Chapter 105: What a Striking Similarity!

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: What a Striking Similarity!

Not far away, a man with a buzz cut and sunglasses appeared.

"Brother Qiang... I... I wasn’t causing trouble!"

Seeing Liu Qiang, one of the bar’s shareholders, appear, Xiong San’s arrogant aura immediately faltered, and he quickly defended himself.

"It’s him! That asshole tried to force himself on my buddy’s girlfriend! We caught him red-handed, and he even broke the door down!"

"What?"

Liu Qiang shook his wrist, showing off a large gold watch, a malicious sneer playing on his lips. "Damn it! Someone dared to pull that kind of shit on my turf?"

His gaze fell on the figure standing ahead of them, and he barked, "Where the fuck are you from? Don’t you know the rules here at Helens?"

"Sigh."

Su Yunzhou sighed. It seemed things weren’t going to end peacefully tonight. Furthermore, he wondered if these guys had any other vocabulary besides dropping f-bombs in every sentence.

He turned around and looked at the poseur wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night. For some reason, the man looked a bit familiar. Before he could speak...

The other party’s expression suddenly changed. He paused for a moment before pointing at Xiong San and cursing.

"Don’t you fucking talk nonsense! We live in a society governed by law, and everything requires evidence! When did this gentleman ever do... that kind of thing?

"And the bathroom door was probably just in disrepair from years of use. It’s our bar’s fault for not maintaining it properly. Don’t you go making up stories!"

As soon as Liu Qiang’s words fell, the surrounding onlookers were collectively dumbfounded. A few people who knew him scratched their heads in sheer disbelief.

"Is this still the domineering Liu Qiang we know?"

"Since when did this boss become so easygoing?"

"Wait! This handsome guy looks like he’s from the table that ordered the Armand de Brignac set earlier."

Xiong San was stunned at first. When he finally reacted, his mouth twitched. "B-Brother Qiang... you... I... we aren’t talking nonsense... That’s really what happened..."

Liu Qiang snapped, "Bullshit!" He turned back to the crowd watching the drama. "Everyone, disperse! This is just a misunderstanding. Go back to your drinking and having fun."

Seeing how Liu Qiang handled the situation, Xiong San’s temper flared up, and he spewed furiously, "Is there something fucking wrong with your head? This asshole tried to make a move on my bro’s woman, and as the bar owner, you’re actually taking his side?"

Liu Qiang wasn’t stupid to have made it this far in life. The state of that woman and Mr. Su explained everything. But this fucking idiot—of all the people to provoke, why did he have to provoke Mr. Su? Even Liu Qiang himself didn’t dare to offend the man, yet this fool was basically volunteering to get himself killed. If it weren’t for the sake of the past dealings he had with Xiong San’s older brother, Liu Qiang would have just grabbed some popcorn, watched the show, and prepared to attend this idiot’s funeral.

Putting on his demeanor as the big boss, Liu Qiang said to Xiong San, "If you want to drink, I’ll send another two dozen bottles to your table later. If not, get the hell out of my sight."

Xiong San was furious. "I’m not leaving! What are you gonna do about it?"

Hearing this, Liu Qiang’s temper also flared up. He said coldly, "Throw them out."

At his words, the surrounding security guards swarmed over, glaring like tigers eyeing their prey. This scene made the onlookers inexplicably excited.

"Holy shit! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Brother Qiang blow his top."

"Isn’t that obvious? This guy and his friends ordered the Armand de Brignac set earlier."

"A bar owner only meets a few big spenders like that in a whole year!"

"Oh! So that’s how it is. He definitely has to keep them happy then!"

Standing on the sidelines, Su Yunzhou frowned in thought, wondering what on earth was going on.

Seeing the other party’s uncompromising attitude, Xiong San clenched his fists in anger until his knuckles turned white, but he didn’t dare to make a move.

The lackey who had been offering schemes earlier also realized something was wrong. Brother Qiang was never like this on normal days. Their boss had a good relationship with him, and whenever incidents happened at his venue in the past, he would always help smooth things over. He wondered what on earth was happening today and where things had gone wrong.

Then, he turned his gaze to Su Yunzhou standing nearby and suddenly had a realization: Could this person know Brother Qiang? This guy was really a tough nut to crack! Crap! This was bad!

No longer caring about saving face, he immediately whispered a few words into Xiong San’s ear.

Xiong San still couldn’t swallow his anger. A moment later, his phone rang. After answering the call, his attitude noticeably changed. His large face turned green and pale by turns, and he was finally dragged out by a few of his underlings.

After they left, the crowd, who originally thought they could enjoy a good show, showed slightly disappointed expressions. People were just like that—as long as it didn’t concern them, who wouldn’t love watching this kind of jealous drama in a bar? But today’s incident hadn’t followed the expected script at all, leaving everyone somewhat baffled.

At this time, Liu Qiang walked over to the other party involved with a fawning expression.

"Mr. Su, I’m so sorry for bringing you such a bad experience."

Su Yunzhou looked at the man who had taken off his sunglasses to reveal a genuinely ugly, smiling face, and finally remembered who this guy was. Wasn’t this the gangster who had spent a fortune at the Pharmaceutical Factory to have him sing another song? He immediately marveled at the serendipity of fate. The scene back then and the scene right now shared a wonderful similarity!

"It’s fine!" Su Yunzhou waved his hand. "It doesn’t affect my mood to drink."

Liu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this wealthy young heir wasn’t angry. He then added, "Mr. Su is truly magnanimous, not lowering yourself to the level of those jumping clowns. Let’s go! Let’s go out and have a drink!"

"Alright!"

Liu Qiang escorted Su Yunzhou outside. The crowd of onlookers also dispersed, though they were brimming with curiosity about the young man’s mysterious silhouette.

The two returned to the booth.

Lin Shouqing, half-drunk and dizzy, slurred, "Old Iron, you’ve been in the bathroom for so long? Could it be? Hehehe?"

Su Yunzhou looked at Old Iron, whose head was seemingly clouded by either alcohol or something else, and silently shook his head.

Meanwhile, Coco, who was beside them, looked surprised as President Liu suddenly appeared. So they knew each other! She panicked, recalling that she had given a discount on the 88,000 yuan Armand de Brignac set earlier. However, she reasoned that she was ultimately making money for the boss anyway, so it probably wouldn’t be an issue.

Liu Qiang appeared very experienced and tactful. He smiled and greeted everyone before asking Coco to bring over his treasured Remy Martin XO, saying he wanted to have a couple of drinks with President Su and President Lin.

Coco’s pupils shook at his words. That was one of the few bottles of genuine, premium liquor in the store! For President Liu to be so generous today—just who exactly was this Mr. Su? While pondering this, she enthusiastically trotted off to fetch the alcohol, swaying her firm, perky behind.

After returning, she became somewhat fearful and trepidatious, having just found out what had transpired during that short period of time. Her earlier shock about fetching the premium liquor paled in comparison to the news she had heard from her colleagues. Consequently, her attitude toward Su Yunzhou grew even more respectful.

Seeing that her boss and Mr. Su kept their mouths completely shut about the incident from earlier, she sensibly kept quiet as well. Looking at his composed expression, she thought to herself that this was what true grace and hidden depth looked like. No wonder President Liu was being so incredibly deferential and apologetic...

However, it definitely felt a bit strange. The usually arrogant and high-and-mighty President Liu now looked like an obedient little brother. This sheer contrast made her slightly uncomfortable.

Liu Qiang took the XO and personally poured a small half-glass for Su Yunzhou and Lin Shouqing.

"President Su, President Lin, I didn’t know you were coming today, so please forgive my lack of hospitality. I’d like to propose a toast to you both."

Lin Shouqing cluelessly picked up his glass, only thinking that his Old Iron had some serious clout. "President Liu, you’re too polite!"

Su Yunzhou also raised his glass. Although the man was somewhat annoying, he had still done them a favor tonight. "No need to be polite. Let’s drink, let’s drink."

Liu Qiang downed his drink in one gulp, appearing extremely straightforward and generous. He then ordered his subordinates to send over plenty of food and drinks.

Sun Tingting nestled against the secretly passionate Lin Shouqing, her pretty face flushed.

Sitting off to the side, Cui Yao felt a surge of excitement in her heart. She had been to Helens quite a few times, and she had also heard of this President Liu. Rumor had it that he had a bad temper, but looking at him now, it seemed those were just rumors. This rich young heir really had an incredible amount of face.

She told herself that she couldn’t just sit there. His attitude toward her seemed somewhat indifferent. She had to think of a way to latch onto this powerful backer.

Seeing that Su Yunzhou only took small sips, President Liu didn’t stay much longer and excused himself, claiming he had matters to attend to. Before leaving, he instructed Coco to make sure the VIPs were well taken care of and that any of their requests must be satisfied.

Coco naturally understood the underlying implication. The problem was that even though she was willing, he didn’t seem interested in her. It was going to be difficult! What should she do?
