Chapter 117: The Powerful Figure with a Mysterious Background

Recognizing the familiar voice, Xiang Kun quickly remembered its owner. Wasn’t it the tall, skinny man who had previously caused troubles at Room 706 and was obstructed by him? Then, feeling irritated, the man blocked the entrance to the apartment complex with his gang!

Officer Chen mentioned his name was Qin Dong, right? Known as “Brother Dong”?

What a coincidence… meeting up at the least expected place?

Xiang Kun pondered and rationalized that if they were to leave the KTV to confront him, he’d dodge them. However, if they were to stir up trouble in Tang Baona’s private room, he’d first alert the KTV security to prevent them and then report to Officer Chen, stating that Qin Dong intentionally provoked trouble with him and his friends by asserting that he knew they would be present at this KTV parlor.

But the conversation inside the room took a turn he didn’t anticipate.

“Yeah Brother Dong, he’s a bald guy who wears glasses, looks pretty sturdy and seems to have remarkable strength. He must have received proper training.

His expression turned especially deranged after choking Xiao Qi…”

The words from the young man, referred to as “Ah Hua”, awakened an impulse of fury within Xiang Kun.

“Is he about 1.8 meters tall? Does he wear a black-frame glasses? Are his shoulders broad? Is he particularly strong?” Qin Dong asked in a series of questions.

Ah Hua and Xiao Qi, who had been choked by Xiang Kun, both confirmed Qin Dong’s queries.

“Brother Dong, do you know this guy?” The person who instigated seeking out Xiang Kun in surprise voices and then seemingly remembered something: “The bald guy… Is that the guy you mentioned before? Damn, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence, right…?”

Qin Dong’s voice was a bit peculiar: “Bald, black glasses, 1.8 meters, extraordinary strength, gives off a sense of insanity, even derangement. There’s a 90% chance that’s the same guy. I doubt we could find another guy like that in the same city. Xiao Qi, Ah Hua, is the bald guy together with the girls you were harassing?

“Bro, we weren’t harassing them. We just extended a casual greeting and asked her if she’d like to join us in our private room…” The tall young man’s voice sounded a bit unjustified.

“Oh, come on, you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? You must have crossed the line with your dirty talk. Accept the silent treatment and don’t try to start a fight again. And don’t even think about troubling those in the other private room, or else even I won’t be able to save you!” Qin Dong reprimanded back grumpily.

“Brother Dong, how did that bald guy become so powerful that even you dare not provoke?” A dainty female voice queried.

The tone of Qin Dong’s voice turned somewhat serious: “If the bald guy who choked Xiao Qi is the same one I encountered before, then he’s indeed not someone we should mess with. Because I blocked his way, the officers in our traffic police division have been giving me a hard time for several days. My bar was shut down twice and later, even the criminal police department summoned me for a talk…”

“Is that guy a cop? An undercover?” Asked a surprised voice.

The others in the room also expressed similar queries.

Qin Dong continued: “I’ve sent people to investigate that bald guy secretly. Damn, on the surface, he’s a programmer, but there’s something mysterious about him. Whilst he’s not a cop, he still seems to have deep connections with the criminal police department.

“Do you remember the report on TV last month about the guy who committed robbery and murder on ** Street and then got wanted? Do you know how he was arrested? It was this bald guy who cornered him down right on the street one-on-one! Besides, over the last month, quite a few people have been sent into police custody by this bald guy.

“When I previously led people to block this bald guy, they surrounded him, yet he wasn’t a bit shell-shocked. A newly high school graduate boy even held a knife against his stomach, but he was nonchalant. The boy who held the knife was so frightened that he could barely keep hold of it and looked dazed. “Later, the boy said he saw the bald guy again on the street and alleged that the man wanted to kill him. He was so terrified that he ran away to report to the police.

“Anyway, I’ve never met anyone like him in all my years in this city and all the people I’ve encountered while running the bar, whether in crime or not, no one has ever given me such an impression. Such persona can’t be developed through normal societal practices.

“I suspect that this bald guy might be someone appointed by the officials to handle some special matters.”

Once Qin Dong finished his sentences, the room fell into silence immediately. The boy bit by Xiang Kun, ‘Xiao Qi’ began to wonder: “That bald guy… could he be some veteran soldier back from abroad?”

At the corner of the hallway outside the private room, Xiang Kun, who had been eavesdropping, was absolutely bewildered.

How come I wasn’t aware of being so awesome?

What’s with this guy’s wild imagination? His explanation makes no sense whatsoever, where on earth did he get that “an appointed figure by the officials to handle special events’ idea from? Has he been watching too many dramas and movies?

Also, he said that he discreetly investigated me, if there had been any investigation, he must’ve learned that my record is crystal clear, there is no room for any falsification, right?

However, the more he thought about it, the clearer Xiang Kun seemed to comprehend the situation.

The more Qin Dong portrayed the “bald tough guy” with a powerful, mysterious, and profound profile, the more it lessened the significance of his defeat against Xiang Kun.

Especially, the embarrassing event outside Room 706 where he was beaten by Xiang Kun; if the person who had beaten him was a mysterious figure with a strong official background, didn’t that make his loss less shameful?

Anyway, as long as Qin Dong and the rest weren’t going to bother Tang Baona and her friends, it wouldn’t matter.

Hearing Qin Dong suggest that to avoid encountering Xiang Kun later, he’d bring his people to a different location -his bar, for drinks, Xiang Kun decided not to continue eavesdropping, and quietly circled to the main entrance, hailed a cab, and headed straight home.

Hunger was getting intense.

After bidding goodbye to Xiang Kun and returning to the private room, Tang Baona’s spirit was not present, and she found it hard to sing along.

Not long after, they sang the birthday song, made birthday wishes, cut the cake, and gradually everyone began to leave. After all, they had outgrown the age of karaoke nights and partying till dawn.

Calling for a designated driver and helping Tang Baona move her presents into the elevator, Yang Zhen’er couldn’t help but murmur: “What did Xiang Kun gift you? It’s such a large wooden box and quite heavy too! Hey, Nana, why did he leave even before the cake was cut?”

“Didn’t I tell you all in the room? He was feeling unwell so had to leave first.” Tang Baona responded while pressing the elevator.

“Hmm, it’s definitely an excuse. He’s as tough as an ox, how could he suddenly fall ill? I bet he was just afraid that we’d ask him to sing again, so he deliberately found an excuse to leave! I figured it out long back, Xiang Kun has a social phobia!”

“No, I think he genuinely was feeling unwell.” Tang Baona frowningly pondered.

Yang Zhen’er gave her best friend a puzzled glance and asked, “So, what were you talking about with him in the hallway? You’ve seemed a bit off since you came back.”

“Oh, it was nothing. He just mentioned his unwellness and needing to leave early.” Tang Baona did not share the incident of Xiang Kun abruptly intervening with a flirty passerby. However, she kept mulling over the savage vibe Xiang Kun radiated in that brief moment, as well as the feeling of

disappointed resignation he exuded while singing “People Like Me”.

The longer she knew Xiang Kun, the more complicated and obscure his image became, and the harder it was to see through him.
