Inside the room.
The crowd was twisting their bodies and cheering to the rhythm of the music.
Lu Zuiqing pushed the door open and, from two meters away from Chu Fan, suddenly bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
"Big Brother, I know I was wrong."
"Big Brother, please, spare me!"
The shock that defied his understanding sent Lu Zuiqing back to square one, tears welling up in his eyes.
What?
Guan Ziqi and others turned their heads to look, their expressions astonished.
Lu Zuiqing, kneeling before Chu Fan?
The music paused, and the crowd gathered around.
"Old Lu, what are you doing, drunk?"
"You are one of the top ten outstanding youths of our Shanhai City, why are you kneeling to this kid?"
"That's right, Brother Lu, if this scene gets out, how will you manage in the future?"
...
At this moment, everyone believed Lu Zuiqing was drunk and couldn't tell who was who, which led him to commit such an outrageous act.
In their eyes, Lu Zuiqing was already a very successful person and could not do anything that would damage his reputation.
Lu Zuiqing seemed not to hear anyone's questions, his eyes fixed on Chu Fan.
With his future at stake, he had no intention of explaining.
At this moment, he only wished for Chu Fan's forgiveness.
Guan Ziqi's eyes flickered, she vaguely guessed that Lu Zuiqing had probably provoked Chu Fan and was dealt with.
She didn't care about that.
She never had a good impression of Lu Zuiqing, so interjecting and annoying Chu Fan would be a loss.
"Big Brother, please, I really know I was wrong!"
"Earlier, I was blind and spoke nonsense while drunk. I hope Big Brother won't take it to heart."
"As long as Big Brother spares me, I'll do anything!"
Hearing these words, the crowd was moved, finding it hard to imagine what had happened just now.
They found it even harder to understand why Chu Fan, who seemed ordinary, could make Lu Zuiqing kneel and beg for mercy.
"What's said cannot be unsaid."
"I already gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Is it meaningful to do this now?"
"If you're a man, stand up and face it!"
Bang, bang, bang...
To appease Chu Fan, Lu Zuiqing kowtowed forcefully, trying to gain sympathy.
Blood trickled from his forehead, but Chu Fan remained unmoved.
Beside them, Wang Ling, a girl who had a good impression of Lu Zuiqing, couldn't stand it anymore.
She glared at Chu Fan and complained, "You, Brother Lu has already knelt and kowtowed to you, why is your heart like stone, unmoved?"
Chu Fan looked up, "Do you want to meddle too?"
His voice was extremely cold.
Guan Ziqi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want her girlfriend to be blinded by a moment of kindness, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Ling's arm.
"Xiao Ling, come, let's go to the restroom."
Wang Ling refused to leave and was forcefully pulled away by Guan Ziqi.
From Chu Fan's words earlier, she knew that Lu Zuiqing was courting death himself.
He provoked an adult, and that adult had given him a chance.
But he didn't cherish it, which led to this scene.
Seeing Guan Ziqi's actions, the surrounding people tacitly swallowed the words that had risen to their throats.
Chu Fan was brought by Guan Ziqi.
Lu Zuiqing was Guan Ziqi's friend.
If something like this happened, normally Guan Ziqi should have mediated.
But Guan Ziqi chose to ignore it, clearly not wanting to get involved, which showed she knew that even if she spoke, she couldn't help Lu Zuiqing.
Little did they know, it wasn't that Guan Ziqi didn't want to, but she dared not.
Who dared to stop a demon god from acting?
Forcibly dragging Wang Ling away was to prevent her from being implicated.
"Big Brother, please, I really know I was wrong!"
"Big Brother, please!"
Lu Zuiqing's voice was weak, making himself almost faint.
Chu Fan suddenly stood up and left the room calmly.
The crowd quickly helped Lu Zuiqing up and asked about the previous events.
At this moment, their concern was not for Lu Zuiqing's life or death, but only for what he had done to provoke Chu Fan and what retaliation he had suffered.
In the restroom.
Guan Ziqi explained in a few words that she was powerless in this matter and reminded Wang Ling not to speak carelessly, otherwise, it would not only implicate her but also her family.
Wang Ling's legs felt weak, "Re-really?"
"Sister Ziqi, didn't you invite him? Why did you..."
Guan Ziqi smiled helplessly, "I can't invite him. I had to ask my dad to make an effort to invite him."
Needed Guan old man to personally invite him?
Wang Ling couldn't figure out Chu Fan's background, but she knew that in all of Shanhai City, there seemed to be no one who needed Guan Hongyun to invite him to act.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on her back, realizing that her previous actions had almost brought disaster to her family.
At the same time, she understood why Lu Zuiqing was kneeling and begging.
When Chu Fan returned to the room, Lu Zuiqing had already been sent to the hospital.
Before entering, the crowd was still talking.
After he entered, the room instantly fell silent.
Chu Fan seemed to see none of this.
Guan Ziqi brought Wang Ling back and saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy. She smiled and said, "What happened earlier is in the past, let's continue to have fun."
After what happened, everyone had lost the mood to continue having fun.
Chu Fan knew that the atmosphere was like this because he was present.
He stood up and said to Guan Ziqi, "You guys play, I have something to do and will be leaving first!"
Guan Ziqi wanted to speak but stopped.
Of everyone in the room, Chu Fan was the last person she wanted to leave, but she dared not stop him because of his status.
Whoosh...
Just as Chu Fan turned and took a step, the door was pushed open from the outside.
More than ten people rushed in quickly.
"Sister Ziqi, when you have a party, you don't invite me. Don't you put me, your brother, in your eyes?"
As the husky voice echoed, a scarred young man walked in.
Seeing the newcomer, Guan Ziqi's expression changed slightly.
However, upon catching sight of Chu Fan, her nervousness disappeared.
The rest of the people, upon seeing the newcomer, involuntarily felt fear in their eyes.
Cao Wei, the second young master of a martial arts family.
He had learned ancient martial arts techniques since childhood and had won several competition championships. He was very arrogant, but he had the capital to be arrogant. It was rumored that his true strength was comparable to the War King, who was second only to the War Emperor in the War Emperor Hall.
The girls in Shanhai City he targeted rarely escaped his grasp.
He had unexpectedly set his sights on Guan Ziqi this time.
The fact that he dared to barge in directly showed that he did not put Guan Hongyun in his eyes.
Cao Wei walked up to the crowd and, after surveying the scene, said, "What are you all standing around for? Let's have fun!"
The crowd had ugly expressions, and no one moved.
With more than ten bodyguards watching menacingly, it was impossible to have fun.
Cao Wei walked to the table, poured two glasses of wine for himself, and sent one to Guan Ziqi.
"Sister Ziqi, I'll toast you with this glass. Consider it my uninvited presence and my disturbance to your fun."
Guan Ziqi did not reach for the glass. Instead, she moved closer to Chu Fan.
Cao Wei's eyes narrowed, and his expression showed annoyance.
In Shanhai City, no one had ever dared to refuse his toast.
However, Cao Wei did not immediately lose his temper. Instead, he said calmly, "Sister Ziqi, are you really not giving me face?"
"If you don't give me face like this, my brothers here will be unhappy. If they do something to hurt your friends later, I won't be able to control them!"
His words were a veiled threat, not hidden at all.
With the "adult" absent, Guan Ziqi felt she had no choice but to accept the drink.
But with the "adult" present,
She was not worried.
