At this point, Ye Shikai finally remembered who the man in front of him was. No wonder he looked somewhat familiar; this man was one of Luo Shiqi's bodyguards. Ye remembered that during Du Ya's attempted assassination, he was right by Luo Shiqi's side, protecting her inseparably. Since he was Luo Shiqi's guard, he must be quite familiar with Ye himself. Ye guessed they had all seen the ambiguous moments between himself and Luo Shiqi last time.
Recalling that Dark Night Bar is Luo Shiqi's property, he realized that the bar must be under the protection of her people. He had wanted to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress but someone had already taken care of the situation for him. Nonetheless, it was better this way, with someone else resolving the issue and sparing Ye the trouble. Ye Shikai handed the man a cigarette, which he gladly accepted.
