UDMD Chapter 3: Big Talk
Li Xiao arrived at the bar, but it was still early, so there weren't many customers. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Chong sitting not far away, chatting with a group of people. His sister, Li Xiao Qian, sat alone on the side, accompanied surprisingly by a young girl with long hair.
The girl was slightly older than Li Xiao Qian, about the same age as Li Xiao, with delicate features and wearing the same school uniform as Li Xiao Qian, looking innocent and lovely. She was holding Li Xiao Qian's hand, and both girls seemed tense and stiff with nervousness.
Without hesitation, Li Xiao walked over.
"Sis!" Li Xiao Qian's eyes widened with surprise and joy when she saw her brother, her pretty eyes reddened like two peaches.
"Let her go!" His gaze was cold as he got straight to the point.
"You've arrived just in time, consider yourself lucky," Li Chong said smugly, then pointed to a bald-headed man next to him. "This is Fei Ge."
Li Xiao remained unmoved. "I don't care about Fei Ge or Fei Di. I'm here for Qian Qian. Li Chong, haven't you learned your lesson from yesterday?"
Fei Ge's expression darkened at the mention of yesterday's incident. "You, a young punk, dare to hurt my brothers?"
Thinking about yesterday, Li Chong's face also darkened, and he smirked sinisterly. "I was careless yesterday, but today, with Fei Ge here, let's see how arrogant you can be."
With a signal from Li Chong, Fei Ge snapped his fingers, and from somewhere, over a dozen people suddenly appeared, surrounding their table.
"You injured six of my brothers, three of them are still in the hospital. We need to settle this medical bill!" Fei Ge toyed with a sharp little knife, clearly trying to intimidate Li Xiao.
Throughout, Li Xiao remained indifferent. "They came to harass my family repeatedly. What I did yesterday was lenient. If there's a next time, they'll spend their lives in bed."
"Such big talk!" Fei Ge snorted, his patience wearing thin, his tone now tinged with anger.
"Two hundred thousand, for medical expenses and nutrition," Fei Ge said, lighting a cigarette and squinting at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao nodded. "No problem, two hundred thousand is not much."
"Oh?" Fei Ge was somewhat surprised that the other side agreed so easily.
But the next moment, Li Xiao's words almost made him spit blood.
"You give me two hundred thousand, consider it compensation for my sister's mental anguish, and I won't pursue tonight's matter."
There was a moment of silence among the crowd, and Fei Ge and Li Chong exchanged a glance, bursting into laughter.
"This guy's brain must be broken!"
Beside them, the girl sitting next to Li Xiao Qian couldn't bear it anymore. She pursed her lips and, pointing to her head, whispered in Li Xiao Qian's ear, "Is your brother okay in the head?"
Li Xiao Qian shook her head, worriedly watching Li Xiao, unsure of what he intended to do.
After a burst of laughter, Fei Ge's face suddenly turned cold, and he stabbed the knife into the table.
"Kid, it seems you don't know the rules!" With a wave of his hand, three burly men stepped forward, each holding a club as thick as an adult's arm.
As Li Xiao seemed about to be attacked, the girl next to Li Xiao Qian suddenly stood up.
"Don't mess around! I'm warning you, this is a society under the rule of law. You can't just harm people!"
All the men present immediately focused their attention on her. With stunning features untainted by makeup, even in loose school clothes, her graceful curves were still faintly visible. When they saw her fair legs under the short skirt, their eyes lit up with desire.
"Little girl, who are you?" Fei Ge's eyes scanned her up and down, as if he had never seen such a beautiful woman before, his gaze becoming eager.
"I... I'm Li Xiao Qian's senior sister!"
Under the scrutiny of so many fiery gazes, Mo Lingxuan suddenly regretted speaking out without thinking. She shouldn't have intervened impulsively; now she might be in trouble.
"Oh, a schoolgirl, no wonder you're so lovely. Tonight, accompany your big brother, and your brother won't treat you badly." Fei Ge said, his mind clouded by lust as he reached out to embrace Mo Lingxuan's slender waist.
Smack!
A crisp slap landed on Fei Ge's face, leaving five slender finger marks visible in an instant.
"With your pig-headed appearance, you think I'd accompany you? Dream on!" Mo Lingxuan was trembling with anger after being molested, her chest heaving with agitation, accentuating her stunning figure even more.
Rubbing his burning cheek, Fei Ge erupted in fury, cursing, "Damn it, you little bitch, have no sense of shame!"
With that, he raised his hand to strike back.
"Ah!"
Mo Lingxuan couldn't dodge in time, crying out in fear as she closed her eyes, bracing for the blow.
However, the slap never came. She opened her eyes to see an incredible scene unfolding.
Just inches from her face, Fei Ge's hand was suspended in mid-air, held back by two fingers pinched by Li Xiao.
The two seemed to be locked in a silent struggle, with Fei Ge exerting all his strength, his face turning red with effort, yet unable to move his hand an inch.
Meanwhile, Li Xiao stood casually, his expression unchanged, as if he wasn't even trying.
Seeing this, Li Chong broke out in a cold sweat, muttering to himself, "This can't be! This can't be!"
Fei Ge's henchmen watched in stunned silence for a moment, then exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and terror.
After all, Fei Ge was a burly man with strength twice or thrice that of an average person. Yet Li Xiao, with his slender frame, had managed to stop him with just two fingers, showing just how terrifying his strength was.
"Thank goodness we didn't provoke him," the onlookers silently congratulated themselves.
As Fei Ge exhausted his strength, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble with fatigue.
"Let's talk things out. No need to resort to violence against girls, don't you think?" Li Xiao smiled calmly.
Although Fei Ge was a gangster, he wasn't stupid. He knew that Li Xiao was giving him a way out, and he also knew that Li Xiao's strength far surpassed his own. If they clashed head-on, the result would only be him losing face in front of his men.
"Fine, let's sit down and talk," Fei Ge said, forcing himself to speak, though he felt relieved inside.
As they sat down, Li Chong became anxious, leaning close to Fei Ge and whispering, "Brother, if you let him go today, those brothers of yours would've suffered for nothing!"
Fei Ge felt a headache coming on. Being suppressed by Li Xiao, he felt aggrieved, but he couldn't match the other party's strength. How would he establish his authority in front of his brothers in the future?
"Since fighting won't work, let's settle this with a drinking game, shall we?" Li Xiao glanced casually at Li Chong and Fei Ge.
"A drinking game?" Fei Ge's eyes lit up at the suggestion. He had been drinking for over twenty years and had never been defeated.
Li Chong also felt a sense of glee. This Li Xiao was truly foolish, actually challenging the undefeated general of the drinking table.
"Then we need to set the rules. You and Fei Ge will have a drinking contest. Whoever passes out first loses. If you lose, not only do you have to pay Fei Ge two hundred thousand, but you also have to kowtow to me three times." Li Chong wasn't about to let go of this opportunity for revenge.
"Not only that." Fei Ge grinned greedily, casting a lascivious glance at Mo Lingxuan's graceful figure, licking his lips. "If I win, this girl stays with me."
"You shameless brute! He obviously hasn't drunk before, how could he win?" Mo Lingxuan's face flushed with anger, her delicate features adding to her charm, causing those around her to drool even more.
"I didn't say he'll be drinking alone with you."
Li Xiao toyed with the wine glass on the table, smiling lazily.
"What do you mean?" Fei Ge's face changed, thinking Li Xiao was about to back out.
Putting down the wine glass, Li Xiao touched his nose lazily, then lazily pointed around, emphasizing each word, "I mean, I'll be drinking with all of you."
