Chapter 171: Even Dragons Have Gentleness
Chapter 171: Even Dragons Have Gentleness
A cold sensation dissipated from his face, and Wang Hao, who was about to pass out, suddenly became clear-headed, his hazy gaze focusing.
From two Xiao Cheng and two Bai Lu, to rows of Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu, finally returning to one and a half Xiao Cheng and one and a half Bai Lu, they could barely stand by the edge of the sofa.
"What just happened..." Wang Hao shook his head, sliding onto the sofa.
Lowering his head to smell the scent of alcohol on himself, he sniffed forcefully, "It smells so good, Cheng Ge, which one is this? The wine given by the little rabbit... good wine..."
Although Bai Lu dodged quickly, Xiao Cheng was still affected by the strong scent of alcohol. His mind, just recovering, gradually became drowsy, and his vision became somewhat unclear.
Instinctively holding onto Bai Lu, he rested his head on her shoulder, "Lulu, I want to go home..."
The surrounding people who were on guard were instantly stunned, shocked beyond belief, their jaws dropping.
Gasps of cold air resounded.
If it weren't for the figures in the corner, lying half-sitting, with heads bleeding and trembling, and the ground scattered with chaotic debris, the smell of blood and various strong alcohol constantly assaulting their senses, they wouldn't believe it.
The moment before, Xiao Cheng was so fierce and brutal, beating people mercilessly, and now he was leaning on the shoulder of an innocent-looking girl, saying he wanted to go home.
His tone was still... not indifferent.
Forgive them for not being able to imagine or believe that Xiao Cheng, who was renowned on the streets as a ruthless and evil dragon, could speak in such a gentle tone.
Certainly not gentle.
Xiao Cheng just treated beautiful girls less coldly; he was still cruel and cold-blooded at heart.
Those who had witnessed Xiao Cheng's brutal methods many times shook their heads, rubbing their eyes forcefully to clear their vision.
Staring wide-eyed, looking at the person standing in front of the almost completely destroyed sofa, was that really Xiao Cheng?
Was the person who spoke just now really Xiao Cheng?
Looking at the girl, would she push Xiao Cheng away, considering the violent and tragic scene that had just occurred?
She should be afraid and push Xiao Cheng away, right?
Unexpectedly.
Not only did the girl not push Xiao Cheng away, but she also hugged him back and said softly, "Okay, let's go home right away."
The hall once again echoed with louder cracking sounds.
Followed by the continuous sound of heavy objects falling.
Bai Lu looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw, not far from Wang Hao, in the corner, figures swaying and falling. Obviously, those who couldn't handle the alcohol had passed out.
This kind of overpowering alcohol, Bai Lu had only seen it once in the future, on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Two families went to a restaurant for dinner, and Bai Lu's cousin brought a jar of wine from a friend. The jar was tightly sealed, but when her cousin accidentally opened it, the jar fell to the ground and shattered.
The waiter who came to clean up fainted on the spot.
Bai Lu, her mother, grandmother, aunt, and cousin, who were all not used to strong alcohol, were all dizzy.
Bai Lu's grandfather immediately changed to another private room.
Later, they learned that the jar of wine was a gift from a friend who was the head of a winemaking family on her cousin's birthday.
Ordinary people couldn't even see it, let alone drink it.
Unexpectedly, in this seemingly backward place like Pingcheng, behind the scenes of the nightclub, there was a powerful figure.
In a place filled with dragons and snakes, it's not suitable to stay for too long. Bai Lu signaled to Yu Dongxu, who was still in a daze not far away, to come over and help Wang Hao.
Yu Dongxu was finally pulled back to reality by the clear and melodious voice of the girl. He quickly ran over to support Wang Hao.
Bai Lu, supporting Xiao Cheng, turned around.
A path was instantly cleared at the entrance that was previously blocked.
But as soon as they took a step, a gnashing sound of teeth came from behind, "Xiao Cheng!"
Xiao Cheng's cold eyes flickered, the disappeared hostility surged back into his eyes, turning fierce and brutal again.
Bai Lu tightened her grip on his hand, looking back with cold eyes at Hu Biao, who had already awakened on the ground, his face covered in blood.
"Calling 120 suits you better."
Not calling the police and not calling for an ambulance is an unwritten agreement and a matter of dignity in street fights. Life and death are determined by fate.
Calling an ambulance before the last moment is admitting that one is a loser and a coward who admits defeat.
Hu Biao, who was helped up by his little brother, became furious. He spat out a mouthful of bloodied teeth, glaring at Bai Lu maliciously, "What are you, letting a woman like you, when did a man's words become something a woman can interrupt!"
Xiao Cheng's fists clenched, veins popping on his knuckles, but his steps were stopped by Bai Lu.
Bai Lu, facing Hu Biao's fierce and evil face, looked calm and spoke lightly, "What do you want?"
Hu Biao sneered at Xiao Cheng, his cold and fierce aura returning. Bai Lu held his hand tightly, turning back to look at Hu Biao, who had already awakened, his face full of bloodstains.
"120 is what you need."
"Let me say it again, if Xiao Cheng doesn't kneel down, kowtow, and apologize to me, don't even think about leaving!"
Just now, Bai Lu didn't understand why the guy at the counter was so respectful to Xiao Cheng, not accepting any money for the good wine, and not letting Xiao Cheng and Wang Hao pay for the damages.
Now, seeing Hu Biao's arrogant and triumphant face with a reinforced force of henchmen, the nervous expressions of the guys at the counter and the security team, their retreat and hands-off attitude, everything became clear.
This was not like Xiao's Village or Xin Town; there was no need for long-term neighborly relationships.
This was the arena, where power determined everything, and whoever won was the law.
Xiao Cheng's battle just now was about establishing dominance, deterring others, and firing the first shot in opening a store in Pingcheng.
If he retreated now, it would be pulling down the altar of prestige that Xiao Cheng had just built.
The respectful attitude of the guys at the counter, the Tian Shang security team, and the various forces lurking in the dark gathering information would all discount their respect for Xiao Cheng, falling to the lowest level.
Even the forces behind the Tian Shang nightclub would start to question Xiao Cheng's position in the arena.
This would be very detrimental to Xiao Cheng's attempt to open a store in Pingcheng. Whether he could make it or not was unknown, let alone managing it.
The path to opening the store would be blocked at every turn.
