If it’s the former, is the other party targeting me, or just using me as an excuse to take advantage of Young Master Jian?
Thinking of this, Zhou Wang felt a bit self-mocking.
Just recently at Zhou Zihan’s party, he experienced a similar scene. Is it because this trick is particularly effective, or does his image in the eyes of others seem so shabby... Do I look that easy to seduce?
Zhou Wang thought it over carefully and concluded it must be the former reason. He is a man of integrity, never swayed by female charms.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhou Wang, having sorted out his thoughts, was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something. He lowered his head to unlock his phone and checked the message that was interrupted earlier.
Bao Jin waited a moment and saw that Zhou Wang didn’t dare utter a word. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, looking over at Young Master Jian.
"Jian Sihan, your friend seems to have no backbone. If you’re wrong, admit it; face punishment upright. What’s the point of saying nothing?!"
Bang!
Another wine bottle was smashed directly at Young Master Jian’s feet by Bao Jin. This time it was very close; Young Master Jian even felt the sting of glass shards hitting his calf.
Young Master Jian, who was still hesitating, was instantly enraged. He tolerated it once, because nominally he was somewhat at fault, but twice... In front of everyone, what happens to his reputation as Jian Sihan?
"Damn you, Bao Jin, are you looking for trouble? What does my friend’s situation have to do with you?"
Jian Sihan directly picked up a wine bottle from the table.
"Hey, Jian Sihan, are you really unable to see the situation?"
Bao Jin just laughed and loudly said, "I told you, today is different. I brought people, you didn’t. Want to try moving one time?"
How could Young Master Jian withstand such provocation? Zhao Bin and others nearby were also getting restless. Regardless of whether Zhou Wang was at fault, at this moment they had to unconditionally stand by Young Master Jian.
Just as Young Master Jian was about to swing the bottle in his hand, a hand reached out and stopped him promptly.
Young Master Jian frowned and looked at Zhou Wang, who stopped him, "Zhou Wang, what are you doing?"
"Don’t be impulsive, they have more people, we’ll lose if a fight breaks out."
Zhou Wang shook his head, "Let me handle it."
Young Master Jian was stunned; Zhao Bin and the others hesitated. At this point, Zhou Wang stepped forward and said, "Earlier, I was in the wrong. Maybe I drank too much and unintentionally took advantage of this young lady. I hope everyone won’t mind."
Upon hearing what Zhou Wang said, not only Bao Jin and the others were astonished, but Young Master Jian’s expression also turned sour.
The key issue was that while Zhou Wang was keeping silent, Young Master Jian had actually started defending Zhou Wang. Regardless of the truth behind the incident, it actually had little to do with Zhou Wang anymore, as he had already stepped in to handle the situation.
But now Zhou Wang suddenly admitted fault, acknowledging it was his issue, making Young Master Jian seem like a clown.
Zhao Bin and others’ expressions turned strange, and any goodwill towards Zhou Wang had vanished, replaced by resentment and some disdain.
Like... we’re sticking up for you, and you chickened out?
Perhaps Wang Lijia was the only one who breathed a sigh of relief; watching the two sides about to brawl, her heart was in her throat.
Because one truth Zhou Wang mentioned was that Bao Jin’s side had more people; just friends alone accounted for more than a dozen, not to mention two brawny bodyguards, and everyone had been drinking. If an actual fight broke out, how would it end?
Though Zhou Wang’s actions were indeed a bit shameful, equivalent to admitting he took advantage of someone, at least it might avoid a meaningless conflict, which could be seen as another form of taking responsibility?
So Wang Lijia’s view of Zhou Wang did change, but it hadn’t hit rock bottom yet.
She just wanted to hurry and get everyone out of there.
At that moment, Bao Jin and his group, upon hearing Zhou Wang voluntarily surrender, were quite taken aback and momentarily speechless.
After coming to his senses, Bao Jin couldn’t help but sneer, "Is admitting wrong enough with just words? At least come over and bow your head, toast with a drink, and then we’ll talk about other things."
Zhou Wang laughed upon hearing that, grabbed a bottle of beer from the table nearby, and drank it down, then turned the empty bottle upside down, "I drank the beer, showed my sincerity, and today’s issue ends here, okay?"
After finishing, Zhou Wang turned around and unceremoniously pulled Young Master Jian, beckoning everyone to head outside together.
Zhou Wang exerted quite a bit of force; Young Master Jian, still in a daze, was already led a few steps away, "Hey... Zhou Wang, wait a moment..."
Zhou Wang ignored Young Master Jian’s struggle, perhaps a bit annoyed, and quietly said, "Jian Sihan, don’t you find it odd that despite the conflict lasting so long, no security has shown up?"
Young Master Jian was naturally displeased at Zhou Wang calling him by his name, but upon hearing Zhou Wang’s words, he was momentarily stunned.
Turning around and looking, it indeed was as Zhou Wang said; they had been arguing for quite a while, and it was quite loud. Yet besides the other guests watching, not a single bar security was in sight...
Logically speaking, this situation shouldn’t occur.
Forget about Magic City, even in a small town off the beaten track, bigger nightclubs can’t possibly allow guests to get into conflicts without the bar responding.
