Jiang Feng was quite surprised that Situ Jingjie could endure so much and still look at him calmly.
"Jiang Feng, to be honest, I came to find you today at the behest of the Old Master."
Situ Jingjie, suppressing his anger, coldly stared at Jiang Feng and said, "So, name your conditions. As long as they're not too outrageous, I can agree to them."
Jiang Feng chuckled, "You want to offer some benefits to drive a wedge between me and Situ Yan?"
"It's nothing personal!" Situ Jingjie clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, "If I don't complete the task the Old Master assigned, I won't be able to answer for it, and if I can't answer for it, it will surely deduct points from me in the Old Master's eyes, jeopardizing my future! So if you don't know when to back down, you'll be forcing me to break off all relations with you."
"Situ Jingjie, I'll give you one last warning."
Jiang Feng said blandly, "Situ Yan and I are not in the kind of relationship you imagine, but our friendship isn't as shallow as you think either. Instead of wasting words with me here, you'd better advise your family's Old Master—he still has time to change his mind, or else his sixty-third birthday will be a mark of disgrace!"
"Jiang Feng, you're being audacious!" Situ Jingjie couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, glaring at Jiang Feng, "So, you're really going to refuse my olive branch?"
Situ Jingjie's agitation drew the attention of many people in the bar, who turned their eyes to the two of them.
But Jiang Feng remained expressionless, looking at him calmly, unperturbed.
"Remember, as long as I'm here, you won't set foot in the Situ Family's doorstep tomorrow. Your smartest move is to withdraw voluntarily! Otherwise, should things get real tomorrow, you won't look good either!"
Having finished speaking coldly, Situ Jingjie left straight away, as staying here meant nothing; talking to Jiang Feng was like speaking to a wall!
The chaotic bar quickly returned to its noise and no one cared about this little incident.
Jiang Feng sat upright in his seat, quietly finished his last glass of water, as steady as a rock.
...
Meanwhile, in another corner of the bar.
Not far from Jiang Feng, a lone woman was sitting by herself on the sofa, continuously pouring alcohol into her mouth.
If Jiang Feng's gaze could reach here, he would immediately recognize this woman as the one he had saved twice, Mu Yanluo!
At this moment, Mu Yanluo had completely let herself go.
She had abandoned her usual elegant and ancient charm, wearing only a pair of very short hot pants and a sleeveless black tank top, lifting a crystal-clear fair jade foot to rest on the coffee table, highlighting her sleek, white, long legs.
Because her booth was also close to the dance floor, a seven-colored neon light ball spun continuously above her head, casting light on her fair skin, making her even more graceful and glamorous.
She seemed to have drunk quite a bit already, her fair cheeks were already flushed, but she still held a bottle of alcohol, taking a sip now and then to relieve her melancholy.
In front of her, all kinds of drinks—white wine, red wine, beer... were all laid out, making onlookers feel dizzy.
Clearly, Mu Yanluo was deliberately here to get drunk tonight.
The reason was simple, she had been enduring intense psychological torment recently.
On one hand, she still wanted to hire someone to kill Jiang Feng to avenge her brother, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to do it because Jiang Feng had saved her life twice!
In such a strong struggle and pain, she was unable to extricate herself and could only drown her sorrows in alcohol.
As for why she came to South City, it was simple; she didn't want acquaintances to recognize her, as she still wanted to maintain her dignity as a teacher.
At this moment, she was half-drunk and had blurred vision, unaware that several lustful eyes in the VIP Seat Area opposite had already been set on her!
In that VIP Seat Area, a few young men of prominent status were sitting, who were originally there to seek romance.
Although there were many beauties in this bar, none had the enchanting charm like Mu Yanluo, alluring to the point of national infamy while exuding boundless allure.
"Young Master Le, how about it? That girl is a real gem; we've been to Blue Bar so many times, and this is the first time we've seen someone like her!"
A cunning, slick young man said to one of the affluent young men sitting in the center, "And she seems to be in a bad mood, drinking alone to drown her sorrows. This is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
The affluent young man in the center didn't take his eyes off Mu Yanluo's fair, incendiary figure for a moment, smiling contentedly, "Drinking alone is no fun, let's bring her over and have some fun together."
"Got it!"
The cunning young man exchanged glances with another companion, stood up together, and walked towards Mu Yanluo.
"Hey beautiful, alone here?"
Amidst the blaring DJ music, the two brazenly approached Mu Yanluo and said with a smile.
Mu Yanluo was already in a bad mood, and now seeing these two with wicked smiles approaching, she was even more disgusted.
She withdrew her beautiful leg and tried to sit up straight to go to the bathroom to avoid them, but she didn't expect the two to sit down on both sides of her and intentionally grab her arms.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Mu Yanluo was suddenly a bit angry, trying to break free from their grasp.
She was really annoyed! She wanted to indulge herself after being depressed for a long time, but was it so hard?
"Hey, beautiful, what's bothering you? Drinking alone is no fun. Why not join us in our booth? We'll introduce you to a big young master, and maybe after getting close to him, you'll feel much better," the cunning young man said with a smile.
"Let go of me, or I'll scream!" Mu Yanluo said angrily.
In terms of age, these two young men were actually about the same as the students she taught at school, so the current situation seemed like bad students teasing her, the teacher.
This feeling doubled her shame!
Of course, it was also her fault for dressing so young today, making it impossible to see any age or identity gap, rather appearing as an exquisitely alluring woman, drawing much desire.
"Haha, scream all you want; no one will come to save you!"
The other young man laughed, "Do you even know what kind of place this is? Coming to a place like this, haven't you mentally prepared to be played with? Stop wasting your breath, look at you now, drunk as a skunk, if you don't cooperate, we'll just carry you over there!"
"How dare you! Ah... no!"
The two young men ignored Mu Yanluo's strong resistance and directly lifted her up, carrying her towards the VIP Seat Area opposite.
The poor Mu Yanluo, if not drunk, might have been able to call for help or struggle free.
But now, she was drunk, dizzy, and exhausted, unable to break free from the forceful drag of the two hooligans, and could only be carried over with much stumbling.
Just at this moment, Jiang Feng had just finished his drink and stood up, ready to leave the bar.
He suddenly saw this scene and slightly frowned.
