The restaurant’s manager hastily ran over, seeing the scene of Yang Chen stepping on Qi Kai and causing him to puke blood nearly made the manager faint!
“Mister! Mister! Please show mercy! Show mercy!” The manager ran over with a head full of sweat. He finally hated himself for refusing to hire a bodyguard because he wanted to save money, this wasn’t a fight! This was murder!
Yang Chen released his leg, and took two steps back to let the manager help Qi Kai up.
Qi Kai stood up with difficulty. Being a part of the special forces meant that he had a robust body, but Yang Chen’s kick was enough to make him puke blood. Although he wasn’t seriously injured, this wasn’t something that he could recover immediately from, he would need at least half a month or so.
Wang Yue who was still in a daze a moment ago immediately ran over to Qi Kai’s side, she pushed away the manager to support Qi Kai, and asked while wailing, “Qiqi are you hurt? Qiqi are you alright?”
“How can I be alright after puking blood!?” Qi Kai opened his mouth that was coated with blood and bellowed at Wang Yue, but that bellow made him cough intensely.
Yang Chen turned to ask Liu Mingyu, “Do you still want to eat?”
Liu Mingyu had already recovered from the shock of Yang Chen violence, she looked at Yang Chen with concern, then slightly shook her head, “No, but he……”
“Don’t bother about him, let’s go.” Saying that, Yang Chen walked towards the exit of the restaurant.
Qi Kai was overwhelmed with anger, it would be too humiliating for him to let Yang Chen walk off like that, so he shouted, “You… stop right there!”
Yang Chen turned around with a queer smile and asked, “What? You want revenge?”
Qi Kai felt his heart mysteriously stop for a moment when Yang Chen glanced at him, and his thought of going up to fight was blown away, he gritted his teeth and said, “I will call the police, just you wait!”
“Do what you want.”
Yang Chen didn’t care at all, Qi Kai just puked blood, but even if he actually crippled Qi Kai, the police wouldn’t really do anything to him. From the way Flower Rain had appeared to help him, he could tell the current attitude the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade had towards him. Right now, they weren’t willing to make a move, and didn’t dare to, which was exactly the status which Yang Chen liked.
Liu Mingyu saw Yang Chen just walk off, so she didn’t do anything other than take out two hundred dollar notes and slipped it into the manager’s hands, and followed suit.
The guests who remained in the restaurant pointed and chatted about Qi Kai and Wang Yue amongst themselves, most of them were joyful about Qi Kai’s bad luck, and were curious as to Yang Chen’s identity, for he had beaten someone up in public without any restraint.
Wang Yue had always cared about face, seeing Qi Kai stand there with an ashen face, she coquettishly said, “Qiqi! That person was looking down on you! How can we endure this! Call the police, didn’t you tell me that Deputy Chief Lu of the West Region Police Station is your father’s friend!? Get him to help deal with this disgusting couple!”
Incited by Wang Yue’s words, Qi Kai ignored his fear for Yang Chen, coldly snorted, and took out his phone to make a call.
Very soon, a voice belonging to a middle-aged man was heard, “Haha, Qi Kai, I heard from your dad that you’re back in Zhonghai? Good job, you even remembered to give me a call.”
“Uncle Lu, say no more, in this short time I returned, I’ve already gotten attacked by someone!”
“What!? Who dares to attack you? Let me back you up!”
Qi Kai proudly smiled, “Uncle Lu, I was just at the Cantonese restaurant near your police station for dinner, and was carelessly kicked by a man, you have to stick up for me.”
“This person is too bold! He dared to create trouble in this area!? Don’t worry, I’m here for you, Qi Kai. Give me that man’s name, I will check on him for you.”
Qi Kai looked towards Wang Yue who was beside him. Wang Yue had shook hands with Yang Chen before, and knew of his name, so she hurriedly told Qi Kai.
Qi Kai said, “The name’s Yang Chen, he’s from Yu Lei International. Uncle Lu, this is something that concerns the safety of us civilians, someone like that should be locked up in a cell for decades!”
On the other side of the line, Deputy Chief Lu laughed in agreement, but a while later, he said, “Huh?” Then no longer spoke.
Qi Kai frowned, he had a bad feeling about this, “Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu? Are you there? Why aren’t you speaking? Are you done checking?”
“Oh Qi Kai……” Deputy Chief Lu took a while before replying slowly, “You just returned to Zhonghai, don’t stir up trouble. For some matters, if it isn’t too serious, just let it go. Young people shouldn’t be hot-tempered. Take a step back and calm down, I think we should just forget about this.”
“Uncle Lu! You can’t be like this! Why do you suddenly want me to forget about it!?”
“Oh Qi Kai, I’m going for a meeting now, let’s just leave it at this, send my regards to your father, bye bye……” Deputy Chief Lu quickly cut the call.
Indignant, Qi Kai smashed his phone onto the ground!
“Going for a damn meeting!? How can you go for a shitty meeting after work! You think you’re fooling a child!?” Qi Kai said with gritted teeth.
Wang Yue saw that it was fruitless, and said with disdain, “I guess your relationship isn’t strong enough, and I thought your family was so powerful……”
*Smack!!*
Qi Kai suddenly slapped Wang Yue, and she was dumbstruck.
“Slut, get the hell lost! I don’t want to see you!!”
Chapter 175-2: Begin and end
After Qi Kai scolded her, he left Wang Yue whom he had slapped behind, and under the gazes of the many guests, he left the restaurant in a flurry.
At approximately the same time, Liu Mingyu who ran out of the restaurant had already caught up to Yang Chen, and the two were already in Yang Chen’s car.
Liu Mingyu seemed worried, and anxiously asked, “Yang Chen, you were too reckless. Qi Kai’s family has contacts with the government, he might really call the police to arrest you!”
Yang Chen looked at Liu Mingyu with a slight smile, her confident and charming face was now fraught with worry, “Mingyu-jie, I feel very gratified.”
“What?” Liu Mingyu couldn’t understand him.
“I beat up your boyfriend, yet you’re concerned about me. Should I set off some firecrackers?” Yang Chen joked.
Liu Mingyu lowered her head, and solemnly said, “He isn’t my boyfriend, I’m just a silly woman who has been making a mistake for years.”
A beautiful woman wanted to live together with another man till they both grow old since her college days. Even though that man suddenly enlisted in the army and told her to wait for him at the train station, the woman still abided that simple promise without any second thoughts. There was no written proof and no witnesses, but the woman still quietly waited, and spent the peak of her beauty in loneliness by relying on her conscience and hope.
But when that man showed himself again without any warning, he told the woman that it was simply ridiculous for her to wait, the man had never truly thought about meeting her again. He even did his utmost to twist the truth and hurt the woman just so that he can shirk off the blame……
Yang Chen felt that if this happened to someone else that wasn’t for Liu Mingyu who had ample experience in society and magnanimous nature, that person might already be contemplating suicide.
“Mingyu-jie, you’re a lot stronger than I thought you would be.” Yang Chen sincerely said.
Liu Mingyu made a sad smile, “If I don’t be strong, do you expect me to cry right there and then…… What use is there to cry, all it does is entertain others more, and make women like Wang Yue happy. I’m not that stupid, isn’t it just eight years of time? I can afford to lose that……”
Despite what she said, sparkling tears still flowed down her beautiful cheeks.
Liu Mingyu took out a tissue to wipe away her tears, she sweetly spoke while sniffling, “Since I’ve finally been released by the senseless shackles that held me down, and to thank you for the stomp that you gave him, let’s celebrate by going to the bar, please do me the honor, Sir Yang Chen.”
Yang Chen nodded with a grin, at a point like this, he had no reason to reject the hurt woman’s small request.
Being reserved for so many years has practically left Liu Mingyu with no friends, although she could easily get a bunch of men who covet her for her looks, she basically had no male friends.
Yang Chen drove the car to the nearest decently sized bar. The two entered the dimly lit bar and chose to sit somewhere close to the corner.
Liu Mingyu directly ordered four bottles of Chivas Regal. After filling both their glasses, they began to heartily drink that amber-colored Chivas like it was water, and it streamed from the woman’s mouth into her throat.
Yang Chen didn’t let loose and drink. Firstly, he was afraid that he might lose control of his mind. Secondly, he knew that what Liu Mingyu needed was a companion, so that she wouldn’t feel lonely.
Gradually, two bottles of Chivas were emptied into their stomachs. Liu Mingyu’s charming eyes looked as clear as spring water. The alluringly soft and well-developed figure underneath the office wear, exuded charm that made the men in the bar look over repeatedly.
A woman with fiery passion wrapped up in such a thick shell usually wouldn’t have as much attractiveness as a ripe and juicy peach.
Yang Chen watched as Liu Mingyu gradually become intoxicated, but he didn’t stop her, because it was better to let her heartily drink than to admonish her in this situation.
“Yang Chen……” Liu Mingyu’s voice was sultry and indolent, she already sounded rather lispy, which made her all the more delicate and captivating.
“Yeah?”
“Do you know why I always bring you to that Cantonese restaurant?” Liu Mingyu asked with her head slanted.
Yang Chen shook his head, for he truly didn’t know.
Liu Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled, “Because… during college, that person frequently brought me there…… That is also the place we met……”
A place originally made her happy had now become a place that left her heart-broken.
Yang Chen picked up a bottle, filled Liu Mingyu’s glass, and said, “It began there, and ended there, that’s pretty nice.”
“Yeah… pretty good……” Liu Mingyu reached a hand out to grab the glass, but there was no strength in her hand, so the glass slipped out of her hand in midair and fell onto the ground!
*Clink……*
The sound of glass shattering was heard.
Liu Mingyu stared at the whisky that flowed on the floor in a daze, then rested her head on the table, and cried her heart out with shuddering shoulders.
