Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Chao led Lin Wu into the bar, where they noticed that it was crowded, mainly with young people.
The two of them stood at the entrance, observing for a while, until they spotted Guo Yan’s figure at a VIP booth.
They quickly found a booth situated behind Guo Yan, offering a clear view.
“Keep a close eye, and if she disappears under your nose…”
Although Zhou Chao didn’t finish his sentence, Lin Wu knew there would be consequences if Guo Yan were to go missing. It was evident that their boss was extremely angry.
After sitting down for a short while, a server approached them, as sitting at a VIP booth typically required making a purchase.
“Just bring over one fruit platter and a bottle of champagne,” Zhou Chao casually ordered, as he wasn’t there to drink.
Soon, the server arrived with the fruit platter and the bottle of champagne. Many attractive women at the bar also turned their attention towards Zhou Chao, noticing his good looks and seemingly great physique, which naturally drew quite a few curious glances.
“Boss, it seems they’ve ordered quite a bit of alcohol. It doesn’t seem like Guo Yan is good at drinking,” Lin Wu remarked, observing as the server delivered two drinks to Guo Yan’s table, where there were only four people in total.
“Hmm,” Zhou Chao picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating.
“Hey handsome, care for a drink together?” At that moment, a somewhat seductive voice came from the side.
Zhou Chao turned his head to see a woman wearing an extremely short skirt with a revealing top that exposed part of her fair skin. She held a bottle of alcohol in her hand and looked at him with watery eyes.
“No, thanks,” Zhou Chao replied softly, then averted his gaze.
“Handsome, don’t you find me pretty?” She prepared to sit down next to Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao, already quite upset, turned his face coldly, fixing his icy gaze on the alluring woman. She was startled, her hand trembling and accidentally releasing the bottle.
Fortunately, Zhou Chao acted swiftly, catching the falling bottle.
“Hold the drink properly!”
The woman stammered, “Th-thank you!”
Seemingly intimidated by Zhou Chao’s earlier gaze, she quickly left.
Over the next half hour or so, more than ten beautiful women approached Zhou Chao. They were of various types, but Zhou Chao managed to send them all away. Even the people at the neighboring table looked a bit envious.
“Handsome, what’s the point of coming to a bar if you don’t engage with these beautiful women? Are you perhaps gay?” a man from the adjacent table said, finding the situation amusing.
Zhou Chao found it somewhat amusing as well.
“I’m perfectly normal; 1 just have high standards.”
“Well, handsome, you’re quite principled. Hats off to you. I guess I’ll keep chatting with my tablemate,” the man replied, feeling he had stepped into an awkward situation.
“Boss, we have a situation!” Just as Zhou Chao was contemplating the situation, Lin Wu whispered nervously.
Zhou Chao looked over and saw Guo Yan’s group playing a drinking game. Guo Yan had already consumed several glasses of alcohol, and it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that someone was trying to get her drunk.
Meanwhile, on Guo Yan’s side…
“Miao Miao, I really can’t drink anymore. I’m starting to feel dizzy. How about we go back?” Guo Yan began to feel the effects of the alcohol, realizing she had already had too much.
“Xiao Yan, let’s play a bit longer. Besides, my brother and his friend haven’t had enough to drink yet. Just stay with me for a while longer, and we’ll leave soon. What do you say?”
Her good friend urged, and Guo Yan couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
“1 won’t drink anymore; I’m afraid I’ll pass out soon!”
“No worries, I’ll take care of you. You can trust me, right?” Miao Miao gave Guo Yan a somewhat aggrieved look.
Of course, how could I not trust you? We’re best friends!” Guo Yan quickly reassured her.
“Okay, you can relax then!”
Guo Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, “Okay.”
As Miao Miao turned to the side, she exchanged a glance with her brother. Immediately, Miao Miao’s brother and another man began to cheer and started playing a game.
Under Miao Miao’s persuasion, Guo Yan reluctantly nodded and resumed playing the dice game. Soon, she found herself drinking more and more, eventually ending up sprawled on the couch.
“Miao Miao, you help her out first; we’ll be there soon,” Miao Miao’s brother, Zhao Feng, whispered in her ear.
“But, big brother, isn’t this a bit too much?” Miao Miao hesitated.
“What are you afraid of? It’s just a rundown place. There’s nothing to be scared of. When the time comes, we’ll just give them some money, and it’ll be over!” The man beside Zhao Feng spoke confidently.
“Young Master Wang is right. When the time comes, we’ll take a few photos of her. If she dares to say anything, we’ll just post them online. Let’s see if she’s still unafraid!” Zhao Feng became more excited as he spoke.
“That’s right. We’ll record everything, and let’s see if she dares to speak up. By then, she’ll have to listen to me!” Young Master Wang chimed in happily.
“Big brother, 1 heard from Guo Yan that her brother is quite formidable and even took her on trips abroad. He’s said to be very wealthy in Modu. Are we going to be in trouble for this?”
“Even if his brother is really influential, it’s only in Modu. This is Jinling, so he won’t be able to speak up. Don’t worry; if anything happens, I’ll handle it.” Young Master Wang wore a fearless and confident expression.
“Exactly, you have Young Master Wang’s words, so what are you afraid of? You already know what Young Master Wang’s family is like in Jinling. Don’t worry; even if something happens, Young Master Wang can handle it!”
Young Master Wang looked at the now unconscious Guo Yan, her exquisite figure making his lips dry, unable to resist licking them.
Zhao Feng noticed Young Master Wang’s expression, and he probably had a good idea of what was going on.
Then he said, “Now that things have come to this, little sister, do you still want to live a good life in the future? Do you want to go back to that small city in Fuzhou, waking up early and working late, and then marrying anyone randomly? Or do you want to stay in a big city, live in a luxurious mansion, and drive a fancy car? The opportunity is right in front of you.”
People often undergo transformations when they make certain decisions.
After some contemplation, Zhao Miao looked at the sleeping Guo Yan, steeled herself, and said to Zhao Feng and Young Master Wang, “I know what to do now.”
Having said that, she was about to help Guo Yan up, but as soon as she touched Guo Yan’s arm, a slender hand pulled Guo Yan away.
“Who are you, and what do you want?” Zhao Feng stood up and shouted loudly.
“Hehe, let me introduce myself. I’m Zhou Chao, Guo Yan’s brother, the person you were just talking about, the one who can’t say a word in Jinling.” Zhou Chao smirked, his eyes deep and chilling as he looked at the three of them.
“Wow, you look quite handsome. What? You want to fight us?” Young Master Wang pushed Zhao Feng aside and approached Zhou Chao.
“You arrogant little brat, you rascal…”
Before Young Master Wang could finish his sentence, Zhou Chao’s hand landed a powerful slap on his face. The force was so great that Young Master Wang staggered to the right, but luckily, Zhao Feng was quick to hold him back.
“Are you alright, Young Master Wang?”
Ouch, it hurts! How dare you hit me! I’ll call my brother. If you have the guts, don’t leave!” Young Master Wang said, taking out his phone and dialing a number.
Zhou Chao looked at the crybaby Young Master Wang and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He then turned his gaze towards Zhao Miao, who was not far from him.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.
“You’re the so-called best friend who made Guo Yan come all the way from Modu to Jinling just to sell her off, aren’t you? What a wonderful best friend you are. You were ready to sell her, and I’ve never seen such shameless people!”
Zhou Chao didn’t physically harm her, as hitting her would have made him feel dirty. As for the other two, he planned to settle accounts with them slowly.
At this moment, Young Master Wang finished his call and stood up again with Zhao Feng’s support.
“If you have the guts, wait for my brother to arrive, and you’ll see how powerful I am!” Young Master Wang threatened with his phone in hand.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s face turned cold, and he raised his hand, causing Young Master Wang to retreat several steps in fear.
Seeing Young Master Wang’s terrified expression, Zhou Chao sneered disdainfully and then shifted his gaze to Lin Wu, who was holding a phone.
Lin Wu nodded and put away his phone, walking up to Zhou Chao and speaking softly, “I’ve recorded everything they said earlier.”
Zhou Chao then turned his attention to Zhao Feng and said, “Take Zhao Feng to a quiet place to talk.”
Lin Wu hesitated for a moment, then understood and nodded.
“Got it, boss. 1’11 make sure it’s discreet.”
“Don’t worry, boss!” Lin Wu was also furious at the situation. After all, he had treated Guo Yan like a sister. If they hadn’t coincidentally encountered her today, who knows what those two scoundrels, or rather, those three monsters, would have done to her.
With a cold chuckle, Lin Wu walked over to Zhao Feng, and before the latter could react, he found his joints locked, his mouth covered, and he was swiftly pulled away from the VIP booth.
“What are you planning to do? I’ll tell you, my brother is on his way, and you’ll regret this!” Young Master Wang’s mouth was running, but his trembling legs betrayed him.
Zhou Chao gave him a glance and withdrew his gaze, focusing on Guo Yan, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms.
Although he was angry, she was still his sister, and he hoped that this incident would serve as a valuable lesson for her.
Soon enough, Lin Wu returned, carrying Zhao Feng.
“What’s the situation?” Zhou Chao frowned slightly as he looked at the unconscious Zhao Feng.
“1 loosened his joints a bit, and he fainted after a few minutes of pain.”
“Alright.”
Lin Wu then placed Zhao Feng on the sofa. Young Master Wang and Zhao Miao were both visibly shaken.
“Ring, ring, ring!” Young Master Wang’s phone started ringing.
When he saw the caller ID, he was filled with excitement and didn’t forget to taunt Zhou Chao, saying, “Kid, you’re done for. My brother is here!”
He answered the call.
“Hello, brother. I’m inside Space Bar, VIP666. Hurry up, they’re just a couple of people. Yes, they’re still sitting here.”
After ending the call, Young Master Wang wore a smug expression and stood up from the sofa, laughing triumphantly.
“Ouch, it hurts!” His face was burning with pain.
“Wang Xun, where are you?”
“Brother, I’m here!” Young Master Wang raised his hand happily and shouted..
