched the ground, making a sound as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. Hao Jian disappeared from his original place, appearing at the corner, trailing Li Wen from afar, noticing the increasingly chaotic buildings around.
Clearly, they were nearing the destination.
“Brother, please, don’t let anything happen!”
Wearing high heels, sweat started to fall from Li Wen’s forehead, her bosom swayed enticingly with every step as she ran.
The anxiety on her pretty face caused her pace to falter a bit, but she clenched her teeth, continually heading toward the destination requested by the other party.
“Didn’t I already tell you not to go?! Why do you still insist on going?! Is that place really so captivating to you?!”
At this mont, in a dark corner of an almost deserted street, about twenty figures stood subtly grouped here, each bare-chested, faces displaying nace, looking at the young man surrounded in the center.
The young man appeared to be twenty years old, with delicate skin, resembling a pretty boy, yet different from one.
“Li Shi, if your sister doesn’t pay up this ti, don’t bla Brother Hu for being ruthless. Your debt to
is almost reaching this amount…”
A scarred forehead man with a fierce expression stretched out two fingers towards Li Shi on the ground, sneering, “Two hundred thousand, if you can’t pay today, my brothers will have no food. You should know the consequences of starving in our line of work, right?!”
“I know… I know!”
Li Shi looked at Brother Hu with fear, nodding frantically, devoid of any manly deanor, saying, “My sister will definitely co!”
“Let’s hope so.”
