The young man at the door stood silhouetted against the light, making it impossible to see his expression.
He emerged from the shadows, revealing an icy expression. Then, he squatted down slightly, took off his leather gloves, and slapped Huang Long’s cheek forcefully. “How dare you.”
“You, who are you?” Huang Long was trembling in fear. He had tried resisting just now and his movements had caused the towel around his waist to loosen.
The young man glanced at him casually and suddenly smiled mockingly. “Strip him.”
The person holding Huang Long down tore off his towel almost as soon as the young man finished speaking. With the last of his covering stripped away, the man’s dirty body was completely exposed to everyone.
“You really like to play.” The young man stood up in disgust. His cold eyes followed the water that were dripping from his feet onto the bathroom door. “Zhong Xin, I’ll leave this to you. You should understand what I mean.”
“Alright, President Lian,” The frail-looking bespectacled man replied coldly. He casually drew the dagger at his waist and narrowed his eyes at Huang Long, who was pinned to the ground.
Huang Long was terrified. He kept twitching his limbs in an attempt to break free. He was twisting his body as he glared at Zhong Xin in horror. “L-let me go. I beg you. You can’t do this. I won’t be a man. I beg you, I’ll give you all the money you want!”
“You only have yourself to blame for touching someone you shouldn’t touch.”
Zhong Xin raised his dagger and quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly cut off Huang Long’s most important organ. The man on the ground turned pale and he choked on his own wail. Only then did Zhong Xin throw the knife away in satisfaction. He slowly took off his white, blood-stained gloves and said, “Clean it up. Don’t let him die.”
“Yes.” The bodyguard expressionlessly wrapped him in a towel and began to carry him out of the room.
Zhong Xin glanced in the direction of the bathroom before following him out. He smiled and patted Huang Long’s stunned face. “Remember, don’t say anything that you ought not to say. Don’t do anything that you ought not to do. Otherwise, President Lian won’t be so merciful next time.”
After carrying Huang Long away, Zhong Xin lowered his eyes and looked indifferently at the frightened staff who was sitting on the ground.
Before he could say anything, the staff member immediately knelt and raised his hand to swear, “I swear, I won’t say anything, really! I swear! Let me go. I led the way for you just now, right?”
Zhong Xin looked at him contemptuously and said sternly, “Find a waitress and ask for a clean set of clothes.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The staff member immediately got up as if he had been pardoned. He was trembling as he stumbled away from Zhong Xin’s cold gaze.
In the bathroom, Lian Jing squatted down expressionlessly and pulled the trembling girl into his arms.
Lian Meng was completely drenched. The water on her body soaked through Lian Jing’s clothes. She had been terrified just now. Now that her brother had finally come to save her, she felt a lump in her throat. She threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, “Brother, why are you so late? They almost hurt me!” “Don’t be afraid.” Lian Jing stroked her head and took off his coat to cover her.
At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the bathroom door. Lian Meng was so frightened that she quickly shrank into his arms and stared at the door with frightened eyes.
Lian Jing blocked her line of sight. He reached out his long arm and turned the doorknob, opening the bathroom door slightly.
Zhong Xin stuffed the clothes he had just asked for through the crack in the door. Then, he said with a serious expression, “President Lian, we’ve already checked. Young Master Fu is in the innermost room. When our people entered, he was sitting by the bed. It looks like he really drank too much.”
Lian Jing sneered and threw the clothes to Lian Meng so that she could put them on herself. Then, he turned around and walked out of the suite. Without another word, he raised his fist and punched Fu Ting in the face. “Who asked you to bring Meng Meng to such a place? How dare you leave her alone outside!”
Fu Ting smiled bitterly. His eyes, which usually had a faint smile, were now dull. He weakly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes in pain. “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“You didn’t do it on purpose?” Lian Jing was so angry that he almost laughed. He punched his face again, then grabbed his collar and pressed him against the wall. “Tell me, did Lian’e ask you to do this? Do you think that if something happens to Lian Meng now, I will fumble and she can take the opportunity to seize control of the Lian family?”
Fu Ting looked up slightly and met his fierce eyes. Suddenly, he shook his head and laughed. “Lian Jing, she’s my mother. I won’t tell you anything.”
“Then you had better get lost.” Lian Jing let go and turned around to see Lian Meng, who was dressed, her hair was still dripping wet. He took a deep breath and said in a gentle tone, “I’ll send you home first..”
