Chapter 40: Trouble
Fan has never been to Kyoto, and the Kyoto he has always longed for is an immeasurable big city in his mind, just like the endless world of cars under the neon lights, and the fashion of the whole city is in full view from top to bottom. But when he really stepped into Kyoto and walked out of the capital airport, Fan Li only felt that the crowd in front of him was like ants, and it was not the crowds and cars that flowed endlessly, but the time that passed in a hurry, and in this city, time became the most rare and precious thing. He couldn't help but think of the words of a green-eared creature in a movie: Time is money, friends, but you don't have either.
Indeed, for a large number of dreaming young people drifting north in Kyoto, time and money are really not the same. Looking at the gapless road and the overcrowded subway, Fan Li began to congratulate himself that he had come to Kyoto just to find Ye Yuning's friends, not to take root and survive.
According to Ye Yuning's documents, there are hundreds of "charming" bars in Kyoto, all of which are the property of Wu Meiyan's name.
Walking on the streets of Kyoto, Fan Yi only felt that the heat was unbearable. Because it was already summer, Jialan checked the temperature in Kyoto in advance, and wore shoulders and shorts, revealing tattoos on her arms, thighs, calves, and neck. The tattoo on her neck is very familiar, it is a family tattoo, their family believes in a dragon-like mythical beast, extremely ugly, named Ying Long, this mythical beast is shaped like a dragon but gave birth to a pair of wings, in mythological stories once helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Kuafu and Chiyou. On the outside of Jialan's left thigh lay a huge green toad with fierce eyes, and on her right calf flew a few very small dragonflies. The most obvious is the avian tattoo on her arm, a small eagle on her left arm and a relatively small woodpecker on her right arm. Fan Li recalled that when she went to look for Jialan, she said that when she was a tour guide, she often wore a sports vest and flower shorts to go up the mountain, and I wonder if those tourists would not treat her as a kind person when they saw her tattoo.
Kai had no sense of the temperature around him, as if he had been less afraid of heat since he had been affected by the Nether Capital. He was wearing a long coat and trousers, carrying a huge travel bag, and not a trace of sweat was visible. Walking on the streets of Kyoto, Fan Li, one on the left and one on the right, is desperately attracting attention, and even the most anxious young office workers will cast a bunch or two of surprised glances, just like seeing a new species of orangutan in a zoo.
In the morning, the three of them found nothing, so they took a break in a Hunan restaurant. While waiting for the food to be served, Fan Li took out a map of Kyoto, and on the way here, he had already marked all the "charming" bars, and just now they had asked the three largest stores, and the answer they got was that they had not seen Wu Meiyan in person for nearly a month.
"The biggest and most luxurious, the smallest and most luxurious, and the earliest, these should be our goals, and what I'm worried about now is that Wu Meiyan is a 'charming' boss, and the owner of a bar of this size must have a certain strength, and those small employees may not necessarily reveal the boss's location to us."
"So what if we suddenly break in and chase after you to find Wu Meiyan? Her men will definitely come out to deal with us, and we'll beat them down one by one, but the boss will show up in the end. Kai said casually.
"Kind of makes sense." Jialan nodded as she picked up the ribs.
"Can you think of a gentler way to lure Wu Meiyan out?" Fan Li stared at the map carefully, he suddenly thought of something, then took out the huge diamond ring from his pocket and looked up at Jialan.
"It's a method, but it's not a pleasure to hit someone."
At eight o'clock in the evening, they came to Kyoto's largest "charming" bar, and after visiting here during the day, they only felt that it was no different from a restaurant, but at night it was different, when the lights flashed around, Fan Li's life was like coming to another world. There is a three-meter-long ecological water tank at the door, and there are three Arowana swimming in it, each half a meter long. Inside, the chandeliers with splash-like ripples, the original tree stump chairs, and the semi-dark environment cast a veil of mystery over the place. The moment he stepped here, Fan Lixi seemed to have found some kind of long-lost shadow, it was when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, listening to the teacher tell about the magical things in the aquarium, and fantasizing that he could see those fish and shrimp one day.
"Hey!" Jialan slapped Fan Li's shoulder hard, knocking him back to reality.
Going deep into the bar, a girl in a blue T-shirt was approached.
"How many?"
"Three." Jialan smiled at her, she looked around, this bar is really not small, there are so many people here, there are still a lot of vacant seats around, but what makes her feel unhappy is that many people are looking her up and down at this time.
"Please sit here." The girl waved her hand to the side, and they had just sat down when a gentlemanly dressed boy came over with a drink list.
"Hey, buddy." Fan Lifu greeted him. "Is your boss here Wu Meiyan?"
The dude hesitated for a few seconds.
"It's your first time in Beijing, and she opened all the 'charming' bars here."
"Then we've found the right one, call your manager here." Fan Li smiled at him, but he was indifferent, and then Jialan took out a hundred yuan and put it in his hand.
"Go and tell your manager that an acquaintance has come to him."
"Okay, okay, I'll go now, you can take a look at the drinks first." When the boy saw that the money was open, he put down the list and ran away, Fan Li was very surprised, he watched Jialan unhurriedly flip through the wine list.
"You're really good at this!"
"You really lack social experience, in such a place, it is not easy to make a mouth, only money is good." Jialan smiled helplessly. "When I was a tour guide, I used to appreciate the power of money."
After about ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit approached, followed by two men who were also in suits.
"Are you looking for me?" He stood politely in front of Fan Li.
Fan Li took out the diamond ring from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"I think you should have a way to contact your boss and tell Wu Meiyan that someone came to her with a diamond ring."
"I don't know what you mean." When the manager heard the three words "Wu Meiyan", his face sank, and he continued: "If you are drinking, we have a lot of imported drinks to provide here, if you are looking for trouble, I advise you to go." ”
When Fan Li heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, he turned to Jialan and asked for help, Jialan kept looking at Kai Crossbow, and then a half-drunk middle-aged man next to him stood up, staggered over, and patted Fan Li's shoulder.
"I said that you young people just don't know the rules of doing things, there are so many people chasing Mei Niang that you can line up in a train, even if you take a diamond over, what can you do, in the huge capital, there are more people who can afford to buy diamonds, you really don't have a lot of knowledge."
"Kai crossbow, let's follow your method." After hearing this, Fan Li squeezed his eyes at Kai's crossbow.
"Really...... It's true? Kai crossbow looked at the surrounding scene, and then looked at Fan Li, there were already a few people dressed as security guards walking towards this side.
"Of course." Fan Li said categorically.
I saw Kai crossbow suddenly slam the table and stand up, and punched the middle-aged man who was mocking Fan Li, where could he withstand such an attack, he was knocked to the ground by a punch, his nose bleeded, and he rolled on the ground. Kai turned around and picked up the manager, pulling him in front of him.
"Our young master has always done things first and then soldiers, you guys don't know what to do, it seems that you want me to make a move, right?" The two people behind the manager immediately threw out a ten-inch-long iron rod, and just raised the iron rod into the air, only to see Jialan shake the wine glass in his hand, the wine glass smashed on a man's face, and the other man was overwhelmed by Jialan's actions, who expected Jialan to rush in front of him like lightning, supporting the table with both hands, raising his legs to lock his throat, and beating him powerless with one move.
"I warn you, there's a price to be paid for being rough here, you don't know what ......," the manager had not finished speaking, and as soon as he turned, he threw him to the ground with a shoulder fall, rushing over and locking his throat with a kick.
Fan Li put away the diamond ring and stood up, he saw the security guards who came up, each of them holding a long stick, looking at Jialan did not dare to rush up, Jialan's speed was too fast, they all knew that whoever rushed up first would be unlucky.
Fan walked up to the manager and threw his phone out and threw it on his chest.
"Call Wu Meiyan and tell her that someone is rebelling in her territory, and if she comes, you will be saved." Fan Li pretended to smile evilly, but the manager still looked like he would rather die than give in.
Fan Li thought that conjuring a knife should be able to scare this guy, but as soon as the blue light flashed between his fingers, he only heard the scream of Kai crossbow, and when he looked up, Kai crossbow was wet all over, and some beer bottle crumbs fell down. Suddenly, a bundle of beer flew out from behind the group of security guards and rushed straight at Kai Crossbow, who raised his hands to block it, but was still knocked a few steps away by this force.
Kai Crossbow, who fell to the ground, was not reconciled and quickly got up from the ground. I saw a one-meter-eight tall woman squeezed out of the security group, wearing overalls, combing a lean ponytail, thin eyebrows and pointed face, her eyes revealed a bit of fierceness that a woman rarely had, she clenched her fists and smashed down according to the face of the crossbow, only to hear a snap, the crossbow actually took the fist with her palm, and firmly fixed the woman's fist, but when the crossbow and the woman's eyes were staggered, he actually showed a ** expression, at that moment, Fan Lixi seemed to see countless rainbows appear on the back of the crossbow, he was very happy.
The woman felt the strength in her hand suddenly disappear, turned her fist into a claw, locked Kai's arm, and threw him directly onto the table next door with an over-the-shoulder fall.
The table shattered, but the crossbow was unharmed, and he still had the same expression when he sat up from the ground. The woman picked up the stool on the side, and walked towards the crossbow with the stool in one hand, at this time Jialan swept the hall's legs, but she didn't expect the woman's feet to be nailed to the ground like steel bars, and she kicked her calves numbly, the woman turned around and threw away the stool, grabbed Jialan's shoulders with both hands, and lifted her up easily, that is, this one turned around, so that Fan Li saw her face.
"Stop fighting! She is Xie Ling! Fan Li roared from the side, this sound made the audience quiet, the woman carrying Jialan turned her head to look at Fan Li, Fan Li took out the ring and ran to her and shook it.
"This thing, Ye Yuning gave us, is called 'Night Star'. She said, "Just show you this, and you'll believe what I'm going to say." ”
