Chapter 108 The Worst Case Is Starting Over
At this moment, Li Yang sat in the car, listening to his subordinate’s report, still somewhat shaken.
Logically, this kind of panic shouldn’t appear on someone like him. After all, he was the underworld boss of Ninghai. Was it necessary to lose composure like this?
“Boss, two brothers are dead, twelve seriously injured, almost all had their arms cut off with a single slash, though the severed limbs might still be reattached with some effort.”
Li Yang remained silent, but his fingers were visibly trembling.
How could that top-tier young master from the capital possess such formidable strength? Even his most elite fighters couldn’t do something like this!
“Boss, he was incredibly strong. He cut off seven people’s arms with just one slash, literally just one!” The subordinate responsible for tallying the casualties was still in shock: “I was at the scene. I just saw him turn around, a flash of his blade, and suddenly a group of people all lost their arms!”
Li Yang felt he could barely breathe, as if something was choking him! Every organ in his body was trembling!
A top-tier young master was truly deserving of the title, especially one from such an outstanding family! Otherwise, how could he have subdued the unruly Tailong Sheng?
“Boss, the two people he killed were both our hall masters, both had their throats pierced by a military dagger.” The subordinate’s voice was noticeably dry: “Should we report this to the police?”
Li Yang glared at him: “Has your brain stopped working? Black society gangs fighting each other, and you want to call the police? Who do you want them to arrest? Even though we have good relationships with several bureau chiefs, if he reveals his identity, our connections won’t save us no matter how strong they are!”
“Boss, is it really that serious? He killed our brothers, are we just going to let it go?”
“Those brothers were our elites. Do you think I don’t feel heartbroken about their fate? Do you think I don’t hate this?” Li Yang sighed: “But when this master wants to kill, what can I say? It’s already my luck that he hasn’t come after me yet. If one day he wants to kill me, I won’t have any ability to resist.”
Upon hearing this, the car fell silent.
Indeed, Su Rui’s dazzling appearance tonight had truly shocked them, whether it was his powerful martial arts or his commanding presence that silenced Tailong Sheng with just a word, all of it filled them with fear.
“Boss, what should we do next? What if he gathers his people and comes after us?”
“He doesn’t even need to gather people. He alone would be enough!”
Li Yang’s voice carried a hint of misery and deep dejection!
“Tomorrow morning, go directly to my home to pick me up. I need to apologize with thorns on my back. I must beg for his forgiveness.” Li Yang clenched his fist and said: “For my sake, for your sake, and for the Green Dragon Gang to continue surviving in Ninghai.”
His subordinates looked at Li Yang’s profile and clearly noticed the white hair emerging at his temples!
…
Everyone had left, and only Su Rui and Xue Ruyun remained at the scene, along with the gradually dissipating smell of blood.
“No matter what, I have to thank you for today.” Xue Ruyun’s beautiful eyes gazed at Su Rui with sincere gratitude.
Indeed, without Su Rui, the consequences today would have been unimaginable. With over two hundred people charging into the bar to slash and kill under the direct command of gang boss Li Yang, she definitely couldn’t have resisted. The final result would certainly have been her being captured by Xue Yang, and what would happen after that was all too predictable!
Xue Ruyun knew that great favors need no words of thanks, but this kind of debt couldn’t be repaid even if she offered herself to him.
Moreover, in Xue Ruyun’s eyes, Su Rui’s identity was becoming increasingly mysterious. Would a person with such status even need her to offer herself? Perhaps he wouldn’t even be interested!
Wait, offer herself? If Su Rui heard that, he might actually think it was worth trying!
“I told you, if you keep thanking me like this, I’ll continue to spank you.” Su Rui looked at Xue Ruyun’s buttocks, feeling somewhat restless again.
Earlier when Xue Ruyun kicked Xue Yang, Su Rui had clearly glimpsed under her skirt. Although she was wearing safety shorts, her full thighs were still completely visible to him.
“Forget about spanking, even if I offered myself to you, I couldn’t repay this debt.” Xue Ruyun finally expressed her thoughts, and she wasn’t joking.
Su Rui’s eyes immediately lit up as he looked at Xue Ruyun’s full, perky figure, feeling quite tempted.
However, this guy suddenly seemed to think of something, deflated, then rubbed his nose and said awkwardly: “That won’t be necessary. We’re on the same side, no need to be so formal.”
Xue Ruyun’s long, alluring eyes held an ambiguous smile: “Are you sure? You really don’t want me to repay you?”
“Really, really, no need. Hehe, I’m a gentleman, even more virtuous than Liu Xiahui. How could I think of such improper things? That’s not my style at all.”
Xue Ruyun stepped forward, getting closer to Su Rui, who could now clearly feel her warm breath.
“Well then, I’ll respect your opinion on this matter.”
After saying this, Xue Ruyun turned around and walked back toward the bar.
Su Rui, watching her alluring figure, slapped himself: “So useless, so useless! You’re clearly a scoundrel, why pretend to be a gentleman? Great, now the duck that was almost in your hands has flown away!”
A smile crept onto Xue Ruyun’s lips.
What she didn’t know was that Su Rui was truly afraid of embarrassing himself in that department. Xue Ruyun, this premium mature woman, was an infinite temptation for any man. Su Rui had merely spanked her once and it had made his heart flutter for an hour. If they were to actually engage in the real thing, wouldn’t he finish in seconds?
…
“Smashed up like this, it’ll cost quite a bit to restore, won’t it?” Su Rui looked at the devastated bar, smelling the thick scent of blood in the air.
“It will indeed require some money, but you stopped it in time, so the damage isn’t too severe.” Xue Ruyun tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear, “My annual salary at Bikang Group should be enough to cover it.”
Su Rui smiled, seemingly not concerned about the substantial sum at all.
“But this money shouldn’t come from you anyway. Don’t worry, I’ll make Li Yang handle this properly.” Su Rui’s eyes flashed with a dazzling light as he said this: “He smashed your bar, so he should compensate you with a new one. He hurt your people, so he should become your dog.”
Su Rui’s words were blunt, even crude, but they clearly and sharply conveyed his thoughts. Standing beside him, Xue Ruyun clearly felt an unstoppable sharpness emanating from his words!
Making gang boss Li Yang become a dog? To anyone else, what kind of fool would say such a thing? Perhaps even the young masters from the capital couldn’t achieve this!
But Xue Ruyun didn’t doubt the truth of his words at all. In her eyes, Su Rui truly had the qualifications to say such things.
Su Rui lightly tapped the congealed, sticky blood on the ground with his toe: “Actually, money is a small matter. This bar experienced a large-scale slashing incident tonight, and those regular customers probably won’t come back. After all, who wants to risk their lives to dance?”
This was the key issue. After this disaster, it would take a very long time to restore the bar’s former popularity. It might even never recover.
Xue Ruyun pondered this. Indeed, on this point, she had no good solution either. She could only rely on time to make people gradually forget about this incident.
“It’s fine. Worst case, I’ll just sell the bar and focus on being the marketing director at Bikang. Then I won’t have so many things to worry about.” Xue Ruyun said with a bitter smile.
“Sell the bar and go back to work? How can that be?” Su Rui immediately objected upon hearing this. Others might not know, but he could see that this Max Bar was Xue Ruyun’s years of hard work and her stronghold for counterattacking the Xue family. If she were to truly begin her counterattack and revenge, this bar would be her most important base.
If she really sold the bar, it would be equivalent to giving up everything, with no chance to start over.
“Don’t worry, the bar’s popularity can be restored.” Su Rui raised his eyebrows: “If I say it can be done, then it definitely can be done.”
Xue Ruyun believed the words of this young man. His confidence was beyond question.
“Want a drink?”
Xue Ruyun suggested.
“Sure.” Su Rui naturally wouldn’t refuse this proposal.
It seemed that at a time like this, drinking a “Rouge Blood” would feel particularly meaningful, especially when prepared by the creator of this cocktail herself.
The servers had long since fled to who knows where. Xue Ruyun stood behind the bar, her hands moving in a dazzling dance, giving the act of mixing drinks great beauty and artistic sense.
On such a night, in this vast bar with only two people, watching an exquisite beauty perform these movements before him, Su Rui found himself somewhat entranced.
“You know how to mix drinks too?”
“Of course, I learned in college. I was once a highly sought-after amateur bartender.” Xue Ruyun smiled: “I’m not lying, with me there, those bars’ business would always improve.”
Su Rui nodded: “Yes, they were definitely attracted by your figure.”
“Alright, try it.”
Xue Ruyun placed two glasses of blood-red drinks in front of Su Rui.
Looking at the intoxicating color, Su Rui held the stem glass, gently swirling the drink, then took a sip.
Smelling the bloody scent in the bar while drinking this glass of “Rouge Blood,” Su Rui felt somewhat lost, a sense of déjà vu floating up in his mind.
The scene before his eyes seemed to change, returning to a bar filled with corpses. Su Rui was covered in blood, one hand holding a gun, the other holding a glass of “Bloody Mary,” famous in the Western underworld. On his chest hung a shining Sun Medal.
