Chapter 5: Conflict

"Damn it!" Wang Li was so angry he slammed the table and was about to move, clearly full of rage.

"Brother Li, don't, don't, have you forgotten Brother Tao's words?" Sanmao, who was beside him, quickly stopped him.

Hearing Sanmao, Wang Li forcibly suppressed his anger and cursed at me: "I'm telling you, don't look for death! If I tell you to buy it, you go buy it!"

Seeing their hesitation, I wasn't afraid anymore. I put down the money they gave me, sat to the side, and ignored them.

"Damn it!" Wang Li couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to hit me, but was desperately held back by two men beside him.

"Calm down, Brother Li, calm down!"

Looking at them, I started calculating. If it had been before, I would definitely have been beaten half to death. But in this situation, listening to their words just now, it seemed Brother Tao had said something. But I really had no connection to Brother Tao; he couldn't possibly be looking after me, a small fry. This was something I couldn't figure out.

"Fine, you're good. Sanmao, give him some more money!" Wang Li suppressed his anger and said.

Sanmao took out two red banknotes and handed them to me, telling me to buy some water and food. Seeing the money was enough, I didn't say anything and went to buy the items. After all, I was still working under them, so I should do my job.

After buying the things and returning, I happened to run into Sister Ling. She was dressed very sexily and beautifully today, making one's heart race. Sister Ling saw me and greeted me: "Little Yunyun, how is it? Are you okay today? Did they bully you again?"

Hearing Sister Ling's concerned words, I felt a bit strange and subconsciously shook my head: "Thank you, Sister Ling. I really owe it to you yesterday. When I have time, I'll definitely treat you to a meal alone. Thank you, Sister Ling!"

Sister Ling smiled when she heard me: "Alright, I'll definitely look for you in a few days!"

After chatting for a bit, I carried the things back into the KTV. Wang Li and his men opened the bag I was holding and started smoking.

Because it was the weekend, they got off work very late, at 12:00 AM. After work, I prepared to go home, but not far from the KTV, I was blocked at an intersection by a few people.

These people were none other than Wang Li and his crew. I had thought everything was fine today, but it turned out the trouble happened at night. I didn't feel surprised; instead, I was very calm.

Since I dared to come to work today, I was, of course, prepared. I carried my bag, still feeling a bit afraid, as the shadow Wang Li cast over me wasn't so easy to break.

"Damn it, moron, you're very arrogant today, aren't you?" Wang Li spoke first and walked over slowly.

"If you want to fight, hurry up, don't dilly-dally!" I gathered my courage, gripping my bag tightly.

Inside the bag was a steel pipe. I had specifically prepared it yesterday, fearing they would make a move on me today. There were three of them, and they usually relied on numbers. If it were a one-on-one fight, none of them would be my match. The main reason for my past cowardice was fear.

Seeing me suddenly so tough, Wang Li was very confused and asked the two men beside him: "What's going on? Why does he suddenly have such confidence?"

Sanmao was also puzzled. But among them, Sanmao was the smartest. He looked at me for a long time and then whispered to Wang Li: "Brother Li, I don't think things are simple. With Brother Tao's words yesterday and his toughness today, I have a feeling this kid might have found a backer."

They spoke in low voices, and I couldn't hear clearly, but I could see they seemed very wary.

Wang Li wasn't stupid, either. Seeing my sudden change, he couldn't judge the situation.

"Brother Li, I think we should let it go for today. We'll find some people to test him another day!" Sanmao suggested to Wang Li.

Wang Li had been in the business for many years, so he wasn't a fool. He nodded, looked at me, and left a vicious remark: "Moron, don't get cocky. I'm telling you, this isn't over!"

After saying that, Wang Li left with his men. Seeing them walk away, I let out a sigh of relief. Actually, I was also very afraid. If we had really fought, I didn't know who would win, but I would definitely have been injured.

Over the past few days, I had learned a lot from Sister Ling and that girl. The girl's life was indeed not easy, and I still couldn't figure out Sister Ling's situation. I only knew she was apparently a widow; she had been married before, but her husband had passed away. I couldn't find out much else, but one thing was certain: Sister Ling and her husband were very famous on the street, and people were quite respectful to her, even though her husband was dead.

For a week, Wang Li and his crew didn't make any moves, but I didn't think things would pass so easily.

One Saturday night, I was in the room with Wang Li and his crew as usual. They were playing cards, and I was boredly reading a book on the side.

Suddenly, a woman rushed over and shouted: "It's bad, it's bad! Something happened in Room 316!"

Wang Li put down his cards and asked: "What happened?"

"A few people from the other side are forcing us to do that kind of thing. Su Xueyan refused, and now she's being beaten badly. The security guards can't stop them!"

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. I stood up and asked: "Didn't you call the police?"

"Moron!" Wang Li snorted when he heard me.

"They're all hoodlums, calling the police is mostly useless. Even if they go in for a few days, they'll come back to cause trouble when they get out!" the woman said, looking troubled.

"Yang Yun, don't you like playing the hero? Why don't you go?" Wang Li smiled playfully as he looked at me.

Seeing Wang Li's reaction, I frowned slightly. Usually, Wang Li would take us with him, but this time he let me go alone. I felt this matter might not be simple, but I couldn't think about that now. Since it involved Su Xueyan, I ran straight to 316.

Arriving at the door of 316, I saw a few men in the room acting like wild beasts, clearly drunk, cursing at a group of people.

"Damn, I spent money to come here and have fun, it's not like I'm not paying! What are you acting so high and mighty for? Aren't you just selling yourselves? I have plenty of money!" a shirtless, tattooed brute cursed.

I saw the girl huddled in the corner, her clothes disheveled, crying. It was clear she had been molested. However, looking at the scene of them cursing, it seemed she hadn't suffered too much yet.
