Although Yu Long found the situation ironic, he understood that the person Yu Fei had attached herself to was a noble. He still wasn’t sure what kind of support the man could provide for that woman, so he had to find a way out for himself.
“Noble? With a title?” Ouyang Xuan asked, a bit surprised.
Yu Long nodded.
“Then helping you would mean we’d offend him as well?” Ouyang Xuan expressed his slight displeasure.
Yu Long’s expression grew slightly awkward. He didn’t want to bring this up, but it was better to inform them now rather than risk offending the noble later.
Nobles were not as easy to handle as ordinary businessmen.
If that person held a count or duke title, offending him would be tantamount to courting death.
He regretted being soft-hearted in the past. Now he found himself at a loss. Kyoto was too dangerous, and Yun City would serve as a perfect hiding place. Besides, this was Leng Minxing’s territory. He could ensure his safety with his support.
After Ouyang Xuan spoke, he looked at Leng Minxing.
Leng Minxing’s expression remained indifferent. After a brief moment of consideration, he said, “If you can supply us consistently, it won’t be a problem.”
Yu Long’s expression shifted slightly.
He had gone to great lengths to acquire those weapons from abroad. The initial purchase was already painful, and now Leng Minxing wanted a continuous supply? He was truly a shrewd businessman!
However, Yu Long didn’t outright refuse and only said, “Let me think about it.”
Leng Minxing raised a hand. “Take your time.”
“Get me a glass of wine.”
Meanwhile, Anji said gloomily, beckoning the server.
The server hurriedly handed it to her. Anji provocatively glanced at Luo Xi. Swirling her glass of red wine, she sneered, “Miss Luo, I bet you’ve never had alcohol before, right? Underage?”
Luo Xi rolled her eyes in response. “I don’t think I need to disclose that to you, right?”
“Tsk, drinking juice? I’ve never heard of anyone coming to a place like this to drink juice. Fortunately, we all know each other, so it’s okay. If there were outsiders, they’d definitely laugh at you.” Anji took a sip of her red wine, her expression a mix of enjoyment and mocking.
“I don’t think drinking alcohol is anything worth boasting about.”
“Hmph, even if you don’t care about yourself, you should think about how he feels. If he takes you out, he’ll be embarrassed.” Then Anji raised her glass and signaled for a nearby woman to pour more wine.
Just as Luo Xi was about to retort, her expression suddenly changed. She grabbed a glass from the table and hurled it in Anji’s direction.
Anji didn’t expect her to act so suddenly. She was caught off guard.
“Danger!”
“Bang!” The sound of shattered glass coincided with a woman’s scream.
Anji screamed in fear, expecting pain to follow, but instead felt a heavy pull. Before she could react, she was suddenly pulled away.
She opened her eyes to see the woman behind her crouched on the ground, clutching her face and screaming. A shiny fruit knife lay on the floor.
The three men immediately stood up after hearing the commotion. The musicians who had been performing suddenly changed their expressions and pulled out guns, aiming them at Luo Xi and Anji, who were now surrounded by them.
Anji was still in shock. She turned back and found herself staring into the dark muzzle of the gun, her face paling.
“What’s going on…” Her voice was trembling as she looked at the formerly respectful server, now wearing a cold expression.
