EWSNQR Chapter 63

“Go ahead, if you can’t finish me off, it just means you’re spineless,” Lin Mu said, even flipping the middle finger at the guy.

 

It had to be said; Lin Mu had the skill to infuriate people to the point of madness. The disdainful expression on his face made even Shao Qian’s hands itch, not to mention the troublemakers.

 

“Bring it on.” The leader of the group spat on the ground and charged towards them, brandishing a knife.

 

Seeing the menacing approach, Shao Qian quickly shielded Lin Mu behind him. Before he could make a move, Lin Qing, who had been standing nearby, suddenly rushed out. In just a few punches and kicks, he brought the guy down, showcasing some impressive unarmed combat skills.

 

Lin Mu, still behind Shao Qian, was hopping and taunting, “If you’re brave enough, come and fight me. I’m standing here waiting for you.”

 

Shao Qian stood in front of Lin Mu, almost wanting to facepalm. Seriously, how did this kid provoke people? It was a surprise he hadn’t been beaten up yet.

 

“Shut up.” Apparently, even Lin Qing couldn’t tolerate it anymore. He kicked the guy who hadn’t gotten up yet. “Get up, let’s continue the fight. You wanted to show us some colors, right? The young master has seen enough black in his life; now he wants a bit of red.”

 

What were you thinking, interpreting ‘the young master’s life’ at your age? But Shao Qian felt he had misunderstood this person. Lin Qing, who always had an expressionless face, was unexpectedly skilled in trash-talking.

 

These troublemakers were here to cause problems, and they were undoubtedly scared off by Lin Qing’s actions. The ones at the entrance charged towards Lin Qing.

 

Shao Qian couldn’t just stand there watching. He instructed Lin Mu to hide aside and rolled up his sleeves, rushing into the fray.

 

After driving away the troublemakers, Shao Qian sat on the steps, looking at the mess around and sighed. The bar had just opened, and there were no customers yet, but a lot of damage had been done due to the fight.

 

“Boss.” Lin Qing stood in front of Shao Qian, looking somewhat distressed. “I messed things up…”

 

“Those people were troublemakers to begin with,” Shao Qian stood up, patting Lin Qing’s head with a smile. “We don’t need so many things right now; it’s just for show.”

 

Lin Qing nodded, but he couldn’t help but think that even if put a table, no one else would come to drink anyway.

 

However, it seems my boss has offended a lot of people. Didn’t Ge find out about it when he checked? Or did he know and just didn’t care?

 

Lin Qing was confused about the current situation. Although they could never guess what their Ge was thinking, he seemed to care about him, but now they let others bully him. What kind of situation is this?

 

Lin Mu, however, was less thoughtful. He reluctantly put down the mop and bucket, planning to clean up. It wouldn’t sound good if word got out that the bar was trashed on its opening day.

 

“No need to clean up.” Shao Qian shook his head, smiling. “You guys can go off duty for today. Just come back on time tomorrow.”

 

Lin Mu and Lin Qing exchanged glances. How could they leave such a mess unattended? If the boss cleaned up alone, he’d probably be at it until midnight.

 

“Be obedient,” Shao Qian spoke gently, but his determination was clear.

 

Lin Mu put the mop back in its place with some reluctance and said, “Boss, take care.”

 

After sending the Lin brothers away and closing the bar’s door, Shao Qian looked at the almost ruined place in front of him and sighed. After all the hard work, it had been destroyed in a moment, giving him a sense of a sudden setback.

 

Just as Shao Qian was about to start cleaning up, the bar’s door was pushed open again. The person seemed to have run all the way, as Shao Qian hadn’t even turned around before hearing the heavy panting.

 

“Sorry, something happened today, so…” we’re not open. Shao Qian didn’t finish the sentence. When he turned around, he saw a tall man standing at the door. The way the man looked at him was so familiar that it almost made him want to cry.

 

At this moment, he even felt that no matter where he was, this person could always find him.

 

“I, I’m late.” Trying to catch his breath, Yu Yang apologized. When he learned that someone was causing trouble for this person, he didn’t intervene, thinking that he could show up when those guys arrived, leaving a good impression on this person.

 

However, things didn’t go as planned. There was an important matter that came up suddenly, and by the time he finished dealing with it, it was already around eight in the evening. At this time, the bar should have already opened. In a rush, he had his subordinates drive him over, but they encountered a traffic accident on the main road, causing a major road closure, and other routes were congested.

 

Frustrated by the half-hour delay, Yu Yang became increasingly impatient as he watched the long line of cars in front of him. Impulsively, he opened the car door and got out. Locking onto the direction of the bar, he ran all the way.

 

Hence, he had just pushed open the door of the bar and was still panting heavily. Unfortunately, he had missed the opening of the bar, and it seemed there was trouble too.

 

“It’s okay.” Shao Qian stared at the man without blinking. “As long as you’re here, it’s good.”

 

As long as you’re here, it’s good. No matter how late you come, as long as I know, it’s good that you can always find me.

 

Yu Yang inserted his right hand into his pocket and walked up to Shao Qian. He pulled the corners of his mouth into a smiling expression and said, “I’m Yu Yang, 27 years old, single, and my hobby is none.”

 

Shao Qian was left dumbfounded by this sudden introduction. He had a feeling that something strange might be starting again in this lifetime.

 

“You haven’t introduced yourself yet,” Yu Yang said, feeling his face stiffening. He had worked so hard to put on a smile, but there was no reaction from Xu An.

 

“I’m Xu An, 25 years old, single, and as for hobbies…” Shao Qian deliberately paused, looking at the man with a face frozen in a forced smile. With a chuckle, he continued, “Hobbies include men.”

 

The last three words were said with a teasing tone, creating ripples in the air. Yu Yang found it somewhat ticklish to his ears.

 

Yu Yang’s ears turned slightly red. This person was quite enticing. Perhaps it was better not to let people out.

 

“Aren’t you going to shake hands with me?” Shao Qian extended his left hand, winking. “It’s a friendly gesture.”

 

Yu Yang stared at the outstretched left hand. These hands were indeed beautiful – the fair palm with distinct knuckles. Although a man’s fingers weren’t considered slender, Yu Yang felt that these were the most beautiful hands he had ever seen.

 

Shao Qian’s hand remained suspended for a while, and seeing no response, he shook it in front of Yu Yang. Eventually, his hand was grabbed.

 

Xu An took meticulous care of his hands, even more so than a woman. Therefore, the skin on his hands was smooth and delicate. Once Yu Yang held them, he couldn’t bear to let go. His paws tightly clasped Xu An’s hand. “Your hands are really beautiful.”

 

Shao Qian casually replied, “Yours are pretty good too.” After saying this, he felt a bit tangled. He seemed to have unintentionally activated his ‘flirting’ mode.

 

Yu Yang stood there holding his hand, not knowing what to say or do in this situation. He wished he could tear apart that book on love strategies. It was so wrong; it even mentioned kabedon. What if there’s no wall? How do you kabedon?

 

“Damn, it’s right here.” Just as the two were ‘gazing deeply into each other’s eyes,’ an unsavory voice interrupted.

 

Yu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of the purpose of these people, he must first thank them.

 

The man with a face beaten black and blue glared at Shao Qian. “This bastard not only refuses to pay protection money but also dares to lay hands on our brothers. He’s disrespecting Chang-ge.”

 

The leader, Chang-ge, felt that the man with his back turned to them looked somewhat familiar, but he didn’t pay much attention. After all, there were many people with similar builds.

 

“Kid, do you know who’s supporting this place? Dare to hit my brothers. What do you say? Want me to break that hand?” Chang-ge sneered, “Or maybe both hands?”

 

Hearing these words, Yu Yang couldn’t help but laugh. Since he took over R City a month and a half ago, no one had dared to speak so arrogantly in front of him. Today, this Chang-ge guy really opened his eyes.

 

However, it was a good opportunity. Earlier, he didn’t have time to save someone, feeling a bit regretful. Yet, now these troublemakers showed up. It was like a heaven-sent chance. If he didn’t make good use of it, he would be letting himself down.
