  The Devil Also Cries Softly

  No pop-up window website, tens of thousands of book lovers online at the same time

  Night falls, neon lights are on, the whole street where the bar is located is decorated with colorful neon lights, showing a dreamy color.

  It was still an ordinary day, and I continued today's journey with Ruoxi, chatting and laughing along the way. Before we even arrived at our destination, from a distance, I saw that there were many more large motorcycles in front of the bar than usual. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I rubbed them hard and opened them again, but those obstacles that had never existed before still hadn't disappeared. As we walked closer, I found that these vehicles had already flooded this area, filling up the entire empty space with a throng of people, completely blocking the entrance to the bar.

  I can be sure that it's not the people under Meng Yu, looking at this magnificent motorcycle array, I think the owner should belong to the same route as them, this kind of motorcycle can be considered their exclusive ride. But stopping halfway and being messy is not only ugly but also obstructive, how come no one comes to manage it? Looking inside through the sea of cars, the atmosphere is not right, and the receptionist who usually stands at the entrance is nowhere to be seen... Is someone going to crash the party tonight?

  "Did they say there's an event tonight?" Wu Xi stopped in her tracks, asking sideways with her eyes fixed on the dense group of motorcycles in front of the bar.

  I didn't even think about it, everything is as usual, nothing out of the ordinary will slip through the net, shaking head, and shaking head again.

  The two of them exchanged a slow glance, both feeling that the situation was not quite right. Without saying a word, they simultaneously took off running towards the inside, as if their hearts were connected by an invisible thread. Fortunately, I and Ruoxi's figures were relatively slender, so we managed to squeeze through the gaps in the motorcycle formation without much effort, dashing straight into the grand hall.

  The bar was almost packed with people, but the atmosphere was different from usual. There was no singing or dancing, no music, and no clinking of glasses. The only sound was the heavy silence between two groups of people who were still locked in a standoff. The two leaders, dark silhouettes, stood motionless facing each other, their faces illuminated by the dim light that cast an eerie glow on the crowd. The serious and tense expressions on their faces were evident. Judging from the number of people standing behind them, the opposing side had an overwhelming advantage.

  I pushed through the crowd and rushed inside, my voice growing louder with excitement: "Ji Yu!"

  "Darling, you're just in time!" Yu broke the sky and spat out a cheesy nickname, casually pulling me into his arms as I almost tripped, "Fei Ge has been wanting to see you, come."

  Ruo Xi followed me and also came to Ji Dong's side, pulling his arm and whispering: "What's going on? Isn't the shop open today?"

  In such a special situation, it's clear that they're not here to do business, and they might even get into a fight. Who are these people? Each of them has a sly and cunning look on their face, and in my eyes, they're all unfamiliar faces. They seem to know Ze Yu, but are they here looking for trouble? It doesn't seem like it! If that's the case, why waste time standing around instead of taking action directly?

  "Fei Ge, hello." I smiled slightly and extended my hand. Since Ji Yu said so, it seemed he was a guest, and being polite couldn't be wrong, right?

  He frowned and glared at me, his hands still in his pockets, then turned to look at Ze Yu. I awkwardly withdrew my hand, feeling like a fool for trying to shake hands with people like them as a greeting.

  "Brother Yu, what's so attractive about this chick? Not as good as Li Xiaoyan! Remember when I hadn't climbed to your position yet, you told me that to mix with this circle, one must be ruthless and loveless. You shouldn't have forgotten that yourself, right?" He said, giving me a sinister stare.

  I retreated behind Yu's back, frowning as I sized up the group of people in front of us. The leader, "Fei Ge", had an extremely sharp gaze, and at a glance, he didn't seem like an ordinary person. He seemed to have been secretly shooting cold arrows at me, but when our eyes met, I neither dodged nor flinched, thinking that with Yu in front of me blocking the way, what was there to be afraid of?

  "How could I forget what I said myself? On the other hand, it seems that you're not doing a great job of taking over, and now I have to waste my effort to teach you?" There was a hint of provocation in Yu's tone.

  "Brother Yu, all your people have followed you, it's not easy for me to make a name for myself! Up until today, I haven't given you a bad reputation. Those three bastards you mentioned are indeed ungrateful! I've already taught them a good lesson, and I came here today to give you an explanation." He sneered, "However, it seems like you've forgotten one thing - back then, I didn't compete with you for Li Xiaoran, letting her go with you because I thought she would only be happy with you. But now you've dumped her? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

  "Fei Ge, you've said that Li Xiao Ran is your type, how can I steal someone's love? Why not take this opportunity to pursue her? Honestly, I'll tell you, she and I are just ordinary friends, in the past when she spread rumors, I didn't mind, but now it's different." Ze Yu pulled me forward, intimately embracing me with both hands.

  "Yu..." I looked up and called out to him in a low voice, did he say it wrong? Obviously, it was when Li Xiaoyan broke up with me that I accidentally saw them, how could they be just ordinary friends... Was it just used to fool this "Fei Ge"?

  He took the opportunity to plant a kiss on my forehead, with a gentle smile on his lips. The "Fei Ge" opposite me, who had been calm and composed, suddenly wore an incredulous expression.

  "Brother Yu, this time you're really..."

  "Right, now you understand? You came today, the main purpose won't be to ask me about my guilt, will it? Or do you want to reminisce about old times? If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing good for us to chat about." Ji Yu slightly raised his chin, calmly interrupting his words.

  According to the content of their conversation, this "Fei Ge" should have taken over Yu's position and become the current boss. He also has a leg with Li Xiaoran, but the beauty only favors Shuai Ge and doesn't bother to pay attention to him. He is infatuated with her, using a common saying: A toad wants to eat swan meat!

  Fei Ge smiled and said, "Yu Ge, what are you talking about? How dare I come to ask for your punishment?" As he spoke, he clapped his hands in mid-air, and a person behind him received the order, striding out of the door with steady and swift steps.

  "Today is not a day for nostalgia, last time Brother Yu's business opening was not celebrated in time, a small gift, also wishing Brother Yu great success!" He made a superficial effort, with a hint of a smile on his lips and a nod, but his eyes flashed with a cold, gloomy light.

  I curiously looked towards the door where the man had disappeared, and before long, he came hurrying back with a rectangular box covered in red cloth on his head. He respectfully handed it over to Fei Ge, then retreated back to his original position with his head lowered. I had caught a glimpse of that red object when it was placed on the stump, but I hadn't paid much attention to it - so it turned out to be a gift? This method is quite unusual, not bringing it in at first and instead leaving it by the door, only to bring it in when it's time to present it.

  "Fei Ge, you're being polite." Yu's face was expressionless as he stared at the "gift", and suddenly a pungent smell wafted through the air, seemingly coming from this mysterious object that had appeared out of nowhere.

  "No no no, this is a must! Hope Brother Yu is satisfied!"

  Fei Ge's face had a strange smile, and he hummed a low-pitched sound from his nose as he handed something to Jie Yu. Jie Yu slightly furrowed his brow, reached out to take it, but just barely touched it before the other person's hand intentionally slipped away, causing the object to fall to the ground with a loud "bang". The porcelain box shattered, and a man's hand covered in blood rolled out from inside, with half of it still hidden under the red cloth, emitting a strong stench.

  As soon as Xi shouted, Ji Dong had already blocked my line of sight. I pulled Yu away from the scene and felt a wave of nausea wash over me, my whole body trembling uncontrollably. I buried my head in Yu's chest, not daring to look again.

  "What do you mean?" Yu's voice remained icy cold as he gazed at the gift on the ground, unmoved.

  "Brother Yu, this is my sincerity! Those three useless underlings of mine, I've taught them a good lesson. How's that? Are you satisfied now?"

  Never seen such a ruthless person, even using dirty tricks on his own subordinates, what kind of boss is this? Simply worse than pigs and dogs!

  "Take it away."

  "Oh no! Brother Yu, you're not satisfied? Then I'll have them apologize with their lives!" The perverted boss sighed helplessly, "You, go clean up the mess, don't dirty Brother Yu's place!"

  The sound of ceramic shards crunching and colliding came from behind, I stuck tightly to the corner, couldn't bear to sneak a peek again, tonight's return will probably be a nightmare.

  "Fei Ge, I accept your kind intentions. You can take this and leave now. I've already withdrawn from the matter and don't want to pursue it further. This is enough." Zuo Yu said expressionlessly, nodding slightly towards the door, "If there's nothing else, I won't see you out."

  Good-looking ones are all here, tell your friends
