8 PM.

A well-known bar in Jingnan.

Bright lights, clinking glasses, tearing and howling.

After the intoxication and hazy vision, hormones explode in the air.

In a dimly lit booth in a corner on the second floor.

A woman with a pure and beautiful appearance was surrounded by several men with ill intentions in the center of a booth.

The men spoke frivolously and even got handsy.

"Beautiful lady, who are you waiting for here?"

"This pretty young lady looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time at SAVE?"

"It looks like it's your first time. Don't be shy, little sister, how about having a drink with your brothers?"

SAVE is the top bar among the ten major bars in Jingnan. It has a great reputation and a high-class atmosphere, and many idle young men come here to seek thrills and fun.

Once its reputation took off, the place was packed every night.

Similarly, where there are rich kids, class distinctions are naturally clear.

The first floor is for general tourists and guests to enjoy themselves.

The second floor houses wealthy young men, nouveau riche, and managers and vice presidents of companies who need to conduct business negotiations with partners.

The third floor is naturally a place where only the heirs of powerful and influential families within the Jing circle can appear.

Meanwhile, the SAVE backdoor.

Surrounded by bodyguards, I got out of the car and was greeted by the owner of SAVE at the back door as I walked into the bar.

Zhang Youye, wearing a baseball cap, had one hand in his pocket as he looked around and chatted with the owner.

"Ah Sheng, how's business lately?"

Gu Sheng flicked a cigarette and offered it to Zhang Youye, but after the other refused, he put the cigarette case away and chuckled.

"With your name on the team, business is naturally booming. What brings you here today? I heard you've been pursuing the second young lady of the Shu family lately. Why didn't you bring her along so I could meet her?"

Knowing the place well, Zhang Youye walked into the bar and stood in front of the stairs. He looked around and gave a low warning.

“I had something to do today, so I deliberately came here to see someone without telling her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come in through the back door. Tell your brothers not to spread rumors. If the Second Miss finds out, don’t force me to kill him.”

"Don't worry, my brothers are tight-lipped. You go ahead with your work, leave this to me."

He gave a casual reply and headed for the stairs.

Behind him.

An out-of-town employee who had only been working there for a short time was unsure who the imposing figure in front of him was, so he asked the employee next to him.

"Who is this guy? Everyone in our brother Sheng bows and scrapes before him, so why is it his turn to bow and scrape?"

"This is the Crown Prince of Jingquan, an ancestor whom no one dares to offend, understand? When you see him, don't worry about anything else, just bow your head like I do."

Why should I bow my head?

“He used to have a blast here. Once he set fire to all the sofas on the third floor. After burning the sofas, he started throwing money down from the third floor. He threw stacks of bills down like a downpour. That night, I picked up five stacks, each stack worth ten thousand.”

"Holy crap, isn't this just plain stupid? Even if you're rich, you can't just throw money around like this."

"Don't talk nonsense. In this ancestor's eyes, money is just a string of numbers. Without him, SAVE wouldn't be so famous, and if it weren't famous, you wouldn't be here. You stupid idiot."

"Then why did I only meet this ancestor today?"

"Because just a few days after this incident, this ancestor was..."

Noticing the boss's signal, the whistleblower immediately fell silent.

"Stop talking so much, don't you want to lose your tongue?" Gu Sheng turned to face his employees and continued to instruct them, "Stop gossiping about the young master behind his back, and don't mention the past again. Also, don't let anyone know about what happened here today."

After saying that, Gu Sheng turned and left.

...

We arrived at the second floor.

Zhang Youye gestured to his bodyguards to stay put, and then walked straight to a booth in a corner on the second floor.

The closer one gets to the booth, the clearer the laughter that reaches Zhang Youye's ears becomes.

It wasn't until I stood still at the booth that I saw Shu Qianxin surrounded by a group of good-for-nothing playboys.

Zhang Youye frowned in annoyance, turned around and waved to the bodyguards who were waiting in place.

He leaned back against the corner of the sofa, patiently waiting for the bodyguards to pull all the young masters away.

Inside the booth, the clueless young masters were suddenly pulled aside by a group of expressionless men in black.

Their enthusiasm was interrupted, and the group was about to open their mouths to curse.

In the blink of an eye.

Seeing the aloof young master lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, the group instinctively shivered as he scrutinized them with his icy gaze.

"Young Master You, what brings you here?"

"This, this, is this beautiful woman your woman?"

"Yes, we're sorry, Young Master You. We were wrong. We'll leave right now!"

He glanced at Shu Qianxin, whose eyes were red and who looked angry but dared not vent. Under the black brim of his hat, Zhang Youye's already furrowed brows tightened even more.

Before the trembling young men could take more than a few steps, he finally spoke in a cold voice to warn them.

“You bunch of clueless idiots, do you think you can even mess with the Shu family? Ah Fa, I don’t care whose family they’re from, take them and tell Ah Sheng that these pieces of trash are not allowed to show their faces here again.”

Upon hearing this, bodyguard Afa quickly beckoned the group and urged the young masters to leave the booth.

Knowing that those jerks would no longer bother her, Shu Qianxin shifted her position closer to Zhang Youye, her eyes red with gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Youye, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Youye interrupted him.

Zhang Youye shook a cigarette from the pack, put it in his mouth, lit it by sliding the lighter on the side of the cigarette holder, and casually tossed the lighter onto the table. When he turned to look at Shu Qianxin, his brow was still furrowed.

"Why didn't you greet Gu Sheng before coming here? What are you doing sitting on the second floor like an idiot? Don't you know you should go to the third floor? And you dare to sit alone in the corner. If you run into someone with guts, you can shout at the top of your lungs and no one will hear you."

"I... I didn't think that much," Shu Qianxin stammered as she explained. "I'd only been sitting here for five minutes when those people came over and snatched my phone. I... I couldn't help it. Right Brother, I'm sorry."

Seeing that she was about to start crying again after only a few words, Zhang Youye said speechlessly, "Alright, I didn't come here to hear you apologize. You need to use your own brain when you do things. Just tell me, what information did you get?"

Earlier, when Zhang Youye brought Shu Yi home to have dinner with his aunt, he received a call from Shu Qianxin.

During the phone call, Shu Qianxin told him that there were other developments regarding Shu Renxuan's situation that she wanted to share with him.

After giving the name of the bar and saying "See you tonight," she hung up the phone.

He has already met her at the bar, but he is still waiting for her reply.

Zhang Youye urged, "Speak up, what news have you received?"

Noticing that it was already 8:15, Shu Qianxin pursed her lips and said, "Brother Youye, actually it wasn't me who wanted to ask you out."

"Yes, it's someone else who wants to ask you out."
