The taxi arrived at the bar.
Qin Zhou casually tossed two 100-yuan bills at the driver and grabbed Liang Yin by the collar as he got out of the car.
Liang Yin instantly felt that despite her 1.8-meter height, she felt about as tall as a bunny beside Qin Zhou.
She said weakly, “Don’t grab me. I can walk on my own.”
“Oh? I thought you’re so frightened you’ve gone weak in the knees.”
“I didn’t go weak in the knees!”
“Then why were you shivering like you did in the car?”
There was a long pause. “It’s cold.”
Qin Zhou glanced at her with a confused expression. Suddenly, he smiled, revealing his white teeth.
Liang Yin glanced at him and asked curiously, “Are you handling this alone?”
“How many others do you need otherwise?”
“The other party has more people. Will they bully you given you’re alone?”
Qin Zhou snorted softly.
“Alright then. I see you’re extremely timid. Just wait for me at the entrance of the bar and don’t go anywhere else.”
“No, I have to go in there with you.”
Liang Yin was also worried about Hua Jin.
Since she said this, Qin Zhou fell silent and did not object.
The two of them walked into the bar.
Club scene at night.
The music was at its most raucous.
Qin Zhou walked through the crowd that was swaying to the beat of the music and headed over to the bar. “I wish to see your manager,” he said to the bartender.
The bartender didn’t even look at him. He assumed that Qin Zhou was drunk and had come to pick a fight. Without looking up, he said, “The manager isn’t here.”
Without another word, Qin Zhou picked up an empty bottle and smashed it against the bar counter.
Shards of glass flew everywhere.
Everyone around them stood up in shock and looked at Qin Zhou fearfully.
Nearby, the manager, who was patrolling the area, heard the commotion and hurried over.
At the same time, the bartender saw that Qin Zhou was openly causing trouble and said angrily, “What are you doing?! Are you looking for trouble?! Do you know whose place this is?!”
“What’s going on?”
The manager hurried over and recognized Qin Zhou immediately. He greeted him politely, “Brother Qin, what brings you here?!”
Qin Zhou was definitely well known in the entertainment industry. If the manager couldn’t even recognize him, he wouldn’t have been a manager in the first place. The bartender was stunned when he saw the manager bowing and scraping to the man. He guiltily put his hands behind his back.
Qin Zhou glanced at the bartender, then back at the manager. “Am I seeing a ghost? I thought the manager wasn’t around?”
The manager glared at the bartender and said, “It’s not your place to cause trouble here. Get lost, and don’t bother coming to work tomorrow!”
“Manager …”
“Cut the crap and get out!”
The bartender bit his lip in grievance and immediately retreated.
The manager rubbed his palms and smiled apologetically. “Brother Qin, it’s so late. Are you here for a drink? You haven’t come here much recently. You must have been busy?!”
“Don’t waste your breath on inconsequential comments.” Qin Zhou said icily, “My artiste’s assistant has been held captive by a customer from your bar. Does that ring any bells?”
“This… I don’t recall… anything like this…”
“No impression at all?” Qin Zhou spoke unhurriedly. Despite his apparent lack of expression, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his tone.
The manager was also someone who knew how to read people. He immediately corrected himself, “I seem to have some vague recollections… However, there are so many customers coming and going here that sometimes, even if we encounter trouble, we can’t do anything to stop it…”
