”What? Was it Jian Ou’s doing? I knew it! There’s no way Wanqing would just leave without a word; she must have been forced. That bastard Jian Ou, I should have punched him a few more times just now.”
In contrast to Situ Jin’s explosive temper, Lin Shaofeng was much calmer. He gazed at Su Wanqing, his eyes flickering with a complicated emotion. “Wanqing, I can help you—if only you’re willing.”
Su Wanqing gently shook her head. She wasn’t willing, and she couldn’t.
She knew Jian Ou’s personality all too well. At first, she only suspected that the bankruptcy of the Su Group was related to him, but now it seemed certain. He wanted to force her out of hiding. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared the moment she had barely settled down in Luocheng.
Lin Shaofeng’s gaze darkened, a flash of heartache crossing his face. “Are you afraid Jian Ou will come after me?”
”Brother Lin, thank you. But this is my own business, my own responsibility. I want to handle it myself.”
Su Wanqing kept her head down, her red-rimmed eyes finally dry of tears.
Lin Shaofeng watched her. He opened his mouth to speak but ultimately hesitated and stayed silent.
Situ Jin opened his mouth, wanting to protest, but seeing Su Wanqing’s expression, he ended up saying nothing and followed Lin Shaofeng out.
After all that drama, Su Wanqing thought Situ Jin and Lin Shaofeng wouldn’t come looking for her again. To her surprise, just as she finished stacking the beer crates, a dark shadow appeared by her side.
”You’re back again?”
Seeing it was Situ Jin, Su Wanqing’s brow furrowed slightly, but a small wave of warmth flowed through her heart.
Situ Jin rolled his eyes at her and, without a word, took the beer crate from her hands and set it aside. That was his answer.
Su Wanqing didn’t say anything more. If he wanted to help her work, she’d let him.
”CRASH—”
A loud noise came from behind. Su Wanqing turned around, her eyebrows snapping together instantly.
It was Brother Long. He was back again, and he had intentionally pushed over the stacked beer crates. Several bottles shattered, and the yellow liquid flowed along the curb.
Seeing this, fire gathered in Situ Jin’s eyes. “Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”
Brother Long’s lecherous gaze swept over Su Wanqing’s face. When it landed on Situ Jin, a strange, twisted smile played on his lips. “Doing? Haha, I’m ‘doing’ her, of course. You think I’d want to ‘do’ you?”
The several men following behind him also looked at Situ Jin, their filthy gazes enough to make anyone sick. “Hahaha, Brother Long, don’t say that. This kid’s skin is so smooth and tender, he’s whiter than a woman.”
”I wonder if he’s that white all over.”
”Hahahaha…”
The fire in Situ Jin’s eyes burned hotter and hotter, finally reaching its breaking point in an instant.
”BANG—”
The beer glass in his hand exploded at Brother Long’s feet. The splashing glass shards and liquid forced Brother Long and his goons to stumble back several steps in shock.
”Kid, you’ve got quite a temper! Hahaha, I like wild little cats like you…”
Before Brother Long could finish his sentence, Situ Jin’s fist swung right toward his face.
Brother Long groaned in pain and stepped back. The lackeys behind him quickly rushed forward, surrounding Situ Jin.
Su Wanqing’s face turned pale instantly. Situ Jin was one man against seven or eight. Even if he was trained, he might not make it out in one piece.
In her desperation, Su Wanqing stopped caring about hiding anything and screamed at Brother Long, “Brother Long, do you have a death wish? He’s from the Situ family of Shangjing! If you touch him, I guarantee you won’t live to see another day!”
Brother Long spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto the ground, the lust in his eyes replaced by pure rage. “The Situ family? Hahaha! She says this kid is from the Situ family. I, Brother Long, have never played with a man before, let alone a man from the Situ family. This time, I’m really coming out on top! Don’t you worry, beauty, I’ll make sure he’s well ‘satisfied.’ Once I’m done with him, it’ll be your turn.”
Having said that, he waved his hand and roared, “Get him, boys! Whoever takes him down first gets a thirty-thousand-yuan reward!”
The thugs surrounding Situ Jin were already itching for a fight. Hearing there was a reward, they began rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
Situ Jin was fuming, his pupils glowing red with rage. With a spinning kick, he knocked down one of the men in front of him.
The brawl officially began. Standing to the side, Su Wanqing clenched her fists tightly, watching Situ Jin with an expression of pure terror.
Without her noticing, Brother Long had crept closer and suddenly grabbed Su Wanqing into his arms. Startled, she tried to recoil, but his hands clamped firmly onto her waist, leaving her no way to retreat.
”They can do their fighting, and we’ll do our playing.”
A mouth smelling of tobacco and alcohol suddenly pressed against her. Su Wanqing dithered for a second and was actually kissed squarely.
Her dinner became an unbearable explosive, detonating in her stomach. She felt her throat tighten, and a wave of filth sprayed out.
Brother Long was pressed tightly against Su Wanqing’s chest when he was suddenly covered in vomit. His face darkened, his gaze turned icy, and he violently threw her aside.
Su Wanqing stumbled back and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting up from her tailbone.
”Stupid bitch! I give you face and you throw it back at me? I’m going to do you right here, right now!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a dark figure lunged over, pinning her hands down before reaching toward her chest.
It’s over!
Su Wanqing’s mind went completely blank. Tears burst from her eyes as she screamed, “You bastard! Get off me! Help!”
