Cheng Qicai watched as the call timer ticked away, and the call hadn't ended. She put the phone to her ear.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, this is Cheng Qicai. I'm sorry, Brother Gu is drunk and dialed the wrong number..."
Gu Rongqi could easily hear the deafening music coming from the other end, and he could also tell that Gu Liji was drunk. He frowned and asked, "Where are you? Just the two of you?"
"Well, just... two people, I... Night Moon Bar..." Cheng Qicai's voice was almost drowned out by the music, and you had to listen very carefully to make out what she was saying. Even so, he could only catch a few words she uttered from time to time.
Suddenly her voice rose, "Hey, what are you doing... beep beep!"
Gu Rongqi only had time to hear this angry roar before the call was immediately disconnected.
When he dialed back, no one answered the phone for a long time.
The furrows between his brows deepened, and without the slightest hesitation, he quickly grabbed his overcoat and put it on as he walked.
“Rongqi, this is the time for your birthday banquet tomorrow…” Wang Ben saw Gu Rongqi coming downstairs and quickly handed him the timetable.
Gu Rongqi's gaze didn't fall on the timetable in his hand. Instead, he looked at the doorway and said as he quickly passed by Wang Ben, "We'll talk about it when I get back."
"Rongqi, where are you going..." Seeing his hurried steps, Wang Ben wondered if something urgent had happened.
But before he could finish his question, Gu Rongqi's figure disappeared after he got the car keys.
A short while later, the rumbling sound of a car emerged from the garage and sped onto the road.
Gu Rongqi glanced at the navigation screen every now and then, his index finger tapping lightly on the steering wheel.
Night Moon Bar… He murmured to himself, then thought of Cheng Qicai’s panicked last moments on the phone, and how quickly she hung up…
The veins on his hands, which were gripping the steering wheel, bulged slightly as he turned the steering wheel, and he pressed the accelerator harder.
After parking the car, Gu Rongqi called Cheng Qicai's cell phone again. This time, the call was answered after two beeps.
"Hello! Mr. Gu?" Cheng Qicai's voice sounded normal, and there was no loud music in the background.
As Gu Rongqi spoke, he walked into the shop, asking, "Where are you?"
"At Night Moon Bar."
“I know,” Gu Rongqi replied, “I was asking where the Night Moon Bar is?”
"Huh? Mr. Gu, you're here?" Cheng Qicai asked in surprise. She checked her phone; only half an hour had passed since the last call.
Keep in mind that this place is quite far from Gu Rongqi's villa.
So this is what execution ability means to be a boss?
Cheng Qicai told him the location of the private room in the bar. Gu Rongqi simply said, "Wait there."
Cheng Qicai didn't understand why Gu Rongqi had come over and was so concerned about Gu Liji. The two really had a deep brotherly bond!
"Miss Cheng, about this matter..." the bar owner asked Cheng Qicai with a fawning smile.
Cheng Qicai said expressionlessly, "Let's wait until Young Master Gu's injuries are treated before we talk about it."
"But……"
The boss wanted to say something more, but Cheng Qicai interrupted him, "Are you sure you can make this decision?"
The boss remembered how Gu Liji had punched and kicked Zhen Guanxi and Jiang Menshen earlier, and he closed his mouth again.
Gu Rongqi went to the private room where Cheng Qicai was, knocked on the door and went in. He looked at the large group of people in the room, strode through the crowd and walked up to Cheng Qicai.
Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rong and stood up, then happily called out, "President Gu!"
Gu Rong nodded, looked her up and down, and seeing that she didn't seem injured, asked, "What happened? Why are there so many people?"
“Just now…” Cheng Qicai began to tell Gu Rongqi what had just happened.
When she saw that Gu Liji had dialed the wrong number, she ran to a quiet corner of the bar to call Gu Rongqi back. This way, she wouldn't be bumped into by the people coming and going, and she could still see Gu Liji.
But she had only said a couple of words when she saw a man bend down and do something to Gu Liji. The next second, she saw the man's hand climb onto Gu Liji's back.
That's when he got so scared that he yelled at the top of his lungs.
It was this shout that woke Gu Liji, who had been lying down asleep. He was startled when he saw a disgusting big face and punched the lewd face.
The man was stunned by the punch, and his anger flared up instantly. He wanted to fight back, but Gu Liji was drunk and his punches were haphazard, which gave the man an opportunity to retaliate. The one-sided beating turned into a mutual fight.
Seeing the two wrestling, Cheng Qicai rushed over, and that's when the call ended.
She knew that rushing in to help would be futile, so she went directly to the bartender and asked him to call for help to separate the two.
The two were separated, and Cheng Qicai asked the boss who had arrived to take them to an empty room so as not to disturb others, and also because it wouldn't be good for others to keep watching the commotion.
Both men were injured, but the man's injuries were much more serious. Cheng Qicai was unsure whether to call the police, and whether the other man's injuries would lead to Gu Liji being convicted of excessive self-defense.
Furthermore, Gu Liji is currently unconscious, and she doesn't know what he's thinking.
The lewd man was still yelling that he would sue them, and even tried to pull Cheng Qicai away.
Cheng Qicai took a step back, dodging his hand, and impatiently called for someone to pull him away. She warned, "I advise you to save your energy now. There are surveillance cameras in the bar. This matter is not up to you, but up to the law."
Upon hearing the surveillance footage, the lewd man immediately shut up, looking somewhat frightened as he glanced around as if he wanted to run away.
But the private room was now surrounded by people, so he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
...
After Cheng Qicai finished speaking, she said, "That's how it is."
"I'll handle this." Gu Rongqi took over the matter directly and made a few phone calls.
After he finished speaking, he asked, "Where is the Guliji person?"
Cheng Qicai replied, "The wound is being treated next door."
The two walked to the next private room and saw Gu Liji lying on the sofa, fast asleep with his face covered in bruises.
Gu Rong bent down and nudged him. Gu Liji opened his eyes a crack, still half asleep, and mumbled, "Su Ni, how come you've grown so tall and strong? You're even like a man now..."
Cheng Qicai laughed out loud, but when she saw Gu Rongqi turn to look at her, she coughed lightly and stopped laughing.
With a serious expression, he winked at Gu Rongqi.
But deep down, he was still thinking that Gu Liji was so drunk that he couldn't tell the difference between men and women. He called out the female lead's name, but he could also tell that she was a man!
Gu Rongqi stood up and walked to the door. Seeing Cheng Qicai still standing there, he turned back and called to her, "Let's go."
Cheng Qicai glanced at Gu Liji lying on the sofa, then followed him and asked, "Where's Brother Gu?"
Will you be so angry at Gu Liji's nonsense that you just ignore him?
But she soon realized she was overthinking it; Gu Rongqi had the bar owner find someone to help Gu Liji into his car.
