Chapter 15 Does It Matter?

After hanging up with Lone Wolf, Su Chen's mind was flooded with thoughts, and he lit a cigarette unconsciously, inhaling deeply.

In fact, Tang Gang's inability to gain others' trust and being forced to leave was something Su Chen had foreseen. After all, Nether Temple was built from the ground up by him, and veterans like Demon and Clown were his brothers who had been through life and death with him countless times.

Of course, Su Chen had once considered Tang Gang a good brother, and even people like Lone Wolf had an okay relationship with Tang Gang, but none compared to the bond they shared with him.

After all, Tang Gang joined Nether Temple more than a year after its establishment, by which time Nether Temple had already made a name for itself in the Dark World, rising like a new star!

Now looking back, Su Chen couldn't help but suspect that Tang Gang's initial inclusion might have been as a pawn, with his eyes possibly set on the things in the lab.

Thinking about the stolen lab, Su Chen's head began to ache. He wasn't too worried about the theft of other research outcomes, except for one thing that deeply unsettled him—the human genetic experiment data.

That experiment had actually already made preliminary breakthroughs, but it was Su Chen who ordered the research to be stopped because he felt the technology was an affront to humanity.

If Tang Gang's and his backers' real objective was indeed the human genetic data, then the consequences would be unimaginable!

Su Chen's thoughts were complicated, and he suddenly felt an urge to drink. As it happened, he was walking on Jianghai's famous bar street, and without hesitation, he stepped into a bar named "Intoxication."

Upon entering, he was greeted with extremely dynamic music and the dazzling, swirling lights that illuminated the dancing crowd, where numerous men and women gyrated, unleashing their repressed passions!

However, what caught everyone's attention was the woman on the raised stage in the center of the dance floor.

Though her features were indistinct in the dim lighting, her exceptional figure was evident to all.

She performed various challenging dance moves, her brunette wavy hair flowing wildly, sensual and charming!

Even Su Chen couldn't help but watch the woman for a few extra seconds before heading to the bar and ordering a bottle of rum.

Rum is one of the strongest liquors in the world. Su Chen took a big gulp, feeling the familiar burn in his throat and stomach, which slightly soothed his mood.

"You don't see many people ordering such a strong drink."

A woman's voice came from behind Su Chen, rhythmic and pleasant to the ear.

"Nor do you see such a beautiful woman often."

Su Chen turned and saw that the woman who approached him was the dancer from the center of the stage. He gave a slight smile and said nonchalantly.

He noticed though many men looked over, not one approached her, immediately understanding this woman must have some status!

Otherwise, those men would have swarmed over like flies.

The bartender, seeing the woman approach, immediately handed her a drink called "Nicholas" without waiting for her order, which also indicated the woman was far from ordinary.

"Men who come here usually do so to hunt for beauty, yet I noticed you seem to have no such intentions and came specifically for a drink," the woman said lightly, brushing her hair from her forehead and looking at Su Chen with interest.

"How do you know it isn't just another approach?" Su Chen swirled his drink and smiled, "Like right now, for instance."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle"

The woman laughed at Su Chen's words, her gaze coy as she said, "Could it be that your target is me?"

"Why not?" Su Chen glanced at the woman and nodded, "I don't think this bar has anyone more deserving than you."

Even though the woman was quite extraordinary, Su Chen's penetrating gaze made her heart quiver, and then she looked at Su Chen and asked:

"Then do you know who I am?"

"Does it matter? Only one thing needs to be confirmed."

"Which aspect?"

The woman tilted her head with interest. It was the first time she had encountered a man who dared to speak to her like this, probably even Dragon wouldn't dare to do this.

"You are a woman, I am a man."

"Hehe, interesting," the woman extended a slender hand, "Let's get to know each other again, Ye Mei."

"As expected, true to your name, Su Chen."

Su Chen also extended his hand, and when he grasped that slender hand, he felt it, it was the hand of someone who had killed before.

Su Chen's calm appearance left Ye Mei feeling a bit puzzled, as she looked at Su Chen and asked:

"Haven't you heard of my name?"

"Perhaps you are somewhat famous, but what does that have to do with me? I'm only interested in one thing right now."

Su Chen finished the remaining rum in his glass and poured himself another.

"What?"

"Whether we go to your place or a hotel today. If it's a hotel, I'm broke, I'm afraid you'd have to cover the room fee."

The moment Su Chen's words fell, it immediately caused a great uproar among those nearby.

The intimate demeanor of the two had already sparked the jealousy of many men, and at this moment, this raggedly dressed fellow actually wanted to get into bed with Ye Mei. Their gazes were filled with jealousy, but even more so with schadenfreude.

"What's with this guy, he's got some nerve."

"No matter what, this ignorant guy is definitely going to be unlucky today!"

"Last year, there seemed to be a young master from the north who wanted to have his way with Ye Mei, then he just disappeared without a trace."

"What do you mean 'disappeared without a trace?' His body was fished out of the river the next day."

Upon hearing this, the people around looked at Su Chen with even more pity in their eyes.

"He must be from out of town. If he knew he was flirting with the infamous Blood Rose, he would've run away long ago."

"Perhaps he's another romantic ghost willing to die under the peony flower?"

"Can't say for sure, I've been coming to this bar for a few years now, and I've never seen Blood Rose chat so enthusiastically with a man. Maybe she really fancies this guy."

"It is indeed rare, but why would Blood Rose fancy such a guy? Look at what he's wearing, it's too shabby."

The people around nodded in agreement, what status did Blood Rose have, and how could she fancy a man like that?

The surrounding chatter naturally reached the ears of the two, and Ye Mei raised an eyebrow and asked with a light laugh:

"Do you still hold the same thought as before?"

"Of course!"

"Really interesting. However, taking me away won't be that easy."

Ye Mei hadn't expected this man to remain so composed after hearing those remarks, and he still insisted on his previous idea—he couldn't tell if the man before her was really that lecherous or had something to rely on!

Based on her feeling, Ye Mei also didn't think that this person would be the type who couldn't move when they saw a beautiful woman, so that was worth looking into!
