Chapter 68
When she heard the name He Qingchen, Jian Xi's pupils suddenly constricted. For a moment, she forgot about the excruciating pain in her stomach. Yan Sen snapped back to reality, crawled over to Jian Xi, knelt down, and kept kowtowing and shouting, "Miss Jian, you are a great person. Today, I drank too much and was not in my right mind. I heard you were here, and for a moment, I had impure thoughts. I..."
His voice trailed off, then he suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh yes, it was that vile woman, that Li Luxi. She must have told me you and Miss Su were here. She definitely knew about the grudge between us and intentionally misled me. She even specifically said that you were the only one drinking juice in the private room!"
"Please forgive me this time. From now on, I will stay far, far away and never offend your eyes again!"
"Please, great one, forgive this insignificant person's transgression. Could you forgive me just this once? Please don't tell Mr. He about this, I beg you!"
As he spoke, Yan Sen kowtowed in front of Jian Xi, but she didn't move, allowing him to keep kowtowing.
Jian Xi frowned. It seemed her guess was correct - there really was something involving that woman. She gave Su Yinghe a look, and Su Yinghe nodded slightly before heading towards the private room.
Soon after, Li Luxi was dragged out by her, accompanied by the manager of Jinse Club who had rushed over from the stairs, along with the server who had delivered the fruit juice.
In fact, the server had also been forced into a difficult position, so he had pretended to accept the bribe. However, he couldn't switch out the fruit juice, so he had hurried to inform the manager about the situation.
When the manager learned of this incident, he was so terrified that he stumbled over in a panic. He knew who the lady Miss Su had brought today was - not only was she He Qingchen's sister, but even without the He family's status, her position in the upper circles was quite renowned!
Many prestigious families had issued warnings that anyone who dared offend that lady would be making an enemy of them!
It seemed only this newly-returned young master from abroad was foolish enough to do such a reckless thing. Although the Yan family's second young master had always been an idler, if only he had inquired about Jian Xi after returning to the country instead of frequenting pleasure houses, he wouldn't have made such a stupid mistake and provoked her!
By the time the Jinse Club manager rushed over those few steps, he had already cursed out Yan Sen's ancestry eight ways to Sunday in his mind!
As long as they didn't implicate him, he didn't care if they were seeking death! If the He family found out about this, Jinse Club would likely disappear from City B the next day!
However, he never expected Jian Xi to be so understanding. After learning that he was the manager and about the server's actions, she didn't give them any trouble and told them to stand aside and wait.
"Little Seven," Su Yinghe called out to Jian Xi, then extended her slender finger towards the fallen Yan Sen.
Jian Xi shook her head helplessly, gave an affirmative hum, and pressed Yan Sen's mute pressure point again.
Then, two cracks echoed through the hallway!
There were no cries of pain, not only because his mute pressure point had been struck, but also because he had instantly passed out!
"Ah! What are you going to do?" Li Luxi's face turned pale from the scene, frightened. When Su Yinghe dragged her out, she already sensed that something was wrong, but her phone and purse were still in the private room, so she had no way to call for help! Hearing her scream, Jian Xi finally looked at her directly and asked curiously, "Miss Li, I have a question for you."
Li Luxi's voice trembled, "You, you want to ask what?"
"Do I know you?" Jian Xi looked at her seriously.
Li Luxi nearly fainted from anger upon hearing those words. So Jian Xi really didn't take her seriously at all!
Of course, Jian Xi had no idea what Li Luxi was thinking at the time. If she had known, she would have undoubtedly said, "Why would I take you seriously? Who are you?"
"Miss Jian truly has a poor memory. The last time, when you went shopping with Miss He, we met at the perfume shop," Li Luxi gritted her teeth in 'reminder'.
With that reminder, it only took Jian Xi less than a minute to recall - it was that woman with the overpowering perfume scent that made her sneeze repeatedly.
"Oh, I remember now. But I didn't say a single word to you then. Why did you try to harm me today?" Jian Xi asked curiously, unable to figure out why Li Luxi would harbor a grudge against her when they had never spoken.
Li Luxi had been forcibly dragged into the game earlier by Li Shujing and the others and had also drank quite a bit, so the alcohol was starting to take effect. Forgetting the scene she had just witnessed, she retorted, "You said I tried to harm you? For what reason? I can't touch He Qingru, so how could I do anything to a little girl like you? Besides, I didn't do anything to you. What evidence do you have that I did something to you?"
She became more agitated as she spoke. "You're just acquainted with He Qingru, oh no, and the great lady of the Su family too. Would they really make their families move against the Yan and Wang families for your sake?"
As she said this, the fallen Yan Sen had just regained consciousness. He shook his head desperately, [Stupid vile woman, don't drag our Yan family into this, damn it, vile woman!]
But alas, he couldn't make a sound, and his limbs had been broken by Su Yinghe, leaving him utterly helpless and unable to call for heaven or earth's aid!
Jian Xi smiled wryly. Ah! Here was another coward who only dared bully the weak.
After learning why Li Luxi harbored such resentment towards her, Jian Xi was too speechless to even open her mouth - she was utterly speechless!
Not only Jian Xi, but even Su Yinghe was rarely stunned for such a long time.
What kind of reasoning was this? Were these people's brains diseased or something?
Su Yinghe lost her temper and kicked Li Luxi against the opposite wall with such force that even the paintings hanging on the wall fell down.
Li Luxi was instantly knocked unconscious.
The hallway fell silent. Su Yinghe asked Jian Xi, "How do you want to deal with these two?"
Jian Xi tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm, I'm an officer now, so I can't do anything illegal. Let's call the police!"
She had already informed Su Yinghe about joining the official organization. Since Su Yinghe didn't have any further comments, she glanced towards the Jinse Club manager waiting in the corner and asked, "Do you know what to do?"
The manager's voice trembled as he respectfully replied, "Don't worry, Miss Jian and Miss Su. We have evidence and witnesses. I'll hand everything over to the police shortly."
Su Yinghe gave an affirmative hum, then left with Jian Xi. However, before they departed, two more cracks echoed through the hallway.
Since you two were birds of a feather, you might as well share the same fate!
