Left alone, Xu Long tilt his head to the side. His eyes blinked a few times before remembering the other two women.
"Ah…"
He sarcastically laughs as he really didn't know what to do in this kind of situation. However, remembering his role as the leader, he held his head high and imitates Lin Hui's action.
Placing his arms over the two women's shoulder, he smiles.
"It's so nice to be surrounded by two beautiful women."
As Xu Long joined the table and they start drinking alcohol, Steelhead would often glance at their table.
He had chosen this table because it was in the back and away from the noise. However, the group next to him is just as loud as the people at the bar.
"What is it?"
The woman sitting across from the middle-aged man asks when she sees the man look distracted.
She wore a black two-piece dress that showed her curves, but it was less revealing unlike the other women. Even her looks was more appealing to the eyes than the five women with the group next to them.
Seeing Steelhead not answer her, she didn't hesitate to look over. However, what she saw shook her to the core and she gasp.
"Mr. Liu?"
It has been a long time since she last saw him here.
Sitting on the armchair in arm's length from her, Liu Shan had just down a glass of alcohol Winny had pour for him. His attention was not directed at the woman until he heard her voice and turn to look at her.
Met with her smiling face, he sighs a polite smile with a nod.
"Yuanyuan."
Hearing him say her name, Yuanyuan was happy that he still remembers her even though its been a few years since they saw each other.
Turning to look at Steelhead, she politely smiles to him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu is a very honor guest of Glory."
Steelhead looks at Liu Shan, then to Lin Hui and Xu Long. He has never seen them before but since Yuanyuan is putting in good words for them, they must not be ordinary people.
Thinking this, he nods his head in greeting to the three men.
One should know that Glory may be a bar for the underworld, but it prohibits any violence.
All three men returns a nod in greeting to the man. Although they are here to keep watch on him, they cannot be reckless and blow their cover.
Sitting on Liu Shan's lap, Winny steals a glance at Yuanyuan who had returned to discussing some things with Steelhead. A mischievous smile curls on her lip and she hugs Liu Shan's neck.
"So you are Mr. Liu."
From what she can remember when she first started working at Glory, Yuanyuan is the only woman who doesn't sleep with her customers.
She mainly acts as the host for important customers, but nothing beyond that. No one is allowed to have any physical contact with her. Even if they are the most powerful person in the underworld, the boss of Glory will always back her up.
However, a rumor spread that only one man is allowed to touch her, and that man is Mr. Liu.
Unknown to Winny's thoughts, Liu Shan smiles to her with his finger tracing her arm as he drink his glass of alcohol.
"Well, now you know how to address me."
Winny's cheeks turn red as she tightens her hug of the man.
"Mr. Liu, should we go and get a room for ourselves? I promise you will not be disappointed in my service."
Hearing her words, Liu Shan felt disgusted on the inside, but he smiles at her without answering her question.
As the two began to flirt around, Yuanyuan heard their entire conversation. Although she kept a sincere smile as she listens to Steelhead talk, deep down she felt a tinge of pain in her heart.
In the past, every time Liu Shan came to glory whether it was for fun or business, he would always ask for her. Little did he know, those short moments were the best for her. He treated her with respect and never looked down on her.
However, seeing that he did not ask for her, he must have forgotten about her at some point.
After all, why would someone like Liu Shan remember a service girl like her.
Pushing these feelings away, she reach for a bottle of wine and fills up Steelhead's empty glass.
"Is your guest arriving soon?"
Steelhead chuckles and he takes the glass Yuanyuan had filled up.
"Is Miss Yuanyuan tired of servicing me?"
Hearing his words, Yuanyuan's cheek flush pink in embarrassment. Was he able to read her thoughts?
Trying to keep herself together, she shook her head.
"The pleasure is all mine for Glory's esteem guests."
Finding her as someone easy to speak with, Steelhead chuckles and drinks the glass of wine.
"My guest will be here soon."
Just as his word fell, he sees a figure enter the doors of Glory.
"Speaking of my guest, here he is."
It was the person he was waiting for. However, it was not Chu Li Xiang but an obese man in his sixties.
He slowly rise from his seat to wave the man down then looks at Yuanyuan.
"I am thankful for your generous time in entertaining me. Is the room ready?"
Each time a business if made, they must talk it out in a room for their own privacy.
Yuanyuan smiles politely and stood from her seat. She gestures with her hand towards the dark hallway.
"The room is ready for use."
Her words fell as she leads Steelhead to meet with the obese man then they turn for the hallway.
However, unknown to her, she did not see the obese man's eyes full of lust for her as he follow behind.
As Yuanyuan disappear through the hallway, Liu Shan's eyes dimmed dangerously.
He saw the look the obese man was giving Yuanyuan and it was one full of ill intentions.
It's true that he used to call on Yuanyuan when he came here, but he has never touched her. He will never force someone to do something they do not want.
"Isn't that Snakehead's Gao Jie?"
From the side, Lin Hui leans towards Liu Shan and whispers as Winny finally moved from Liu Shan's lap to get another bottle of alcohol.
With a very faint nod in answering, Liu Shan stood up and strides in the direction Yuanyuan had led Steelhead and Gao Jie.
"Keep watch from here."
Watching his figure disappear into the dark hallway, Xu Long and Lin Hui remained seated. If all three of them followed, it would be suspicious and catch attention.
Xu Long leans back on his chair. He can see Qi Li sitting comfortable at the bar like a regular customer.
His eyes slightly narrows, and he looks at Lin Hui.
"Do you guys often come here?"
Lin Hui had just taken a cigarette out of his pocket when he heard the assistant's question. Lighting it up, he shrug his shoulder.
"Sometimes, but Liu Shan comes here more than us."
Xu Long nods his head in understanding. Other will think Lin Hui meant Liu Shan came here for fun or to enjoy time with the women here, but he (Xu Long) knows that is not the case.
What Lin Hui meant is that Liu Shan often came here for missions assigned by Fate.
