The second floor.

The entrance to a luxurious private room.

Two muscular men in black suits stood guard at the door, one on the left and one on the right.

Expressionless.

His eyes were cold.

You can tell at a glance that they are professional bodyguards.

Inside the room.

The lighting was dim and ambiguous.

Seven or eight young men sat around a table.

They were well-dressed and had an extraordinary air about them.

The watch on your wrist, any one of them, is enough to feed an ordinary person for decades.

At that moment, they all wore amused smiles as they looked towards the doorway.

Doorway.

Li Shuze blocked the door.

He was tall and slender, and quite handsome.

But at this moment, the expression on his face was horribly distorted.

anger.

unwilling.

Possessiveness.

And a haughty arrogance.

He was opposite him.

The waitress who just took orders for Tiezhu and Shiliu—

Tong Ke was pressed against the corner of the wall.

He was trembling all over.

His face was filled with terror.

His eyes were brimming with tears.

"Tong Ke—!"

Li Shuze's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

"Don't push your luck!"

"Oh shit!"

He approached step by step.

"You'd rather come here as a waiter than work for me!"

"And they're still avoiding me everywhere!"

"I said—"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Any woman I, Li Shuze, set my sights on—"

"Throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom, no matter how you hide—"

"I can find you!"

Tong Ke's tears finally welled up and spilled out.

"Li Shuze..."

Her voice was choked with sobs and pleading.

"We're really not a good match..."

"Please, have some mercy and let me go, okay?"

This is her ninth job.

From coffee shops to bubble tea shops to convenience stores to clothing stores...

She kept changing jobs and kept hiding.

But this person was like someone possessed by a demon—

No matter where she hides, he can find her!

"hehe."

Li Shuze smiled.

His smile was full of wickedness.

"Tong Ke, you only have one choice—"

"Follow me."

"otherwise--"

His voice turned cold.

"You will lose your job right now."

"One phone call from me and the boss here won't hire you anymore."

"Because of you, he can't keep his restaurant open."

He raised his hand and straightened his cuffs.

"This is my authority."

"If you follow me, you'll have everything."

"Not following me—"

He stared into Tong Ke's eyes.

He spoke slowly and deliberately.

You will lose everything.

"Including the university you're currently attending—"

"You won't be able to get on either."

Tong Ke's body trembled violently.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

My father is still in the hospital.

They are waiting for the money to save their lives.

She attended school and worked at the same time.

They worked tirelessly day and night.

Just to raise that medical bill.

now--

This devil has set his sights on her.

They want to take everything away from her.

She smiled.

It is a desperate mockery of the injustice of fate.

Tears fell silently.

I'm done laughing.

She lowered her head.

But deep in his eyes, a last vestige of stubbornness ignited.

Since there's nothing left—

Then let's go for it!

Tong Ke suddenly raised her head!

There was no longer fear and pleading in their eyes.

It's a do-or-die decision!

She lifted her foot—

He used all his strength to kick Li Shuze hard in the groin!

"Ugh—!!!"

Li Shuze was completely unprepared!

He was hunched over, clutching his groin, his face instantly turning a deep purplish-red!

Tong Ke seized this opportunity—

He flung open the door to the private room!

They rushed out!

The two bodyguards at the door paused for a moment.

I realized it immediately!

But Tong Ke had already rushed two meters away!

She ran for her life!

Run towards the stairs!

Run towards the lobby!

Run towards the crowd!

however--

She was so unfortunate.

The two bodyguards reacted too quickly.

They've caught up.

They pressed down on her shoulders, one on each side.

Her struggles were like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the strong bodyguards.

Li Shuze walked out of the private room, grinning.

His face was ashen.

His eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to devour someone.

He walked up to Tong Ke.

Raise your hand—

"Smack—!!!"

A resounding slap!

He slapped Tong Ke hard across the face!

Tong Ke's head was knocked to one side!

A clear handprint instantly appeared on his left cheek!

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth!

This moment.

The entire lobby of the restaurant witnessed this scene.

Guests dining.

A waiter carrying a plate.

The cashier manager.

All eyes were on this side.

The air seemed to freeze.

Li Shuze's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he swept across the lobby. "What are you looking at?"

This is just the two of us arguing. Eat your food and mind your own business, or don't blame me for being impolite.

The people dining in the lobby looked at Li Shuze, who was surrounded by outstanding young men, and had strong bodyguards by his side. No one dared to step forward.

Li Shuze then glared menacingly at Tong Ke.

"You bitch!"

"You're quite strong-willed, aren't you?"

"Then I'll make you lose everything!"

"You'll receive your expulsion notice from school tomorrow!"

"in addition--"

He gave a cold laugh.

"Your dad will be kicked out of the hospital too!"

"Let's see how fierce you can be now!"

Tong Ke's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Not for myself.

This is for the father in the hospital.

If you are kicked out of the hospital...

He will die.

It will really die.

She looked up.

As far as the eye can see—

The restaurant's lobby manager stood not far away.

His face turned pale, but he dared not step forward.

The guests in the lobby were still eating.

Some people lowered their heads, some glanced sideways, and some whispered among themselves.

But no one stepped forward.

No one speaks.

She struggled desperately!

It screamed desperately!

"He and I are not lovers—!!!"

"He kept forcing me to follow him—!!!"

"I refuse—!!!"

"Please, please have mercy on me—!!!"

"Even calling the police for me would be helpful!!!"

The sound echoed in the empty lobby.

Desolate and fierce.

despair.

Like a lone blade of grass in a storm, mercilessly torn apart by fate.

but--

She was met only with silence.

Dead silence.

Li Shuze sneered.

"take away."

Two words, light and airy.

But that determined her fate.

Two bodyguards lifted Tong Ke up.

Start walking forward.

Tong Ke's struggles became increasingly futile.

Tears blurred my vision.

His gaze swept over a series of unfamiliar faces.

All those people were watching her.

But not a single person stepped forward.

She was desperate.

Totally desperate.

"Let her go—!!!"

A clear voice suddenly rang out in the hall!
