“Bro, it’s this little brat who hit me. Look at my face; it’s almost swollen!” Wang Xun ran over, looking excited.
A young man accompanied by four or five rich kids approached the private booth.
“Who hit you?”
“It’s that guy sitting on the couch!” Wang Xun pointed at Zhou Chao, who had his back to them.
“Let me see who dares to touch my brother Wang Hao’s face in Jinling!” Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Wang Hao.
Wang Hao had also been upset earlier and had decided to hang out with a few friends. Shortly after, he received a distress call from his younger brother Wang Xun.
Upon hearing that his brother was beaten, Wang Hao became furious. He was looking for an outlet to vent his anger, so he brought along several good buddies and rushed over.
“Hehe, I haven’t seen you for half a day, and Young Master Wang has already forgotten about me!” Zhou Chao recognized Wang Hao’s voice and put Guo Yan, who was in his arms, on the couch before standing up.
“Zhou Chao, it’s you again!” Seeing Zhou Chao, Wang Hao’s heart sank. He now understood that his younger brother had probably been beaten senseless for no reason.
“Bro, it’s him. Don’t you know how arrogant he is? 1 told him he’s my younger brother, but he still wanted to fight me!” Wang Xun seemed unaware of the situation and believed that having more people on his side gave him the upper hand.
“Shut up!” Just as Wang Xun kept talking, Wang Hao, who was standing in front, shouted angrily. All the people around turned their attention to them, and even the DJ on stage seemed to have noticed the impending brawl, promptly notifying security.
In no time, a man who appeared to be the manager arrived with five or six security guards, sweating profusely.
“What’s going on, what’s going on!” He arrived before the situation escalated further.
“Hey, isn’t this Young Master Wang? Who made you angry? Is it this guy sitting across from you? Let me deal with him!” The manager walked toward Zhou Chao and even Wang Hao was left bewildered. Was this manager here to make matters worse?
“Young brat, do you have a death wish!” The manager pointed at Zhou Chao and scolded.
However, the next moment, “All- It hurts, it hurts, my hand is going to break!” It turned out that Lin Wu, seeing the manager daring to scold Zhou Chao, reached out, grabbed the manager’s hand, twisted it, and dislocated his joint.
“You’re so insignificant that you can’t even bark when your boss doesn’t talk. Quite a feat you’ve got there!” Lin Wu squatted down, gave the manager’s face a friendly pat, and remarked.
At this point, the manager finally realized what had happened and quickly looked at Wang Hao. Unfortunately, Wang Hao didn’t spare him a glance.
“Young Master Zhou, I don’t know how my brother offended you, but if there’s any offense, I’ll make it up to you on his behalf!”
“Haha, ask him what he intends to do!” Zhou Chao sneered. If resolving the matter was as simple as saying a few words, he would be humiliated.
Wang Hao’s face tightened, and he looked at the swollen-faced Wang Xun beside him. “What’s the situation?”
“It’s nothing, we came to the bar to drink!” Wang Xun replied in a low voice with his head lowered.
Seeing Wang Xun’s appearance, Wang Hao felt even more embarrassed. He kicked his brother’s leg and then shouted loudly, “Tell me what happened!”
“Bro, it’s just that a friend of mine brought her younger sister and her friend to Jinling to have fun. I found that her friend was very attractive, so 1 wanted to get her drunk and take her to the hotel!” Wang Xun’s voice sounded like a mosquito by the end of his explanation.
Hearing the words at the beginning, Wang Hao understood that this little rascal had no good intentions. However, he didn’t expect his younger brother, who was only twenty years old, to already be involved in such matters.
“Who is that woman?” Wang Hao understood that the problem must be related to this friend of his brother’s.
“Bro, it’s the girl sleeping on the couch!” Wang Hao glanced at the couch, and indeed, her figure was attractive.
Before he could take a closer look, Wang Xun chimed in, “That girl is the sister of the guy who slapped me!”
Hearing this, Wang Hao was completely stunned. He muttered in his heart, “You’re really good at picking people! Motherfucker! You pick the wrong person to mess with!”
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Zhou Chao not far away and said, “Young Master Zhou, things haven’t escalated too far yet. You slapped my brother, so how about we settle it here? Tomorrow, I’ll book a table at Jinling Restaurant to make it up to you.”
“Make it up? Do you really believe what your brother said? Lin Wu, show him the video!” Zhou Chao gave Wang Hao a cold look.
Lin Wu beside him took out his phone, retrieved the recorded video, and handed the phone to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao took the phone and watched the video. As he watched, his expression grew increasingly grim, and it couldn’t be described as anything less than livid.
Returning the phone to Lin Wu, he turned to Wang Xun beside him. After scanning the surroundings, unable to find anything suitable, he grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table and smashed it towards Wang Xun.
“Who told you to take her pictures?! You still want to record her?! How dare you!”
“Bro, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I won’t do it again!” Wang Xun rolled on the ground in pain, even his head got hit.
After beating him for a few minutes, Wang Hao finally stopped. He was also exhausted.
“Young Master Zhou, what do you think? If you’re not satisfied, you can come and give him a beating yourself!”
“Haha, if beating him up can relieve my anger, he should have been beaten into a pulp before you even arrived!” Zhou Chao’s words made Wang Hao’s expression even uglier.
“Tell me, what must we do for you to spare him?” After all, he couldn’t just leave his brother like this.
If you take the blame for him, I’m afraid your small frame won’t be able to handle it.”
“He’s still my brother! Tell me, what should I do?”
Zhou Chao looked at Wang Hao’s righteous appearance and burst into laughter. He walked slowly in front of Wang Hao.
“Slap! Slap!” Two slaps landed directly on Wang Hao’s face. Zhou Chao spoke softly, “Your little tricks may deceive others, but don’t bring them in front of me, lest you make a fool of yourself.”
Zhou Chao’s actions startled many people, especially the wealthy kids behind him. They knew what kind of family Wang Hao came from in Jinling. However, seeing Wang Hao receiving two slaps without any reaction, they realized that the opposing side had even more significant backing.
“This matter ends here. Please, take good care of your little brother. Oh, by the way, the one lying there is your brother’s trusted advisor. If you’re not satisfied and want revenge, I’ll be waiting. But if you dare to harm anyone around me, 1i’ll make sure you regret being born!”
When Wang Hao heard the last sentence, he instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Zhou Chao’s profound gaze and mechanically nodded.
Zhou Chao gave a slight smile, patted Wang Hao’s shoulder, then picked up the peacefully sleeping Guo Yan and left the bar with Lin Wu, leaving everyone behind in silent awe.
As Wang Hao watched Zhou Chao’s departing figure, he touched his bruised cheek and then glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Miao still on the couch. He sneered and had them escorted out of the bar.
After leaving the scene, the crowd began discussing the incident. Some even thought about sharing it on social media, but their friends quickly discouraged them. If this got out, their own consequences wouldn’t be pleasant.
“Boss, is this matter really over?” Lin Wu questioned as soon as they left the bar.
“What? You want to dump them into the Huangpu River?” Zhou Chao replied with a teasing smile.
“Of course not! I’m a law-abiding citizen. Why would 1 do such things?”
If you know that, then why are you asking me all these questions?”
“I just wanted to vent some frustration!”
“Haha, who says I haven’t vented? Can’t you see how happy I am now?”
“Boss, don’t we need to teach a lesson to that friend of Little Yan and her brother? If not for them, Little Yan wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
When Zhou Chao thought about those two, his expression turned cold.
“Don’t worry; someone will give them a lesson. Let’s go back to the hotel.” Lin Wu looked confused throughout the conversation but finally realized the meaning behind Zhou Chao’s last words.
“Why are you standing there like a statue, playing the role of a doorman?”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s call, Lin Wu snapped out of it, unlocked the car, and hurried over.
During the entire journey, Lin Wu wore a contemplative expression, trying to decipher the meaning behind Zhou Chao’s last words. As they neared the hotel, a light bulb moment struck Lin Wu, and he turned to Zhou Chao with excitement, saying, “Boss, I’ve figured out what you meant!”
“Focus on the road, and watch out for cars!” Lin Wu hastily turned his attention back to driving.
“Hehe, sorry, boss, I got a bit carried away.”
“What’s there to get carried away about? It’s just a small trick.”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Lin Wu felt somewhat astonished. He realized that the thing he had struggled to understand on his own was actually just a simple trick. It seemed he had a long way to go in terms of understanding such matters.
They soon arrived at the hotel. Zhou Chao carried Guo Yan inside and, as they passed the front desk, he requested that they send a female staff member to his room to assist.
When they got out of the car earlier, Guo Yan had vomited a little. Although it wasn’t much, there was still some on her clothes. If it weren’t for Zhou Chao’s quick reflexes, she might have been in a more embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, Zhou Chao’s room had two bedrooms and a separate bathroom. He had the hotel staff help Guo Yan with a quick wash and settled her in before leaving.
After a long day, Zhou Chao returned to his own room, took a quick shower, had a brief chat with Jiang Li, and then fell asleep.
The next morning, Zhou Chao was still asleep when he heard a loud scream.
“All!” A loud scream echoed through the room.
Zhou Chao was awakened by the noise, instantly recognizing it as Guo Yan’s voice.
“I wonder if that little girl got scared out of her wits,” Zhou Chao chuckled at the thought.
He threw on a bathrobe, opened the door, and saw Guo Yan, also in a bathrobe, running out of her room in a panic.
“Brother…” When Guo Yan saw Zhou Chao, she froze in place.
“Why are you here? How did I end up here? Where are my clothes?” Guo Yan was a bit incoherent for a moment.
Zhou Chao intentionally maintained a stern expression as he looked at the bewildered Guo Yan.. “Surprised, huh?”
