Chapter 93 Essence

Chapter 93: Chapter 93 EssenceMeng Xiaofei smashed down fiercely and the sound of the bottle hitting the coffee table and the glass shattering instantly filled the private room. In her hand, only half of a beer bottle remained, while shards of glass cut her hand, causing blood to flow out immediately.

But Meng Xiaofei seemed oblivious to the pain, wielding the jagged glass bottle and fiercely shouting at Wang Guibin, "Come on then, if you have the guts, come at me!"

No one in the hall had expected Meng Xiaofei to be so terrifying when provoked. Two flight attendants screamed and hurriedly fled, while Wang Guibin and the other two men, facing Meng Xiaofei with a glass bottle like a dagger, looked at each other hesitantly. Even if they had two more doses of courage, they wouldn’t dare to confront Meng Xiaofei now.

Wang Guibin’s face was extremely ugly. Toying with women wasn’t a big deal to him, but it seemed like if they continued, Meng Xiaofei was ready to fight to the death. Against someone as desperate as Meng Xiaofei, it seemed they could only back down.

"What’s wrong, got cold feet? If you’re a man, then come on!" Meng Xiaofei swung the bottle, blood from her hand splattering everywhere, adding an even more tragic atmosphere.

"OK! Don’t be rash, I’ll let you go!" Wang Guibin said, raising his hands and slowly retreating to the door. He was also afraid that Meng Xiaofei might crazily rush at him at this point; he wasn’t confident he could disarm her without getting hurt.

"Open the door!" Wang Guibin shouted loudly.

The door to the private room was promptly opened, and two bodyguards quickly entered, positioning themselves in front of Wang Guibin upon seeing the situation.

"Grab her," Wang Guibin ordered, aiming to have the bodyguards come in; he immediately pointed at Meng Xiaofei.

The two bodyguards approached Meng Xiaofei. They were skilled, or they wouldn’t be bodyguards. Had it been a man with a dagger, they might have been cautious, but facing a girl, they didn’t take Meng Xiaofei seriously at all.

Meng Xiaofei panicked a bit when she saw them coming her way. She swung the bottle even more forcefully and yelled, "Don’t come any closer! Stay back, or I’ll go all out against you!"

The bodyguards continued toward her, and Meng Xiaofei could only retreat step by step until she was backed against a wall with nowhere to hide. Biting her lip and bloodshot eyes emerging, she then stabbed at one of the bodyguards.

Unfortunately, her hesitation was evident as she lashed out, intending more to scare than to attack. Thus, her move was slow and lacked force, and the bodyguard easily grabbed her wrist, seizing the half-bottle from her.

"Help! Somebody help me!" With no weapon left, Meng Xiaofei resorted to her last-ditch effort, desperately screaming for help.

However, by then, Wang Guibin had already casually closed the room door. The soundproofing in these karaoke rooms was excellent; even if someone sang inside, it would hardly affect the outside, let alone Meng Xiaofei’s screams.

"You’re quite the fighter, aren’t you? I like you more and more." Wang Guibin laughed heartily, control of the situation once again in his hands. He leisurely approached Meng Xiaofei and reached toward her face.

"Ah!" But before Wang Guibin’s hand could touch Meng Xiaofei’s face, he suddenly screamed, doubled over, and clutched his groin, his face twisted in agony.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Xiaofei dashed toward the door of the private room. In her desperation, she had unleashed a self-defense move, kicking precisely between Wang Guibin’s legs. This effective strike gave her another chance to escape.

"Catch her!" Wang Guibin squeezed out three words through clenched teeth, and the two bodyguards immediately charged. Just as Meng Xiaofei was opening the door, one of them caught her hair from behind, pulling it so hard that she cried out in pain and stumbled backward, but she managed to open the door successfully.

And just then, a figure appeared in her view, prompting her to yell out, "Brother Li!" She then forcefully stepped on the foot of the bodyguard holding her.

Still wearing her high heels, the sharp heel was not lacking in lethality. The man yelped in pain and involuntarily let go of Meng Xiaofei’s hair, and she immediately rushed toward the doorway. Unfortunately, the other bodyguard had already moved up to block Meng Xiaofei.

The man was Li Yifei. Though he had hurried over, he was delayed slightly on the way. By the time he got there, the situation had escalated to this point.

Li Yifei had just seen the two bodyguards going after Meng Xiaofei and rushed over with a quick step. With a shoulder bump, he had knocked the bodyguard blocking the door from his path and grabbed Meng Xiaofei’s hand. However, he felt warm, sticky blood, and Li Yifei didn’t need to look to know it was a bloodstain.

"Brother Li, you’re finally here." Meng Xiaofei, seeing her rescuer, felt her strength leave her. The burst of energy from before had nearly exhausted her.

Li Yifei supported Meng Xiaofei and looked around the room with a cool gaze. "Don’t be afraid. Did they bully you?" he asked.

Leaning on Li Yifei and feeling empowered, Meng Xiaofei’s courage surged. Turning her head angrily, she said, "Yes, they bullied me, especially that Wang guy. He even tried to rape me."

Li Yifei’s eyes turned ice-cold as he looked at Wang Guibin, causing Wang to feel uneasy. Although he was arrogant and often toyed with women, he did so when they were alone with him. To force himself on someone with their family around was akin to abducting and violating a maiden. Even for someone as bold as he was, that crossed a line.

With a sullen grunt, he said, "I didn’t actually do anything to you, did I? You kicked me too. Let’s call it even."

The two flight attendants also promptly urged, "Xiaofei, let’s just go, hurry."

Meng Xiaofei had also come around by this time and tugged at Li Yifei, saying, "Brother Li, let’s go."

"Just leave like this?" Li Yifei turned to look at Meng Xiaofei.

Although Meng Xiaofei felt indignant inside, she knew Wang Guibin was not someone to provoke, and Li Yifei wasn’t exactly a formidable figure either. She nodded and said softly, "Brother Li, let it go, I’m not hurt that bad."

Li Yifei took Meng Xiaofei’s hand and said, "This is what you call not that bad?"

It was then that Meng Xiaofei saw her hands covered in blood and let out a shocked cry, her face turning pale. She felt the pain in her hands and the tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

"Kid, who are you to her?" Wang Guibin, sensing that Li Yifei was not willing to let the matter drop, asked with a frown.

Before Li Yifei could speak, Su Mengxin who followed them in quickly said, "We’re her neighbors."

Li Yifei was instantly at a loss for words. He had intended to say that he was Meng Xiaofei’s brother, which would have legitimized his intervention, but Su Mengxin had laid out the truth and complicated things for him. He turned to glance at Su Mengxin, and she winked back at him.

This left Li Yifei even more speechless. The girl was doing it on purpose, which meant she was looking for trouble intentionally. Could it be that underneath the glory of beauty and intelligence bestowed upon the number one beauty of Huaxia, there was a little devil’s heart?

However, the people inside the room didn’t react much at this point, their gaze fixated on Su Mengxin. With just her appearance, she dazzled everyone present. Although Wang Guibin and the other men had seen their fair share of beauties, someone like Su Mengxin still left them dumbfounded.

Su Mengxin glared and rebuked, "What are you looking at, you bad guys? You’re really too arrogant. Yifei, we absolutely cannot let them off. Teach them a good lesson."

Even though Su Mengxin seemed fierce, it did not affect her beauty in the slightest, rather, it added a certain allure.

Having been kicked by Meng Xiaofei, Wang Guibin had been in quite some pain, but upon seeing Su Mengxin, he had forgotten about his discomfort, nearly drooling as he stared at her lasciviously, and said, "Beauty, my name is Wang Guibin. Today, I am fortunate to meet such a beauty. I wonder if you could join us for a drink?"

Snorting, Su Mengxin pointed at Li Yifei, and said, "If you can beat him, not only will I join you for a drink, I’ll do anything else you want."

Li Yifei was exasperated. Now he could be sure that Su Mengxin was truly a trouble-making little witch.

Wang Guibin immediately looked at Li Yifei, feeling that although Li Yifei was tall, he didn’t seem very muscular, especially compared to his two bodyguards, he seemed much less imposing. Laughing, he said, "Is what the beauty said true?"

"Of course it’s true. But if you can’t beat him, don’t blame me for not agreeing," Su Mengxin declared.

"Good!" Wang Guibin pointed at Li Yifei, "Then, I’ll have my bodyguards play with him." By specifically mentioning his bodyguards, he aimed to elevate his own status.

Su Mengxin curled her lip and said, "Just one? I think all five of you should go at once. I love watching group fights; it’s no fun with too few people."

"Haha... Since the beauty has such a request, how can I not satisfy you?" Wang Guibin laughed heartily and approached Li Yifei, his two companions eager to show off in front of Su Mengxin, also stepping up to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei knew that a fight was now inevitable, and these few men’s treatment of Meng Xiaofei had also given him the idea to teach them a lesson. He patted Meng Xiaofei on the shoulder at this point.

Meng Xiaofei was startled and quickly clung to Li Yifei’s arm, urgently saying, "Brother Li, don’t fight with them, let’s just go."

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "It’s okay, watch as Brother Li stands up for you." He then walked confidently into the midst of the five men.

"Li Yifei, go get ’em!" Su Mengxin shouted loudly.

Li Yifei turned and glared at her. Others might not know his capabilities, but how could she not? Against such opponents, not just five, but even fifty people would be easy for Li Yifei to handle, and here she was, looking excited and thrilled. He really didn’t know what she was thinking.

Wang Guibin and his men, however, couldn’t grasp why Su Mengxin was acting this way. They thought she held a grudge against Li Yifei and was using them to give Li Yifei a beating. At this moment, all they wanted was to make an impression, and the way to do that was to give Li Yifei a good thrashing.

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiaofei’s heart pounded uncontrollably. She was genuinely worried. She had just wanted Li Yifei to help her get out of an awkward situation, but she hadn’t expected him to actually fight with them. Now, wanting to stop it seemed utterly impossible; the other party simply wouldn’t spare Li Yifei.

This entire development, of course, was influenced by Su Mengxin, and Meng Xiaofei couldn’t help but look at Su Mengxin with some irritation.
