Gao Fei and Lu Hao had just entered the VIP channel when a disheveled woman ran towards them and collided head-on with Lu Hao.
"Ouch!" Lu Hao cried out in pain, "Are you blind?!"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." the woman quickly apologized. She had only been focused on escaping and hadn't noticed Lu Hao and Gao Fei entering. By the ti she realized sothing was wrong, it was too late; she had already crashed into Lu Hao.
"Eh? Aren't you ng Xiaoyu?" Lu Hao looked surprised. "How did you end up in such a ss?"
The woman with her hair in disarray was indeed ng Xiaoyu. What had happened to her? How did she beco so disheveled? What had occurred?
"Run, I'd like to see where you can run to!"
Just then, a group of people ran over from the opposite direction.
ng Xiaoyu's face changed, and she lifted her foot to run, but after only taking a few steps, she tripped over a trash can... That slight delay allowed the group to catch up and surround her.
"Run now! Go on, run!"
"Motherf*cker! You actually dared to slap Young Master Hu's face, you must be tired of living."
"Take this bitch away. Tonight, let Young Master Hu properly 'educate' her."
...
"You can't do this!" ng Xiaoyu curled up, her face full of fear. "This is against the law, I can sue you!"
"Sue us?" The n burst out laughing. "You think a court will take your case? Just try it and see. ng Xiaoyu, you can't escape today. Just obediently co back with us to serve Young Master Hu. If you please him, he'll just need to utter a word, and you'll beco a top star in the entertainnt industry."
"I won't go! Even if you beat to death, I won't go," ng Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously.
"You refused a toast only to drink a forfeit! Take her away!" The n stepped forward, reaching out to grab ng Xiaoyu.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing, and why are you taking ng Xiaoyu away? What did she do to offend you?" Lu Hao suddenly stepped forward, shielding ng Xiaoyu with his body. It's not that he pitied ng Xiaoyu; he just couldn't stand the way these n were behaving—it was too arrogant.
"Mind your own business!" The n glared fiercely at Lu Hao. "If you don't want to die, then scram!"
"Big talk," Lu Hao laughed, but it was a cold laugh. "You've got guts to show off in front of ."
Lu Hao was a tyrant in the capital city, and he was used to bullying others, not the other way around.
"Motherf*cker, beat him up!" The n were also hot-tempered, raising their fists to hit Lu Hao.
"Stop!"
A man in a suit ca walking from the other end of the VIP channel.
"Young Master Hu, why are you out here?" The n hurried to greet him, their attitude very respectful. "We've caught ng Xiaoyu and were about to bring her to you. We just encountered so trouble on the way and were about to teach him a lesson..."
"Shut your damn mouths!" The man referred to as Young Master Hu said. "Do you know who he is? He's the renowned Lu Hao! You can't afford to offend him!"
"Lu Hao? The young master of the Lu Family?" The n's faces changed color; clearly, they had heard of Lu Hao's reputation.
"Apologize to Lu Hao right now," Young Master Hu ordered sternly.
"Oh oh oh... Lu Hao, we're sorry. We didn't recognize you just now and offended you. Please forgive us," the n were quick to adapt, turning around to apologize to Lu Hao with great politeness.
"Hmph!" Lu Hao snorted, "You think you can get away with just an apology after insulting ?"
"Lu Hao, don't stoop to their level," Young Master Hu said. "They ca from out of town and didn't know you, so they spoke out of line... Just let it go this one ti and forgive them." Each social circle has its own rules, and the circle of young masters is no exception—it has even more. Insubordination is a major taboo in their circle.
For a lesser-known young master to provoke one with a powerful background will result in severe punishnt.
Now, Young Master Hu's friends from out of town had broken this rule. If Lu Hao wouldn't let go, the situation would beco difficult. Worse still, everyone could end up at odds.
"How about this: tomorrow I'll arrange a banquet at the best hotel to apologize to Lu Hao," Young Master Hu proposed. "If Lu Hao has any other conditions, he may raise them too. As long as they aren't too excessive, I will agree."
In terms of identity, background, and status, Young Master Hu and Lu Hao were almost equal. In other words, within the circle of young masters, they were of the sa level, and neither could do much about the other.
Lu Hao curled his lip, "Fine, out of respect for Young Master Hu, I'll let them off this ti. But I don't want to see them again in the future."
"Aren't you going to thank Young Master Lu right now?" Brother Hu glared at a few n.
The n hurriedly thanked Lu Hao, feeling aggrieved in their hearts. Of course, they did! But what could they do? Their backgrounds were inferior to Lu Hao's, and if they wanted to stay safe and avoid causing trouble for their families' elders, they had to keep their heads down.
With Brother Hu's diation, the conflict was thus resolved.
"Brother Hu, what's going on here?" Lu Hao gestured towards ng Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the ground.
"It's a bit embarrassing to talk about." Brother Hu's face showed a hint of embarrassnt, "I originally wanted to invite ng Xiaoyu for so late-night snacks, but she flat-out refused . In the end... let's not talk about it; it's too humiliating to ntion.
Young Master Lu, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now, and I'll treat you to a al tomorrow," he said, then waved his hand at the n standing nearby, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take ng Xiaoyu away." In the eyes of the ordinary people, ng Xiaoyu was a high and mighty star, but in Brother Hu's eyes, she was just an actress, a plaything for him to toy with.
With just a word from him, he could make ng Xiaoyu's life unbearable.
A few n stepped forward and grabbed ng Xiaoyu to take her away.
"Let go of , let go of ..." ng Xiaoyu struggled fiercely, but it was in vain; no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from the strong grasp of the n, "Please, save ...
I beg of you..." ng Xiaoyu turned her head, pleading for Lu Hao's help, having witnessed the earlier scene and knowing that Lu Hao was of the sa "level" as Brother Hu, and that if Lu Hao spoke up, Brother Hu wouldn't dare to trouble her...
Honestly, ng Xiaoyu's tear-stained face looked quite pitiful, and Lu Hao did feel a surge of compassion, but he didn't step forward to stop it because he had his own considerations. Offending Brother Hu over ng Xiaoyu just wasn't worth it.
Lu Hao turned his head away, out of sight, out of mind.
ng Xiaoyu despaired, utterly despaired. Tears flowed uncontrollably, her teeth biting down on her lips so hard they drew fresh blood... She was well aware of what would await her in Brother Hu's hands—losing her chastity, reduced to Brother Hu's plaything, never to hold her head high again... Her future life would be filled with tragedy and darkness...
ng Xiaoyu thought of death, sought death as a ans of escape...
"Let ng Xiaoyu go," Gao Fei, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up.
"Huh?" Lu Hao was stunned; he hadn't expected Gao Fei to intervene.
"What did you say?" Brother Hu frowned.
"Didn't understand? Then I'll say it again," Gao Fei stated calmly, "Let ng Xiaoyu go, stop troubling her. You understand now, don't you?" Who was Gao Fei? He was always one to detest evil, and he couldn't stand idly by as a group of n bullied a helpless woman in his presence.
It could only be said that Brother Hu and his crew were unlucky to run into Gao Fei.
"Who is this guy?" Brother Hu turned to look at Lu Hao. Gao Fei standing alongside Lu Hao suggested that Lu Hao must know Gao Fei.
"He is my Brother Fei," Lu Hao uttered a sentence that shocked Brother Hu.
Brother Fei? Brother? The person Lu Hao willingly called "Brother"… had to be soone extraordinary! Brother Hu's eyes sparkled with shrewdness, but the problem was... this man in front of him was too unfamiliar, so much so that he didn't have the slightest recollection of him.
"Since Brother Fei has spoken, just let ng Xiaoyu go," Lu Hao said, "Consider it a favor I owe you; I'll repay it another day." Gao Fei was a benefactor to the Lu Family, and of course, Lu Hao would stand by Gao Fei.
"Young Master Lu, you're putting in a difficult position," Brother Hu furrowed his brow.
"It's just a woman, isn't it? Is it worth it?" Lu Hao queried, "Given your status and position, Brother Hu, what woman could you not have? Do this favor and let ng Xiaoyu go."
Brother Hu glanced at Lu Hao, then at Gao Fei, and finally settled his gaze on ng Xiaoyu; his expression darkened and brightened alternately. It was evident that he too was struggling internally, unsure of what to choose. He had genuinely taken a fancy to ng Xiaoyu—her pure face, her perfect figure, her defiance... There were too few won who could truly move Brother Hu's heart...
At this mont, ng Xiaoyu's nerves were stretched tight. She had already given up hope, resigned to her fate, but suddenly... there was a reversal in the situation, and she might be saved. With this thought, ng Xiaoyu glanced at Gao Fei, her eyes full of gratitude. She silently swore to herself that once she was out of this predicant, she would find a way to thank Gao Fei properly.
Ti ticked away, second by second.
The atmosphere at the scene began to grow tense.
"I'm sorry," Brother Hu pondered for a mont before finally making his decision, "I must have this woman, ng Xiaoyu."
"Niu Hu!" Lu Hao's expression darkened, "Are you trying to pick a fight with ?" His na is Niu Hu? That's quite a unique na.
Niu Hu twisted his mouth, "It's you who's picking a fight with ! ng Xiaoyu is the woman I have set my sights on, and you have no right to interfere."
"What if I insist on intervening?"
"Do you want to tear our relationship apart over an actress? Is it worth it?"
"Niu Hu, I'm asking you one last ti, are you going to let her go or not!"
"No!" Niu Hu spoke with firm conviction, "Definitely not letting go!"
"You..." Lu Hao was about to lose his temper when he was stopped by Gao Fei.
