“Liu Da, you’re not bad hm? Your underling is getting bolder and bolder. At the March meeting, we agreed to make money together. And then your underling turned around and started a war. Is he trying to stir up the water in City Z?” Jiang Tong asked. On the other end of the phone, Liu Da was instantly dumbfounded. Not only did she know his private number, but she also knew about the meeting in March. This meant that…
“May I ask who are you?” Liu Da asked respectfully.
Jiang Tong did not answer. She only reminded him lightly, “Young Master Zhou asked me to give you a message. Control your men well. Next time, things won’t be solved with something as simple as a phone call.”
“Young Master Zhou? Then you…” Liu Da paused for a moment, then quickly nodded, “Okay, okay. Don’t worry. I promise there won’t be a next time.” He did not know what had happened, but he decided to admit his mistake first.
Jiang Tong didn’t feel that anything was wrong. After asking Liu Da to wait for a while, she directly handed the phone to Liu Lao’er. She said, “Take the phone.” She waved her hand, and the phone flew straight to Liu Lao’er through the air. Liu Lao’er hurriedly caught it and answered, “Big Brother? Yes, it’s me… We are in Guan Sandao’s bar. Yes… It’s nothing serious. It’s just… Yes, yes, yes. Big Brother, I was wrong…” the more Liu Lao’er spoke, the more scared he became. Cold sweat started to drip down his forehead.
Soon, their conversation on the phone ended. Liu Lao’er held the phone in his hands and respectfully raised it in front of Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong took it and placed it by her ear. Liu Da, who was on the other end of the phone, said, “The fault lies with us this time. I’ll leave Liu Lao’er to you. You can do whatever you want with him.”
“Okay,” Jiang Tong hung up the phone and raised her eyebrows at Liu Lao’er.
Liu Lao’er immediately knelt down with a thud. He begged, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Please forgive me!” As he spoke, he bent down and kowtowed.
The surrounding underlings were terrified when they saw this scene. They lowered their heads and didn’t dare to look at Jiang Tong anymore.
“What do you think?” Jiang Tong took a step to the side and revealed Ji Lanzhou behind her.
Not far away, the bodyguards seemed to have seen Ji Lanzhou’s figure. One by one, they shouted “Young Master” and started running over. Ji Lanzhou frowned impatiently. His gaze swept across the fruit knife that had fallen to the ground. He kicked it to Liu Lao’er and said, “Do it yourself.”
Liu Lao’er understood what he meant. His expression hardened. He gritted his teeth and picked up the knife. He spread out the five fingers of his left hand. With a clang, the knife chopped off his left pinky. His face was deathly pale from the pain, but he did not say a word.
“No wonder you are the man I like. You are so strong!” Jiang Tong gave Ji Lanzhou a thumbs up. She loved this man’s personality too much. He looked frail and weak, but he was ruthless deep down. She glanced at Liu Lao’er, who had his head down and was trembling from the pain. She smiled and waved her hand as she said, “Okay, we are done. You can leave now.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for showing mercy. If you need anything in the future, just let me know.” Liu Lao’er held his broken finger and bowed.
After Liu Lao’er and the others left, Ji Lanzhou was now completely visible in the bodyguards’ line of sight. Jiang Tong looked at the bodyguards who were rushing over and clicked her tongue. She asked, “Babe, I’ll give you another chance to decide. Do you want to go home with the bodyguards or with me?”
Ji Lanzhou lowered his head and looked at the drop of blood on the tip of his shoe. He asked lazily, “According to what you said, in all those repeated cycles that you have lived through, what was my choice in all of them?”
Jiang Tong muttered, “Let me think about it. It took me 10,000 days just to get to the point of flirting with you. Then, I slowly approached you… sometimes, I would be chased away by you with an icy expression on your face. Other times, I would be treated as a mentally ill patient and you would suggest to me to go to a mental hospital. I even fought with your bodyguards. Mmm, should I say this? Your bodyguards are quite skilled.”
Jiang Tong spread out her hands. “So you see, this is the first time I’ve had such close contact with you… but I have a feeling that you’ll choose to go with me this time.”
Ji Lanzhou smiled and replied, “Congratulations, you got it right.”
Jiang Tong’s eyes lit up. She excitedly waved at the bodyguards who were rushing over and shouted, “Hey, silly big guys, your young master is mine today!”
In her line of sight, the bodyguards stopped moving and suddenly accelerated towards her. “Ah!” Jiang Tong exclaimed and decisively pulled Ji Lanzhou along and ran out of the door.
Just as the two of them were running out of the bar, under the steps of the back door of the bar, more than ten motorcycles had just stopped and a Lamborghini followed them from behind. Not long after, the door opened and a strong man in his thirties came out. This man was the famous Guan Sandao from Z City.
Ten minutes ago, Guan Sandao had just finished his business at home and was having dinner with his men when he received a report from the people in the bar. They reported that Liu Lao’er had brought people to his bar to cause trouble. Thus, he quickly rushed over with his men.
