Chapter 59: An Yunxi Faces Trouble

Kid, a week ago, wasn't it you who disabled more than ten of my lackeys? the middle-aged man asked indifferently.

Lin Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, you've mistaken the person..."

Gu Shiyan and her friends sat to the side, also scared until their pretty faces turned deathly pale.

What, what is going on?

These pretty white-collar workers have never encountered such a dangerous situation in their lives.

So many thugs came to cause trouble?

"Damn it, it's you! I've always remembered this face! Even if you turned to ashes I'd still recognize you!" that lackey shouted angrily.

The middle-aged man asked calmly, "Young man, you have the guts to hit my Changsheng Association's people, but you don't have the guts to admit it?"

Lin Yuan saw he couldn't dodge, so he simply stopped pretending, "Alright, it was me who hit them."

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Shiyan and several friends behind him.

The middle-aged man smiled, a deep smile, "Young man, your courage is indeed not small. Do you know who I am?"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Chang Jinghe, Chairman of Changsheng Group." the middle-aged man introduced himself.

Swish—upon hearing that name, Gu Shiyan and several friends' pretty faces changed.

Chang Jinghe?!

That name is extremely famous in Hangcheng!

Chairman of Changsheng Group! Chang Jinghe!

Rumors have long circulated that Chang Jinghe appears to run an import-export conglomerate, but secretly he mixes in the Jianghu! Moreover he is a tyrant of the Underground Jianghu, ruthless and cruel!

Tonight it seems the rumors are indeed true!

Lin Yuan, however, had some doubts; he had never heard that name.

He has been in Hangcheng for only a few years, so he's not very familiar with the city's business situation.

"Kid, you hit my men, you owe me an explanation," Chang Jinghe said in a light tone.

At that moment, behind Chang Jinghe, a muscular man wearing sunglasses slowly stepped forward.

That sunglassed man wore a suit; his sturdy muscles seemed about to burst the suit.

That man exuded killing intent from head to toe.

His breathing was deep and powerful; he was definitely a trained martial artist.

"Chang Dong, your people kidnapped me first; my men were only rescuing me, why bother my men?" At that moment, a cold female voice came from behind.

Only then did An Yunxi walk forward in high heels.

She came to Lin Yuan's front, her beautiful eyes locking with Chang Jinghe's.

Chang Jinghe smiled, "Manager An, I never intended to kidnap you; that night I only wanted to invite you for tea to discuss the cargo."

"Our bar has no interest in your goods," An Yunxi replied.

At that moment, inside the bar's dance floor, a group of patrons watched the scene with some worry.

"Manager An, you refused so quickly, how am I to save face? My goods yield high profits; are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" Chang Jinghe asked with a smile.

"Let's go upstairs to talk; don't mess up my business here. Otherwise the boss will blame us, which is no good for anyone," An Yunxi said lightly.

Upon hearing her mention that "boss," Chang Jinghe's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Fine, then I'll give your boss face." Chang Jinghe then led his men upstairs.

An Yunxi gave Lin Yuan a look, telling him to stay in the bar and not go out.

After An Yunxi and her group went upstairs, the music in the bar's dance floor started again.

Meanwhile, all the security of Goddess Bar, under Zhang Ligang's leadership, went upstairs.

The scene was solemn.

……

Second floor of the bar, VIP private room.

An Yunxi and Chang Jinghe sat facing each other.

Before the tea table lay two cups of liquor.

"Manager An, this foreign liquor of my Changsheng Association is guaranteed to make your bar a fortune, continuously drawing customers in. Such a fine product, why not let it be distributed in your Goddess Bar?" Chang Jinghe said slowly.

Beneath his gold-rimmed glasses lay a deep, imposing aura.

An Yunxi shook her head, "Our bar only sells legitimate alcohol, we don't sell contraband poison. Chang Dong, your liquor contains poppy husk ingredients, which are strongly addictive. This is illegal."

Chang Jinghe has been promoting a liquor that contains strong addictive ingredients, poppy husk.

It can make someone become addicted instantly upon drinking.

Although this liquor yields huge profits, An Yunxi's Goddess Bar firmly refuses to sell it.

Chang Jinghe smiled even more deeply, "Manager An, you too are a Jianghu person, what are you afraid of? Among us Jianghu folk, who doesn't lick blood from the blade? Does breaking the law bring huge profits? This liquor can multiply your bar's turnover several times."

An Yunxi still shook her head, "If the police find out, it could also land us in prison for several more years."

Chang Jinghe smiled deeply, "If you don't tell and I don't tell, how would the police know? Moreover I've already smoothed over some connections; even if the police discover it, it's no big deal."

An Yunxi still refused, "Sorry, Chang Dong, our Goddess Bar only operates legitimately, we never engage in illegal business. This is my opinion, and also the boss's."

Upon hearing this, Chang Jinghe's eyes finally narrowed, "So there's nothing left to discuss?"

Goddess Bar is Hangcheng's best entertainment venue. As long as we secure this distribution point, this poisonous liquor's sales could multiply several times!

This is enormous profit, so Chang Jinghe doesn't want to give up.

"Everything else can be negotiated, but this liquor we will not sell," An Yunxi said slowly.

Chang Jinghe's eyes narrowed, "Heh, very good, Manager An, since you choose not to drink the toast, I can only have you drink the penalty."

Chang Jinghe snapped his fingers.

In an instant, outside the treasure chest, his men kicked open the private room's door without a word.

"Chang Jinghe, what are you trying to do? Do you want to cause trouble inside the Goddess Bar?!" An Yunxi finally got angry too, shouting delicately.

"Yes, you guessed right." Chang Jinghe smiled deeply, then ordered, "Please bring Manager An back to our company and treat him to a drink."

A group of his men rushed forward, intending to kidnap An Yunxi.

Zhang Ligang outside the door shouted angrily, "Damn it! Get them!"

In an instant, dozens of security guards from the Goddess Bar rushed into the private room.

A melee was about to erupt!

Both sides clashed, the scene chaotic and violent.

An Yunxi retreated to the rear.

Zhang Ligang led a group of security guards forward, shielding An Yunxi.

"Chang Jinghe, are you really trying to start a war with our Goddess Bar?! Aren't you afraid the boss will intervene?!" An Yunxi shouted angrily.

Chang Jinghe leaned on his cane and said lightly, "The boss of your Goddess Bar has always been mysterious; I've never seen his abilities before. Well, today I intend to properly experience them."

At this moment, a bunch of lackeys from the Prosperous Society rushed forward madly, while Zhang Ligang and others fought desperately.

Seeing that the melee between both sides was evenly matched, Chang Jinghe grew impatient.

"A bunch of useless fools, can't even take down these few Goddess Bar security guards. Hey, Nushi, you go." Chang Jinghe called out.

Only then did the burly man wearing sunglasses behind him nod slowly.

The sunglass-wearing man finally took off his sunglasses.

Behind the sunglasses, his eyes were ice-cold, like a ferocious beast.

An Yunxi heard the title "Nushi" and her pretty face changed dramatically.

Nushi?

Within the Prosperous Society, there are the Four Great War Gods.

These Four Great War Gods are the Prosperous Society's pinnacle of combat power.

They are, respectively… Nushi, Liebao, Jumang, and Liehu.

And this sunglass-wearing man before you is none other than one of the Four Great War Gods, Nushi!

He was once a provincial free-fighting champion, his methods extremely brutal.

A few years ago, Chang Jinghe hired him at a high price, and now he has become one of the Four Great War Gods within the Prosperous Society.

His combat power is said to be the Prosperous Society's ceiling level.

An Yunxi never expected the Prosperous Society would actually summon Nushi.

At this moment, Nushi made his move.

"Bang! Bang bang!" Nushi's strike was extremely brutal.

He raised his hand, his leg technique surging, directly kicking a group of Goddess Bar security guards flying one after another.

Zhang Ligang's expression changed drastically, he rushed forward to attempt a counterattack.

As a result, he was directly hit in the chest by Nushi's punch.

"Pfft!" Zhang Ligang spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying on the spot.

Zhang Ligang trembled, trying to get up.

"Nushi struck extremely fast, he rushed forward again, "Bang!" delivering a heavy hook."

"Pfft!" Zhang Ligang's jaw was hit, his whole body sent flying into the air.

Nushi lifted his leg and kicked Zhang Ligang again.

"Boom!" Zhang Ligang was kicked flying… and fell down to the first floor.

In the first-floor dance floor, everyone was terrified.

Zhang Ligang lay on the ground, spitting blood, his face grim.

"Hah, Goddess Bar? That's all." Chang Jinghe sneered.

"Nushi, seize An Yunxi and take her away." Chang Jinghe ordered Nushi.

"Understood!" Nushi nodded, rushed forward and grabbed An Yunxi's throat in one motion.

An Yunxi, after all, is just a woman, utterly unable to resist.

An Yunxi's snowy-white neck was seized, her delicate body instantly lifted off the ground.

"Withdraw." Chang Jinghe said lightly, then went downstairs.

Nushi carried An Yunxi downstairs.

A group of Prosperous Society's lackeys followed downstairs, the atmosphere grim and cold.

Inside the first-floor lobby, all the patrons hurriedly made way in fear.

No one dared to get involved in this dispute.

Seeing that An Yunxi was about to be taken away.

Lin Yuan finally couldn't hold back; he suddenly stood up and stepped in front of Chang Jinghe and the others.

"Release Manager An!"

An Yunxi has been good to him; working at the bar, she also looks after him. She even gave him a part-time job to earn money.

So Lin Yuan intends to speak up for Manager An.

"Lin Yuan, don't interfere, move aside! This isn't something you can handle! My boss will save me!" An Yunxi feared Lin Yuan would do something stupid, and shouted urgently.

Gu Shiyan and her friends were also frightened; Gu Shiyan lightly tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve, signaling him to come back quickly.

But Lin Yuan still stood in the way, blocking the path.

Chang Jinghe grew impatient, he waved his hand and said, "Abolish him."

Behind him, a group of Prosperity Society thugs instantly flanked and rushed forward!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!!" The ensuing scene made everyone's eyes widen!

Lin Yuan stood still, and in a flash he struck.

One after another, the thugs who rushed forward had their arms dislocated...

The thugs screamed as they were kicked to the ground!

After a few minutes, over a dozen Prosperity Society thugs were all knocked down.

Everyone in the bar stared wide-eyed.

Nushi's pupils constricted.

"Bone-Dislocation Technique? You practice traditional martial arts? Heh, somewhat interesting. Forget it, let me cripple you. Traditional martial arts—just a pile of dog shit." Nushi's voice carried a cold sneer.

He shoved An Yunxi away.

In the next second, Nushi burst forward like a savage beast lunging at Lin Yuan!

Nushi trains in regulated free fighting—punches, kicks, joint locks, wrestling, strangulation—all Western combat techniques fused together; the moment he attacks, no traditional martial art can stand against him!

Moreover, he's the provincial free-fighting champion!

Seeing Nushi's kick coming, its force was terrifying!

Even the air let out a sharp whoosh.

Lin Yuan also lashed out with a fierce kick!
