2 Years Of Restarting

The door opened and several people came in led by a young woman in her mid twenties. She had long straight hair with slightly seductive clothing. If one were to consider the place they were in, they might have started to think that these people were not here for negotiation.

Long Ying looked at the group with indifferent expression. "Your gang is in trouble?"

"Yes. Dragon Clan Head, would you please listen to our ramblings for a moment?" the woman at the front cupped her hand and asked politely.

Yu Yan was blinking her eyes when she watched their interaction. Why did it feel as if she had returned back to the ancient times? While some people still greeted each other by cupping their hands, she thought it was only during New Year when the children were asking for red packets.

*cough*

In any case, she rarely seen anyone who was still greeting each other through that way and not by shaking hands.

"You have five minutes."

"Thank you." the woman looked at Yu Yan for a moment, wondering whether she should still continue saying whatever she wanted in front of Yu Yan.

Long Ying glanced at Yu Yan. "Do you want to stay in to listen?"

"I think I'll be better off washing my face." Yu Yan doubted that she would understand. She waved her hand and walked out of the room, silently looking at the fair woman for a moment.

The moment she walked out, she could faintly hear the woman spoke hurriedly as if she was giving a report. It seemed that Long Ying never allowed these small gangs to ask for much from him. 

Then again, why did he purposely come here today for this?

Just as Yu Yan was pondering, she entered the main hall. There were several people who were drinking there. It might be still afternoon, but it didn't mean that there won't be people who spent their time wasted away due to some circumstances.

"Oh, Miss, you're pretty."

Yu Yan's face darkened. She was wearing long red dress for today after a bit of negotiation with Long Ying. He didn't want to see her wearing dress that was too revealing, so she had a hard time picking the suitable dress for this occasion.

"Please let me through."

"Miss, we…"

"Hands off." Before the man could get any closer, Lan Huo had stepped forward. His hand was stretched outwards to protect Yu Yan. When the two of them came here, he also tagged along to protect them aside from being their driver.

The man was stunned. He was about to argue when his friends pulled him to the back.

"Stop it."

"What? She's just a pretty woman and I'll surely…"

Lan Huo furrowed his brows. He didn't expect that these two drunkards would be looking for trouble here. "I'll handle this, Madam."

"Alright." Yu Yan was not really in the mood to talk with these people either. She only wanted to wash her face a bit then return back to the room. By that time, Long Ying should have finished, right?

She had just started to wash her hands when she heard the sound of something shattered on the ground.

Kreet! Prang!

Following that, a sentence in neither loud nor small voice rang out, "Didn't I tell you to not touch my woman?"

The low tone of a man rang out in the hall. It sounded so lazy, yet at the same time so forcefully. Everyone couldn't help but look at the man in the middle, who was sitting on a chair while propping his chin on the side with his right hand. His jet black hair and grey eyes was truly a striking feature.

There was two men lying on the ground limpidly, they were holding their hands, which were bleeding profusely. Their eyes were reflecting sheer fear and horror as they gazed upon the man before them.

"No, no, this… we don't know that she's your woman, Silver."

"Yes, yes, we don't know."

Silver…

It was then Yu Yan recalled another name that Long Ying held. She had heard that Dragon Clan's current head had the nickname Silver because of his grey eyes. When it was night, the light seemed dull but at the day, it was glittering silver.

In her eyes, it was always silver, though.

Yu Yan was not one to pay attention to such rumor, so naturally she didn't know much about it. 

Long Ying let out a laugh without mirth. His only intention of coming here was because of his promise with Zhang Liang. That Cloud gang something was only an extra but now, he began to feel a bit regret for bringing Yu Yan to a dirty place like this.

He should have picked a better place to meet up. "I don't like you. Scram."

"Y…yes!"

"Of course!"

The two men ignored the pain in their body and rushed out of the bar. They knew that if they stayed here any longer, Long Ying would not hesitate to kill them in the slightest. They weren't even sure how long they could possibly survive even if they got out.

Long Ying tilted his head lazily and looked at the two people who came to the bar. He smirked. "So, you come, Liang."

Zhang Liang nodded. "It's been a while, Ying."

The people around them were already frowning, yet there was no sign of displeasure from Long Ying. He just looked at the two of them for a few seconds as if scrutinizing their appearance.

'His voice sound familiar.'

Yu Yan furrowed her brows. She had the feeling that she knew who was the one talking but she couldn't put words into it. She stood near the door and noticed Long Ying waved his hand to her. 

Slowly, she walked out and her eyes landed Feng Mian as her eyes widened. "Mian'er, what are you doing here?"

"I can say the same to you, Yan'er," Feng Mian replied with a bitter smile.
