Chapter 82 Private Room
The dimly lit private room was filled with smoke, the smells of alcohol and e-cigarettes mingling together. The already stale air, combined with these smells, made Jiang Mian feel that the air was even more unpleasant in an instant, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Rock music was blaring loudly inside the private room.
Qi Xu was wearing a white shirt and black pants. The white shirt was now soaked with alcohol and clung to his thin body. He knelt on the ground with his pink head hanging down and his two pink droopy rabbit ears drooping down.
His pink hair appeared to have been hit by a liquor bottle; blood could be vaguely seen seeping out, and his hair was wet and stuck together with liquor. The pink ends of his hair were still dripping with liquor, clearly indicating that he had just been hit.
Moreover, the ground was littered with shattered glass bottles, and blood and glass shards were mixed together and scattered around Qixu, as if more than one glass bottle had been broken.
A man was kneeling next to Qixu.
Jiang Mian immediately recognized the man as the one who had spoken to Qi Xu in the surveillance footage, and then Qi Xu followed him to the private room.
For a moment, Jiang Mian was confused, not knowing why Qi Xu had come in or what had happened inside.
However, she knew that Qixu must have been abused here.
Jiang Mian looked up at the man sitting on the sofa in the middle.
A man sat on the sofa in the center, his legs crossed. He wore a wide-open red silk shirt that revealed his fair chest, black striped trousers, and his arms were also wide open, draped over the red leather sofa behind him. Two female orcs were on his left and right sides, and he had an e-cigarette in his mouth.
His hair was jet black, and smoke filled his cynical and wicked face.
The man reached out and took the e-cigarette out of his mouth, and naturally looked at Jiang Mian. To be precise, his gaze had been on Jiang Mian from the moment she entered the room.
He narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly, raised his fair chin, and whistled lightly at Jiang Mian: "Hey, beautiful, wanna play together?"
"I've come to take my orcs away." Jiang Mian simply walked slowly toward Qi Xu.
Qi Xu seemed to finally notice something and suddenly turned to look at Jiang Mian. He was still wearing a mask, but the blood flowing down his forehead had stained half of the mask red, and it slid down his side, winding down to his neck and disappearing into his clothes.
"Then you should ask him if he's willing to leave." The man simply smiled, his red lips curving upwards.
The bald man next to Qi Xu suddenly looked at him, his gaze sinister, as if he were warning him something.
Qi Xu noticed this, but only slightly lowered her pink eyes and ignored the bald man's warning. She slowly got up and walked to Jiang Mian, who stopped in her tracks as he approached.
Qi Xu looked at her, her voice slightly hoarse, and said softly, "Master, I'm sorry, Qi Xu left without informing you."
His first words were an apology.
Jiang Mian paused, then simply asked, "What happened?"
Qi Xu was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, you should go back first. I will go back later. Please give Qi Xu some time to deal with some things. Qi Xu will not run away."
Jiang Mian paused. The chip in his brain was still bound to her. If he ran away, wouldn't he have a death wish? She figured he wouldn't dare to run away.
Putting all that aside, now that the other party is considered her person, how could she let him stay here alone to face these people who clearly aren't good people?
“Just tell me what it will take for you to leave, and I’ll help you resolve it,” Jiang Mian said directly. “Am I not your master? Naturally, I, as your master, should handle matters concerning beast slaves.”
Qi Xu hesitated, seemingly unsure whether to involve Jiang Mian in this matter.
His master had already been very kind to him, and he really had no face to involve her in his own affairs any further. Qi Xu lowered his eyelids; he didn't want to drag her into it, as it had nothing to do with his master.
“Beautiful lady~” The man sitting on the red sofa in the center spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Mian’s face, “Your beast slave said he would help this bald idiot finish drinking a hundred bottles of wine to pay off his debt. Now it’s twenty-one bottles, and there are still seventy-nine bottles left.”
Jiang Mian's eyebrows and eyes twitched when she saw the boxes full of wine bottles next to her.
These drinks were extremely expensive, but they were smashing them as they pleased, even hitting people on the head.
Jiang Mian seemed to understand something at first, and turned to look at Qi Xu: "You did this voluntarily?"
She didn't know why Qixu was willing to help that bald man endure being hit on the head with a hundred bottles of wine.
How could anyone withstand that? An ordinary person would collapse if a bottle were smashed on their head. Even though Qixu is an orc with excellent recovery abilities, he's not made of iron.
And before she came to him, this guy had already had twenty-one glass bottles of liquor smashed!
Qixu is still not knocked unconscious, that's godlike.
"Yes, Master, I am doing this willingly." Qi Xu looked at her, blood flowing down his forehead and covering his mask. His voice was extremely soft, clear, and obedient. "There are still seventy-nine bottles left. Qi Xu will be able to finish them soon."
Jiang Mian felt that there must be a reason why he helped that bald man who looked like a bad guy get hit on the head with a bottle to pay off his debt.
But what exactly is the reason? It seems that Qixu doesn't want to tell her now and intends to solve it herself.
"How much debt? I'll pay it for you, no need to smash the bottle." Jiang Mian didn't dwell on the reason anymore; if money can solve it, then it's not a problem.
The man took a drag of his e-cigarette, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips: "You're going to pay off his debts?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xu frowned slightly, tugged at Jiang Mian's sleeve, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, there's no need. Qi Xu will be able to finish the rest of the wine bottles soon."
Jiang Mian ignored Qi Xu and stepped forward: "Yes, how much money do you want to pay back?"
The man's luscious lips curved into a smile, and he raised an eyebrow: "If you're going to pay off his debts, then it's not about paying back money, but about using something else to settle the debts."
Jiang Mian frowned and said coldly, "What do you mean?"
"How about we play a game?" The man lowered his long legs, leaned forward slightly, crossed his arms, and looked at her with a cigarette in his mouth. His voice was hoarse. "You win. The debt is settled."
"What game?" Jiang Mian frowned.
Qi Xu kept urging Jiang Mian to go back, and kept saying that she could handle it herself.
However, Jiang Mian and the man continued talking, ignoring Qi Xu's words.
One naturally wanted to take Qixu away, and the other was naturally interested in Jiang Mian.
Qi Xu could only purse her lips, her pink eyes looking at Jiang Mian with complicated emotions.
