Chapter 255: Bar
Long Na threw herself into Zhu Bufan's arms and broke down crying without any regards.
During this time, she has been physically and mentally exhausted. As the letter said, she is fully aware of the changes in the Dragon Gang and her father's change but she is powerless to stop these series of changes.
So she felt so helpless, distressed, and guilty.
"Cry..."
Zhu Bufan gently patted Long Na's back.
Zhu Bufan knew that right now, no words would be any help to Long Na, the only thing that could help her was to let her cry thoroughly and release all the emotions inside her.
Nobody knows how much time had passed when Long Na finally stopped crying. By then, Zhu Bufan's T-shirt was thoroughly soaked with tears.
Leaving Zhu Bufan's embrace, Long Na felt somewhat embarrassed and dared not meet Zhu Bufan's eyes:
"Zhu Bufan, I am sorry, I..."
"It's okay, Nana..." Zhu Bufan said nonchalantly.
After Long Na uttered a sentence, she lowered her head and remained silent, quietly looking at the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Bufan suggested leaving the coffee shop, and they casually entered a clothing store where he bought a new T-shirt to change into.
Upon changing clothes and stepping out of the store, Long Na asked:
"Zhu Bufan, can you take me to a bar?"
Hearing Long Na wanted to go to a bar, Zhu Bufan was slightly surprised. Looking at her eerily calm face, Zhu Bufan still reflexively asked, "You want to drink?"
"Yes!" Long Na nodded indifferently.
"Okay..."
In Suzhou City, Zhu Bufan was not familiar, but since Long Na suggested, he decided to take her to a bar, as everyone tends to look for something to vent when they are upset - for men, it's often alcohol and cigarettes; women are no exception.
He waved for a taxi and told the driver, "Go to the nearest bar!"
The taxi driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, looked somewhat honest.
He glanced at Zhu Bufan and Long Na, noticing her tear-reddened eyes, a trace of concern appeared on his face, and finally, he dropped them off at a bar called 'Release Bar'!
Release Bar, truly fitting for Long Na's current mood. Long Na outright saying she wanted to drink at the bar, Zhu Bufan knew she just wanted to numb herself with alcohol.
Upon entering the bar, Long Na immediately ordered a dozen beers and a bottle of foreign liquor, then started drinking all by herself.
The bar was lively, filled with all kinds of people.
Zhu Bufan and Long Na found a corner to sit opposite each other.
Zhu Bufan left Long Na alone, knowing that stopping her right now was not a good choice. He could only light a cigarette beside her.
"Nana, I'm going to the restroom," Zhu Bufan helplessly said to the determinedly drinking Long Na.
"Okay..."
Zhu Bufan stood up and left.
"Hey! Little girl, you seem upset! How about a drink with me, eh?" A blond guy came over to where Long Na was sitting, eyeing her with a lustful gaze.
"Get lost..." Long Na snapped unapologetically.
"Yo! I didn't realize what a fiery girl you are! I like it..." The blond chuckled. Then he reached out to touch Long Na's hand.
"Smash..." A beer bottle hit the blond's head accurately.
"Damn it, you dare to hit me, you're asking for trouble!" The blond who was hit by the beer bottle on his head immediately touched his head and started yelling aggressively.
"Get lost..."
"Damn..." The blond cursed and lunged at Long Na, ready to slap her.
However, before his hand could reach Long Na's face, it was suddenly grabbed by another hand.
"Kid, who the fuck are you to interfere with my business, are you tired of living!" The blond saw someone intervening and immediately glared fiercely.
The blond started yelling even more when he saw someone blocking him. Accompanied by his yelling, eight thugs quickly surrounded them.
"Hehe..." Zhu Bufan showed an innocent smile.
"Hehe my ass, let go, do you hear?" Seeing his buddies joining, the blond was even more emboldened and yelled louder.
At that moment, Long Na saw the approaching thugs and began to worry and regret her impulsiveness. The saying goes that one can hardly fight against multiple fists, and now there were eighteen fists. While she trusted Zhu Bufan, she couldn`t help but feel concerned.
"Zhu Bufan, I'm sorry, just let him go! We'll leave," Long Na said.
Long Na said this not because she was scared for herself, but because she was worried for Zhu Bufan.
"Did you hear that, kid, let go of me," the blond shouted.
The blond was not without struggle, but Zhu Bufan held his hand firmly like a large clamp, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free from Zhu Bufan's grip.
"Don't worry, Nana, it's okay." Zhu Bufan smiled at Long Na.
"Okay? Haha... Kid, I think I won't be able to calm down today unless I break both your legs." Yellow Hair said.
"Is that so?" Zhu Bufan's gaze turned icy.
Seeing the coldness in Zhu Bufan's eyes, Yellow Hair suddenly felt agitated, and an inexplicable fear surged within him. He couldn't understand why he felt this fear, but seeing the eight brothers surrounding him, he immediately felt confident again, completely dispelling the fear and becoming utterly arrogant.
"Kid, are you fucking going to let go of me?" Yellow Hair roared at Zhu Bufan.
"Let go of you? Alright then, I'll just let you go!" Zhu Bufan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
The next moment, a casual smile appeared on Zhu Bufan's face.
Seeing this smile, Yellow Hair's heart stirred, and he immediately thought it was bad, indeed...
"Crack..." a sound.
"Ah..." a scream akin to slaughtering a pig resounded throughout the entire bar.
"You... you..." Yellow Hair couldn't believe that Zhu Bufan had actually crushed his hand.
Suddenly, Yellow Hair felt pain and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Ah, why are you kneeling to me? This makes me so embarrassed!" Seeing Yellow Hair kneeling before him, Zhu Bufan immediately adopted a surprised expression and said.
"I kneel your fucking mother, if I weren't in such pain, why would I kneel?" Yellow Hair's face turned livid, his heart filled with immense frustration. He, Brother Yellow Hair, was a well-known thug around here, always having others kneel to him, never expecting to be the one kneeling.
Thus, Yellow Hair was thoroughly enraged.
At this moment, those eight thugs gathered around.
"Brother Yellow Hair, are you alright?" the eight thugs asked simultaneously.
One of the thugs yelled at Zhu Bufan: "Kid, you're dead, you know? You're absolutely dead for hitting our Brother Yellow Hair."
However, all Zhu Bufan responded with was an innocuous smile.
"Nothing's wrong, fuck your tits! Hit him for me, beat him to death." Yellow Hair yelled at his brothers.
Immediately, those eight thugs picked up the 'tools' at hand.
Beer bottles, stools, bottles of foreign liquor...
And they went straight for Zhu Bufan.
Seeing the eight thugs rushing towards him, Zhu Bufan still wore that harmless smile.
"Long Na, step back a bit..."
The patrons in the bar watching this scene instantly showed interested expressions.
"Who is this kid? Doesn't he know Brother Yellow Hair is a famous thug around here?" a man started talking.
"Yeah! I haven't seen him here before! Could this be his first time here?" another man added.
"Ah, what a shame, such a handsome guy is going to get ruined, alas!" a somewhat coquettish woman immediately expressed her lament.
"Yeah! I was thinking about hitting on him! Now it seems, this handsome guy is going to have his limbs broken, alas! What a pity!" a busty girl standing next to the coquettish woman also showed compassion towards Zhu Bufan.
Many around commented, but no one dared to speak up for Zhu Bufan.
"What are you doing? Don't you know fighting isn't allowed in the bar?" at this time, a voice called out.
Then a man in a server's outfit approached.
As he came over, he said to Yellow Hair.
"Scram..." By this time, Yellow Hair had crawled up and was sitting on a stool. Seeing someone come out to stop him, his face immediately showed ferocity, and he roared at the server.
The server, seeing the other party was a thug not afraid of the bar's influence, instantly backed off.
The eight thugs stopped at the server's yell, but Yellow Hair, seeing this, immediately got displeased and yelled again: "What are you doing! Why aren't you hitting him!"
Hearing Yellow Hair's roar again, the eight thugs shuddered and immediately swung the tools they had picked up towards Zhu Bufan.
Watching those fiercely evil eight thugs charging at him, Zhu Bufan didn't move at all.
"Ah! Damn, this handsome guy got scared, alas..." The coquettish woman, seeing the young thugs starting to strike Zhu Bufan and seeing him not reacting, immediately thought that Zhu Bufan was scared stiff.
"Yeah! What a pity! Such a handsome man, what would it feel like to have a good time with him tonight!" the busty girl spoke again, her face filled with lewd imaginings.
"Cut it out! You just keep thinking dirty thoughts! Didn't you see that the handsome guy is done for?" the coquettish woman instantly looked down on her friend in disdain, showing a mocking expression.
"Ah, yes! What a pity..." the busty girl sighed.
A man standing next to the two women heard the way these women were talking and his body shuddered.
"Ladies, how about me? I'm great in bed, at least better than some kids!" the man grinned, showing his yellow teeth.
The two women turned their heads, and at the same time, they both said one word: "Scram..."
The man instantly backed off, his head hung low, originally thinking he could hook up with women, even two, possibly for a threesome. But when the women flatly rejected him, he inwardly cursed, blaming his parents for making him look like this. If he were more handsome, he could have enjoyed a threesome tonight, truly.
