But Qin Luo rarely comes to Hengdian, and looking at the bright sunshine and distinctive antique-style buildings outside the window, he suddenly felt like visiting.

"There's no rush to practice singing. Since we're here, why not take a stroll around this 'Oriental Hollywood'?"

Qin Luo suggested.

Xiao Ruoxi naturally had no objections; she hadn't had a relaxing trip in a long time.

The two then embarked on a half-day tour of Hengdian.

They visited the magnificent Qin Palace, feeling the weight of history in its massive replica palace and square; strolled through the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces, experiencing the splendor of the ancient court; and also appreciated the blend of Chinese and Western styles in the Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street scenic area…

The afternoon flew by, and they didn't leave the Qin Palace scenic area until the sun was setting.

Just then, Qin Luo's phone rang urgently.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from the person in charge of "Jinyangxuan".

As soon as the call connected, the person in charge sounded panicked and on the verge of tears.

"Boss! Something terrible has happened! The shop... the shop has been vandalized! A lot of people have come, they're smashing things and hitting people! Please come back and check it out!"

Qin Luo's face instantly darkened, and his eyes turned icy.

"I know, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, he simply told Xiao Ruoxi beside him, "Something happened at the store," and then hailed a taxi. The two of them quickly rushed back to Jinyangxuan, located in the center of Hengdian.

As soon as she arrived at the restaurant entrance, the sight before her made Xiao Ruoxi cover her mouth and gasp!
The once elegantly decorated and spotless restaurant was now a complete mess! The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were smashed to pieces, with shards of glass scattered all over the floor.

The tables and chairs inside the shop were overturned, most of them smashed and kicked, with wood chips flying everywhere. The bar counter was overturned, and fine wines were spilled all over the floor, mixed with various liquids, emitting a pungent smell.

The decorative paintings on the wall had fallen to the ground, and the huge LCD TV screen was cracked like a spiderweb. The sounds of pots and pans being smashed could even be heard coming from the kitchen.

Several waiters huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, their faces showing terror, and all of them bearing injuries of varying degrees.

The most seriously injured was the manager, who was slumped on the ground with a broken forehead and blood flowing down his cheeks, staining his shirt red, a shocking sight.

Seeing this scene, Qin Luo's anger surged like ignited explosives! His eyes were as cold as the Siberian chill!

Just then, three slovenly-looking young men, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, strolled in from outside the crowd of onlookers.

The leader was a young man with dyed yellow hair.

The blond-haired man seemed quite satisfied with the state of the shop. He swaggered up to Qin Luo, tilted his head, and spoke in an extremely arrogant tone.

"Hey! You're the new owner of this shabby shop? Listen up! Brother De sent us to tell you—you have 24 hours to close the shop immediately! Otherwise, the consequences… heh heh, you'd better think it over!"

Qin Luo's gaze, like a cold blade, swept over these three clueless fools.

He confirmed it; it was these scumbags who ordered the attack.

Before the blond-haired man could even finish his threat, Qin Luo made his move!
Fast as lightning!

He suddenly raised his right foot, and with a sharp gust of wind, kicked the blond-haired man hard in the chest at a speed that was hard to detect with the naked eye!

"boom--!!"

A dull, resounding crash, like the sound of leather being struck!

Before the blond-haired man could even scream, he was sent flying backwards as if he had been hit by a speeding truck, his feet leaving the ground and his body arching like a shrimp!
"Crash—Bang!!"

His body crashed through the already shaky glass window behind him, splattering with countless shards of glass, and landed heavily on the sidewalk outside the store. He twitched twice and then fell silent.

quiet!
Deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden and incredibly vicious kick!

The remaining red-haired man and bald man stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape enough to fit an egg, their faces filled with incredulous horror!

After all this time, this was the first time they'd ever seen someone kick a person weighing over 100 pounds seven or eight meters away and smash a window!
How much strength does that take?!
Qin Luo slowly withdrew his foot, his gaze shifting as if looking at two ants, to the terrified red-haired man and the bald man.

He approached step by step, his footsteps sounding exceptionally clear in the silent ruins, each step seeming to pound on their hearts.

He looked down at the two trembling thugs, his voice low and cold, carrying an unquestionable authority and chilling killing intent.

"Go back and tell that guy, Brother De—"

"I will personally visit you tonight."

"Let him wash his neck and wait."

Seeing Manager Liu lying on the ground, pale-faced, breathing weakly, with blood still seeping from the wound on his forehead, already in a semi-conscious state, Qin Luo's eyes narrowed.

He crouched down, his movements swift as lightning. His fingers quickly pressed several acupoints around Manager Liu's wound, and a weak but pure internal force emanated from his fingers, acting like the most effective hemostat, instantly sealing the main bleeding point. The blood flow visibly slowed down until it stopped.

Immediately afterwards, he gently pressed his palm on Manager Liu's chest at the Tanzhong acupoint, slowly channeling a wisp of gentle internal energy into his body to protect his weakened heart meridian and stimulate his own vitality.

The internal energy flowed like a warm current through Manager Liu's nearly depleted meridians.

After a short while, Manager Liu's ashen face regained some color, and his weak breathing became stronger. Although he was still weak, he had finally caught his breath and was temporarily out of danger.

"boss……"

Manager Liu opened his eyes with difficulty, saw that it was Qin Luo, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

"Don't talk, just rest."

Qin Luo reassured him, then stood up and looked at the other employees who were still in shock.

Most of these employees only suffered minor injuries, such as bruises or cuts from broken glass, but the psychological trauma they experienced was far more severe.

Looking at the chaotic scene of the shop, as if it had been swept away by a hurricane, their faces were filled with fear and lingering dread. Many of them had shifty eyes and were already considering quitting.

Working in a place like this, no matter how much money you make, you still need to be alive to spend it!

Qin Luo took in their expressions and understood their fear.

Without saying a word, he took out his phone and transferred a bonus of 10,000 yuan to each of the employees present on the spot!

The notification sounds of the money arriving on their phones rang one after another. The employees were stunned when they saw the ten thousand yuan that had suddenly appeared in their accounts. The fear on their faces was replaced by surprise and a hint of joy.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Luo looked around at everyone, his voice clear and powerful.

"I'm sorry to have startled everyone today. I, Qin Luo, hereby guarantee that something like this will never happen again! Those who wish to stay will have their basic salary and year-end bonus doubled starting next month!" Salary and bonus doubled?!

These words were like another shot in the arm, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of all the employees!

Those who were initially hesitant and fearful suddenly brightened up! Their fear began to fade quickly in the face of tangible benefits.

Working at Jinyangxuan already offers better pay than other companies in the industry, and now that it's doubled... that income is enough to make many people's hearts flutter!

"Boss! I'll stay!"

"I'll stay too! I'll work for you!"

"thank you boss!"

After a brief silence, voices began to emerge. The generous bonuses and doubled salaries acted as the most effective stabilizers, instantly calming people's nerves and dispelling the thoughts of most people to resign.

The employees began to clean up the mess on their own initiative, their faces regaining their enthusiasm.

With the help of others, Manager Liu sat up and looked at the situation that had quickly stabilized. He admired the young boss's skills, but his worries were not completely gone.

He struggled to speak to Qin Luo.

"Boss... thank you! But... that Wang Defa, nicknamed 'Brother De,' is the local big boss. This time, I'm afraid this is just the beginning."

He definitely won't let this go... Maybe we should find someone to handle it? Or... spend some money to find a mediator to settle things?

In his view, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, and going head-to-head with someone like Wang Defa is too risky.

Qin Luo merely glanced at him indifferently, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable confidence.

"You don't need to worry about that. Your task is to get the store ready as soon as possible, contact the renovation team, and reopen as quickly as possible. I've already contacted Yipinxuan headquarters, and they will send a professional management and security team to support us."

He paused, then asked.

"Where does Wang Defa usually operate? Where is his hideout?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu's face turned even paler, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Boss! Please don't act rashly! Wang Defa has a large number of thugs under his command, they're all desperate criminals!"

He frequents the 'Nightfall' bar, which is his stronghold and heavily guarded! It's too dangerous for you to go there alone!

Qin Luo did not answer his question about the danger, but instead gave a slightly cold look and began to analyze the situation on his own.

“Wang Defa and I have no grudges against each other, so why did he suddenly come and smash my shop? It seems that someone asked him to do it.”

The faces of those who had clashed at Jinyangxuan earlier that afternoon flashed through his mind instantly.

Chen Tianfeng?
Although he is arrogant, he has the shrewd Sister Hua by his side to keep him in check, so he shouldn't be so stupid as to immediately resort to such a low-level and easily incriminating illegal means of retaliation as soon as a conflict breaks out.

So, the most likely candidate is the one eager to prove their loyalty and familiar with these sordid dealings in the area...

"Jiang Mingcheng."

Qin Luo uttered a name in a low voice, his eyes sharp as knives.

Nine times out of ten, it was that eager-to-show-off dog by Chen Tianfeng's side who secretly instigated Wang Defa to do it!
……

Meanwhile, inside a top-tier fitness club in Hengdian.

Sister Hua brought Chen Tianfeng, who was still somewhat agitated, here.

As a top idol, maintaining his physique is a must for Chen Tianfeng. He goes to the gym three times a week without fail, for at least two hours each time.

As his agent, Sister Hua also pays great attention to her own image and health management.

At this moment, Sister Hua has changed into a set of fitness clothes that accentuate her figure.

She wore tight black hot pants that perfectly showcased her pert buttocks and long, slender legs; her upper body was covered by a flesh-colored tank top that revealed her smooth back and slim waist.

Although she is over forty, she has maintained a very good figure through years of yoga and strength training, with a smooth back and especially the "hip-shaping" effect unique to her years of yoga practice.

This made her hips appear exceptionally firm and full, like a young girl's, full of mature charm and healthy vitality.

The only drawback might be that her breasts are a little small, but that doesn't detract from her overall hot and alluring figure.

As soon as she stepped into the equipment area, she immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Whether it was a muscular man lifting weights or someone on a treadmill, they couldn't help but steal glances at this woman who exuded mature charm.

Even the male personal trainer she had previously been assigned to was frequently complained about because he couldn't concentrate, so Sister Hua eventually had to switch to a female trainer.

Chen Tianfeng was doing bench presses, but his attention was completely off the fitness routine.

His gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, drifted uncontrollably toward Sister Hua, who was doing leg stretches not far away.

The rounded buttocks encased in those tight hot pants, the slender waist and smooth back muscles revealed when she stretched... all of this made his heart burn and his throat go dry.

He had been coveting Sister Hua for a long time.

This mature, shrewd, and charming woman had a fatal attraction for him.

However, he was also well aware of Sister Hua's formidable nature.

Once, he pretended to be drunk at a celebration banquet and tried to take advantage of Sister Hua. However, before he could say two words, Sister Hua delivered a swift and decisive knee strike to his vitals, causing him to curl up like a shrimp in pain. He was immediately sent to the hospital and took several days to recover.

From then on, he both loved and feared Sister Hua. He dared not have any more overtly improper thoughts, and only dared to secretly and greedily peek at the body that haunted his dreams and terrified him, while exercising.

Just then, assistant Wang Li rushed to the equipment area with her phone in hand, her face showing a hint of excitement and a desire to take credit. She lowered her voice and spoke to Chen Tianfeng, who had just finished a set of bench presses and was glancing at Sister Hua.

"Young Master Feng! Great news! Deputy Director Jiang just sent a message saying the matter is settled! Look!"

She handed her phone screen to Chen Tianfeng, which showed several photos sent by Jiang Mingcheng of the scene after "Jinyangxuan" was vandalized—broken doors and windows, overturned tables and chairs, a messy floor, and the tragic state of the injured employees... The images were shocking.

Looking at the photos, Chen Tianfeng imagined Qin Luo and Xiao Ruoxi's expressions when they saw this scene. The anger he had suffered at Jin Yang Xuan during the day seemed to find an outlet in an instant. Most of the pent-up frustration in his chest dissipated, and a smug and cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Okay! Well done!"

Chen Tianfeng slapped his thigh, praising her without reservation. (End of Chapter)
