Cao Xue lit a cigarette and came over to me. He first glanced at the guy whose hand I had smashed with the bottle, then said with an exaggerated expression, "Look at you, such a refined-looking guy, you really went all out! ...Your hand is covered in glass shards, you must have used every ounce of strength you had, right?"
I let go of the man, then smiled at Cao Xue...
Cao Xue nodded, then turned to the man and said, "Is your hand injury alright? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
The man remained silent.
Cao Xue roared, "Are you fucking deaf?... I'm asking you if the injury on your hand is okay!"
"No...it's nothing."
"Should we go to the hospital?"
"Need not."
Cao Xue pointed at me and said to him, "Is your injury related to him?... If it is, talk to me about it, and I'll take responsibility for him... If it's not related, you can leave with your people now, and I'll pretend I didn't see anything."
The man looked hesitant and unwilling, but he clearly knew Cao Xue's bad reputation, so he didn't dare to confront Cao Xue directly. In the end, he chose to swallow his anger and, after glancing at me, left the bar with his men without saying a word.
I finally let out a heavy sigh of relief and sat down in the chair behind me... At the same time, I had a deeper understanding of interpersonal relationships. I dared not imagine what the consequences would be if I were to handle this matter alone.
I lit a cigarette, took a few deep drags, and said to Cao Xue, "Dude, you're really awesome! ...It was the right decision to come to you with this."
"Don't flatter me too much. All I'm good at is fighting... You're different. The one my uncle thinks is a real talent is the truly awesome one!"
I picked up two wine glasses from the table with one hand, filled them with wine, handed one to Cao Xue, and said, "No matter what, I have to thank you for this, and I'll remember this favor... I'll drink this glass first as a sign of respect."
After I finished my drink, Cao Xue also readily downed his glass of wine. The next moment, I turned my gaze to the bar owner. It was time to talk to him... What I despise most in my life is a scumbag like him who is dishonest and bullies others.
...
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly realized that Ye Zhi and Nicole were standing by the window. They didn't seem to have gone far, nor did they go to the pharmacy... So, they had seen me smash the bottle on someone.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that I seemed to have unconsciously said something I shouldn't have.
I said to the man who hurt Ye Zhi, "I can tolerate you showing off and acting tough with me today because you have the most people, but you can't mess with my woman... If you do, I'll take your life."
