C13 We Are Not Friends
As he opened the door of the bar, the sound of deafening music filled the air.
The dance floor was overflowing with colors. Several women with heavy makeup and black high heels were dancing. The whistling and whistling sound almost overturned the roof.
A wad of money was thrown down from the stage in exchange for the woman taking off a piece of clothing.
Yu Zhou fanned the wind with her hands. She had heard of Muse's reputation before and had never dared to enter.
"The first bar. Yuan Tian is waiting for us there." The hand she was holding onto Jiang Yansheng with couldn't help but tremble, but she took a big step forward.
When the two of them walked in, the noisy surroundings quieted for a moment, and the gazes from all around fell on the two of them.
There were many women dancing outside, but very few women came in from outside to play.
Jiang Yansheng wasn't the least bit embarrassed. She saw the bar Yu Zhou was talking about from a distance. The top of the bar had rows and rows of unopened foreign wine on it. The lights were bright and dazzling, and at first glance they looked like wine in the Garden of Eden.
Behind the bar stood a man.
He was tall and straight, had a clear and handsome appearance, and a clean temperament that was like dew in the clouds.
He was wearing only a white shirt and his shoulders looked thin.
Yuan Tian looked at them and signaled for them to come over with a wink as he busied himself pouring wine for his guests.
Jiang Yan Sheng frowned. There was still about three to four meters between them. She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The guest with his back to her was wearing a skintight leather suit. He was sitting on a high stool with his long legs crossed. His every movement was extremely sexy.
The man's slender fingers shook the glass, while his other hand teased the tie on Yuan Tian's chest.
When she looked at his back, she felt a sense of familiarity.
"So you're not the bartender for this table. Why are you here?" "The alcohol is pretty good. Leave a contact number and next time, I'll …" When Jiang Yansheng walked closer, he could tell who it was based on the sound of it.
No wonder Andi hurriedly changed the plan to her before getting off work. He wanted to relax himself after getting off work.
Jiang Yansheng pulled off the stool beside the man and sat down by himself.
An Di, who was initially distracted by Yuan Tian's words, turned around with a smile that was not a smile. His smile froze on his face the moment he saw Jiang Yan Sheng. It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
She glanced at the wine cup in his hand, and her gaze froze. He then looked at Andi's exceptionally long makeup, which appeared to be quite seductive, and smiled as he said, "Night life is quite rich. Come to the bar so early, ready to go home at nine o'clock and go to bed? "
Andi's face darkened, "I didn't expect to meet Director Jiang here. Should I thank Director Jiang for remembering my name this time?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled brightly, "You're welcome. I've always had a good memory."
"…"
He had guessed earlier that the director's idea of having a boring sex life because he didn't know how to play was a mistake.
The table suddenly trembled. Yu Zhou slammed a cup on the floor, "Which room is he in? I'll go in and find him!"
"I told you not to come, but you insisted." Yuan Tian felt a headache coming on. "It's good if he's really in the private room. Fu Mingming isn't actually here …"
Yu Zhou pulled his collar, "The scene is only so big, how could I not see such a huge mess without my life? Not here, not in the box. Where do you think he is? Yuan Tian, we're all classmates, and you're just going to watch him die? "
"Even if I tell you, you won't be able to enter! "Don't waste your time. I'll treat you to a drink, hurry up and leave. This place is too messy!"
Andi's fingertips touched the rim of his cup. He glanced at the two who were quarreling and smiled.
Jiang Yansheng asked, "Do you know the place that Yuan Tian is not willing to talk about?"
"Don't you want to buy a drink?" An Di didn't respond to her question. She absent-mindedly drank the wine in her hand in one gulp, and her lips were covered in a thick luster.
Jiang Yanxing paused for a moment before she stood up.
"Stop arguing."
A gold card was placed in front of Yuan Tian, she pointed at An Di, "The wine that he ordered earlier, let's have another cup. The money is drawn from the top. "
"To tell you the truth, I came here today to look for someone. I don't drink. "Please, tell me where is he?"
Yu Zhou still hadn't recovered from the ruckus, her face flushed red. Her gaze landed on Andi as she whispered, "Yusheng, the depression here is at least a thousand. What kind of wine did you treat him to?"
Jiang Yansheng sighed, "Enough, Louis XIII's empty bottle is enough for both of us."
"So expensive." Yu Zhou was speechless. "Is this your friend?"
An Di interrupted, "A friend is not exactly what you call a friend. They just have a hierarchy."
"The person you're looking for, if I'm not wrong, should be in Rainbow Hall."
The moment this word came out, Yuan Tian slammed the wine pot on the table. With a slightly fierce expression, he asked, "Why are you telling them?"
Just by looking at Yuan Tian's performance, Yu Zhou knew that the handsome foreign man was talking about the correct place. Her eyes lit up as she excitedly asked, "Where is Rainbow Hall? Do you know how to get there? "
Andi laughed lightly, "Rainbow Hall is a place where one gambles with one's life. In Muse's underground fighting arena, every time we compete, we will win a huge amount of prize money without crippling the other party even if we don't end up crippling him. You can even bet on yourself to win. If a rookie with a higher payout wins, he or she will earn quite a lot just from gambling. "
"What, you guys have friends going on stage today?"
Jiang Yan Sheng was silent for a moment. "It might be. I'm not sure."
Yuan Tian, who was standing at the side, had a complicated expression on his face. "How do you know this place?"
Even he, who had stayed here for a year and a half, had only heard about it and was never qualified to enter. This morning, he saw Fu Mingming's picture on the poster at the Rainbow Hall and was shocked to realize that Fu Mingming had run into such a dangerous place.
Everyone from Rainbow Hall was betting on Fu Mingming's opponent. It was said that Fu Mingming was originally an ordinary newbie, but he won three or four rounds in a row. Tonight, regardless of the outcome, the boss would make this person die here.
Andi laughed. "Please, handsome man. Milan also has Muse. "Not only do I know this place, I also know the sign that goes in."
He pulled out a necklace from his low-cut collar. On it hung a small gold plaque with an English name engraved on the front with a knife.
Jack
Jiang Yan Sheng clenched his fists and asked tentatively, "We're going to look for someone. Can you bring us in?"
Surprisingly, Andi was not as easy to talk to as he did during the day, "As long as you don't do anything out of line."
She and Yu Zhou agreed.
The clamorous sound of the dishes playing next to their ears caused the atmosphere to become extremely heated. Some people watched as they were about to make their move, but because of the flute sitting beside them, they didn't make much of a move.
Jiang Yan Sheng frowned. "You come here every day after work?"
He kept having the feeling that Andi made the surrounding people feel a little afraid.
However, she was used to seeing Andi in a suit and tie during the day, so she couldn't change her expression in a short while. Therefore, she didn't know why these people were looking at her with such vigilance.
Andi slowly looked at his watch, and a song suddenly appeared in the room. A few people from the booth calmly walked out.
He gave a vague "hmm" and replied in a low and sexy voice, "Time's up. Come with me."
Andi was walking in front, while Yu Zhou gently tugged on Jiang Yisheng's sleeve, "Is this person reliable?" "The makeup is thicker than mine."
Jiang Yan Sheng felt a headache coming on. "We're only going to follow him now." Do you have any other way to find Fu Mingming? "
"It doesn't matter, I still haven't approved his plan. If anything happens at night, call him back tomorrow and let him do it again." She raised her voice just in time for Andi to hear her, and her elegant gait faltered.
He snorted and did not speak.
Bullying others.
Jiang Yansheng followed Andi to a deserted bar bar in the back, where the bartender was wiping glasses with his head.
An Di showed him the small sign around his neck, and the bartender's attitude immediately became respectful. He bowed slightly to make way for them.
He found a handle on the bulging half-curved wall, and with a gentle pull, it became a half-open door.
The narrow spiral staircase went down, and there was a cave in it.
Jiang Yansheng blinked his eyes.
It's really amazing. The bar looks small from the outside, but you can still manage to get a layer inside?
"..."
In the small locker room, a well-built man was wrapping bandages around his wrists.
The fan whirred overhead.
The rotten metal door was kicked open, and two old gloves were thrown onto the ground.
"Boss said that you have to use our things for tonight's match."
The man's back stiffened, his hands clenched into fists, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
He slowly took off his gloves and put on the one on the ground.
The man came out of the locker room with a pale face. He stared at the dazzling lights outside and stared at them with wide eyes.
Below the stage stood a few familiar faces.
"Boat …" As he muttered the name on his pale lips, the man was pushed from behind and staggered onto the stage.
"..."
"Yan Sheng!" It was really clear! "I gave him a fucking hard job. He's not going, so why would he come here and bet with someone?" Yu Zhou let out a rare curse. When she saw Fu Mingming, her heart had already turned cold.
Fu Mingming's opponent was also on stage. His hair was disheveled, there was a knife scar on his chest, and he wore a gold medal similar to Andi. Even from far away, he could smell the strong smell of blood.
With a cold expression on his face, she turned around to ask the indifferent Andi, "The one on the left is my friend, what do you think his chances of winning are?"
Andi narrowed his eyes and sized him up, replying with certainty, "Do you see the sign that the person opposite us brought? Your friend won't win. "
"Isn't that a pass in and out?"
Andi was surprised. "Who told you that? As long as you have money, anyone can come here. "
He pointed at the fanatical faces of the spectators around him, "Those with tags are all professionals, they'll need to be at least a month's worth of arena masters."
The smile on Andi's face was still the same. The dim light cut his face in half, and for the first time, his smile made people shiver.
Jiang Yansheng's back was covered in cold sweat, but her expression was calm and composed.
"I'm going up to save this person. Are you willing to help me?"
Andi smiled. "We aren't even friends. Why would I take such a risk?"
