Chapter 21: The Boss's Sister

~7 min read 1,256 words

Just a pity.

That sales clerk still hasn't figured out exactly where they fell short.

Li Jiaci had already checked out and was about to leave.

Sir.

Your clothes are already packed.

The female sales clerk, with reluctant eyes, handed the bag of old clothes to Li Jiaci.

Li Jiaci casually took it.

But at the moment their fingers touched, his expression suddenly froze.

What the female sales clerk handed over wasn't just his old clothes; there was also an extra small card.

Li Jiaci smiled slightly, and while exchanging the clothes, he tapped the back of the female sales clerk's hand.

The female sales clerk instantly understood, kept giving Li Jiaci flirtatious looks, and saw Li Jiaci and his group to the door before reluctantly whispering to Li Jiaci, "Remember to hook me!"

This scene left Li Yihu and the others staring, dumbfounded.

Brother!

What are you doing…

Li Yihu pointed at Li Jiaci, then at the female sales clerk.

Nothing.

It's just that your brother had people treat him like a fish.

Li Jiaci casually tossed that card into a side trash can, then said to the group, "Clothes are bought; brother will take you to the Song and Dance Hall to let loose."

The others immediately put what just happened behind them, followed Li Jiaci's steps, and got into the car together.

Brother.

Zhang Chuqiang, who was driving, started the car, turned his head and asked Li Jiaci, "Which Song and Dance Hall should we go to?"

Splendid Song and Dance Hall.

Li Jiaci said, "We previously wrecked their place, and they gave us money to start a business; we should at least support them in return, just to repay the favor."

Sure!

……

Half an hour later.

They then appeared outside the Splendid Song and Dance Hall.

As the saying goes, a person relies on clothing, a horse on its saddle.

After strolling through the Dream Special specialty area, they no longer had the air of lowly street thugs.

Especially Li Jiaci, in a proper suit with polished reflective shoes, looked like a successful person.

And because in his previous life he was a ruler.

This outfit actually suited his temperament better, setting him completely apart from others.

The security guards at the entrance responsible for greeting guests were also very courteous, even assigning someone specially to lead them inside.

I'll go.

Changing clothes really makes a difference.

Li Yihu, while adjusting his collar, said, "Back when we went out to play, we never received such treatment."

The others felt the same.

Before, when they went to the Song and Dance Hall, even if they spent money, they would still get sideways glances.

There was no other reason; it was just because they were gangsters, and everyone looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

But that was before.

From now on, he won't let anyone look down on him or his brothers.

Li Jiaci reached out and patted Li Yihu's shoulder, saying, "Brother guarantees you that no matter where we go, we will receive this treatment."

They all cracked smiles.

At this point, the Song and Dance Hall was equivalent to a combination of KTV and disco, with private rooms for singing and a huge dance floor.

In the dance floor there were also gorgeous lights, lively music, and of course, young people dancing wildly.

Li Jiaci first opened a private room, then had the server bring drinks and food.

He first opened a bottle of ice-cold beer, then raised the bottle and said to everyone present, "Today we brothers made money, but this isn't the end, just a start; from now on, brother will bring you to earn loads of money, more than you could ever spend."

Brother also wants to watch you all get married, have kids, build families, and live happily ever after!

This toast is to our bright future!

Having said that, he tipped his head back and drained the bottle in one gulp.

The others also didn't hesitate, rose one after another, and finished their drinks.

But just as Li Jiaci set down the bottle, wanting to say something, he heard a 'bang!' from nearby, and the private room door was slammed open from outside.

Next, a woman in tattered clothes stumbled in from outside.

Everyone present, seeing this, was a bit dazed, completely unable to figure out what was happening.

That woman struggled on the ground twice, got up, and then rushed straight toward Li Jiaci.

The woman grabbed Li Jiaci's arm, her expression manic, shouting, "Powder, do you have any powder? Do you have any powder?!"

As long as you give me powder.

You, you can have me do anything, just give me...

While speaking, she even tried to pull at her own clothes.

Seeing the woman's bruised eye sockets and dull gaze.

Li Jiaci also belatedly reacted; this woman is probably having a drug addiction flare-up.

「Young lady! 」

Just then, a heavily made-up woman leading several men also ran in from outside.

Upon seeing the woman's appearance, several people's faces showed visible panic.

「Everyone, sorry. 」

「This is our young lady; she's had too much to drink today. 」

That woman was the first to speak, apologizing to the several people, then gestured for the others to come forward.

The remaining few didn't hesitate, immediately stepping forward to pull that woman outside.

「Let go of me! 」

「You bastards, let go of me! 」

「I want the powder, I want the powder……」

These men clearly felt fear toward the woman who had just come in and was suffering from a drug addiction.

Even though she repeatedly slapped them, they dared not make a sound.

But just as they were about to drag the addicted woman outside, she suddenly let out a piercing scream and fell flat on her back.

「Miss! 」

The leading woman exclaimed in shock and hurried to check the woman's condition.

The addicted woman's body began to convulse violently, like an epileptic seizure.

「Quick, quick, call an ambulance. 」

The leading woman shouted in panic.

「Too late. 」

Li Jiaci also finally came to his senses at this moment.

He immediately bent down to check the woman's condition.

Actually, at this moment he had already guessed the identity of this woman with a drug addiction.

She was Wang Yingna, the sister of Wang Zhen.

But in his previous life, he had never seen this girl.

Because she couldn't resist the drug addiction, during a bout of torment that left her consciousness muddled, she slit her wrists and committed suicide.

And in the previous life.

He had also heard Wang Zhen mention this more than once.

And whenever he spoke of his sister, Wang Zhen would burst into tears; obviously this had become his lifelong regret.

At this very moment.

Seeing the scene before him.

Li Jiaci also felt a sudden surge of compassion.

Although in this life Wang Zhen does not yet know him, in the previous life the two were truly close confidants.

He also, from the bottom of his heart, did not want his good friend to suffer the pain of losing his sister again.

Moreover, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

And upon seeing Wang Yingna's current condition, Li Jiaci's brows also furrowed.

「She is now experiencing withdrawal symptoms. 」

「If not handled properly, it could endanger her life at any moment. 」

Li Jiaci looked up at the leading woman and said, 「If you don't want her to die, quickly go get methadone and buprenorphine. 」
