Chapter 7: The Problematic Woman



Chapter 7: The Problematic Woman

A sudden chill ran through Yang Haoran's body, jolting him awake from his tipsy state. Guanhai seemed to be saying something expressive to him, but he paid no attention, instead turning his gaze towards the location of the air conditioner.

The air conditioner was off, so what was causing this chill?

Yang Haoran glanced towards the entrance of the bar and saw that the door had been opened at some point, with a man walking towards their direction.

He didn't pay much attention to this man, his gaze fixed on the open door, feeling puzzled.

"What a coincidence? Is it because the door opened again?" Yang Haoran wasn't quite sure, having consumed quite a bit of alcohol, he was feeling a bit dizzy.

The man who entered the bar glanced around, then waved at Guanhai and immediately walked towards his direction. Guanhai whispered something to him, and the man picked up Mr. Liu and left the bar.

"Ladies, I've arranged for Mr. Liu to stay overnight at the hotel next door. Now that he's gone, you can have fun without any worries. As for the expenses for this table, haha, he's already settled the bill in advance, so you don't need to worry about it." Guanhai chuckled and addressed the beauties present.

Guanhai's words naturally carried an ulterior motive. It was clear that someone had settled the bill, so they could spend freely. None of the ladies present were fools; they could easily discern Guanhai's intentions.

"How can we accept this? We invited Guan Ge to drink with us, not to have Guan Ge pay the bill."

"Yeah, we all have money with us. How can we let Guan Ge's friend foot the bill?"

Two of the girls had flirtatious smiles on their faces. Though they expressed embarrassment verbally, their expressions were full of joy. Mr. Liu, who they despised, had left and even settled the bill. According to Guanhai, Mr. Liu seemed to have left quite a bit of money. How could they not be happy?

"Don't be so polite. When you're here with me, you should feel at home. Naturally, I want you to feel the warmth of home. Besides, I brought two friends over. How can I let you treat us? You're all students with limited pocket money. Saving a bit is good. If you really feel embarrassed, just take care of my business next time you visit. Anyway, tonight, just have fun, drink freely, and don't worry about anything."

After Guanhai's words, several girls burst into happy exclamations, raising their glasses to thank Guanhai repeatedly. The girls sitting on either side of Guanhai kept leaning towards him, constantly hinting at him with their bodies.

Yang Haoran observed all this, his lips twitching slightly. If Mr. Liu were still here and saw this scene, he might have spat out blood directly. All these people were enjoying themselves with his money, yet not a single one praised him. Instead, they kept thanking Guanhai as if they had completely forgotten about him. It was absurd.

All the attention of the beauties was on Guanhai. At this moment, Yang Haoran, much like Mr. Liu who sat here before, seemed redundant, which made him feel awkward.

Amidst the crowd, Guanhai's mind was elsewhere. However, he noticed Yang Haoran's awkward expression, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Why are you sitting there like a fool in such a good opportunity? Don't you take the initiative? Are you waiting for the beauties to come to you? There's some truth to why you're single. Use the wit you usually use to banter with me. I guarantee you'll have your pick tonight!" Guanhai pulled Yang Haoran over, whispering in his ear.

Yang Haoran was usually good with words, adept at charming people with his tricks. But every time he encountered such situations, he found himself at a loss for words.

In his view, perhaps he lacked some courage and confidence.

For the next while, Guanhai accompanied him, meticulously introducing him to each of the beauties, praising Yang Haoran repeatedly, emphasizing that he was single.

With Guanhai's dedicated introduction, after a round of toasts, Yang Haoran finally got acquainted with these beauties. Whether they would remember him was uncertain.

These beauties were all students from a certain university in Lecheng. Yang Haoran didn't inquire about their majors, but they definitely had impressive alcohol tolerance. Without frequenting the drinking scene, one couldn't develop such capacity.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone at the table, except for Yang Haoran, was fully immersed, including the woman emitting a chilly aura, Wang Qing.

Wang Qing, despite her beautiful appearance and excellent figure, seemed prim and proper at first glance, exuding an air of literacy and sophistication. However, this was only superficial. With alcohol in her system, her true nature emerged. With a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she spoke bluntly, repeatedly hinting at Guanhai, completely ignoring the displeasure from the two beauties beside Guanhai.

Guanhai claimed to be a romantic expert, yet he couldn't sense the fiery passion in Wang Qing's eyes. They exchanged flirtatious glances from time to time, indicating that they were bound for a passionate encounter tonight.

Yang Haoran frowned as he watched. At this moment, his discomfort didn't stem from jealousy towards Guanhai but rather from the chilling presence lingering around Wang Qing, making him feel as though he had plunged into an icy abyss.

Previously, he had mistaken the cold drafts for external factors, but now, after careful observation, he realized that the bar's door hadn't opened again, nor had any cold air blown in. Yet, the chilling sensation persisted.

What could be causing this? Yang Haoran couldn't explain, feeling increasingly puzzled.

"Could it be a problem with the air conditioning?" Yang Haoran thought to himself and immediately stood up to check.

"You guys continue drinking; I need to use the restroom." Out of courtesy, Yang Haoran greeted the others, but aside from Guanhai, no one paid him any attention.

Yang Haoran wasn't offended; he didn't take it personally. He left his seat to inspect the air conditioning.

After a while, Yang Haoran returned to his seat, only to be hit by the chill once more, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

After his inspection, he was certain that there was no issue with the air conditioning in the bar. Furthermore, once he left the table, the rest of the bar was quite warm due to the air conditioning. This left him with a sense of unease.

Although Yang Haoran didn't possess any real skills in exorcism or demon hunting, he had done his homework extensively to pass off as knowledgeable. Therefore, he was more knowledgeable and wary in matters of the supernatural than an average person.

Though Yang Haoran's thoughts might seem paranoid to an average person, he was in this line of work, naturally more sensitive than others.

"Unusual occurrences often indicate something supernatural. There might be something wrong with this woman." Yang Haoran's gaze fell on Wang Qing, his brow furrowed, thinking so.

After various inspections and verifications, he was almost certain now that the chilling aura emanated from this female university student named Wang Qing.

Yang Haoran became wary of this beautiful woman. He had been sitting next to her but discreetly moved away from her, feeling uncomfortable with her chilling presence.

Seeing Guanhai and this woman exchanging suggestive glances, Yang Haoran knew that the two of them were bound for a passionate encounter tonight. He felt worried for Guanhai but didn't know how to warn him.

After some thought, Yang Haoran came up with a plan. He organized his words, then, in front of the girls, took out his phone, his expression suddenly tense, and stood up abruptly from his seat.

Due to his sudden movement, he accidentally hit the table, causing the glasses on it to shake, spilling some of the drinks.

The sudden turn of events startled everyone at the table, and all eyes turned to Yang Haoran. Seeing Yang Haoran looking anxious with his phone, they knew something significant must have happened.

Guanhai's expression changed, apologizing to the girls on both sides of him, he gently pushed them away, then quickly stood up, asking with concern, "Yang Ge, what's wrong?"

Yang Haoran reluctantly put away his phone, speaking to Guanhai, "I'm afraid tonight's plans will be ruined. I have an urgent matter to attend to, and I need you to come with me to handle it."

"What's the rush? Do you need some help?" Guanhai asked.

Yang Haoran shook his head, saying, "No, you just need to come with me."

Without hesitation, Guanhai immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

After saying that, Guanhai looked at the girls, especially Wang Qing, with an apologetic smile, "You guys continue drinking. I'll come back to find you after I sort things out. Tonight, we must have a blast."

Hearing that Guanhai would come back after sorting things out, the disappointment on the girls' faces vanished, and they smiled again, especially Wang Qing. She teasingly stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, making a provocative expression, saying, "Then we'll wait for you here. If you don't come back, I'll go to your place to find you."

Wang Qing's words annoyed the other girls at the table, but she ignored their displeasure, propping her chin with one hand, her gaze burning with desire as she looked at Guanhai.

Guanhai couldn't find a reason to refuse such a tempting offer. Just as he was about to agree with a grin, Yang Haoran intervened.

"I think... there's no need for you to wait. He probably won't be back tonight because we need to make a trip to my hometown." Yang Haoran forced a bitter smile, apologizing to the girls.

The disappointment returned to the faces of the girls upon hearing this news, while Guanhai's expression changed, quickly asking, "What's going on? Is something wrong with your family?"

Yang Haoran's lips twitched slightly. He cursed Guanhai for his sharp tongue inwardly. But under the current circumstances, he couldn't admit or deny it, hastily saying, "There's no time to explain. Let's go back first!"
