CHAPTER 1601: CHAPTER 1077: I’M OVER HERE! (FIRST UPDATE)

The entranced Zhang Lin, lost in a daze, could no longer control her body and involuntarily leaned against the person beside her.

In contrast, Mr. Takagi remained gentlemanly and composed, worthy of being called self-controlled, not making any inappropriate moves.

Indeed.

As a senior figure in the Yamaguchi-gumi, what kind of woman hasn’t he experienced?

Why are professional gangsters considered professional? Because those who get flustered and lose control over a bit of allure are just low-grade thugs.

Tong Dan, observing this, certainly didn’t develop any goodwill toward the notorious Yamaguchi-gumi.

Black forces are black forces.

Just like the big tigers in the officialdom, in front of people, don’t they always maintain the image of being selfless and righteous?

The subsequent scene confirmed Tong Dan’s judgment.

Even marijuana wasn’t enough; they saw a man in a suit bring over a bag of unknown pills, which he handed to Lv Kaiyuan at Mr. Takagi’s gesture.

What is a friend?

Can this even be called friendship?!

"Thank you, Mr. Takagi!"

Lv Kaiyuan, as if nothing was wrong, instead looked grateful and then ostentatiously displayed the bag of pills to everyone.

"These are good stuff, not something ordinary people can get."

With that, he took one pill from the bag and dropped it into his drink.

The pill sank slowly in the drink, a series of tiny bubbles forming, rising up.

"Haha."

"You..."

Instinctively, Tong Dan wanted to stop him. Ultimately, having a kind disposition, she recognized the varying levels of danger from drugs. Marijuana might still have a chance for redemption, but certain things once touched doom one to eternal damnation.

Just as she was about to speak, her arm was grabbed by someone.

Tong Dan turned her head to see Pan Yang silently shaking his head, "He’s had too much already, saying anything now won’t help."

Looking back at the flushed Lv Kaiyuan, Tong Dan fell silent.

He’s overindulged, but Lv Kaiyuan surely knows what he’s doing. He took the drink with the pill, gulped a large mouthful, then squinted his eyes, basking in enjoyment and comfort. He sat for half a minute before relaxing, then exuberantly said: "Go ahead, all of you try it."

Whether reason was devoured or it wasn’t the first time, no one refused.

And as the provider of this "source of joy," Mr. Takagi at most just drank wine, never touching either marijuana or pills.

"Tong Dan, drink, guaranteed to make tonight unforgettable for you."

Lv Kaiyuan was indeed a man of his word.

A normal dating partner would definitely flee head over heels after witnessing such a scene.

A drink with a pill went through several hands before reaching Tong Dan.

Staring at the deeply colored drink, Tong Dan remained motionless as a hand reached out beside her.

Tong Dan frowned deeply and instinctively pressed down on Pan Yang’s arm, "Are you crazy? You dare to drink anything?!"

She knew he meant well, but such kindness, she couldn’t bear!

With her left hand pressing down on Pan Yang’s arm, as possibly the only other sober person aside from the Yamaguchi-gumi Crown Prince present, Tong Dan used her right hand to grab that cup of sinful liquor and smashed it to the ground.

"Smash!"

The glass shattered upon impact.

Liquor splattered.

The sudden turn of events brought the others out of their daze slightly.

"Tong, Tong Dan, what are you doing?"

A perplexed driver murmured.

The noise also drew the attention of surrounding guests, but they merely glanced over and continued their revelry, with no one intervening further.

"Are you going to let me go or not?!"

Tong Dan demanded, with furrowed brows and icy eyes, losing patience.

"Go?"

Lv Kaiyuan stood up agitated as well, provoked repeatedly, he too lost control of his emotions.

"I told you nicely but you didn’t listen, did you? You’re really bent on ruining everyone’s fun, aren’t you shameless?!"

There’s no need to argue with a drunk, let alone one high on drugs.

"When I went to the restroom earlier, I already called my friends. If I don’t make it out safely in an hour..."

"Ha ha, ha ha ha..."

Lv Kaiyuan broke into gales of laughter, not even waiting for Tong Dan to finish speaking, "Tong Dan, so you consider us your enemies, huh? Fine, tonight I’ll see how you leave. You have friends in Tokyo too, right? Then, go on, have your friends come pick you up!"

Lv Kaiyuan’s eyes were fierce, unrestrained.

Indeed.

The Crown Prince of the Yamaguchi-gumi sat beside him, providing his confidence.

Tong Dan looked toward her phone standing in the ice bucket.

Even though she had no idea what use that message could be, there was one thing she was certain of—that guy, or rather Fang Qing, would definitely not abandon her.

"Fine, then let’s wait."

"..."

Lv Kaiyuan was taken aback.

But Tong Dan already sat back down.

Going head-on wouldn’t work.

She could only outsmart them.

Sure enough.

At least no one forced her to "do drugs" anymore.

Time ticked by.

"Tong Dan, where’s your friend? Weren’t they coming to rescue you?"

Lv Kaiyuan sneered.

Tong Dan ignored him, paying no attention, not knowing how many times she had "cursed" a certain someone in her mind.

At this moment.

Outside the nightclub.

A military jeep drove into the outdoor parking lot, its imposing and sharp exterior instantly becoming the most eye-catching presence in the lot.

The parking lot security exchanged puzzled looks.

About forty minutes had passed since that "I found oil here" message.

"Tong Dan, if you drink this glass, you can leave immediately."

Lv Kaiyuan put another pill into the drink, negotiating terms.

Tong Dan, of course, would not fall for it, being under duress but still not losing momentum, though her heart raced, her words were unyielding, "Your time is running out."

Lv Kaiyuan was taken aback, then clutched his thigh, laughing heartily.

But soon enough.

He couldn’t laugh anymore.

A brawny man in black approached, whispering something in Mr. Takagi’s ear.

From start to finish, Mr. Takagi, who had been an uninvolved observer, suddenly changed his expression, furrowing his brow, looking toward his subordinate incredulously.

Immediately.

The colorful nightlife of the club suddenly turned chaotic, and patrons began to halt, collectively clearing a path.

Mr. Takagi swiftly stood up.

Tong Dan sensed something, turned around, and froze abruptly.

Three American soldiers in uniform were striding toward them with the bearing of tigers and dragons.

The entire bar was stunned.

Although there were only three of them, their uniforms symbolized an unshakable status on Dongying soil!

It’s really the US Army!

The American military indeed appeared!

But where were the entrenching tools?

Weren’t they here to drill for oil?

With sharp eyes, some recognized the man leading, a middle-aged officer, and felt a great chill.

Lieutenant!

Like someone had pressed a pause button, Lv Kaiyuan’s smile froze, his mouth agape.

"Lieutenant, I’m Takagi Shouji, the owner here. May I ask..."

"Where is Ms. Tong Dan."

The US Army Lieutenant was concise, expressionless.

"I, I’m right here!"

People turned their heads.

Tong Dan not only stood up but also vigorously raised her hand.

Lv Kaiyuan and others’ gazes shifted stiffly from the soldiers to her, even more stupefied.

Pan Yang, who frequently traveled to Dongying for business, sat foolishly next to Tong Dan, losing the ability to think.
