After getting out of the car, Zhu Li made a phone call, which was obviously to ask an acquaintance which private room Zhang Xingkai was in at the bar.
Having found out, she walked into the bar shoulder to shoulder with Luo Yang, followed by a large group of people.
The layout inside Night Elf Bar was similar to Laixi Bar, with open seating on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. They went straight upstairs to room 205, where they could hear Zhang Xingkai's laughter.
Luo Yang twisted the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.
The room suddenly fell silent, save for the karaoke music from the speakers. On the sofa, Zhang Xingkai was flanked by women on both sides, and besides him, there were several young men and women.
Upon seeing Luo Yang, Zhang Xingkai was stunned. He had been mingling in Jianghu for many years and had a tough psyche, so his expression of surprise quickly faded.
"You bastard, I was looking for you, and here you come to me! Good! Good! Good!" Zhang Xingkai clapped for himself.
The others were not as calm as he was, after all, there was a large group of people standing at the door that obviously came with Luo Yang, to grandly put it, if each one just spit a mouthful of saliva, they could drown him in it.
Several hostesses bowed to Luo Yang and then filed out of the private room.
Then only Zhang Xingkai and his friends remained in the room, the young men and women's faces filled with panic, mostly worried about being beaten.
"It's time to settle our accounts!" Luo Yang crooked his finger, signaling Zhang Xingkai to stand up.
"I heard you're quite the fighter, I wonder if you can beat me!" Zhang Xingkai took off his sunglasses from his head, threw them onto the sofa, stood up, and walked over to Luo Yang.
Truth be told, if it wasn't for the True Qi inside his body, let alone fight Zhang Xingkai, just standing in front of him would be a lot of pressure. After all, the man was about one eighty-five meters tall, not for usage, but for looks.
Seeing Zhang Xingkai, Luo Yang's anger suddenly surged. He was clear in his mind that he might be a little stronger than Zhang Xingkai, but Zhang Xingkai had a solid foundation in martial arts, more fighting skills, and experience. In fact, Zhang Xingkai had the advantage.
However, Zhang Xingkai had fought with Zhu Li not long ago and injured two ribs, which hadn't yet healed. That was his weak point.
At this moment, someone at the door of the private room suddenly shouted loudly, "Let's talk this out nicely!"
Then a man dressed in a suit, wearing a tie, emerged, clearly the manager of the bar.
Outside the private room, dozens of people were already crammed there.
The man in the suit was all smiles, introducing himself, "I am the manager of the bar." His tone shifted as he continued, "You should know whose turf this is. Big Brother B does not permit any fighting here. If you have any grievances, please take them outside. As long as the customers are in the bar, this matter is Big Brother B's to handle."
This gave Zhang Xingkai the time to call for backup.
"What do you think? Want to cause a scene in Big Brother B's turf? I want to see if you've got the guts. Come on." Zhang Xingkai, after making his call, stuck his head in Luo Yang's face and sneered.
Luo Yang, being young, wouldn't consider so much. He was in a rage, and indeed hesitated a bit when the man in the suit came in and spoke, but Zhang Xingkai's provocation instantly sent him through the roof, and he swung his fist to strike Zhang Xingkai's face.
With a loud thud, Zhang Xingkai fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a moment.
"You dare to get out of hand in Big Brother B's place?! Do you know how many of Big Brother B's brothers are outside?!" the man in the suit said with wide eyes.
Luo Yang knew this was someone else's territory, and as the saying goes, even a strong dragon can't crush a local snake. If it really came down to a fight, he and Zhu Li would definitely be at a disadvantage, especially since the other party would have many more people to call on.
Outside the door in the corridor, young men were already starting to fight, with yelling and shouts filling the air. Zhu Li calmly smoked, very composed.
Luo Yang's mind raced, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration came, and he knew what to do. Without another word, he grabbed the suit-wearing man's neck and with his right hand turned into a claw, he tightly clutched the man's throat.
"Clear the way outside! Let me out!" Luo Yang demanded coldly.
"You dare to touch me?!" the man in the suit roared angrily.
"I'll count to three, and if you don't do as I say, I'll crush your throat!" Luo Yang said, channeling strength into his right hand.
With True Qi within him, a full force squeeze would indeed crush the man's throat.
If a person's throat burst, they would die.
The man in the suit hadn't expected Luo Yang to be so strong and even more ferocious than if he had eaten the heart of a leopard, realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent. Intimidation was not going to work, so he caved.
"Big Brother, I'll tell them to leave," the man in the suit said, his face now red as pig liver.
Luo Yang only needed to squeeze a little tighter, and the man would struggle to breathe.
Right after that, the man in the suit began shouting loudly, telling the dozens of people outside the private room not to block the way and to let Luo Yang and his people leave.
The young men had no choice but to comply, retreating to the side of the corridor.
Luo Yang, holding the man in the suit with his left hand and having taken a small knife from one of Zhu Li's subordinates in his right, pressed the tip of the knife against the man's spine, leading him out of the private room, down the stairs, and quickly arriving at the entrance of the bar.
At that moment, several more cars raced over, doors opened, and a large group of young men poured out, surrounding Luo Yang and his companions.
From inside the bar, another large group of young men, including Zhang Xingkai and others, emerged. It wouldn't take long for the people Zhang Xingkai had called to arrive,
and soon, hundreds would be surrounding the handful of people – one could imagine the scene that would follow.
"Sister Kick, you take the others and leave first. I'll come to find you at the bar," Luo Yang said.
"No! How can I let you face danger alone? I'm your sworn sister, if anyone should stay, it's me!" Zhu Li refused.
Once she spoke her mind, she seldom took back her words. Luo Yang knew he couldn't persuade her.
Big Brother B, the bar owner, hadn't arrived yet, and the man in the suit was still the one calling the shots here. As long as he was being held hostage, they were temporarily safe.
But once Big Brother B arrived, that would be a different story.
Luo Yang struck the man in the suit's forehead hard with the hilt of the knife, and said coldly, "Tell them to back off! Don't block my way to the car!"
The man in the suit knew he had encountered someone ruthless and had to comply with Luo Yang's demands. Indeed, the young men still listened to the man in the suit and started to move back.
That's when Zhang Xingkai, who loved chaos, shouted, "Nobody needs to be afraid of him! We have more people and can easily beat him to death! He wouldn't dare stab Manager Huang. Don't back off!"
Those young men really stopped retreating, looking at each other, not knowing whether to rush forward or what to do.
Luo Yang had indeed never intended to kill the man in the suit, just to scare him. Zhang Xingkai saw through this, and wanting to seize the opportunity to take Luo Yang down, he certainly didn't want to watch his enemy walk away.
Seeing that he had to either stab Manager Huang or be swarmed and stabbed to death by the other thugs, Luo Yang was also very anxious. He was even more worried about Zhu Li getting hurt.
"Sister Kick, you go first!" Luo Yang insisted again.
"No! We leave together! If we die, we die together!" Zhu Li tossed her hair and, kicking off her high heels, was ready for battle.
