As one of the Martial Association's Eight King Kong, Tao Jinshui's status was incredibly prestigious. Naturally, his temperant was just as unruly and defiant.
How could he let a so-called starlet slight him and just let it go?
More importantly, he was not a patient man. Since he had taken a liking to Li Si, why would he waste ti slowly wheedling her?
Facing Tao Jinshui's aggressive demands, Li Si's expression shifted frantically. For a mont, she was at a complete loss. If she drank these three glasses of wine, she might not pass out, but the problem was what would happen after? Would they really let her go?
Their goal is definitely to get drunk.
"What, are you going to make pour it down your throat myself?" Tao Jinshui said coldly, seeing that Li Si still hadn't moved.
To put it bluntly, she was just a singer. If it weren't for her outstanding beauty, he wouldn't have given her a second glance. In the eyes of a King Kong of the Martial Association, what was even the most popular star?
"Mr. Tao, please calm down," Zou Wendong, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He sidled closer to Li Si and said softly, "Sisi, Mr. Tao might have a temper, but his status is imnse. You really were disrespectful just now."
"How about this? We each take a step back. Of these three glasses, I'll drink one for you, you drink one yourself, and you can drink the last one after you've had a mont to recover."
Finally, Zou Wendong turned to Tao Jinshui. "Mr. Tao, what do you think?"
"Hmph!"
Tao Jinshui snorted. "I'll give you face today."
"Thank you, Mr. Tao."
Without waiting for Li Si's reply, Zou Wendong raised his glass and downed it in one go.
"Your turn," he said with a warm smile, his tone exceedingly gentle and gentlemanly.
He hadn't expected things to go this way, but since Tao Jinshui had played the 'bad cop,' he was happy to step into the 'good cop' role. This way, he might even win Li Si's heart and take the beauty ho that much sooner.
Li Si had no choice. She picked up her glass, gave Tao Jinshui a slight nod, and then finished the wine in several gulps.
"Sir Tao, I'm very sorry for spoiling your fun." Li Si poured herself another glass and continued, "I'm not feeling well today, so after this drink, I'll be leaving. Next ti, it'll be my treat, Sir Tao."
"It's fine. I'm not angry anymore," Tao Jinshui said, waving his hand dismissively.
Li Si downed the glass in one go.
She set the glass down and was about to leave, but Tao Jinshui just smiled. "I said I'm not angry. I didn't say you could leave."
Li Si was speechless.
"Sit down obediently. Finish this al, then you're coming with us," Tao Jinshui stated indifferently.
"Mr. Tao, you're going too far."
Zou Wendong feigned an angry rebuke, then used the opportunity to reach for Li Si's hand. "It's alright," he said comfortingly, "I'm here for you."
But Li Si sidestepped his grasp and said in a low, firm voice, "What exactly do you want? If you keep this up, I'm calling the police!"
Far from backing down, Tao Jinshui pulled out his phone and tossed it onto the table with a BANG. He leaned back in his chair and said languidly, "Go on, report . You'd better do it right now. I'd love to see which blind fool dares to ddle in my affairs."
"You..." Li Si was seething. In all her years, she had never t soone so blatantly unreasonable.
Without another mont's delay, she took out her own phone, ready to make the call. She refused to believe anyone in this world could be so utterly lawless.
Zou Wendong quickly stopped her. "Sisi, it's useless! He's a King Kong of the Martial Association. His status is beyond anything you can imagine. Even if you make the call, no one will co! You'll only be the one to suffer in the end!"
"Listen to , just sit down for now. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."
Zou Wendong tried his best to sound sincere, but inwardly he was sneering.
Li Si, oh Li Si, you brought this on yourself. You're just a singer, so why pretend to be so pure? You chose this life; did you really think you could remain untouched? You were offered a chance to save face and you spat on it. Now you won't escape even if you sprout wings!
Li Si shot him a cold glare. "Get away from !"
Zou Wendong's expression twisted. This bitch!
"Forget it. We're not eating. Just take her away," Tao Jinshui said, his patience completely gone. He stood up, walked over to Li Si, and reached out to grab her.
"Sisi!"
With a shout, the door to the private room swung open, and Sun Yuli strode in.
Seeing that Li Si was unhard, Sun Yuli breathed a huge sigh of relief. Ignoring the tense situation, he grabbed her hand and tried to pull her away.
"Leave?" Tao Jinshui scoffed. "None of you are leaving today!"
Things had already co to this. Not even the Heavenly King himself could stop him from taking Li Si.
However, another figure appeared in the doorway.
He leaned casually against the fra, took a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it at a leisurely pace. He took a deep drag without so much as a glance at Tao Jinshui.
"It's you!"
Just as Tao Jinshui's brow furrowed, Zou Wendong cried out, "Mr. Tao, that guy killed one of my n yesterday! Please, Mr. Tao, kill him for !"
The newcor was, of course, Chen Yang.
Hearing this, Chen Yang finally turned his head slightly to look at Zou Wendong. "So that thug from last night was one of your n?"
"That's right!" Since the pretense with Li Si was over, Zou Wendong dropped all masks. "Dare to kill one of my n? I have to say, you've got so nerve!" he said coldly.
Chen Yang's right hand flicked lightly.
BOOM!!
In an instant, a hurricane seed to rip through the small private room. Dishes and bowls went flying, and even the massive round table was sent crashing into a corner.
As for Zou Wendong, he was lifted clean off his feet and slamd into the wall behind him.
THUD!
Chen Yang gestured casually. "Let's go."
Sun Yuli and Li Si were both stunned into silence.
Does he have to be so violent?!
The sudden attack startled Tao Jinshui. His deep-set eyes locked onto Chen Yang, a cold, sharp light glinting within them. He could certainly feel the man's formidable power, but…
A smirk crept across Tao Jinshui's lips. "You think you can just hurt soone and walk away? The world doesn't work like that."
Zou Wendong coughed, then roared through clenched teeth, "Mr. Tao, get him! You have to avenge !"
"Mr. Tao is one of the Martial Association's Eight King Kong! You're dead today!"
He would have been better off not saying that. Hearing his words, Chen Yang, who had been about to leave, slowly turned around.
Chen Yang smiled. "So, you're with the Martial Association."
"That's right!" Tao Jinshui declared, his hands clasped behind his back in a show of arrogance. "Now that you know, are you not going to kneel?"
"The Eight King Kong… there should only be seven of you left now, shouldn't there? Let guess, the missing one died in Tianque City, perhaps?" Chen Yang said, a flicker of interest in his eyes.
At these words, Tao Jinshui's expression changed dramatically.
How... How does he know?
"And another thing. The man who ca to Lingjin City with you, was his na Yu Hai?"
Tao Jinshui's voice was heavy. "How do you know that?"
"I dealt with him this morning. Oh, and the King Kong from Tianque City? I had soone take care of him, too," Chen Yang said nonchalantly as he walked back into the room.
"You... you're…"
"That's right. It's ."
Tao Jinshui was speechless.
