"You're saying I control Chun Tao?" Long Xiaoshan laughed.
"What are you laughing about?" Su Mei said coldly.
"Ah, forget it, I can't be bothered with you all," Long Xiaoshan said, "Taozi, then let me ask you, do you want to stay and continue playing, or will you come with me?"
Chun Tao quickly grabbed Long Xiaoshan's arm and said, "Little Xiaoshan, of course, I'll go with you."
Seeing Chun Tao's anxious appearance, she looked like a pitiful abandoned puppy.
Everyone was falling apart.
You're at least a great beauty, can't you be a little more reserved?
Su Mei was even more frustrated as she said, "Chun Tao, do you really choose him?"

She really didn't understand. Han Mu, Zhong Keqin, Ma Botao—who among them wasn't ten times better than Long Xiaoshan? Wealthy and well-mannered. If it was said before that Chun Tao couldn't bear to leave Long Xiaoshan, that might be excused by the feelings between the two, then Long Xiaoshan's subsequent behavior was completely appalling.
Faced with Yuan Xiaoli, a female companion being bullied by outsiders, Long Xiaoshan actually shrank back like a turtle.
In the eyes of women, this was simply unforgivable behavior.
It could be utterly vetoed.
Yet, Chun Tao, as if spellbound, remained infatuated with Long Xiaoshan, choosing him without hesitation, which was incomprehensible.
This man who was poor, uneducated, and spineless—what was good about him?
Han Mu, Zhong Keqin, and others gritted their teeth.
But what could they do? Could they forcibly keep Chun Tao? She had willingly chosen him, and everyone had seen it. There was simply no stopping her.
Long Xiaoshan chuckled, took Chun Tao by the hand, and headed for the door.
However, after a few steps, he stopped and sighed.
"Go on then, why have you stopped?" Su Mei said with a cold voice.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't leave," Long Xiaoshan turned around and said helplessly.
Bang!
Just as Long Xiaoshan's voice fell, the door to the private room was violently kicked open, and a group of menacing men in black walked in, some holding clubs. After these men entered, they split into two rows.
Then, a man with a scar swaggered in, flanked by a stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire, supporting him as if she were attending to a Retired Emperor.
Seeing these men storm in, Wei Shaocong and the others changed their expressions slightly.
However, being a group of young men from notable backgrounds, they didn't show fear even though the scarred man had an imposing presence.
"Who are you?" Han Mu stepped forward and asked coldly.
"Brother-in-law, it's them. It's this bunch of little bastards who beat me up," a sharp voice rang out. A green-haired man emerged from behind the scarred man, the very one who had been beaten up at the bathroom entrance earlier.
Seeing the green-haired man, Han Mu's expression changed as he said, "So it's you."
"Damn it, you little bastards. Now with my brother-in-law here, you motherf*ckers be arrogant again, I'll make sure you're dead," the green-haired man said with an arrogant and fierce face.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Han Mu was not intimidated; his father owned a four-star hotel, and he didn't believe the green-haired man's brother-in-law would dare touch him. Furthermore, Wei Shaocong was there.
Han Mu didn't pay attention to the green-haired man but appeared confident as he addressed the scarred man, "Brother, you should manage your little brother-in-law. Not every woman is someone he can touch; be careful not to bring trouble on yourself."
Zhu Liang's eyes narrowed sharply.
He didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled, walked a few steps forward, and came face-to-face with Han Mu, "Haha, interesting. Not many dare to speak to me like that in Hechuan City. May I know who you are?"
"My name is Han Mu. My father is Han Jun, the chairman of the Horse Hotel," Han Mu said indifferently.
"Horse Hotel, Han Jun, could it be the one from XC District?" Zhu Liang took a sharp breath.
"That's right," Han Mu said, seeing Zhu Liang's expression and thinking he was afraid.
Slap!
Suddenly, a slap landed, and Zhu Liang smacked Han Mu fiercely to the ground.
Zhu Liang was strong, and Han Mu got confused by the slap, his face swelling up like it was blown up with air.
"When your father sees me, he has to call me Brother Liang. What are you? Daring to tell me about bringing trouble upon yourself," Zhu Liang stomped on Han Mu and bent over, saying fiercely.
That aura of a real tough guy erupted.
Han Mu was scared white in the face.
Moreover, the other party, after hearing his father's name, wasn't frightened at all. Usually, he relied on his father's name to be arrogant outside. Now, this card was useless, and he didn't know what to do.
"Go die." The green-haired man charged forward, punching and kicking Han Mu.
Han Mu, pinned down by Zhu Liang, couldn't break free, and his screams were incessant.
"Stop it." Wei Shaocong and others hurriedly rushed forward, attempting to rescue Han Mu.
Zhu Liang waved his hand, and his dozens of underlings swarmed in; Wei Shaocong urgently shouted, "My dad is Wei Jianjun, stop it right now."
Zhu Liang's expression paused for a moment before he shouted, "Stop."
Everyone halted their moves, including the green-haired man, who was already a de facto power figure in Hechuan City, wielded considerable deterrence.
"Your dad is Wei Jianjun." Zhu Liang said, squinting his eyes.
"That's right, my dad is Wei Jianjun, let go of my classmate now," Wei Shaocong urgently commanded.
Zhu Liang's eyes flashed with wariness but didn't lift his foot off Han Mu. Instead, he looked at Zhong Keqin and Ma Botao and asked, "What about you two, what is your status?"
Zhong Keqin and Ma Botao reported their families' status too.
Their families each owned companies with assets of tens of millions.
After hearing this, Zhu Liang exhaled sharply and suddenly swung his hand furiously, "Take them all away for me."
"You dare!"
Wei Shaocong was shocked, but soon he and the other two were subdued by Zhu Liang's men.
"Drag him over there," Zhu Liang ordered, pointing at Wei Shaocong. "Little Mao, for the other three, however they hit you just now, hit them back the same way."
"Thank you, brother-in-law," the green-haired man said with a ferocious face as he charged towards Zhong Keqin and Ma Botao.
Screams soon filled the private room.
Wei Shaocong, furious, shouted, "Stop it now. Aren't you afraid my father will have you arrested?"
Zhu Liang shook his head in disdain.
XC District was the poorest in Hechuan City. Besides, Zhu Liang was based in CZ District and was not without backing. He would, at most, not touch this Wei Shaocong.
As for Wei Shaocong's classmates, they amounted to nothing.
Seeing Han Mu and others getting brutally beaten, Su Mei and the others turned pale with fear. They were usually delicate and spoiled; they had never witnessed such violence.
Even Su Mei, who was normally quite loquacious, could not utter a word now.
After a brutal beating, Han Mu, Zhong Keqin, and Ma Botao were all swollen and bruised, with Han Mu even losing several teeth, nowhere near the dashing appearance he had earlier.
"That's enough."
Zhu Liang commanded firmly,
and the green-haired man stopped.
These were children of wealthy families; a lesson was all they needed. Causing serious trouble would be a problem even for him.
After being released, Wei Shaocong and others quickly gathered together.
But at this moment, those ignorant young masters no longer possessed their earlier arrogance.
Wei Shaocong, grinding his teeth, asked, "Brother Liang, can we leave now?"
"Get lost," Zhu Liang gestured dismissively.
Wei Shaocong and the others, as if granted amnesty, prepared to leave with Su Mei and others in tow.
However, the green-haired man clearly wasn't ready to let things end there.
He rushed over, slapped Yuan Xiaoli across the face, grabbed her hair, and dragged her out, snarling, "Come out with me, we're not done settling our score."
"I don't want to, I don't want to!" Yuan Xiaoli struggled and shrieked, weeping loudly.
"Save me, save me, Young Master Wei, Young Master Han, Su Mei, Mengjie."
Yuan Xiaoli knew all too well what would happen if she were left behind alone.
But at that moment, Wei Shaocong and the others kept their heads down, not daring to say another word. They could stand up to a mere thug before, but facing someone as connected as Zhu Liang, they were now completely terrified.
Moreover, this whole incident was Yuan Xiaoli's fault to begin with.
After being brutally beaten, the anger of Han Mu and others towards Yuan Xiaoli had built inside them, and they were even less likely to speak up.
"Let her go, she's just a girl."
Although Li Mengjie and Su Mei were anxious, they were helpless to do anything.
Chun Tao couldn't stand it anymore, clutching Long Xiaoshan's arm, she looked up at him and said, "Little Xiaoshan."
Long Xiaoshan patted Chun Tao on the head, knowing she had a tender heart, he stepped forward and said indifferently, "Alright, Brother Liang, let's call it even. Give me some face."
