The person who arrived was none other than the director of Emperor Bar—Xie Jun'an!
Long Ge and his two accomplices stammered, but Xie Jun'an paid them no heed and didn't even deign to glance at them. He walked straight up to Ye Xiao and knelt down on one knee, fists clasped in respect.
"Boss."
Two words, laced with helplessness and resoluteness.
The entire private room fell silent in an instant. Long Ge and the others bulged their eyes almost to the point of falling out.
Their director, the man who had developed Emperor Bar into the number one bar in Jiangzhou City in just four years, was kneeling in front of Ye Xiao!
"How long have we been working together?"
Ye Xiao swirled his wine glass, his expression indifferent.
"Four and a half years."
Xie Jun'an replied.
"Your wife and daughter aren't by your side, are they?"
"..." Xie Jun'an didn't answer.
"Was it the Sun Family who acted?"
"..." Xie Jun'an still didn't answer.
"You may rise."
"Yes!" Xie Jun'an nodded vigorously, tears in the corners of his eyes.
As the door of the private room closed, only then did some faint breathing noises start to fill the room again.
"The Sun Family has a long reach."
Ye Xiao put down his wine glass, rhythmically tapping his four fingers on the table, his gaze sweeping over Long Ge and the others who were shivering with fear.
It was this man!
He was the rumored true power behind the Emperor Bar!
"I... I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Long Ge feigned composure.
"You don't deserve to understand. I'm giving Sun Er two hours; if I have to go to him, it will mean something entirely different," Ye Xiao said indifferently.
The next moment, Long Ge felt as if Ye Xiao's whole face had become ferocious, like a demon with its gaping maw, exhaling a corrosive blood mist that was eroding his body.
Coming to his senses, Long Ge was drenched in cold sweat, and his legs were wet. When he looked at Ye Xiao again, Ye Xiao still wore his indifferent expression.
Murderous aura!
A murderous intent so intense it nearly scared him to death had induced a hallucination!
In the end, boundless fear compelled Long Ge to pull out his phone and make a call, "Second Master, someone at Emperor Bar is waiting for you."
"Let him wait." The phone was hung up after the response.
"Is Sun Er... really coming over?"
Someone muttered in disbelief, hardly daring to believe it.
Sun Er was indeed a hidden dragon of Jiangzhou City, a big shot whose words could shake the city, completely different from the likes of Long Ge who were still just thugs!
"Should be, coming, right?"
Someone looked at Ye Xiao uncertainly, taking a closer look and realizing that he possessed a different temperament from everyone else in the room.
Recalling the scene of Xie Jun'an kneeling in front of Ye Xiao, the boys who had previously fled from Zhou Yun's side immediately turned pale.
"This doesn't concern you much; it's my personal matter," said Ye Xiao, looking at Zhou Yun whose eyes were red, and spoke in a low comforting voice.
This girl was just like her father with a heart too kind.
"But..."
Zhou Yun wanted to say something, but the words died on her lips.
Would Ye Xiao have really come here if it weren't for her?
Now, for her sake, Ye Xiao had even become involved with Sun Er of Jiangzhou City.
That person, even a well-behaved schoolgirl like her had heard of his ill repute.
"I've said that I would support you even if the sky fell, but this really has nothing to do with you."
Ye Xiao explained.
Since Xie Jun'an entered, Zhao Jiahao hadn't spoken again, witnessing the whole sequence of events from beginning to end.
At this moment, while everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Xiao, Zhao Jiahao quietly made his way to the entrance of the room under the dim lights of the private booth.
Just by pushing open the door, he would be free!
"Did I say you could leave?"
Like the call of the Grim Reaper, Ye Xiao's voice came from behind Zhao Jiahao, causing him to shudder violently, almost collapsing to the ground.
"Are... are you talking to me?"
Zhao Jiahao turned around, forcing a smile and pointing to himself, feigning confusion.
"Drink this glass of wine, and you can go,"
Ye Xiao extended his hand and placed the glass of wine that Zhao Jiahao had poured for Zhou Yun earlier on the edge of the table.
Zhou Yun's complexion changed slightly, looking at Zhao Jiahao with shame and anger; she was indeed inexperienced, but she wasn't a fool.
"Zhao Jiahao! Are you even human?!" Wang Qian could no longer sit still.
But at this moment, Zhao Jiahao's eyes were fixed only on Ye Xiao; with an embarrassed smile, he said, "I... I can't drink anymore, if I do, I won't be able to go back later."
He certainly wouldn't admit that he had added something to the drink.
Hearing this, Ye Xiao simply smiled lightly, "Do you think I'm asking for your opinion?"
Almost instantly, tears began to flow from Zhao Jiahao's eyes.
He understood Ye Tian's meaning!
Drink the drugged wine and leave, or forever stay in this private booth!
In an instant, Zhao Jiahao made his decision.
In the face of life, dignity truly counts for nothing.
Moreover, as long as he drank this glass and immediately contacted his family, they would surely find a woman for him to vent his frustrations.
Without hesitation, Zhao Jiahao stepped forward, picked up the wine glass, and emptied its contents in one gulp.
As the last drop of wine went down his throat, Zhao Jiahao's breathing became a bit more rapid.
The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth lifted slightly as he slowly waved his hand, "Lock these three up in the toilet together."
The crowd's expressions froze upon hearing this, but Liu Feihong beside Ye Xiao had already moved.
Before Long Ge and the other two could resist, they only saw a shadow flash before them, and excruciating pain shot through their knees.
Crack!
Three sounds rang out, almost simultaneously, and Long Ge and the other two men sweat from their foreheads with pain, collapsing to the ground, clutching their broken knees, and screaming in agony.
"Ah!!"
This chilling sound nearly turned everyone in the booth pale.
What frightened them even more was that they hadn't even seen how Liu Feihong had struck!
"What... what are you trying to do?!"
Zhao Jiahao's eyes nearly split with rage, his breathing becoming even more frantic.
Locking him, already feeling the effects of the drug, in the toilet with Long Ge and the other two, whose legs had all been broken?
However, Ye Xiao no longer bothered with him, swirling the wine in his glass, taking a sip, and closing his eyes to rest.
Amid the agonizing howls, Zhao Jiahao and Long Ge with his group were dragged out by Liu Feihong.
Even as the sounds reached the bar's main hall, no one dared turn their head to glance in that direction.
What transpires in the Emperor Room of the Emperor Bar is not something they could interfere with!
In Jiangzhou City, the Emperor Bar is a symbol of status and stature.
And the Emperor Room of the Emperor Bar, true to its name, is a place where only the emperors among men have the privilege to enter.
To defy the heavens might have exceptions, but to defy the sovereign, there is no chance of survival!
Soon, the toilet echoed with the bestial roar and sounds of punches being thrown.
As time went on, the bestial roars began furiously but gradually weakened under the growing intensity of the punches, until the beast could only let out one final, resentful roar.
Throughout the ordeal, everyone seated in the hall trembled, gripping their glasses tightly.
Anyone capable of doing such things in the Emperor Bar without any staff coming to inquire must have a background that was extraordinarily formidable!
