All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

Logically speaking, once the number accomplice intervenes, the other party should definitely give them face.

But things took an unexpected turn.

Snapped!

With a crisp slap, the bar manager stood to one side, covering his face, while the other waiters were all stopped by the people brought by Niu Za.

So everyone knew that things were about to get out of hand!

"Damn it, I'm taking this guy with me today! Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll beat them up! Tell Flower Cow, I gave him face last time, but today, I, Cow Offal, call the shots!"

An extremely arrogant voice came, and Niu Za grabbed Qiu Di and tried to drag him outside.

"Let me go!" Sensing danger, Qiu Di struggled and managed to break free from Niu Za, running towards Yu Li in a panic.

"You shameless bitch!" Niu Za's face hardened, and he caught up with Qiu Di and grabbed her hair. The pain made the latter stagger backward and almost fall. She watched as Niu Za raised his hand to slap her face, but she couldn't react.

In that split second, a hand firmly grabbed Niu Za's wrist, preventing him from slapping him.

That makes perfect sense!

At the same time, the system's voice also came to Yu Li's mind.

"You encounter the dashing and handsome Young Master Qiu being harassed by a clingy woman, and you, instantly captivated, decide to help him. This triggers a hidden quest: Rescue Young Master Qiu and resolve his predicament. Quest success reward: Minor mastery of Mixed Martial Arts; Quest failure penalty: Young Master Qiu's disappointment, and his favorability rating permanently locked at 0."

Ok?

I even triggered a mission, so it wasn't a wasted moment of getting all fired up.

His values ​​weren't completely warped, but he couldn't bring himself to watch a girl he had feelings for get beaten up right in front of him, so he acted impulsively.

Honestly, the moment I rushed out was purely an instinctive reaction; there was no time to weigh the pros and cons.

"My blood is still hot." Yu Li chuckled to himself, then quickly focused all his attention on the situation at hand.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, he quickly formed a plan in his mind. Before Niu Za could react, he leaned close to Niu Za's ear and said, "I'm a punk from the Vietnamese gang, working for Brother Kang. Qiu Di is my girlfriend. Our two bosses are going to cooperate soon, so Brother Niu Za, please give us some face and don't let us become a laughingstock on someone else's turf!"

Niu Za was originally furious and about to make a move, but Yu Li's quick words made him pause, tilting his head and frowning as he looked at Yu Li.

Before he could react, Yu Li lowered his voice and quickly said, "I have an appointment with the Sun Yee On triad here to discuss some business. Brother Kang is also coming to see Hua Niu later, he should be here soon! Brother Niu Za, let's just let this matter go for now, I'll host a banquet for you another day to apologize!"

Without waiting for Niu Za's reaction, he grabbed Qiu Di and took a step back, saying in a deep voice, "Qiu Di, apologize to Brother Niu Za. He was very generous today. We'll invite him for drinks another day."

Qiu Di was standing close by, so she heard everything Yu Li said. Although she didn't understand most of it, she at least heard one sentence clearly—"Qiu Di is my girlfriend."

She knew that Yu Li was saving her!

"Brother Beef Offal, I'm sorry, I apologize to you!" Qiu Di was still in shock, but she still apologized to Beef Offal in a trembling voice.

Her legs were weak and she could hardly stand. She leaned against Yu Li's chest and even pressed herself against him tightly, as if to prove that what Yu Li said was true.

She knew that her cousin, Hua Niu, was waiting for someone important on the second floor and wouldn't be coming down for the time being, so the only person who could save her now was this Li Ge who had stepped forward.

At this moment, Yu Li finally understood why the ancients invented the idiom "warm and fragrant jade". Qiu Di's full body was like a ripe peach nestled in his arms, and he could clearly feel the amazing curves and softness of this body.

"Hey Beef Offal Bro, wanna grab a drink? Just got the Royal Salute?" Yu Li smiled and gestured to his table, extending an invitation. At the same time, his hand subtly slid down and wrapped around Qiu Di's waist.

So fine, so soft.

At that moment, the three people with loudspeakers at the booth stood up and looked over nervously, all of them dumbfounded.

The logic was so convincing, one thing leading to another, that Niu Za was completely taken aback. By the time he realized what was happening, things had already escalated to this point.

He was stunned for a long time: "Pu Zai..."

He had never heard of this name, nor had he ever met Yu Li.

But Ah Kang knew about it, and he also knew about the group of ruthless and reckless people from the Vietnamese gang.

Moreover, he had just witnessed Yu Li slapping Laba, who didn't dare to utter a sound. He also overheard his underlings mentioning that they recognized Laba as belonging to the Sun Yee On triad.

Therefore, he is now really unsure about Yu Li's background.

But today, he insisted on taking Qiu Di away by force, emboldened by alcohol. He had already offended Hua Niu, and then there was Ah Kang from the Vietnamese gang...

He was having second thoughts, but he really coveted Qiu Di and was unwilling to back down.

"Pu Zai? Never heard of him." Finally, after a moment of uncertain expression, the beef offal noodles spoke sarcastically, "I haven't seen you around Ah Kang. Could you be that shorty?"

Yu Li chuckled, "Brother Beef Offal, you're joking. Compared to you, I'm nothing. How about this, Brother Beef Offal, I'll treat you to drinks today, how about that?"

At that very moment, Ah Kang walked into the bar!

He came to trade with the spotted cow.

Because it involved smuggling goods, he came in alone, brought in by Hua Niu's confidant.

His expression was solemn and his steps hurried. He scanned his surroundings warily and soon spotted the two sides facing off. His gaze met Yu Li's.

"Brother Kang!" Yu Li shouted loudly, waving his hand.

Ah Kang was stunned. It was him?

He was impressed by Yu Li, not only because of Yu Li's performance during the selection, but also because Watson mentioned it in detail.

At this moment, this kid was actually standing with the Chaozhou gang's beef offal.

Just who is this kid?

With important matters at hand, he could only suppress his doubts. However, he no longer regarded Li as just a short, insignificant person.

So he forced a smile, waved to Yu Li, and pointed to the second floor, indicating that he would go take care of his business first.

Yu Li nodded with a smile, looked away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the beef offal should be completely fooled, right?

Just as Yu Li had predicted, Niu Za looked at him intently for a moment, then glanced resentfully at Qiu Di, who was cowering in Yu Li's arms, too ashamed to look up, and said in a sour tone, "Since you're so sensible, I'll let it go today! You little punk, huh? I'll remember you. Keep an eye on your girl! Humph!"

After Niu Za turned and left, Yu Li hurriedly put his arm around Qiu Di and returned to his booth.

"It's alright, it's nothing now!" He gently comforted Qiu Di, who was still in shock.

"Brother Li, thank you so much." Qiu Di looked at Yu Li with a complicated expression, her eyes filled with gratitude, but also with a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

Since ancient times, the trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress has always been the quickest way to win a woman's heart.

"You're my girlfriend, why are you thanking me?" Yu Li deliberately whispered in her ear.

Qiu Di felt Yu Li's slightly alcoholic breath hitting her earlobe and ear canal, making her feel itchy and numb.

She subconsciously shrank her neck, bit her lip, and looked at Yu Li, her big, watery eyes blinking.

"Brother Li, want to grab a drink?" Qiu Di asked.

"Okay," Yu Li said with a smile.

On the other side of the booth, the three people with loudspeakers had incredibly complicated expressions on their faces.

"Police are checking license plates!"

Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out throughout the entire venue.
