"Try it. The taste here is excellent. This is authentic homade food."
Xu Yan used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of at and place it in Li Na’s bowl.
Li Na picked up the slice of at, slowly chewed it, and said, "This is the best stew I’ve had in Song Mountain. It’s genuine."
"Nonsense, where have I taken you that could be worse?" Xu Yan glared at her, his eyes filled with annoyance.
"Ding ding..."
Just as Li Na was about to speak, her phone on the table rang, vibrating alongside it.
Xu Yan glanced at the caller ID, showing it was her brother’s call.
"Hello, how..."
"Sister! Save , save ! If you don’t co, I’m dead!"
Before Li Na could finish, a tense and anxious male voice blared from the phone.
"What’s wrong, Jiawei? Calm down and tell clearly!"
Li Na’s face changed at his words, her voice becoming urgent.
"You’re his sister! Your brother, Li Jiawei, owes 200,000 RMB. If you don’t pay, I’ll have to reach out to him."
This ti, it wasn’t Li Jiawei’s voice, but another, sounding slightly lancholic yet penetrating.
"Who are you? Don’t hurt him! Isn’t it just money? I’m coming right now. Where are you? Don’t hurt him."
Li Na said anxiously.
"Oh, you’re a smart one. Don’t do anything foolish. Bring the money to West Leopard KTV. Rember, I want cash. Beep.. Beep.."
With that, the call was disconnected.
"Sorry, I have to leave. I have sothing to do." After hanging up, Li Na said this to Xu Yan and hurriedly left.
Li Jiawei was the only male "gender" descendant in the family. He couldn’t have an accident, and 200,000 RMB was nothing to her.
"I’ll go with you. I don’t feel comfortable letting you go alone."
Xu Yan’s sixth sense was keen. Naturally, he had overheard the phone call. He stood up and spoke reluctantly.
He shouldn’t have cared about this, but Li Na had helped him a lot, he couldn’t let her go without help.
"Ah?! Okay, thank you. Let’s go get the money now."
Li Na, hearing this, felt grateful but was clearly "flustered," with panic evident on her face.
They went to the bank for the money and then drove to the West Leopard KTV.
West City was the old district of Song Mountain, a relatively "chaotic" area. The most common places here were nightclubs, bars, KTVs, and various sized clubs.
Black Panther KTV was located on southwest street in the city. There was a famous bar on that street, making it easy for them to find the place.
"Let’s go."
After standing at the entrance for a while, Xu Yan took the money and led Li Na inside.
Because the KTV was quiet during the day, Xu Yan and Li Na were quickly noticed.
"You must be Mr. Li!"
A woman in a low-cut mini skirt with heavy makeup walked over and looked at Li Na, asking.
"Yes, I am. Where’s my brother? Where is he?" Li Na asked excitedly, not displaying the usual strong deanor.
"Sorry, I don’t know, but Brother Leopard told to wait here for you. When you arrive, I’ll take you to see him."
The woman made an apologetic expression to Li Na and then led them.
"Why..."
Li Na almost asked unconsciously.
Yes, why did Li Jiawei suddenly owe so much money?
200,000 RMB wasn’t much for her, but it was quite a lot for a student like Li Jiawei.
"Oh, he lost it playing poker."
Brother Leopard said with a chuckle.
"Nonsense! You clearly set him up with a thousand-dollar ga; otherwise, how could he lose every single ti?"
Li Jiawei, hearing this, stood up and roared at Brother Leopard.
"Pat!"
"Shut up!"
Before Li Jiawei’s voice could lower, Li Na slapped him across the face, coldly saying.
"Sister... Sorry, I didn’t dare."
Li Jiawei clutched his face and whispered timidly.
"I don’t care how he lost to you. Now that I’ve brought the money, we’re leaving!"
Li Na looked at Brother Leopard coldly, her eyes filled with disgust.
She knew Brother Leopard must have set a trap for Li Jiawei, but in this person’s territory, what else could she do?
More importantly, this should serve as a lesson for him to focus on studies rather than gambling.
"Well, that’s true, but after eting Ms. Li, I’ve decided to change the terms."
Brother Leopard leisurely spoke, his eyes provocatively scanning Li Na’s curvy figure.
"What do you an?"
Li Na frowned.
"Oh, I an, I don’t want the money. I want you to spend a night with ."
Brother Leopard pointed at Li Na, explaining his intention.
"In your dreams! Let’s go now."
Li Na imdiately shouted angrily and turned to leave with Li Jiawei.
"Hmm?"
Brother Leopard’s three henchn quickly stood up, grinning at Li Na.
"You think you can leave just like that? I call the shots here."
Brother Leopard raised an arrogant smile, looking at Li Na casually.
"Is that so? I don’t think you call the shots, I do."
At this mont, Xu Yan, who had remained silent, suddenly broke his silence, speaking lightly at Brother Leopard.
"Xu Yan..."
Li Na called out anxiously. After all, Brother Leopard didn’t seem like a righteous person, and she feared for Xu Yan’s safety.
"You? Oh, what kind of person are you? Do you think you have a say here?"
Brother Leopard looked sideways at Xu Yan, sneering contemptuously.
"Haha, do you know what this is?"
Xu Yan burst into laughter, placing a box on the ground and then stepping forward to pick up an ashtray, looking at Brother Leopard and asking again.
"An ashtray, so what?"
Brother Leopard was sowhat puzzled and almost asked subconsciously.
"Bang!"
"Damn it! Do you know who dares to talk to workers and managers like this?!"
Before Brother Leopard could finish, Xu Yan almost simultaneously grabbed the ashtray and smashed it onto Brother Leopard’s face.
In an instant, there was blood.
"Ah!"
Brother Leopard imdiately let out a shrill cry, clutching his face with both hands, but blood seeped through his fingers.
Li Na and Li Jiawei were both shocked by Xu Yan’s sudden outburst, looking at Brother Leopard’s sorry state, secretly swallowing back their astonishnt.
"You... what are you standing there for? Kill him for ! Kill him!"
Brother Leopard, with one hand clutching his face, staggered disheveledly as he shouted out to his n.
"How dare you hit Brother Leopard? You must have a death wish! Get him!"
The three henchn angrily roared and grabbed bottles from the table, moving towards Xu Yan.
"Get lost."
Xu Yan dodged the bottles effortlessly, easily avoiding the attacks, and threw punches back.
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
In just a mont, all three henchn were on the floor, howling in pain, covered in bruises.
"Sister... where did you find that fierce guy?" Li Jiawei looked at Xu Yan and asked.
Li Na didn’t respond, still in shock. She couldn’t help but admit that Xu Yan’s fighting skills were indeed impressive.
"Trash! All of you are trash! Call for backup, now! Even if he can fight, how many can he take on, dozens or hundreds?"
Brother Leopard was initially startled, but his fear didn’t conquer his hatred for Xu Yan, hysterically roaring out orders.
Brother Leopard’s henchman stumbled out to call for reinforcents.
"I’m giving you a chance. Let’s leave now and end this here, or you’ll regret it."
Xu Yan looked at Brother Leopard on the sofa, speaking slowly.
"Haha, you’re scared? Too late! I’m telling you, even your Heavenly King can’t save you now. Since you dared to hit , my n will kill you, and then your entire family. Hahaha..."
