"what!"

He screamed in agony as his entire arm went numb instantly.

"Who?!"

Yellow Hair's accomplice roared and turned around.

Qin Luo appeared before them like a ghost, and before they could react, he delivered a powerful knee strike to the yellow-haired man's nose.

With a crisp "crack," blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Hold!"

The other three rushed at the same time.

Qin Luo flashed forward, his right hand forming a blade as he slashed at a man's carotid artery, causing the man to immediately collapse to the ground. His left elbow struck a second man in the stomach, who clutched his stomach and knelt down, retching. The last man was sent flying three meters by a spinning kick, crashing into a table.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless; in less than ten seconds, all four thugs were on the ground, groaning in pain.

The dance floor fell silent; everyone stared in disbelief.

"Walk."

Qin Luo spoke briefly to the two girls, then grabbed one of their hands and quickly left the bar.

Behind me came the yellow-haired man's indistinct curses.

"You...you just wait!"

Chen Yihan's red Porsche 911 sped through the night.

"Qin Luo, you were so cool just now!"

Natalie said excitedly from the back seat, her bright blue eyes sparkling.

"You've practiced martial arts?"

"A little bit."

Qin Luo glanced at her through the rearview mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Chen Yi-han was focused on driving, but her ears turned red.

She secretly glanced at Qin Luo in the passenger seat, her heart racing.

The way he made his move just now was just like a superhero in a movie.

After dropping Natalie off at the hotel, only the two of them remained in the car.

In the silence, the ambiguous atmosphere gradually heated up.

"Come to my place?"

Chen Yihan's voice trembled slightly.

Qin Luo did not answer, but simply reached out and touched her thigh.

Chen Yihan bit her lower lip lightly and stepped on the gas.

On the top floor of Yipin International Apartment, as soon as the elevator doors closed, the two couldn't wait to embrace and kiss.

One of Chen Yihan's red high heels fell in the entryway, and the other was hanging on the coffee table in the living room.

From the leather sofa to the floor-to-ceiling window, then to the foggy glass of the bathroom covered in handprints, and finally to the balcony, where Chen Yihan leans on the railing, watching the city night view sway before her eyes.
The next day at noon, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains and onto the bed.

Qin Luo opened his eyes to find the bed empty beside him, with only the disheveled sheets and faint scent of perfume proving that last night was not a dream.

On the dining table in the living room, a note was tucked under a beautifully presented breakfast.

"If there's an emergency at work, remember to eat breakfast. —Yihan"

Qin Luo smiled, slowly finished his lovingly prepared breakfast, took a shower, and went out.

Xueyuan Residential Area is an old-style residential area with shady trees.

As soon as Qin Luo reached the foot of Building 3, he heard a heated argument.

"I have over 8,000 yuan in my account that I haven't withdrawn! Why did they ban my account?"

A girl with a ponytail shouted with red eyes.

"The contract states that the company has the right to revoke the right to use the account."

The short-haired girl with glasses next to me said helplessly.

"Luo Xi, don't worry, I've called my best friend for help. She's a police officer."

Another stylishly dressed girl offered words of comfort.

Qin Luo originally intended to go upstairs to find Su Yue, but his attention was drawn to a girl named Luo Xi.

She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her face bare and pretty, and her tearful appearance was especially endearing.

"Qin Luo?"

The fashionable girl suddenly shouted.

Qin Luo was taken aback, only then recognizing Liu Piaopiao, Chen Yihan's best friend, whom he had met at a party.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Piaopiao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his arm and said to the other two.

"Perfect, let Qin Luo come with us! He's a trained fighter; he was at the bar yesterday..."

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow, surprised that the news had spread so quickly.

"Ding! System task issued. Accompany Xiao Luoxi to Tiancheng Entertainment Company to retrieve the account. Task reward: 100% equity of Douyin Company."

The sudden voice in his mind made Qin Luo's pupils shrink slightly.

TikTok? That unicorn company valued at hundreds of billions?

"what happened?"

He asked calmly.

Xiao Luoxi explained, sobbing.

"I'm a contracted streamer with Tiancheng Entertainment. I just over 100,000 followers when the company suddenly took back my account, which still had over 8,000 yuan in earnings."

"How was the contract signed?"

Qin Luo asked.

Ai Yiqian pushed up her glasses.

"I'm Ai Yiqian from the Criminal Investigation Team. According to the 'Administrative Measures for Online Performance Brokerage Agencies,' account ownership depends on the contract. Generally, these MCN companies will keep the account ownership themselves."

"So, we can't get it back?"

Xiao Luoxi's tears welled up again.

"You can't get your account back, but the money in it is your legitimate income."

Ai Yiqian said.

"I'll go with you to the company to negotiate."

Liu Piaopiao clapped her hands.

"Great! With the police here, let's see if they dare to act like this again! Qin Luo, why don't you come too? More people means more momentum!"

Qin Luo glanced at Xiao Luoxi's expectant eyes and nodded.

"Row."

The four of them got into Ai Yiqian's police SUV.

On the way, Ai Yiqian gave instructions while driving.

"I'll lead the discussion once we get to the company; please don't interrupt. The key is to get the money back from the account; as for the account itself..."

Suddenly, her police mobile phone rang.

"What? The serial robbery suspect is in the east of the city? Understood, I'm on my way!"

Ai Yiqian jerked the steering wheel and pulled over to the side of the road, looking apologetic.

"It's an urgent mission; I must get there immediately."

The three of them looked at each other and got out of the car.

Ai Yiqian leaned out of the car window.

"Remember, just get the money, don't cause any trouble!"

After saying that, the police car sped away with its siren blaring.

"What should we do now?"

Xiao Luoxi asked helplessly.

"arrive."

Qin Luo looked up at the towering glass curtain wall building in front of him, the four gilded characters of Tiancheng Entertainment shining brightly in the sunlight.

The bustling scene of Mindu City's CBD is in full view, with white-collar workers in suits hurrying in and out, showcasing the city's commercial vitality.

"right here?"

Qin Luo turned to look at Xiao Luoxi beside him.

Xiao Luoxi wore a light blue dress today, which made her skin look as white as snow.

She nodded nervously, her fingers unconsciously twisting together.

"Yes, I've been streaming here for two years."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Qin Luo patted her shoulder and felt her body tremble slightly.

Liu Piaopiao rolled her eyes.

"Hey, you two, can you stop being so lovey-dovey? We're here to collect a debt, not for a date."

As soon as the three of them reached the company's revolving door, a burly security guard stopped them.

"Do you have an appointment?"

Xiao Luoxi took out her work ID from her bag.

"I am Xiao Luoxi, a streamer under the Peach Blossom Blooming Guild. I'm here to handle some business in the finance department."

The security guard took the ID and examined it carefully. He then looked up and sized up Xiao Luoxi a few times, before suddenly exclaiming with realization, "Oh! You're 'Clear Stream'! My daughter loves watching your live streams!"

Xiao Luoxi forced a smile.

"Thank you for your support."

The security guard immediately became more enthusiastic and waved for them to pass.

"Please come in, please come in. The finance department is on the 18th floor."

The moment the three stepped into the hall, a piercing engine roar came from behind them.

Qin Luo turned around and saw a bright red Ferrari pull up in front of the company gate with a beautiful drift, its tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground.

The car door opened like wings, and a man in a black Armani suit stepped out.

The conspicuous white bandage wrapped around his nose did not diminish his flamboyant aura in the slightest.

"Hello, Mr. Wei!"

The security guard immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Wei Junshu casually tossed the car keys to the security guard, the action as practiced as if he had done it a thousand times.

The security guard hurriedly caught the keys, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

I tripped and fell last night.

Wei Junshu touched the gauze on his nose and explained casually, but his eyes swept across the hall with a sinister look, and suddenly froze when he saw Xiao Luoxi's back.

Qin Luo keenly noticed Wei Junshu's gaze and subconsciously pulled Xiao Luoxi behind him.

The three of them walked quickly toward the elevator and disappeared behind the closed metal doors.

Wei Junshu stood there, his fists clenched unconsciously.

Memories of last night flooded back. His meticulously planned dinner was interrupted by this man who suddenly appeared; his prey, Xiao Luoxi, was taken away by the man; and what was even more infuriating was that Natalie, the Russian model he had hired at great expense, actually rejected his invitation!
"Oh shit."

Wei Junshu cursed under his breath, his muscles taut beneath his suit jacket.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Doubao, I've arrived. What brings Xiao Luoxi to the company?"

The assistant's obsequious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Wei, Miss Xiao said she's here to settle the money in her account and is waiting in the meeting room now."

Wei Junshu sneered.

"Heh, you've given in?"

"Judging from her attitude, it seems she's determined to terminate the contract."

Wei Junshu's face instantly darkened.

"Summon the legal department to my office immediately!"

Five minutes later, Zhao Ming, the legal director of Tiancheng Entertainment, rushed to Wei Junshu's office with two lawyers.

In front of the large French windows, Wei Junshu stood with his back to them, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand.

"Xiao Luoxi wanted to take the money and leave."

Wei Junshu's voice was as cold as ice.

"I want her to get not a single penny."

Zhao Ming adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave a professional smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, we've left plenty of room for maneuver in the contract. First, we can freeze the funds on the grounds of 'account ownership dispute,' then go through the appeal process; the review period alone can drag on for three months."

"Three months is too short."

Wei Junshu turned around, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"I need at least two years."

"This"

Zhao Ming exchanged a glance with his colleague.

"If she insists on appealing, we can use means such as objections to jurisdiction and requests for supplementary evidence to delay her, but it's probably impossible to completely prevent it."

Wei Junshu slammed the wine glass down on the table.

"I don't care what methods you use! She's not the first, nor will she be the last, to try and steal money from me, Wei Junshu!"

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Doubao poked his head in.

"Mr. Wei, Miss Xiao says she can't wait any longer and wants to go directly to the finance department."

Wei Junshu's eyes were filled with malice.

"Let's go to the reception room."

Inside the reception room, Xiao Luoxi sat uneasily, glancing at her watch.

"We've been waiting for forty minutes already."

"It's clearly a delaying tactic."

Liu Piaopiao crossed her legs and impatiently tapped her fingers on the table.

"If you ask me, we should just go to the finance department and cause a scene."

Qin Luo stood by the window, his gaze sweeping over the endless stream of cars below.

"Wait five more minutes, or we'll..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open.

Wei Junshu strode in with his legal team, followed by Doubao with a fawning smile.

"Miss Xiao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Wei Junshu approached with a fake smile, but his expression froze the moment he saw Qin Luo.

"It's you!"

Qin Luo turned around and calmly met Wei Junshu's gaze.

"We meet again, 'Mr. Wrestling'."

Wei Junshu's face instantly turned ashen, and the gauze on his nose trembled slightly with his rapid breathing.

He couldn't see the other person's face clearly in the dimly lit bar last night, but now he's 100% sure it was this person who broke his nose!

"Great! It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

Wei Junshu grinned maliciously.

"Xiao Luoxi, is this your source of confidence? You found a pretty boy who can fight?"

Xiao Luoxi stood up, her voice trembling slightly.

"Mr. Wei, I'm here to settle my income and get my Douyin account back."

Wei Junshu seemed not to hear her words, his gaze fixed on Qin Luo.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you mess with Wei Junshu in Fuzhou?"

Qin Luo chuckled.

"Of course I know, he's known as the 'Number One Pervert of Fujian,' who tricks young girls into signing contracts and then forces them to drink and sleep with him."

The meeting room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhao Ming and the other legal staff lowered their heads in embarrassment, while Doubao took two steps back in fear.

Wei Junshu's face turned from green to red, and then from red to black.

"you wanna die!"

He suddenly pulled out his phone.

"Security! Bring men to the meeting room immediately!"

Xiao Luoxi grabbed Qin Luo's arm in a panic.

"let's go."

"Walk?"

Wei Junshu burst into wild laughter.

"You think you can just walk away after hitting me? If I don't cripple you today, I'll write my name, Wei Junshu, backwards!"

Qin Luo shielded Xiao Luoxi and Liu Piaopiao behind him, his voice frighteningly calm.

"You two step back."

Less than a minute later, the door to the meeting room was kicked open again, and three fully armed security guards rushed in, their rubber batons and stun guns gleaming coldly in their hands.

"Beat them to death! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

Wei Junshu roared hysterically.

The lead security guard raised his rubber baton and aimed it at Qin Luo's head! A glint flashed in Qin Luo's eyes, and the moment the baton fell, he leaped up like a spring!

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Qin Luo's right leg swept out like a steel whip, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

The kick was so fast it almost left a blur; the three security guards didn't even have time to react before being simultaneously kicked in the chest!

"what!"

"Uh!"

"Wow!"

Three screams rang out almost simultaneously. The three burly security guards were sent flying as if hit by a truck, crashing heavily against the wall of the reception room before slumping to the ground, where they immediately lost consciousness!

The reception room was deathly silent.

Wei Junshu's mouth dropped open, Doubao collapsed to the ground, and the folder in Zhao Ming's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Liu Piaopiao stood at the door of the private room, her fingers still in the position where she was about to make a phone call.

Her gaze was fixed on Qin Luo, her pupils slightly contracting.

The scene kept replaying in her mind: Qin Luo grabbed Wei Junshu's bodyguard's wrist with one hand, and with a seemingly casual twist, the nearly 1.9-meter-tall, burly man collapsed to the ground like a fish with its bones removed. (End of Chapter)
