Chapter 35: Tight funds

The Browning was equipped with a silencer, which could undoubtedly kill people without them being noticed in such a noisy occasion.

No one dared to speak. More than a dozen women stood there with stiff faces, not knowing what to do. Zhang Xiaolei lowered his head, not even daring to breathe.

"Okay, we all want to have fun, there's no need to make things so serious." Liu Xun opened the beer on the table and said to the dozen women, "Sit down, this matter has nothing to do with you."

After Liu Xun finished speaking, the women sat down with unnatural expressions, and only Li Yan was still standing there.

"Come here." Liu Xun looked at Li Yan and said, then pointed to the empty seat next to him. Li Yan glanced at Liu Xun and also sat next to Liu Xun.

"Why do you want to do this? Are you short of money?" Liu Xun looked at Li Yan without any emotion in his eyes.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Li Yan bit her lips. The last bit of dignity in her heart made her dare not look directly into Liu Xun's eyes.

Liu Xun chuckled and stopped asking Li Yan. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaolei and said, "Xiaolei, do you know?"

When Zhang Xiaolei heard Liu Xun calling him, he nodded and said, "Brother Xun, I know. I heard from a classmate that it seems that her father has uremia and needs to be replaced..."

Before Zhang Xiaolei finished speaking, Liu Xun interrupted him coldly: "You are a very competent student."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaolei lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Xudong blocked a knife for you back then, and now you don't repay him, but you're making fun of him behind his back."

When he got to this point, Liu Xun picked up a bottle of beer and smashed it on Zhang Xiaolei's head with a bang. He continued, "Do you know where the knife would have hit if Xudong hadn't blocked it? The back of your head, the most fatal part of the human body! If Xudong hadn't been there, would you still be sitting here?"

Zhang Xiaolei's head was bleeding, and the blood was mixed with glass shards, looking very miserable.

"You are ungrateful about Xudong's matter, but what about Li Yan's matter? You and Li Yan are classmates, and your families are from neighboring villages, not far away. If her family is in trouble, it's fine if you don't help. You have sex with her, so what? Do you want the whole world to know about it? If the elders in your family know about it, wouldn't you be embarrassed?"

When Liu Xun said this, there was a "bang" and another beer bottle hit Zhang Xiaolei on the head.

"Xun... Brother Xun, stop smashing it. If you continue... I'm done for." Zhang Xiaolei felt like his head was about to explode. Blood flowed into his eyes, blurring his vision.

Liu Xun sneered and said, "Xiao Lei, Xu Dong's incident is enough to show that you are disloyal, and Li Yan's incident is enough to show that you are ruthless."

At this point, Liu Xun pointed at himself and said, "I know that I, Liu Xun, am not a good person either, but compared to you, I am God!"

"Brother, why waste time talking to him, just kill him." There was no emotion on Liu Zhang's handsome face. After he finished speaking, his left hand reached out to grab the Browning on the table.

"Brother Xun... don't." Zhang Xiaolei was really scared. He regretted coming to the bar today, and even more so, he regretted chatting up Liu Xun and saying so many things that he shouldn't have said.

"Liu Zhang, put your gun down. After all, he is from the neighboring village. As we are classmates, just spare his life." Just as Liu Zhang was about to shoot, Liu Xun shouted in a low voice.

"It really dirty my eyes." Liu Zhang put the Browning in Dapeng's hand, opened a bottle of beer and started drinking. In fact, he didn't really want to kill Zhang Xiaolei. After all, this is Jinan, not S City.

"Thank you, Brother Xun... Thank you, Brother Xun." When Zhang Xiaolei heard Liu Xun's words, he stood up swiftly, panting, and spoke loudly.

Liu Xun took a deep breath, threw a pack of tissues to Zhang Xiaolei, and said, "I'm here to accompany my brother today. I don't want to cause any trouble. Clean up and play as you wish."

Zhang Xiaolei picked up a tissue and began to wipe the blood off his face.

Liu Xun opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Li Yan. Li Yan took it but did not speak. Liu Xun sighed and asked softly, "How much money do you need?"

Li Yan did not reply, but just looked aside stubbornly. Even she herself did not know why she was like this. In short, she was afraid that Liu Xun would know about her and look down on her.

Although she had her reasons, working in this industry was not a glorious thing after all, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to get married in the future.

"Yan Yan is still short of 400,000..." At this time, a woman who had a good relationship with Li Yan spoke up.

Liu Xun nodded. He knew that kidney transplant surgery was not expensive, but it was expensive because it was hard to come by. If the price was high, it must be because the family was in trouble, otherwise no one would be willing to sell their kidney.

"Xiao Li..." Li Yan obviously still didn't want Liu Xun to interfere in her affairs, although she had no relationship with Liu Xun.

Liu Xun narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, grabbed Li Yan's long hair, and then dragged her in front of him. Li Yan was also in pain at this time and groaned softly, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Liu Xun was still mixed with stubbornness, just like the look in her eyes when she rejected Liu Xun six years ago.

It was a complex look, with stubbornness, resentment, and a hint of helplessness. Six years ago, Liu Xun didn't understand this look, but now... he understood it.

"Liu Zhang, Dapeng, you two take Zhang Xiaolei and them to another private room." Liu Xun took a deep breath and said softly.

Liu Zhang and Dapeng looked at each other. Although they didn't know the reason, they nodded and left the private room.

When only Liu Xun and Li Yan were left in the room, Liu Xun let go of Li Yan's hair and said softly, "I'm giving you money not for you, but for your father and your mother. Of course, if you want to continue to humiliate yourself, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Are you still in touch with... Meng'er?" Li Yan finally said the first sentence to Liu Xun, but the person she asked was Lin Meng'er.

"I met her a few days ago. She is married now and pregnant." Liu Xun took a sip of beer, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Everyone has changed a lot in the past six years. The only thing that hasn't changed is you. You're still the same." Li Yan looked at Liu Xun, sighed, took the beer from Liu Xun's hand and started drinking.

"I have changed, but you haven't noticed yet." Liu Xun opened another bottle of beer and said as he drank.

"Have you become more domineering than before?" Li Yan raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Xun and revealed a charming smile.

Liu Xun's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if Li Yan in front of him was still the same person six years ago, proud and pure, with every stubbornness and smile that touched Liu Xun's heart.

"Why did you reject me six years ago?" Liu Xun asked casually, recalling a scene from his student days.

Li Yan held the beer bottle in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Liu Xun and said, "Who told you to peek at me when I was using the toilet and scare me with a snake?"

"Is it because of Lin Meng'er?" Liu Xun did not chat with Li Yan on the topic of 'peeping in the toilet', but asked directly.

As a world-class special forces soldier, Liu Xun was also trained to guess a person's thoughts by looking at their eyes. So when he saw Li Yan's eyes now, he read not the boredom of the past, but resentment and helplessness.

When Li Yan heard what Liu Xun said, she fell silent. She had a very good relationship with Lin Meng'er back then, but their personalities were different. Lin Meng'er was an extrovert, while Li Yan was an introvert.

Before Liu Xun pursued Lin Meng'er, he teased Li Yan again and again, either peeping at her when she went to the toilet or scaring her with dead snakes and centipedes. Although Li Yan didn't have a good impression of Liu Xun at the time, it is understandable that Liu Xun's shadow had been imprinted in her heart.

Liu Xun pursued Li Yan again and again, and Li Yan was not sure about her feelings for Liu Xun. But at this moment, Lin Meng'er told her that she liked Liu Xun, and because of her relationship with Lin Meng'er, Li Yan backed off.

So the look in her eyes when she rejected Liu Xun that year was a complex one of stubbornness, anger, resentment and helplessness.

But Li Yan knew that even if she told the truth now, it would only cause sadness. There was no possibility for her and Liu Xun. Even if Liu Xun accepted her, Li Yan would not be able to be with Liu Xun. Not only because her identity had been known by many classmates, but more importantly, she did not want this man to suffer from rumors.

In Li Yan's impression, Liu Xun was arrogant, and would not tolerate any questioning or disdain in his eyes. She was already incomplete, so she didn't want to deceive herself.

"You are still as narcissistic as before." Li Yan glanced at Liu Xun, stuffed the beer in her hand into Liu Xun's mouth, and said with a smile.

Liu Xun drank all the wine in the bottle, then walked out and knocked on the door of Liu Zhang's private room, and Liu Zhang also came out.

"How much money do you have?" Liu Xun asked softly.

"There are less than 20,000 in cash, 1 million in the ordinary card, and 50 million in the gold card." Liu Zhang looked at Liu Xun and said, "Brother, is it worth it just for a woman? Now we have only this much liquid capital left. I can't move the shares of Situ Group at all now. 1 million! It's enough to do a lot of things."

Liu Zhang knew why Liu Xun wanted the money, but he thought it was not worth it. There was nothing wrong with giving the money to the villagers and Da Hu's parents, but he felt that it was not so wise to give it to Li Yan.

If you want to establish a foothold in S City, you need money. Human resources, material resources, and other things all require money to operate. Fifty million? Do you think it's still the 1990s? In a place like S City, fifty million can't even buy a villa with a good location! You can imagine how nervous Liu Xun and his men are now.

"I beg you, brother." Liu Xun looked at Liu Zhang and said with a chuckle. Liu Zhang sighed, took out an ICBC card from his wallet and handed it to Liu Xun, saying with a smile: "I have to admit defeat to have a brother like you."

"Brat." Liu Xun patted Liu Zhang's shoulder and walked towards his private room. Liu Zhang also shook his head and entered the room.

Liu Zhang would not say anything if Liu Xun used money, but Liu Xun used it on a woman, so Liu Zhang felt that it was not worth it. Since Liu Xun had already said that, Liu Zhang had no choice but to give it, so he could only sigh in secret. (To be continued)
