Chapter 238 Conflict
Chen Chen narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, a sinister glint in them. A malicious smile curled at the corner of his mouth. As if deliberately trying to reopen Luo Nan's wounds, he said, word by word, "Luo Nan, you don't actually think you can escape the past and start a new life, do you?"
He suddenly leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, it's impossible. You might escape tonight, but what about tomorrow? What about after that? There's a long road ahead. Next time, I will definitely break your bones myself!"
Bai Li keenly noticed that Luo Nan's arm muscles suddenly tensed up, and for a moment, the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
She could even clearly hear the faint cracking of Ronan's bones as he spoke in anger.
"Chen Chen." Luo Nan's voice was icy, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, "Say one more word..."
"So what?" Chen Chen interrupted with a laugh, completely ignoring Luo Nan's warning. Instead, he laughed even more arrogantly. "Save your breath, you bankrupt young master. You can't even afford to pay for a bottle of the cheapest wine now. Look at yourself now, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Your family is already ruined. Do you expect anyone to respect you?"
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Bai Li and said in a sarcastic tone, "Sister, you'd better be careful. The son of a sinner might do something dangerous."
Bai Li frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, and she reached out and grabbed Luo Nan's wrist, where the veins were bulging.
Unintentionally, her fingertips touched a rough scar on his wrist. The scar felt somewhat rough, which made Bai Li pause in surprise.
But at this moment, solving these immediate problems was the most urgent task, so she just glanced at it casually and put the matter out of her mind.
Bai Li took a deep breath and said coldly, "I advise you to leave now. This is my booth, and you've already broken the rules by barging in without permission. If you continue to cause trouble like this, I don't mind..."
Bai Li paused, a dangerous glint in her eyes: "I don't mind taking special measures to deal with it."
Seeing Bai Li's stance of standing up for Luo Nan, the boy behind Chen Chen sneered, his tone full of disdain: "Sister, do you know who we are? In this Shanghai, there's nothing we can't handle."
Bai Li chuckled to herself.
Another group of annoying guys who think they're above the law and do whatever they want just because they have powerful families.
She had already witnessed it at the banquet hosted by the Jiang Yang Lin family.
A group of spoiled young masters who know nothing of manners.
Of course, the last few people didn't fare well.
She sneered, ignoring the boy's words, and calmly took out her phone, pretending to make a call: "Then I'd like to see just how good your so-called 'smooth handling' really is."
Bai Li knew very well that she didn't expect the staff here to be able to help her effectively.
She was a guest here, as were these wealthy young men.
If the two groups of guests start fighting, the staff will also be in a dilemma.
Even if you call the management or security guards here, they will most likely only try to mediate and won't be able to really solve the problem.
It was just a coincidence today. She had planned to come out and relax, but she didn't expect this to happen, so she didn't bring Ah Hu and the others with her.
She would definitely be at a disadvantage if she faced these guys head-on.
Therefore, the most effective way now is to threaten them, make them afraid and not dare to act rashly, and then find an opportunity to settle accounts with them later.
Moreover, these boys just revealed that their influence is all in Shanghai.
Things are much easier in Shanghai.
These people won't get away with messing with me.
She has already memorized their appearances, and she will gradually "play" with them.
Jiang Mingfei also shook the PAD beside her, her expression serious, and said to Bai Li, "We have already called security. If you don't leave now, things will get complicated."
Seeing Bai Li's calm and composed demeanor, the bespectacled boy's expression changed slightly. He tugged at Chen Chen's sleeve, signaling with his eyes that he should stop while he was ahead.
Actually, Chen Chen already knew what was going on without his companions reminding him.
Although he was arrogant and domineering, he also knew that if things got out of hand, it would do them no good.
The woman in front of me is no ordinary person; she can produce ten million in cash at once.
Although they look unfamiliar, they might actually be people they can't afford to mess with.
But he was unwilling to leave so easily.
Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and glared fiercely at Luo Nan: "Fine, you win today. Luo Nan, you just wait, this isn't over!"
After saying that, he and the others left the booth reluctantly.
Although Bai Li did not call for staff, Jiang Mingfei had already called for them for her.
As Manager Liao watched those people walk out of the booth, his back instantly stiffened, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.
How did these two groups end up clashing?
It's over. It's over.
Upon seeing Manager Liao, Jiang Mingfei immediately erupted, calling him by his full name: "Liao Yingjun, this matter cannot be left like this. These people freely entering and leaving other people's booths is also a dereliction of duty on your part."
Her voice rose a few decibels, filled with obvious dissatisfaction: "My friend came for the first time today and generated ten million in revenue for you, but he had a terrible experience. Aren't you going to do anything to make up for it?"
Manager Liao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly went into the booth, bowing 90 degrees to apologize.
"I'm so sorry for the bad experience we caused our guests. This is indeed our fault. I will apply to my superiors for a full refund of tonight's expenses. We will also improve the security measures for our booths as soon as possible, and this will never happen again."
After bowing and standing up, he spoke while secretly observing Bai Li and Jiang Mingfei's expressions.
Bai Li shook her head after hearing this, her voice cold: "Manager Liao, it's okay, but not enough."
This group is really arrogant. Not only did they come uninvited to provoke us, but they even blocked the exit of the booth. How is this any different from an open threat?
She had never been treated like this before, and it had been a long time since she had felt so angry.
These people must pay a price to vent their anger.
Bai Li paused for a moment, then continued, "Indeed, this is my first time visiting your establishment, but it has truly broadened my horizons. I thought it would be a place where I could have a great time, but I didn't expect the members here to be of such low quality."
She frowned slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment: "I heard that your firm requires proof of assets of 2000 million yuan for membership, and that membership can only be obtained through internal referrals. Every step is strictly controlled to ensure the high quality and standards of members. But after seeing this today, it seems that it is not as advertised as it seems."
Bai Li turned to look at Luo Nan and found that his face was still gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles were white.
She pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "Luo Nan, what's your relationship with those people just now?"
Luo Nan slowly loosened his fist, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down: "They are my former...classmates."
Seemingly reluctant to acknowledge their relationship, Luo Nan paused before finally uttering the word "classmate."
"Hmm." Bai Li nodded, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes. "So that means those people are still in school. How could someone so young have proof of 2000 million in assets? Manager Liao, why don't you check your admission rules? Members of this low quality shouldn't be allowed in."
Upon hearing this, Manager Liao felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
He was inwardly groaning. He knew all too well who those people were; they were all descendants of high-ranking officials and nobles, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Although they did not personally reach the 2000 million threshold, considering their family connections, they were all admitted through special approval.
Manager Liao was on the verge of tears.
Help! In this situation, all he could do was laugh it off.
Manager Liao forced a smile: "Okay, Mr. Bai, we will find out as soon as possible."
Bai Li's eyes darkened; she could tell, of course, that Manager Liao was just giving her the runaround.
It seems that those people are not simple, and the Jade Kingdom dares not offend them easily.
She had anticipated this situation, which is why she hadn't expected the people from the Emerald Kingdom to come to her aid.
But it wasn't her intention to make things difficult for an innocent worker.
Since we can't rely on the people here, we'll have to do it ourselves...
