A man and a woman got out of the taxi and walked towards the disco.
The security guard was momentarily taken aback by their attireâdressed like that, they came by cab?
But then he thought about the smell of alcohol on them and let it go; in such a state, how else were they supposed to come?
In Zhengyang nowadays, theyâre really strict about drunk driving.
After the man and the woman entered the disco, a waiter greeted them, showed them to their table, and then presented them with a drink menu.
A lady at a nearby table glanced over and quickly looked away: the female guestâs appearance was enough to overshadow all the other women present, not only in height and legginess but also in face and demeanorâtop-notch.
Even with large sunglasses covering her face, everyone could still tell she had a high nose bridge and skin white as snow; she was exquisitely reminiscent of a princess from a fairy tale world.
Meanwhile, the men in the room just wanted to pummel the guy in sunglasses: a beautiful flower, stuck in cow dung!
In fact, that lump of cow dung didnât consider himself as such. He picked up a bottle of beer and, while drinking, muttered under his breath, âIâm just wondering how your sister agreed to let you come with me⦠Did you used to steal her toys when you were little?â
âShe used to steal my toys, then Iâd tell on her,â Zhang Caixin covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, her eyes scanning around, âThis place in Zhengyang⦠really isnât up to par, no atmosphere at all, just like the countryside.â
Feng Jun replied indifferently, âTo those from the Magic Capital, anywhere outside of it is the countryside⦠Pretty normal, right?â
âIâm not from the Magic Capital,â Zhang Caixin picked up a straw and poked at the juice in the tall glass before her, âAnd this place doesnât smell good⦠Iâm kind of regretting coming with you.â
I didnât ask you to follow me, did I? Feng Jun lit a cigarette and took a drag, responding nonchalantly, âI think itâs alright, just smells like air freshener.â
âThe discos in the Magic Capital donât have this smell,â Zhang Caixin replied sulkily.
But despite her complaint, after a few dance tracks, she began to feel tempted, so she took off her windbreaker. Her cream-colored tight-fitting sweater revealed her graceful figure, leaving nothing to the imagination, âHow about⦠we go jump around a bit too?â
Feng Jun didnât dislike clubbing, in fact, he quite enjoyed it, but hitting the dance floor in sunglasses felt a bit too pretentious, bordering on foolish, so he shook his head, âIf you want to go, go ahead. Iâll watch your clothes for you.â
Zhang Caixin stood up and took a couple of steps, then suddenly realizing something, came back and sat down, huffing, âYouâre really no fun⦠By the way, why did my sister fire you?â
âDidnât she tell you?â Feng Jun looked at her, and upon seeing her nod, he smirked, âIf she didnât tell you, of course, I canât say.â
Zhang Caixin took a sip of her juice, looking bored, âYouâre just like my sister, living so stuffily⦠Itâs boring to just sit here. Shall I go stir up some trouble?â
At the end, her voice carried a hint of excitement.
They had agreed upon arrival to check out the depth of Wang Dynasty Disco and decided if someone caused trouble, Feng Jun would step forward as the gallant hero to see if they could draw out Liu Hong and his gang.
Thatâs why Zhang Caixin was allowed to accompany himâher exotic appeal easily stirred the interest of troublemakers.
Yet here they sat, and before the disco even hit its peak around ten, she was getting restless, itching to provoke something.
âItâs better not to,â Feng Jun wanted to wait for more people, to wander around a bit more, âGirls who start trouble are easily targeted; theyâll think youâre not serious⦠Thatâs different from being provoked by someone else.â
âYou really underestimate me,â Zhang Caixin huffed dissatisfied, pointing in a direction and snapping her fingers, âYou⦠come here!â
Seeing how adeptly she snapped her fingers, Feng Jun was stunned: could âstreet smartsâ be a genetic trait in her family?
Zhang Caixinâs voice wasnât loud, and in the deafening music, it was impossible for anyone to hear, yet in the blink of an eye, a short man approached with a cheesy smile, âGorgeous⦠what can I do for you?â
Zhang Caixin took a cigarette from Feng Junâs pack, lit it skillfully, then asked nonchalantly, âWhat are you peddling running back and forth?â
The slight man grinned, âWhat can I sell, just a little side business⦠you into ice skating, beautiful?â
âIâll pass on skating,â Zhang Caixin blew a smoke ring expertly, âGot any ecstasy?â
That smoke ring alone was enough for both Feng Jun and the short man to realize she didnât really smoke; she was just playing.
The short man didnât mind. He was used to young girls like her, thinking they knew everything, a bit rebellious, trying out some soft drugs. It was quite normal.
So he responded with a smile, âThatâs not my line of work, but if you really want some, I can fetch it for you.â
âDonât bother,â Zhang Caixin shook her head decisively, âI was just asking⦠by the way, got any DA?â
The short manâs smile vanished, and his gaze turned icy, âLady, are you⦠looking for trouble on purpose?â
âNo deal doesnât mean we canât be civil. Whatâs with the attitude?â Zhang Caixin asked casually, âCanât I just ask a question?â
The short-statured man asked emotionlessly, âIf I can find DA dope, do you want it?â
Zhang Caixin snorted coldly, âForget it, with that attitude, I donât want it!â
âEh,â the shorty laughed out of irritation, âBeauty, before you run wild, have you figured out whose turf this is?â
At this point, Feng Jun had no choice but to join in, âOh, whose turf⦠tell me?â
âThis place is under Brother Hongâs protection,â the shorty sneered, âIâd advise you two to think carefully⦠want to buy something?â
âNot buying anything,â Feng Jun pulled a set of brass knuckles from his trench coat pocket and slammed it on the table, âScram!â
He didnât say anything too extreme, to avoid seeming too deliberate, but even this behavior was a provocation.
Seeing this, the shorty gave him a nonchalant glance and, without another word, turned and left.
Feng Jun looked at Zhang Caixin and spoke indifferently, âPrepare your self-defense weapon, Iâm worried you wonât be able to call for help.â
Before they arrived, Sister Hong had made preparations for her sister. Aside from the anti-wolf spray, there was also a small stun gun.
Of course, these little things couldnât guarantee her complete safety, but Sister Hong was also aware of Feng Junâs extreme combat abilitiesâ as long as Zhang Caixin could properly utilize these items, she just needed to hold on until Feng Jun could come to her rescue.
The two sat for a full half-hour and, incredibly, no one came looking for trouble.
Zhang Caixin became a bit restless again, âHow come these people are like this, not even seeking revenge?â
Seeing her eager appearance, Feng Jun helplessly curled his lips, âActually, our countryâs public safety is still quite good.â
Currently in Huaxia, it was fairly unlikely for beauties to be harassed in discos. Drug dealers also tended to keep a low profile. When Feng Jun displayed the brass knuckles, making it clear he wasnât messing around, others would think that looking for trouble wasnât a wise choice.
Zhang Caixinâs eyes darted around, âHow about⦠I stir up some more trouble?â
âForget it,â Feng Jun refused bluntly, âBeing with you is more tiring than looking after a child!â
Deep down, he disliked her troublemaking attitudeâbeing young wasnât an excuse to act recklessly without regard for consequences, continuing like that, youâre bound to suffer a serious loss someday.
But then he thought again, if not for this kind of spirit, could you still be considered young? The most precious thing in the world is to have a childâs heart; if one could keep that forever, itâs a kind of happiness too.
After being berated by him, Zhang Caixin couldnât help but mutter under her breath, âOld man!â
Before they knew it, it was half-past ten, and the discoâs intermission time, which features a few acts and includes two slow dance songs.
Feng Jun stood up and headed to the restroom, also taking a walk around. He didnât notice anyone suspicious.
Was it time to resort to the backup plan? He walked back to his seat full of thoughts.
A bottle of champagne had appeared on the table in his absence, and Zhang Caixin, wearing sunglasses, pointed excitedly towards a table not far away, âFeng Jun, that table had a waiter send this to me⦠does that count as a provocation against you?â
There were four guests at that table, three men and one woman. The three men, all around thirty, noticed Zhang Caixin pointing at them, and two of the men raised their glasses, giving a slight smile in this direction.
Feng Jun felt that their behavior was a bit presumptuous, but it really wasnât a provocation. Everyone came to the disco to have fun, right? Encountering a beauty and sending over some drinks was just a little way to test the waters, harmless enough.
In any case, Wang Haifeng, Zhang Wei, and Li Qiang might do the same thing when they went out to have fun.
However, Feng Jun remembered that those three should be aware of his presence. He pondered for a moment, then took out his mobile phone.
Letâs move out, folks~
The three menâs information showed that they were just a small business owner, a deputy division-level official, and a white-collar worker. The woman was an accountant at a state-owned enterprise, with a somewhat ambiguous relationship with the small business ownerânothing more than that.
Feng Jun currently had well over three hundred, perhaps even four hundred energy points, but back in the real world, he was reluctant to use themâperhaps this was the cautious choice made subconsciously when oneâs future isnât all that certain.
However, since these people could potentially pose a threat to Zhang Caixin, he had to use themâ the girl might indeed be a bit spoiled, but since she was out with him, he had to ensure her safety as much as possible.
And then⦠As long as he was entering the space, picking out a few extra people wouldnât matter.
Looking at the dense sea of red dots around him, Feng Jun felt a bit troubled; there must have been three or four hundred, should he check each one?
Still⦠he was rather reluctant. He selected a small group of eight people, not far from the disco, and judging by their position, they had already left the disco and were close to a demolition areaâa bunch of people hanging around there late at night didnât seem like good news.
Then he was shockedâman, Liu Hong was actually among these eight people?
