Half an hour later, Liu Jinxiu arrived at a bar named 'Hi-Tide'.
As it was morning, bars usually operated at night, so the bar door was closed.
As soon as Liu Jinxiu arrived, a man with tattoos on his arm greeted her, "Miss Liu, Brother Hei has been waiting for you inside. Please come in!"
"Mm."
Liu Jinxiu merely nodded and followed the man into the bar.
The bar was extremely quiet at this moment. Only a bald man with a silver chain around his neck sat at the bar, drinking alone.
Seeing Liu Jinxiu enter, the bald man stood up and smiled, "Miss Liu, you're here. Come, come, sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Liu Jinxiu walked closer, sat on another chair, and got straight to the point, "I won't drink. Brother Hei, I want to hire you to deal with someone!"
"Haha, Miss Liu is a straightforward person, I like that!"
The bald man downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, put it down, and said, "Who does Miss Liu want me to deal with?"
Liu Jinxiu didn't immediately mention Qin Yi's name. Instead, she first asked, "Brother Hei, how many men do you have under you in total?"
At the Royal Court Hotel, Liu Jinxiu had witnessed Qin Yi's skills. The more than ten to twenty bodyguards and security guards brought by Tang Jialei couldn't defeat Qin Yi. Hence, she wanted to confirm first if Brother Hei could handle Qin Yi.
Hearing the question, a proud look immediately appeared on the bald man's face. He replied, "It depends on how you count. If you add up everyone from my various establishments, it's several hundred!"
Liu Jinxiu's eyes lit up.
The bald man noticed and continued, "Miss Liu, we're old acquaintances. You know how many things I've done for Young Master Tang before. When have I ever failed?"
"In Haicheng, apart from that Xiong Zhentian, my men are the most numerous! So, Miss Liu, just tell me who you want me to teach a lesson to!"
Hei Er, the owner of several entertainment venues in Haicheng, not only operated entertainment establishments but also frequently took on illicit jobs.
In the past, if anyone offended Tang Jialei, Tang Jialei would hire Hei Er to deal with them.
It was because of this that Liu Jinxiu knew Hei Er.
"The person I want you to deal with is named Qin Yi." Liu Jinxiu took out her phone and found a photo of Qin Yi, "This is him."
Hei Er merely glanced at it casually and said, "No problem. Miss Zhang, how do you want me to deal with him?"
"You know my fee structure. A mild lesson costs 100,000. If you cripple him, it'll be at least 500,000..."
Liu Jinxiu said directly, "I'll give you one million. I want you to cripple his manhood and then bring him to me!"
Qin Yi had crippled Tang Jialei's manhood, so Liu Jinxiu planned to repay the favor in kind and cripple Qin Yi.
Then, she would bring Qin Yi before Tang Jialei to claim credit.
This way, Tang Jialei's anger would subside, and the Tang family might even look at her with renewed respect, valuing her even more in the future.
For this, Liu Jinxiu had spared no expense, using almost all her savings accumulated from Tang Jialei over the years.
Hei Er, upon hearing this, asked with interest, "How did this person offend Miss Liu to make her so angry?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Brother Hei, I just want to know if you'll take this job?"
"Take it, why wouldn't I!" Hei Er rubbed his bald head and held up three fingers. "Three days. I'll definitely cripple this person and bring him to Miss Liu!"
"Deal! I'll transfer fifty thousand as a deposit first. Once the job is done, I'll pay the remaining fifty thousand!"
"Agreed."
...
After Qin Yi finished chatting with Zheng Shufen, he first called Huang Shi to ask if there was any news about the Worm Marrow Grass and Golden Flame Flower.
The result was disappointing. Huang Shi replied that there was none yet.
Next, Qin Yi called Han Xin, confirmed the dinner plans for the weekend, and asked if she had found out who attacked her yesterday.
Regarding his question, Han Xin's tone immediately became a little unnatural. "St-still haven't found out."
"Alright, if you get any news, remember to tell me!" Qin Yi said casually.
"..." There was a two-second silence from the phone before Han Xin replied, "Oh, okay!"
They chatted for a few more minutes before Qin Yi hung up when Qin Lei arrived.
Qin Yi looked at Qin Lei and asked, "Xiao Lei, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Ge..."
Qin Lei wanted to say something but seemed hesitant.
Qin Yi smiled, "Xiao Lei, is there anything you can't tell Ge? Hurry up and tell me, don't dither!"
"Ge, do you have twenty thousand yuan? I want to borrow twenty thousand yuan from you!"
Qin Yi asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly need so much money?"
"I, I..."
Qin Lei lowered her head, fiddled with her clothes, and said softly, "Ge, if you have twenty thousand yuan, please lend it to me. I'll repay you when I get paid next week!"
She ultimately did not tell Qin Yi what she needed the money for.
Seeing her like this, Qin Yi didn't press further and directly used his phone to transfer twenty thousand yuan to her.
Upon receiving the money, Qin Lei immediately said happily, "Thank you, Ge! You and Mom wait, I'll give you a surprise tonight!"
With that, she turned and ran off before Qin Yi could ask anything.
Qin Yi was puzzled.
Not long after, he saw Qin Lei wearing a mask and going out.
Watching her retreating figure, Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed her out.
Outside the residential compound, Qin Lei got into a taxi. So Qin Yi also hailed a taxi and followed.
Qin Lei's behavior today was too strange. She suddenly borrowed twenty thousand yuan from him and went out without telling him why. Qin Yi worried that something might be wrong with her, so he naturally had to follow and see.
About twenty minutes later, the taxi Qin Lei was in stopped. Qin Lei got out and walked into a building.
The taxi Qin Yi was in stopped right behind. Qin Yi got out and looked at the sign above the building Qin Lei had entered, murmuring, "Li Ren Beauty Hospital..."
As Qin Lei entered the lobby of Li Ren Beauty Hospital, a doctor in a white coat and a nurse greeted her.
The doctor in the white coat said, "Are you Ms. Qin Lei, who had a video call with us last night?"
Qin Lei nodded.
"Hello, hello. I am Dr. Lü Zhengchu, who spoke with you via video call last night. After our video call, I held a meeting with my medical team, and we have now formulated a perfect plan to remove your scar. Let's go to the office and discuss it in detail..."
"Okay."
Qin Lei followed the two into a nearby office.
In the office, the nurse poured Qin Lei a cup of water, while Lü Zhengchu continued to speak to her, "Ms. Qin, have you made up your mind? Do you want to have surgery at our hospital?"
"Our hospital is the best cosmetic surgery hospital in the entire Haicheng. When it comes to scar removal, we are the most professional!"
