He is young, rich, charming, highly educated, eloquent, and tasteful. There is simply no comparison between them!
“Your attitude is good, humble. You will definitely become someone like me in the future! By the way, how is Cao Xin doing lately?” Jin Hongyue suddenly changed the subject with her eyes shining.
Anyone who wants to become a scoundrel like you is the greatest swordsman in the world!
"Work and rest are the same as always," Li Yang said casually.
"And who is this?" Li Yang didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. Damn, this self-aggrandizing guy was even more shameless than himself, trying to pat himself on the back. If they continued talking, Li Yang suspected he would throw up!
Jin Hongyue looked embarrassed and murmured, unsure how to answer. Suddenly, a waiter who was holding Jin Hongri down cried out, "Boss, it hurts so much! Your brother bit me!"
Li Yang feigned surprise and exclaimed in shock, "Oh my god, Mr. Jin, this is your brother? You have a crazy brother? What's going on?"
Jin Hongyue blushed and glared at the waiter. "Damn it! Don't you have eyesight? Didn't you see my rival? You made me lose face, I'll make you lose money! I'm deducting your bonus for this month!"
"Hehe, yeah." Jin Hongyue laughed like her mother had died, it was as ugly as could be.
"Has it been treated? This kind of illness is not easy to treat!" Li Yang asked, seemingly out of genuine concern.
"Yes, he was frightened, but it's nothing serious, just a bit of an allergic reaction. Hehe, no need for you to worry, brother!" Jin Hongyue said to Li Yang with a stiff smile.
Li Yang knew perfectly well how upset he was, but he deliberately provoked him, saying, "I don't think so. Many mental patients initially suffer from shock and don't receive timely treatment, and their condition worsens over time. I think Boss Jin should take this seriously!"
"Thank you for your concern!" Jin Hongyue said with an unpleasant expression.
Li Yang was secretly pleased. His eyes darted around, and he said, "How about I take a look? I've seen some of this kind of thing in some books; maybe it'll work."
"You?" Jin Hongyue's brows furrowed like bird feathers, clearly unwilling to believe Li Yang's words.
"Yeah, I might even be able to cure him, who knows?" Li Yang looked at Jin Hongyue with a smile and a hint of teasing.
Jin Hongyue was so frustrated and aggrieved that she glared at Jin Hongri, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then why don't you give it a try?"
"That's right, maybe there's good news!" Li Yang chuckled and walked over to Jin Hongri, who was still being restrained by a group of people.
"You, you, you are—"
Several waiters stared closely at Li Yang and finally recognized who he was! They couldn't help but gasp and stammer.
Chapter 224: The Secret
Li Yang squinted at him quietly, then smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"No, it's nothing. I, I'm seeing things~" The waiter shuddered and shook his head vigorously, indicating that he was seeing things.
Li Yang smiled faintly, squatted down, grabbed Jin Hongri's head and lifted it up. Anyway, with his back to Jin Hongri, no one could see how Li Yang dealt with Jin Hongri.
"ah--"
Upon seeing Li Yang's smiling face, Jin Hongri screamed in terror. His whole body trembled, and instead of struggling and shivering, he became as quiet as a mouse seeing a cat, his face pale and his eyes filled with fear.
"Ah—boss, he, he peed! He pooped!" Several waiters suddenly shouted and jumped up, shaking their clothes, which were covered in Jin Hongri's excrement and urine.
The other waiters jumped up as if electrocuted, panicking and avoiding Jin Hongri. This man is truly beyond help; he's even incontinent and doesn't know how to use the toilet. If he's mentally sound, then no one is!
"What happened?" Jin Hongyue also became nervous and hurriedly came over to ask.
Jin Hongri was no longer being held down, but he obediently lay on the ground, not daring to move. Li Yang also released his hair, letting his head hang down.
"Don't worry, he's fine. It's just a reaction to the treatment. Jin Hongri, right? You need to listen to me, stay home and don't go out and cause trouble for your brother. That way you'll be safe. Don't worry, no one will kill you. Understand?" Li Yang said softly to Jin Hongri, trying to reassure him. Clearly, his previous attack on Jin Hongri had indeed caused him significant psychological trauma, achieving the state Li Yang had anticipated.
But now, he's basically useless, so there's no need for him to be here. Li Yang doesn't really want to kill anyone, so giving him some reassurance is just what he needs.
"Waaah... Really?? Thank you, thank you..." Jin Hongri suddenly burst into tears, hugging Li Yang's ankle and sobbing uncontrollably, expressing his gratitude profusely.
Li Yang's shoes were covered in snot and tears; it was disgusting.
"See? I told you my intervention might have an effect. Is your brother better now?" Li Yang suppressed the urge to kick Jin Hongri away and smiled calmly at Jin Hongyue.
He kept a close eye on Li Qinghua's reaction and noticed that she did indeed glance at him with surprise, though the glance was very light and she immediately turned away and continued singing.
However, that was precisely Li Yang's goal; he wanted her to be surprised and curious about him. Only then could his subsequent plans be implemented step by step.
"Hongri, do you know who I am?" Jin Hongyue squatted down and called out to Jin Hongri with great joy.
"Brother—" Jin Hongri called out pitifully.
"Ah—it's really healed, it's really healed! Brother Li, you're a miracle doctor! I must thank you properly, I must thank you!" Jin Hongyue said to Li Yang with eyes full of gratitude.
Jin Hongri buried his head in his brother's arms, not daring to utter a single word. He was clearly terrified of Li Yang. He didn't dare say a bad word about Li Yang to his brother, let alone reveal the truth.
"Mr. Jin, there's no need to worry about it. It was just a small favor," Li Yang said, feigning indifference.
"No, Brother Li, don't call me Boss Jin. I'm a few years older than you. Call me Big Brother, and I'll call you Little Brother. From now on, we're brothers."
"I must book a banquet tonight to properly thank Brother Li. Don't refuse, Brother!" Jin Hongyue said excitedly, pulling Li Yang along.
"Well, I'll have to accept your offer!" Li Yang had no choice but to agree. Damn it, you call me big brother? You think you're worthy? But for the sake of your Red Moon Bar, I won't stoop to your level.
"You, and you, take Hongri home first!" Jin Hongyue hurriedly instructed her waiters.
"Yes, yes!" The two men accompanied Jin Hongri out of the Red Moon Bar, one on each side, to deal with the problem.
After the commotion, the bar was practically empty of customers, except for Li Yang.
"Open the wine, Chivas Regal, Bordeaux red wine..." Jin Hongyue was in a great mood after seeing that Jin Hongri's condition was under control, and spared no expense to open the expensive wine to comfort Li Yang.
"Qinghua, Ah Q, and Changfa, you guys don't need to sing anymore, come and have a drink with us." Jin Hongyue wanted Li Qinghua to drink with him, but he knew Li Qinghua's temper well, so he didn't want to call him directly. He simply called all three of them down instead.
