68: Chapter 68: Situations Dominate Over Man_1 68: Chapter 68: Situations Dominate Over Man_1 To be honest, Li Changlin was his good brother, and now this was his workplace, so if he hadn’t seen it, it wouldn’t have mattered; but having seen Li Changlin being beaten so badly, Gao Yuanming couldn’t just stand by idly.
“What happened, A Ming?” At that moment, the head of the bar security also hurried over with his team.
About a dozen tall and burly enforcers, each holding a baton, glared coldly at Jiang Xinwei and his group.
If Gao Yuanming hadn’t intervened, these people certainly would not have gotten involved.
But after all, Gao Yuanming was a bar employee, and he got along pretty well with the head of security, often addressing the bouncers as brothers on a regular basis.
So seeing Gao Yuanming step in, these people naturally came out to back him up.
“Brother Tian,” Gao Yuanming called out respectfully, and then pointed at Li Changlin, “These people are bullying my brother.”
“And me!” Beside him, Lin Ruolan complained discontentedly.
Gao Yuanming gave an awkward smile and nodded apologetically at Lin Ruonan as a way of greeting.
“You guys looking to pick a fight?” Jiang Xingwei asked the head of security coldly.
“I don’t care if you want to fight, but please don’t cause trouble in the bar,” the head of security frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy, as he sensed Jiang Xingwei might be someone significant.
Those who hang around the nightlife scene, particularly someone who could hold the position of head of security, tended to be quite sharp.
He certainly wasn’t as impulsive as the common riffraff or enforcers.
Although he did have a connection with Gao Yuanming, that wasn’t something he could eat.
Why should he back Gao Yuanming up when he knew the other party was not to be trifled with?
Besides, it wasn’t Gao Yuanming who was causing the trouble, but merely one of his friends.
The head of security certainly didn’t believe that Li Changlin was really Gao Yuanming’s blood brother!
However, there needed to be some semblance of face-saving, so the head of security couldn’t outright say he wouldn’t get involved.
Even so, Jiang Xingwei still felt his pride was hurt.
He didn’t even take Sky Horse Bar into consideration, and a mere head bouncer of Sky Horse Bar, despite being a leader, what right did he have to speak to him in such a manner!
Jiang Xingwei couldn’t be bothered with this guy, dealing with a bouncer was simply beneath his dignity.
“Get this straight; it was this guy who started it!” Jiang Xingwei kept mum, but a young man standing by his side pointed at Li Changlin and started shouting.
The head of security’s frown deepened; he looked at the other party and immediately recognized this person as a frequent customer of the bar.
The head of security found himself in quite the quandary, unsure of how to handle the current situation.
He had recognized that whether it was the three young men standing by Jiang Xingwei’s side or the two lying on the ground, they were all familiar to him.
Thus, the head of security knew that these people were definitely regulars at Sky Horse Bar, and not just that, they were VIP members.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have remembered them at all.
Because of the need to protect the interests of VIP members, the bar owner had instructed the security department to remember the information of VIP members.
Although Jiang Xingwei seemed somewhat unfamiliar, the circumstances implied that these people were following his lead.
In such a case, the situation became hard to control.
Especially since Li Changlin was the one who had struck first, making it even harder for the head of security to make a decision.
“Brother Tian, what’s going on?” Just as the head of security was struggling to decide, Manager Song from the first floor walked over quickly.
“Manager Song,” both the head of security and Gao Yuanming called out promptly.
Manager Song was a relative of the bar owner and held considerable influence on the first floor.
Manager Song nodded casually, first assessing the situation before waving his hand and saying, “We’ll talk about the rest later, Brother Tian, arrange for someone to take the injured customers to the hospital for treatment immediately.”
A manager is a manager for a reason; he knew how to prioritize matters.
Although it was still unknown how the trouble had started, a customer getting injured in the bar was a serious issue that had to be handled with great care.
“Okay.” The head of security hurriedly agreed, then called over several subordinates and instructed them to take the two injured men to the nearest hospital for treatment straight away.
As his men lifted his brothers away, Jiang Xingwei remained silent.
Yan Xueyi and the others had sustained rather serious injuries and Jiang Xingwei was worried they might be in trouble; since the bar had shown their stance, he naturally would not object.
“Or shall we change the location for our talk?” As soon as the head of security had organized everything, Manager Song looked at Li Changlin and Jiang Xingwei with a smile.
“We can talk here,” Jiang Xingwei hummed coldly, then pulled out his cellphone from the pocket of his clothes.
“Perhaps you shouldn’t make that call?” Manager Song said with narrow eyes and a chuckle.
“My last name is Jiang,” Jiang Xingwei looked up at Manager Song, a mocking expression on his face.
“The Jiangs?” Manager Song frowned slightly; he knew exactly what that surname meant in Jincheng!
The Jiang Family was a prominent clan, one of the three great families of Jincheng.
This family wielded immense power, and it was rumored that they had connections even in the provincial capital, commanding respect from both the legal and the underground worlds.
“That’s right, Jiang is my surname,” Jiang Xingwei snorted softly and then asked calmly, “May I make my call now?”
“Please do, please do,” Manager Song said with an embarrassed smile, not daring to voice any objection.
“The situation is becoming a bit complicated,” Gao Yuanming turned his head and whispered to Li Changlin.
“I knew they were no ordinary people right from the start,” Li Changlin shrugged his shoulders in frustration, the day’s events turning out to be quite troublesome and now he wasn’t even sure how to resolve them.
“Then why did you start a fight?” Gao Yuanming asked with a frustrated twist of his mouth, unable to believe that Li Changlin could be so foolish!
“That guy, he offered 200,000 just to have Lin Ruonan join him for coffee!” Li Changlin gritted his teeth and said coldly.
Heartless bastard, he thought; his kicks had been too light.
“Damn, he deserved it!” Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanming couldn’t stay calm any longer.
How dare he target Lin Ruonan, that’s unforgivable!
“That’s why I kicked him, but it looks like the other side has quite the backing.” Li Changlin had clearly heard the conversation between Jiang Xingwei and Manager Song.
Seeing that Manager Song had given up on preventing Jiang Xingwei from making a call after hearing a surname, Li Changlin realized that their opponent might even be a big shot that not even Sky Horse Bar could afford to provoke.
But what was done was done, and there was no point in regretting it.
After Jiang Xingwei finished his call, Li Changlin spoke up and said, “Manager Song, we should still call the police about this.”
“Call the police?” Upon hearing this, nearly everyone looked over as if they were staring at a fool.
Brothers, that’s all for today.
If you have free tickets, please help out and take a walk.
We’ll continue the explosion tomorrow!
