Chapter 118 Did I hit someone?
At 5:30 p.m., the three arrived at the Western restaurant. As Qiao Yusheng had said, the restaurant was indeed very lively; if it weren't for the reservation being made in the name of the Ji family, the waiting list would have been a week in advance.
The Western restaurant was located on the 33rd floor of a high-end building, offering a beautiful view of the river. After being seated, surrounded by melodious cello music, Zhang Hui glanced at Jiang Lin on his left, then at Ji Xingyi on his right, feeling as if his forehead was brighter than a 100-watt light bulb!
"I really can't get used to this Western food. I'll go next door and get some Northeastern Chinese food. Call me if you two need anything!" Zhang Hui put down his fork and slipped away first.
With only Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi left, the atmosphere instantly became quiet.
"Don't you like it?" Jiang Lin asked, noticing that Ji Xingyi seemed a little distracted.
"I like it. I had too much to deal with today, I'm just a little tired." Ji Xingyi wasn't good at pretending, especially in front of Jiang Lin, and maintaining a normal expression was already his limit.
"Then let's go early..." Jiang Lin was interrupted by a familiar male voice before he could finish speaking.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Ji?!" Liu Yangyang was wearing a flashy jacket with a big logo today, and he was also carrying a green Submariner. He really looked like a smug little man.
Liu Yangyang plopped down in the chair Zhang Hui had just left in and fiddled with the wine glass on the table: "We really owe you two a lot the other day!"
"Get out!" Ji Xingyi said coldly. He didn't want to ruin Jiang Lin's good mood, so he gave Liu Yangyang one last warning.
"What did you say?" Liu Yangyang grinned maliciously.
“Brother Liu, are they also… (players)?” A man in his thirties, also dressed in luxury goods, walked over.
Liu Yangyang glanced at Ji Xingyi, stood up, and hooked her arm around the man's neck: "Let me introduce you, this is Brother Zhang, my next client!"
Jiang Lin suddenly realized that this guy was making a fortune in the dungeon; he was really risking his life for money!
"Hey brothers, want to join us? It's on me!" The man surnamed Zhang not only failed to recognize Ji Xingyi's identity but also showed no sign of the unusual atmosphere, speaking with an arrogant expression.
Ji Xingyi elegantly put down his knife and fork, and for the first time since the "Witch's Tears" dungeon, his eyes revealed a violent glint: "Get out!"
The man surnamed Zhang's face instantly turned ugly: "Brother Liu, it seems your two friends don't welcome us!"
Liu Yangyang squinted at Ji Xingyi like a venomous snake: "I'm not leaving! I haven't properly thanked you yet! You helped me pass the level!"
Before Liu Yangyang could finish his arrogant words, a loud "bang!" rang out as Ji Xingyi grabbed a glass of red wine from the table and smashed it over his head.
The spilled red wine was poured over Liu Yangyang's head, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whether what was left behind was blood or wine.
"You son of a bitch!" Liu Yangyang was about to grab the knife from the table when Ji Xingyi flipped the table over first.
The next second, a furious punch landed on Liu Yangyang's face!
Each punch was delivered with full force, and after two or three punches, Liu Yangyang was sent flying backward.
"Crash..."
The impact knocked over a whole string of tableware and dining tables, creating a loud noise!
"Aaaaaah!" The surrounding crowd screamed.
The diners at this high-class Western restaurant are all well-dressed business people. The female customers are all dressed exquisitely, wearing beautiful dresses. They have never seen such a brutal scene before, and they are all frightened and flee in panic.
Upon realizing that the person who had attacked was the eldest son of the Ji family, the owner of the Western restaurant immediately evacuated all the diners in the area. Without Ji Xing even having to say a word, the restaurant cleared the area and closed the passageway doors.
Liu Yangyang's brain was buzzing, his eyes were bloodshot, and he finally managed to crawl out, opening his bloody mouth and letting out a painful hiss.
"You!" Liu Yangyang's mouth was filled with black, and it was unclear exactly how many teeth had been knocked out!
He had barely uttered a single word, before he could connect "him" and "mom," when he was kicked again!
Liu Yangyang screamed in agony as he heard his ribs break. Gone was his previous arrogance; now, a look of terror crossed his face: "This is the real world! You wouldn't dare kill me!"
After confirming his relationship with Jiang Lin, Ji Xingyi became much more restrained, trying his best not to show his former unhealthy side in front of his lover. Therefore, Liu Yangyang only now realized what this tall man in front of her was truly angry like.
"Ha!" Ji Xingyi stood very elegantly, her expensive handmade custom leather shoes pressing down on Liu Yangyang's face, crushing it expressionlessly.
For the first time, Liu Yangyang's eyes showed fear when he looked at the man in front of him, but his twisted pride made him unwilling to give in. He glared at the man with his eyes slanted, but could only see the red sole of his shoe: "Everyone saw it! You fucking killed me, that's against the law! That's a death sentence!"
Ji Xingyi's beautiful eyes were filled with icy killing intent: "Murder is indeed illegal, but do you think it's illegal to make someone unlucky?"
You might get hit by a car for no reason while walking out, or encounter a mentally ill person having an episode while walking. Or, to be even more straightforward, you could be tricked into going abroad, turn into a little box, and come back. How would anyone be able to trace who that is?
Ji Xingyi disdained to use such methods, not that he was incapable of doing so.
This is the answer that the despicable upper echelons of this society give to the bedbugs in the gutter!
Jiang Lin glanced at Liu Yangyang, who was half-dead on the ground, then walked over, hooked the man's sleeve with her finger, and whispered, "I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Ji Xingyi suppressed the murderous intent on his face, took Jiang Lin's hand, and glanced at the man surnamed Zhang.
"It's none of my business! I just paid him to help me clear the dungeon! Don't hit me!" The man surnamed Zhang was so scared that he hid behind a chair and trembled.
Ji Xingyi sneered: "Did I hit anyone?"
"No!" The man surnamed Zhang shook his head without hesitation: "He fell down by himself!"
The restaurant owner greeted Ji Xing as soon as he came out, secretly glancing into the room out of the corner of his eye. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person was still alive.
Ji Xingyi: "It's a personal matter. I apologize for disturbing your business, boss."
Ji Xingyi still carried a lingering aura of malevolence, accumulated from the dungeon, something ordinary people in reality couldn't withstand. The restaurant owner nervously avoided the man's gaze: "It's alright, I've had all the footage from the restaurant's cameras deleted, but some customers might still have some footage."
"I will compensate for the store's losses at the original price. Boss, please apologize to those customers for me. I will pay all the bills, including tonight's expenses and any additional compensation." After saying this, Ji Xing left with Jiang Lin.
Downstairs next door, in a Northeastern Chinese restaurant, a pot of stewed goose in an iron pot was steaming hot. Zhang Hui rubbed his hands together and had just picked up his chopsticks when he felt a chill hit him. Looking up, he saw Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin pull out chairs and sit down.
Zhang Hui: "What? You two aren't full?"
Jiang Lin smiled and poured a cup of tea for the man with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Zhang Hui immediately called the waiter to bring bowls and chopsticks: "It's Western food, there's only so little meat, not even enough to fill my teeth, it's normal not to be full! We're eating goose, and let me tell you, it's freshly slaughtered!"
The rising steam from the pot blurred Ji Xingyi's vision, and he couldn't help but grab Jiang Lin's hand.
He originally thought he was enough to protect Jiang Lin, but after encountering Death Soul Island and the mysterious new world that Jiang Lin mentioned, he realized that he was just a paper tiger and could only deal with a rat like Liu Yangyang.
This feeling of powerlessness is extremely distressing.
Jiang Lin picked up a piece of meat and put it in the man's bowl: "Try it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
We must become stronger. Ji Xingyi looked at Jiang Lin and made a silent promise in his heart.
