In her past life, Qiao Xi was deceived by her wicked stepfather and stepmother, not only causing the death of her most beloved relative but also killing the man who loved her more than life itself!...
Night Pearl Bar.
The bar, which should have been bustling with activity at this time, is now eerily quiet, and the floor is a complete mess.
Wine and fruit platters were scattered all over the floor, tables and chairs were broken and scattered, and even the walls were damaged. It was a truly pitiful sight.
At the bar, a man in a white suit and black shirt sat drinking. He exuded a terrifying aura, and the bodyguards surrounding him dared not approach him easily.
Several other men, their faces bruised and swollen from being beaten, were kneeling at the man's feet. Their mouths were gagged, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were forced to lower their heads, seemingly waiting for the man's punishment.
After an unknown amount of time, the bodyguard closest to the man mustered his courage and took two steps forward, "Brother Ye."
"Where is he?" The man's voice betrayed no anger, but rather a hint of languor.
Only the bodyguard knew that the more he acted like this, the more dangerous he became, but he still had to answer truthfully, "Not found."
The man suddenly laughed twice, followed by a loud crash as the cup in his hand shattered into pieces. "A bunch of useless trash!"
The bodyguard standing next to him subconsciously took a step back, and the other bodyguards standing also trembled involuntarily, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to breathe.
Those kneeling couldn't escape even if they wanted to. The one at the front was the one Jun Jiuge accidentally bumped into and kicked away. The others were his underlings, and they were kneeling here in a long line.
The man's cold gaze fell upon them, and the bodyguard, seeing this, cautiously asked him again, "Brother Ye, what should we do with these people?"
"Throw it into the sea to feed the fish." Ye Lang turned his back, rubbing his temples with a grim expression, as if he was about to explode again.
The bodyguard obeyed, saying, "Yes, sir."
Upon hearing that they were to be thrown into the sea, they struggled and howled desperately, but unfortunately their mouths were gagged, and they could only make muffled noises.
Just as the bodyguards were about to take them out, the leader, who was tied up, spat out the gag from his mouth and shouted loudly with great confidence, "I'm Boss Qian's man, you'd better let me go."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the bodyguard stepped forward and kicked him, saying, "What is Qian Laoliu compared to our Brother Ye?"
"Qian Laoliu?" Ye Lang repeated the name with a questioning tone.
The bodyguard replied, "The owner of Dunhuang Entertainment City."
Ye Lang suddenly chuckled coldly, his eyes sweeping over him with a sinister and terrifying look. "Perfect, chop it up and put it at his door."
"Yes." The lead bodyguard nodded respectfully, signaling another bodyguard to gag him again, and they were all taken away, ignoring their incessant shouting and screaming, "Mmm, mmm..."
Before the person could be taken out, another group of people rushed into the bar. Behind them, a man in a wheelchair slowly walked in, being pushed in by someone.
Ye Lang recognized the person in the wheelchair at a glance. He widened his pupils slightly, looking at him with shock and surprise, "Bai Xiuyan?"
Seeing Bai Xiuyan's men barge in and surround his men, he immediately became enraged and said, "What do you mean? Are you here to cause trouble?"
Bai Xiuyan glanced at him coldly and said two words without taking him seriously at all, "We need people."
"You need someone?" Ye Lang asked, his face full of confusion, but his anger rising. "Who?"
Before he finished speaking, another group of people rushed in, completely surrounding the Night Pearl Bar.
Ye Lang also recognized the man who looked anxious and furious. "Qi Jincheng?"
"Where's Xi'er?" Qi Jincheng was equally too lazy to waste words with him.
However, he arrived a step later than Bai Xiuyan, and Bai Xiuyan did not greet him. Although the two came for the same purpose, their relationship remained tense.
Ye Lang stared at the two men in front of him with disbelief. They were both prominent figures in Beijing, and now they were both in his bar, demanding someone's return.
Are they looking for the same person?
Isn't Xi'er the one on the other end of that woman's phone...?
Ye Lang suddenly snapped to attention and asked, "Qi Jincheng, what's your relationship with that woman?"
Before Qi Jincheng could say anything, Bai Xiuyan impatiently threatened him, "Hand over the person, and at most I'll smash up your place today."
Ye Lang seemed unwilling to be threatened by Bai Xiuyan, and defiantly said in a posture of defiance, "What if I touch her?"
"None of you will leave here alive." Qi Jincheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, sending chills down the spines of those who saw him. He was not just talking; he meant what he said!
Ye Lang immediately felt a bit wary. Neither of these two were easy to deal with. He had dealt with them before. If it were just one of them, he wouldn't be afraid of them. But he was afraid that if they joined forces, it would be beyond his ability to handle.
Who exactly is this woman named 'Xi'er'? What is her relationship with them?!
Ye Lang cast a questioning glance at the bar manager, who shook his head innocently. He had never encountered such a scene before, and he also wanted to know what the relationship was between that woman and these two men that would make them both come to his door at the same time.
The only thing that's certain is that they have a very close relationship!
He's now filled with deep regret, but there's no going back!
"Where is Xi'er?!" Qi Jincheng had no patience left. He just wanted to see his Xi'er immediately and make sure she was safe and sound. Otherwise... he wouldn't let any of the people here go. He would make sure they all died without a burial place!
Bai Xiuyan then warned him, "I'll count to three."
"She's not with me." Ye Lang didn't have time to think things through before he confessed.
Qi Jincheng and Bai Xiuyan clearly didn't believe him. Ye Lang chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "She just left her phone here. I happened to be looking for her, and she broke some of my things, so I have to make her pay for it."
"What exactly is her relationship with you?" Ye Lang couldn't help but ask again.
As Ye Lang asked this question, he already had a rough idea of what was going on in his mind, and after thinking it over, that was the only possibility.
"Smash it!" Bai Xiuyan waved his hand and gave the order without the slightest hesitation.
The subordinates, obeying orders, immediately prepared to smash things. Ye Lang, not expecting him to be so 'unreasonable,' quickly and angrily stopped him, saying, "Bai Xiuyan, don't go too far!"
"You can search it up if you don't believe me."
The person wasn't even here in the first place. He said that because he wanted compensation from his bar, but he didn't expect to attract the attention of these two!
The subordinates who were about to smash things stopped and calmed Bai Xiuyan down. Bai Xiuyan's attitude was written all over his face, and he said one word: 'Smash'.
