129: Chapter 129 An Encounter in Front of a Night Bar (Part 1)

Xing Zhenkun heard this, his face froze, his brows slightly furrowed, and a vague sense of unease rose in his heart. He thought to himself: 'I knew it, Shen Jianan appearing at Nightlife Bar must mean trouble! This girl is always restless.'

Thinking this, he looked at Si Yao and asked with a hint of nervousness in his tone: "What happened?"

Si Yao frowned slightly, shook her head, her face full of curiosity and speculation, and replied: "They say several police cars came, along with an ambulance. Someone must be making trouble. Sigh, do you think it could be that Young Master Qin causing trouble? Didn't you say he returned from Jingnan?"

"Young Master Qin shouldn't be that impulsive, right?" Xing Zhenkun pondered and shook his head in response.

At this moment, Chu Muyun, sitting beside Xing Zhenkun, noticed the worry on his face and immediately suggested: "Cough, instead of us guessing here, why don't we go over and take a look? It's not far, just a few steps away."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ziming's face lit up with an excited smile, and he hurriedly chimed in: "Alright, I agree! Watching the commotion is much more fun than drinking."

Si Yao was also very curious, so she replied: "Then let's not delay, let's go together. If we're late, I'm afraid there won't be any commotion left to watch." Saying this, she stood up from the sofa and gestured for everyone to walk out of the private room.

Xing Zhenkun was worried about Shen Jianan's safety, so his pace was somewhat urgent, and he walked out of the Yaoye Club first, one step ahead of the three. Chu Muyun quickly followed him, her hand naturally linking with Xing Zhenkun's arm, and she raised her hand to pat it lightly, comforting him in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, didn't you say she is a police officer? She should be fine."

Hearing this, Xing Zhenkun smiled at her, gave Chu Muyun a grateful look, and then naturally took her hand. The four of them walked towards Nightlife Bar together.

At this moment, a cordon had already been set up outside Nightlife Bar, police lights were flashing continuously, and the surrounding crowd was bustling; there were quite a few people who had come to watch the commotion just like them.

Xing Zhenkun pulled Chu Muyun's hand, pushed through the crowd, and stood outside the cordon. He stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and looked into Nightlife Bar. Seeing no movement for a while, he looked at the person next to him and asked anxiously: "Hey buddy, what happened here?"

The man glanced at Xing Zhenkun, his gaze returning to the entrance of Nightlife Bar, and replied: "I heard the boss of this Nightlife Bar brought a bunch of lackeys to teach a customer a lesson. But who would have thought, that customer had skills, a Martial Artist, and instead, he taught the nightclub boss's subordinates a harsh lesson. They say someone even had their head cracked open..." As he spoke, his tone carried a hint of schadenfreude; clearly, he was no stranger to such fighting incidents in nightclubs. He speculated further: "I guess, nine times out of ten it's over a woman! Look, the 120 ambulance is bringing a stretcher down..." After speaking, the man stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and looked at the man on the stretcher.

Xing Zhenkun also looked toward the entrance of Nightlife Bar and saw two paramedics carrying a stretcher running out of the bar quickly.

On the stretcher lay a man with his head wrapped in gauze. Seeing that the injured person was not a woman, Xing Zhenkun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately after, a flash of worry appeared in his eyes again. He stood on tiptoe and, before the stretcher was lifted into the ambulance, took a hurried look at the man's appearance. Seeing that it was not Qin Yi, the stone in his heart finally settled, and a look of relief curled the corners of his mouth.

Immediately after, another team of police officers led dozens of people out of Nightlife Bar. At the end of the line, Xing Zhenkun finally saw Shen Jianan.

At this moment, she was supporting a beautiful girl, following behind the line, and walking slowly out of Nightlife Bar.

Seeing this, Xing Zhenkun felt a surge of joy in his heart, hurriedly waved at Shen Jianan, and shouted with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Jianan, over here, over here..."

Shen Jianan frowned slightly, followed the sound, and saw Xing Zhenkun in the crowd. She was slightly stunned at first, then made a shushing gesture at him, signaling him not to make any more noise.

Seeing this, Xing Zhenkun hurriedly closed his mouth and put down his waving arm.

On the side, Si Yao looked at Shen Jianan and Su Mo with great interest, and asked with a hint of teasing and playfulness in her tone, curiously: "Brother Kun, is that woman the acquaintance you mentioned? She looks quite beautiful..."

"Cough," Xing Zhenkun felt a tightness in his chest and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. He withdrew his gaze to look at Si Yao, and continued with a hint of seriousness and warning in his tone: "She is not your type, you must not have any designs on her."

"Tch, look at how petty you are. What? In your eyes, am I that kind of person who falls in love with everyone I see?" Si Yao feigned anger and questioned.

"Isn't it?" Xing Zhenkun raised an eyebrow, looked at Si Yao with a smile, and retorted with a hint of banter and teasing.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!" Si Yao said, pouting, but still curiously pursued: "What is her background anyway? Tell me."

Xing Zhenkun smiled, then lowered his voice and said in Si Yao's ear: "She? Her name is Shen Jianan, and she is the daughter of Shen Zhendong, the director of the Modu Public Security Bureau!"

Hearing this, Si Yao raised her eyebrows, glanced at Shen Jianan again, nodded, and said nothing more.

...

Just at this moment, Qin Yi also hurried back. He saw that the area outside Nightlife Bar was already bustling with people, and the police and curious onlookers were intertwined in a chaotic scene. Brother Dao's subordinates had all been escorted out by the police, but Brother Dao, Shen Jianan, and Su Mo were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yi couldn't help but furrow his brows, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and he felt very uneasy in his heart. He quickly parted the crowd, strode to the outside of the cordon, and was about to step in, but was stopped by a duty police officer.

"Hey, don't go in, can't you see the police are handling a case?" The duty police officer looked serious, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.

"I am a party involved!" Qin Yi said firmly, his eyes searching the crowd inside the cordon. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw Shen Jianan beside a police car. He waved at Shen Jianan without hesitation and shouted: "Officer Shen, over here!"

Shen Jianan had just helped Su Mo into the back seat of the police car, closed the door, sighed with a somewhat solemn expression, her eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and worry.

Suddenly hearing someone call her name, she was slightly stunned, then followed the sound, and when she saw that the person was Qin Yi, she immediately walked up to meet him.

Shen Jianan came to Qin Yi, showed her credentials to the duty police officer, and then instructed: "Trouble letting him in, he is also a party involved in tonight's incident."

After checking Shen Jianan's credentials, the duty police officer didn't say anything more, lifted the cordon, and signaled that he could enter. Only then was Qin Yi able to enter the cordon.

Opposite, Xing Zhenkun had been paying attention to the development of the situation, and as soon as Qin Yi appeared, he immediately noticed him.

Seeing his eyes light up, a playful smile curled the corners of his mouth, he pointed in the direction of Qin Yi, turned to Chu Muyun, Si Yao, and Ye Ziming, and said: "Hey, look, that is Young Master Qin! I didn't expect it, tonight's incident at Nightlife Bar really had something to do with him."

Chu Muyun heard this, followed the direction of Xing Zhenkun's finger, and looked over curiously. When she saw Qin Yi's appearance, she examined him carefully, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with great interest: "This person in the flesh seems a bit different from the photos. However, he is still quite handsome, no wonder our Mu Xue likes him."

"Handsome?" Ye Ziming touched his chin, pouted, and said in a jealous tone, quietly: "I think he's just so-so..."

Compared to the two who were focusing on Qin Yi's figure and appearance, Si Yao saw the anomaly in Qin Yi at a glance. She frowned and said: "This Young Master Qin seems to be seriously injured. It seems he met his match tonight!"

The three heard this and looked at Si Yao in unison.

Xing Zhenkun looked at Qin Yi, then turned to look at Si Yao, and asked with a frown: "Yaoyao, are you saying Young Master Qin is injured?"

"Hmm," Si Yao nodded, her tone quite certain, "It should be an internal injury. To be able to inflict an internal injury on a Martial Artist at the Mingjin Stage, it seems the other party is also an expert!" Saying this, her gaze swept over the thugs who had been escorted out and were squatting inside the cordon, and she shook her head: "These people are all ordinary people, they shouldn't be the ones who hurt him. It seems the person who hurt him has already run away."

...

Qin Yi bent over and crossed the cordon, scanned his surroundings, and finally fell on Shen Jianan, a wry smile curling the corners of his mouth: "It seems that tonight's commotion is quite big."

Shen Jianan shook her head helplessly and smiled, not responding to his words, but asked with concern: "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Qin Yi shook his head, indicating he was fine. Then, his gaze passed through the car window and glanced at Su Mo sitting in the police car. Su Mo was nervously rubbing her hands, her expression very tense and uneasy.

Seeing her appearance, Qin Yi was slightly touched in his heart, and then looked at Shen Jianan and asked: "What is the situation here?"

Shen Jianan looked towards Nightlife Bar, organized her words slightly, and replied: "The police are checking the situation in the private room. These thugs under Brother Dao didn't run, they were all caught. However, that Brother Dao is a bit cunning. As soon as I revealed my identity, he let these thugs block me. By the time I dealt with these thugs, Brother Dao had long run away."

"Cough, the monk can run, but the temple can't. Such a big business like this bar, surely he wouldn't just abandon it?" Qin Yi responded with a smile.

"Hmm, that's true." Shen Jianan nodded, though in her heart she didn't quite agree with Qin Yi's idea. Immediately after, Shen Jianan asked again: "By the way, what about the person who fought you? Didn't you chase him back?"

Qin Yi shook his head, a flash of regret in his eyes, and replied: "I chased him, but he let him run away again. However, I know his identity, maybe it will be helpful to you."

"Oh? That person's kung fu is very powerful, what is his background?" Shen Jianan asked curiously.

Qin Yi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "You should have heard of Hongmen, right?"

Shen Jianan heard this, her expression froze. Of course, she knew Hongmen; it was one of the largest gang organizations in the world. Although, the organization Hongmen was rarely heard of operating within the Dragon Kingdom now, it could not be ruled out that a small number of shady members had been preserved.

So, Shen Jianan nodded and replied: "Hmm, I've heard of it! Are you saying that person is from Hongmen?"

"That's right, that person is named Chen Mo, and he is indeed from Hongmen." Qin Yi did not intend to tell Shen Jianan all of Chen Mo's true identity. After all, such confidential information, logically, he shouldn't know. He was also afraid that if he said too much, it would inevitably arouse Shen Jianan's suspicion; it's better to avoid extra trouble. Moreover, Qin Yi was also preparing to find an opportunity to meet Zhao Lintai of the Zhao Family of the Capital. If this Zhao Lintai was targeted by the police, it would be inconvenient for him to take action. Besides, Zhao Lintai's reach was so long, who knows if the Modu police also had his running dogs.

Shen Jianan nodded thoughtfully, then said: "Chen Mo... I don't have much of an impression of this name. Later, when I return to the bureau, I will check the person's background using the internal network System."

"Hmm, by the way. How is Wang Hao?" Qin Yi asked with concern.
