Upstairs in the food court.
Liu Kun grew increasingly angrier as he replayed the moment he had backed down. He hadn't dared to make a move then, seeing how imposing Luofeng was.
However, things were different now.
He had run into his old friend, Zhang Fei.
This man was from Xiangjiang, and his family had some influence there.
"Brother Fei, what are you doing here?" Liu Kun asked.
"I was playing basketball at the sports hall across the street and then came over for a meal!" Zhang Fei replied. "Xiao Liu, what brings you here?"
"I was about to have dinner with my girlfriend, but we had a little disagreement. Now she's eating grilled fish here with her friend, so I stepped out for a walk!" Liu Kun shamelessly referred to the beautiful Shen Na as his girlfriend.
"Since your girlfriend is here, you should go over and say hello. I've reserved a table of seafood. Have your girlfriend join us later!"
Liu Kun said, embarrassed, "She's angry with me. She might ignore me even if I go over and ask her."
"Come on, come on, I'll go with you. I love solving problems for people. Women, you know? Just apologize, yield a little, buy her a handbag tomorrow, and any problem will be solved," Zhang Fei said presumptuously.
"In that case, thanks a lot, Brother Dao," Liu Kun said with a smile.
"Lead the way. I'll handle it for you!" Zhang Fei exclaimed.
Liu Kun didn't lead the way immediately. Instead, he explained, "Oh, Brother, my girlfriend is with her friend, and her friend's boyfriend is also there. He seems to have a problem with me. I'm worried things might get unpleasant later!"
"Unpleasant? Hahaha, the guys I just played basketball with haven't left yet. If there's any trouble, I'll just call them over. What's there to be afraid of?" Zhang Fei said nonchalantly.
Liu Kun smirked inwardly. *Since you said so yourself,* he thought, *don't blame me for setting you up later, alright?*
"Thanks, Brother. I'll treat you to dinner later to show my gratitude for your help!" Liu Kun said cheerfully.
"No worries, it's a small thing. Lead the way!" Zhang Fei said, patting Liu Kun's shoulder with a laugh.
Soon after, Liu Kun led Zhang Fei to the Grilled Fish Restaurant.
They headed straight for Luofeng's table.
Luofeng also saw Liu Kun and Zhang Fei.
This Zhang Fei indeed resembled the one from the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*—burly and rough. The only difference was that his skin wasn't dark.
"Nana, let me introduce you. This is a friend of mine from Xiangjiang, Brother Dao. His name is Zhang Fei," Liu Kun introduced.
Bai Ningbing laughed. "Zhang Fei, that's quite a name. Are you one of those Young and Dangerous Boys from over there?"
Zhang Fei had spotted Shen Na and Bai Ningbing the moment he approached their table.
He even fantasized. No matter which of them was Liu Kun's girlfriend, he imagined getting her drunk at dinner and then... making his move. If he handled it well, he could have them both. Really. He'd willingly give up ten years of his life for that. But it would have to be for a whole month, not just one night. Of course, some might make complaints, thinking such ideas were childish. But what they didn't understand was that desire itself is impulsive. At that moment, seeing how beautiful they were, he felt an intense craving, hence the thought of sacrificing ten years of his life. Actions could be impulsive, and so could thoughts. Honestly, if a demon appeared right then and offered a deal, would he really take it? It was only the allure of beautiful girls that could provoke such impulsive thoughts and actions.
Liu Kun's face darkened slightly at Bai Ningbing's teasing. He snorted coldly, "Beauty, do you have a problem with me or something?"
Zhang Fei said casually, "Sure, I'll grant you that. Let's talk outside!"
Luofeng had no intention of exchanging pleasantries and walked straight out.
Soon, the few of them were outside the restaurant entrance. Zhang Fei spoke first, "Handsome, I advise you not to meddle. I've always enjoyed helping people, and since she's Xiao Liu's girlfriend, let the young couple sort it out themselves. What business is it of yours, an outsider, to interfere? If they make up, you'll only end up offending someone!"
Honestly, Zhang Fei's words made a lot of sense. Real bosses in the underworld, after all, tended to speak with reason and weren't just irrational troublemakers. Having experienced many situations, they understood that being in the right gave them the advantage.
Indeed, what he said was quite reasonable.
However, the premise was flawed: Shen Na was not Liu Kun's girlfriend.
"Oh, is that so?" Luofeng chuckled.
Liu Kun lowered his voice and warned, "Friend, let me remind you, Brother Dao's family in Xiangjiang has a lot of clout. If you insist on meddling, not only will you be in trouble, but your girlfriend will too. You understand what I'm saying, right?"
It was a clear provocation, purely fanning the flames.
Luofeng saw right through it.
Liu Kun continued, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least consider her, shouldn't you?"
If this had been twenty years ago, and Luofeng had crossed someone he couldn't afford to offend, a Long-legged Campus Belle like Bai Ningbing would have faced a truly miserable fate.
