Today I Give Up Trying 1014-1016

 Chapter 1014

Lin Fan couldn't help but rub his brow with a headache.


      


      And then, bored to death, he left the car park and wandered up and down the road.


      


      It had to be said.


      


      The night scene in Jiangnan was far, far more prosperous than Jiangcheng.


      


      The dense traffic and neon lights made this provincial capital, which looked more like a city that never sleeps, give people a feeling of temptation


      


      And when Lin Fan had walked for a quarter of an hour.


      


      He stopped in front of a bar.


      


      Rolling Stone Bar.


      


      "Forget it! It's been a long time since I had a drink!"


      


      Thinking of this, Lin Fan smiled slightly and walked straight into this Rolling Stone Bar.


      


      Inside the bar, the atmosphere was noisy and boisterous.


      


      The booming and vibrating heavy metal music seemed to be stirring the nerves of every customer.


      


      The dim light flickered and jumped in every corner of the bar, as if a genie was dancing.


      


      And among the dance floor.


      


      A white-collar man, silent in the nightlife, releasing the sweat from his body, and his tired nerves, for a brief moment of pleasure.


      


      The smell of alcohol.


      


      The smell of hormones.


      


      It made this Rolling Stone Bar, moreover, a sea of men and women, partying.


      


      Only, just as Lin Fan was about to walk towards the bar.


      


      Once again, his footsteps gave a slight pause.


      


      This was because he saw that at the place of the bar, there was actually a fiery red silhouette sitting there.


      


      "Surprisingly ...... it was her again!"


      


      The corner of Lin Fan's mouth twitched, he had never dreamed that he would come across that one hot red beauty for the second time at [Begonia Book House www.htsw.info] this Rolling Stone Bar.


      


      Especially!


      


      That beautiful woman, who was sitting at the bar at the moment, bought a bottle of liquor and even borrowed the bartending utensils from the bartender's hand.


      


      She was mixing drinks.


      


      A short moment later.


      


      When this beautiful woman in red, poured the drink into the glass.


      


      At once, a cocktail that was red underneath and white above, emitting white flames, had been made by her.


      


      "White fireworks!"


      


      Seeing this cocktail, Lin Fan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.


      


      The look on his face when he looked at the beauty in red became even more complicated.


      


      Only he, truly understood why this red-clothed beauty had made such a cup of white fireworks.


      


      At the same time!


      


      At the bar, the red-clothed beauty lifted this cocktail, slowly.


      


      Her beautiful eyes were staring straight at the lower red and upper white of the cocktail, as well as the tragic white fireworks, with a hint of reminiscence and confusion in her expression.


      


      It was three years ago.


      


      She and her companion had gone to the United States to join forces with Interpol on an arrest mission.


      


      The target of that arrest was an American underground leader.


      


      He had kidnapped a woman from China and smuggled her to the US to do some dirty business.


      


      However, in the process of arresting him.


      


      There was an accident.


      


      One of the Interpol officers had been paid off by the head of the underground and had become an undercover agent for the other side.


      


      He even passed on the news of the arrest to the head of the underground.


      


      In the midst of the arrest, they were ambushed.


      


      The police officer who went with her was killed on the spot, and she was seriously injured and chased for three blocks by those members of the underground.


      


      For the rest of her life, the woman in red could not forget how desperate she was at that moment.


      


      The blood, which had turned her into a bloody person, and the dense wounds that she received, made her ready to collapse and die on the streets of America.


      


      But!


      


      Just when she was surrounded by the dense underground members, she entered an alleyway, unable to escape.


      


      A young man in black happened to be passing by.


Chapter 1015

She just saw the side of the young man in black's face.


      


      As well as, his words.


      


      "Are you a Chinese?"


      


      That Chinese phrase of his gave the woman in red the last hope of survival, especially after she nodded her head, a scene that she could never forget for the rest of her life, appeared.


      


      "You are a Chinese, then, you will not die!"


      


      That young man in black, just faintly said this to her.


      


      And then alone, he walked towards the densely packed and vicious underground members.


      


      Strike!


      


      Death!


      


      One step to kill one person.


      


      The figure of that young man in black was like a ghost.


      


      He became the nightmare of those American underground members.


      


      The blood that had stained that alleyway was blood red.


      


      When she woke up the next day and watched the news, she realised that the bodies of more than thirty members of the Los Angeles underground had been found in that one alleyway.


      


      On top of that!


      


      In one night, that one underground organisation's stronghold had been uprooted and nearly a hundred people had died!


      


      And this included the ruthless head of the American underground.


      


      On top of that.


      


      The next day, the woman in red woke up with a glass of white fireworks, a black skull bracelet, and a note on her bed.


      


      "This cup of white fireworks is dedicated to you, my fellow Chinese!"


      


      "Take this bracelet to the airport and someone will see you safely out!"


      


      That moment!


      


      For the woman in red, it was almost as if she was having a dream.


      


      However, to her disbelief, when she actually arrived at the airport, someone really did see her off, and it was ...... a chartered flight to leave.


      


      From then on.


      


      The woman in red had never seen the young man in black again, and had never heard anything about that man.


      


      It was as if they were people from two worlds that had just unexpectedly crossed paths at that one point in time because she was a Chinese.


      


      And that was all.


      


      "In this life, will we never see each other again?"


      


      Tick!


      


      A crystal teardrop slid down from the red-clothed woman's eyes and fell to the ground, turning into smithereens.


      


      It was as if her heart, which was full of longing, was shattered in pieces.


      


      She had dreamed of that man countless times.


      


      But each time, it was only the cold side of that man's face.


      


      It was as if he was a god, saving her from danger, and he was like a devil, becoming a nightmare for those underground members.


      


      Thinking about it.


      


      With hazy tears in her eyes, the beauty in red placed the cocktail in her hand, slowly on the edge of her red lips, before gently sipping it.


      


      "Ugh ...... still not the same taste!"


      


      The corners of the red-clothed beauty's mouth were filled with bitterness.


      


      White fireworks.


      


      This kind of cocktail had become the last way she thought about that man.


      


      However, she had gone through countless cocktail lists and consulted countless famous bartenders, but only knew that this one cocktail, called the White Flame, but had never tasted it again, the exact same pure drink as that man.


      


      "I really want to see you again and say ...... thank you!"


      


      Said the man!


      


      Tears dripped from her eyes, while the beautiful woman in red, drank the cocktail in her glass, in one go.


      


      The drink was slightly bitter, as if her fond heart was in this moment.


      


      Mournful and unforgettable.


      


      Only then.


      


      A few young men with colourful hair came over with evil smiles on their faces and surrounded the beautiful girl in red.


      


      Laughing playfully, they said.


      


      "Yell! Beauty, alone, do you want us brothers to accompany you for a few drinks?"


Chapter 1016

"Yes, it's boring to drink alone! Let us brothers keep you company, don't worry, the drinks are on us, you can drink as much as you like!"


      


      "......"


      


      These few youths, at a glance, were small-time punks.


      


      As they looked at the hot figure of this red-clothed beauty, their eyes were bursting with green light, as if they were a hungry wolf, staring at a small white rabbit, filled with greed.


      


      Just hearing these words.


      


      The beauty in red, not even interested in looking back at them, said indifferently.


      


      "Buy me a drink? Do you guys know, what kind of wine I am drinking?"


      


      As she spoke.


      


      The beauty in red once again poured out a cup of white fireworks from within the mixing pot.


      


      Hmm?


      


      The few punks were slightly stunned and could not help but say straight away with a smile on their faces one after another.


      


      "Beauty, isn't all wine for drinking? No need to care so much!"


      


      "Yes, there's no good or bad wine, and people are beautiful with wine! I see you are so beautiful, this wine must be as strong as your person!"


      


      "......"


      


      A few of the punks laughed unusually wickedly.


      


      However!


      


      Just at that moment.


      


      A cold colour flashed on the face of the beautiful woman in red, and she said icily.


      


      "Don't even know what kind of wine this is!"


      


      "Get lost!"


      


      What!


      


      A few of the punks' faces froze under this rebuke, they did not expect that this hot girl's character would be so irascible, telling them to get lost at the first word.


      


      "Beauty, don't be angry! We're all out to have fun, having fun is most important!"


      


      One of the leading punks said, and stretched out his arm, wanting to wrap his arms around this red-clad beauty.


      


      However!


      


      His arm, before it touched the beauty in red.


      


      A slap!


      


      A crisp and loud slap was slapped hard on his face, instantly knocking this punk, into a daze.


      


      "Little ...... little bitch, you, how dare you fucking hit me?"


      


      This leader punk, feeling his face burning hot, was immediately annoyed and angry.


      


      "Damn, looks like you're not going to eat your punishment with a toast! Good! I'll play you to death today!"


      


      The punk said.


      


      At that moment, with a wave of his palm, he was about to slap this red-clothed beauty's cheek, fiercely.


      


      Hoo ......


      


      This slap was extremely vicious.


      


      However, just as the beauty in red, was about to fight back.


      


      Gah!


      


      She was shocked to find that the punk's raised slap could no longer fall, but was grabbed by a huge palm.


      


      What?


      


      At this moment, not only was the beauty in red frozen, but even those few punks were all dumbfounded.


      


      One by one, they turned their heads to look, only to find that behind them, a slim youth had appeared at some point.


      


      As he grabbed the punk's palm, he said with a grin on his face.


      


      "Brothers, don't be so impulsive!"


      


      "Beautiful women, are for admiration, not for taking out anger!"


      


      What!


      


      Hearing these words, these few punks were slightly stunned, they didn't expect that someone would dare to come out and stop them.


      


      Especially, it was only one person.


      


      "Kid, who the hell are you, let go of me!"


      


      A fierce look appeared on the leader's face as he immediately tried to pull his palm out of Lin Fan's hand, yet he was shocked to find that Lin Fan's palm seemed like an iron pincer.


      


      No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to shake it in the slightest.
