Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 19 Li Wu, Come Here

Li Wu had a bad feeling in her heart.

really.

The next second, she was pushed into the private room.

Jiang Wang looked at her, took out his wallet, and casually pulled out a few cards, including a black card. Without even looking at them, he smashed them directly at Li Wu's feet, like countless sharp blades flying out.

His deep, husky voice was filled with intense interest.

"You won't only drink if it costs 500,000 per glass? Tonight, you can drink your fill."

……

The wine was smashed and the people were kicked out that day. Logically, Jiang Wang should have considered the matter closed.

But Jiang Wang, who had seen countless beauties, was actually reluctant to admit that Li Wu's face and figure still had a clear image in his mind.

He had never been rejected like that before.

He used money, something he had always taken for granted since childhood.

He can give as much as he wants.

But that depends on his mood.

Li Wu stood there alone, with two tall bodyguards in black blocking the doorway behind her, as if to prevent her from running out.

She looked at Jiang Wang, who was sitting there lazily.

I felt a strange sense of disgust.

But she also knew that he was a wealthy person she couldn't afford to offend.

Without Jiang Wang giving any further instructions, those with good sense had already had the waiters fill a whole row of wine bottles and neatly arrange them in front of Li Wu.

The amber-colored liquor swirls in the clear glass, creating layers of shifting light and shadow that are both ethereal and mesmerizing.

It tempts people to fall into depravity.

It's also incredibly addictive.

But Li Wu stood there, motionless for a long time.

"What? You're not willing to drink even for 500,000? Then how about 1 million?"

Jiang Wang sat there lazily, his casual gaze sweeping over Li Wu's face before he spoke with interest.

Li Wu's face gradually turned pale.

Her skin was already fair, but now it was so fair it was almost translucent.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched unconsciously, her neatly trimmed nails digging into her palms, causing a momentary sharp pain. She paused, then released her grip, her slender, pale fingers gleaming with a delicate, ethereal light.

"I don't drink."

After a few seconds of silence, Li Wu spoke calmly.

She looked up and met Jiang Wang's calm and collected gaze.

"If you feel that I offended you by not drinking that night, I can apologize."

Compared to being able to leave this place, a verbal apology meant nothing to Li Wu.

but.

Even though Li Wu had lowered her stance, Jiang Wang was still not prepared to let her go.

Jiang Wang slightly raised his chin, gesturing to the row of strong liquors placed on the jade tea table, his nonchalant voice extremely cold.

"After you finish drinking, I'll consider it an apology from you."

"..."

Li Wu's hands, hanging at her sides, clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deeper into her palms.

After drinking this, she doesn't even know if she'll see the sun rise tomorrow.

That's because she didn't drink the drinks he "invited" her to that night.

Li Wu knew these wealthy young men were good at playing tricks on people. But she never expected them to be so vengeful.

What a waste of such a good-looking face.

Li Wu shook her head. "No, I don't drink."

"Who gave you the right to say no?"

Jiang Wang looked at her lazily, his casual tone revealing a cold indifference that completely disregarded the lives of others, "You can learn today, it just so happens."

"If you really don't know how, we have someone here who can help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young men next to him joined in the commotion.

"It's good for you to practice if you can't drink. Maybe after today you'll be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk..."

As they spoke, someone walked towards Li Wu, seemingly genuinely intending to "help" her.

Li Wu felt a surge of malice, but her face remained expressionless.

As the person approached, Li Wu took her phone out of her pocket.

The message above shows that 110 is currently in a busy call.

The man suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with shock and astonishment as he looked at Li Wu.

After reacting.

He instinctively turned around to look at Jiang Wang, the person of the highest status there, "Brother Wang, she, she called the police..."

"...Yes, that's right. I hope you can come quickly. The room number is..."

In front of them, Li Wu clearly stated the address, word by word.

Jiang Wang was slightly taken aback by her actions, then curled his lips into a smile, a clear hint of amusement flashing in his dark eyes.

It seems he encountered something really interesting.

Jiang Wang leaned back slightly, his well-defined abdominal muscles faintly visible beneath his satin-like black shirt, exuding a languid yet sexy aura.

Seemingly finding it genuinely amusing, Jiang Wang spoke again, his deep, casual voice tinged with a faint smile, "Tell them not to rush, to take their time."

"I have plenty of time to waste with you." Hearing Jiang Wang say this, the others' initial worry about Li Wu actually calling the police vanished without a trace.

I forgot about it for a moment.

Jiang Wang is backed not only by the Jiang family, one of the most powerful and wealthy families in Jiangbei, but also by the patriarch of the Jiang family, who holds a very influential position in Beijing.

really.

The police came soon.

There were two people. One of them looked like he hadn't been with the police station long; he was quite young.

After coming in.

The two police officers looked around the private room, and their gazes naturally fell on Li Wu, who looked the most delicate in the middle, and asked.

"Did you call the police?"

Seeing them arrive, the tension in Li Wu's heart eased slightly.

She nodded and then recounted the whole story.

Then, looking at Jiang Wang, who was still sitting lazily on the sofa, she said, "It was him who forced people to drink and wouldn't let me leave."

The two police officers followed Li Wu's gaze and looked at Jiang Wang.

The younger man was about to reprimand him when the older man grabbed his arm and pulled him behind him.

The older man looked over and met Jiang Wang's leisurely gaze.

There was not the slightest fear.

They didn't even... take it seriously.

The older man felt a slight wariness and tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

"Jiang Wang".

Jiang Wang's expression was nonchalant as he spoke indifferently.

His sitting posture was also lazy and casual, without any proper posture.

Surname Jiang?

A subtle change had already occurred in the older man's expression. But to confirm his suspicions, he pressed on, "...The Jiang family?"

Before Jiang Wang could even speak, someone nearby had already answered with a smile.

"Which Jiang family could possibly be in Beijing?"

That's it.

The older generation understands this perfectly.

He asked Li Wu to take notes and then questioned the others in the private room. They all laughed and said it was just friends getting together for a few drinks, and there was no coercion involved.

Since they said that, we naturally believe them.

So much so that when Li Wu finally said she wanted to leave with the two police officers, the young men next to her still smiled and interrupted, saying that they would personally take Li Wu home later and that they shouldn't worry.

After the two left.

The private room fell silent.

Li Wu's face was so pale it was unbearable to look at.

Her gaze fell randomly on a certain spot, but without any real focus.

There was nothing in my eyes.

Her hands, hanging limply at her sides, were weak and powerless, with her slender, fair fingertips trembling slightly.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Wang slightly curled his lips and smiled.

He got up from the sofa casually.

He wore a loose, satin-like black shirt, the top two buttons undone and the hem unbuttoned.

A beautiful face is also extremely pleasing to the eye.

If you ignore his actions, he seems like a free-spirited and unruly monster.

Jiang Wang walked slowly and deliberately to Li Wu. His dark eyes stared at her pale, bloodless face for a long while.

With a casual tone and a faint smile, he asked from a superior position.

"Still not going to drink?"

The dim lighting in the private room fell on Li Wu's delicate, pale face.

Half of her body seemed to be shrouded in shadow. Drowsy and soft, it made her already slender body look even thinner and more fragile than before.

Sometimes power can cover everything. If it can't, then the power isn't great enough.

Li Wu had understood this principle before, but she had never felt it so clearly before.

Her neatly trimmed nails dug deep into her palms without her realizing it. But when waves of pain surged up, she felt almost nothing.

There was silence for quite a while.

Just when Jiang Wang was about to lose patience...

Li Wu looked up at Jiang Wang, her eyes calm and composed, and said, "You keep your word. I'll finish my drink, and you can't make things difficult for me again."

"of course."

Jiang Wang casually responded.

There's nothing that can't be calculated.

After receiving a definite answer, Li Wu glanced at him and then loosened her tightly clenched hands.

It quieted down.

Li Wu bent down, her trembling hand reaching for the first glass of the row of strong liquors—

"Li Wu, come here."

A clear and steady voice suddenly rang out at the door.
