Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Who Is This Mysterious Person?

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianfan found himself with Huang Xiaorou holding his arm, his mind raced as if a thousand alpacas ran through it—damn it, the chaos has landed on him!

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. One Qin Ruomeng is already enough to stress him out, and now Huang Xiaorou has appeared. Although the Huang Group isn't one of the top four conglomerates in Jiangzhou City, it still ranks in the top ten. Calling them a wealthy family would not be an exaggeration!

"Well… Ms. Huang, you might have misunderstood… I'm just a bartender, there are plenty of handsome guys here, why cling to this one tree? Look at the men in this bar, isn't each one charming and suave? Don't give up the whole forest for just one tree like me!"

Ye Tianfan quickly explained and instinctively tried to pull his arm out of Huang Xiaorou's hold. But just as he managed to withdraw his arm, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura, startling him greatly.

Who is it?

Ye Tianfan immediately looked up, his sharp gaze scanning the crowd. Before he could pinpoint where the killing intent was coming from, he saw a cloud of sand grains being scattered toward Qin Ruomeng and Huang Xiaorou!

Cold Sand in the Rain!

Upon seeing it, Ye Tianfan's pupils constricted instantly.

Cold Sand in the Rain is a poisonous hidden weapon that was introduced to China from the western region years ago, used by a dark organization called Yama Hall, and was thought to have been lost long ago! How did it suddenly appear here?

Ye Tianfan's face showed a hint of surprise, but his movements did not slow. Almost instinctively, he grabbed an empty glass on the bar counter and spun it rapidly in his right hand, forming a swirling force in the palm of his hand within the glass.

As the tiny sand grains were about to fall on Qin Ruomeng and Huang Xiaorou, Ye Tianfan gave the glass a slight shake, and the swirling force inside, like a giant black hole, absorbed all the tiny flying sand particles into the glass, neutralizing the powerful Cold Sand in the Rain.

All this happened in a flash, and Qin Ruomeng and Huang Xiaorou remained oblivious. Upon looking up, Ye Tianfan still had a lazy smile on his face.

Looks like staying in this bar is impossible! Better skedaddle quickly, who knows what might happen next? Ye Tianfan discreetly poured the sand from the glass into the trash bin, then strode toward the restroom.

"Ye Tianfan, where are you going?" Qin Ruomeng suddenly asked.

Ye Tianfan lazily glanced back and said, "You can manage heaven and earth, but can you manage my bowel movements? I need to go to the restroom!"

With that, Ye Tianfan turned and left, but the voices of Qin Ruomeng and Huang Xiaorou soon carried over from behind: "I'm coming with you!"

"What?" Ye Tianfan instinctively paused, his mouth twitching as he turned to look at the two women, saying, "Ladies, I'm going to the restroom, why are you following? To hold my second brother, one on each side?"

These words left Qin Ruomeng and Huang Xiaorou blushing, realizing their own misconduct, they instinctively gave a light cough.

As Ye Tianfan headed into the restroom, the gaze of Qin Ruomeng and Huang Xiaorou naturally turned to Li Boran.

"Xiao Rou, let me explain… I…"

Huang Xiaorou snorted coldly and spoke, "Li Boran, I've pampered you, done everything to cater to you. You wanted to join the Huang Corporation; I granted that. You sought the position of general manager; I went to my father for you. And this is how you repay me?"

Seeing Huang Xiaorou's frosty expression, Li Boran realized that he couldn't stay with the Huang Family anymore, and roared, "Ha, don't talk about yourself like you're so noble! Do you even know why I'm seeing other women? Any normal man wouldn't be able to handle it, never touching you after being together for two years!"

"Even if you don't dump me, I can't take you anymore!"

Knowing Huang Xiaorou would likely not forgive him, Li Boran decided to let things fall apart.

With those words, Li Boran turned to leave, but Huang Xiaorou suddenly called out: "Stop!"

Li Boran paused, hoping Huang Xiaorou recognized her fault, and turned: "What else…"

"Slap!" A loud slap sounded, as Huang Xiaorou shook her hand, numbed by the force, and coldly said, "Li Boran, what do you think I am? Can you just start or end a relationship on your whim?"

Although slapped, Li Boran dared not hit back, only glaring at Huang Xiaorou with anger: "What else do you want?"

Huang Xiaorou smirked coldly, saying, "What do I want? I want you to never think about a woman again for the rest of your life!"

Hearing this, Li Boran's face changed instantly! With the Huang Family's influence, this was definitely not an idle threat! And knowing Huang Xiaorou's character, she could definitely carry out such horrific deeds!

"Xiao Rou, please listen, you can't do this to me, I truly love you… I…"

Huang Xiaorou frowned, waved her hand, and angrily said, "Bring some people, drag him away, you know what to do!"

With those words, the Huang Family's plainclothes bodyguards hidden in the bar immediately sprang forward, dragging Li Boran out without a word. His hysterical cries could be heard from outside the bar: "Xiao Rou, I was wrong, please forgive me, forgive me…"

After dragging Li Boran away, Qin Ruomeng finally responded, frowning slightly, and whispering, "Why hasn't Ye Tianfan returned after so long?"

Huang Xiaorou also frowned, looking towards the restroom in the bar, but Ye Tianfan was nowhere to be seen.

"Go see what's happening!" Qin Ruoxue waved her hand, and the bodyguards quickly headed to the men's restroom, soon discovering its window open—Ye Tianfan had jumped out!

Upon hearing this news, Qin Ruomeng's face changed dramatically! Her eyes filled with anger!

Ye Tianfan! Do you really not want to marry me? What's wrong with me, Qin Ruomeng, to make you escape through a window?

"Miss, what should we do now? Should we go back?" a bodyguard whispered behind Qin Ruomeng.

Thinking of her grandfather lying in the ICU, at risk of death at any moment, Qin Ruomeng's face turned cold as frost!

Ye Tianfan, no matter what, I must make you save my grandfather today! Let's see about that!

"Go!" Qin Ruoxue bit her silver teeth, and said one word in a deep voice, turning to leave the bar.

At this moment, Huang Xiaorou showed a slight knowing smile at the corner of her mouth.

Rumor has it that the Qin Family has established its dominance in Jiangzhou City's business world all thanks to support from a mysterious family!

Many enterprises in the business community have investigated this mysterious family behind the Qin Family, hoping to establish ties.

But due to the Qin Group's watertight confidentiality, decades have passed with all investigations coming up empty.

Until today, Qin Ruomeng's extreme reaction made Huang Xiaorou reconsider Ye Tianfan! Otherwise, with Qin Ruomeng's demeanor, how could she react so violently? Even letting slip some foul language!

At this moment, Huang Xiaorou gazed at the bar's entrance, murmuring to herself: "Ye Tianfan, just who are you?"
