Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Lichun Yushui
It was around midnight, and the traffic and pedestrians on the street had thinned out considerably. Fang Bai and Ye Wumei arrived at a barbecue restaurant on the snack street called "Crazy Summer." They sat down at an outdoor stand, Fang Bai ordered some food and drinks, and they chatted as they waited.
Just then, a black-clothed woman with ear-length short hair walked slowly from the far end of the street.
The woman appeared to be around thirty, with wheat-colored skin, a tall figure, and delicate features, qualifying her as a beauty.
She held a black handbag in her left hand and looked around as she walked, seeming to size up the pedestrians on either side of the street.
As she passed by the "Crazy Summer" barbecue restaurant, her gaze swept over and spotted Fang Bai and Ye Wumei sitting outside. The eyes behind her sunglasses suddenly shot out two sharp gleams.
"Lichun, this is Yushui! Snack street ’Crazy Summer’ barbecue restaurant, target sighted, arrive quickly!"
Without stopping, the black-clothed woman continued walking about a hundred meters forward, then slightly lowered her head and whispered into a button-type micro communicator at her collar.
"Yushui, this is Lichun, message received. I’ll arrive in ten minutes."
From the other end of the micro communicator, another woman’s voice responded.
After a quick and brief exchange, the two women ended their conversation.
Taking a deep breath, the black-clothed woman turned around and slowly walked over to a table outside the "Crazy Summer" barbecue restaurant, ordered some items, and began to eat and drink alone.
Her chosen seat was only about ten meters away from where Fang Bai and Ye Wumei were sitting, and her view was of their backs.
The black-clothed woman gazed at the backs of Fang Bai and Ye Wumei, a flicker of killing intent crossing her lips as her left hand gripping the handbag tightened.
Meanwhile, Fang Bai and Ye Wumei were clinking their glasses and then drinking, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss.
"Your expression just now was a bit strange..."
Ye Wumei put down her glass and looked into Fang Bai’s eyes as she said this.
"Really? What did my expression look like just now?"
After Fang Bai finished his drink, he didn’t put down his glass but kept playing with it in his hand,
"You just smiled, and your smile seemed to carry a bit of sarcasm and disdain... Hey, are you laughing at me for not being able to drink liquor?"
Fang Bai shook his head and said, "No. I was laughing because some people think they can act without notice, but in reality, they are already within someone else’s grasp."
When Fang Bai said this, he used the "Thread Condensation Sound Transmission" technique, and only Ye Wumei could hear him.
"Your words are baffling... I have no idea what you mean..."
Ye Wumei said with a frown, after eating a skewer of grilled mutton.
"You’ll understand soon."
Fang Bai poured himself another glass of liquor, clinked it lightly against Ye Wumei’s drink, and then downed it in one go.
Five minutes later, a red sedan drove into the snack street and stopped at the roadside outside the "Crazy Summer" barbecue restaurant.
The car door opened, and another black-clothed woman got out of the sedan.
This black-clothed woman was about the same age as the other who had arrived earlier, dressed similarly, and at first glance one might think they were twins. However, upon a closer look, their faces were not alike.
The two black-clothed women quickly sat down at the same table, exchanged a quick glance, and then started whispering to each other like long-lost sisters reuniting.
Both women were graceful beauties and their arrival drew the gazes of nearly all the male customers in the restaurant. Even Fang Bai couldn’t help but turn his head and take a few glances.
"Do I look good?"
Ye Wumei’s voice, tinged with a hint of reproach, reached Fang Bai’s ears, carrying a faint sourness in her tone.
Fang Bai laughed and said, "You look good indeed. But compared to you, Star Ye, they’re a notch below."
Hearing this, Ye Wumei’s eyes crinkled with delight, her joy boundless. She happily piled several skewers of grilled lamb onto the plate in front of Fang Bai, saying, "This tastes great. Have a few more."
"Beauty is a feast for the eyes. Even if I don’t eat anything, just looking at you is enough to fill me up."
"Flatterer!"
Ye Wumei playfully scolded him, feeling a bit shy under Fang Bai’s smiling gaze.
After a few playful exchanges that were all in good fun, when Fang Bai had said that the others were a notch below Star Ye, the expressions of two women in black sitting not far from them changed slightly. Their eyes sharpened with intensified Killing Qi.
The taller of the two women in black on the left gave a glance to her slightly shorter companion on the right. Both of them stood up at the same time and walked over to Fang Bai, positioning themselves one on each side of him.
"Handsome, have we met somewhere before?"
The tall woman in black glanced over Ye Wumei, who was wearing sunglasses, and then looked at Fang Bai with a surprised expression, as if she had just reunited with an old friend.
"Yeah, I also feel like I’ve seen you before!"
The shorter woman in black said with a coquettish giggle, placing her right hand on Fang Bai’s shoulder.
Ye Wumei, sitting beside Fang Bai, became visibly uncomfortable when she saw this. She started guessing what relationship these two women could have with Fang Bai.
"Playing these little tricks in front of me is useless,"
Fang Bai suddenly said with a smile, leaving Ye Wumei somewhat baffled.
Then Ye Wumei saw Fang Bai swiftly grab the hand of the shorter woman in black that was on his shoulder.
"What is that..."
In the bright light, Ye Wumei noticed that between the fingers of the shorter woman in black, there was a thin black needle-like object.
Captured by Fang Bai, the shorter woman in black knew things had gone awry. She struggled fiercely to no avail and her face turned pale out of fear.
At the same time, the taller woman in black standing on Fang Bai’s other side flashed a cold glint in her eyes. She too produced a black needle-like object between her fingers, stealthily aiming for the artery in Fang Bai’s neck.
"Be careful..."
Amid Ye Wumei’s cry of alarm, Fang Bai leaned slightly back, evading the taller woman’s attempt to stab him. He then flicked his finger on her wrist lightly.
The tall woman in black felt her wrist go numb and lost her grip on the black needle, which fell to the ground. Immediately after, Fang Bai had secured her wrist as well.
Both women in black had one wrist controlled by Fang Bai, their bodies half-numb, rendering them incapable of attacking or even mustering the strength to resist.
The customers around them noticed the commotion and turned their gazes in their direction.
A few burly men, seeing the two women in black with pained expressions on their captured wrists, thought Fang Bai was bullying them. They felt a surge of knightly compassion and scowled as they approached, preparing to play the heroes in a "Hero Saves the Beauty" scene.
But Fang Bai shattered the table in front of him with a palm strike, scaring them so pale that they meekly retreated to their seats.
