As the saying goes, even a mighty dragon can't suppress a snake that bows its head. Even if that old guy really is a dragon, he'll have to coil up in the stinking ditch here.
Thinking of this, Cao Dong was finally filled with heroic spirit. He immediately took out his phone, made a few calls, and in the blink of an eye, he mobilized all the local thugs he could call upon.
He never expected that the skinny and sleazy old man would have such superb skills, beating one of his relatively good henchmen so badly that he couldn't even get up, while the other was so scared that he kept screaming for help and didn't even have the courage to fight back.
Judging from this, Cao Dong estimated that even if he took action himself, he might not be able to gain any advantage against Zhou Ziwei. Moreover, he guessed that there should be hidden bodyguards protecting Zhou Ziwei. Otherwise, given Zhou Ziwei's power to make Hong Kong entertainment tycoons flock to him with just one phone call, he probably wouldn't have come here alone to risk his life!
However, this is Cao Dong's territory after all, and the forces he can mobilize are still quite considerable. He believes that even if Zhou Ziwei has a few experts by his side, they will still be completely defeated once they encounter his human wave tactics.
As for what to do next after Zhou Ziwei's arrogance is eliminated, Cao Dong hasn't figured it out yet.
Anyway, he didn't have the guts to actually kill Zhou Ziwei, but... he could capture Zhou Ziwei as a hostage and then squeeze some benefits out of him.
He knew, of course, that the consequences of this would be very dangerous, and could very well lead to utter ruin. However, given the current situation, he had no other choice but to immediately admit defeat and submit to Zhou Ziwei, disband his forces, and never associate with the underworld again.
Either fight Zhou Ziwei to the death, and whether they live or die, prosper or perish, it all depends on this one battle. Cao Dong was undoubtedly much more courageous than his younger brother Cao Hong, so after only a slight hesitation, he immediately chose the latter—fight to the death.
Zhou Ziwei and Su Yan were indeed still there. Since he wanted to attract the attention and fear of the Night Elves in a high-profile manner, he would naturally not let the people who had just offended him off easily.
At this moment, Zhou Ziwei and Su Yan were sitting in the Underground Lover Bar! In a coffee shop across the street, they were sitting in a small private room by the window, with a perfect view of the Underground Lover Bar! That dirty door.
Zhou Ziwei understood that there must be more than one exit in that underground love bar. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Since this place was a stronghold for the Dark Elves to contact the outside world, it was naturally likely to be targeted by others for revenge at any time. Anyone with a sound mind would not design that place to have only one exit.
However, Zhou Ziwei wasn't worried that Cao Dong and his two henchmen would escape through the other exit. After all, the other exit must be a secret escape route used by the Night Elves. Cao Dong wasn't a Night Elf, so how could he possibly be qualified to use that secret passage? Besides... at this moment, Zhou Ziwei's Ladybug was also monitoring them in the underground Lover's Bar. Even if Cao Dong did manage to escape through the other exit, he wouldn't be able to escape Zhou Ziwei's control.
More than ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement from inside the dirty glass door. However, Zhou Ziwei was not in a hurry. He drank the slightly cold coffee in front of him in one gulp and then asked the waiter to bring him two more cups.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the private room, followed by a man in the next room shouting for a waiter and ordering two ice creams and a fruit platter. After the waiter brought all the items, he slammed the door shut.
Almost the instant the door closed, a soft gasp came from next door, followed by the rustling of clothes being lifted. A delicate-sounding woman gasped, "Brother Yelü... don't be in such a hurry... I... I'm not prepared at all... um... you didn't bring me to this coffee shop just... just to take advantage of me, did you? Ah... don't touch me there... um... ah... please... don't... even if we really do it, we can't rush it! We should at least chat first, talk about our life goals and stuff!"
"Damn..." The man's voice was rough as he swore, then he said, panting, "What kind of life ideals are you talking about? I just want to study your body structure. Don't tell me you were flirting with me in the bar just to talk about some damn ideals... You're kidding me... You little slut, you just got your hands on me because I'm strong, right? Since our goal is to do *that* with each other, what's the point of dawdling? Let's get this over with and go our separate ways. I have to go out and look for a job later, I don't have time to play romantic games with you here."
"Um...but...but even if we were to do it...we should find a hotel room first...it's not comfortable to do it here...it's cramped and uncomfortable, and...it's easy for others to hear us..."
"So what if I heard it? What's there to be afraid of... What adult wouldn't do something like this? Getting a room at a hotel is comfortable, but I don't have the money or the time. I have a job interview coming up... Hurry up... If you want, take your clothes off quickly, or I'll tear them to shreds, don't blame me then..."
"Alright, alright... I'll take it off myself then! Honestly... Brother Yelu, you're really my nemesis..."
Then came the rustling sound of clothes next door, followed by another low gasp from the woman, and then a series of suppressed moans of "Mmm... Ah!"
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 214: 100,000 Yuan Per Time
Zhou Ziwei and Su Yan, separated by only one wall, could hear every sound coming from the other side clearly. They could even feel the plywood wall behind them shaking violently and rhythmically. As a result, the two of them stood there dumbfounded...
Zhou Ziwei secretly gave a thumbs up, inwardly praising: This guy next door... is really too fierce.
Su Yan bit her lip tightly, her cheeks flushed as if she had just been drunk, her chest heaving rapidly. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and simply covered her ears with her hands. However, the horrifying sounds still stubbornly seeped into her ears through her fingers, and she couldn't stop them no matter what.
Seeing Su Yan's strong reaction, Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He thought to himself, no wonder the driver and Su Yan reacted so strangely when Sanshui Street was mentioned in the car earlier. It seems that this place really is a red-light district. Even in a coffee shop, you can find these kinds of live-streamed short films... Although there is only sound and no picture, this is a real-life version. Even just the sound is exciting.
Su Yan turned her head and saw Zhou Ziwei looking at her with a half-smile. She immediately looked aggrieved and on the verge of tears. She leaned forward slightly and whispered to Zhou Ziwei, "Please... I really can't stay here any longer. We... we should leave here as soon as possible!"
Zhou Ziwei shook his head and said, "No... I haven't finished what I need to do yet, how can I just leave like this... Well, if you don't want to stay, you can leave first, I won't stop you."
"Ah...I..." Su Yan hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "No...I want to be with you, I...I'll wait for you. But...that voice is so embarrassing...they really...how about...how about we talk to the waiter and ask to change to another private room? Anyway, they don't have much business here, lots of private rooms are empty..."
"Why bother?" Zhou Ziwei nonchalantly picked up his coffee and took a small sip, saying, "They themselves aren't ashamed, so why are you, an outsider, feeling awkward? Heh... I still have to keep an eye on the entrance of the underground love bar! If we change to another private room, I won't be able to see it anymore. Just bear with it! Generally speaking, such a vigorous man comes in fiercely and leaves quickly... Maybe it'll be over in a few minutes, tsk tsk... You're getting a free live-action movie to enjoy, aren't you satisfied!"
"Hey... buddy next door, who do you think finishes in a few minutes? If you're not convinced, let's have a contest. You brought a girl with you, right? I'll give you a few minutes' head start... I want to see who finishes first, hehe... I'm known as the Invincible East, and I've never lost to anyone in this area... If I want to, I can easily go on for two or three hours straight... How about it? If you're not convinced, let's make a bet."
As the loud-voiced man from next door spoke, Zhou Ziwei and Su Yan were both stunned again.
Su Yan's already blushing face turned even redder, just like Guan Yu's, turning completely red.
Zhou Ziwei was more shocked. He knew that although the private rooms in the coffee shop had only soft plywood partitions and the soundproofing was indeed poor, it shouldn't be enough for whispers to be heard by the people next door. Just now, the two of them had been whispering in each other's ears to avoid being heard by the adulterous couple on the other side.
Even so, the guy next door who was doing vigorous exercise could still hear it, which clearly shows that the man with the rough voice was no ordinary person.
According to Zhou Ziwei's deduction, to hear his voice under such circumstances, that person would have to have at least three times the hearing of an ordinary person. Could it be that... that guy also has a superpower and can enhance his hearing at will like him?
However, Zhou Ziwei quickly dismissed this possibility. Perhaps the world is full of wonders. Since he, Zhou Ziwei, had such a miraculous experience, being able to be reborn after death and gain the ability to control the power of the soul, it is not impossible for others to have similar abilities.
However, Zhou Ziwei still couldn't believe that he would so easily encounter someone like himself. Moreover, the guy next door was clearly in a terrible financial situation. If he really had superpowers, he shouldn't be in such a miserable state!
Just as Zhou Ziwei was pondering the man's strength, the man, panting heavily from the relentless assault, shouted again, "Hey... buddy, are you chickening out? You have the guts to gossip behind my back, but not the guts to compete with me? Are you even a man... haha... have you already lost your temper?!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwei could only give a wry smile. He turned to look at Su Yan, who was so embarrassed she was almost fainting, and then raised his voice slightly, saying, "Hehe... let's forget it! I'm a very traditional man. Even if we were to do something so private, we'd have to find a quiet place. I don't want to be watched... Besides, the lady next to me isn't my girlfriend. Even if I really wanted to compete with you, she wouldn't be willing!"
"Tch... If you're a coward, then stop gossiping behind my back... Hmm... You little slut, you're really something... How come... you get even more excited when you hear people listening to us doing it... Haha..."
As the man laughed loudly, the woman in the next private room also started to scream louder and louder, her lewd moans and groans filling the air.
This made even Zhou Ziwei a little restless.
After all, he was a normal man, and he had just experienced the pleasures of lovemaking with Liu Xiaofei a few days ago. Now, listening to others doing that without restraint, he couldn't help but think of the feeling of being so intimate with Liu Xiaofei that day. Suddenly, his little brother started to get restless and soon a shocking little tent appeared on his pants.
Moreover, Zhou Ziwei's heart began to stir. He recalled the very obvious hint Su Yan had given him earlier that day. He knew perfectly well that if he really intended to have that kind of thing, even if he were to have a real, physical encounter with Su Yan right there, Su Yan, no matter how shy or unwilling, would not dare to disobey him and would only be able to silently let him do as he pleased.
However... Zhou Ziwei really didn't want to incur any more romantic entanglements, and he was even more unwilling to use the price of cursing Su Miao to coerce Su Yan into submitting to him against his will.
So Zhou Ziwei could only suppress his impulse and try not to think about those messy things. But the guy next door seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy him, and he became more and more vigorous, making the woman's moans more and more shrill.
What's even more dangerous is that, whether Su Yan was so stimulated by the sounds from the other end that she lost all her strength, or whether she wanted to prove to Zhou Ziwei that she didn't mind him doing whatever he wanted to her, she slowly leaned against Zhou Ziwei's chest. Even her full breasts pressed tightly against his arm, she showed no intention of moving away. This direct physical contact was clearly even more tempting, and if this continued, Zhou Ziwei really wouldn't be able to resist...
However, just as Zhou Ziwei was hesitating about whether to change to another private room, he suddenly saw that the street outside, which had been rather deserted because it was not yet the peak business hours in the area, was suddenly filled with many people.
At first, there were only seven or eight more people, then a dozen or so, and then... almost the entire street visible from the small window of the coffee shop was packed with people. And these people were all quite young, the oldest being only in their early twenties, and the youngest probably only fourteen or fifteen. Many of them were even wearing school uniforms, clearly students from nearby schools.
However, the students all looked very excited, their eyes wide and chests puffed out, some even clutching bricks and mop handles they had picked up. As for the older students, they weren't carrying any weapons, but the bulges at their waists made it clear at a glance that they were definitely hiding something.
What are they trying to do? Are they filming the seventh installment of the Young and Dangerous series?
Zhou Ziwei sneered inwardly. He had actually been mentally prepared for this situation, since his little ladybug had always stayed in that underground love bar.
Because the Night Elf Miss Zhang did not send out the document in her hand, the ladybug had no clues to follow up and could only stay in the bar. Therefore, when Cao Dong was calling for help, Zhou Ziwei had already heard it clearly through the ladybug's sensory system.
Since that guy surnamed Cao wants to play, let's go all out. If Zhou Ziwei really just wants to kill Cao Dong, he only needs to give Ladybug an order, and he can make that gang leader die of a headshot in public without anyone knowing.
However, that would be too boring, and it might also alert the night elves.
The Night Elves are an organization specializing in assassinations. If someone were to silently assassinate someone on their territory, even if that person wasn't one of them, it would likely create a sense of crisis for them. If they were to temporarily lower their guard and cease all activity because of this, how would Zhou Ziwei possibly complete his plan?
So... Zhou Ziwei still planned to solve this problem in another way. As early as when he heard Cao Dong calling around to call for help, he had already sent a short message out of his phone. Then he reinstalled a new SIM card in the empty SIM card slot on his phone and waited quietly.
Although he hadn't received a reply yet, Zhou Ziwei couldn't wait any longer, because Cao Dong had already led his two henchmen out of the underground lover's bar!
"You wait here... I need to settle accounts with those guys."
Zhou Ziwei gently patted Su Yan's shoulder, then stood up.
Su Yan, who was still feeling weak from the constant noise next door, immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing this. He was stunned when he saw the dense crowd outside, but then he resolutely stood up and said, "Ah... there are so many people outside, they can't all be... they can't all be with them, can they? You really want to go? Then I... I'll go with you."
Seeing that Su Yan was clearly frightened, yet still managed to say such things, Zhou Ziwei was somewhat moved, regardless of whether she was just saying it casually or genuinely had such thoughts.
However, he still smiled and shook his head, saying, "Forget it... You don't need to worry about me... Don't forget, I'm a god... Haha... These thugs outside are just a bunch of mortals. Even if I stand there and don't move, can they hurt me? Hehe... If you come out with me, I'll have to take care of you instead, so... You should just stay here and wait! Watch how your god brother displays his divine power and sweeps away these demons and monsters."
"I... I still don't want you to go out by yourself." Although Zhou Ziwei appeared extremely confident, Su Yan was still a little uneasy. Zhou Ziwei had already explained to him that he was not a god at all, and now Su Yan didn't know which of Zhou Ziwei's words to believe.
If he were truly a god, he wouldn't need to fear those petty thugs. But if Zhou Ziwei is really just an Interpol agent, and an undercover agent who can't easily reveal his identity, how could he possibly deal with at least a hundred or so petty thugs outside by himself?
Su Yan gripped Zhou Ziwei's arm tightly, almost crying as he said, "How about... we just hide here? They might not even know we're hiding here, so why do you insist on going out and fighting them head-on? I beg you, my dear brother... please don't... I know you're angry because those two thugs harassed me, but... anyway, they didn't really gain anything, so let's not bother with them anymore, okay? I'm already so happy and touched that you're so kind to me... I'd be happy even if you let me die right now, but you can't be hurt... So... either we don't go out, or... if you insist on going out and fighting, then take me with you!"
Zhou Ziwei was speechless upon hearing this. Su Yan actually thought he was so angry because of her...
It has to be said that Zhou Ziwei was indeed very angry at the time. Although he did not intend to actually possess Su Yan, what man is not selfish? He hadn't even dared to ruin this pretty, shy girl, yet those two beasts wanted to lay a hand on her. How could Zhou Ziwei not be furious?
However... to be honest, if it were just for that little thing, Zhou Ziwei would at most beat them up a couple of times to vent his anger, but he wouldn't have acted so rashly as to make such a big scene.
Now that Su Yan has misunderstood Zhou Ziwei's meaning and is moved to tears, Zhou Ziwei is naturally not foolish enough to explain anything to her.
It seems that the feeling of making a beautiful woman grateful is really... quite enjoyable... Anyway, this misunderstanding wasn't caused by Zhou Ziwei on purpose, so this... shouldn't be considered too despicable!
However, no matter what, Zhou Ziwei would never actually let Su Yan go out with him to face more than a hundred thugs. Even if he didn't want to show too much or too strong ability in front of others, as long as he relied on the Niu Family Tai Chi Fist, which had reached the Great Perfection level, Zhou Ziwei was confident that he would at least not be hurt.
However, if he had a woman with him, he would have a hard time guaranteeing Su Yan's safety.
However, Su Yan is now so moved that she insists on showing her determination to live and die with him. Zhou Ziwei is really having a hard time dealing with this. Should he knock Su Yan unconscious and let her sleep here by herself?
Just as Zhou Ziwei was in a dilemma, another terrifying roar came from next door, and then the violent shaking of the wall stopped abruptly.
Wow, that's it? That guy was bragging a lot just now, saying it would take two or three hours, but it was done in less than twenty minutes...
Zhou Ziwei chuckled inwardly. If he didn't have his own things to deal with, he might have said something sarcastic to that guy. But for now, he just chuckled and didn't say anything more.
Surprisingly, the guy next door had really sharp ears. Hearing Zhou Ziwei's laughter, he immediately snorted and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I was just bragging? Hehe... Don't get me wrong, I just lost control and deliberately finished quickly because I noticed you seem to be in trouble. How about it, want me to help you out? Hehe... I used to be a professional bodyguard. Like those scumbags outside, I could easily take down a whole bunch of them with one hand. If I weren't currently unemployed and didn't even have money for a hotel, I wouldn't bother with your business. But now... if you just give me a hundred thousand or twenty thousand, I'll take care of those guys outside for you. How about it!"
"Are you sure you can handle those hundred-plus thugs outside all by yourself?"
Zhou Ziwei's eyes lit up when he heard what the muscular man next door said. If someone else had said that, Zhou Ziwei would not have paid any attention to it. However, he had just realized how amazing the other person's hearing was, so Zhou Ziwei did not believe that the person had no special abilities.
Moreover, Zhou Ziwei was really curious about what kind of abilities the other party possessed, and whether he also had some kind of special and strange ability like him. Therefore, he immediately became interested when he heard the other party volunteer himself.
"Well... hehe..." From the next room came the sound of someone quickly dressing, accompanied by an awkward laugh from the man. "To say I'd handle everything... that's obviously a bit of an exaggeration. But I can guarantee that I can at least ensure the two of you get safely out of their encirclement. How about it? Just this once... 100,000 yuan, are you in or not?"
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 215: Human Tank
Zhou Ziwei was somewhat disappointed when he heard the man's answer... There were only a hundred or so thugs, and the man wasn't confident he could take them all down. He could only protect two people and get them away safely. It seemed that the man didn't have any extraordinary abilities.
However, despite his disappointment, Zhou Ziwei felt a great sense of relief. After all, if he really encountered a perverted guy like himself, he wouldn't know how to deal with him.
If you can become friends with such a person, that's fine, but if you become enemies, the outcome will be quite tragic.
"Hey... are you going to do it or not? Can't you give me an answer?"
The rough voice shouted impatiently, then came out from the next private room and started banging on the door of their private room.
Zhou Ziwei immediately went over and opened the door. Looking up, he couldn't help but secretly admire him: What a fierce and tough guy...
Because the two people next door had been doing adult things naked, Zhou Ziwei didn't want to become a voyeur, so he refrained from using his soul power to see through them. Therefore, he hadn't seen their faces. Now that he did, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
How come this guy is so tall... His height seems slightly shorter than Yao Ming's, but it's definitely over two meters. Such a height is quite rare among Chinese people.
And that muscular physique... it's such a waste that he's not a bodybuilding coach. He's as strong as a young calf... no wonder that woman next door screamed so loudly... Damn, with a body like that pressing down on you like that, it's impossible not to scream...
Upon seeing this guy's appearance, Zhou Ziwei felt a certain fondness for him... Of course, it was just a fondness based on appreciation, not some kind of peculiar hobby. Seeing the big man glaring at him impatiently, Zhou Ziwei didn't answer immediately. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "May I ask your name, brother?"
The burly man, as tall as half a mountain peak, raised his eyebrows and said, "My name is Yelü Xiaosu, but my friends usually call me Jesus."
I'm dizzy!
