I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Is Brother Qin next to you right now? Give him the phone!"

Hu Yihui froze for a moment before mechanically handing the phone to Qin Ge. "My...my dad wants you to answer the phone."

The preceding words, coupled with this action, completely baffled the underlings.

This kid looks to be only twenty years old. How come he knows Chairman Hu, and they seem to have a pretty good relationship!

Qin Ge smiled and took the phone. "President Hu, it's been a long time. How has your mother been doing lately?"

"It really is Brother Qin!" Hu Qingshan's voice was tinged with excitement. "Thank you for your concern. Thanks to your miraculous healing skills, Brother Qin, the old man is in much better condition now. He can eat and sleep well, and he's even better than before he was sick!"

"Brother Qin, Yi Hui is a fool. If possible, spare his life and I'll teach him a lesson myself!"

"President Hu, it's not as serious as you say." Qin Ge was satisfied with Hu Qingshan's attitude. The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Qin Ge tossed the phone back to Hu Yihui, "Little Huihui, what are you planning to do now?"

Hu Yihui jolted, hurriedly catching the phone. He then struggled internally before controlling his expression and forcing a smile. "Uncle Qin, I was blind! I meant no offense. Please don't hold it against me!"

Seeing that Qin Ge remained unmoved, he glanced at the coffee table, touched his head where the blood had not yet dried, and asked, "Uncle Qin, how did that feel just now?"

"Liu Bawan was right about one thing: most people who come to bars are there to have fun, and verbal flirting is quite normal."

"Whether it's a mutually agreeable agreement or they've reached a price settlement, it's none of my business. As long as it's not outright coercion or causing trouble here, it's fine!"

"If you're still not satisfied, how about a couple more rounds?"

"Are you sure?" Qin Ge stood up, a playful smile on his face.

"boom--"

He picked up a beer bottle from the coffee table and smashed it over Hu Yihui's head without hesitation, shattering the glass.

"Don't move!" Hu Yihui shouted, and the henchmen who were about to rush forward immediately stopped and looked at each other.

He wiped the alcohol from his face, his expression unchanged. "Uncle Qin, are you satisfied now?"

"Can you forgive me now?"

"boom--"

Hu Yihui was met with yet another wine bottle.

"That's about right." Qin Ge clapped his hands. "Do you know why I hit you?"

"I don't care how you manage the bar, what your rules are, or who was right and who was wrong today."

"I'm willing to give Hu Qingshan face, but I have to get my face back too."

"You made inappropriate remarks about my girlfriend in front of me. You're slapping me in the face and rubbing my dignity into the ground."

"This is every man's bottom line. When you're assertive, no one can do anything to you, but this hatred will never dissipate!"

"Either leave a way out for others, or nip the weeds in the bud!"

"Otherwise, more and more people will come looking for revenge, and if even one of them manages to succeed, you'll be dead!"

"Let's just let this matter drop, shall we?"

"If you're not satisfied, feel free to send your men to do it. I promise I won't say a word to Hu Qingshan!"

"Alright, let's leave it at that. It was all a misunderstanding. We became friends after this fight!" Hu Yihui gritted his teeth. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go get my aunt!"

Inside the private room, Chen Xiaoxiao was filled with anxiety. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Several times she tried to rush out of the room, but was stopped by Hu Yihui's henchmen.

The door to the private room was pushed open, and several burly men appeared, startling Pan Cheng and his companions, who all retreated.

"Gentlemen, please don't kill me! I just came to a bar and have a get-together, it really has nothing to do with me!"

"Yeah, yeah, it has nothing to do with me. The wrongdoer should be held accountable; if you want to find someone, find Qin Ge or Chen Xiaoxiao!"

"And Guo Lingling! She's the one who caused all this trouble; we're innocent!"

"Shut up! It was Qin Ge who hit me, not me. I'm innocent too!"

"It was clearly your fault for insulting and hitting me first, and you're a prostitute who asked for 30,000 right off the bat. Who wouldn't be angry?"

"..."

The private room was in complete chaos, with everyone feeling insecure.

"Where's Qin Ge? What have you done to Qin Ge?"

Chen Xiaoxiao was also flustered, but she still mustered up the courage to ask questions.

"Is there any need to say more? They've obviously dealt with Qin Ge, and now they're coming after us. You guys are really the reason we're in this mess!"

A female colleague was furious. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was she being dragged into this mess?

"Um, Hui-ge's aunt, Hui-ge invites you over."

One of the underlings spoke, completely baffling everyone.

Who is Hui Ge's aunt?

"It's you!"

The younger brother pointed at Chen Xiaoxiao.

"Me?" Chen Xiaoxiao pointed to herself, looking bewildered, but she still left the private room.

Pan Cheng and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. These people were after Chen Xiaoxiao, not them. They had escaped for the time being. It was good to be alive!

"Qin Ge!" Chen Xiaoxiao saw Qin Ge and immediately sprinted towards him, crashing into his arms. "Are you alright?"

When Hu Yihui saw his men return with only Chen Xiaoxiao, his brows furrowed instantly. "Why did you only bring one person? Where are the others?"

One of the younger men said timidly, "Brother Hui, you only said you'd bring your aunt, not anyone else!"

"What you said makes a damn good point, wanna give you an award?" Hu Yihui kicked the man. "They're all my Uncle Qin's friends, what do you say, should we let them go?"

"Can't you use your brain at all, you idiot!"

"Don't misunderstand, they're not my friends!" Qin Ge gently pushed away the warm, soft body in his arms. "What Pan Cheng said before was right, I really don't know them well."

"I'm leaving! Please give my regards to Chairman Hu!"

After Qin Ge finished speaking, he took Chen Xiaoxiao's hand and left.

"Liu Bawan!!" Seeing Qin Ge and Chen Xiaoxiao disappear from sight, Hu Yihui suddenly shouted, "You got yourself into this mess, so you'd better clean it up!"

"What you do is your business, but there's a condition: don't drag unrelated people into this. If you damage the reputation of my Brilliant Bar, I'll chop you into mincemeat and feed you to the loaches!"

He couldn't figure out what the relationship was between Qin Ge and his father, and he felt resentment but had nowhere to vent it.

In her car in the bar parking lot, Chen Xiaoxiao was still dazed. "Qin Ge, what just happened?"

Why did they just let us go like that?

"Also, what do they mean by 'little uncle' and 'aunt'? You've only been gone a short while, and you already have a nephew?"

"Maybe Hu Yihui thinks it's cooler to call me that!" Qin Ge started the car. "Where do you live? I'll take you home!"

More than half an hour later, Qin Ge drove to the parking lot of the residential area where Chen Xiaoxiao lived.

Chen Xiaoxiao unbuckled her seatbelt but showed no intention of getting out of the car. She blinked, her eyes glazed over, and said, "Qin Ge, I feel a little dizzy. I think I've had too much to drink."
