Chapter 1126: This Wine Is Fake
When Xia Mingyue said this, Ye Xiao suddenly felt like he was really a bad person.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao pushed himself to the lowest point of morality.
Ye Xiao picked up his car keys, asked about the location of Sky Building, and walked directly towards the door. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing, and said seriously: "Let's take a bath."
Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing found Ye Xiao's words somewhat strange and looked at the large red dates on the table, saying: "Are there any that haven't been washed?"
"Weren't both unwashed?" Ye Xiao said.
"How could that be? You washed mine already." Xia Mingyue immediately said seriously.
Looking at Xia Mingyue's serious expression, Ye Xiao cleared his throat and said: "Sorry, I meant take a bath before sleep."
After saying this, Ye Xiao immediately dashed out the door.
While Xia Mingyue was left standing there, stunned.
"That damn Ye Xiao!" This was squeezed out from between Xia Mingyue's teeth five seconds later.
As for Ye Xiao, he quickly took the elevator downstairs, jumped into Xia Mingyue's BMW X6, and immediately left Tulip District.
Sky Building KTV!
Although it's called a KTV, it's actually a venue combining a bar and KTV. You can book a room to sing your heart out or play in the bar's hall.
Since Ye Xiao hadn't really gone out to play since arriving in Bird City, he naturally didn't know what was inside Sky Building KTV. In his imagination, Sky Building KTV was just a KTV, maybe a bit bigger.
However, when he arrived, he immediately discarded this thought.
Because Sky Building KTV was located on the same street as the Jinling District Guard Bureau and was only five hundred meters away. The little scandals of the entertainment venues were undoubtedly known by everyone, and for Sky Building KTV to be open there, clearly, it had some background support. At this time, many luxury cars were parked at the entrance of Sky Building KTV, with Mercedes and BMWs aplenty. For someone who didn't know, they might think it was a car exhibition.
After finally finding a parking spot and parking the car, Ye Xiao walked towards Sky Building KTV.
Life is unpredictable; even Ye Xiao laughed bitterly. He would never have thought that he'd come to such a place today.
"Hello, sir, how many of you?" A bartender saw Ye Xiao and immediately came over with a smile.
Ye Xiao glanced at them and said: "My friend is waiting inside!"
Upon hearing this, the bartender smiled and left politely. After entering, Ye Xiao realized that the first floor was a bar, and the KTV was on the second floor.
It was already around eleven o'clock, which, for ordinary people, was bedtime after a wash. However, for people who enjoyed nightlife, now seemed to be just the beginning, or you could say it was the climax.
The first floor was noisy, with people singing excitedly, some even dancing, and there were pole dancers.
But...
Ye Xiao couldn't bear to look directly because, damn it, why were they men?
Ye Xiao sighed; what has become of the world?
So, he prepared to go directly to the second-floor KTV, but when he was about to go, he suddenly noticed several burly men lined up in a corner.
Ye Xiao looked at them and suddenly felt impulsively curious, which must have been latent curiosity.
At this moment, the pole dance in the center was very lively; many people were admiring it, screaming occasionally. However, it was that corner where five burly men were standing, completely blocking the view around that corner.
Ye Xiao maneuvered through the crowd like a flexible carp and quickly reached the target spot.
Once he got close, he could vaguely hear an arrogant voice saying: "Damn, trying to drink for free? Hmph, I'm telling you, you must be tired of living. I'll give you three more minutes; if the money isn't delivered within three minutes, then I won't be polite. You should understand what kind of place this is."
At that moment, a woman's voice came from inside, coldly saying: "The money will be sent soon."
Ye Xiao listened; this voice was so familiar, his mind spun!
This sounds like Li Sitong's voice.
Free booze?
Ye Xiao smiled all of a sudden; Li Sitong actually does such things?
If this is really about drinking without paying, Ye Xiao doesn't actually agree with it. Everyone's just trying to make a living, drinking someone else's alcohol and not paying, what kind of logic is that? Of course, if it weren't for Li Sitong being here, Ye Xiao would have just left.
"It... it was you who tricked me." At this moment, a timid voice emerged.
"What did you say? You think I'd trick you? Are you asking for death?" At this time, the man who was shouting earlier turned to a bespectacled, refined-looking young man and said, "My alcohol isn't expensive—a bottle is 1,989 yuan, far from 2,000 yuan per bottle. You guys drank seven bottles, totaling 13,923 yuan. I'll take off 23 yuan for you; just give me 13,900 yuan and we're good."
Li Sitong was out drinking with some colleagues, whose salaries weren't high, around three to four thousand yuan. But now is a tight period; it's still over ten days until payday, and for them, who live paycheque to paycheque, this is a nightmare. They never expected this kind of unfamiliar alcohol to be so expensive, and yet not even that strong!
To be honest, Li Sitong is wealthy. She has a card with an amount that an ordinary person couldn't achieve in a lifetime. However, she can't use the card to pay, as it's from her father from the Li family in the Northern Territory from which she snuck out. If she uses this card, her father would know immediately.
At this moment, Li Sitong was somewhat frustrated, stuck over just a bit over ten thousand yuan. Coincidentally, all six of them were out-of-towners, and three of them were from other provinces like her, making them passive over this ten thousand yuan.
But to be honest, selling this kind of alcohol for 1,989 yuan a bottle isn't really expensive.
However, Li Sitong hadn't drunk today since she didn't want to come in the first place. If not for the presence of a good female friend, she wouldn't have come.
So, what Li Sitong was thinking now was nothing more than hoping for Ye Xiao to come.
"Hey, bro, this alcohol is too expensive." At this time, another young voice came out, saying, "A bottle is actually 1,989 yuan."
"Expensive? You think my alcohol is expensive? Let me tell you, this is a collector's Remy Martin, and this price is very low—it's even discounted." the man said.
"Not expensive, definitely not expensive; the price could at least double."
That was said not by Li Sitong and her group, but from behind those five burly men.
Upon hearing this, the five burly men immediately turned their heads and saw a young man standing behind them with a big grin.
And at this moment, Li Sitong also saw the one speaking—wasn't it Ye Xiao?
Ye Xiao smiled as he walked over, looking at the bottles of Remy Martin on the table. Six were genuinely empty, and one was half-full.
"This is indeed good alcohol!" Ye Xiao didn't look at anyone else's expression but walked to the table, casually picked up an empty glass, and poured half a glass to carefully savor.
At this moment, a man with a fierce face, wearing a gold chain and a small gold watch, looked Ye Xiao up and down and said, "Brother, we're dealing with some matters here. After you finish this drink, be on your way."
Ye Xiao seemed not to have heard, sipping the drink. But then, suddenly, he spat the drink back into the glass.
Hmm?
Everyone was baffled by Ye Xiao's actions.
"What do you mean, young man? If you don't give a reason today, I'm afraid everyone will be unhappy!" The fierce-faced man's voice was somewhat subdued as he looked at Ye Xiao, clearly irritated.
Because of his anger, the five burly men coldly eyed Ye Xiao, clearly ready to knock him down at their leader's word.
"Do you really want me to say it?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at the fierce-faced man.
"You better say it!"
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "This alcohol is fake."
Ye Xiao casually said that, still smiling, but once he finished, everyone present had a change in their expressions.
Especially the fierce-faced man, whose gaze sharpened like blades directed at Ye Xiao.
"Nonsense! My alcohol here is definitely genuine. Are you their accomplice or here to cause trouble? If you dare to make trouble at Sky Building, you should know the consequences."
Ye Xiao slightly smiled, casually walking to Li Sitong, and said, "Anyone drinking here probably knows a bit about alcohol. With so many people around, if I tell them there's a problem with the alcohol, regardless of truth, there would certainly be some who'd want to try it out. At that time, hehe."
Ye Xiao's words undoubtedly carried a threatening tone. After all, with so many people around who came here for fun, if there was a scene to see or noise to make, why wouldn't they?
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the fierce-faced man immediately started evaluating the situation internally.
Ye Xiao was absolutely correct; the alcohol indeed had issues.
Initially, Li Sitong's companions hadn't planned on drinking such alcohol, but it was this guy who said there was a discount on a high-end liquor today. With Li Sitong and another female present, the young men were too embarrassed to ask about the price, and thus they were duped.
They had never drunk Remy Martin before and found it slightly better than beer. But in terms of taste, it wasn't great, and there was hardly any effect. Four men drank six and a half bottles and only felt slightly dizzy; their minds were completely clear.
"Kid, you're deliberately looking for trouble!"
