When they reached the KTV and entered the private room, Lin Bai and Yu Jinmo found out that Zhang Li had invited a total of 20 to 30 people, more than half of whom were adults who had stepped out to join society.
The men and women in the private room were all drunk. Some of them were shaking dice and drinking, some were smoking and chatting, and some were simply lying on the sofa unconscious.
The entire private room was filled with smoke, and no one seemed to be a good person.
Lin Bai sulked immediately.
His intuition told him that Yu Jinmo's kidnapping was definitely related to this group of people.
Zhang Li, who was desperately trying to save up, was the most suspicious.
The others did not notice the arrival of Lin Bai and Yu Jinmo.
In fact, they might not even know that today's gathering was to so-called celebrate Yu Jinmo's birthday.
Only Zhang Li, who had been staring at the door, noticed their arrival and immediately won.
Zhang Li gave Yu Jinmo a warm hug and said loudly with a smile, "Little Mo, you're so beautiful today!"
Yu Jinmo frowned and felt very uncomfortable.
"Why did you call so many people... who are they?" Yu Jinmo asked.
She originally thought that Zhang Li had invited their mutual good friends and old classmates.
However, she did not expect that Zhang Li had invited strangers that she did not know.
Using the excuse of a birthday party to force her to come, but the room was full of strangers. What was going on!
Yu Jinmo was very unhappy, but due to her self-restraint, she did not express it directly.
Zhang Li did not seem to notice Yu Jinmo's mood at all, nor did she feel that there was anything wrong with her arrangements.
She continued to smile warmly and said, "They are all my colleagues, the professional bar atmosphere team!"
"It's a birthday celebration, so it's better to be lively, so I asked them to come over and help make the atmosphere more lively."
"How is it? Do you want to make it less lively?"
"..."
Yu Jinmo was speechless.
She really couldn't go against her heart and say that it was better for it to be more lively. She also felt that Zhang Li had good intentions, so she could only smile awkwardly and avoid this question.
Zhang Li pulled her to sit down. She handed her fruits and poured her wine. She was very attentive and considerate.
Yu Jinmo couldn't decline her hospitality, so she drank a few cups.
She didn't expect that it would be especially intoxicating. She quickly felt dizzy.
Zhang Li continued to persuade him to drink.
Yu Jinmo waved his hand repeatedly. "No, no, I'm dizzy. I can't drink anymore."
But Zhang Li said, "You've only had three glasses and you're already like this. You can't hold your liquor! When you go to work in the future and encounter occasions where you need to drink, won't you be at a disadvantage if you can't drink?"
"So, you have to take advantage of the fact that you haven't graduated yet to start practicing. If you drink more, your alcohol tolerance will naturally increase."
After saying that, she wanted to make Lin Bai drink as well.
"Lin Bai, Jinmo usually talks about you all the time. Today, I finally have the chance to meet you in person, Haha."
"Since you're Jinmo's favorite person, you're my friend."
"If you need me for anything in the future, don't stand on ceremony."
"Come, come, Cheers! Cheers! After drinking this glass of wine, we'll be good friends!"
As she said this, Zhang Li downed all the wine in the glass in one go. Then, she looked at Lin Bai with a smile.
Her meaning was very obvious. If Lin Bai didn't drink this glass of wine, it meant that he didn't treat her as a friend and didn't take the friendship between her and Yu Jinmo seriously.
If it were any other time, Lin Bai might have taken Yu Jinmo into consideration and dealt with this glass of wine.
However, there was clearly something wrong with today's situation. If Lin Bai were to drink again, he would be making a fool of himself.
Lin Bai placed the glass of wine on the table gently.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a good liquor level."
Tension built up.
Yu Jinmo quickly tried to mediate the situation.
She pretended to be extremely possessive and hugged Lin Bai's arm.
"My boyfriend can only drink with me."
"Hehehe, Zhang Li, don't be unhappy. You are all the people I care about the most. I will drink this wine for him."
Then she picked up Lin Bai's wine glass and drank it all with a frown.
She was already drunk and forced herself to drink a full glass. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.
She couldn't hear what Zhang Li said at all. She only felt that her stomach was churning and something was constantly surging up.
She quickly got up, covered her mouth, and staggered out.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Li quickly said to Lin Bai, "Sit down, I'll go accompany her!"
After saying that, she chased after Yu Jinmo and ran out.
Lin Bai didn't hesitate and also chased after her.
Zhang Li's words and actions today were really too suspicious.
He couldn't let Zhang Li and Yu Jinmo be alone together.
The bathroom was a little far away. After leaving the private room, he had to make a turn and walk more than 20 meters to reach it.
However, when Lin Bai ran around the corner, he found that the corridor in front of him was empty. There was not even a person in sight.
Yu Jinmo was so drunk that she walked unsteadily. It was impossible for her to be that fast.
Lin Bai immediately turned around without thinking and ran in the opposite direction.
As he had expected, there was a safety passage on the other side of the corridor.
He held his breath and listened quietly. The echo of his footsteps was very obvious.
Moreover, it was very messy. There were at least three or four people.
There were also muffled groans. It was obvious that someone had been forced to cover their mouth.
"Damn it! It's really her!"
Lin Bai cursed in his heart. He supported himself with one hand on the handrail of the stairs and directly jumped down.
He landed, supported himself, and jumped again.
The entire process was smooth and agile.
However, the other party's speed was not slow either. By the time Lin Bai reached the first floor, they had already carried Yu Jinmo out of the building!
"Put her down!"
Lin Bai shouted and flew forward, punching the kidnapper in the face!
The kidnapper instinctively dodged, but just as he thought of this, Lin Bai's fist had already smashed into his face!
Bang!
The kidnapper was sent flying for several meters before he landed heavily on the ground. Under the force of inertia, he slid for a long distance before he barely managed to stop.
The poor kidnapper did not even have the time to scream before he fainted completely.
When the other two kidnappers saw this, they quickly exchanged glances and decisively left Yu Jinmo behind.
Then, one on the left and one on the right, they attacked at the same time!
This series of reactions was extremely fast, but in Lin Bai's eyes, it was like a slow-motion scene from a movie.
Lin Bai watched as the two of them "slowly" pounced on him. He easily dodged to the right and avoided the fist that came from the left.
Then, he leaned back and the dagger on the right missed.
After getting up, Lin Bai decisively grabbed the other party's wrist and twisted it.
With a crisp crack, the kidnapper's right forearm was completely fractured, and his entire arm twisted at a strange angle.
Lin Bai easily snatched his dagger. He raised his hand and slashed, and a thin line of blood immediately appeared on the neck of the kidnapper on the left.
