Chapter 71

After finishing the sour and spicy soup, Ye Chenfeng and Tang Xin returned to the villa. After watching Tang Xin walk into her room, Ye Chenfeng called Monkey. He still needed Monkey's help to quickly bring the beauty product to market.

The call was quickly connected, but a muffled voice came from the other end, as if Monkey was drunk: "Hello, who are you? Don't bother me, your grandpa Monkey has no time for you."

"Monkey, what's wrong with you?" Ye Chenfeng frowned and asked.

"Boss? Are you the boss?" Monkey was clearly somewhat delirious from drinking.

Ye Chenfeng didn't want to waste more words and asked for Monkey's address over the phone before hurriedly leaving. With Monkey in such a state, he couldn't get any clear information over the phone. Moreover, Ye Chenfeng regarded Monkey as a brother from the bottom of his heart. Hearing something off in Monkey's tone, he had to go and see what was happening.

Based on Monkey's mumbled response, Ye Chenfeng barely managed to figure out that Monkey was at the Blue Sky Bar.

The Blue Sky Bar was a mid-to-low-end bar in Tianhai, filled with all sorts of people. In Ye Chenfeng's memory, Monkey usually went to high-end bars in Tianhai. This abnormality made Ye Chenfeng even more certain that something must have happened to Monkey.

Inside the Blue Sky Bar, the loud and piercing music was booming, and men and women were dancing to the intense beats. The women were dressed like prostitutes, and the men were moving closer to their targets, groping the women's bodies.

This was a very normal scene in the bar. Everyone was dancing in the dance floor, and even if you didn't know a woman, you could still touch her. The women who came to the bar were particularly open, which was why people said that if you wanted a one-night stand, you should go to a bar.

In a corner of the Blue Sky Bar, Monkey was drinking mixed drinks one after another. Sometimes the rim of the glass didn't align with his mouth, and the drink spilled directly onto his clothes, which were already soaked with alcohol.

Not far away, a woman with a mediocre body and heavy makeup was looking at Monkey. A bald man stood beside her. The woman leaned in and whispered to the man, "Honey, I think we can make some money today. Look at that guy with the sharp face and monkey-like features; he's completely drunk. I'll go up and keep him company and extort some money from him."

This pair of men and women were small-time hooligans and delinquents in the area. They had already extorted many people in the bar, but no one dared to say anything. It was said that the bald man's brother was the president of the Dragon Tooth Gang.

The Dragon Tooth Gang was at best a third-rate gang in Tianhai, with only three or four hundred members. However, even so, ordinary people couldn't afford to offend them. As the saying goes, it's better to lose money than to suffer. If you were extorted, you just had to accept it, as long as nothing happened to you. Everyone had this mindset.

The heavily made-up woman twisted her supposedly slim figure and walked over to Monkey, sitting down beside him. She lifted her leg, which was clad in red stockings, and said in a coquettish voice, "Handsome, why are you drinking alone here? Do you want me to keep you company? I can satisfy all your needs!"

Monkey took a gulp of the mixed drink, the strong alcohol spreading across his taste buds. He looked up at the heavily made-up woman beside him, kicked her off the chair, and shouted, "Go to hell! Your grandpa Monkey never calls for prostitutes, and you should go home and take a piss and look in the mirror."

"Ouch~" The heavily made-up woman fell on her butt and let out a cry of pain.

The bald man, who had been watching from a distance, hurried over, followed by four burly men.

The bald man had nine blue dragons tattooed on his head. He walked up to Monkey with a fierce look on his face and said, "Brother, where are you from? Do you know that the woman you just kicked is my wife? What do you think should be done about this?"

"Ha ha ha—" Monkey let out a laugh, pointing at the bald man and asking, "She's your wife? You let your wife work as a prostitute?"

With a crisp "slap," the bald man slapped Monkey's face and cursed, "Damn it, you bastard, you only cry when you see the coffin. If you can come up with 100,000 yuan today, I won't hold it against you."

A red handprint appeared on Monkey's right cheek, but he still had a smile on his face. He ignored the bald man, picked up the mixed drink on the table, and took another big gulp, his eyes hidden with a hint of pain.

"Don't play dumb with me, kid. You want to drink, don't you? I'll let you drink to your heart's content." The bald man picked up a bucket nearby, emptied the ice, and filled it with a full bucket of alcohol.

He instructed the four burly men behind him, "Make him drink a whole bucket of alcohol."

The four men, hearing the bald man's order, smiled cruelly and walked up to Monkey. They grabbed his head and pushed it into the bucket of alcohol.

Monkey's limbs struggled, but his strength was no match for the four burly men. His head was pushed into the alcohol, and in no time, he felt short of breath, as if he were about to suffocate.

Seeing Monkey's struggles weaken, the bald man said, "Let him come up for a breath, don't suffocate him to death."

The four men lifted Monkey's head out of the alcohol. Monkey's face was flushed, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing was very erratic.

The bald man patted Monkey's face in satisfaction and asked, "How about it? Do you want to enjoy it some more?"

"Spit—"

Monkey spat the mouthful of alcohol directly onto the bald man's face and slurred, "The alcohol is quite good."

The bald man wiped the alcohol off his face and shouted, "Let him enjoy it some more."

Monkey's face showed a bitter smile, and he mumbled, "Live for today, drink for today."

"Gulp, gulp, gulp—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Monkey's head was pushed back into the bucket of alcohol.

"Who do you think I am? Push him down until he's dead." The veins on the bald man's forehead bulged; he was clearly very angry at Monkey's behavior.

The commotion caused by Monkey drew the attention of everyone in the bar, but no one dared to intervene or even watch. Even those who didn't know who the bald man was and initially wanted to stand up for justice were quickly discouraged by the people around them, and they all wilted like frost-bitten eggplants.
