help

After this commotion, "Night Scene" was brightly lit for the first time ever during the prime time of 8 p.m.

The guests huddled together in twos and threes, chatting about nothing more than:

—Dare to cause trouble at night? Don't you want to live?

—Not only did they cause trouble, but they also injured Sister Yan's favorite boyfriend.

Hearing the whispers around him, the security captain sighed deeply, feeling a pang of pity.

They had long disliked Young Master Xu, but because Sister Yan liked him, they could only put up with his bad temper. Today, finally someone stepped in to teach him a lesson, which was somewhat satisfying, but they couldn't help but worry about this woman.

"Sister Yan will be here soon, call her quickly."

Gu Nan was completely confused: "Make a phone call?"

"It's said that Sister Yan has the backing of the Wan family. Although the Ji family is nominally in power in Xuncheng, if we really go against the Wan family, we can only step back. Dealing with the Wan family..."

The security captain lowered his voice slightly and analyzed, "No one in Xuncheng can talk to the Wan family. You'd better have connections in Beicheng, otherwise... Hey, why did you hit him in the first place?"

After hearing his explanation, Gu Nan smiled knowingly, took a sip of her cocktail without a care, squinted her eyes to enjoy it, and said lightly, "Thanks."

A woman in the crowd anxiously advised, "Don't thank me, hurry up and find someone. It will be too late by the time Sister Yan comes back. That Xu guy isn't a good person. He wasn't exaggerating. If he doesn't want you to leave, it will be very difficult for you to leave. You don't know how much Sister Yan dotes on him."

The woman's voice was quite loud; not only could she hear it, but it also reached the ears of many people in the distance, each word clear.

Although the people around "voluntarily" dispersed, they would still listen intently to what was happening here.

Gu Nan glanced at the people who had turned around to watch the commotion, and they all had expressions that said, "You're dead meat."

The gaze finally settled on Xu Shao's face.

Xu Shao had already been helped up by the security guards, but knowing that Sister Yan was coming, he slumped back onto the floor, deliberately leaving behind several clear footprints on his shirt, as well as red and swollen lips and bruises around his eyes.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and Xu Shao's eyes seemed to be filled with venom.

Gu Nan wasn't annoyed. He raised his glass in the distance and sighed, "These days, gigolos are so brazen. The world is going to the dogs."

The others looked at each other, and no one responded.

Fearing she might provoke Young Master Xu again, the security captain said, "Say less."

Xu Shao wasn't as angry as the security captain had imagined. His face was full of arrogance and he said coldly, "Don't come crying to me later."

It was as if they had already anticipated the scene after Sister Yan arrived.

Gu Nan seemed to remember something amusing and chuckled softly, "You too."

-

Not long after.

"Who's causing trouble?"

The voice is heard before the person arrives.

Judging from the voice, it was a middle-aged woman with a loud and clear voice full of energy.

Footsteps were noisy and hurried behind the curtain. The security captain glanced at the carefree Gu Nan, then jogged over and lifted the curtain.

The security captain whispered, "Sister Yan."

The person who came in was about 1.65 meters tall and slightly overweight. He walked in with a swagger, his movements both bold and charming.

Her makeup was heavy, her eyelashes were extremely exaggerated, like two thick feather fans sticking out above her eyes, her lips were red, and her voice was authoritative even without anger: "What are you all good for? Where is he? How is he? Is he in the hospital?"

The security captain thought to himself, "He's all set up and waiting for you to show your concern, how could he possibly agree to go to the hospital?"

He mumbled hesitantly, "No."

"You don't want to work here anymore, huh!"

The security guard pursed his lips, lowered his head, and followed Sister Yan forward.

Xu Shao called out in a low voice, "Sister Yan."

He sat on the ground without getting up, staring straight at Sister Yan with tears in his eyes. His eyes were bruised and red, and there were swollen wounds around his mouth. The swelling extended to his lips, making his lips appear even fuller.

The wrinkles on his shirt collar and the footprints silently told of his grievances.

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to get beaten to death."

"Hiss." Sister Yan frowned. "Are you all dead? Don't you know how to help them up?"

The security guards hurriedly helped Xu Shao up. Sister Yan glanced down at the wound on Xu Shao's face and was about to turn around to find the culprit when Xu Shao wrapped his arms around her waist without saying a word, just holding her.

The anger in Sister Yan's eyes was visibly rising.

Where are they?!

All the waiters exchanged glances, secretly worried for the woman who was still drinking her cocktail.

Some people retreated in advance, fearing that they would get hurt in the fight.

They had seen Sister Yan fight, and they had just witnessed that woman's moves as well. Both of them had the same ruthless fighting style, and when they looked at that woman, they couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

No matter how strong your fist is, it's nothing more than showing off your axe in front of Guan Yu when facing someone with a powerful background.

Gu Nan casually raised her eyes, not even bothering to put down her wine glass.

The waiters quickly made way, creating a human-shaped path, and the two people looked at each other from opposite sides.

There was no expected outburst of anger, nor any tense standoff. They stared at each other across the wall of people, one sitting and one standing, neither making a move nor uttering a word.

Someone turned off the music, and the scene looked eerie for a moment.

The guests who entered the doorway, seeing this scene, silently retreated, their questions lingering for a long time.

"Something can happen at night? Is Xuncheng about to change drastically?"

No one offered him any answers.

Xu Shao glanced at Sister Yan, got up and pretended to collapse to the ground due to exhaustion, his voice filled with grievance: "It's okay that she hit me, but she shouldn't have acted like this in your place. Who am I to you? I can get hit and that's it, but it makes your people in the place worry. Isn't that disrespectful to you?"

Before she finished speaking, many waiters cast disdainful glances at her, then looked worriedly at the woman sitting with her legs crossed at the bar.

Silence.

Xu Shao looked around nervously, then tugged at Yan Jie's sleeve and whispered, "Yan Jie?"

"Oh."

Hearing the familiar disdainful voice, Xu Shao felt relieved and looked at Gu Nan triumphantly, his eyes filled with provocation and confidence.

Gu Nan shrugged, continued sipping her cocktail, and even had the leisure to order the bartender, "Another one, please."

Xu Shao added fuel to the fire: "Sister Yan, look, she doesn't respect you at all."

"The person she can even look at hasn't been born yet," Sister Yan muttered to herself.

"Huh?" Young Master Xu's expression froze. Sister Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it was too close and the place was too quiet, so he heard it clearly.

Not only him, but everyone present heard it clearly, and their gazes toward Gu Nan became more inquisitive.

Gu Nan broke the awkward atmosphere: "Want a drink?"

Sister Yan sat down next to her: "Okay."

The room was packed with guests: ?

All waiters: ?

Young Master Xu: ?

Amidst the puzzled stares of the crowd, Sister Yan took a sip from Gu Nan's wine glass and shook her head, commenting, "It's sour."

"Hmm," Gu Nan took a sip, "I added a little lemon juice, and I think it's fine."

Security Captain: You just started chatting like that?

Other waiters: Not going to get revenge? Has Young Master Xu fallen out of favor? They won't have to put up with this anymore?

Everyone: ? ? ?

Seeing that Sister Yan wanted to drink more, Gu Nan reached out and took the cup, saying, "If you want to drink, mix it yourself."

"baby."

"Stop." Gu Nan smiled mischievously and slightly raised her chin towards Xu Shao: "Your baby is lying on the ground."

"Cough cough."

Sister Yan glanced at the man on the ground, then turned around and swept over the probing gazes from all directions in the room. She announced loudly, "Sorry to disturb everyone's enjoyment. Tonight, all your expenses will be on the house. I'll give you three more chances to have your meals free."

She casually grabbed a bottle of wine, shook it vigorously, and immediately opened the cap. The rapidly expanding foam burst forth like sparks, exploding all around with a "bang."

She readily agreed, signaling to turn up the music and turn off the lights, saying, "Everyone, have a good time."

In an instant, nightfall restored the "paradise on earth".

However, amidst the intense drumbeats, a few more prying eyes appeared.

Xu Shao stared at Gu Nan through gritted teeth, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to stare a hole through Gu Nan.

Gu Nan curled the corners of her lips, met his gaze openly, and said to Sister Yan, "Your little boyfriend isn't convinced, is he?"

Following her gaze, Sister Yan looked back and scolded, "Aren't you going to come over and apologize? What kind of appearance is it to be lying on the ground like that?"

Xu Shao gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and stood up defiantly. He stood in front of Sister Yan with his head bowed and his voice was as weak as a fly's: "I'm sorry."

It sounds less like an apology and more like a provocation.

Gu Nan smiled indifferently, looking down at him: "Remember, don't ask me if I've booked a table in the future. There's no such rule here."

Xu Shao kept his head down and remained silent. Sister Yan slapped him across the face. "Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Xu Shao's eyes were red: "Sister Yan."

"Don't call me," Sister Yan muttered, "It's embarrassing."

He waved the person away, then dismissed the bartender, feigning reproach: "You came over without a word, and now you've caused such a scene."

"It's not that I want to cause trouble. You know I have a bad temper. If Nightclub weren't your place, I would have already smashed it up."

"Couldn't you have sent me a message?"

Gu Nan casually swiped her phone. "Too many contacts, it's too much trouble to keep searching."

Sister Yan was speechless with anger: "Hey you..."

Gu Nan changed the subject and sighed, "But your taste is getting worse and worse."

Sister Yan's eyes flickered, but she didn't reply. Instead, she changed the subject: "Who made you angry that you're coming here to cause trouble?"

"Do me a favor." Gu Nan swirled his wine glass and said unhurriedly, "Come with me to meet someone in three days."

"In what capacity?"

"J".

Sister Yan was taken aback: "That hypnotist?"

"Um."

Sister Yan hissed and said with difficulty, "It is said that J is very mysterious. We only know that she is a hypnotist. We know nothing about her appearance, personality and habits. Besides, we don't understand hypnosis and are likely to expose our ignorance."

Gu Nan stared at the liquid in the glass, her face proud: "You don't need to worry about that, I have a way to make them believe it."

"Other things are easy to talk about, but where are you going to find out about things like conversation habits?"

Gu Nan thought for a moment: "Have you forgotten what I do?"

"But isn't J very mysterious? Is there any information about him online?"

Gu Nan curled the corners of her lips but did not answer.

With more and more people looking at her from all sides, Gu Nan finished her second cocktail and got up to leave.

As I reached the door, someone bumped into me without my noticing, spilling alcohol on half of my sleeve.

The man looked embarrassed and apologized softly.

Gu Nan interrupted him, crossed her arms and smiled knowingly: "It's time to update your approach to flirting."

The man, holding his phone, blushed slightly and left with his head down.

She had just stepped out when she received a message on her phone, and she squinted and looked down.

Ji Yuanyu: [You don't need to go abroad.]

Gu Nan thought to herself: When did I ever plan to go abroad?

Ji Yuanyu: [I heard the Wan family and the Lu family don't get along. I contacted the Wan family, and they agreed to help. It just so happens that the young master of the Wan family is in Xuncheng, and he agreed to have a casual meal with me. When is it convenient for you? Let's go together.]

Looking at the latest message, Gu Nan felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she couldn't reach into the screen to strangle Ji Yuanyu.

Your most important task right now is to educate your employees on fraud prevention.

As soon as the message was sent, I received a mocking reply from an unknown number.

[Nanbao, you actually have a need to ask me for help!]
