At the bar,
Jiang Cheng beckoned to the waiter who had just served the three men.
"Young Master Jiang."
The waiter hurried over and spoke respectfully.
Jiang Cheng was taken aback. He usually went to top-tier clubs like Heaven on Earth and rarely came to the Red Rose Bar.
He hadn't expected the waiters here to recognize him too. Had his handsome face already become famous everywhere?
The waiter quietly waited for Jiang Cheng to speak, scarcely daring to breathe.
Big Sis had said that Young Master Jiang was to be treated with the same respect as her.
She had also instructed them to report to her immediately whenever Young Master Jiang arrived at Red Rose. She was probably almost here by now.
"Since you recognize me, that makes things easier."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and stopped dwelling on it before asking directly,
"What did those three guests order just now?"
"Two cocktails and one glass of brandy."
The waiter answered without the slightest hesitation.
What kind of status did they have, ordering the same drink as me?!
Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue and waved for the waiter to bring his ear closer...
In the corner,
With the middle-aged man's arrival, the group began talking, completely unaware of the activity at the bar.
The mixed crowd and noisy surroundings concealed everything perfectly.
"Sir, your drinks."
The waiter naturally set the drinks on the table and turned to leave.
Jiang Cheng glanced toward the corner booth. Only after seeing the target drink that glass did the corners of his mouth slowly rise.
It worked!
He then got up and left.
A moment later,
The fair-skinned man in the top hat said something to Bald Man and the others before clutching his stomach and leaving.
"Captain, the target is heading toward the restroom."
Heaven is helping me!
Hearing the voice through her earpiece, Jiang Ruoxue was delighted. The reason she had not dared act directly was because she feared the gun in his hand might accidentally injure civilians.
Now she no longer had to worry about that. She only needed to wait outside.
"However, Young Master Jiang also headed that way just now, and he still hasn't come out."
As soon as those words fell,
Jiang Ruoxue's pretty face turned pale, but she still spoke calmly,
"Control the others immediately."
After saying that, Jiang Ruoxue threw open the car door and rushed straight into the Red Rose Bar.
Meanwhile, inside the private room,
Jiang Cheng sat with one leg crossed over the other, playing with the TT-33 pistol in his hand as he looked at the man whose mouth had been gagged, glaring at him with resentment.
"Brother, you've got some nice gear there. Foreign-made."
The man opened his mouth, but could only make muffled noises.
"A Long, take the rag out of his mouth. Look at him, his face is all red from holding it in."
"Yes, Young Master."
A Long walked over to the man and roughly yanked out the rag.
The man lay on the floor retching, then stared at Jiang Cheng in terror.
"Who are you? Do you know kidnapping is illegal?!"
"You're a drug dealer carrying a pistol. How do you even have the nerve to say that?"
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow and mocked him.
A flicker of panic clearly passed through the man's eyes as he swallowed.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go now."
Jiang Cheng sighed softly. Professional matters really ought to be left to professionals.
Time was life. He had no time to waste on interrogation.
Once he dealt with the people outside, he could just call Jiang Ruoxue.
Suddenly, a crisp slap echoed through the private room.
Slap!!
"You still dare lie to Young Master Jiang."
Slap!!
"Who gave you permission to talk back when Young Master Jiang is speaking?"
Slap!!
"You little punk, one look tells me you're no good."
Several slaps in a row stunned the man—and left Jiang Cheng speechless.
This kid was something else. When there was ass to kiss, he really went all in!
Once he recovered, the man glared viciously at Little Vajra, killing intent pouring from his eyes.
In all these years, this was the first time anyone had slapped him.
Anyone bold enough to deal drugs was ruthless, especially higher-ups like them, whose hands carried more or less a few lives.
And today, he had been slapped by some little thug?
Slap!!
Another heavy slap landed.
"You? You still dare glare at me? You think you can glare at Young Master Jiang's lackey?!"
Little Vajra straightened his back. Behind him, several of his younger brothers stared in disbelief.
No wonder Brother Vajra was so valued by Young Master Jiang. His ass-kissing skills were first-rate.
Every sentence mentioned Young Master Jiang. He was so damn good at it, he was practically kissing the sky!
Even A Long, who had always disdained competing for favor and was usually mature and steady, felt a trace of urgency and crisis.
Damn it, this kid... wasn't he going to threaten his position in the Young Master's heart?
Cough, cough~
Jiang Cheng coughed a few times without changing expression.
Though he hated bootlickers, it was hard not to like a subordinate who spoke so pleasantly and looked so honest.
"Little Vajra, that's enough."
"Yes, yes~"
Little Vajra hurriedly nodded respectfully, then spat at the man and warned him,
"Remember, next time you see Young Master Jiang, kneel and kowtow."
Only after doing all that did Little Vajra happily stand behind Jiang Cheng.
Just as the man was about to curse, A Long knocked him unconscious with one strike. He could only glare resentfully with bloodshot eyes as he collapsed.
"Keep an eye on him."
Jiang Cheng left those words behind and departed the private room with A Long.
Without the pistol, the rest were fish on the chopping block.
"Young Master Jiang, Brother Long, have a safe journey."
Little Vajra bent slightly at the waist, raised his right hand in farewell, and wore a respectful smile.
Jiang Cheng, who had just stepped out the door, stumbled. Why did that sound so strange?
At the same time,
Jiang Ruoxue emerged from the restroom with red-rimmed eyes, looking utterly lost.
She had searched the place thoroughly just now, yet she had not found even a trace of Jiang Cheng.
That eased her mind slightly, but deep down, she was still tense.
Just then, the door of the private room diagonally across from her was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and happened to meet Jiang Ruoxue's gaze. Their eyes locked.
"Jiang... Jiang Cheng?"
Jiang Ruoxue's voice trembled.
Jiang Cheng was surprised. He gave Jiang Ruoxue a puzzled look. Why was this girl coming out of the men's restroom?
Could she... be some kind of peeping tom?
Good thing he hadn't been in there, or his little brother would have been seen in full.
"It's good that you're all right."
Jiang Cheng only felt a fragrant breeze rush toward him. By the time he reacted, Jiang Ruoxue had already wrapped him in a tight embrace and sobbed softly.
Feeling the trembling soft body in his arms, Jiang Cheng was completely baffled.
Still, he gently patted Jiang Ruoxue's back and comforted her. "I'm fine."
Though he had no idea what had happened, it did not stop his instinctive reaction.
Jiang Ruoxue slowly released him. Her exquisite, stunning face was streaked with tears, though the heroic lines of her brows had relaxed considerably.
Jiang Cheng was still savoring the moment. This was the second time he had seen Jiang Ruoxue in a police uniform. The visual impact of her full figure was simply a feast for the eyes.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Cheng knowingly asked, trying to distract himself from the reaction brought on by that wonderful feeling just now.
Phew~
What a sin!
Why did this kind of suffering always fall on him...
