A chill ran down his face, and Wang Hao, who was about to faint, suddenly regained consciousness, his vision blurry.
From two Xiao Chengs and two Bai Lus, to rows of Xiao Chengs and Bai Lus, it finally returned to one and a half Xiao Chengs and one and a half Bai Lus, barely able to stand steady against the edge of the sofa.
"What... happened to me just now..." Wang Hao shook his head and slid onto the sofa.
He looked down and smelled the alcohol on his clothes, then sniffed hard: "It smells so good, Brother Cheng. Who brought this wine, that brat? Good wine..."
Although Bai Lu disappeared quickly, Xiao Cheng was still quite affected by the strong aroma of alcohol. His mind, which had just become somewhat clear, gradually became dizzy and his vision became a little blurry.
I instinctively hugged Bailu, resting my head on her shoulder, "Lulu, I want to go home..."
The surrounding crowd, who were on high alert and fearful, were stunned into silence, their jaws dropping in shock.
A series of gasps of cold air were heard.
If it weren't for the figures lying horizontally, vertically, or half-lying in the corner, their heads bleeding and trembling, and the messy fragments on the ground, the stench of blood mixed with various strong smells of alcohol constantly assaulting their breath.
They couldn't believe that Xiao Cheng, who was so fierce and brutally beating people just a moment ago, was now leaning on the shoulder of a pure, fair-skinned, and unbelievably beautiful girl, saying he wanted to go home.
His tone was still so...so indifferent.
Forgive them for not being able to imagine or believe that Xiao Cheng, known in the underworld as a brutal and ruthless dragon, could have a voice that sounded so gentle.
It's definitely not gentleness.
Xiao Cheng was only less cold-hearted towards beautiful girls; deep down, he was still cruel and cold-blooded.
Having witnessed Xiao Cheng's ruthless methods many times, the crowd shook their heads and rubbed their eyes hard to clear their minds.
Open your eyes wide and see clearly whether the person standing in front of that half-broken, half-intact sofa is Xiao Cheng.
Was the person who just spoke Xiao Cheng?
Let's see if the girl will push Xiao Cheng away, after all, such a violent and tragic scene just happened.
She would probably be so scared that she would push Xiao Cheng away, right?
Unexpectedly.
The girl not only didn't push Xiao Cheng away, but also hugged him back and whispered, "Okay, let's go home right away."
A louder cracking sound rang out again in the hall.
Then, the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard one after another.
Bai Lu looked over at the sound and saw several figures swaying and collapsing to the ground in a corner not far from Wang Hao. Clearly, those who couldn't hold their liquor had already passed out.
Bai Lu had only seen such a powerful wine once in later generations, on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Two families went to a restaurant for dinner. My aunt brought a jar of wine that a friend had given her. The jar was sealed very tightly, but when she opened it, she accidentally slipped and the jar fell to the ground and broke.
The waiter passed out drunk on the spot when he came to clean the room.
At that time, Bai Lu, who couldn't hold her liquor, along with her mother, grandmother, maternal grandmother, and aunt, were all dizzy.
Grandpa Bailu changed to another private room without saying a word.
I later learned that the jar of wine was a gift from a friend who was the head of a family of winemakers, on my aunt's birthday.
Ordinary people would never see it, let alone drink it.
Unexpectedly, despite its seemingly backward location, Pingcheng had a powerful figure behind its dance hall.
It's not a good place to linger in a place where all sorts of people mingle. Bai Lu waved to Yu Dongxu, who was still in a daze not far away, and said, "Come and help me support Wang Hao."
Yu Dongxu was finally brought back to his senses by the girl's clear and loud voice, and quickly ran over to help Wang Hao.
Bai Lu helped Xiao Cheng turn around.
The blocked entrance and exit instantly cleared a path.
No sooner had he taken a step than a piercing, guttural voice rang out behind him: "Xiao Cheng!"
Xiao Cheng slightly raised his cold eyes, and the murderous aura that had disappeared surged back into them, suddenly turning into fierce and brutal.
Bai Lu gripped his hand tightly, then turned and coldly looked at Hu Biao, who had woken up on the ground and whose face was covered in blood.
"120 is more suitable for you."
Not calling the police or 120 (emergency services) is an unspoken agreement and a matter of dignity in gang warfare; life and death are left to fate.
Calling an ambulance before the very last moment is an admission of defeat, an admission of weakness, and a cowardly act of admitting defeat and behaving like a grandson.
Hu Biao, who had been helped up by his underlings, was furious and embarrassed. He spat out a mouthful of broken, bloody teeth and glared at Bai Lu with a sinister look: "Who do you think you are? When did it become a woman's place to interrupt a man's conversation!"
Xiao Cheng clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged and his knuckles turned white, but Bai Lu stopped him in his tracks.
Bai Lu met Hu Biao's fierce-looking gaze and calmly asked, "What do you want?"
Hu Biao glared at Xiao Cheng and sneered, "Xiao Cheng, you've ruined my place today. Don't even think about leaving until you kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake!"
"Bullshit! You won't let me leave after I've finished eating, and you're spouting nonsense. What kind of face do you have to make Brother Cheng kowtow and apologize to you? What are you dreaming about! You dog, come and hit me again if you dare!" Wang Hao bared his teeth and claws, wanting to pounce on Hu Biao, but Yu Dongxu held him back tightly.
Hu Biao glanced around at the crowd of onlookers: "Aren't you going to get over here? Do you want me to invite you?"
The security guards in the crowd looked at each other, clearly not knowing who Hu Biao was calling.
A moment later, fifteen burly men emerged from the shadows and stood around Hu Biao.
Hu Biao had brought ten of his men with him, but Xiao Cheng had already beaten most of them down, and two of them were missing. It was unknown whether Wang Hao had beaten them up in the private room.
Of the ten henchmen, only one remained, half-crippled, supporting Hu Biao. His demeanor was so low that he could barely speak.
Fifteen tall, burly men walked over.
The outnumbered militia was instantly infused with new power, and Hu Biao's bloodied face broke into a triumphant smile.
"If you want to fight, then keep fighting! Let's see if you call 120 in the end, or if we do!"
"I'll say it again, Xiao Cheng, don't even think about leaving until you kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistake!"
Bai Lu hadn't understood why the clerk at the counter was so respectful to Xiao Cheng, not only refusing to accept any good wine but also refusing to let Xiao Cheng and Wang Hao pay a single penny in compensation.
Now, seeing Hu Biao's arrogant and smug face after expanding his armed forces; the two young men at the counter and the security guards watching nervously, backing away, and standing by with their hands in their pockets.
I now understand everything.
The dance hall is not Xiaojia Village, nor is it a new town; it doesn't require a long-term neighborly relationship.
This is the martial world, where strength determines the fate of the land, and whoever wins is the law.
Xiao Cheng's battle just now was to establish his authority, to intimidate, and to fire the first shot in opening a store in Pingcheng.
If they were to concede now, it would be to drag down the prestige that Xiao Cheng had worked so hard to build.
The respect shown to Xiao Cheng by the counter staff, the Tian Shang security team, and various forces lurking in the shadows gathering inside information will drop significantly, falling to the lowest point.
Even the forces behind Tianshang Dance Hall might question Xiao Cheng's status in the martial arts world.
This is very unfavorable for Xiao Cheng's business in Pingcheng. Whether he can even open a store is unknown, let alone operate it.
The road to opening a store will inevitably be fraught with obstacles.
