Chapter 59

Are you afraid?

Are you afraid yourself?

Hao Meng did not admit that he was afraid. Wasn't it just that his face showed a slight unnaturalness? This definitely wasn't fear; it was concern, right!

This little wife is a demon. No, today I almost fell for her trick. From now on, I must be more cautious.

There are so many beautiful women around, Xu Meng and Chen Yuqing don't need to be mentioned, they are definitely at the level of national school beauties. At home, Elder Sister Xiao Yuyun is also at the level of a city's most beautiful woman, though she usually doesn't smile much and appears cold. Even Wei Shufen's appearance is much better than Chang Mei's. Why did I almost have feelings for her today?

Could it be, as the book says, that the flowers at home are not as fragrant as those in the wild, and what you can't have is more appealing than what you have in your mouth?

Hao Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Damn, I'm not a saint, just an ordinary person with all the human emotions and desires. So, this isn't too big of a flaw, right?

"Ti Niu, let's go!" Hao Meng went upstairs, took a shower, changed into the clothes he got from Chang Mei's store, and called Ti Niu, who had run to the corner of the wall, to come down.

"Sure thing!"

The two of them hailed a taxi at the door and headed straight for the Da Fu Hao.

Da Fu Hao is a well-known KTV, with a starting price of 888 yuan for a private room. At first glance, the price seems quite high, but a room can fit about ten people, so on average, it's only a few dozen yuan per person. The sound system, lighting, and decor are all high-end, making it the perfect choice for large gatherings.

Most importantly, Zhou Tao's father has shares in this place, so he can sign the bill here.

After paying the taxi fare, Ti Niu followed Hao Meng. No matter how fast Hao Meng walked, Ti Niu always lagged behind by two steps. Hao Meng didn't notice at first, but later he felt something was off.

Hao Meng turned to look at Ti Niu and asked with a half-smile, "You weren't a professional bodyguard before, were you?"

"Boss, I used to be a bricklayer on construction sites!" Ti Niu replied honestly.

Hao Meng rolled his eyes and walked into Da Fu Hao.

"Welcome, how many people, sir?" A pretty waitress approached with a warm smile.

"Just the two of us. Has Zhou Tao arrived?" Hao Meng asked with a smile. This waitress was unfamiliar, probably new. Of course, it could also be that he hadn't been here for a long time and had forgotten her.

"He hasn't arrived yet, but he has already made arrangements. He booked the 'Tian Ren Ge' private room. Shall I take you there?" The waitress smiled, knowing they were Zhou Tao's guests.

Hao Meng was about to nod but suddenly saw a familiar face. He smiled and said, "No need, I'll go there later. You go about your business!" Then he led Ti Niu into the hall. The hall had a dance floor and booths. Men paid 100 yuan, women were free, and seating was free, but drinks were charged. However, at least one-third of the women here were employed by Da Fu Hao as bar girls!

Da Fu Hao has three floors, each about 500 square meters. Except for the first floor, the upper two floors are all private rooms. Except for the first floor, you need to book a room in advance to play, as there isn't always space available every day.

Sun Rao happened to turn around and saw Hao Meng and Ti Niu walk in. Men usually have to pay first to enter the hall, but no one asked Hao Meng and Ti Niu, probably because some waitress had already told the bar. The events from last night were still fresh in her mind, and seeing Hao Meng made her heart skip a beat.

Today, she had already had the bicycle she damaged appraised, and it was indeed quite expensive.

"Sister Rao, what's wrong?" A young girl next to her, noticing her unease, gently pushed her and whispered.

This was her new friend, Zhou Ming, whom she had just met. Thinking about having her here, she felt more secure and her nervousness subsided.

She leaned in and whispered to Zhou Ming, "Did you see those two men in white T-shirts who just came in? The shorter one with the buzz cut is the bastard who hit my car last night and tried to extort me. I don't know if he's here for me!"

Zhou Ming turned to look and said coldly, "Don't worry, Da Fu Hao is our territory. I'll make sure to beat him up. How dare he follow you!"

"Will something happen?" Sun Rao was a bit worried, as she hadn't yet figured out who this guy was. If he turned out to be some rich kid, she might not be able to stay in Shicheng.

"What could happen? If anything goes wrong, it's on me!" Zhou Ming said carelessly.

Hao Meng and Ti Niu didn't go anywhere else but walked directly toward Sun Rao. A chance encounter is better than a planned meeting. Since they met, how could he not say hello, especially since his bicycle was still in her hands!

"Do you recognize me?"

Sun Rao felt more confident now. Looking at Hao Meng and Ti Niu's clothes, though of good quality, they were clearly knock-offs and cheap, probably not worth more than 200 yuan in total. They didn't seem like rich people.

She looked at Hao Meng coldly and said, "Who are you?"

Hao Meng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You remember the food but not the beating. Or do you think I won't hold it against you for repeatedly disrespecting me?"

Sun Rao's face changed, and she shouted, "How dare you insult me!"

"I'll insult you today, you bitch. Do you think I won't dare to hit you?" Hao Meng's face darkened.

"Bluffing, if you touch a hair on Sister Rao, I'll make you crawl out of Da Fu Hao!" Zhou Ming chimed in from the side.

Hao Meng turned to look at her. She was in her early twenties, with big eyes and a round face, giving a fresh impression, but he didn't understand how she ended up with this woman. He smiled and said, "Miss, this has nothing to do with you!"

"How can it not be my business? You're bullying my good friend. Come on, you guys, beat him up! I'll take responsibility!" Zhou Ming waved to a few tattooed men who looked tough. They were the hall's security.

They all knew who Zhou Ming was. Hearing the call, they didn't dare to hesitate and quickly surrounded them, ready to attack without a word.

"Ah, my mother!"

The young man at the front, who tried to grab Hao Meng, was thrown to the ground by Ti Niu with a shoulder throw before he even knew what happened, crying out in pain.

Ti Niu stood in the middle, blocking the group from advancing.

"Damn, don't be reckless!" Hao Meng was taken aback by the situation. He looked at Zhou Ming in surprise and asked, "Who are you?" With one command, all the security on the first floor of Da Fu Hao gathered.

Zhou Ming rolled her eyes and said, "Who cares who I am? You tried to extort me yesterday, and today you dare to come to Da Fu Hao. I'll beat you up and then call the police to have you arrested!"

Hao Meng was taken aback and smiled bitterly, realizing why these two could get along. One was unreasonable, and the other was tyrannical—what a perfect match!
