The commotion on their side was quickly discovered. The bar instantly turned into a mess. A customer shouted in horror, “Someone’s been murdered!”
With that, a group of people ran out in a huff.
In a booth not far away, a couple of men stood up in unison. The man with a stocky build was the boss of this group of hooligans. Previously, Jiang Tong and Ji Lanzhou’s location was too hidden for anyone to notice. Later, when Jiang Tong pulled Ji Lanzhou towards the back door, the man with the strong build saw Ji Lanzhou’s face unintentionally and was instantly shocked. He then ordered his hooligan underlings to bring him over.
“D*mn it!” The man with a strong and stocky build brought his men over aggressively. He saw that one of his underlings was blinded by her stab and the other had his neck cut and blood was flowing profusely. He was so angry that he cursed while ordering the others, “Quick, send two men to the hospital with them.” The one whose eye was stabbed, his right eye might not be able to be saved. As for the one who got his neck cut, they did not know how deep the wound was. If he could not be saved, it would be a big problem.
The few who followed the muscular man were all skilled. When they saw that their brothers had been beaten up, they were going to attack her with a cold expression. However, they were stopped by the muscular man.
Jiang Tong was very calm from the beginning to the end. When she saw the muscular man coming over, she raised her hand and threw the blood-stained wine bottle on the ground. Then, she turned around and asked Ji Lanzhou with a smile, “Do you have any tissue? My hands are stained with blood. I want to wipe it.” She raised her hands to show him, and she had a harmless smile on her face. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that she could destroy two people in one move?
Ji Lanzhou’s interest in her grew stronger as he looked at her. It had to be said that this woman in front of him had a willful way of doing things, which was very much to his liking.
“I don’t have a tissue. I have a handkerchief.” Ji Lanzhou took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong looked at her bloody hand and then at the white handkerchief. She smacked her lips and rubbed her hands on her clothes. Then she took the handkerchief and put it into her arms. “Okay, I’ll treat it as a love token.”
Ji Lanzhou raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Tong chuckled and turned around to look at the strong man. She said, “Liu Lao’er, you’ve grown more capable, haven’t you? How dare you cause trouble in Guan Sandao’s bar? Is that what your big brother taught you?”
Liu Lao’er was already scared by Jiang Tong’s calm look. When he heard her words, he muttered, “You know me and my big brother? and Guan Sandao?”
Jiang Tong knew all the big shots in City Z and knew all their secrets. She had also come into contact with some of the other influential people who had some status in the city as well. There were tens of millions of people in City Z. It was impossible for her to know all of them. However, as long as they were slightly special, she knew them all.
However, because of the constant rewinding of time, every day was a new beginning. Therefore, Jiang Tong did not have many connections. Like what she was saying to Ji Lanzhou earlier, she knew these people, but these people didn’t know her. But it didn’t matter. She had a lot of information about these people in her hands, so it would be easy for her to get to know them.
“This is Guan Sandao’s territory. Aren’t you afraid of getting your hands chopped off if you people with the surname Liu cause trouble here?” Jiang Tong said with a smile.
Liu Lao’er expression changed. He guessed that Jiang Tong was very likely a new skillful person that Guan Sandao had hired. The Liu family and Guan Sandao had always been at loggerheads. Originally, Liu Lao’er would not have brought people to Guan Sandao’s bar. Even if he did, he would not cause any trouble. However, he heard that Guan Sandao had something to do at home today and all of his underlings followed him, so there was no one in the bar. Therefore, that was when Liu Lao’er decided to bring his people over to play for a while.
Could it be that Guan Sandao did not bring everyone away? He still left someone powerful here to watch over the place?
Liu Lao’er didn’t want to go against Jiang Tong, but his underlings had been beaten up. It wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t demand some sort of compensation. So he could only bite the bullet and threaten, “Don’t think that you can be so lawless just because you’re Guan Sandao’s men. It’s against the rules of the underworld for you to be so ruthless. My brothers are being sent to the hospital now. If they cannot be rescued, then Guan Sandao won’t be able to protect you!”
“Heh,” Jiang Tong laughed disdainfully. She took out her phone and quickly entered a phone number before dialing it.
The bodyguards who were looking for Ji Lanzhou on the other side heard the commotion and squeezed past the crowd to rush over. Ji Lanzhou raised his eyes but he did not care. He continued to look at Jiang Tong, who was shorter than him by a head. He was very curious how she would resolve the situation in front of them right now.
Jiang Tong’s call was quickly connected.
“Hello? Who are you? How do you know this number?” A hoarse and vigilant male voice came from the phone. This was his private number. Only important people could contact him through this number.
