Chapter 173: Exchanging Contact Information

Song Wanning didn't move her body, instead hooking a finger at the scumbag.

The scumbag burst out laughing instantly, walking excitedly in her direction.

Cornered, Jiang Xiuxiu still shouted to Song Wanning at this moment, "Run! Don't mind me!"

But the next second, Jiang Xiuxiu saw Song Wanning slightly parting her legs to steady her stance, facing the scumbag not only without running, but even assuming a welcoming posture.

Jiang Xiuxiu was so frightened she closed her eyes.

Who would have thought that the next second, she would unexpectedly hear the scumbag's miserable screams.

"Ah! My stomach!"

"Ah! My eyes!"

……

After a few miserable screams, all motion ceased.

Jiang Xiuxiu slowly opened her eyes from covering her face, peeking through the gaps between her fingers at the situation outside. She saw that the man who had just been so arrogant was now sprawled flat on the ground.

And the pretty big sister who had saved her stood firmly in place, completely unscathed.

Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes instantly transformed into starry eyes of adoration, "Wow! You are so amazing! You knocked down such a tall man just like that. How did you do that……"

Song Wanning glanced at the young girl, noting her strong mental resilience; encountering such an event, she could smile in the blink of an eye.

"Just…… threw a punch out!"

"Then can you teach me?"

Jiang Xiuxiu frequented bars year-round, so running into this kind of situation again was inevitable.

"You're a little girl, why must you come to a place like this?"

Hearing Song Wanning ask this, Jiang Xiuxiu's gaze immediately dimmed a fraction. Did the pretty big sister also think she was that kind of casual person?

As a result, the next second she heard Song Wanning say, "Coming here is dangerous. It's a good thing you met me; don't come to a place like this again next time."

Jiang Xiuxiu shook her head, "I…… the pay is high here, you see. Let's exchange contact information. When you have time, can you teach me that super awesome boxing technique?"

Song Wanning didn't want to casually give her phone number to others, but she found the young girl before her somewhat familiar and nodded, "Alright."

So she recorded her phone number for the other person.

Song Wanning still had matters of her own to attend to, and Jiang Xiuxiu was rushing to her next singing set, so the two of them parted ways.

Upon returning to the bar lounge, Song Wanning saw Wen Jingxing walking toward her. "Why did you take so long?"

"It's nothing, just went to squash an annoying little bug," Song Wanning replied like this.

"A little bug?……"

Cheng Mu watched Jiang Xiuxiu return to the stage to perform again and said to Song Wanning, "Miss Song, she's back again."

At this moment, Jiang Xiuxiu had changed back into her original clothes and hairstyle. Finding her familiar, Song Wanning recognized her. Wasn't this the person she was looking for?

She seemed to have seen her somewhere just now……

Seeing that Song Wanning still hadn't made a move, Cheng Mu couldn't help asking again, "Miss Song, what are you going to do by snatching her?"

By now, Song Wanning had sobered up somewhat. Connecting the current Jiang Xiuxiu with the earlier Jiang Xiuxiu, she said to Cheng Mu, "It doesn't matter, I've already gotten her contact information."

"Ah?" Cheng Mu was startled.

Was it really that fast?

Song Wanning was in a great mood. Indeed, doing good deeds always brings good rewards.

"Then should we keep it or not?"

Song Wanning said, "It doesn't matter."

Her objective was already achieved anyway, and she had even saved Jiang Xiuxiu once. Whether she wanted to poach her to be her own person or prevent Sister Yu from signing her, she had the ability to intervene now.

Thinking of this, Song Wanning sent a text message to Jiang Xiuxiu.

[Your singing is very beautiful, and I hope you can keep it going. Girls must remember to protect themselves when outside, especially those who dress weirdly, look unapproachable, claim they can take you somewhere, and offer high pay—you must be even more careful. They are definitely trying to trick you into the deep mountains to become a bride.]

The last sentence was completely made up by Song Wanning.

Ever since Sister Yu signed Jiang Xiuxiu, in order to make her more popular, she indeed provided many resources and put in a lot of effort to teach her.

However, the person Sister Yu had run into was the petty and vengeful Song Wanning.

Whether it was someone who had made the original host unhappy or someone who could still affect her own career now, Song Wanning didn't want them to have an easy time.

Jiang Xiuxiu, who knocked off work that very night, indeed encountered a woman dressed bizarrely with a fierce expression. The woman claimed she could offer her very high pay, but she had to go somewhere.

Hearing what the woman said, it sounded precisely like what Song Wanning had described. Without even listening to the rest, Jiang Xiuxiu got scared and ran away.

And after escaping to a safe distance, she sent a deeply grateful text message to Song Wanning.

Of course, that was a story for later.

Seeing that her objective for tonight was achieved, and realizing that now wasn't the time to cross paths with Sister Yu—if that woman found out Jiang Xiuxiu knew her, who knew what kind of trouble she might stir up—Song Wanning mentioned to Wen Jingxing that she wanted to head back.

Wen Jingxing agreed, wrapping his arm around Song Wanning's soft waist, and prepared to leave the bar.

However, before leaving the bar, they encountered a minor difficulty.

A man claiming to be Brother Xiong led a group of people to block their path, pointing at Song Wanning and claiming she had beaten him, demanding that his stick-wielding brothers take revenge for him.

Seeing that there were only three of them while the other side numbered over a dozen, Cheng Mu instantly stepped in to shield both Song Wanning and Wen Jingxing behind him.

The boss was usually very good to him, and now that trouble had arisen, he had to protect the boss properly.

Who would have thought that Wen Jingxing would pat him on the shoulder and tell him to stand aside and not worry.

He then said to Brother Xiong in front of them, "Do you know who I am?"

Wen Jingxing was even taller than him, completely adopting a condescending posture.

Seeing that Wen Jingxing was unhurried and even turned the question back on him, Brother Xiong burst out laughing instantly.

"Hahaha, I don't care who you are."

Wen Jingxing calmly reached his hand into his pocket and took out his phone, instantly provoking another round of mockery from Brother Xiong. "I thought you were going to pull out something else. Hilarious."

Following the sound of a busy signal, the call was quickly answered. "Hello, Jingxing, how do you have time to call me at this hour?"

"Manager He, I've run into a little trouble right outside the entrance of your Twilight Bar. Could you please send someone over right away."

Brother Xiong was still mocking, "Manager He, keep pretending. Let's see how long you can keep up the act."

The man on the other end of the line said, "Wait there."

Yet Wen Jingxing said, "Let's leave it at that for now, I have things to do, catch you later," and hung up the phone.

Brother Xiong assumed he was just putting on a bluff.

But within ten seconds, someone immediately came running out. Brother Xiong recognized him—wasn't this the bar owner? Why was he running down dressed in pajamas and without even putting on his shoes?!

"Boss!?"

The bar owner walked right up and delivered a resounding slap across Brother Xiong's face. "If I don't beat you for a single day, you'll climb onto the roof and tear down the tiles. Do you know who you were about to hit?"

"Boss, how would I know who he is?"

"You didn't know yet you dared to beat people at random? See if I don't break your little bastard legs!"

The owner made a motion to hit him again, but quickly turned around to bow deeply to Wen Jingxing. "Young Master Wen, please excuse this disgraceful spectacle!"

As he spoke, he hastily directed several men to beat and kick Brother Xiong thoroughly.

He knew that if he did the disciplining, Brother Xiong would at most take a beating, but if Wen Jingxing took matters into his own hands, Twilight Bar might actually be forced to close down.

Song Wanning furrowed her brow deeply watching this scene. Wasn't the backer behind Brother Xiong the very boss who distributed money to Jiang Xiuxiu?

Then, in the book, how did Jiang Xiuxiu manage to escape the clutches of Brother Xiong?
