Surrounded by a dozen or so people, Jun Jiuge was not at a disadvantage at all. But just then, the bar's bodyguards arrived, and the duty manager ordered them, "Anyone who dares to cause trouble here is not allowed to leave."
More than a dozen bodyguards immediately joined the battle, and Qiao Xi quickly broke through the encirclement to reunite with Jun Jiuge.
When Jun Jiuge saw Qiao Xi return, her face instantly darkened. "Why did you come back?"
"I didn't leave." As she answered her question, Qiao Xi kicked the other woman in the stomach.
However, things have now descended into a chaotic melee, with the bar's bodyguards attacking both sides, so Qiao Xi and Jun Jiuge are facing more than just those ten people.
"I'll leave the bodyguards to you. You handle them?" Qiao Xi glanced at the number of people on both sides; it was about the same.
Jun Jiuge replied unappreciatively, "Just don't get in the way."
Although Qiao Xi had learned self-defense techniques for a few years, she never had the chance to fight anyone in her previous life. In this life, she had only dealt with those who were powerless. Now, this can be considered a real battle.
Compared to Jun Jiuge, she seemed too weak, but she could still handle these small fry.
However, the further she went, the less stamina she had. Just as Luo Yao's stick was about to hit her head, Jun Jiuge kicked the person away for her.
Jun Jiuge could tell that Qiao Xi was exhausted, so she stood behind Qiao Xi and said back to back, "Let's retreat first."
"Okay." Qiao Xi raised both hands in agreement. If they continued to waste time, she would not only be unable to help, but might also implicate Jun Jiuge.
Jun Jiuge covered for her, saying, "You go first."
Qiao Xi said without hesitation, "Let's go together."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her otherwise, Jun Jiuge had no choice but to agree.
After exchanging a glance, the two began to retreat towards the door. The bar's bodyguards seemed to know they were planning to escape and tried to surround them from behind, but they managed to get out before the bodyguards could.
Li Xiaoxiao was waiting for them at the door. When she saw them come out, she waved to them. But when she saw the people chasing after them, she quickly started the car.
"Get in the car!" Li Xiaoxiao drove her red sports car and drifted around a corner; this was the first time she had ever dared to drift.
Qiao Xi and Jun Jiuge quickly opened the car door and got in. Li Xiaoxiao stepped on the gas, shaking off the bodyguards.
Looking at the bodyguards still chasing after them on foot, Qiao Xi let out a long sigh and slumped in her seat. Jun Jiuge also relaxed, but she wasn't as exaggerated as Qiao Xi; she looked like someone who had been through countless battles.
If Qiao Xi hadn't been there today, she wouldn't have paid any attention to those people; it would have just taken her a while. However, she couldn't be too high-profile, or she would be in trouble if those people discovered her.
The bodyguards chasing behind had completely disappeared from sight, presumably having given up, but the car was still moving at full speed. With a red light just ahead, Li Xiaoxiao showed no intention of slowing down.
"Xiaoxiao, the light's red." Qiao Xi had to remind her.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly snapped out of her daze and slammed on the brakes, nearly throwing Qiao Xi and Jun Jiuge off the back seat.
"Li, are you alright?" Qiao Xi asked with concern.
Li Xiaoxiao's hands were still trembling. She turned around and looked at Qiao Xi and the others, sobbing, "I was so scared."
Qiao Xi quickly reassured her, "It's alright, you're safe now."
"I've never encountered anything like this before." The more Li Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She had seen many similar cases, but had never been involved in one herself. She never expected to encounter it today.
Qiao Xi completely understood her feelings. She was the one who dragged her into this, but it happened so suddenly that she didn't have time to think about it.
Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was still trembling, Qiao Xi said to her apologetically, "Pull over, I'll drive."
"Okay." Li Xiaoxiao nodded and slowly drove the car to the side of the road.
After the car came to a stop, Jun Jiuge was the first to get out. She still had a blank expression on her face and coldly greeted them, "I'm leaving first."
"Stop." Li Xiaoxiao used the same tactics she used on Qiao Xi to block Jun Jiuge's path.
Although she was still in shock, there was one thing she would never forget: she and Qiao Xi had saved Jun Jiuge!
She said angrily to Jun Jiuge, "Jun Jiuge, we saved you today, aren't you going to say thank you?"
"Thanks." Jun Jiuge's thanks lacked any sincerity.
However, Li Xiaoxiao surprisingly didn't hold it against her. Instead, she suddenly asked her, "How come you ended up working as a waitress there?"
Jun Jiuge didn't intend to answer Li Xiaoxiao's question. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Qiao Xi immediately leaned in and said, "I'm a little hungry. How about we go somewhere else to eat?"
"You guys go ahead," Jun Jiuge said directly, refusing the offer.
Qiao Xi invited her again, saying, "Come on, we're practically brothers now, aren't we?"
Li Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly, "Yes."
There happened to be a roadside stall near the parking lot. Qiao Xi spotted one and then took Jun Jiuge's hand, leading them there.
Worried that Jun Jiuge would run away, Li Xiaoxiao grabbed her other arm and, together with Qiao Xi, helped her get onto the stall.
However, Li Xiaoxiao had strong opinions about the dining environment. "Are we going to eat here?"
"Let's choose the nearest place, so we don't have to look for a place," Qiao Xi persuaded her.
Still unable to accept it, Li Xiaoxiao pointed ahead and said, "There's a nice Chinese restaurant a little further ahead."
"They should be closing by now, right?" Qiao Xi noticed the clock hanging on the barbecue cart; it was almost ten o'clock.
Li Xiaoxiao was so frustrated that she had to give up the idea of changing places. However, she didn't have much of an appetite, and her heart was still pounding wildly, and she couldn't calm down anytime soon.
"Boss, a dozen beers, please." Jun Jiuge waved to the boss directly.
The boss immediately nodded to her, "Okay."
"Just bring out whatever food you think is appropriate," Qiao Xi added.
The boss replied, "Understood."
The president's office of Dihua Group.
As time ticked by, Qi Jincheng had sent Qiao Xi countless messages, but she hadn't replied to a single one. He had also made several phone calls, but no one answered.
In the past, no matter when or where, Xi'er would always reply to his message as soon as she saw it. Either her phone was out of battery or she was too busy to reply, she would reply to him.
But she still hasn't sent him the address!
