The truly interesting places in Country D are not in the city center, but in the old town, a melting pot of all sorts of people. If you're looking for excitement, you have to go to the old town.

For example, the bar where Xiao Qi was located was one of the properties of one of the forces in Country D. The first floor was an ordinary bar, and the second floor was a private boxing ring that would get your adrenaline pumping, specializing in underground boxing matches and betting.

Compared to professional boxing matches, private matches are obviously more bloody and violent, causing an adrenaline rush and providing immense excitement.

Those who box are doing it for a living, while those who watch boxing are doing it for entertainment and to vent their frustrations.

This is also the main reason why Xiao Qi chose this bar.

He needed to vent!

After relieving himself of the water, he lit a cigarette in the corridor, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.

Having skipped dinner and consumed strong liquor, he experienced waves of stomach cramps.

But no matter how painful it is, it can't compare to the pain in my heart.

His hopes were dashed time and time again, which made him wonder if there was any point in continuing.

It's exhausting to keep watching a one-sided love that will never have a happy ending.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Xiao Qi looked up at the ceiling, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.

"Sir... wanna go on a date?"

A slender arm suddenly draped over his shoulder, and a seductive breath whispered in his ear.

With a furrowed brow, Xiao Qi instinctively wanted to tell the other person to get lost.

The brain, slowed down by alcohol, belatedly realized that the voice sounded familiar.

He turned his head and saw that pale face so close to his, his eyes filled with shock and surprise.

"Jing Li, what are you doing here?"

What a coincidence!

"Unfortunately, I came here specifically to find you."

With a slight upturn of her lips, Jing Li leaned lazily against him. The excessive blood loss made her a little dizzy, and leaning against him would save her some energy.

Damn, could this idiot have fallen in love with someone while filming?

Without the skills of a true "sea king," she still dreams of being one?!

Xiao Qi's expression was not good. He would rather die than be coveted by a woman like this!

"I will never like you... You're not even worth half a fingernail of Xue Ling's, so put away your little..."

"Shut up, okay? I've never seen anyone so presumptuous. Where is Cui Xueling?"

Jing Li rolled her eyes in annoyance, interrupting him.

How did you know I had a date with Xue Ling?

Xiao Qi's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with astonishment.

"Didn't you change your itinerary specifically for her?"

Jing Li retorted with a cold laugh.

Xiao Qi fell silent for a long time before replying sullenly, "She didn't come... Hey, have a drink with me."

It's better to have someone with you than to be depressed alone.

Didn't come?

That shouldn't be the case...

When asking someone for a favor, you should always offer them something in return.

Xiao Qi's interest was in Cui Xueling; to keep her in suspense, she should at least come and meet her.

Why did Cui Xueling stand up for her promise...?

Is there any crucial point that she overlooked?

Jing Li's mind was in complete chaos. The injury on her arm made her brain sluggish, and she couldn't calm down to think clearly.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Since she's not here, I'd like to trouble you, Young Master Xiao, for a favor."

help?

What kind of help?!

Xiao Qi was completely dumbfounded.

He felt a dampness on his shoulder and instinctively touched it, feeling a warm, slippery substance—it was blood!

"You're injured?!"

His pupils constricted sharply, and he cried out in surprise.

"I'm not very familiar with country D. It's a gunshot wound, so I can't go to the hospital. Can you help me?"

Lowering her voice, Jing Li directly stated her destination.

She had even considered that if Xiao Qi was unwilling to cooperate, she wouldn't mind using force!
