Xia Yanbing clenched her fists, her eyes icy cold.
"Don’t look at me like that. The more you do, the more excited I get. I’ve played with so many women, all obedient, and now I want a change. Xia Yanbing, you can try to resist, but I guarantee your family won’t see the sun rise tomorrow morning."
Xia Yanbing froze, knowing exactly what the Zhang Family was capable of. They could really do such things, causing her face to turn pale, feeling at a loss for a moment. She had a knack for business, but in the face of this, she was just a woman and felt scared.
"Young Master Zhang, if you like women, I can give you money or help you find them. However many you want." Xia Yanbing forced herself to stay calm.
"What a joke. Do you think I’m lacking women? I want to play with you. I’m set on having you tonight." Zhang Lin reached out towards Xia Yanbing. Just as she was about to dodge, Zhang Lin sneered, "If you dare to dodge, I’ll call someone to your house right now, and I guarantee you’ll never know where your family dies."
Xia Yanbing’s pretty face turned paper-white, her body rigid, eyes misted as she helplessly watched Zhang Lin’s wolfish claws stretch towards her.
"Young Master Zhang, it’s wise to know when to stop."
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, stopping Zhang Lin’s hand in mid-air.
Everyone around was shocked. Who dared wade into these troubled waters and provoke such trouble?
Zhang Lin’s eyes darkened as he turned to see who dared spoil his plans. A slight shock crossed his face when he saw it was Liu Zhanyuan.
Xia Yanbing was also shocked, looking at Liu Zhanyuan as he approached, her gaze full of confusion. She had never dealt with Liu Zhanyuan and couldn’t understand why he would help her.
"So it’s Director Liu, what’s your meaning?" Zhang Lin’s face wore a frivolous smile. The Zhang Family’s open power wasn’t as strong as the Liu Family, but if it really came to a fight, in the underworld, the Zhang Family wasn’t afraid of the Liu Family.
Liu Zhanyuan walked over, nodded slightly towards Xia Yanbing, thinking to himself how lucky this woman was to be under Mr. Qin’s protection.
Liu Zhanyuan looked at Zhang Lin, "Young Master Zhang, this is a business banquet, not a place for your indulgences. Don’t shame your family’s elders. Go home."
Zhang Lin squinted, "What do you mean? Is Director Liu also interested in this woman?"
Liu Zhanyuan swung a round slap directly at him. Because Zhang Lin had been drinking, he was knocked to the ground, half of his face swiftly swelling red.
Zhang Lin clutched his face, looking incredulously at Liu Zhanyuan.
Everyone around was also shocked. They initially thought Liu Zhanyuan was just stopping things, but they didn’t expect he would directly take action, and against Zhang Lin no less.
Xia Yanbing’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting Liu Zhanyuan to directly take action.
"Do you think everyone has their mind filled with sordid thoughts like you, this useless brat? Even your father wouldn’t dare speak to me like that, and you, a troublemaking junior, dare act arrogantly before me? You’ve become too overconfident, thinking no one can handle you?" Liu Zhanyuan glared darkly at Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin was stunned by the slap. When he reacted, his expression turned vicious, roaring, "Liu Zhanyuan, you dare hit me, I’ll kill you."
Zhang Lin had never suffered such a loss before, roaring as he staggered up to charge at Liu Zhanyuan. But just as he got up, two of Liu Zhanyuan’s bodyguards pinned him down, immobile.
"Liu Zhanyuan, you dare touch me, I’ll kill your whole family, I’ll make you die miserably..." Zhang Lin struggled fiercely, roaring, but with his body weakened by indulgence, he couldn’t break free from the two burly bodyguards’ grip. Struggling was futile.
"Kill my family?" Liu Zhanyuan sneered disdainfully, "Zhang Lin, words have responsibilities, you can’t just say that to anyone."
"I swear, I’ll kill your whole family, I’ll make sure your whole family dies miserably." Zhang Lin’s eyes were venomous, screaming desperately.
"Fine, then I’ll wait for you to kill my whole family." Liu Zhanyuan sneered disdainfully, waving his hand, "Before you kill my whole family, I’ll give you a lesson. Break his legs and throw him out."
Everyone present turned pale. They didn’t expect Liu Zhanyuan to be so ruthless; they thought he’d just teach a lesson. But unexpectedly, he directly went for the kill.
Zhang Lin also paused, a flash of fear in his eyes, but he was used to being arrogant and thought Liu Zhanyuan was just bluffing, sneering, "Liu Zhanyuan, try touching me? My dad won’t spare you."
"Besides relying on your dad, what else can you do? Useless. I’ll teach you a good lesson on behalf of your dad today, do it." With that, Liu Zhanyuan coldly waved his hand.
One bodyguard held Zhang Lin tight, while another stood up, picking up a chair to smash down hard on Zhang Lin’s leg.
The piercing sound of bone breaking made everyone present shiver, their bodies tensing with chills.
"Ah..." Zhang Lin let out a horrific scream, sending shivers down the spine.
Xia Yanbing clutched her mouth in fear, her eyes wide, almost screaming in terror.
"Continue!" Liu Zhanyuan said coldly. Behind him was an immortal-like figure, what was the Zhang Family compared to that? Mere nouveau riche trying to clean up their act, nothing compared to one of Qin Yi’s hair strands.
Zhang Lin trembled like a sieve, sobered by fear, not expecting Liu Zhanyuan to really mean it.
"Uncle Liu, I was wrong, I really was wrong, please let me go, I beg you..." Zhang Lin was scared, trembling and crying out in fear.
Liu Zhanyuan sneered coldly, "I’m not the one in charge here. That master wants your legs, and I dare not defy his command. Being alive after offending President Xia means that master has shown mercy, be grateful."
Everyone was shocked again, realizing Liu Zhanyuan wasn’t acting on his own to deal with Zhang Lin, nor helping Xia Yanbing on his own, but following orders. Who could order Liu Zhanyuan?
Liu Zhanyuan sneered coldly, waving his hand.
The bodyguard lifted the chair to smash it down again, breaking Zhang Lin’s other leg as well.
Women present screamed in fear, some even collapsing to the ground, eyes vacant.
It’s not just the women, even the men felt cold in their limbs and tingling scalps, Liu Zhanyuan was too ruthless. No, strictly speaking, it was the one behind Liu Zhanyuan who was terrifying; Liu Zhanyuan was merely carrying out orders.
Zhang Lin was already convulsing on the ground, eyes rolled back.
"Throw him out." Liu Zhanyuan waved his hand in disgust.
Just as two bodyguards were about to lift Zhang Lin and throw him out, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone instinctively looked towards the voice, seeing a tall young man walking in from outside. Almost everyone present recognized him, the owner of this hotel, Dong Zhiping.
