Bai Yan rose to his feet, looking ahead.
With such a major incident occurring, the security guards of the Radisson Flagpole Garden Hotel had rushed out long before, but as Bai Yan turned his head, they couldn't help but uniformly take a step back, faces filled with fear.
Could it be that this young man from Hua Xia, who didn't look very old, was a master of Chinese Martial Arts?
The security guards couldn't help but swallow their saliva nervously.
If this tough guy caused a big scene here, it wasn't just their jobs that were at small risk; they were afraid they'd also get a beating from Bai Yan.
But Li Feiwu was a high-level member of the hotel, and if they pretended not to see what happened, their jobs would still be at risk!
In the end, it was Fu Chao and the others who stepped forward. They handed out tips and pulled out their high-level membership cards, each hugging a security guard, and cheerily pulled them aside to deal with the aftermath.
"Hey, is this Lao Liu?..."
Another rich offspring, Zhang Kailei, took out his phone, called his lawyer directly, and notified the hotel manager to properly settle the matter.
It must be said that this group of rich kids did have their own set of ways to deal with aftermaths.
Bai Yan smiled and didn't even bother to look at Liu Shanshan and the Li Feiwu, who was lying on the ground in pain, direcrly stepping past the two and walking into the hotel.
Liu Shanshan watched as Bai Yan disappeared into the Radisson Flagpole Garden Hotel, surrounded by Fu Chao and the others.
Her face showed loss; she took out her phone and called for help to take away Li Feiwu, who had already fainted.
Without a doubt, this casual encounter tonight had struck a huge blow in Liu Shanshan's heart due to Bai Yan's transformation.
She was unsure if advising her friend to break up with Bai Yan back then was the right or wrong thing to do.
For a time, Liu Shanshan was somewhat bewildered.
But suddenly, there was a realization in her heart; perhaps, Bai Yan... was no longer the Bai Yan of the past.
Li Feiwu was like an interlude—a waste that even Fu Chao and the others looked down on; how could he be worthy of Bai Yan's concern?
It was his brother, Li Feiwu, who truly deserved Bai Yan's "concern".
After three rounds of drinks, Bai Yan suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Fu Chao, inquiring, "I heard that you have a pretty good relationship with Li Feiwen?"
Bai Yan's expression was very calm, showing no sign of happiness or anger.
"Haha, just call me Xiao Chao, Brother Yan."
Fu Chao was taken aback, chuckled, and said, "I guess I can't say I'm close to him, just that we're from the same circle; we run into each other from time to time."
Zhang Kailei, who was more slick, noticed that Bai Yan seemed very concerned about Li Feiwen and, considering the affair of Jin Xuanxuan being snatched away by Li Feiwen...
Did the enmity between these two men need any further explanation?
"Brother Yan, we really don't have much to do with Li Feiwen. He doesn't often come to school, and he's pretty low-key, not easy to get in touch with."
Zhang Kailei coughed and introduced, "If Brother Yan is interested... should I send someone to check out Li Feiwen's background?"
This background check naturally wasn't about investigating Li Feiwen's family history, but rather about finding out about Li Feiwen's daily life, the places he frequented, and his habits.
Bai Yan was silent for a while, didn't say anything, but just gave a faint nod.
Fu Chao and others exchanged looks, all seeing the unmistakable shock in each other's eyes.
Everyone wasn't stupid; the question Zhang Kailei asked Bai Yan was actually probing whether Bai Yan was planning to make a move on Li Feiwen.
After all, who didn't know the family background of Li Feiwen? These rich kids like Fu Chao didn't like to offend him, let alone Bai Yan, a mere poor student?
But not only did Bai Yan not reject Zhang Kailei's suggestion, he even tacitly agreed.
What does that tell you?
Does it mean Bai Yan is a naïve youth crazed by love? Don't be joking, is Bai Yan that kind of person?
Either Bai Yan is an ignorant fool!
Or Bai Yan is a big shot with a mysterious background who needn't fear the family background of Li Feiwen!
Fu Chao and the others silently calculated in their hearts, exchanging glances with one another, but helplessly realizing the more they interacted with Bai Yan, the less they could grasp his temperament and background.
What's his story? How does he dare to settle accounts with Li Feiwen?
Judging by Bai Yan's way of handling things, he doesn't seem like a man who would rashly take risks just because of some green tea bitch!
Could it be that there's something hidden that we don't know about?
Fu Chao and the others furrowed their brows even more deeply, and in their hearts, they dared not underestimate Bai Yan any longer.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet table in the private room became a bit silent, with only Chen Yudong, that kid, eating joyfully, living the carefree life.
What does he have to worry about?
Bai Yan is his brother; isn't it enough to just hold onto those coattails?
They say smart people think too much, Bai Yan could roughly guess the scheming in the minds of Fu Chao and the other guys, but he couldn't be bothered to explain.
Call me a lunatic or a fool, say I come from a rich family playing dumb to snatch the tiger—whatever!
In any case, Li Feiwen has tied up my score, and I'm definitely going to settle it!
Bai Yan swirled the red wine in his hand. He couldn't appreciate the wine, nor entertain highbrow interests, so he simply gulped it down in one go.
Just when the atmosphere at the wine table had suddenly turned weirdly silent, an unexpected ringtone shattered the stillness.
"Grandson~ your grandpa is calling! Ding-a-ling-a-ling! Grandson~ your grandpa is calling!"
The unique ringtone sounded.
Several pairs of eyes simultaneously shot over.
Chen Yudong quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his greasy lips with some embarrassment and smiled, "This... it's my phone."
Fu Chao smiled and gave Chen Yudong a thumbs-up, the meaning was self-evident.
"Haha, come on, drink up!"
"Brother Yan, I toast to you!"
Regardless, the ringtone managed to break the sudden awkwardness, as Fu Chao and others laughed and smooth things over.
No matter what the grievances between Bai Yan and Li Feiwen were, Fu Chao was set on befriending Bai Yan.
The atmosphere at the wine table came back.
However, Chen Yudong, who was on the phone, suddenly exclaimed, "You're looking for Bai Yan?"
"Who's looking for me?"
Bai Yan curiously asked; since being kidnapped last night, his cellphone and student card had all been burned, and he hadn't yet had the chance to replace them.
If anyone else wanted to contact Bai Yan, they had to go through Chen Yudong now.
Fu Chao and the others looked over curiously as well, as far as they knew, Chen Yudong was Bai Yan's only good friend at school. Who would be calling him at this time?
Chen Yudong passed over the phone with a face full of grief, as if his parents had died, his heart aching so much that he couldn't finish his sentences.
"Why are you hesitating so much?"
Bai Yan frowned, took the phone and casually asked, "Who on earth is looking for me?"
"It's... it's An... An Xiaowan looking for you."
Chen Yudong's face was filled with melancholy, like a young man who had just been through a breakup.
With those words, the whole room fell silent.
Fu Chao's chopsticks fell to the floor, Zhang Kailei opened his mouth wide, and the other second-generation rich were all wearing a look of astonishment.
