Jiang Tian and Li Xiu stared at each other for several seconds before she finally looked away, saying, "I didn't plan to do anything, I just want to make money to spend."
Someone who truly wants to make money from this kind of place wouldn't be in Jiang Tian's state.
Li Xiu is good at reading people's minds. In the days and nights when he is disliked by others, he always uses observing other people's emotions as a spice in his boring life.
But he couldn't quite figure out Jiang Tian's thoughts.
The two of them stayed quietly for a while, neither of them spoke, but it wasn't awkward.
After the last time the two of them had dinner together, Li Xiu was no longer so disgusted by Jiang Tian's approach.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiu's business partner was about to give up.
He had drunk quite a bit, and swaying unsteadily, he stood up, arm in arm with the person next to him. He greeted Li Xiu, "President Li, you can drink here for now. I... I can't go on anymore. I need to find somewhere to catch my breath—"
The girl next to him also gave Li Xiu an apologetic smile.
Li Xiu nodded; this kind of thing was common, and he didn't find it strange.
But after they left, Jiang Tian asked him, "Was that person very important to Mr. Li?"
This time, Li Xiu's tone was more serious: "What do you want to do? Don't have any improper thoughts. With your status, going against others is like throwing an egg against a rock."
Jiang Tian smiled radiantly, clearly pleased that Li Xiu had touched upon a small part of the truth.
"Then I won't hide it from Mr. Li, I came here on purpose today."
Li Xiu's expression remained unchanged.
“If you have a good memory, you should remember the last time I knocked someone unconscious with a brick. Later, due to various concerns, I didn’t go to the police station. After he recovered from his injuries, he came back to me, but I refused to see him again.”
“He was afraid of encountering someone like you again, but he was also unwilling to give up so much on me and get nothing in return. So he gave me to the owner behind this club.”
Li Xiu's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Tian reached out and touched her face: "Maybe my face does have some use. That boss has taken a liking to me. He should be over fifty this year. If I were to work for him, I wouldn't even be in the top three. I'd probably be in the top seven, eight, or nine."
“I didn’t want to, so he threatened me in various ways to make me come here to work and see the suffering of people. He just wanted me to be obedient. Fortunately, I didn’t need to remain chaste, so I ended up in this private room.”
"I thought, since we've already come this far, let's just go all out."
"I'm going to call the police."
Jiang Tian's tone was calm and even, just like her personality—gentle, serene, and as still as water.
Many people who meet her might think she has no temper.
However, when she actually encounters a problem, her sharp edges will become apparent.
Even if her edges aren't sharp, it's not an exaggeration.
But when the flood comes, everyone will be submerged.
She possesses a do-or-die courage.
Looking into Jiang Tian's serene eyes, Li Xiu felt a strange, gentle stirring in his heart.
He looked at Jiang Tian and evaluated her objectively: "Your efforts are likely to be in vain. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Since he can open it, he must have many connections."
"I'm fine with going in, as long as I'm not bullied anymore."
Li Xiu looked at Jiang Tian; she hadn't lied to him.
Eyes don't lie; she was prepared to fight those people to the death.
But she didn't realize that even if she went in and came out again, she would never be let go.
Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "If it's convenient for Mr. Li, you should take your business partner away first. I'll call the police later, and it wouldn't be good if it affected your business negotiations."
It was the dead of night, and in the darkness, countless people were indulging in their filthy desires.
Jiang Tian's choice of this time period was clearly the result of careful consideration.
Li Xiu's fingers tapped unconsciously.
Jiang Tian stood up first and nodded gently to Li Xiu: "Then Mr. Li, I'll go do my business first."
"Wait—" Li Xiu's voice was unreadable.
Jiang Tian stopped in her tracks.
Li Xiu continued, "I'll help you."
