Returning From Level 900

Chapter 332 - 332 Might Offend You

332 Might Offend You

Outside the tower.

At the bar.

Five people entered through the door, led by Mi Lailai, who was dressed in white.

When the man saw Mi Lailai, he immediately awoke.

He hid his crazy smile.

He did not even look at Ai Xin, who was lying motionless on the ground.

“Captain Mi, this woman was rude and ridiculed me,” he dragged Du Keke to Mi Lailai, saying gently. “I intend to teach her a lesson. Don’t worry. I will not cause any problems in your bar. I will take her away from here. Is that all right?”

Mi Lailai cocked her head, surveying the situation in the bar. “How can I open my business in the future if the customers in my shop are dragged away?” she said calmly. “In addition, it appears that someone is dead on the ground.”

The man frowned and pondered for a moment.

He did not dare to speak rashly.

“How about a rare item from the 500th floor? Captain Mi, I like this lady, so please do me a favor.”

Mi Lailai brushed him off.

She walked forward and took Du Keke from the man’s hand.

At first, the man refused to let go.

Mi Lailai immediately pulled out a knife and slashed his arm.

The man paused, suppressing his desire to fight, and took a half-step back. He finally let go of his hand.

Mi Lailai yanked the cloth from Du Keke’s mouth and pushed her toward the door, signaling she was free to leave.

Du Keke bowed to thank Mi Lailai. She glanced at He Jiong, who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood. Her eyes were filled with disappointment as she remembered how helpless He Jiong had been when that evil man had kidnaped her.

She turned around and ran out of the bar without hesitation.

The man’s brow furrowed. “Imbeciles,” he said quietly, suppressing his rage. “Where is my pride if I let you offend me so? Captain Mi, you know this is not proper, right?”

Mi Lailai approached He Jiong and helped him up. “Are you okay?”

He Jiong’s mouth was still swollen, and his expression was ghastly. He shook his head.

The other four members followed her into the bar.

One approached the woman in the suit and gently patted her on the back to comfort her.

“Ah Nan, Captain Mi, it is a good thing you came in time,” the woman said, her face sad. “Otherwise, something terrible would have happened even though the bar has only been open for a few days. It might scare customers off.”

Ah Nan nodded and remained silent.

Mi Lailai did not respond. Instead, she said to He Jiong, “Your boss told you to wait for his notice before entering the tower. You have done so much damage to yourself, so do not ruin his plans.”

“I am sorry,” He Jiong said, his lips pursed.

“No need; just look after yourself.”

Mi Lai turned around and drew the man closer to He Jiong. “To be honest, I do not care who offends you, but do not say I did not warn you,” she said, pointing to his wounds. “Wang Wen has handpicked this follower. Who do you think will be in more trouble if Wang Wen asks him to enter the tower tonight?”

“He knows Wang Wen?” the man asked, slightly stunned. “This person doesn’t even have world energy points!”

Mi Lailai groaned. “Do you think Wang Wen cares about his world energy points? We go way back, Old Liu. I don’t want to make you look bad. What I do today has no bearing on the bar’s business. On the other hand, I am assisting you!”

“Help me?” The man looked at her, perplexed.

“You came all the way here to celebrate my bar’s grand opening, so let me say one more thing!”

Mi Lailai said solemnly, “You have a sensitive identity due to your connection to the Tiansheng Group. He previously let you go because of your positive attitude. Wang Wen might have to find new people now that you have injured the people he wanted. This will have an impact on his strategy and pace. With Wang Wen’s current strength, if he wants to kill you, you will probably die before you even see him.”

The man remained silent.

He realized what Mi Lailai meant.

He also knew that if Wang Wen truly desired to kill him, it would be no more difficult than killing an ant.

He could not stop because he was angry; he also could not swallow his pride.

He was, after all, a well-known top-tier tower climber.

It would be too depressing for him to be humiliated in a small bar. What a waste of his abilities!

However…

He gradually relaxed.

In addition to Mi Lailai’s wise counsel…

He finally realized what a huge mess he had made.

Wang Wen could even coerce people hiding inside the tower to leave it.

Was there anything that he could not do?

Even before he heard Wang Wen’s name, he wondered if beating up a rookie would possibly affect Wang Wen’s plan.

He found out from Mi Lailai.

If he interfered with Wang Wen’s plan, he would die if he interrupted Wang Wen’s plans.

He wanted to live.

He would not have surrendered so easily otherwise.

However, the situation has deteriorated…

It would be difficult to put an end to that.

The man was suffering from a headache.

After some thought, he walked over to Ai Xin, who was motionless on the ground, took out a small bottle, and fed something to her. Then he patted her on the back and said, “If you are awake, get up. I know my strength. Don’t pretend to be dead.”

His voice faded.

Ai Xin opened her eyes.

She stared at the man in horror.

“Stop hitting me!” she yelled. “I know I was wrong!”

“I am not going to hit you! You know him,” the man said as he drew Ai Xin toward He Jiong. “Please help me tell him to forgive me and not tell Wang Wen about this.”

Immediately after he said that…

Some people tried hard not to laugh.

Some people were taken aback.

Some felt helpless.

Mi Lailai hid her face behind her hands, unable to look at him. Some knew that men in positions of power were not used to bowing their heads to apologize to those below them. Some might think that person was lying.

Wang Wen’s name had been mentioned several times to the woman in the suit. She adjusted her glasses, and an unknown light flashed in her eyes. That arrogant man had become humble because he was afraid of offending Wang Wen.

He even shoved Ai Xin toward He Jiong.

Everyone was taken aback.

How could she possibly know what to say?

She had no idea what had happened during her unconsciousness.

How did the scenario shift?

She stood in a daze in front of He Jiong, clutching her still-throbbing stomach and unable to speak for a long time.

He Jiong, on the other hand, was the first to break the awkwardness.

“Go,” he said as he waved his hand. “I am not going to tell the boss about you. It’s not something that men do.”

Finally, he had relented.

The man took advantage of the situation and presented a few small bottles. His demeanor shifted. “This is all my fault for not exercising restraint. We are all on the same team. This would not have happened if you had mentioned Wang Wen’s name earlier. I have gone too far with your girlfriend. I went too far. Just let me know what kind of compensation you require. I am not going to argue.”

Ai Xin rubbed her stomach, speechless, beside him.

‘Bullshit!’ she thought in her heart. When she mentioned Wang Wen’s name, she was nearly killed!

He Jiong was depressed. He pushed the small bottle away, dismissing the man’s unnecessary kindness. “No need to compensate me. I require nothing from you. Du Keke is also not my girlfriend. You are right. I can’t get her.”

The man could not decide whether to laugh or cry. “This is medicine, not compensation. They’re to help with your injuries. Otherwise, people will notice your broken body even if you do not say anything, right? Teacher Wang might have a problem with me.”

He Jiong became even more depressed.

Everyone’s attitude toward him turned out to be unrelated to him. They only did it because he knew Wang Wen.

Or, more precisely, because they might offend Wang Wen.

He was nothing more than a piece of trash without Wang Wen, easily beaten and scolded.

He lowered his head and examined the phlegm on his clothes. His thoughts became clearer.
