Chapter 148: Keeping the Call (Part 2)
"Brother, help!"
When Xie Yufei shouted this on the other end of the phone, Wei Yuan was sitting at a roadside stall, getting ready to eat noodles.
"What happened?"
Wei Yuan spoke casually; this girl always sounded like this, so he didn't really take it seriously as if she was in any real trouble.
Who would have thought that on the other end, Xie Yufei was already incoherent and seemed very anxious: "Today is my friend's birthday, and they took me to Upper World. Then a few guys showed up, and they insisted that I drink. After a few glasses, I realized they were trying to slip something into my drink when I wasn't paying attention."
Upper World was certainly not the top-tier club in Yanjing, but rather a bar that had just opened less than a year ago in Jinghai City. As for how it got such an extravagant name, it was probably just for show.
Hearing that Xie Yufei was still somewhat coherent and had the presence of mind to call for help, Wei Yuan could tell she hadn't drunk anything spiked. However, from her tone, it was clear she had been drinking heavily. This girl really didn't know her limits; after a while of drinking, how could they let her off easily?
"How old are you? Who told you to go to places like that?"
Wei Yuan sounded quite angry as the bowl of beef noodles he ordered was about to be served.
Just as the waiter was about to bring out the beef noodles, Wei Yuan had already sprinted several dozen meters away.
The waiter scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself, "This person is really strange; he runs faster than someone trying to skip out on a bill."
"Are you safe right now?"
As Wei Yuan ran frantically toward the Upper World Bar, he kept the call active without hanging up.
Xie Yufei replied, "I'm hiding in the bathroom to make this call, but they're still waiting for me outside."
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Wei Yuan didn't have time to scold Xie Yufei. He quickly ran onto the main road; cars were coming and going in a bustling manner, but he couldn't find a single taxi.
Just then, by coincidence, a bright red Ferrari was stopped at a red light ahead, and it happened to belong to someone Wei Yuan knew.
Wei Yuan hurriedly ran over, leaping into the passenger seat of a convertible Ferrari.
"Help me out, take me to Upper World Bar."
It turned out that the owner of the car was Yuan Ziyi, who looked at Wei Yuan in surprise and said, "Did you think I was a taxi?"
Wei Yuan awkwardly replied, "Don't joke around. I can't afford a taxi that costs over a million."
"Is it urgent?"
As the traffic light turned red, Yuan Ziyi suddenly stepped on the gas and said to Wei Yuan beside her.
"Yes, very urgent."
Wei Yuan blurted out, and without asking any further questions, Yuan Ziyi pressed the accelerator to the floor. Since it was an urgent matter, she decided to handle it quickly.
At this moment, Xie Yufei's phone call was still ongoing. Wei Yuan continued speaking into the phone, "Lock the door and hold on. I'll be there soon."
After giving a series of instructions, he didn't even know what was going on; he just wanted to get to the scene as quickly as possible. However, glancing at Yuan Ziyi's speedometer, it was already at one hundred fifty miles per hour—what more could he urge?
Upon arriving at Upper World, Wei Yuan couldn't wait for her to park; he jumped out of her convertible sports car immediately.
Yuan Ziyi parked the car and prepared to follow him. Wei Yuan stood at the door and turned back to say, "Thanks, Yuan Jie, but you should head back. This kind of place isn't really suitable for you."
Yuan Ziyi frowned slightly and said, "Why isn't it suitable for me? I can help with any problems."
Since she insisted, Wei Yuan didn't push her to go back. He simply called his cousin Xie Yufei to clarify where she was in the restroom and then rushed straight ahead without caring about Yuan Ziyi beside him.
As he entered the hall, he was immediately greeted by deafening metal music. He then saw a group of men and women wildly dancing in the center of the dance floor.
Wei Yuan had been to this bar before; although he had never danced in the hall, he could still feel the energy of those dancing in such an environment.
However, now that he viewed it from a different perspective, he found those writhing bodies quite ridiculous. It was like a line from a domestic film: if you turned on the lights and stopped the music, you would see how absurd these twisting crowds really were...
As Wei Yuan walked to a women's restroom next to the private room, he suddenly saw two teenagers with colorful hair, looking only about sixteen or seventeen years old, standing outside smoking. He spoke into his phone to his cousin, "I'm here, Yufei, you just come out."
After hanging up, Wei Yuan approached and was about to push open the door to the women's restroom.
"What are you doing?"
One of the teenagers rushed over and grabbed Wei Yuan's hand, shouting loudly.
Wei Yuan appeared unfazed: "I'm going to the restroom."
"Boss, this is the women's restroom. You may not know how to read, but you should recognize this symbol, right?" The other person laughed and stepped forward, looking at Wei Yuan as if he were a country bumpkin.
Wei Yuan smiled and replied, "Since this is the women's restroom, what are you two doing standing here?"
"What’s it to you? I warn you not to meddle in our business. If you have nothing to do, just go use your restroom and drink your alcohol. If you dare to interfere, you'll walk in sideways and come out headfirst."
One of the teenagers noticed that Wei Yuan seemed intent on causing trouble and immediately made a threatening remark.
At that moment, the door of the women's restroom swung open, and Xie Yufei timidly walked out. The one who had been threatening her approached and put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "Come on, let's go drink some more."
Hearing this, Xie Yufei seemed to realize something and looked at Wei Yuan with her big misty eyes, pleading, "Brother, save me."
"Brother?"
The two teenagers' expressions changed upon hearing this. They turned around only to find Wei Yuan's fist coming straight at them.
Striking first
Wei Yuan didn't care about any sneak attack or anything like that. Taking advantage of their momentary surprise, he wasted no time.
He threw a punch directly at the nose of the person who had turned back. Wei Yuan's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person; with that punch, blood gushed from the person's nose. Accompanied by his cries of pain, it was almost like an alternative version of a musical fountain.
The person covered his face as tears and mucus mixed with blood streamed down, looking extremely terrifying. Fortunately, Wei Yuan was somewhat aware of his own strength and didn't hold back too much; there shouldn't be any serious problems.
However, these people think too highly of themselves after watching a few movies, running around recklessly. They are just afraid that the real villains they have never encountered are actually the kind of softies who fear hard blows.
The person who got hit in the nose by Wei Yuan immediately fell to the ground, groaning and crying, having already lost the will to fight.
Sometimes, fighting is all about momentum.
Is it possible for someone to take on ten opponents at once?
It is indeed possible, but it depends on what kind of people they are facing. If they are inexperienced, just a couple of strong moves to take down one will instill extreme fear in the other nine. When they think about surrounding him, they won't have the guts to do so.
The other person saw how fierce Wei Yuan was, taking down one with just a word, and was filled with fear. How could he dare to charge forward?
Wei Yuan gauged his background and immediately calmed down. He walked over and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to curl up like a shrimp.
Then Wei Yuan walked up to him, lifted him up, and asked, "Do you still want to fight?"
Upon hearing this, the person shook his head vigorously as if he were playing a wave drum; anyone who didn’t know would think he was high on drugs.
Wei Yuan grabbed his collar and raised an eyebrow at him, saying, "If you don’t want to end up in the hospital for no reason, then obediently go home and behave yourself. Don’t mess around in places like this anymore."
"Yes... Big Brother, you’re right."
Hearing this, the person understood he was saved and quickly trembled as he replied.
Wei Yuan could see that he was clearly still fresh from messing around with others and didn’t have much courage. In other words, there was still hope for him.
So Wei Yuan deliberately went easy on him and just sent him away with words.
The person felt as if he had been granted amnesty; he immediately bowed deeply and thanked him profusely before rolling away.
At this moment, Xie Yufei looked at Wei Yuan with a slightly different gaze. Her clear eyes were now mixed with various emotions.
One of those emotions was a sense of security from being protected. When a man rushes to the scene to fight for her when she is in trouble, it is a deeply moving experience for any girl.
One of them felt a slight fear, after all, seeing Wei Yuan take down two people with just a punch and a kick, and that punch had sent one of them bleeding from the nose, screaming on the ground like a slaughtered pig.
Moreover, the screams were still ringing in the air, but this was a bar, where the exaggerated music in the hall and the well-soundproofed walls of the private rooms drowned out those screams. So for a while, no one noticed.
To exaggerate a bit, in such places, sometimes even if someone died, it might not be immediately discovered.
Xie Yufei walked over and timidly wrapped her arms around Wei Yuan's shoulder, looking at the guy screaming on the ground and said, "Brother, should we leave?"
Wei Yuan calmly replied, "Who planned to drug your drink tonight?"
"It was that person you saw before."
"Those Dog Day's kids, they may be young but they sure have guts to do something like this."
At this moment, Wei Yuan had no intention of leaving. He asked Xie Yufei, "Are they in that private room now?"
Hearing this, Xie Yufei looked nervous and said, "Brother, what do you want to do?"
