In the bar, Ye Cangtian went to the restroom.
Tang Xinwan, on the other hand, sipped her fruity cocktail while taking in her surroundings.
To be honest, she didn't particularly like the environment here. The loud music and chaotic atmosphere made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
She had only come to the bar to experience the atmosphere!
Suddenly, someone sat in the seat in front of her. Tang Xinwan thought it was Ye Cangtian returning, but when she looked up, she saw a fat man with greasy hair.
"Heh heh, beautiful lady all alone? Let's have a drink together!" the fat man said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, my friend will be back soon!" Tang Xinwan replied with a frown.
"It's okay, let's just be friends!"
The fat man smiled, and with one hand subtly gripping something white, he reached it towards Tang Xinwan.
As if extending his hand for a handshake, he introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Li Fuhai..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man was lifted off his feet.
Ye Cangtian held him up, his gaze unfriendly, and asked, "What are you doing?"
The fat man chuckled nervously, "Nothing, I just wanted to make friends with this lady!"
"Make friends?"
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow, grabbed the man's right hand, and with a slight shake, a small white pill slipped from his fingertips and rolled onto the table.
He asked with a cold smile, "Do you need this to make friends?"
It was only then that Tang Xinwan realized she had almost been drugged and it was fortunate Ye Cangtian had returned in time.
Caught red-handed, although a bit embarrassed, the fat man was not afraid. He feigned ignorance and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go, or I won't be polite!"
"Li Fuhai, what happened? Do you need us to help?"
Just then, several second-generation rich youths walked over, arm in arm.
Seeing his companions arrive, the fat man gained more confidence. He snorted, "Kid, I'll tell you the truth, I've taken a fancy to your girl!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the rich youths and then at the fat man named 'Li Fuhai'. He slapped him across the face.
"Slap!"
"You dare hit me?"
"Slap!"
"You... you..." The fat man clutched his swollen face, not daring to speak further.
The rich youths also exchanged bewildered glances. This guy was too arrogant! He dared to hit someone right in front of them?
But they quickly reacted. This was part of a plan with Young Master Yu, so they naturally had to rush forward and deal with this kid.
"Brothers, get him!" The rich youths immediately charged.
Tao Wenyu, observing from the second-floor railing, couldn't help but smile. If nothing went wrong, he would soon see the kid being beaten by the 'actors' he had hired.
Then, he would step in, using his status to rescue the woman named Tang Xinwan, instantly winning her favor.
As Tao Wenyu pondered his plan, he walked down the stairs.
But as soon as he reached the bottom, he saw Li Fuhai's chubby body rolling at his feet, and not far away, several rich youths were sprawled in various positions, groaning in pain.
Tao Wenyu was stunned!
What was going on? Why were they all on the ground?
The music in the bar's main hall stopped. The young men and women who were having fun around them didn't know what had happened and looked over curiously.
"Young Master Yu, you didn't say this kid could fight so well!" Li Fuhai clutched Tao Wenyu's leg and grumbled resentfully.
Tao Wenyu's face turned dark. What about the acting? Why did you sell me out so quickly?
Not far away, Ye Cangtian also saw Tao Wenyu. He lit a cigarette and said with a cold smile, "So it's you!"
He had been wondering, even though some bars had low-quality troublemakers, they usually wouldn't be this arrogant.
Seeing Tao Wenyu now, Ye Cangtian understood what was going on.
Seeing that the act could no longer continue, Tao Wenyu decided to drop the pretense and said coldly, "So what if it's me? Don't you see whose territory this bar is? You dare to hit someone!"
Not to mention that these rich youths had their backgrounds, and moreover, this bar strictly prohibited fighting. No one dared to cause trouble in this bar because the bar was backed by a powerful figure in the underworld.
Therefore, Tao Wenyu was fearless and not afraid of the other party.
Ye Cangtian walked over step by step, reaching him, blowing out a smoke ring. Just as Tao Wenyu thought he wouldn't act again, Ye Cangtian kicked him.
"Bang!"
Tao Wenyu was sent flying, smashing into the side of the bar counter, making him clutch his stomach and his face turn red with pain. "You... you're dead!"
Ye Cangtian's expression was calm. He walked towards him again. Since this guy was Tao Chuanping's son and had provoked him without reason twice, Ye Cangtian wouldn't be polite.
"Ye Cangtian!"
Tang Xinwan rushed over from behind. She grabbed Ye Cangtian's hand and shook her head slightly.
She was worried that Ye Cangtian would cause trouble here and get into some kind of predicament. After all, this wasn't Yangzhou, and the Tao family was powerful and would definitely not let it go.
Seeing Tang Xinwan's worried expression, Ye Cangtian pondered for two seconds, nodded, and decided to let it go.
However, just then, figures rushed out from outside the bar.
"Who dares to cause trouble on my turf?" A man with a full beard walked out, followed by a dozen or twenty subordinates.
Seeing the newcomer, Tao Wenyu was overjoyed and quickly got up despite the pain.
"Brother Tuohai, I am Tao Wenyu of the Tao family. This guy just hit someone, and he clearly doesn't put you in his eyes."
Tao Wenyu pointed at Ye Cangtian indignantly, while the other rich youths also got up, complaining resentfully.
The bearded man named Tuohai frowned. He also knew these rich youths, so he couldn't help but look at Ye Cangtian and said darkly, "Did you hit them?"
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly. It seemed today's matter couldn't be resolved peacefully.
But a fight was a fight. He hadn't had a good workout in a while anyway.
Tang Xinwan, standing aside, stepped forward and argued, "Why are you not distinguishing right from wrong? They were harassing me, and they initiated the attack first."
Tuohai looked at Tang Xinwan and was taken aback. He tentatively asked, "Is this young lady surnamed Tang?"
Tang Xinwan was stunned and nodded.
Tuohai gasped and then looked at Ye Cangtian, saying with a wry smile, "Then this gentleman should be Mr. Ye, right?"
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow, surprised, "You know me?"
