Chapter 104: Love Triangle
No one could stop Long Ge's footsteps. He ignored the shouting of his subordinates, taking step after step until he stood two feet away from Qin Yan.
"Are you a warrior?" he asked, but his tone was affirmative.
"Huh?"
This time, Qin Yan was surprised. There wasn't a single martial artist who could tell the strength of their opponent without them making a move. However, there were special things about martial artists, such as the lightness of their footsteps when walking, which ordinary people couldn't do. Therefore, although he couldn't see the difference in strength, he could judge whether or not his opponent was a martial artist.
Obviously, Dragon Brother is not a martial artist.
It's no wonder that someone like Ge Cheng can reach the seventh level of martial arts and become a big shot in a small place like Qingyang County, I'm afraid there are only a few people in the world who can do this.
It's precisely because of this that Qin Yan was surprised: if this guy wasn't a martial artist, how could he possibly know about the special group of martial artists?
"Don't be surprised, I'm not, but it doesn't mean I haven't seen it before."
When he said this, Qin Yan discovered that a flash of cold killing intent had flashed through the depths of Long Ge's eyes, and the object of the killing intent was not himself.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Qin Yan didn't respond to his question. Since he knew the martial artist, he should know that these people couldn't stop him.
"My name is Dong Qinglong." Long Ge stretched out his hand.
“……”
Qin Yan didn't extend his hand, he just looked him up and down, without even reporting his own name, letting Long Ge's hand stiffen in mid-air, and made a gesture to Su Hao to walk towards the stairs.
He doesn't have any particular dislike for underworld figures, nor does he feel particularly close to them. He won't go out of his way to cause trouble for people in the underworld, but neither has he ever thought about befriending them.
They are people from two different worlds.
When Qin Yan and the others left the third floor, Long Tang's core members rushed up, one of whom was a big man who wasn't wearing an olive green vest. He said in a harsh tone: "Boss, this kid is too arrogant, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he's afraid of a kitchen knife. We have over a hundred people and guns, we should have taken him down earlier!"
"Idiot!"
The heavily injured Da Kui let out a low growl after being severely wounded by Qin Yan's single move. Having come from different backgrounds and having different perspectives, he was someone who had walked out with Dragon Brother and knew some things that ordinary people did not know.
"Didn't you see him put his hand on the table?" Long Ge glanced at the marble table not far away.
"What does it mean?" asked Da Han.
"If you had fired a shot just now, he would have used the marble table as a shield against the bullets."
"You're kidding!"
Everyone looked incredulous, and the big man was equally disbelieving: "The bullet is so fast, can he put up the table in time? Moreover, that marble table weighs at least 300-400 kilograms, can he move it?"
Most people in this world are ignorant and fearless, but there are always some who have a sense of reverence for certain things, such as those few men wearing olive green vests like Dragon Brother.
One of the men with a national character thought for a moment and asked, "With our manpower and weapons, how confident are we in taking him down?"
"I don't know."
Long Ge shook his head and sighed, "I'm not clear about his strength either, but one thing is certain. Even if he can't guarantee the safety of his companions, at least he himself won't be hurt by bullets. If they escape today, Long Tang will face endless slaughter and ultimately perish."
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock. Everyone knew Dragon's temper, he never spoke carelessly, his principle was to do better than speak, and once he said something, it would not be false.
One person destroyed a gang, what kind of strength is that?
It wasn't long before the third floor was bustling again, and what had just happened was treated as an interlude in the banquet. The hundred or so gangsters resumed their gluttony, eating large chunks of meat and drinking from big bowls.
In a small hall inside the banquet hall, four men sat, all wearing olive green vests. The big man whose arm was broken by Qin Yan had already been sent to the hospital.
"Dragon Brother, can he?" one of them asked, with a hint of hesitation in his expression.
"I'm not very sure, but I won't let go of this opportunity, he's different!" A hint of determination and excitement flashed in Long Ge's eyes.
"It's been five years..." The man who spoke first sighed.
"Yes, it's been five years..."
Long Ge took a deep breath, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with memories of the past. These memories eventually turned into a cold and ruthless killing intent: "36 brothers, in the end only 5 of us survived. We are not afraid to die, from the moment we joined, we were prepared to die, but it's absolutely not going to be at the hands of those bastards!"
The floodgates of memory opened, and the other three clenched their fists with a crackling sound. That black memory seemed to rush forward like a nightmare...
Kong Zhengfeng was pulled down the stairs by Su Hao, and he still felt a bit dizzy now.
He even specially pulled Qin Yan's arm over and carefully checked it up and down, making sure there were no mechanisms installed in the elbow area, such as steel plates or protective gear.
But...
It was all the more shocking to him: that's an arm! It's flesh and blood, a resilient body of flesh and blood, and even a small knife would bleed profusely with just one cut. But what had stabbed before was a bayonet, and the guy holding the bayonet looked incredibly powerful, how could he not even scratch a layer of skin?
He had previously seen Tan Zixuan kick a wall lamp to pieces, and he thought this girl was too fierce. But after seeing Qin Yan take action, he found that Tan Zixuan was weak in comparison.
Qin Yan didn't say much to him, but Su Hao quietly told him that this matter must not be made public.
Qin Yan knew that this new friend needed some time to digest, and after digestion was over, he should make a wise decision. By then, it would still be in time to open up honestly.
The girls on the second floor didn't know what had happened upstairs, and seeing a row of people coming down safely, they all surrounded them and chattered to ask questions.
Of course, they would never know the truth.
The little episode didn't affect Qin Yan's appetite, but instead gave Kong Zhengfeng a test. Everyone returned to the second floor private room again. What was strange was that from start to finish, no police appeared, and the two guys who were beaten half to death by Qin Yan and Kong Zhengfeng earlier also mysteriously disappeared.
Nothing was different from before the incident, except that Xavi rushed to run into the package room first, pretending to accidentally swap seats with Su Hao.
Before this, Su Hao sat on Qin Yan's left side, and Jiang Xiaoyan was on Qin Yan's right side.
Moreover, this girl never argued with Qin Yan again. When Qin Yan was drinking with Su Hao and Kong Zhengfeng, she was more diligent than Jiang Xiaoyan in serving dishes to Qin Yan.
It's easy to understand once you see it.
Jiang Xiaoyan watched but was also powerless, she wasn't Qin Yan's anything, what right did she have to speak? Moreover, Xia Weiwei was still her good friend, most importantly Qin Yan had saved Xia Weiwei, out of gratitude he treated his benefactor a bit better, which was also not unreasonable.
"Waiter, the bill!" With a full stomach and a happy host, Jiang Xiaoying called the waiter over.
"Miss, your order has already been taken by someone else."
Did you pay the bill?
Who bought it?
Qin Yan didn't frown, because everyone knew that Jiang Xiaoyan's financial situation was not good, so they didn't order any expensive dishes. The drinks were also moderately priced, so this meal wasn't very expensive. In other words, Jiang Xiaoyan had to pay for this meal. On the one hand, it would make her feel less indebted to herself, and on the other hand, it was also a sign of respect for her.
Besides, with Kong Zhengfeng's promise, Jiang Xiaoyan must have received the notice and will not worry about money in the future. This amount of money can still be spent.
His eyes scanned over everyone in the private room, but it was clear from their expressions that the person who would be footing the bill was not among them.
Then, a face emerged in his mind, Qin Yan's heart secretly smiled bitterly...
"Lao Kong, you've had too much to drink and can't drive. Why not find a designated driver? Or leave the car here and pick it up tomorrow, just call a taxi. Right now is an important moment for Kong Haichuan's career, Qin Yan doesn't want to see tomorrow's city news headlines reading 'Deputy Mayor's son drunk driving with no regard for the law'."
"It's okay, I'll just help Zhengfeng call a taxi."
Lu Yan quickly took the initiative to attack. She knew that among the three men today, the best one was not Kong Zhengfeng, but she also knew that she had no chance of getting the other two.
Didn't you see that Jiang Xiaoying has a crush on Qin Yan?
Haven't you seen that Shavi's attitude has also changed greatly?
These two are both Su Ying's goddesses. For an ordinary man to get one of them is already a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, what kind of ability does she have to compete with?
As for Su Hao...
Lu Yan not only knew she couldn't compete with the fiery goddess, but even if she could, she didn't dare to compete. She didn't want to become that poor wall lamp.
An unexpected incident occurred in between, which actually helped Kong Zhengfeng sober up a bit, and his mind was still very clear.
"I have something to use the car for tomorrow, it's inconvenient to leave it here."
His gaze passed over Lu Yan and finally locked onto Zhang Yingying: "Miss Zhang, I heard you mention earlier that you have a driver's license. Do you happen to be free to lend a hand?"
This remark is quite standard, first stating that the car will be used tomorrow, which means that the car cannot be left here, indirectly refusing Lu Yanyan's offer to send him a taxi, but also not hurting the girl's face. At the same time, Xi Jian heard that Zhang Yingying had a driver's license, which gave him a suitable reason to ask for Zhang Yingying's help.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes: Lu Yan, who is a bit infatuated, has a crush on Kong Zhengfeng, but Kong Zhengfeng has feelings for Zhang Yingying.
"This..." Zhang Yinyin hesitated a little.
She felt pretty good about Kong Zhengfeng, and it was only natural that they couldn't talk about romance at first contact. However, he helped Xiaowei out by holding a beer bottle, and Xiaowei had nothing to do with him, which showed that he had a sense of justice. He also gave Jiang Xiaoyan an advertising contract, which showed that he was very loyal to his friends.
But Zhang Yingying had concerns, she, Jiang Xiaoyan and Lu Yan were roommates and close friends, Kong Zhengfeng had rejected Lu Yan, if she agreed to help him drive, it might hurt their sisterly relationship.
On the other hand, Lu Yan's eyes flashed a hint of loss, but she quickly smiled: "What? Afraid I'll be embarrassed? We're sisters forever, but competition is competition, let you go then. However, if you don't want to accept it, don't blame me for not being polite."
At this point, even Qin Yan and Su Hao were somewhat surprised, for the first time truly noticing Lu Yan.
This girl is a bit airheaded and can't walk properly when she sees a handsome guy, but her tolerance is not ordinary, this is something that many men can't do, let alone women.
"Alright, let's go hail a taxi," said Lu Yan.
"My car has only one seat."
Su Hao shrugged and pulled Tang Zixuan's hand, indicating that he could only bring his own girlfriend. He then looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and Xia Weiwei with a strange gaze: "Yan Ge's car also only has one seat."
