Chapter 18: Qin Aunt is in Danger

  After going to the hospital, Lorraine didn't go home, but instead took a detour to that internet cafe in Hutong and haggled with Aunt Zhang, managing to bring the transfer fee down to 500,000 yuan, which was already a pretty good price.

  Lorraine went to the bank and found that there was still 46,000 yuan in her card. What's strange is that today is the beginning of the month, and according to reason, her mother should have given herself living expenses, otherwise Lorraine could have signed the contract on the spot.

  What's going on? Where did this money come from?

  Just then, Lorraine's phone rang, and the caller ID showed Qin Yuanshu.

  Luo Lin picked up the phone without hesitation, but on the other end was an unfamiliar woman's voice, sounding a bit tense: "Hello, are you Luo Xiaoqi?"

  Little Luo, is it you?

  Luolinn said with a frown: "I'm Luolinn. Who are you? Why are you holding Qin Auntie's phone?"

  "Qin Auntie?" The woman on the phone hesitated for a moment, "You're just a kid? No wonder they call you Little Naughty... Never mind, little friend, go to bed early." She was about to hang up the phone.

  "Hey, wait a minute!" Lorin sensed something was off. "Qin Yuanshu isn't my aunt, we're just one generation apart, I'm 21 this year, what's going on? You tell me, how did you get Qin Yuanshu's phone?"

  At that time, he finally felt at ease: "Today we had a reunion of old classmates, just me and Wanshu two women, and four male classmates. At first it was fine, but later four more men came, looking like thugs from society. They kept pouring drinks for me and Wanshu. I didn't bring my phone, so I pretended to be drunk and said I was going to the bathroom, then secretly took Wanshu's phone. The first number I dialed was yours, so I..."

  Before he finished speaking, Lorraine already knew what was going on and immediately asked: "Where are you?"

  "Night market on one street, Moonlight Bar, VIP 12 card seat, hurry up..."

  Lorraine immediately hung up the phone and hastily got into a taxi: "Niushi Street Night Market, Moonlight Bar, hurry up driver!"

  …………

  The night market was still chaotic tonight, and as soon as Luo Lin got off the car at the entrance of Moonlight Bar, a group of street racers recognized this young master Luo.

  "Hey! Luo Da Shao, why are you so free today?"

  Luo Lin waved his hand: "You guys, I'm in a bit of a hurry today, let's talk another day!"

  These flying car party members all gave Lorrine some face and stopped joking around, saying seriously: "What's up, just give a shout!"

  Lorraine rushed into the Moon Bar, and immediately spotted VIP seat 12 in the corner. A strange woman blocked Qin Wanshu who was dizzy behind her, raised a glass alone, surrounded by eight men, clinking glasses with each of them one by one.

  My god, how dare you play tricks on my Aunt Qin!

  Luoluo's anger surged, and he strode forward. The Moonlight Bar used to be a bald-headed gang's territory, but now the bald-headed gang was in trouble. Daqiang, who used to follow the bald-headed gang, was now the boss of the Moonlight Bar. With just one call from Luoluo, a large group of people would gather, and after they were done, there would be people to clean up the mess, with both men and money available. What's there to fear? These eight people came here today looking for death!

  At this time, in another corner of the bar, five young people were sitting, looking like they were just over 20 years old at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were actually middle school students who dressed more maturely.

  "Hey, Jia Dong, come quick and take a look. Isn't that the guy who gave Long Ge's underling a sneak attack at the school gate today?"

  Lin Jiadong looked up and said, "It's him! This guy is from our school too, a hoodlum who has always been oppressed by Chi Shi. I didn't expect him to collude with Long Ge's people. I heard that Long Ge is going to make an example out of someone today, this guy is in trouble."

  "Look at how anxious he is, has something happened? I heard he and Chi Shi are sworn enemies, the enemy of an enemy is our friend, should we help him out if something happens later?"

  Lin Jiadong sneered, "What's the point of meddling in this? This guy is just playing tricks, looking at his weak build, I reckon he doesn't have any real skills. I hate people like him who are all show and no substance."

  Lin Jiatong is the little overlord of Class One, Grade One in Municipal No. 1 High School, with a large group of fierce and formidable younger brothers under his command. Although they are young, each one of them is a tough character. The force that Liangzi mentioned earlier, which dominates the first year of high school, is led by Lin Jiatong and his gang.

  Lin Jiatong is only 16 years old this year, but he's mature-minded. Although sometimes his methods are harsh, that's also intentional on his part, and he never makes a big deal out of things. He's straightforward and has a strong sense of justice, so the new first-year students all want to hang out with him. Today, when Luo Lin was being hypocritical in front of those few yellow-haired kids, Lin Jiatong just happened to see it, so it's natural that he doesn't have a good impression of Luo Lin.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, Miss Song, this isn't right, is it? Only letting us and you drink together, how improper?" One of the eight men said with a shameless grin.

  "Yes, let Miss Qin have a few more cups too. It's just a few bottles and you're not allowed to drink anymore? That's not right for an old classmate gathering today."

  The woman known as Miss Song felt indescribable disgust and tension in her heart, but on the surface she could only smile sweetly and say: "Everyone, Wan Shu can't drink much, today's few bottles are already her limit. Let's be more considerate, or else I'll just finish this cup of wine first as a toast, and then we'll leave early, okay?" Before anyone could respond, she downed the wine in her hand in one gulp.

  Under the dim and dizzying light, eight men revealed a hint of cunning smile that was not easily detectable. Just now, while Miss Song went to the restroom, they added some "ingredients" to Miss Song's wine glass. They thought Qin Wanshu was already drunk and unconscious, but this little Song was too troublesome, so they had to give her a strong dose or it wouldn't work.

  "Good! Miss Song is indeed a heroine among women!" Seeing Miss Song finish her drink, the eight men applauded in unison.

  Miss Song wiped her lip corner with a tissue: "Then we'll go first."

  "Hey, don't leave yet." The three men took a step towards the exit, seemingly careless but actually blocking Song's way out. "These guys haven't had their fill of drinking yet, and it's rare for old classmates to meet up like this, isn't it a bit too early to leave?"

  Miss Song's face turned bright red upon hearing this, fortunately the dim lighting made it hard to see clearly.

  This is really outrageous! These people are too shameless, refusing to let us leave, the night market street is chaotic, especially the deafening music bars, you can't even get help if you shout for it, as long as no one dies, the bar staff will just turn a blind eye.

  What's going on... I'm also getting a bit drunk, can't hold on for much longer, what about Wen Shu's... Luo Xiao Jiao is she coming or not? ... Don't be such a kid.

  Now Miss Song said she wanted to go to the toilet, I guess it's too late now, really regretful, why didn't I make a few more calls at that time.

  "Miss Song, is that okay? You just have another drink with us brothers and then you and Miss Qin can leave. Otherwise, it's rare for classmates to gather together in the future, and opportunities are scarce."

  This man saw Miss Song's medicine taking effect, her face turned rosy and she kept taking deep breaths. He thought it was time, let's have a few more cups of wine to send off the medicinal effects, I reckon she'll be knocked out soon.

  Miss Song's head was dizzy, she was barely holding on. When she heard that they could leave after clinking glasses one more time, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Alright, let's have a final round, I'll die to keep you company!"

  The crowd's faces revealed their sinister intentions.

  "Miss Song, I'll go first, cheers!" One of the men, dressed in a white-collar attire with a sly grin, raised his wine glass.

  Miss Song's head was dizzy, and before he could drink, she had already brought the wine cup to her own lips.

  "Slow down, I'll drink for you."

  Just as she was about to drink the wine, a slender but tall and handsome boy suddenly appeared beside her, with a warm smile on his face, but when facing the eight men present, his eyes hid a sharpness that was not easily detectable.

  "Who are you?" Miss Song was somewhat bewildered, the boy in front of her was very unfamiliar.

  Lorraine smiled naturally and whispered in Song's ear: "I'm Luo Xiaoqi."

  Miss Song's medicine is taking effect, and Lorin's unintentional blowing in her ear makes her heart beat faster and her ears burn. However, upon hearing Lorin's words, a stone falls from the bottom of her heart, "Lorin?!!" Miss Song is overjoyed, it's here! It's finally here!

  "Huh? I'm asking you, what are you doing here?" The man who was waiting to knock Miss Song out spoke in a foul tone.

  "Me?" Lorraine smiled and pointed to Qin Wanshu who was lying drunk on the sofa, "This is my sister. I'm here to pick her up, do you have a problem with that? If you don't believe me, I can call my brother, my dad, and even my third uncle over, we can settle this face-to-face?"

  These men were intimidated as soon as they heard that Lorraine was going to bring people over. Now, what kind of evil plans are they making? A discerning person can see right through it. If the relatives of this faint girl all come over, the pot of hot soup that has been simmering all night will be ruined.

  These big men are all old slickers in society, looking at Lorraine as a little guy under 20, no matter how clever they can't play with so many adults, right? Besides, this guy said he wanted to block the wine, so let him block it! Eight people took turns clinking glasses, and after three rounds of forcing him to drink, he was drunk to death!

  "Little brother, this is your sister. What is Miss Song to you? We are now drinking with Miss Song, and you're getting involved like this, isn't that a bit too much?"

  Luo Lin didn't expect the other person to say that, and thought they were shameless. The young master also let loose and sneered: "I'm saying, you guys, aren't you drunk? What's with your gaze? Can't you see that Song Miss and I are a couple? Qin Miss is my sister, Song Miss is my girlfriend, and it's only natural for me to come pick them up. You say I'm overstepping or not?"

  "Go ahead and brag, I think you're no more than 18 years old!"

  "Hey? Who says you can't date at 18, who says I can't date my sister's friend? I like older guy-younger girl relationships, what's wrong with that?"

  "Hey!" The eight of them were at a loss for words, choked by Lorraine's sudden outburst. They were old classmates reuniting after many years, and they didn't know each other very well anymore. Lorraine suddenly appeared and whatever she said went.

  Finally, someone with a deeper city came out and said with a smile: "Hehe, little brother, we've all had a lot to drink and spoken out of turn. So, since you're here to pick someone up, do you know the rules for being late? Like this, I'll have a toast with you first, you drink as much as I do..."

  Lorraine impatiently waved his hand, picked up the two bottles of foreign liquor on the table, placed one in front of the man and one in front of himself: "Alright, this brother is eloquent, that's fine, let's follow the rules. I'll drink as much as you will accompany me, one bottle per person, nothing else to say, first finish it off, whoever speaks again is a bastard!" Before he even finished speaking, he raised the bottle in front of him and poured it down his throat.

  At the sight of this, the guy who was pretending to be tough immediately went weak in the knees. The people next to him hastily gave him a signal, indicating that they would back him up! If you can't even handle drinking at your age, then don't hang out with us!

  There were eight people in the room, none of whom wanted to drink any more. Since Lorraine had found this person, the others were delighted to egg him on, clapping loudly: "Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!..."

  This guy paled in the face, looked at Lorrain's drinking posture, gritted his teeth fiercely, damn it, go for it! So he picked up the bottle, tilted his neck and started pouring it into his mouth with all his might!

  "Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!......" The cheering voices became more and more neat and loud, attracting a large crowd of customers to watch.

  In a corner of the bar, Lin Jiadong saw Luo Lin's behavior at this time and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "I didn't expect it, this guy is really like a man when it comes to business."
