Chapter 328 Fireflies Guiding the Way
"What are you afraid of? I'm just here to test how hard your skull really is."
As she spoke, Jiang Youli placed her hand on Yu Hongtu's head, pressing her fingers against his skull as if she were genuinely testing its hardness.
Yu Hongtu instinctively tried to resist, but found that he couldn't move his body.
"Jiang Youli, what exactly do you want to do!" Yu Hongtu asked in a trembling voice, barely suppressing his fear.
Hearing the sound, the others, though unable to see clearly in the darkness, knew that Jiang Youli only intended to cause trouble for Yu Hongtu and didn't seem to intend to make things difficult for them. So they all remained silent, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen in the dark.
In the entire private room, only Yu Linglong was not afraid, because she knew that Jiang Youli would not hurt her.
But to her surprise, a large hand wrapped around her shoulder, and a deep voice whispered in her ear, "Are you scared?"
It is Longyuan.
Yu Linglong was taken aback, then whispered a lie, "A little."
"If you're afraid, get closer," Long Yuan said again.
“…Okay.” Yu Linglong had no choice but to pretend to move closer to him, getting very close.
Moved?
Oh, of course not.
She knew what kind of person Long Yuan was; he only treated her as his personal possession!
How could Yu Linglong be moved by such cheap concern?
Meanwhile, Li Zixuan was a little worried about his safety. He had been holding Jiang Yonghe, but now he curled up on the sofa and let Jiang Yonghe stand in front of him.
Jiang Yonghe gritted her teeth, cursing inwardly: Just now she swore she would get revenge on Jiang Youli for her! What a coward!
Jiang Youli answered Yu Hongtu's question as if no one else was there: "I didn't do anything. Like I said, I just came to test how hard your skull is."
"Why are you testing my skull?" Yu Hongtu continued, his voice trembling.
“Of course it’s for…” Jiang Youli drew out the syllable, then lowered her voice, speaking in a tone that only Yu Hongtu could hear, “that innocent child whose skull you questioned was not hard enough.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Hongtu was taken aback.
At first, he didn't react, but after he did, his whole body became incredibly stiff.
Could it be the incident two years ago when he was drunk driving and killed a family of three?!
But... but how could she know about that?!
"You...you want to avenge them?" Yu Hongtu asked, trying to remain calm.
Jiang Youli continued to press down hard on Yu Hongtu's head, occasionally pounding and tapping it, and said, "Yes, what's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Who are those three people to you?"
"I don't know him," Jiang Youli replied.
"Why would I take revenge on someone I don't even know?" Yu Hongtu simply couldn't understand why she would meddle in other people's business for a complete stranger!
"Who told me to find out about this? And I just happened to be looking for an excuse to deal with you." Jiang Youli said, tapping him on the head again.
Yu Hongtu gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Youli, do you still think you're the same village girl you used to be? It's not worth getting your hands dirty with blood because of someone you don't want to do! As long as you let me go, I'll have all the negative information about Chen Wang and Zhou Zerui removed from the internet!"
Jiang Youli chuckled lightly, "Yu Hongtu, is that all the backbone you have? I thought your backbone would be as hard as your mouth, but it seems your backbone is nothing special."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hands that had been covering Yu Hongtu loosened, and Yu Hongtu, who was covered in sweat, breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the next second, his head was struck hard by some heavy object.
"Ah!" Yu Hongtu screamed in agony.
"Snapped."
At the same time, the sound of shattering glass echoed in the darkness.
It's obvious that Yu Hongtu was hit on the head with a wine bottle!
A collective gasp filled the private room, but no one dared to utter a sound.
Because they could barely move in this dark space, they were no match for Jiang Youli, and any rash action would only put them in danger.
Moreover, even Long Yuan dared not utter a sound at this moment!
"Alright, Yu Hongtu, I'll spare your life for now." Jiang Youli finished speaking and stood up straight. Although the private room was pitch black, she was still able to find her way and walked straight out of the room.
When she stepped outside, a sliver of light suddenly appeared in the previously dark corridor.
Those are fireflies.
These fireflies gathered together, becoming guiding lights that allowed Jiang Youli to leave freely in the darkness.
Long Yuan shouted, "Stop her!"
However, no one could reply to him; only Jiang Youli scoffed.
"Long Yuan, don't you even consider your own situation? You think you can stop me? You should calm down the guests at the Never-Sleeping City tonight first."
Then, the sound of departing footsteps grew fainter and fainter.
In the dance hall on the first floor.
"Where is Young Master Long?! What exactly happened tonight? Why hasn't he come out and explained things to us yet?!"
"Yeah! How could there be a sudden power outage for no reason! Is it playing some kind of special game?"
We need an explanation for tonight's situation!
The previously restless and dissenting customers turned to look curiously at the approaching light source.
"What is that? Why is it lit up!"
"I feel like I've seen this in some book before..."
"That's right! They're fireflies, I think that's what they're called!"
"So fireflies really do exist! This is the first time I've ever seen one in my life!"
"Where did these fireflies come from?!"
"I do not know!"
As they were discussing, a figure appeared not far from the light source.
"Someone!"
"I saw!"
Jiang Youli followed the fireflies that were leading the way, calmly weaving through the crowd's gaze and stepping out of the city that never sleeps.
"The person I saw... looks like Jiang Youli."
"It must be her! Didn't she come to the City That Never Sleeps to find Yu Hongtu? Don't forget, there were rumors before that she could control some poisonous insects and snakes!"
Holy crap! She's absolutely amazing!
"So, the power outage in the City That Never Sleeps tonight was actually her doing!"
"That's even more impressive! This is Young Master Long's territory! She said she could cut off the power in Never Sleeps and it just happened! How did she do that?"
"Only Jiang Youli herself would know the answer to that. But is it possible that, since she can control poisonous insects and snakes, the power outage was also caused by these strange things?"
"That's actually possible!"
……
Even after Jiang Youli left, no one dared to utter a sound in the private VIP room.
Only Long Yuan angrily kicked over the coffee table and got up to leave the private room.
Stepping outside the private room, and watching the bodyguards gradually get up from the ground, Long Yuan stomped on the chest of one of the bodyguards beside him and cursed, "Useless!"
Jiang Youli actually managed to leave his place so easily!
This is tantamount to slapping him in the face!
His and Everbright City's prestige in Beijing's social circles will be severely damaged!
He must find out exactly how Jiang Youli caused the power outage in Never-Sleeping City!
The assistant, who was using his phone as a flashlight, glanced at Yu Linglong and hurriedly followed Long Yuan.
After an unknown amount of time, the previously dark private room finally lit up again, and everyone inside could see everything clearly.
Yu Hongtu was curled up on the sofa, his head covered in blood, which flowed onto the sofa and was quite a sight.
