Chapter 52 Night Bar

The street where Night Bar was located was the busiest area of Shuangta City. Due to the presence of the g**g of the South, no one dumb enough to dare to start a fight here.

Plus, because d**g-dealing, smuggling, and collecting protection money were banned here by g**g of the South, compared with other places lacking in legal supervision, more and more ordinary law-abiding people were attracted here.

Although it was eight in the evening, the nightlife of this border city just kicked off. However, all the beer plazas and outdoor street food stalls had already been filled with people.

At the moment, there were three young men drinking beer at a street-side table in the beer plaza across from Night Bar. Their eyes were locked on Night Bar.

Few people dared to sit around them as one of them was a burly man of nearly two meters high.

Even if one or two men were bold enough to sit near them, when their eyes met the burly man's eyes, they just quickly stood up and moved to sit as far away from the burly man as they could.

Those three were Lu Yao, Wang Ping, and Buick who would investigate Night Bar tonight.

Wang Ping, the oldest and most experienced one among them, was busy arranging their operation plan.

"Lu Yao, you and Buick will stagger your time to enter the bar. I'll stay on the outside to come to your aid. You should be really careful as we haven't got anything about Qian Hu yet." Wang Ping ordered again, "After getting in, you should check the situation inside. If Qian Hu isn't there, take Bao Tianyi out of the bar; if Qian Hu's there, you should stand down. We'd rather call off the operation than mess it up. Understand?"

"Relax, Brother Wang. I know what to do. We'll accomplish the task successfully." Never had Lu Yao had any alcohol, so he drank water instead even at the beer plaza.

"I worry more about Buick than you, whereas, Buick, just restrain your bad temper. Under no circumstances shall you act on impulse. Always remember to see the big picture clear." Patting Buick on his shoulder, Wang Ping said with a serious expression.

"Take it easy. I know what to do." After gulping down the beer, Buick said proudly, "Anyway, don't you know that I really want to fight with Qian Hu after you and Dahui told me about him."

"Good. Now it's five to nine. Buick, you enter the bar first, and Lu Yao will enter there in five minutes. You two only have an hour and a half to accomplish the task and leave there at 10:30 pm. Here we go!" Buick's answer reassured Wang Ping a little, and he announced that the operation started after glimpsing his watch.

Buick was the first to get in the bar as he stumbled towards the bar with a half-bottle of beer in his hand.

Although Buick looked scary, he was a Hazak man who feigned himself as a drunkard. After the two gangsters at the door asked him some questions, Buick was allowed to get in.

Because, in Shuangta City, it was widely known that Hazak men were born as boozy guys. They took alcohol like drinking water, so Hazak men like Buick could easily make people believe that they were just drunkards.

At nine, Lu Yao saw Bao Tianyi stepped into the bar with a crowd of people as shown in the files provided by Wang Ping.

After exchanging looks with Wang Ping, he followed Bao Tianyi and got in the bar.

Night Bar was more of a big nightclub than a bar, which was an integration of entertainments like dancing, alcohol-drinking, Karaoke-singing, and so on.

There was an extremely huge dancing floor in the middle of the first floor, which was surrounded by some small booths. Due to the time, most people were sitting in the booths, waiting for the night shows, chatting, and giggling, except some young men and women had already danced to the music at the mercy of hormones.

It was the first time for Lu Yao to get in a bar where the loud music and noise made by people in all kinds of grotesque clothes really gave him a headache.

On account of the important task, he forced himself to be led by a waiter to a quieter and lonelier corner and sat down.

Although Lu Yao didn't drink alcohol, he ordered two beers and a plate of melon seeds, because if he only ordered water here, he would be kicked out soon by the gangsters supervising the bar.

After the waiter left, Lu Yao started to find Buick and Brother Yi in the noisy environment.

Soon he found Buick lying slantingly on a sofa near the door as he ordered several beers. Buick glanced around the bar while drinking the beer.

Lu Yao was a teenager, and he didn't dress as a rich boy, while Buick was afraid that he would look too conspicuous because of his physique and appearance, so they didn't go to the second floor. Instead, they stayed on the first floor to watch the people.

About twenty minutes later, Lu Yao had sized up all the people on the first floor. Everything was normal except some gangsters.

As more and more people got in the bar, people started to go to the second floor. Lu Yao decided to go to the second floor for the restroom. Also, he could secretly look into the second floor.

When Lu Yao was about to go upstairs, he saw a man who could piss him off Ma Jingxue.

Lu Yao saw Ma Jingxue and his friends who were dressed like hooligans walk out of a big suite on the second floor. They stood at the balcony and lit one another's cigarette. Mocking lewdly, they pointed at the women dancing on the dance floor.

Hearing their dirty words, Lu Yao felt sick as he thought of Ma Qingwen who was in hospital and poor Aunt Wang.

All the children in the world were treasured by their parents, no matter how old the kids were. However, some ignorant pricks delighted in ruining their own life and their parents' love.

Although Aunt Wang's family was much richer than Lu Yao's, they were poor enough to live in the gutter, whereas Ma Jingxue acted as a spendthrift.

Although Lu Yao was angry, right now he had no time to educate Ma Jingxue because Ma Jingxue was just a nobody in the operation.

Ma Jingxue and his friends went back to the suite again after they had finished smoking cigarettes.

And Lu Yao found there were a couple of young men who were dressed up like Ma Jingxue there in the suite chatting and eating melon seeds.

Lu Yao found something was wrong here. Although Night Bar was a large one, there were too many gangsters here to supervise the bar tonight. And Lu Yao couldn't help wondering if something else would happen.

Upon thinking that, Lu Yao instantly stepped towards Buick and pretended to be tripped over when passing Buick.

Then they had an argument that was too small to attract others' attention.

"Brother Buick, I've been feeling something's wrong here. I'll look into the second floor. Take care and stay alert here." Lu Yao seized the chance and whispered to Buick before walking towards Bao Tianyi on the second floor.

...

...

"Brother Yi, Lu Yao is here in our bar."

In a fancy suite on the second floor stood several scary strong guys with weapons in their hands.

With spray-slicked hair, a waistcoat, and a bow tie, a young man dressed as a waiter opened the secret side door and reported to the middle-aged man.

If Lu Yao had been here, he would have recognized the middle-aged man was Bao Tianyi, boss of g**g of the South.

"How many are those men with him in total?" Bao Tianyi asked casually.

"It seems that only Lu Yao's here. He did order beers, but he has been drinking water instead." The waiter carefully told Brother Yi all the details.

"Keep an eye on him. Update me on his latest move." And then Bao Tianyi motioned for the waiter to leave.

"Boss, the hitmen I've sent out all got lost for no reason. I don't think Lu Yao did it alone. He must have assistants."

One of the middle-aged men, who was almost as old as Bao Tianyi and sitting opposite, told Bao Tianyi.

He was called Tong Wei, who used to be Bao Tianyi's most trusted blood brother. They had experienced tens of fights together and built up g**g of the South. It was said that Tong Wei had got tired of all the fighting days and married a woman from the other province to live an ordinary life there.

Since things got worse, Bao Tianyi had to invite Tong Wei to come here to give some advice. Also, Dr. Zhou was kidn*pped here by Tong Wei.

Bao Tianyi told what happened on that night to Tong Wei alone. Tong Wei knew Bao Tianyi too well, and he could imagine that Qian Hu could be such a badass that Bao Tianyi failed to defy him.

"I think so. So I call all the newbies joining the g**g today to the bar. Now they have taken up all the suites on the second floor. Even if Lu Yao has assistants, my men can handle them all." Bao Tianyi said remorselessly.

"But how do you know if the newbies are trustful? I think we'd better inform Brother Tiger." Tong Wei felt so nervous that he advised asking Qian Hu for help.

After hearing Tong Wei's advice, Bao Tianyi smiled unassumingly and said, "No, Brother Tiger has already been here in the bar."
