Chapter 63: Young Master Liu Brushes Wenwen's Teeth

Inside the private room at this moment, Wang Feng was already dead drunk, sprawled across the table and sleeping soundly.

Beside him, Wenwen was brushing her teeth.

Good grief... This... Uh...

Awesome! Absolutely awesome! Incredible!

To quote Brother Zhen, can you handle this?

Young Master Liu spotted Li Xingyue at this point, grinned, and said, "Brother Dahuang, you're back."

Li Xingyue covered his forehead, utterly speechless.

"I have to say, Young Master Liu, you really know how to play..."

Wenwen looked at Li Xingyue with a shy expression.

"Brother Dahuang, can I..."

"Stop! Halt! There's really no need for that!"

Li Xingyue had no desire to stay a second longer because the room reeked terribly.

"Blech~!"

"What's wrong, Brother Dahuang?"

Young Master Liu looked at Li Xingyue with a concerned expression.

"Uh, it's nothing. Drank a bit too much. You carry on, I'll step outside for a moment."

With that, Li Xingyue held his breath and hurriedly fled the private room, only then daring to take deep breaths of fresh air.

"Captain Li, thank you for today. You should leave quickly, it's too dangerous here!"

Though Huang Qian was still far from safe herself, she was already worrying about Li Xingyue's safety.

A surge of genuine warmth welled up in Li Xingyue's heart. When he first met Huang Qian, he didn't know her well, only feeling that she was a bright and lively girl.

Later, after undertaking a few missions together, he realized she had a very kind heart. Moreover, through his previous observations, he had a hunch that Liu San held romantic feelings for Huang Qian.

It was just that Liu San hid it deeply; he estimated that probably only he had figured it out.

He had originally intended to find an opportunity to play matchmaker for the two of them, but unexpectedly, he went into secluded training soon after, and lost contact with Huang Ya, Liu San, and the others.

"You don't need to worry about me. We're friends after all, how could I just walk away now!"

Huang Qian forced a smile, though the shadow of sorrow remained heavy on her face.

She had originally only planned to come out for a meal and catch up with friends today, never expecting to run into such a situation.

Of course, why the location was chosen at the roast duck restaurant in District C was something perhaps even she didn't know; she had simply been wandering around and ended up here.

This wasn't the first time she had done this.

Ever since she lost contact with Liu San, Huang Ya, and the others a few months ago, she would unconsciously find herself coming here to sit and grab a bite to eat.

"By the way, Captain Li, um... why did Huang Ya and the others stop coming to the Corpse Hunter Branch to turn in their missions?"

"And you haven't shown up for more than half a year either. Did something happen? Or could it be that they went to one of the other cities?"

"Liu... Liu San and the others are doing well now, right?"

Huang Qian fired off a series of questions.

Yet Li Xingyue had no way of answering a single one of them.

"Haven't you been in touch with Huang Ya and the others either?"

"How long has it been?"

Huang Qian looked astonished. "What, you don't know either? The last time we got in touch was about five months ago."

Good grief!

Things were looking a bit ominous!

He had originally assumed that once they reached District B, their lives would be much better than in District C, and that they would stay in frequent contact with Huang Qian, who was also in District B. But now...

"Actually, I have no idea either. I lost contact with them a long time ago as well. I was actually planning to ask you about the situation today."

As soon as those words were spoken, both of them realized the gravity of the situation. Just as they were about to discuss what to do next, Liu Feng walked out of the private room.

At this moment, Liu Feng lacked his previous arrogance, replaced instead by a trace of nervousness and agitation as he glanced toward Li Xingyue and Huang Qian.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and headed straight for Li Xingyue's private room.

He yanked the door open and shouted inside, "Xiaoshuang, stop playing around, we're leaving!"

Young Master Liu, who had been in high spirits, instantly sobered up upon hearing his older brother's voice. He hastily pushed Wenwen aside, pulled up his pants, and obediently followed right behind him.

"Liu Feng! What's going on? Why are you leaving?"

Liu Feng had already reached the top of the stairs. Hearing Huang Qian's voice, he hesitated for a moment, then turned back.

"Miss Huang, I'm sorry. All I can say is that the people inside that private room are not someone I can afford to provoke, and... and your father is probably..."

Liu Feng didn't finish his sentence; he simply dragged Young Master Liu away with him.

The moment those words dropped, the expressions of everyone in the lobby shifted dramatically!

The few people from Iron City were naturally overjoyed, looking as though they had been reborn, their faces plastered with smug triumphs.

Huang Qian's expression, however, turned even more ghastly. After freezing for a few seconds, she hurriedly snatched up her phone and began dialing a number.

Almost instantly, the call connected.

"Dad! Dad! Where are you? Hurry up and come! If you don't come soon I'll... sob sob sob!"

As Huang Qian spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears and broke down sobbing.

A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone, sounding extremely urgent!

"Daughter, are you alright? Dad is almost there! Don't worry, nobody dares to touch Huang Wei's daughter!!"

No sooner had the words fallen than a loud crash echoed from downstairs, sounding like shattering glass, followed immediately by a middle-aged man rushing up the staircase.

The man was sweating profusely. As soon as he reached the top, he looked around frantically, and upon spotting Huang Qian, he bolted toward her and pulled her into a tight embrace!

"It's alright, daughter, Dad is here, don't be afraid!"

It would have been better had the man not tried to comfort her; the moment he did, Huang Qian's tears broke through like a breached dam, and she began to wail uncontrollably.

Huang Wei gently stroked Huang Qian's back, his face filled with heartache, which instantly morphed into towering rage!

The moment he turned his head, he spotted Li Xingyue standing beside Huang Qian. Releasing Huang Qian, he lunged forward and grabbed Li Xingyue by the throat.

"You dare bully my daughter, go to hell!!!"

Li Xingyue was still pondering what their next move should be when he felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes, followed instantly by a tight, vice-like grip around his neck, lifting his feet clean off the ground...

"Uh... Un... Uncle... I... didn't..."

Li Xingyue wanted to explain, but he couldn't even squeeze out a complete sentence, left desperately clawing at Huang Wei's fingers in a frantic bid to escape.

Huang Qian was weeping bitterly when she heard Li Xingyue's voice. Turning her head, she instantly cut off her cries and lunged forward, grabbing Huang Wei's arm.

"Dad! Let go! You grabbed the wrong person, he's my friend!"

Hearing this, Huang Wei released his grip immediately. Looking at Li Xingyue, who was sitting on the floor coughing heavily, his voice carried a hint of apology.

"Sorry, young man, your uncle was just too anxious a moment ago."

Li Xingyue recovered his breath after a few moments, finally feeling somewhat better. If Huang Qian had been a few seconds later, he feared he would have been a gononer right then and there!

That feeling of suffocation was truly terrifying!

"Uncle, th... they're in that private room. They're people from Ark City, their background probably isn't simple."

"Hmph, even people from Ark City have no right to bully Huang Wei's daughter!"

Huang Wei let out a cold snort and strode directly toward the room Li Xingyue had pointed out.

With a powerful kick, he smashed the door of the private room wide open.

Bang!

Clatter!

"I'd like to see just who has the guts to bully Huang Wei's daughter!"

Captain Wu and Captain Hu were chatting merrily when the door was suddenly kicked open, startling them both.

Upon seeing Huang Wei, Captain Hu immediately lowered his head, feigning drunkenness as if he were completely out of it.

Captain Wu, however, showed not a trace of fear, narrowing his eyes slightly as he sized Huang Wei up.

"You must be Huang Wei?"

"That's right!"

"Oh~, well, what's this? Did you come here to watch the livestream as well?"

"Hahahahaha!"
