Chapter 58: Is This Really the God of War? How Shameless!

Just as they stepped out of the building, a beautiful woman caught up to them.

"Wait for me! I'm coming too!"

It was Liu Rumei, Lin Beifan's gorgeous secretary. She shot him a glare.

"I promised Qinggege that I'd keep an eye on you at all times—to make sure you don't mess around!"

Lin Beifan chuckled. "Oh? Is that really the reason?"

Liu Rumei avoided his gaze, flustered by his teasing tone, but she held her ground.

"Of course! I always keep my word!"

Ye Xingchen, the supposed protagonist, watched them bicker and felt a sharp pang in his chest.

TMD! Even Liu Rumei is into you now?!

Meanwhile, I'm still a pathetic single dog who just got kicked out by Ruoxue!

Can you at least consider my feelings?!

Whatever. Forget it.

Let's just get drunk.

"Fine. Let's all go together!"

At the Bar

Not long after, they arrived at the bar once again.

Compared to their last visit, the place was even livelier tonight.

As soon as they stepped through the doors, a familiar figure appeared—He Xiuwen, the bar owner.

With open arms and a beaming smile, he walked up to Lin Beifan and pulled him into a warm hug.

"Haha! Bro, you're here! I heard you've been doing really well lately—just like always!"

Lin Beifan grinned. "Yeah, things have been good, so I thought I'd come and relax a bit! Besides..."

He clapped Ye Xingchen on the shoulder.

"My buddy here is heartbroken. He's in a bad mood, so we're here to drown his sorrows!"

The moment He Xiuwen heard this, his eyes lit up.

"He's heartbroken? He's heartbroken?! Haha!"

Ye Xingchen: "..."

Cough cough! He Xiuwen quickly corrected himself.

"I mean… what's the big deal? A heartbreak? Pfft. I go through at least a dozen breakups a month!"

"After a while, you just get used to it!"

Lin Beifan laughed and teased, "Yeah, but can you really compare? You call it 'love' when you climb into bed, and 'breakup' when you climb out! Meanwhile, my buddy here is actually suffering!"

"Haha, fair enough!" He Xiuwen clapped his hands. "But nothing a few drinks can't fix! We're not going home tonight unless we're completely wasted!"

He gestured for everyone to sit at their usual golden VIP table.

Soon, bottles of expensive liquor were brought over and placed between him and Ye Xingchen.

He Xiuwen's real intention?

To get Ye Xingchen completely wasted… and then throw him on stage, hehe.

But before he could even start pressuring him to drink—

Ye Xingchen snatched a bottle, uncapped it, and started chugging like it was water.

He Xiuwen was shocked.

Then, he gave a big thumbs up.

"Bro, you can drink! Let's go!"

Ye Xingchen slammed the bottle down. "Come on! Let's do this!"

Meanwhile, Lin Beifan casually picked up his own glass—

But before he could take a sip, a deliberate cough sounded beside him.

Turning his head, he met a pair of sharp, disapproving eyes.

It was Liu Rumei.

Her message was clear: "You better not drink."

Lin Beifan sighed silently, put down his glass, and instead grabbed a bottle of juice.

He poured himself a glass and then poured one for Liu Rumei.

"Here, Mei Niang. Cheers."

Liu Rumei's eyes sparkled with amusement as she picked up her drink.

"Cheers."

And so, Lin Beifan and Liu Rumei sipped on their non-alcoholic drinks, chatting quietly and occasionally giggling.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen and He Xiuwen were going all out with their liquor.

An Hour Later

No matter how much he drank, Ye Xingchen didn't get drunk.

Instead, it was He Xiuwen who was on the verge of passing out, his stomach full of alcohol.

He stared at Ye Xingchen in disbelief.

"Bro… how did your drinking tolerance improve so much in just a few days?"

Ye Xingchen smirked arrogantly.

"You think you can get me drunk with this little bit of liquor?"

He sneered, full of disdain.

"Listen up—I never get drunk."

"Last time was just an accident."

"Now sit down and drink with me till dawn!"

He Xiuwen groaned. "I can't anymore… go find someone else. How about Lin Beifan?"

Lin Beifan glanced at his watch.

It was about time.

His lips curled into a mysterious smile.

He turned to Ye Xingchen and spoke with genuine concern.

"Since my brother wants to get drunk so badly… I'll make sure he gets what he wants."

---

And then, it happened.

Ye Xingchen suddenly started feeling…

Excited.

Energetic.

Overwhelmingly manic.

He felt an uncontrollable urge to sing… to dance… to perform.

His eyes locked onto the singer on stage.

Annoying.

Ugly.

Not worthy.

I can do better!

And with that thought—

Ye Xingchen charged onto the stage.

He grabbed the microphone and belted out a passionate song.

He Xiuwen clapped his hands excitedly.

"Haha! Brother Ye is finally showing his true nature!"

He turned to his staff.

"Quick, record this! Post it on Douyin and Kuaishou! This will be perfect for our bar's promotion!"

The host grabbed the mic.

"Our favorite strip king is back!!"

"Look at him dance!"

"Look at him sing with all his heart!"

"Everyone, give it up for our Strip King!!"

Ye Xingchen shouted, "Enough talk! Get hyped! My passion burns like fire—!"

And just like that—

The legendary "strip show" began once again.

As he sang, he danced provocatively.

As he danced, he shed his clothes.

The audience screamed in delight.

By the time he was down to only his pants, the bar staff had to drag him offstage.

But it was too late.

The scene had been recorded and uploaded online.

And, of course—

It went viral.

The Next Day

The internet exploded.

"The Strip King is back!"

"The greatest show of all time!"

"When it comes to being shameless, I only respect this guy!"

"He's actually kinda cute… I like it!"

And unfortunately…

Two very important people saw the video.

---

One of the many people who saw this video was Chu Ruoxue.

Like most young people, she occasionally browsed Douyin for entertainment.

But as she scrolled, she suddenly stumbled upon this video—and at a glance, she immediately recognized the coquettish man stripping on stage.

Her expression twisted in disgust. "Argh! This man… He's repulsive! How can someone be so shameless?"

Without hesitation, she swiped away, terrified of corrupting her eyes further.

In that moment, her resolve to stay far, far away from this lecherous freak only strengthened.

Meanwhile, someone else stumbled upon the video—none other than Zhao Tian, the mastermind behind Longya Capital.

His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped in utter disbelief.

"This… This is the God of War?!"

"Why the hell is he dancing so seductively?!"
