However, Liu Yanran, who was determined to let loose, did not realize that someone was following her from behind and reporting her whereabouts to another person via phone.
Sitting at the bar, although Liu Yanran had never been to a place like this before, she mimicked the scenes she had seen on television and ordered a cocktail.
This cocktail was indeed strong alcohol, which Liu Yanran was aware of, but at that moment, she was single-mindedly intent on getting drunk and ordered it anyway.
The bartender seemed to have some professional ethics; noticing that Liu Yanran was a first-timer in such places, he advised her that the drink was strong. However, Liu Yanran ignored him. When someone is focused on letting loose, rationality tends to be absent.
Lifting her glass, Liu Yanran downed it in one go without a second thought and then called for another.
As soon as this stunning beauty entered the bar, she caught the attention of those inside. The women were less of a concern; they wouldn’t react too strongly. However, the men were another story. They watched Liu Yanran with hungry eyes, swallowing hard as they saw her down her drink so boldly. They quickly began to whistle, clearly encouraging her to keep drinking until she was completely intoxicated.
To say that they all had ulterior motives would be an overstatement. While there were indeed some with bad intentions among them, they were few. Most were simply excited to see a beautiful woman drinking alone in a bar and wanted to cheer her on to get drunk quickly. As for what they would do if Liu Yanran got drunk, not many had that thought in mind, and even fewer had both the intention and the courage to act on it.
Meanwhile, another man who also seemed to be watching the scene quickly made a phone call upon seeing Liu Yanran drinking. He continued to report on her situation; it turned out he was the one who had been following her all along.
“Tiger, keep a close watch on her. If she wants to drink, let her drink. I know she usually doesn’t touch alcohol; she’ll probably be drunk after just a few drinks. Also, keep an eye on her; don’t let any other men take advantage of her—she’s my woman.” The person on the other end of the line was pleased with the updates from his subordinate and instructed him before hanging up; he needed to hurry over.
The one who had been tracking Liu Yanran was Hong Jian, the young master of the Hong family. Initially, he hadn’t expected to gain anything from this surveillance but was pleasantly surprised that Liu Yanran, usually so well-behaved, had come to a bar to drink away her troubles.
Once Liu Yanran got drunk, he would have his chance.
Time passed quickly; Liu Yanran had lost all sense of time and had already downed five cocktails in quick succession. Having never drunk before, if it weren't for some internal strength protecting her body, she would have likely collapsed by now.
"Bang..." The sound of a glass hitting the floor echoed, revealing that Liu Yanran could no longer handle her seventh drink. She slumped over the bar, her glass slipping from her hand and shattering on the ground.
Although the environment was quite noisy, it did not prevent those around from hearing the sound of the glass breaking. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that they had been watching Liu Yanran's actions all along, so rather than merely hearing the sound, they had seen the glass fall.
Soon, a man approached to help Liu Yanran. Of course, while he pretended to assist her, everyone present understood his true intentions. If someone dared to come to a bar to drown their sorrows and looked as stunning as Liu Yanran, they should be prepared for certain consequences.
The men who had just been egging Liu Yanran on to have another drink now hesitated to approach her, feeling a pang of jealousy in their hearts as they sighed inwardly, "Such a beautiful flower has fallen into the hands of a pig."
This perhaps reflected the conflicting emotions within them.
At that moment, just as the two men were about to touch Liu Yanran, another man stepped in to stop them.
"This woman is not someone you can touch. If you know what's good for you, get lost," he said coldly, completely dismissing the two men.
"Hey... Who do you think you are telling us to leave? What gives you the right?" The two men appeared to be seasoned troublemakers and were not intimidated by this newcomer. They cursed loudly and raised their voices.
In a bar like this, arguments were common; often they escalated fiercely over trivial matters.
"I’m asking you, buddy, where do you come from? Do you really think you can meddle in our business?" Before the newcomer could respond, one of the two men had already called for backup.
The man who had intervened was Tiger, sent by Hong Jian to keep an eye on Liu Yanran. With him around, he would not allow anyone to lay a finger on her. He was experienced in such environments and, backed by Hong Jian, he felt fearless.
In City A, among those so-called bosses who could hold sway in this realm, which one of them wasn't under Hong Jian's influence? Since Tiger had earned Hong Jian's favor, he naturally looked down on everyone else.
"Hmph, you don't know when to quit," Tiger said coldly without any further words.
"What did you say? Brothers, go..." The opponent, clearly an experienced fighter, called his companions to attack as soon as he felt provoked. Four or five people charged towards Tiger.
Seeing their aggressive stance, Tiger remained calm. Someone who could gain favor in front of Hong Jian was certainly not a fool; he didn't take these few people seriously and began to counterattack without haste.
In no time, Tiger had reached Liu Yanran's side, while none of the opponents were left standing.
"You've got guts; don't run away. I'll call our boss to deal with you," one of them said, realizing they had met their match and began to crawl away.
However, before Tiger could respond, the man's leg was already pinned down by someone else's foot. At that moment, Tiger remained still, indicating that it was someone else's doing.
"Oh... Hong Shao is here. These guys really asked for it; they dared to touch a woman that Hong Shao has his eye on." Tiger was momentarily taken aback but quickly recognized the face of his superior, Hong Jian, and hurriedly began to flatter him.
The way he dealt with the man on the ground showed just how ruthless he could be.
"Tiger, you took so long to handle such a small matter." Hong Shao ignored Tiger's smiling face and flattery, expressing his dissatisfaction. Clearly, Hong Shao was not pleased with Tiger's efficiency in this matter.
"Yes, yes, yes! Hong Shao is right; I will improve and strive to meet your expectations in the future," Tiger said, completely changing his previous nonchalance. He nodded repeatedly to show his compliance.
"Alright, at least you didn't mess things up. Now get lost," Hong Shao said after seeing Tiger's good attitude. He then shouted at the person lying on the ground.
With Hong Shao's shout, the man on the ground dared not say anything further and crawled away in a hurry. He truly left in a "rolling" manner.
Everyone had left, and Tiger glanced around before pointing at the still unconscious Liu Yanran, asking, "Hong Shao, what should we do about Miss Yanran?"
"What should we do? Of course, we need to send her back to the Liu Family. My Hong Family and the Liu Family are both prestigious families; we must ensure Yan'er’s safety," Hong Shao replied, preparing to help Liu Yanran.
As for whether they would safely return Liu Yanran to the Liu Family, only heaven knew. However, those watching felt that it was quite precarious.
"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master is very considerate. I'll go get the car; Young Master can support Miss Liu," Tiger quickly chimed in. He certainly didn't dare to help Liu Yanran himself; after all, she was the woman Hong Shao had his eye on, and he knew his place.
"Alright, hurry up," Hong Shao said, pleased that Tiger was being sensible and agreeing with his suggestion.
Tiger left, and Hong Shao immediately stepped forward to assist Liu Yanran. However, seeing her in such a drunken state, he realized that supporting her and carrying her were practically the same; he was prepared to carry her.
"Get lost! You get away from me... Hong Jian!" Although Liu Yanran appeared drunk, she still had some rare clarity. At that moment, her hand was held by Hong Jian, and she quickly resisted trying to break free.
"Yan'er, this is a bar. Don’t be willful. Once we get home, just wait until Grandpa scolds you," Hong Jian said, continuing to play along since he claimed they were taking Liu Yanran back to the Liu Family.
"Hong Jian, why are you here? I don’t want you to help me; I can walk by myself," Liu Yanran said as she shook off the alcohol-induced haze.
"Be good and come back to the Liu Family with me. I promise I won’t let Liu Lao scold you; I’ll explain everything," Hong Jian continued to coax her as he noticed that despite her drunkenness, she still had some awareness.
"I’m not going back to the Liu Family! Get away from me; don’t touch me!" Liu Yanran insisted as she continued to shake off Hong Jian's hand.
"Yan'er..." Hong Jian wanted to say something more, but at that moment, Liu Yanran picked up a glass of alcohol and splashed it onto him.
Hong Jian was unprepared and didn't expect Liu Yanran to pull such a stunt. He couldn't avoid it and ended up drenched.
He had no choice but to find a cloth to wipe himself off. He knew that Liu Yanran still had some awareness at the moment, but once the effects of the alcohol kicked in, she wouldn't continue like this. Therefore, he didn't mind waiting a little longer.
Meanwhile, Liu Yanran picked up her mobile phone and started dialing.
Completely subconsciously, Liu Yanran pressed a series of numbers. If Lin Feng were here, he would immediately realize that the number she dialed was his own mobile phone number.
"Hello..." Lin Feng answered the phone, somewhat helpless after being woken up in the middle of the night.
"Liu Yanran here. I'm at the bar, right here. The address is..." Liu Yanran struggled to maintain her composure, straightening her tongue to tell Lin Feng the address.
Then, her mobile phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. After making the call, she felt a moment of dizziness and could barely hold onto her phone.
After that, Liu Yanran began to act recklessly, determined not to let herself fall asleep.
She knew that if she passed out before Lin Feng arrived, Hong Jian might carry her off somewhere without her knowing.
In fact, Liu Yanran's mental strength was stronger than that of an average person, and she had protective energy around her. Otherwise, if it were someone else who had consumed this much alcohol, they wouldn't be able to maintain their awareness like she did.
