After Manager Liu Fu's resolute words, "Fire me if you want! But not him!", Wang Jian and Wang Lun's faces had become so gloomy they could drip water! Their identities—the heirs of Wansheng and Huadi—were like two towering golden mountains crashing down, yet they couldn't even budge a hair on the head of a restaurant waiter.
This isn't just being disrespectful; it's a blatant slap in the face! It's trampling their prized "background" underfoot!
Who exactly is that waiter?
The unease in Wang Jian's heart grew wildly like poisonous weeds. He suppressed his rage and a trace of inexplicable fear, his voice hoarse and filled with final resentment as he stared intently at Manager Liu Fu:

"What exactly does his family do? Are they very powerful?" As he asked this question, the ominous premonition in his heart was so clear that it suffocated him—in Jiangzhou, who else could have such power besides that ruthless figure from Junxiao Group and the people around him?

The manager was also drenched in sweat, feeling like he was dancing on a knife's edge. He nodded and bowed repeatedly, his voice trembling with tears, trying to explain:
"Yes...yes! Gentlemen, please calm down! It's just that...that Zhao Liang...oh, you know, that waiter...his cousin...oh no, his second uncle's cousin...we...we really...can't afford to offend him...please, gentlemen, have mercy..."

"Second Uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun's expression immediately became extremely strange! He subconsciously glanced at Wang Jian with a look of pity that said, "You're finished!"—he clearly remembered what Wang Jian had yelled at the waiter Zhao Liang in the corridor not long ago: "I'll fuck your grandpa!"

Now the manager is saying that Zhao Liang's second uncle's family is very powerful and can't be messed with... This is... This is practically stepping on a landmine!

Surname Zhao?

These two words pierced Wang Lun's mind like lightning! He suddenly remembered that the waiter Zhao Liang looked somewhat familiar! At this moment, the keywords "Second Uncle" and "surname Zhao" overlapped, and a figure that terrified him instantly overlapped with Zhao Liang's blurry features!

It's him! It's definitely someone from his family!

Wang Lun sprang up from his chair with a "whoosh!" The movement was so forceful that it knocked over the teacup on the table! With a crisp "crash!", the delicate bone china cup shattered on the floor, shards flying everywhere!
His face turned deathly pale in an instant! Completely devoid of color! His lips trembled uncontrollably.

"His...his cousin...what's his name?!" Wang Lun's voice was sharp and trembling, almost breaking, as he desperately asked with a dying-like sense of despair.
Seeing Wang Lun's thunderstruck and utterly terrified state, Wang Jian's heart sank to the bottom! A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head! Only one thought remained in his mind:
"Damn it! Damn it! Did we run into a brick wall again?"

The manager glanced at the several people whose faces had changed, swallowed a non-existent saliva, and, in a barely audible whisper, carefully uttered each word:

"Call...call...Zhao...Hui..."

"Thump!" Wang Lun felt as if all his bones had been removed, his legs went weak, and he slumped back into the chair! He gripped the armrests tightly with both hands, his knuckles making a soft "crackling" sound from the excessive force.

Damn it! What did I ever do to deserve this?!

I've been keeping a very low profile during my trip to Jiangzhou! I couldn't be more discreet!
Why do I keep running into evil spirits as soon as I step outside?!

You can run into a waiter while eating out? Is he Zhao Hui's cousin?!
Jiangzhou...it's cursed! It's so eerie! It's no place for humans! I'll never come here again, even if you kill me!
Although Wang Jian didn't know exactly who Zhao Hui was, seeing Wang Lun's look of utter disbelief—no, of seeing the King of Hell—he knew things were serious! He quickly looked at Wang Lun, his voice filled with unprecedented panic: "President Wang... this... this Zhao Hui...?"

Wang Lun took several deep breaths to barely suppress his trembling body. He raised his head, his gaze towards Wang Jian and the others filled with despair and a pitying "good luck to you" attitude.

“Zhao Hui… is Zhao Xiangjun’s… older brother…”

"hiss--!!!"

A collective gasp of shock filled the private room!
Zhao Xiangjun?!

Chen Xiao's official wife! The mistress of Junxiao Group!

Liu Gang felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, almost wetting himself in fright! He had only managed to get in touch with President Chen through Qin Yaling and the others! If Zhao Hui or Zhao Xiangjun found out that he had dined with Wang Jian and Wang Lun, these "plague gods" who had offended President Chen, and had almost messed with Zhao Hui's cousin... wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain? Who could he turn to for justice?

And Wang Jian...

Wang Jian's feelings at this moment could no longer be described as fear! It was a complex mix of extreme absurdity, extreme lingering fear, and a suicidal impulse!

He just... wanted to sleep with Zhao Liang's second uncle?!

Zhao Liang's second uncle... isn't he Zhao Hui and Zhao Xiangjun's biological father?

Wang Jian felt a chill creep down his spine! He could almost see Chen Xiao or Zhao Hui's icy gaze fixed on him! This... this was practically courting death!
How could he possibly eat this? Wang Jian just wanted to disappear immediately!
Fortunately, Qin Jun still had some quick wit. He forced himself to remain calm, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and suggested in a weak voice:
"Well... thankfully... nothing bigger happened... um... manager, how about... tonight, let's not have that... Zhao Liang serve us in this private room... let's get someone else... I suppose... I suppose he... he wouldn't go... go and complain about such a small thing, right?" He said this without any confidence, more like he was trying to comfort himself.

The manager looked at the arrogant young men in front of him, who were now trembling like quails, and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Junxiao Group... is really something! A vice president of Junxiao Commercial Management... can scare these young masters who can shake the capital like the wind with a stomp of their feet... into this state?"

He had no idea that Zhao Hui's identity was far more than just "Vice President of Junxiao Business Management".
That's President Chen's brother-in-law! He's Zhao Xiangjun's biological brother! He's a true member of the royal family within Chen Xiao's inner circle! His status is incomparable to that of an ordinary vice president.

While secretly marveling at Jun Xiao's terrifying power, the manager nodded repeatedly, agreeing with a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, bosses! I'll arrange it right away! Have Zhao Liang go to another private room." He felt that he could finally escape from this terrifying vortex.

A deathly silence fell over the private room once more, broken only by Wang Lun's heavy, fear-filled breathing and Wang Jian's vacant, soulless gaze. After a while, a sigh of relief escaped his lips. Thank goodness, he had only uttered harsh words; he hadn't gone up and punched Zhao Liang, nor had he escalated the situation further.
A moment later, Wang Jian's suppressed rage, like a volcano with its flames blocked, desperately needed an outlet. His gloomy gaze swept over Wang Lun and Qin Jun, who were equally shaken. Admitting defeat today wasn't shameful! In Jiangzhou, who wouldn't back down when they encountered that family? Even the Heavenly King himself would have to bow his head!

But he couldn't swallow this insult! He had to find someone to vent his anger on!

After thinking for a moment, he vented his anger: "Damn it, it's all because of those two car models today, otherwise why would so much trouble have happened?"

"This can't just end like this! They have to come over here in a bit! Each of them has to punish themselves with three drinks! No! Five drinks! To apologize to me! Otherwise..." A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, revealing the arrogance typical of a spoiled brat, "I'll blacklist them in the car industry from now on! I'll make sure they never get a decent order again!"

Liu Gang kept his head down, eyes downcast, barely daring to breathe. Interrupting at this moment would only invite trouble. Inwardly, however, he couldn't help but feel contempt: Ha! Taking his anger out on two models? Quite something! If you're so capable, why don't you repeat those harsh words you just said to Zhao Liang? Useless!
“They ran away in the chaos! Come on, Lao Qin, let’s go next door and ‘invite’ them!” He emphasized the word “invite” with a threatening tone.

Wang Jian suddenly stood up, exuding a fierce aura. Looking at him, Liu Gang sighed inwardly: those two girls were really unlucky to have gotten themselves into such a cowardly bully!
Qin Jun got up and went out with Wang Jian.

The two pushed open the door to VIP room 888 and stepped out, just as they saw the door to VIP room 999 next door being pushed open as well, a figure slipping in sideways. Although they only saw a back view and a fleeting profile—a cascade of long, black hair, a slender, perfectly proportioned figure, and a stunningly delicate, fair jawline in that fleeting glimpse…

Wang Jian and Qin Jun both had a sudden realization: This must be the friend Qin Ning and the others were waiting for! She's definitely a stunning beauty!

"Let's go!" Wang Jian called out.

Damn it, bullying a few women is a piece of cake.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Inside the private room, after exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Ziqian was inviting Bai Lu to sit in the main seat. Bai Lu's stunningly beautiful face, radiating a touch of languid elegance, was particularly dazzling under the lights. Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao had just sat down when they heard a knock on the door.

Wang Jian's sudden entrance was so loud that it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

He didn't even see who was in the main seat; his mind was filled with venting his anger and displaying his "authority." As soon as he entered, he yelled at the top of his lungs in what he thought was a domineering tone:

"Qin Ning! Xie Xiaoxiao! Come with me to the...the next room..."

Before he could finish saying the word "separated," his gaze finally focused on the woman in the main seat who was looking at him with a slight frown and a hint of displeasure at being disturbed!
boom--! ! !
Wang Jian felt as if a bolt of lightning had exploded on the top of his head! His mind went completely blank! That face... that breathtakingly beautiful face that left an indelible impression on him, a face that had even haunted his nightmares!
White Dew?

She's Chen Xiao's woman!

"what--!!!"

A piercing, inhuman scream of terror suddenly erupted from Wang Jian's throat! The sinister smile on his face froze instantly, then transformed into utter terror! His eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets! It was as if he had truly seen the Grim Reaper, the devil himself, coming to claim his life!
He had no time to think; his body reacted instinctively! To everyone's astonishment, Wang Jian was struck as if by electric shock, suddenly spinning 180 degrees on the spot! Like a startled rabbit, he turned and fled frantically! His speed was so great that it created a gust of wind!

"boom!"

"Ouch!"

Qin Jun, who was right behind him and hadn't even fully entered the room, was caught off guard and was violently knocked off his feet by Wang Jian's bull-like charge! The two of them fell to the ground with a "thud" and rolled awkwardly on the carpet at the entrance of the private room!

At this moment, Wang Jian no longer cared about the Qin army! The immense fear unleashed astonishing strength in him. He scrambled to his feet, not even glancing at the Qin soldiers he had just knocked over, and then scrambled and rolled towards VIP room 888, running for his life! His back was filled with terror and despair, as if a demon was chasing him!

Qin Jun's vision blurred and his ribs throbbed with pain from the impact, but seeing Wang Jian's desperate escape—no, it was as if he'd seen a ghost, the King of Hell—even he, in his dazed state, knew something terrible had happened! He reacted swiftly, enduring the excruciating pain, and scrambled to his feet, not even bothering to brush the dust off himself. He immediately followed Wang Jian, retreating in a disheveled state, and slammed the door of VIP room 999 shut with a resounding bang! As if that door could shut out the terror within!
An eerie silence filled the 999 private room.

Bai Lu frowned slightly, her delicate brows furrowing, a hint of annoyance at being disturbed and...confused? She looked at the still slightly swaying door, her red lips parting slightly, her voice tinged with a lazy doubt:

"Just now... wasn't that that... idiot from Huadi Auto? What was he doing running in here? What's wrong with him?"

Zhang Ziqian was also confused and looked at Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression: "You know him? What's going on?"

Qin Ning looked at the tightly closed door, then at Bai Lu and Zhang Ziqian, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her—a mixture of relief and a secret excitement. She shook her head, her tone calm yet tinged with a hint of detachment:
"We're not close. We're more like... we know each other's names." She deliberately distanced herself from the relationship.

Bai Lu and Zhang Ziqian immediately understood; he was just trying to strike up a conversation again. Zhang Ziqian laughed, "If you don't want to talk to him, he probably won't dare to bother you again."

That's absolutely true. Wang Jian returned to the private room, completely stunned. He only had a distant relative Zhao Liang, but he knew Bai Lu, the woman in this room. It was because of her that he had exclaimed, "Jiangzhou produces beauties!" She was Chen Xiao's woman. And Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning were with her—could it be that they also had connections to Chen Xiao?

The more Wang Jian thought about it, the more panicked he became; it really was possible. Chen Xiao was practically a beauty collector; it seemed like he could get involved with every beautiful woman.

On the way back, Qin Jun heard Wang Jian reveal Bai Lu's identity. He was furious; how could Wang Jian be so unlucky? Was he going to be dragged into this mess again? (End of Chapter)
