Xiao Li felt a surge of fear after hearing Yan Jien's words. She quickly reacted and ran towards the booth. However, in her panic, she accidentally bumped into the corner of the table and fell to the ground.
"Ugh..." she cried out in pain.
"Are you okay?" At that moment, someone helped her up.
"I'm fine, thank you," Xiao Li hurriedly thanked them and ran towards the booth. At this point, her heart was filled with panic. AIDS was a nightmare for ordinary people. Once contracted, it was almost impossible to cure. Moreover, this disease had a long incubation period, and once it manifested, it could be fatal.
Xiao Li usually paid close attention to these matters; she had never thought she would be infected. But today, she encountered two people with AIDS, which made her feel terrified.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Li's panicked expression, Huang Lele asked in surprise.
"Let's go quickly," Xiao Li said.
"Go? Why?" Zhao Shuqing asked curiously.
"Don't ask, just hurry," Xiao Li urged.
"Hey, don't rush off; have another drink," Brother Qiang said as he approached with a glass in hand.
"Yeah, why are you all in such a hurry to leave?" Wan Surname Man added.
"No thanks, we’re not drinking anymore," Xiao Li said as if she had seen a plague god upon seeing the two of them and quickly refused.
"What? Not giving face?" Wan Surname Man frowned.
"It's not that; I'm just feeling a bit unwell and want to go home," Xiao Li explained.
"What's wrong? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Brother Qiang asked with concern.
"No need, I just need to rest at home," Xiao Li quickly declined.
"What’s going on?" Huang Lele couldn't help but ask.
"They... they have AIDS," Xiao Li whispered.
"What?" Huang Lele exclaimed in shock.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wan Surname Man's expression changed upon hearing Huang Lele's words as he shouted.
"Xiao Li, you can't just say things like that," Brother Qiang said with a serious expression.
"I'm not making it up; someone told me," Xiao Li replied.
"Who told you?" Brother Qiang asked.
"I don't know him," Xiao Li shook her head.
"See, you don't even know him, so how can you believe what he says?" Brother Qiang said.
"Regardless, we have to go now," Xiao Li insisted.
"No way, you can't leave," the Wan Surname Man blocked their path and said, "If you don't show me some respect today, don't think about leaving."
"What are you doing? If you keep this up, I'll call the police," Huang Lele shouted angrily.
"Call the police? Heh, you just borrowed ten thousand from me; now you want to leave?" the Wan Surname Man sneered.
"What? You didn't say anything about us paying you back," Huang Lele retorted furiously.
"I also didn't give you any money," the Wan Surname Man laughed.
"You..." Huang Lele was so angry she couldn't find her words.
"Forget it, let's just go," Zhao Shuqing said as she pulled Huang Lele along.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy," the Wan Surname Man scoffed.
"What? Do you really intend to force us to stay?" Zhao Shuqing asked in a low voice.
"I am forcing you to stay; what are you going to do about it?" the Wan Surname Man said dismissively.
"I warn you, you'd better let us leave right now," Zhao Shuqing stated firmly.
"And if I don't?" the Wan Surname Man asked playfully.
"Then I'll call the police," Zhao Shuqing said as she took out her phone.
"Go ahead, call them," the Wan Surname Man said smugly, "I want to see whether the police will arrest you or me when they arrive."
"You..." Zhao Shuqing was furious but felt helpless.
"Alright, let them go," Brother Qiang spoke up at that moment.
"Brother Qiang, you're just going to let them leave like this?" the Wan Surname Man asked in confusion.
"Yes," Brother Qiang nodded.
"Hmph, I'll let it slide this time, but next time, don't blame me for being rude," the Wan Surname Man coldly warned.
"Let's go," Zhao Shuqing said as she pulled Huang Lele and Li Xiaoru away quickly.
"Damn it, what bad luck," the Wan Surname Man muttered as he watched them leave.
"This woman actually discovered our secret, it's really strange," Brother Qiang frowned and said.
"Yeah, she must have deliberately deceived us just now," Wan Surname Man said.
"Regardless, we can't stay here any longer. Let's go," Brother Qiang said.
"Okay," Wan Surname Man nodded.
So, the two of them got up and left.
At that moment, Yan Jien walked out from the shadows.
"These two bastards are really shameless," Yan Jien cursed quietly.
He hesitated for a moment and did not follow them. After all, he wouldn't be of any help by following.
At this time, Li Xiaoru and the others walked out of the bar.
"Li Xiaoru, what exactly is going on?" Zhao Shuqing asked.
"I ran into a man outside the bathroom just now. He told me that those two men are AIDS carriers," Li Xiaoru said.
"What did that man look like?" Zhao Shuqing asked.
"I didn't see clearly," Li Xiaoru shook her head.
"Huang Lele, weren't you in the bathroom with Li Xiaoru? Did you see that man?" Zhao Shuqing asked.
"No," Huang Lele shook her head.
"It seems someone wants to save us," Zhao Shuqing said.
"I think so too," Li Xiaoru nodded.
"But why would he want to help us?" Huang Lele asked in confusion.
"Maybe he knows those two men and realizes they are not good people," Li Xiaoru speculated.
"Yeah, that's possible," Zhao Shuqing nodded.
"If I had known earlier, I would have left sooner," Huang Lele said gloomily.
"It's okay, don't worry; AIDS is not that easy to contract," Zhao Shuqing comforted her.
