“Do you guys know whose territory this is? And you dare to……”
Before brother Cong could finish flaunting his superiority, he was thrown backhand to the ground by the straight-faced Yuan Meng.
“Ah! Don’t don’t don’t! Hands, my hands are going to be broken.”
Brother Cong was in so much pain and couldn’t help begging for mercy. He clearly had a fierce face, but at this moment he was no better than a little quail.
The front door of the car opened, and Qin Jian, who had zero combat power, finally jumped out.
He looked around, and taking pictures of these wretched faced rascals with his mobile phone for evidence, then approached Yuan Meng, “Mengmeng, you can beat ten people with this punch, your skill won’t regress…”
Qin Jian caught a glimpse of the scratch on Yuan Meng’s wrist through his peripheral vision. Halfway through the teasing, his voice changed to nervousness, “You’re hurt? Are you ok?”
“A little scratch, it’s okay.” Yuan Meng walked back to the car solemnly and asked, “Patriarch, second young master Shi, how should we deal with these people?”
Luo Lingsheng glanced at the gangsters on the ground, and then moved his inquiring gaze back to Shi Yunnan, “Tell me the truth, how did you get into trouble with them?”
“Bad luck, I was targeted by the owner of this nightclub, and the other party wanted them to kidnap me by force.”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes overflowed with disgust, and the encounter in his dream resurfaced again, “This nightclub should have practiced some unspoken rules, kidnapping people and then drugging them to film s*xtape as a threat…”
Yuan Meng and Qin Jian heard of these dirty methods, and unanimously showed contempt——
With such an experience, the mind and body of the person being played with was pretty much ruined.
Luo Lingsheng’s fingertips hidden in the dark rubbed hard for a moment, the depths of the dark pupils revealed some hostility, but he restrained himself and returned to calmness, “Qin Jian, call the police.”
“Yes.” Qin Jian responded quickly.
These gangsters should squat in prison, lest they do more detrimental things.
The speed of the police in this area was fairly fast. Fifteen minutes later, Qin Jian left with police to deal with the aftermath, and the other three went home first by car.
Yuan Meng was driving in the front row, separated by a foldable car partition, the space in the back seat seemed particularly quiet.
Shi Yunnan was not accustomed to such an atmosphere. He couldn’t help but secretly cast a glance at Luo Lingsheng who was beside him——
The street lights on both sides of the road flashed by with a sense of rhythm, and the mottled shadows of the lights flickered on the side of the man’s face. This cold and mysterious side profile made people want to get closer.
The strong alcohol he had consumed finally evoked a blurry drunkenness inside him. Shi Yunnan licked his dry lips and said to him, “…Luo Lingsheng, why did you suddenly come back? And still managed to find me here?”
“……”
Luo Lingsheng looked at him sideways without speaking.
Shi Yunnan met those dark eyes, and finally sensed the low air pressure lingering around him, and his heart shrank inexplicably.
“I didn’t expect you to come back tonight. I came to the nightclub just to celebrate with the friend who has returned home, besides…” He paused, “Besides, we are only fake marriage partners. I don’t have to report where I’m going on weekdays, right?”
Luo Lingsheng let out a short breath, and asked rhetorically, “Yes, we are fake married, and it has not been made public yet, but what about later?”
“Sooner or later, other wealthy families will know about your marriage relationship with me, are you still going to be so reckless? Let them watch second young master Shi drinking in a nightclub? Or even being harassed by a group of gangsters like just now?”
“You can spend the Qixi Festival with others, and you can also run out to play on Valentine’s Day in the future. Even if we are fake married, people will only think that you, Shi Yunnan, and I each live our own lives.”
Luo Lingsheng changed the calmness that they used to get on previously. The coldness in his tone could simply frostbite people’s bones.
“Then what is the purpose of our contract marriage?”
“……”
Shi Yunnan got stuck and couldn’t pick a word to refute.
“I know that second young master Shi has been used to playing abroad over the years, but you still think it doesn’t matter after ‘being married’…”
Luo Lingsheng moved his eyes away and dropped a sentence in a light voice, “I can’t help you.”
He took off his glasses and closed his eyes, as if he didn’t want to talk with Shi Yunnan anymore.
The atmosphere in the car solidified.
The rising drunkenness submerged the reason of the brain, and Shi Yunnan had an impulse for no apparent reason——
He quickly unbuckled his seat belt and got up to squeeze in between the front of Luo Lingsheng’s seat and the car partition. He put his hands on both sides of the seat and looked face to face at the man sitting still.
In just three seconds, Shi Yunnan locked Luo Lingsheng within his controllable range.
“What are you doing?” Luo Lingsheng’s eyebrows knitted slightly, “Sit down and fasten your seat belt, don’t fool around.”
“I won’t until we get this straight first.”
Shi Yunnan decisively rejected it, and his eyes soaked in wine looked very bullied.
He let out a sigh, and suddenly took a serious look, “Luo Lingsheng, today’s matter was my fault.”
“Blame me for my momentary failure to shift my ‘married’ status, and forgetting that going to a nightclub is the kind of occasion that would bring your reputation into play if something were to happen.”
He used the most provocative posture as he said a very soft apology.
Such a contrast was like a usually arrogant and domineering little fox suddenly wagging its tail and revealing its belly to show its softness.
Luo Lingsheng stared at the person close at hand, his cold aura unconsciously eased, “Second young master Shi is apologizing to me?”
“En, I promise this is the last time, I’ll never go to that kind of hellhole again…”
Shi Yunnan was keenly aware of the change in Luo Lingsheng’s attitude.
As he talked, the corners of his mouth were stained with an improper smile, and he deliberately moved closer, “I really know that I was wrong. Don’t be angry, okay, okay? Husband~”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes were imprinted with the watery glow of drunkenness, and his smile was bright and cunning, a look that reminded people of a saying——
Get cheap and sell well1.
knowing that this ‘husband’ was just a deliberate joke, it still led people’s thoughts astray.
“Bars and nightclubs are places where good and bad mixed together. so don’t go there if you can.” Luo Lingsheng didn’t completely forbid him from going, he added, “If you are really bored and want to go, let me know in advance.”
Shi Yunnan nodded in cooperation, “Okay.”
“Go back and sit down, lest…” Before Luo Lingsheng could finish his words, the car suddenly braked.
Shi Yunnan, who was standing unprepared, first followed the inertia and crashed into the car partition. His center of gravity was unstable and he fell directly into Luo Lingsheng’s arms.
“……Uh.”
The drunk Shi Yunnan was knocked dizzy, and his hands hooked the man’s arms subconsciously.
“Yuan Meng, what’s the matter?”
Luo Lingsheng’s hand firmly encircled Shi Yunnan’s waist to prevent him from falling down again.
“Patriarch, are you all right?” Yuan Meng restarted the car again and explained, “A feral cat suddenly leapt out on the road just now, so I slammed the brake.”
Luo Lingsheng looked down at the person in his arms, “Did you get hurt anywhere? Can you get up?”
“No, I’m just a little dizzy after drinking.” Shi Yunnan grunted.
The warm breath of his nose swept the side of his neck, tantalizing his heart again and again. Luo Lingsheng’s hand that clamped Shi Yunnan’s waist unconsciously increased its strength, and in the next second he heard a sentence in his ear–
Luo Lingsheng’s voice was lowered, “Sit back in your seat if you’re okay and fasten your seat belt.”
“Hmm.” Shi Yunnan fell into drunkenness and dizziness again, and it was difficult to withdraw for a while. He only felt that this embrace was more reassuring than a seat belt.
He shrank into Luo Lingsheng’s arms and didn’t move for the time being, “Wait for me to recover a bit.”
Luo Lingsheng responded with silence.
The time in the car was stretched to an extreme delay.
A few seconds later, a steady and rhythmic breathing sounded in his ears. Shi Yunnan tried to recover from the drunkenness, yet he was actually brought into a hazy dreamland by the alcohol.
Realizing this, Luo Lingsheng was a little bit dumbfounded, his rigid back finally relaxed slightly. He looked down at Shi Yunan’s sleeping face, and the curve of his mouth went up little by little.
The long distance that he usually felt everyday was reduced to zero in the blink of an eye. Not long after, the car stopped in front of the manor house.
Yuan Meng got out of the car from the front row and opened the car door as usual, only to be stunned as soon as he came across such a picture, “P-patriarch?”
Luo Lingsheng motioned Yuan Meng to keep quiet with his eyes. His hand resting on his waist moved up and patted Shi Yunnan’s neck twice, “Wake up, we’re home.”
“Oh……”
Shi Yunnan opened his eyes in a trance, he looked around for a moment and was confused, “Why am I in your arms?”
“What do you think?” Luo Lingsheng asked rhetorically, and said solemnly, “There was a drunk person who sleeps quite soundly using me as a human pillow.”
“……”
Shi Yunnan recalled the situation in the car just now, and his face was inexplicably hot.
He quickly got up from Luo Lingsheng’s arms, barely maintained the remaining sanity and got out of the car, “I’ll go back to my room and rest. We’ll talk tomorrow?”
Luo Lingsheng nodded in acquiescence.
Seeing Shi Yunnan wobbling back into the house, Luo Lingsheng then rubbed his legs twice.
“Patriarch, are your legs okay?”
This time, he specially flew abroad to find a top-notch team for rehabilitation. Finally, there was a sign of recovery and hope. It was originally a half-month treatment plan, but the patriarch insisted on rushing back today…
“I’m fine.”
This was also a good thing.
Luo Lingsheng thought to himself, and said, “Help me down.”
“Okay.”
Luo Lingsheng sat firmly in the electric wheelchair, and explained in a deep voice, “Yuan Meng, you call Qin Jian and ask about the situation on his side. Tell him to meet me when he comes back.”
“Yes.”
Luo Lingsheng glanced at the scratch on his hand, “There is a medicine box at home, take care of it yourself, be careful of inflammation.”
“Yes, thank you Patriarch.”
…
Luo Lingsheng took the elevator back to the second floor alone, but as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Shi Yunnan standing outside.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
“Waiting for you.” Shi Yunnan’s tone was light and fluttering, there was no telling how drunk he was.
Luo Lingsheng saw him walking up quickly, and directly stuffed the thing in his hand into his mouth.
“How is it?”
Luo Lingsheng was startled, the tip of his tongue was filled with an unprecedented sweetness.
Shi Yunnan caught his rare daze and let out a low laugh, “I specially save one for you, is it sweet?”
This was the fruit candy he promised to bring the little goldfish, but the kid had already fallen asleep.
A minute ago, the candy in Shi Yunnan’s pocket was placed on the bedside table of the little goldfish’s bedroom, but he left one for Luo Lingsheng on a whim.
Luo Ling Sheng held the candy in his mouth and didn’t say anything.
“This flavor of this fruit candy is my favorite, do you like it?”
Shi Yunnan sighed and stuffed the torn wrapper into his hand as well, his sleepy voice low and soft, “It’s okay to spit it out if you don’t like it.”
“Good night, Mr. Luo.”
“Good night.”
When Qin Jian returned to Luo’s house, Luo Lingsheng was still sitting in the living room on the first floor.
“You’re back?”
“Yes, Patriarch.” Qin Jian stood still and started reporting the work, “Those eight hooligans were temporarily detained, but they can only be considered as attempted crimes against second young master Shi. I have sent people to collect their previous criminal activities, and will make sure to send them to prison.”
Luo Ling replied with a sound, and asked coldly, “Who is their boss?”
“Feng Chen, people in the circle call him brother Feng.”
As Luo Lingsheng’s personal assistant, Qin Jian understood the other party’s true nature better than anyone——
His methods were bold and ruthless, not giving the enemy a chance to survive. Those people dare to target second young master Shi tonight, and now that the Patriarch knew, he would get to the bottom of this matter.
Therefore, even if Luo Lingsheng did not order an investigation in advance, Qin Jian inquired about some gossip as quickly as possible.
“Patriarch, this FYUE Club has always had secret s*x transactions. The buyers behind the scenes who pay the money are either rich or influential people. As an intermediary, the nightclub will first find a suitable target or send someone to lure the target specified by the buyers to the nightclub for consumption and drinking…”
The alcohol was mixed with drugs, and it was difficult for ordinary people to notice it at first glance.
By the time they were caught in the trap, they would take it for granted, thinking it was drunkenness, and when they were sober again, everything was already too late.
“Nightclubs are a place of good and bad mixed around, and people are prone to getting drunk. This type of transaction will be handled cleanly afterwards. Because the victims are being threatened, they dare not to stand up for their rights…”
Over time, more and more powerful people liked to come to FYUE Club, which was why this nightclub stood undefeated at the top.
If they hadn’t arrived in time tonight, what kind of treatment would Shi Yunnan have suffered?
When Luo Ling Sheng thought of this, his eyes suddenly became dark, “Qin Jian, you know what to do.”
“I understand, Patriarch.”
The two communicated a few more words about this nightclub, and then they closed the topic.
“Patriarch, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave first?”
“Wait.” Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses and took out a smooth candy wrapper from his pocket, “Buy some candy with the flavor on the wrapper.”
Qin Jian was a little surprised, “Buy candy?”
——Is it sweet? This flavor of fruit candy is my favorite.
——Of course, it’s sweet.
Luo Lingsheng seemed to be able to feel the residual temperature between his lips and the touch of the other party’s fingertips.
