Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Are You Going to Give This Face?
At this moment, in the spacious lounge, a woman was covering her face, sobbing bitterly.
"Brother Yang, I'm your woman. Don't you care that I got hit? That bastard thought I was a hooker, but I am your woman!" The woman cried her heart out, the very one who had just been slapped twice by Li Yang!
The man sitting at the head gave off an aura of vitality, his eyes opening and closing, emitting a fierce light!
"Hmph, blind fool, how dare he touch my woman?" Yang Zicheng sneered, waved his hand, and the obedient woman walked over. Yang Zicheng looked at her swollen face with a gleam of murderous intent in his eyes, "What's that kid's background? So brazen?"
"Boss Yang, that kid seems to be with Wu Hongwei. He must be somewhat wealthy, but he's really nobody special." Manager Lin also sneered, not expecting such an incident to occur.
This woman was the boss's, and his favorite one at that. Now, treated like a prostitute and even slapped twice, it was a direct slap to Yang Zicheng's face!
A trace of cold sweat crossed Manager Lin's face as he nervously explained, "That Wu Hongwei is the second son of the Wu Family. I had dinner with his father once, just met him that time."
He quickly tried to distance himself from the relationship, fearing the fire might spread to him.
"The Wu Family? The Wu Family is nothing! A kid dares to be so bold on my territory, and even hits my woman?" Yang Zicheng stood up, like a wild beast ready to go mad, his body emanating a cold murderous aura, "Let's go, we'll also pay a visit to the big shot of the Wu Family."
Yang Zicheng snorted coldly and walked towards the private room where Su Han and others were, followed by a large group of fierce-looking men.
Meanwhile, in a more upscale private room, Dong Lin was sitting there. Although he didn't really enjoy these settings, he had to attend sometimes because of work.
"Gentlemen, the development of East City District still needs investments from all you bosses. Let's cooperate and develop together, to achieve a win-win situation and do more meaningful things for the people here!" Dong Lin raised his glass and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Xu walked in and quietly relayed what he had just seen about Su Han to him.
Dong Lin was intrigued, hearing that Su Han was also here, he immediately got up and instructed Secretary Xu, "Take care of things here, I'm going to say hello."
In his heart, nothing was more important than his own father, and Su Han was the only one who could save his father, and provide treatment. Dong Lin dared not offend him.
Having said that, he alerted the others and immediately left the private room to visit Su Han.
Meanwhile, in the private room where Su Han and his group were, it was lively with singing and everyone enjoying themselves. Several women were hanging around Wu Hongwei and Li Yang, afraid of being overshadowed by the others.
But Qiao Yuman sat aside, feeling increasingly disgusted as she watched them.
"Yuman, let's go back, this place is troubled, not suitable to stay long." Su Han had a premonition that trouble was coming.
In such places, Li Yang's reckless behavior could provoke some undesirables, though Su Han was not afraid; as long as he was there, no one could harm Qiao Yuman!
But he also didn't want to expose his strength excessively to avoid unnecessary complications.
Yet Qiao Yuman shook her head. She had agreed to come out with Wu Hongwei and leaving now would be too face-losing, making future outings awkward.
"You go back in my car first; I'll take a cab back later," Qiao Yuman said after thinking it over. She didn't want to ride in Su Han's car again; it was too terrifying.
Just as Su Han was about to speak, he subtly moved his ears. Despite the noisy music in the private room, he could still hear numerous footsteps rapidly approaching.
"Now we can't leave even if we want to."
Su Han could only shake his head, hoping that the newcomers wouldn't be reckless. If they dared to harm Qiao Yuman, he would not hesitate to reveal his strength.
"Bang!"
The door to the private room suddenly burst open with a kick, the music abruptly cut off, severed instantly. Wu Hongwei turned and saw the person at the door, cursing uncontrollably, "Who the hell? Can't you see I'm singing?"
Wu Hongwei stood up, visibly annoyed, and Li Yang also rose, eyes narrowing as he looked at the newcomer.
Manager Dong stepped in, his face grim, nothing like his usual politeness. He glanced at Wu Hongwei and turned to Li Yang, his voice growing exceedingly cold, "Kid, it's you, isn't it?"
Li Yang felt a stir in his heart, and when Wu Hongwei saw it was Manager Dong, he hurried over, "Manager Dong, what's the matter? Why do you need my friend?"
He also had a bad feeling, especially after recalling that Li Yang had mentioned hitting a woman.
"Young Master Wu, I'm afraid you can't handle this," Manager Dong said just as several more people walked in.
The leader, radiating an authoritative aura, was accompanied by a woman — the very woman Li Yang had hit!
"Is it him?" Yang Zicheng glanced at the woman beside him.
"It's him!" Hatred and malice flickered in the woman's eyes.
At that moment, Li Yang felt as though he had plunged into an abyss. He knew he was in deep trouble now and, not bothering with anything else, immediately turned to Wu Hongwei, pleading with his eyes for help.
Wu Hongwei, naturally aware of the trouble, suspected they had offended someone significant, otherwise Manager Dong would not have come personally.
He hastily put on a smile and said, "Manager Dong, this is a misunderstanding. My friend was drunk. Come, come, let me apologize to this lady on his behalf—"
"You can't handle this."
Before Wu Hongwei could finish, Yang Zicheng had already spoken. Squinting his eyes and scanning the room, his gaze settled on Wu Hongwei as he said faintly, "No one dares to hit a woman of Yang Zicheng!"
Upon hearing the name Yang Zicheng, Wu Hongwei's face instantly changed!
Not just him, but Li Yang and the others also paled. Who didn't know who Yang Zicheng was? The big shot who controlled both the underworld and the upperworld they had just been discussing on the road — that was Yang Zicheng!
Li Yang had hit his woman?
Su Han, however, remained calm. Yang Zicheng? He had never heard of him, but seeing the expression on everyone else's face, Su Han also knew they were in big trouble.
Li Yang had hit his woman? Now they were really doomed!
Wu Hongwei managed a strained smile, aware of the dilemma. He had no clout to appeal to Yang Zicheng, but since he had brought Li Yang along, he couldn't just ignore the situation. He chuckled and quickly poured a glass of wine, approaching Yang Zicheng with deference, cautiously saying, "Boss Yang, this was my friend's mistake. I apologize on his behalf to you and your wife. Could you possibly show some leniency—"
"Leniency?" Yang Zicheng sneered, "You think you can ask for leniency from me?"
Yang Zicheng's words terrorized Wu Hongwei, making him tremble as if nailed to the spot, daring not utter another word, knowing that even mentioning his father wouldn't make Yang Zicheng think twice.
"However, I might consider showing some respect for your father," Yang Zicheng glanced around and suddenly spoke, "Since your friend hit my woman, I will thoroughly humiliate the women here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuman and the others turned pale.
