The woman, a few drinks of liquor down, was also drunk, and became quite talkative once she got tipsy. She snickered and said, "If it weren’t for that big fool backing her up, do you really think she could get by in Jun City so easily? That place is a complicated tangle of countless big and small businesses. She, a foreigner from a small place, a minor merchant, also wants a piece of the pie in Jun City? Not to mention anything else, just her competitors alone wouldn’t let her off!" "But the problem is, she’s got good luck, ah!" "It’s great to have a big tree to lean on!" "It’s only laughable that the fool devotes himself to He Su, spilling his guts for her, yet he doesn’t know that it’s all her scheming, happily thinking to himself that he’s made a close friend." At this point, another woman interjected, "How do you know so much about this?" The woman slapped her chest boldly, "My Lao Qi used to be an outlaw before he turned over a new leaf because of me. How could I not know?" "Your Lao Qi? Are you talking about that young husband you married last year? I remember he’s quite handsome, only too fat, with his round face. Though clean and fair, at first glance, he’s quite charming..." The woman laughed heartily again, "That’s right! Back then on the mountain, people called my Lao Qi ’Fatty,’ but you know what’s strange? Despite never eating meat and just sticking to veggies like lettuce, radishes, and potatoes, somehow, he never loses weight..." Gradually, the topic veered off. But Tie Hailan, already inebriated, looked incredulous. Wavering, she stood up and suddenly grabbed the woman by the collar! "Is what you’re saying true??" The woman was taken aback, "What’re you doing? Let go! Why are you grabbing my collar? What drunken madness is this?!" Tie Hailan’s eyes were bloodshot, "I’m asking you if it’s true!? All of this, really... really..." If all of this were true, then hadn’t she fallen for He Su’s tricks, living all along under her scheme? The so-called life-saving grace was just a joke! The high-mindedness she had thought was false, beneath it all were manipulation and hypocrisy! She considered the other her confidante, and yet to those in the know, she, Tie Hailan, was just an utter fool. How utterly ridiculous!? The woman initially didn’t want to quibble with a drunkard but couldn’t stand Tie Hailan grabbing her collar continuously. Angered, she stood up slapping the table, her temper flaring up. Without another word, she punched Tie Hailan in the face! Tie Hailan’s figure swayed, and she too clenched her fist, retaliating. In a moment, the sounds of a brawl were incessant. Tables smashed, chairs shattered, and dishes and cups were strewn broken all over. Tie Hailan had a bruise forming at the corner of her mouth, she was on top of the woman, punching her over and over again, like mad. Until finally, she was flipped off by the woman. The woman called over a few familiar cohorts and, with the advantage of numbers, they began to beat Tie Hailan together. Tie Hailan, unable to fend off multiple attackers, could only curl up, holding her head and protecting her vital areas. Yet her mind buzzed, unable to detach her thoughts from the woman’s words. Brother Liubao saw this and it was not good—should someone die, it would be bad. He did not want his Sky Blue Building, just reopened for business not many days ago, to close again due to another deadly affray.
