Chapter 25: Bar
Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Bar
Yu Ting’s face was deathly pale, as if she had suddenly lost her most precious possession. She didn’t care about her image as she lunged at Jia Heng, crying and cursing, while pulling and tearing at him, leaving both of their clothes in complete disarray.
Lin Xi remained silent and did not intervene, just watching quietly.
However, Cui Hua still felt a bit uneasy, considering the years of friendship, but he restrained himself and did nothing.
Jia Heng, pained by the pulling and tearing, snapped out of his daze. Seeing Yu Ting clawing and hitting him like a madwoman, he angrily shook her off.
In his moment of distraction, he vaguely realized that he was exposed and his eyes reddened. "Brat, cutting off someone’s money is like killing their parents!"
After saying this, he suddenly jumped up and lunged at Lin Xi, giving no time for anyone present to react.
The four girls couldn’t help but inwardly gasp, "Oh no! Lin Xi might be in trouble."
In their eyes, Lin Xi looked neither strong nor fierce, dressed in ragged clothes that suggested he was from the countryside, and seemed inexperienced.
With Jia Heng’s fierce attack, Lin Xi would surely be flustered, and even if Peng Bo and the others managed to stop him in time, they couldn’t prevent him from being attacked.
Lin Xi’s current behavior, in the eyes of the girls, seemed like he was too scared to move a muscle.
The next moment, the girls were stunned, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Lin Xi grabbed the opponent’s collar with lightning speed and delivered two loud slaps, causing blood to splatter, before slightly lifting him and throwing him into the corner.
"For the sake of our fourth brother, I’ll spare you this time!" Lin Xi said coldly to the dazed Yu Ting, sitting on the ground.
"Let’s go, that’s it for tonight."
After saying this, Lin Xi was the first to leave the KTV.
Inside the KTV, Peng Bo and his friends weren’t shocked; they had known about Lin Xi’s skills for a long time. This was nothing!
Jiang Yi, Di Qiu, and Ning Jing looked incredulous, as if they had discovered a new world, secretly regretting having misjudged him earlier. Especially Jiang Yi, although Gu Xiaoxian’s mouth was slightly agape, she wasn’t too shocked.
Outside the KTV, Lin Xi asked everyone to go back first as he had something to take care of.
Peng Bo and his three friends agreed with mischievous smiles. Except for Gu Xiaoxian, who hesitated and told him to take care, the other three were still in shock from Lin Xi’s earlier performance.
When they returned to the school, Lin Xi had already arrived at a high-end villa area a few kilometers away from Jiangnan University.
Given the current housing market in the country, and in a first-tier city like Chuzhou City, only extraordinary wealthy people could afford it.
Lin Xi walked around the villa area for a while, looking for a spot not covered by surveillance cameras, and climbed over the wall.
"Building 25!"
The Wang family lived in Building 25, as the old man had told him before.
This time, he was here to understand the situation. If someone from the Wang family encountered danger in the future, he would be able to handle it promptly.
After searching for a while, he found Building 25 located at the center of the villa complex.
The villa was brightly lit, and from Lin Xi’s vantage point, even with the curtains drawn in the villa’s hall, he could vaguely see a few silhouettes.
There were six people in the hall: two old, two middle-aged, and a young man and woman, both appearing to be in their twenties.
Lin Xi listened for a moment; although he couldn’t see their faces, he could recognize their shapes and voices, allowing him to identify them with certainty.
From their casual chat, it seemed the Wang family was doing quite well, especially with a major project lined up. Should it succeed, the Wang family would undoubtedly rise even higher.
So Lin Xi quietly left without disturbing the Wang family, planning to intervene if necessary in the future.
Outside the villa, Lin Xi checked his phone; it was only eight o’clock, still early!
He used the map on his phone to search for nearby bars.
"Celestial Joy Bar?"
About six to seven kilometers away, with the university nestled between the villa complex and the bar.
Such a distance was nothing to Lin Xi.
In less than half an hour, Lin Xi walked into the bar called Celestial Joy.
The bar was quite crowded, but not too noisy, with a pleasant atmosphere, likely due to the large number of female students present.
At the bar, Lin Xi said to the bartender, "A glass of Spirytus Rektyfikowany, please."
"Are you sure?" This was the highest-proof type of Polish vodka, and the highest-proof alcohol in the world, reaching ninety-six degrees.
If it weren’t for their unique owner, who loved collecting all kinds of odd spirits from around the world, they wouldn’t have it.
Supposedly, only they had it in Chuzhou City.
Although Lin Xi caught the bartender’s attention as soon as he entered the bar, dressed in tattered clothes, he didn’t pay much mind since several bumpkins came every month, often not drinking even a single glass, just loitering in the dance floor hoping for some luck.
In this world, if one isn’t handsome or rich, such daydreams are futile!
But seeing Lin Xi approach the bar instead of going to the dance floor, the bartender was slightly surprised.
"Yes." Lin Xi casually replied. He hadn’t expected the bar to really have such a drink; it was a pleasant surprise.
The bartender stifled his curiosity, more convinced that Lin Xi was indeed a bumpkin putting on airs, either pretending to know what he didn’t, or egged on by others.
But since the customer placed an order, he couldn’t do much, adhering to the philosophy of "the customer is always right" that many acknowledge in their hearts.
"Let’s see how you embarrass yourself later," the bartender thought to himself.
Lin Xi took the glass, gently swirling it, seeing the amber-like liquor catching the vibrant colors of the lights, particularly noticeable.
As it swirled, a strong alcoholic aroma filled the air.
"I wonder how the brothers are doing!" Lin Xi reminisced about his time in South Africa. After their high-intensity missions, they would drink a bottle to release stress.
He took a small sip, the taste unchanged, evoking nostalgia!
Just then, a fragrant wind swept from behind, mixed with a strong scent of alcohol.
The woman wore a white blouse, with two buttons undone, her cleavage vaguely visible and notably significant.
What captivated Lin Xi the most was her perfectly proportioned figure, which, if not for the face, could easily be considered that of an Enchanting Demon from a fantasy world.
"Hey handsome, cock...cock...cock...tai...!" The woman’s tongue was a bit twisted, her voice blurred yet soft, igniting primal impulses.
"Got it, miss. Cocktail, right? You’ve had quite a lot to drink today; are you sure you’re okay?" The bartender felt somewhat troubled, concerned such a stunning woman might fall prey to some scoundrel.
"Okay, OOO...K, I’m fine, yes, fine!" The woman waved her hand in response.
At that moment, Lin Xi noticed a middle-aged man with a stubbly face and slightly balding hair approaching. He wore a blue suit, polished leather shoes, and held a tall wine glass, exuding confidence and composure, appearing to be a successful person.
