Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 42 The Bright Moon of the East
"Ah—!" The intense pain caused the blond-haired man to let out a shrill scream, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.
Before he could react, Luo Lingtian flipped his wrist and twisted Huang Mao's arm behind his back. Then he kicked Huang Mao in the back of the knee. With a "thud," Huang Mao fell to his knees, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud. He grimaced in pain, all his arrogance gone.
After dealing with the yellow-haired guy, the green-haired guy's mop swept over. Luo Lingtian's eyes turned cold, and he lightly lifted his left foot, precisely stepping on the middle of the mop handle.
Green Hair felt a sudden weight on his hand, as if the mop handle was nailed to the ground. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it an inch. He looked at Luo Lingtian in shock, not understanding how this seemingly ordinary young man could have such great strength.
Luo Lingtian was too lazy to waste words with him. He put a little pressure on his foot, and with a "crack", the solid wood mop handle was broken. Then, he kicked out and hit the thug in the chest.
Green Hair was struck as if by a heavy hammer; his body flew backward instantly, crashing hard into the wall behind him before slowly sliding to the ground, clutching his chest and gasping for breath, unable to get up again.
The last remaining bald man rushed to Luo Lingtian's side, only to see his two accomplices instantly taken care of. He turned pale with fright, stopped abruptly, and his eyes were filled with terror. He dared not take another step forward.
Luo Lingtian glanced at him, his eyes as cold as knives. The bald man felt a chill run from his feet to the top of his head, his legs went weak, and he knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy: "Big brother, I was wrong, I'll never dare to do it again, please forgive me!"
Luo Lingtian ignored him and kicked him aside. The bald man rolled several meters away like a ball and curled up on the ground, too scared to move.
The entire fight lasted only a dozen seconds. Luo Lingtian completely dealt with the three arrogant thugs cleanly and efficiently, without any hesitation.
After dealing with the three thugs, Luo Lingtian turned around and looked at the woman. By this time, the woman had straightened her clothes, and the fear on her face gradually faded, replaced by gratitude and respect.
She walked up to Luo Lingtian, bowed slightly, and said in a soft but trembling voice, "Thank you for saving me, sir. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."
"It was nothing," Luo Lingtian waved his hand, his tone indifferent. "Mingyue Bar has its own rules. They caused trouble here and deserve to be punished."
The woman raised her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with clear, spring-like eyes. She looked at Luo Lingtian with gratitude and said, "My name is Dongfang Mingyue. May I ask your honorable name, sir? I will remember your kindness today and repay you if I have the opportunity in the future."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingtian's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded: "Luo Lingtian, there's no need for repayment. It's good that you're alright. It's not safe to stay here any longer. Let me see you out."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded, her gratitude deepening, and softly replied, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Luo."
Despite being called an escort, it was merely a short walk from the restroom entrance to the corridor.
As one of the top high-end entertainment venues in Shanghai, Mingyue Bar has always had a tight security system. High-definition surveillance cameras are installed every three meters in the second-floor corridor alone, with the lenses providing all-round coverage without blind spots.
In this environment of comprehensive surveillance, if anyone dares to harbor malicious thoughts of coercing others, there is absolutely no need for Luo Lingtian to intervene.
According to industry data, thanks to this security system and the security patrols that take place every minute, the Mingyue Bar has had a serious conflict rate of less than 0.01% in the past three years. In the event of any abnormal situation, security personnel can arrive at the scene within 90 seconds to handle the situation.
As for why no security guards were found patrolling near the second-floor restroom today, Luo Lingtian had some guesses after learning Dongfang Mingyue's name.
After a brief farewell, with the gratitude still lingering in Dongfang Mingyue's eyes, Luo Lingtian turned and walked towards the private room.
Although the round trip involved a minor incident, it only took five or six minutes if you timed it. Because of this, when he pushed open the door and returned to the private room, Qin Yu and the others were chatting around the coffee table, and the wine on the table had only been opened halfway. No one noticed the incident that happened during his short absence.
Just as Luo Lingtian sat down and picked up his wine glass, four burly men in black security uniforms silently arrived near the second-floor restroom.
They moved swiftly and in perfect unison. One of them checked the traces at the scene first, while the other three carefully dragged up the three thugs who had been injured by Luo Lingtian. They didn't make a single unnecessary sound throughout the process, and even the dragging movements were deliberately gentle to avoid disturbing the guests in the surrounding private rooms.
In a short while, the scene was restored to cleanliness, as if the conflict had never happened.
The atmosphere inside the CEO's office on the top floor of Mingyue Bar was completely different from the lively atmosphere downstairs.
The woman who had looked pitiful and terrified in the restroom was now dressed in a well-tailored black suit and sat dignifiedly in a large boss's chair, her fingertips lightly tapping the smooth mahogany tabletop.
An assistant in a gray suit stood in front of her, his posture respectful yet composed.
"Those three people did a satisfactory job." The woman's voice lost its previous softness and carried an unquestionable sense of command. "But from now on, don't let them appear in Haishi or any city around Haishi again. Have medical staff treat their injuries properly, and give each of them a severance package, enough for them to start over elsewhere. Make sure they stay completely away from this area."
"Understood, boss." The assistant nodded expressionlessly, quickly jotting down the instructions in his notebook without asking any unnecessary questions. He knew his boss's style well; he only needed to execute the instructions without needing to investigate the reasons behind them.
"Alright, go to the storeroom and get a few bottles of '82 Lafite." The woman waved her hand, her tone softening, indicating that her assistant could leave.
The assistant withdrew upon hearing this, and the office door closed gently, shutting out all outside noise. Dongfang Mingyue's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and a meaningful smile slowly curved her lips as she murmured, "Although the process of meeting him in my previous life deviated slightly, the result is ultimately the same, so it doesn't matter... In the end, it's all Qin Qingcheng's fault. If it weren't for her, my bond with him should have developed naturally."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to tidy the stray hairs on her forehead, quickly adjusting her emotions. The sternness in her eyes faded, replaced by a touch of just the right amount of gentleness and liveliness.
She knew perfectly well that now was the perfect time to deepen her relationship with Luo Lingtian. A hero rescuing a damsel in distress is always an excellent opportunity to bring men and women closer, and it is only natural for a beauty to fall for a hero.
Unless the hero is truly ugly, he will always have a place in the hearts of beautiful women.
Of course, if a hero is unlucky and encounters a treacherous and scheming beauty, then he can only accept his misfortune. But Dongfang Mingyue is clearly not the latter.
"Knock knock knock—"
Before long, Dongfang Mingyue arrived at the door of the private room where Luo Lingtian and the others were, carrying an exquisite wooden wine box. She raised her slender hand and gently knocked on the solid wood door of the room with her fingertips. The force was just right, neither abrupt nor obtrusive, but clearly conveying the signal of knocking.
"Who?"
Inside the private room, Qin Yu was excitedly recounting his extraordinary adventures during his early training days, and everyone was listening with great interest, occasionally letting out a gasp of amazement. This sudden knock on the door abruptly interrupted Qin Yu's narration, and the room instantly fell silent as everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"Did anyone order anything else?" Qin Yu asked first, his gaze sweeping over the people present.
Everyone shook their heads, and Goldman Sachs said directly, "We ordered drinks and snacks when we came in, and we didn't order any more afterwards." As he spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Luo Lingtian, since Luo Lingtian was the only one who left the private room after entering.
"Boss, did you order something else when you went out just now?" Wang Hao asked, leaning closer.
"No?" Luo Lingtian was slightly taken aback, then the incident in the restroom flashed through his mind, and he instantly understood. He said, "I just went to the restroom, but you're probably here to see me. Open the door."
The group immediately became curious and sat up straight. Wang Hao, who was closest to the door, first called out "Wait a moment" to the outside, then got up and quickly walked to the door and unlocked it.
When Wang Hao saw a beautiful woman standing outside the door, with delicate features, a gentle temperament, and carrying an exquisite wine box, he was first stunned. Then he couldn't help but imagine that his boss had met such a beautiful woman outside.
"Who are you looking for?" Although Luo Lingtian had already said that he might be looking for him, Wang Hao still asked again out of politeness.
"Hello, I am Dongfang Mingyue." The woman smiled brightly, like the warm spring sun, and her voice was soft and pleasant. "Is Luo Lingtian here? I've come to thank him."
As she spoke, Dongfang Mingyue's gaze swept over Wang Hao's face imperceptibly, a ripple of emotion stirring within her, yet she showed no sign of it on her face.
As Luo Lingtian's wife in her previous life, she was naturally very familiar with the core high-ranking members of the Heavenly God Palace. However, according to the timeline of her previous life, Wang Hao should still be overseas at this time and would not return to Haishi for another six months.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to search for Luo Lingtian, she subtly scanned the inside of the private room. What she saw shocked her even more. Good heavens, the changes in this life were far greater than she had expected!
Besides Goldman Sachs, the other core executives of the Temple of Gods are all here. Oh, right, it seems Luo Yuntian is missing.
However, although Luo Yuntian also came from the Heavenly God Palace, he was not considered a core member of the upper echelons. After he returned to the Luo family in Hai City, because of his childhood experience of being abducted, the Luo family couple doted on him and cared about him in almost every way, which made it impossible for him to spare much time to participate in the core missions of the Heavenly God Palace.
Many times, when he wanted to go out and gain experience, he had to rely on Luo Lingtian to help him find an excuse to persuade the Luo family couple.
