Xu Yan helped her father into the room. This room had not been tidied up ever since her father had been hospitalized, and the floor and furniture had already been covered with a layer of dust.
Xu Yan took out a feather duster from the table and cleaned up the sofa before helping her father to sit down, "Dad, you should take a rest first. I'll clean up here."
Mr Xu had just recovered, but was in good spirits as he shook his head, "That youngster outside is still waiting for you. I'll clean up the house myself."
Seeing that her father was adamant, Xu Yan did not insist and lightly nodded her head.
"That guy looks pretty good. He's tall and handsome, and also has a lot of skills. I think he's a good match for you." Mr Xu said slowly as he looked at Xu Yan.
Hearing this, Xu Yan sighed in her heart. She was just a common woman, she couldn't match up to Zhang Yang at all. If he was willing, regardless of whether it was out of affection or gratitude, she was willing to be his lover.
Dad, you don't have to worry about me. I'm going to work soon, and I might not be able to come back soon. Take care of yourself. As she spoke, Xu Yan took out a stack of money from her bag. It was about two thousand yuan.
"Why do I need your money if I have hands and feet?" Mr Xu declined.
"You've just recovered and you can't go out and look for a job. "Oh right, I've already paid back the usury that you owe me, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." Xu Yan's expression couldn't help but darken when she said this.
With her having just graduated from university, how could she possibly be able to repay those hundreds of thousands of usury loans? As such, she had no choice but to tell her father about her position as a stage lady in a bar that was now deeply entrenched in a dragon.
"He's back?" Mr Xu's body trembled visibly as he asked in great shock, "That was several tens of thousands! Where did you get so much money from?"
I've borrowed some money from my classmates, and also borrowed some money. You don't have to worry about these things. Afraid that Zhang Yang would wait too long, Xu Yan hurriedly left.
In the taxi, Zhang Yang crossed his legs and smoked. Because he had given Zhang Yang enough money and the driver saw him dressed like a hoodlum, the driver didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he offered Zhang Yang a cigarette.
Being a hoodlum was pretty good. Zhang Yang smoked as he gazed at the scenery outside the window. At this moment, the sound of high heels on the ground came. The person who had come was none other than Xu Yan.
"It's great that you're here so soon. Why don't you stay with the old man a little longer?" Zhang Yang opened the car door for him and smiled.
"There's no need. Let's hurry up and go back. If we go back too late, we might be suspicious." Xu Yan urged the driver on.
Zhang Yang asked something else. When they returned to the bar, it was already 5 pm. The sun had just set and the bar had already opened for business.
Looking at the scattered customers, Zhang Yang walked straight to the corner where the booths were reserved for the bullies. At this time, yellow-hair and the other bullies were all sitting there.
"F * ck! Brother Tallow, you just came back. If you didn't come back, I would have called the police." The yellow-hair looked at Zhang Yang and said exaggeratedly.
Zhang Yang didn't answer, instead, he casually found a seat and sat down.
"You didn't do it with that Xu Yan again, right?" The yellow-hair guessed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like that sort of person?" Zhang Yang replied.
The yellow-hair and the other bullies looked Zhang Yang up and down before they said in unison, "You're not an elephant, but you're an absolute elephant."
"Whatever you say." Zhang Yang took out a bottle of beer from under the table and started to drink.
Being a watchman in a bar, he didn't earn a lot of money and often had to work hard. However, there were still some benefits. Most of the time, he was free to drink cheap beer.
When it was eight or nine in the evening, it was obvious that there were more guests. Blondie, Zhang Yang and the other bullies also got busy. Zhang Yang was assigned to be responsible for the security of the public area of the bar.
At this moment, Zhang Yang was patrolling back and forth in the general area with his hands in his pockets. With his sharp eyes, he soon found some shady business, such as white powder and drugs. There were quite a number of people trading in here.
The Raging Dragon's gang itself was involved in gambling, so it wasn't strange for these to appear on the scene. Zhang Yang did not come here to collect any evidence. What he wanted was to prove that this scene was under Li Li's command, and that Kuang Long and Li Li had a subordinate relationship.
Because of his handsome appearance and tall and straight body, many beauties favored Zhang Yang when he appeared in the bar. Some bold women even invited Zhang Yang for a drink.
Zhang Yang didn't reject any of them. While drinking, he also took the chance to fish up some oil, which made these girls pout, "You damn bastard, you only drink when you want to, and you even took advantage of me."
Zhang Yang smirked and went off on another patrol. He hadn't taken a few steps when he saw Xu Yan, who was dressed particularly seductively, chatting with a red-faced man. Have you never seen a pig run before?
Evidently, Xu Yan was in the middle of negotiating with that customer. If they could agree on a deal, she would immediately go to a nearby hotel to do business. Zhang Yang had come across this kind of thing many times tonight. However, when his target was Xu Yan, he still felt a bit disgusted.
There was no way something would happen between him and Xu Yan, and it was unlikely that the two of them would have anything to do with each other. However, he didn't really want to see a school beauty fall just like that.
Zhang Yang walked to Xu Yan's side silently. At this moment, the red-faced man who had drank a lot shouted loudly, "You f * cking robbed! You want two thousand f * cking each time, do you think you're a school beauty?" "I'll pay eight hundred, I won't pay any more points. If you don't accompany me today, don't blame me for being rude."
Xu Yan had probably just started doing this not long ago, talking about this sort of thing in public places like bars. It was obvious that she was afraid of the scene and had her head lowered, thinking about something.
"Bro, causing trouble at our place?" At this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly opened his mouth and patted Xu Yan's back. Zhang Yang then quietly appeared and shocked both Xu Yan and the red-faced man.
"So what? Your young miss here pretends to be aloof, asking for a sky-high price. " The red-faced man drank a bit too much, and his tone was very harsh. Normally, he wouldn't dare to act wildly at Kuang Long's place, but because everything went badly for him today, he came to the bar to have fun. It wasn't easy for him to meet a top quality lady, but the price she offered was too expensive, and he didn't bring that much money with him today.
Zhang Yang was still worrying about how to stop Xu Yan, but now that this guy just appeared, he had an idea. He didn't know if what he had done was good or bad for Xu Yan.
"A sky-high price? How much does she want for it?" Zhang Yang blinked his eyes at yellow-hair and the others as he spoke. They all knew that something might have happened to Zhang Yang and gathered over here.
However, the man with a red face did not know which tendons were wrong, or whether it was because he had drunk too much wine. He immediately scolded, "What, relying on what people want to do? Let me tell you, I have a few brothers who are out here messing around too. They're all here today."
"Really? No wonder he dares to cause trouble here." Zhang Yang purposely emphasized the word 'causing trouble', so that yellow-hair could hear what he was saying.
The yellow-hair and the other guys didn't know what was going on. However, when they heard Zhang Yang say that the man in front of them was here to cause trouble, their eyes immediately became fierce.
"Hmph, today I'll give this girl eight hundred yuan for one night, now I'll take her to get a room." The man with the red face said as he stood up, preparing to pull Xu Yan away.
How could Zhang Yang allow him to do what he wanted? He instantly grabbed his arm and said calmly, "The price is not yet agreed. What's the hurry? Besides, this is not your territory. You better be honest with me."
"Who do you think you are?" The man with a red face cursed and without saying anything further, he took out his phone and made a call.
Zhang Yang and the others didn't stop him. The yellow-hair had been in the bar for several years, so he had seen a lot of these kinds of things happening here. Although Mad Dragon was famous in the street, some people still drank too much and dared to cause a ruckus here without putting anyone in their eyes.
Since the other party dared to cause trouble here, he must have some background too. He didn't dare to be careless, so he gestured to a little lackey with small eyes beside him, "Go back and get some people to come over. We might have a fight later on."
The moment Little Eye raised his leg and ran backwards, he was stopped by Zhang Yang. "No need, I'm enough by myself."
Yellow-hair had fought with Zhang Yang on the day he arrived. He knew that Zhang Yang had a terrifying background, so he didn't let Little Eye call out for him anymore. He only said, "Don't worry, this is Big Brother Kuang Long's territory. He probably doesn't know about it."
Zhang Yang didn't say anything. Did he look like he was afraid?
The red-faced man quickly put down the phone and fiercely said, "Now let this young lady come with me. There is still room for negotiation. If my brother arrives later, then there won't be any good to say."
Zhang Yang, yellow-hair, and the others glanced at each other and revealed a smile. "Well, tell your buddies to come here as soon as possible. To be honest, I haven't fought with them in the past few days."
The red-faced man let out a cold snort and headed straight outside, probably to wait for his brother.
"Little Eye, go watch him. Don't let him sneak away." Yellow-hair had a lot of experience, so he immediately ordered Little Eye to keep an eye out. After staying in the bar for so many years, he had come across quite a number of people who were extremely arrogant back then, and then took the opportunity to slip away.
The yellow-hair quickly left the area to patrol the other areas as well. Seeing that everyone had left, Xu Yan said apologetically to Zhang Yang, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again."
"Look at what you're saying, you won't blame me for meddling in your business, will you?" Zhang Yang felt a little awkward when it came to business.
"No, no, I don't want to do his business." Xu Yan quickly shook her head. Finally, she lowered her head and whispered, "I know you look down on me, but I …"
"I didn't say that. Let me ask you, if you had the choice, would you still be here?" Zhang Yang asked casually.
"Nope." Xu Yan hesitated for a moment before replying.
Zhang Yang nodded. He had the ability to help Xu Yan out of her current predicament, but he still had to play the role of an undercover spy. He couldn't rush things, so the yellow-hair waved at him.
"Then you can say that your stomach isn't feeling well and ask for a leave of absence these few days. I think that this place will disappear in a few days …!" After saying that in a low voice, Zhang Yang turned around and walked towards the door.
