Chapter 103: Bar
Leng Qing Qiu pushed Lu Zhiyin’s wheelchair, following Xie Ping.
After leaving school, the three of them walked for a long time and finally stopped at a small bar about a hundred meters away from the school.
The sky was still bright, so the bar appeared unremarkable. From the outside, there were no neon lights, no colorful signs, and no scantily clad women soliciting customers.
This was different from the bars Lu Zhiyin had seen in the red-light district.
“Let’s go, let’s go in.”
Saying this, Xie Ping led Leng Qing Qiu and Lu Zhiyin into the bar.
“…”
Silently, upon entering the bar, Lu Zhiyin’s eyes fell on a few tables and a bar counter.
A bartender wearing a white shirt and a black waistcoat wiped glasses behind the counter. Behind the bartender were countless colorful liquor bottles.
Inside the bar, scattered people sat at tables, drinking cheap cocktails.
Among these people were students and laborers who had been busy for almost a day.
It could be considered a mixed crowd, but Lu Zhiyin scanned the bar and didn’t see the person she was looking for.
She didn’t find Qin An among these people.
“…Don’t rush, we haven’t reached our destination yet.”
Lu Zhiyin looked at Xie Ping and was about to ask a question when Xie Ping, as if anticipating something, preempted her question.
She shrugged and led Lu Zhiyin and Leng Qing Qiu to a small door.
Pushing open the door, the true appearance of the bar was revealed to Leng Qing Qiu and Lu Zhiyin.
A large hall, with tables neatly arranged, was filled with thugs in various bizarre outfits, sitting around tables, boasting and drinking.
Waiters, dressed similarly to the bartender outside, loitered in front of the tables, serving drinks to the thugs.
The hall was very dark, with no natural light. Illumination came from constantly changing colored light bulbs on the ceiling, their multicolored light somewhat dazzling.
At the very front of the hall was a raised stage, where several scantily clad dancers were performing energetically. Some were in lingerie, while others were completely naked.
The air buzzed with loud pop music, interspersed with the chatter of the thugs.
These thugs could not have been well-mannered. Even when talking to companions, they mostly used phrases like “f***ing” and “this daddy.” Of course, more often, it was lewd jokes about the dancers.
“…”
Looking at the dancers on stage, Lu Zhiyin’s face turned red rapidly. She couldn’t handle the stimulation and quickly turned her head away from the dancers.
Leng Qing Qiu noticed Lu Zhiyin’s reaction and glanced up at the dancers on stage.
“Tsk…”
She shook her head, thinking they were just common beauties, not really good-looking.
“In this bar, the outer part is for show, while the inside is the real deal. Although the government is considered open, the law still stipulates that all institutions related to sexual transactions must be located in the red-light district. Rent and land prices in the red-light district are very expensive. To pursue higher profits, some people with connections open such bars outside the red-light district. Because the rent is much cheaper, drinking or seeking special services here is relatively cheaper than in bars within the red-light district, and it is very popular among us penniless thugs.”
As she explained, Xie Ping led Leng Qing Qiu and Lu Zhiyin through the tables.
After walking for a while longer, Xie Ping found Qin An.
Perhaps due to apprehension towards Qin An or for some other reason, there were no people sitting at the tables around Qin An. Only her followers from school were present.
Upon seeing Qin An, Xie Ping parted ways with Leng Qing Qiu and Lu Zhiyin. Like a lapdog, she scurried back to her master’s side.
Qin An glanced at Xie Ping twice, said nothing, and did not ask why her followers were late.
She just wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol. As for why she chose such a mixed place? It was simply because it was lively.

She wasn’t worried about encountering any trouble. In this area, she was already well-known. Even if there were some reckless and fearless individuals who wanted to do something to her, the owner of this bar, to avoid going to jail, would intervene.
It could be said that here, Qin An felt more at ease than at home.
“…Qin An…”
Looking in the direction Xie Ping had left, Lu Zhiyin indeed found Qin An.
She wasn’t wearing a coat, only a long-sleeved shirt. Her short blonde hair shone even brighter under the lights. If it weren’t for the curves of her chest, she might have been mistaken for a handsome young man.
Whispering Qin An’s name, Lu Zhiyin stopped at an empty table, and Leng Qing Qiu sat beside her.
They were only separated by one table from Qin An, but Qin An was only focused on drinking and didn’t notice them.
“Gulp… burp…”
Qin An downed half a bottle of low-proof liquor in one go and let out a burp. She felt her throat was a bit raw, but she wasn’t drunk yet.
“Xie Ping, why are you so late? Usually, when the boss lets us out, you’re the fastest one.”
Among the people at Qin An’s table, a taimei who was good friends with Xie Ping looked at Xie Ping with a somewhat resentful gaze.
“Hehe, I’ll tell you all, I was blocked when I left the classroom today. Guess who blocked me?”
With a mysterious air, Xie Ping narrowed her eyes.
But her sisters remained indifferent, seeming unwilling to play this boring guessing game. Feeling a bit disappointed, she pouted.
“It was that crippled person who exposed herself as a pervert in the cafeteria at noon today. Isn’t that the person the boss often takes us to beat? Guess what she blocked me for? It wasn’t for revenge, but to ask me a lot of questions about the boss and said that the boss has been a bit off lately.”
As soon as she finished speaking, mentioning Lu Zhiyin, the surrounding taimeis became interested.
After all, Lu Zhiyin had made a “declaration of independence” in the cafeteria today, and could be considered a prominent figure in the school.
“Oh my god, she cares so much about the boss? Could she have a crush on our boss?”
“Hey, you’re right. Didn’t that person say she likes pain, likes to be beaten? Our boss is the one who hits her the most and the hardest!”
The taimeis started chattering and discussing. They never knew how to avoid people’s eyes, and Qin An overheard their conversation.
“…”
Qin An remained silent. She casually dropped the bottle in her hand, scanned the surroundings, and finally fixed her gaze on the person in the wheelchair, the crippled one staring at her with an unreadable expression.
The bottle landed on the ground and collided with the four bottles Qin An had thrown down earlier. The sound of colliding glass jolted the taimeis out of their discussion. Realizing it wasn’t appropriate to discuss gossip about their boss, they wisely shifted to other topics.
Of course, Qin An wasn’t the only one who noticed Lu Zhiyin. There were other people with ill intentions.
After all, Lu Zhiyin was much more attractive than the dancers on stage. Moreover, she was wearing a school uniform and sitting in a wheelchair, immediately appearing to be a vulnerable person.
Many people began to have wicked thoughts.
