Inside the bar, the waiter had already come over, collecting the glass that Zhang Xiaotian left behind. He looked at Yingying and said, "Miss, you probably won't drink this, right?"

Yingying had regained her senses by now. She nodded and said, "Take it away. Oh, by the way, what does that Zhang Xiaotian do?"

"Him?" The waiter dragged out the sound, then said, "He's a friend of our bar's security guard, Guo Qiang. He hangs around here every night. Not sure what he does exactly."

Hearing this, an icy expression formed on Yingying's face. Dammit. She had been fooled by that brat. Clenching her teeth, she said, "Zhang Xiaotian, I'll remember you."

"Damn, what's the rush? I was enjoying myself. That bar girl really has no judgment. Shouldn't she see I'm having fun?" Stepping out of the bar, Zhang Xiaotian began to grumble. He also tightened his clothes. In this freezing weather, as soon as he left the warm bar, the chill hit him hard, making him shiver.

Qiangzi was about the same age as Zhang Xiaotian, both in their early twenties, but he stood at almost 1.8 meters tall. His hefty frame gave off a strong, intimidating air.

Qiangzi chuckled and said, "You're freaking nuts, messing with the bar girl too. Be careful the boss doesn't throw you out. And think about your girl Lin Meimei."

At the mention of Lin Meimei, Zhang Xiaotian's mood changed instantly. He waved dismissively, "Enough. You're right, okay? I'll go work."

Beep! Beep!

In the parking lot outside the bar, a shrill noise rang out. An old model BMW 3 series sedan’s yellow lights blinked once.

The remote key in Zhang Xiaotian's hand lit up. Its logo of blue sky and white clouds was unmistakably the BMW emblem.

With the engine roaring, the car drove off. Lowering the car window, Zhang Xiaotian looked at Guo Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, follow my lead later."

As night fell, more and more cars started to gather outside the flashy bar as time wore on. Around ten o'clock, the charm-filled bar hit its peak hour.

Of course, the limited parking spaces by the bar's entrance became increasingly scarce. In the stretch of Fukang Road in Xingcheng, the so-called Bar Street was well-known. Parking was always in short supply. If you couldn't park right at the entrance, you'd have to loop around for a few hundred meters.

An Aston Martin supercar pulled up, ready to park. Just then, a black, old model 3-series BMW roared up from the right rear side of the Aston Martin, interrupting its approach. Before the Aston Martin could react, the majority of the BMW's body had already slipped into the parking space.

"Hey! Kid, are you looking for a death wish?" The window of the Aston Martin slid open, revealing a twenty-something young man roaring with a face of fury.

The window rolled down, and Zhang Xiaotian glanced back disdainfully. Yes, it was a glance, and the contempt and scorn in his eyes would cause much annoyance to anyone. His dimples were now visible. To the young man in the Aston Martin, this was nothing less than an open displeasure.

"What's the matter? Is this parking spot labelled with your name, or did you book it?" Zhang Xiaotian opened his car door and stepped out.

Smack!

A small stack of red hundred-yuan notes were slapped onto the hood of the Aston Martin. Zhang Xiaotian, grinning, said, "Listen, mate, let's make a deal. Take this money. Also, find another place to park, alright? Look, there is a parking slot just a mere ten meters away. It won't cost you that much effort to move it there."

Looking at the thickness of the cash, it seemed to be a thousand yuan. Such an attitude, such a posture, and such an aura, stating clearly that he was not short of money.

Immediately, the Aston Martin's door also opened. The young man got out with a face of fury. He looked around, a smirk suddenly appearing on his face: "Damn! Are you just here to cause problems?"

"Ming Shao, please hurry. It's Halloween today, isn't it? The costume party is about to start," a delicate voice sounded. A sexy woman dressed in a red dress with black stockings also got out from the passenger seat.

Hearing this, the young man showed a charming smile: "Baby, don't worry. I will handle this quickly."

After he said this, his face darkened, and he muttered: "Just look at you two, what are you? The labels on your suits haven’t even been removed yet. Are they domestic? A couple of hundred yuan per suit? Don’t parade around here just because you’ve made some money. Get the hell out of here right now!"

Having said that, the young man reached into his car and rummaged around for a bit. There was a dull thud, and this time, a stack of hundred yuan notes was placed on the car.

Seeing this, the initially contemptuous and arrogant young man's face changed immediately. With immense care, he said: "Ming Shao is right. We’ve failed to recognize the true brilliance. Don’t blame us, Ming Shao. I'll leave immediately."

The young man called Ming Shao coldly hummed, and Zhang Xiaotian had already started his car quickly, taking the money and disappearing from the bar entrance swiftly.

About fifty meters away from the bar, Zhang Xiaotian stopped his car and showed a satisfied expression on his face. The phone rang, and it was Guo Qiang's number. As soon as he answered the call, Guo Qiang's voice came through: "Brother Tian, well done. With just one move, you made almost ten thousand yuan. It seems we're going to make a big score tonight."

Meanwhile, inside the bar, Ming Shao, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up: "Damn, I've been set up."

"What's wrong, Ming? Who's so audacious? Are they done trying to survive? They dare to set you up, Ming?" A spiky-haired young man beside him immediately started to clamor.

The expression on Ming's face was terrible. "Damn it, some guy driving a black BMW is stealing my parking spot. Now I get it. This kid is nothing but a swindler that steals parking spots."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiky-haired guy stood up immediately, "Wait, I've been tricked too. Ming, is this kid in a suit with medium, messy hair?"

"Yeah, that's the guy."

"Ming, we can't just let it slide. We must block this guy today. Ming, I'll gather some people right away."

......

As time passed, by around 10 o'clock the parking spots by the bar were filled. At that time, Zhang Xiaotian drove his car over again, "Qiangzi, let's go for supper later. I'll first go park my car nearby."

Having parked his car several hundred meters away, when Zhang Xiaotian came back, he noticed something wrong as soon as he got to the entrance of the bar. There were no fewer than twenty people gathered in front of the bar, with Qiangzi hiding on one side, who immediately signaled Zhang Xiaotian with his eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, a young man who had left a deep impression on Zhang Xiaotian already started shouting, "It's that wimp! Get him!"

"Damn! I've been busted." Zhang Xiaotian immediately cursed, then turned around and bolted.

"Shit, what did I do today? Did I just flirt with a bar girl? Is this karma? I've been cautious enough. I only do this gig once every ten days. Isn't this just bad luck?"

But after only running a few steps, people had already surrounded him from front and back. Apart from the twenty or so people at the entrance of the bar, there were also several hidden nearby. He was instantly cornered the moment he began to run.

With this many people surrounding him, given his skinny stature, Zhang Xiaotian was already down in no time. Holding his head in his hands and hunching over, he curled up. This was a beaten-up survival technique, protecting your head and curling up to safeguard your organs, to minimize the damage.

Catching a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, seven or eight feet were trampling over him like there's no tomorrow. After being beaten for a few minutes, Zhang Xiaotian was already lying completely still.
