Chapter 17 Li Yanzhou Injured
"Where do you want to go?"
Li Yanzhou looked at her with a smile, his gaze even carrying a hint of doting.
He was in a good mood today and didn't mind accompanying her to some other places.
"I want to drink the 'Bo Ya's Broken String' wine."
Luo Tingwei didn't know what she was thinking, but suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Upon hearing this, the man narrowed his eyes. "What is that?"
**
The Maybach drove up to the entrance of a shopping mall in the city center.
The driver said respectfully, "We've arrived, Mr. Li."
Li Yanzhou hadn't been to a shopping mall in centuries. He glanced out the car window and found it quite novel.
Are you sure you have what you're looking for here?
He had never heard of any kind of tea called "Ba".
Luo Tingwei rolled her eyes. "On the third floor."
So the two got out of the car and walked side by side at the front, with several bodyguards still following at a distance behind them.
Because both of them are very good-looking, passersby couldn't help but take a second look.
Handsome men and beautiful women.
Upon reaching the third floor, the waiter asked, "How many drinks would you like?"
Luo Tingwei thought for a moment, then glanced back at him. "Do you want some?"
Li Yanzhou was on the phone and nodded ambiguously.
So it turned into two people, each holding a cup of milk tea, walking through the mall.
They really do look like a couple.
Luo Tingwei took a big gulp, turned her head to the side, and asked almost involuntarily, "Is it good?"
She was just curious, after all, it was her recommendation.
Although Li Yanzhou's expression was one of disgust, he still cooperated and said, "It's alright."
Passing by a cat-themed mart, Luo Tingwei's eyes lit up, and she darted inside.
As soon as the clerk saw her, he shook his head and said, "We don't have Labobo anymore."
Upon hearing this, the light in her eyes dimmed again, and she sighed.
He was in a good mood today, so he brought her out.
After going back, I don't know when I'll be able to come to the mall again.
It seems I'm completely out of luck with Labobo.
Seeing her looking dejected, Li Yanzhou asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Tingwei said that the little doll she wanted was sold out; it's recently become a global sensation and is in high demand.
As she spoke, she showed him pictures of Labobo.
Li Yanzhou looked at the little thing with a forced smile, his heart completely unmoved.
"You really want it?"
He frowned as he looked at her disappointed eyes.
"Um."
Luo Tingwei really wanted it.
The night before he broke into the Luo family home, she had prepared to rob them the next day.
As a result... he failed to catch the box, and the entire Luo family was wiped out instead.
She was taken away and arrested at his villa; she didn't even have time to grab her phone.
Li Yanzhou dialed a number, and soon the mall manager arrived, followed by a man. Both of them were extremely respectful.
The mall manager immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, saying in a fawning tone, "Mr. Li, this is the person in charge of this store."
Li Yanzhou glanced at the newcomers, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then showed them the pictures he was holding.
"Can you order this now?"
The person in charge immediately agreed, "No problem, Mr. Li. Which generation do you need, and how many?"
Li Yanzhou glanced at the description on the picture and said without thinking, "Adjust every style that can be adjusted, the more the better."
The person in charge was taken aback for a moment, but immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, no problem, I'll arrange it right away. It will take about an hour. You and this lady can go to our VIP lounge to rest for a while."
Luo Tingwei stood to the side, completely stunned.
What kind of operation is this?
Seeing them address him as "President Li" repeatedly, Luo Tingwei wondered to herself, "Has Li Yanzhou's influence in Black City reached this level?"
In the VIP room, her curiosity finally got the better of her, and she couldn't help but ask him. He merely glanced at her lazily and gave a dismissive reply.
"This shopping mall is owned by my family."
Luo Tingwei's face twitched.
She originally thought he only dealt in underground illicit activities like arms dealing, but she never expected him to be involved in business as well.
Finally, Labobo was packed in burlap sacks.
It filled two large bags.
Looking at the Labobo logo scattered all over the ground, Luo Tingwei felt like she was dreaming.
Li Yanzhou pinched her cheek. "Little princess, do you like it?"
I like it, but things are valued for their rarity; having too much of it makes it seem worthless.
Luo Tingwei smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Why is your smile so forced? Give me a proper laugh."
He grabbed her chin and stared down into her eyes.
Luo Tingwei smiled again, this time a little sweeter than before.
Li Yanzhou was neither particularly satisfied nor dissatisfied; he simply smiled slightly and said, "Next time, make it even more dazzling."
So, they let her go.
"Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?" he asked her, glancing at his watch.
Luo Tingwei knew when to stop, saying, "That's all."
Let's go.
The man stood up first, and two bodyguards, being very perceptive, came forward to take the items.
As soon as they stepped out of the mall, a flower seller who was wandering on the street saw them and came up to them.
"Sir, why don't you buy your girlfriend a flower?"
The little girl had barely opened her mouth in a pitiful voice when the bodyguard stepped forward and shoved her aside. She lost her balance and fell to the ground, scattering the roses she was holding all over the floor.
Li Yanzhou continued walking forward expressionlessly.
Luo Tingwei couldn't bear to look back, only to see the other person struggling to get up, covered in mud.
"Wait a moment."
She called out to him, then ran to the girl's side and helped her up. "Are you alright?"
Li Yanzhou frowned. "Come back. Don't meddle in other people's business."
The bodyguards always used just the right amount of force, enough to keep her from falling.
This was clearly intentional.
Luo Tingwei hadn't expected him to be so cold, and all her previous goodwill towards him vanished instantly. She retorted,
"Your people pushed her, what if she gets hurt?"
“If she’s injured, take her to the hospital,” Li Yanzhou said patiently.
Upon seeing this, the little girl immediately said, "Sister, I don't need to go to the hospital. Can you ask my brother to buy me flowers?"
Luo Tingwei then gazed intently at the man not far away.
"I want this rose."
She looked at him and tentatively asked, "Could you buy me some?"
Li Yanzhou really couldn't do anything with her, so he went over and bought all the roses.
"Are you satisfied now, my little darling?"
"Come on, come home with me."
However, at that moment, a cold glint flashed.
Before she could react, a force pushed her away.
In a few quick movements, several more dark figures swept past.
The flower girl was pinned to the ground by three bodyguards, and the knife she was holding fell to the ground with a thud.
She was shocked and turned her gaze to see Li Yanzhou clutching his arm, his expression not good, with blood still gushing out.
