Let’s go sit over there,” Guo Momo said.
After she ordered four drinks from the bartender, they took their seats.
“It’s still early, and not very lively yet.
I wonder what kind of shows will be on tonight,” Zhao Yaya remarked.
Guo Momo replied, “We’ll head back by nine at the latest.
Once it gets crowded and lively, it’ll be time for us to leave.”
Zhao Yaya immediately pouted.
“Come on, Momo sis, can’t we leave a bit later, like at ten?”
“No way, nine o’clock at the latest.
If you keep haggling, it’ll be eight o’clock,” Guo Momo said sternly.
Zhao Yaya could only pout without further protest, “Fine, nine o’clock it is.
Let’s go request some songs later.”
At this moment, a waiter came over carrying a tray with the four drinks they had ordered.
Tangyu’s eyes shifted subtly; he sensed a glint of cold light piercing his eyes.
His gaze quickly fixed on the waiter who was approaching them.
The waiter, upon meeting Tangyu’s gaze, swiftly averted his.
That cold glint, Tangyu was certain, seemed to have come from that direction.
Moreover, a sense of danger arose within him instinctively, prompting him to be on alert.
As the waiter drew closer, Tangyu’s frown tightened—he internally exclaimed: “Trouble, a murderous intent, an assassin.”
Just then, the waiter reached Tangyu’s side, his hand holding the drink tray swung abruptly, causing it to fall to the ground while his other hand revealed a sharp dagger that he thrust fiercely toward Tangyu’s heart—it was swift, precise, and ruthless.
He was smart to use a knife rather than a gun.
If he had used a gun, any movement to draw it would have been detected by Tangyu in advance.
But with a knife, it was hard to notice.
A surprise close-quarters attack could become terrifyingly unstoppable.
Tangyu only realized in the last moment that the waiter was an assassin, and it was only then that he managed to react, quickly dodging out of the way.
Guo Momo and the other two were startled by the scene, frozen in shock.
Lin Feifei’s face turned deathly pale; she had never encountered such danger before.
“Swhoosh!”
The grating sound of the knife tearing through fabric was sharp and clear.
Tangyu’s front shirt was slashed open by the knife, and fortunately, his quick evasion narrowly dodged the deadly strike.
However, the danger was extreme as the knife cut a long gash across his chest, already stained with blood.
After dodging the attack, Tangyu immediately went on the offensive, grabbing the assassin’s wrist tightly, depriving him of any chance to strike again.
“Not good, he’s not alone.” Tangyu glanced and saw the muzzle of a gun aimed at him from behind the assassin, about four or five meters away.
Another assassin had drawn a gun aimed at Tangyu.
This deadly duo was intended to ensure that Tangyu would be killed without fail.
Tangyu’s scalp tightened, and he clenched his teeth, knowing he had no choice but to fight for his life.
With a thought, he forcibly pulled the first assassin in front of him to use as a human shield, seizing his only chance of survival.
He was certain the gunman’s marksmanship was lethal.
Though he could call upon the Flame Demon Scorpion King, there was no time now; even the summoned beast couldn’t outrun a bullet.
Using the assassin as a shield was his only hope of survival in this desperate situation, even though Tangyu had no confidence of outspeeding a bullet.
This level of danger was unprecedented for him.
“Bang!”
The gunshot, unquestionably, rang out as the bullet, like a shooting star, streaked through the space aiming to kill.
It was like a deadly talisman.
As the gunshot’s echo faded, a spray of blood burst forth, scattering in the air, a gruesome sight.
Seeing the bullet hit the head of the assassin he was using as a shield, Tangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had survived, narrowly escaping death and not becoming another victim of gunfire.
It was a close call, a really close call.
It was a moment of life and death that made Tangyu infinitely contemplative.
The gunman, realizing his shot had failed to kill Tangyu and instead killed his accomplice, paused in shock.
But just then, a cold light raced towards him with astonishing speed.
Startled, he tried to dodge, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest.
Glancing down, he saw the handle of a knife protruding from his chest, blood flowing profusely.
Life was rapidly escaping, and the sensation of death was imminent.
The gunman didn’t even have time to let out a final scream before he fell to the ground, eyes wide with disbelief.
“Ah!!!”
“Someone’s been murdered!!”
“Ah, save me!!”
At first, the bar didn’t react much as it was too noisy, but when the assassin fell to the ground, others took notice, and chaos ensued.
Screams and shouts mixed together.
Many people were rushing toward the exit, only to be blocked by the bouncers.
The bar’s security staff quickly intervened and called the police since the death of two people required immediate reporting.
Tangyu pushed the assassin aside as the bar’s security surrounded the area, each with a wary eye on Tangyu.
Lin Feifei finally came back to her senses and, crying, threw herself into Tangyu’s embrace.
She had been scared half to death just a moment ago, her mind had gone completely blank—even more frightening, Tangyu could’ve been in danger.
Fortunately, he was unharmed.
Tangyu, in turn, exhaled and gently stroked Lin Feifei’s back, whispering in her ear, “Don’t cry, it’s all right now, who am I to let something happen so easily?”
Guo Momo also calmed herself, sighing in relief.
Her heart had been painfully clenched in the prior moments.
Only Zhao Yaya, with her big nerves, was still staring with wide eyes at the two dead men on the ground.
Had anyone been able to see her face, they would’ve surely noticed it filled with curiosity.
A man around thirty hurried over.
He was not wearing a mask; he was the steward of the Masked Bar, the ostensible owner.
Of course, he certainly wasn’t the true owner of the Masked Bar, merely a subordinate doing the actual work, and his name was Wu Kui.
“What happened?” Wu Kui’s gaze fell on the two bodies on the ground as he sharply questioned the security guards.
As an insider, he could immediately tell how the men had died.
His gaze quickly turned to Tangyu, filled with astonishment.
To have killed these two assassins under such circumstances…
the skill displayed was incredibly powerful, he couldn’t help but respect it, even Wu Kui himself.
The two assassins had died almost simultaneously.
While Tangyu used the knife-wielding assassin to block the bullets from the gunman, he had snatched the knife from the assassin’s hand and thrown it straight into the gunman’s heart in one swift move.
The gunman didn’t even get a chance to react before he was taken down.
The whole process was chaotic and something the average person couldn’t even dare to imagine, something only a true master could achieve.
And Wu Kui could see this clearly.
“Brother Kui, we don’t know what happened here.
We rushed over when we heard the commotion.
I asked the people here, and they said those two wanted to kill him, but he noticed and killed them both in a very short time.
As for the rest, we are not clear,” one of the security guards explained to Wu Kui.
Wu Kui’s gaze scanned Guo Momo and the other two women, then settled on Tangyu and asked, “How may I address you?”
Tangyu took off his mask.
Now that he had killed people, he couldn’t just walk away.
He had to wait for the police to handle the situation before leaving.
So, the mask had to come off sooner or later.
Besides, it was uncomfortable to wear, so he simply took it off.
“Tangyu?
It’s you!” Upon seeing Tangyu’s face, Wu Kui immediately recognized him.
In Donglin City, there were only a few who wouldn’t recognize Tangyu by now.
“Ah, it’s Divine Doctor Tang!
To think he would come to the Masked Bar.
Ha ha, probably everywhere else is off-limits for him, so coming to the Masked Bar is a good idea.”
“Incredible, I didn’t expect Divine Doctor Tang to be not only a peerless physician but also so adept in combat.
He’s just like the master fighters on TV.
Did you guys get a clear view of what happened?
How did two people die in the blink of an eye?”
“Didn’t see it clearly, but it was Divine Doctor Tang who killed them.
To only have a minor injury after facing two assassins and still manage to kill both, what skill, it’s unbelievable.”
“So boring, not fun at all,” Zhao Yaya complained as she removed her mask.
Lin Feifei and Guo Momo had no reason to keep theirs on either, so they also took theirs off.
With such a major incident, there was no longer any concern about rules.
The police would surely require the removal of masks upon their arrival.
Besides, the bar’s event obviously couldn’t continue for the day, and it seemed likely that the place would temporarily close for business.
People started taking off their masks, but all eyes fell on Guo Momo and the others, for such beauties were sure to become the center of attention wherever they went.
“Divine Doctor Tang is truly blessed, out playing with three beauties, tsk tsk, isn’t that his rumored girlfriend?
Seems like the rumors are true.”
“Us average guys can only be jealous, they’re so beautiful, like fairies.”
Wu Kui asked, “Young Master Tang, what exactly happened here?”
Tangyu replied, “These men were assassins who just tried to kill me.
I acted entirely in self-defense.
There should be surveillance footage here that can help prove my statement.”
“Oh, I see, of course, that won’t be a problem,” Wu Kui nodded.
Before the police arrived, no one dared to touch the bodies, so as not to disturb the crime scene.
With a sullen pout, Zhao Yaya was displeased.
She had rarely gone out to have fun, and this unfortunate incident had occurred.
Now her fun was spoiled, and she was stuck here waiting for the police.
She might even have to go to the police station to give a statement later on, which was really annoying.
Ten minutes later, there was a commotion, and a few police officers finally arrived.
Leading them was Song Qingyu, whom Tangyu recognized with a sparkle in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected her to be handling this case again.
