Shen Qian seemed completely unconcerned about what Ye Guichen might do to him. After asking his question, he stared at Ye Guichen, wanting to see his reaction.
At this moment, the red wine was also served and placed in front of Ye Guichen.
Shen Qian grabbed the waitress's hand and yanked her into his arms with a strong pull.
The waitress screamed and struggled to stand up.
Shen Qian's face darkened: "Damn it, right now I'm the manager here. If you want to climb up, you'd better behave, or I'll make you unable to get by."
The waitress was instantly scared and didn't dare to move.
Tears began to spill from her eyes uncontrollably.
"Oh, Manager Shen, you're quite arrogant." Ye Guichen took a sip of his wine and said unhurriedly.
Shen Qian laughed loudly: "Little brother, what's the fun in life without a bit of arrogance? To be honest, no matter what your relation with Black Panther was, I advise you to be more sensible in the future. Stop bragging about knowing Black Panther everywhere you go. Black Panther is crippled now, and each of the bars under him are operating independently. Who the hell cares who Black Panther is!"
While talking, Shen Qian shamelessly touched the waitress's thigh and continued: "I heard that Black Panther was following someone named Mr. Ye, thinking he was somebody important. So what now? Haha, he still got crippled, right?"
"It seems that Mr. Ye is nothing special. But I didn't expect Black Panther to have a sister, and a beautiful one at that! Hehe, but so what? No matter how amazing she is, she's still a woman. Thinking she could dominate us like Black Panther did is just a daydream!"
"To be honest, our Brother Nine has already taken a fancy to that Black Panther's sister, Li Ruoxuan. By now, she's probably already under his control."
As he spoke, Shen Qian glanced towards the stairs on the second floor, sighing: "Such a beautiful woman. If it were before, who would dare have thoughts about her? Haha, now that Black Panther is crippled, the fierce tiger has become a sick cat. Pushing his sister into the spotlight is like begging us to play with her. And as for Mr. Ye, it's been so long and he hasn't even shown up once. Black Panther really got his eyes pecked out by following the wrong person."
Shen Qian was full of emotion but failed to notice the murderous intent deep within Ye Guichen's eyes.
Ye Guichen didn't expect that after Black Panther's downfall, so many people wouldn't even regard him seriously.
"Do you treat all the bar's waitresses like this?" Ye Guichen slowly put down his wine glass, still holding it with one hand, and asked with a smile.
"Hell yeah, since these women are here, I play with them as I like!" Shen Qian said proudly: "What, you think Xiao Li is pretty and want to have a go?"
As he spoke, Shen Qian lifted the chin of the waitress named Xiao Li: "Sure, I'm the manager now. Everything here is up to me. If you have the money, Xiao Li can go home with you, ha ha, but that depends on whether you can afford it."
The implication was clear: the waitress could offer more than just service work.
Xiao Li trembled with fear, pleadingly looking at Ye Guichen, shaking her head vigorously: "No, no! I don't want to!"
"Damn it, don't take kindness for weakness. Don't you need to earn money for your brother's education?" Shen Qian twisted the waitress's face: "If you dare refuse me, I'll make your brother drop out of school and bring him into my gang. By then..."
"Manager Shen, I'm sorry, Manager Shen, I'm sorry!" Xiao Li couldn't hold back her tears anymore. But thinking of her brother's future, her struggles turned into despair.
"Ha ha, that's better!" Shen Qian seemed extremely pleased with his methods: "Brother Nine said, to make money, you shouldn't stick to small details. Black Panther was always so cautious before, too afraid to step up and get anywhere."
Xiao Li was utterly despondent.
She hung her head, sobbing softly.
The other waitresses shook their heads lightly but it was clear that each of them had also been intimidated by Shen Qian.
But none of them dared to resist.
They were at the lowest rung of society. When Black Panther was around, these people might have had the intent but not the guts to act.
Now that Black Panther was crippled, the subordinates had become a scattered mess, all looking to make quick and easy money.
Especially knowing that Li Bao had actually pushed his sister forward, they were even more brazen.
Just a woman, what was there to fear!
"Shen Qian, let Xiao Li go," Ye Guichen suddenly said quietly.
"Let her go?" Shen Qian was momentarily stunned, a little puzzled: "What, I let her go and you pay?"
Ye Guichen shook his head: "I have no money, even if I had, I wouldn't give it to you."
"Oh, what then, you're playing me?" Shen Qian laughed: "Trying to stand up for that cripple Black Panther?"
Xiao Li was stunned too, looking up at Ye Guichen, apparently not expecting him to ask Shen Qian to let her go.
Ye Guichen smiled warmly at Xiao Li: "It's okay, things will be as they were. Even if Black Panther is crippled, rules must still be followed."
"Haha, turns out it's a fool!" Shen Qian finally understood. Ye Guichen was here to cause trouble.
"Alright, kid, seems you're a loyal dog of Black Panther. Didn't catch my drift all this time!" Shen Qian pushed Xiao Li aside: "Since that's the case, let me show you the consequences of pretending to be a badass here!"
Whoosh!
Following Shen Qian's words, a dozen thugs rushed over.
They all glared at Ye Guichen.
Shen Qian boasted: "See? Those who were disobedient and wanted to stick with Black Panther have been broken. Now these brothers listen to Brother Nine. Brother Nine is my boss now, got it?"
"Sir, sir..." Xiao Li was terrified. She hadn't expected Ye Guichen to stand up for her.
But now this bar was entirely Brother Nine's turf, Shen Qian was merely a manager under him.
With so many people, Ye Guichen was alone. He might get beaten to death today.
Ye Guichen slowly stood up, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and smashed it against Shen Qian's head.
"Pop!"
The sound was crisp.
The next second, blood started oozing from Shen Qian's head.
Shen Qian's pupils tightened.
He never expected Ye Guichen to actually make a move.
"You, you're asking for death!" Shen Qian was furious. Though dizzy, he still roared: "What are you standing around for, get him, get him!"
Ye Guichen completely ignored Shen Qian's screams. Suddenly, he thrust the broken bottle in his hand towards Shen Qian's face.
"Ah ah ah!"
Shen Qian let out a miserable scream.
All the thugs were stunned.
