Chapter 1297: Set Up
Ye Xiao originally wanted to leave immediately, but when he stood up and was about to go, a waiter holding a tray of drinks walked up to him. Of course, Ye Xiao didn't care about this; he just wanted to get out of here and find a place to cultivate Yang Gang's Golden Body for a while.
However, just as the waiter with the drinks tray brushed past Ye Xiao, the waiter suddenly leaned slightly and bumped into Ye Xiao before falling to the ground.
The waiter fell to the ground, and the tray he was holding also fell, spilling the drinks on the ground.
"Ouch, watch where you're going!" The waiter saw the broken glasses and spilled drinks and immediately yelled at Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao found it quite strange at this moment because he didn't even know what had just happened.
"Are you talking to me?" Ye Xiao looked at the waiter.
The waiter immediately jumped up from the ground, looked at Ye Xiao, and said loudly, "Of course I'm talking to you; you knocked me down! Do you know what you broke? It's a bottle of Rémy Martin worth 1499 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao finally understood that he had encountered a scam.
However, Ye Xiao didn't intend to cause trouble today. So he just said, "I didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't bump into you. Maybe there were just too many people, and we brushed against each other."
"Oh? You're really trying to deny it?" the waiter shouted, raising his voice.
At this moment, a scar-faced man led a few burly henchmen over, and it was clear that the earlier three had also come along.
"What's going on? Why all the noise?" the scar-faced man asked, pretending to be angry as he approached.
"Scar, this guy intentionally knocked me down, and the Rémy Martin is broken," the waiter quickly said to the scar-faced man.
The scar-faced man immediately looked at the floor and then at Ye Xiao, saying, "Oh dear, it really is broken. Rémy Martin, that's quite expensive. Young man, you should be more careful when you walk. What do you plan to do about this?"
"Pay up. Such an expensive drink can't just break for nothing," the waiter immediately chimed in to fuel the situation.
Ye Xiao didn't look at the waiter, nor did he look at the scar-faced man with a peculiar tone, but instead smiled and looked at one of the men behind the scar-faced man, saying, "Didn't this brother just pick up a beauty named Song Qingrou from beside me? Why are you here again?"
As soon as Ye Xiao said this, the man next to the scar-faced man blushed slightly. Although he was burly, being called out on his weakness made him somewhat embarrassed. However, their purpose was extortion, so he immediately glared at Ye Xiao, saying thick-skinnedly, "Didn't you hear Scar talking to you? Do you dare show Scar disrespect? We'll make sure you die here today!"
Ye Xiao sighed; these guys really liked to bluff.
Ye Xiao felt somewhat helpless. He had been clever all his life but had foolishly fallen into the trap of these punks, so he said, "Okay, Scar, right? Then show your brother a way out."
The scar-faced man looked at Ye Xiao, and for some reason, he saw something particularly complex in Ye Xiao's eyes, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, since Ye Xiao asked, he couldn't possibly not answer. Besides, their plan was to rip some money off Ye Xiao!
"Since the drink was broken, just compensate according to the price. We're all out looking for fun, not trouble, right?" the scar-faced man said with a smile, but there was an evident tone of threat.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, how much is it?"
Hearing how straightforward Ye Xiao was about paying, the scar-faced man was quite pleased. He knew that most of the extorted money would end up in his own pocket.
"How much?" The scar-faced man deliberately looked at the waiter, pretending to inquire.
The waiter quickly said, "Scar, it's a total of 1499 yuan; we can't overcharge the man even a penny."
Upon hearing the waiter's words, the scar-faced man immediately laughed and said to Ye Xiao, "Brother, see how honorable this young man is? Pay up and continue having fun."
Ye Xiao secretly laughed and also planned to take out the money to give to them. Better to avoid trouble than to seek it. After all, a stranger causing trouble here would certainly draw a lot of attention. He had important matters to attend to and didn't need unnecessary attention over a small amount of money.
But just as Ye Xiao was about to take out the money, he suddenly heard the DJ's music stop and a loud, chaotic clamor!
"What the hell, I'm offering you a drink out of respect, and you dare refuse? I'll strip you in front of all these people, believe it or not!"
"You bastard, Ai Tianshi!" a lively voice shouted loudly.
"Haha, Feifei, you dare to insult me? I guess you really don't know what kind of person Ai Tianshi is."
"Ai Tianshi, I came to this gathering today, giving you face, but don't take the face I give you as capital for your shamelessness!"
At this moment, Ye Xiao, who was about to pay, raised his head hearing the name 'Cheng Feifei' but unfortunately, he couldn't see her due to the crowd.
At that moment, hearing the conversation, the scar-faced man frowned and said, "Damn, what's this? How did these two get into a quarrel?"
And Ye Xiao directly walked toward where the argument was happening.
"Where are you going?" the scar-faced man asked, looking at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said, "I'll go check out the commotion first!"
"Follow him, damn it, I need to see what's happening too!" The scar-faced man was also a bit anxious. After all, if these people got into a fight at the Tender Bar, then...
There were a lot of people in the bar, but Ye Xiao moved quickly and arrived at the scene of the incident in no time.
"Oh wow, Cheng Feifei, you dare talk to me like that? Today, I'll show you why the flowers are so red!" At that moment, a big and burly man, at least 1.85 meters tall, walked toward a girl with red-dyed hair sitting on the sofa.
Apparently, this girl was called Cheng Feifei. Although Ye Xiao couldn't see her face clearly, he noticed that Cheng Feifei had a great figure.
"Ai Tianshi, what do you want to do?" Cheng Feifei shouted loudly when she saw Ai Tianshi approaching her.
"Why so loud? Do you still expect someone to save you? Forgot to tell you, the hooligans among you, I've already taken down quite a few. There's no one on your side in this bar now." Ai Tianshi, appearing to have made careful arrangements, looked at the helpless Cheng Feifei, feeling thrilled.
