At this moment, the private room door was pushed open, and Lu Fan barged in, his eyes filled with rage.
"Who are you to barge in here?" Manager Zhao cursed, "Get out!"
"She is my woman!" Lu Fan's voice was cold. "You have quite the nerve, daring to touch my woman?"
Lin Ke's heart trembled. Coupled with her slight intoxication, her face flushed even more. Lu Fan's domineering declaration that she was his woman made her heart pound.
"What do you think you are?" The other two men surrounded him. "You ruin our good time, and you'll pay for it."
Lu Fan sneered, "I don't care which company you're from. For doing such sordid things, I will make you pay the price!"
The men said nothing more and walked towards Lu Fan. They were well-practiced in such matters and would not tolerate Lu Fan interfering.
Unfortunately, the moment they got close to Lu Fan, he kicked them flying, giving them no chance to react.
Manager Zhao looked surprised and was about to flee when Lu Fan delivered a swift kick, sending him sprawling next to the sofa. He clutched his groin and howled in pain, seemingly incapacitated.
Lu Fan held Lin Ke in his arms, his gaze burning with anger. The red mark on Lin Ke's face pained him deeply. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Lin Ke quickly shook her head and helped Xiao Qi to her feet.
"Who are you? You have the audacity to attack us with such force!" Manager Zhao shouted. "If you have the guts, leave your name."
"Do you think you're worthy of knowing who I am?" Lu Fan sneered. "You probably won't have the chance."
"What do you mean by that? Are you planning to deal with us?" Manager Zhao said coldly.
Just then, over a dozen figures arrived outside Tianyi Tower and entered the private room. The leading man bowed to Ye Tian, "Young Master! What has happened?"
"You've arrived at the perfect time. Leave these people to me," Lu Fan nodded. "From now on, in Qingzhou, and even in Jiangnan, I don't want to see them again!"
"Don't worry, Young Master. We won't disappoint you!"
Ah Hai quickly cupped his fist. He had only just learned of the trouble in the private room and had rushed over.
Seeing so many people, Manager Zhao began to tremble with fear. "Little brother, I was just joking around. Please don't take it to heart."
"Since it was a joke, you must pay the price for it."
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "No one will foot the bill for your actions."
Manager Zhao's face turned ashen. They had been doing this for years without incident, and today they had suffered a major downfall.
After they were taken away, Lin Ke looked at Lu Fan. "Brother Lu Fan, how did you get here?"
"Two girls came to attend a banquet. You're quite brave," Lu Fan glanced at them. "If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been in real danger."
"Yes, yes, it was so dangerous just now!" Xiao Qi nodded eagerly, her admiration for Lu Fan growing immensely. "If you hadn't appeared, we would have been in big trouble."
"It's good that you know!" Lu Fan gave them a stern look. "I have other matters to attend to. You've both sobered up quite a bit, so hurry back!"
"Brother Lu Fan, aren't you coming back with me?" Lin Ke asked.
"I still have some things to do. I might be back late tonight," Lu Fan's expression was serious.
Lin Ke didn't press the issue and left Tianyi Tower.
On the top floor of Tianyi Tower, Manager Zhao and his companions were tied up and kneeling on the ground, their eyes filled with fear. "Sirs, I know I made a mistake. Please be merciful and spare my life. I'm willing to pay any amount of money!"
"Who do you think you are?" Ah Hai said coldly. "You dare to have designs on our Young Master's woman? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Manager Zhao slapped himself repeatedly.
"Big brother, since they won't let us off anyway, why grovel like this?" one of the other men said. "Can they kill us?"
"You're right!" Ah Hai sneered. "And very right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them felt a killing intent.
They were greatly alarmed, but then a club struck them, and they were knocked unconscious.
"Brother Hai, what should we do with these people?" a man asked.
"Didn't our Young Master say he didn't want to see them in Qingzhou?" Ah Hai said coldly. "Throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
The others exchanged glances and, without hesitation, dragged the three away.
Meanwhile, Shen Wei, witnessing the scene, trembled uncontrollably. He had been beaten badly by Ah Hai and was now bound by ropes.
A while later, Lu Fan arrived on the rooftop and looked at Ah Hai. "Ever since I left Tianquan Mountain Villa, you've been tailing me. Did Butler Fu arrange this?"
"Young Master is indeed formidable, knowing of my presence all along." Ah Hai chuckled awkwardly. "Master Fu was worried about your safety and specifically sent me to protect you in secret."
At this point, Ah Hai looked at Shen Wei beside him. "When the Young Master almost had a car accident on the bridge last time, this man was the mastermind!"
"Spare me, Brother Lu, spare me!" Shen Wei quickly kowtowed. He used to think Lu Fan was just a country bumpkin, but now he realized his perspective had been too narrow.
"Spare you?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "When you schemed against me, did you ever consider my life?"
Shen Wei's heart sank. Lu Fan's words were enough to show that he had no intention of letting him go.
"Young Master, how should we deal with this person?"
Ah Hai asked, "It only takes a word from you."
"Throw him to the fish!"
Lu Fan said indifferently. Shen Wei staggered, utterly terrified, and fainted.
After Shen Wei was taken away, Ah Hai cupped his fist. "Young Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
"Are you really leaving, or is this a pretense?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "I don't like being constantly followed."
"This..." Ah Hai gave a wry smile. "This is Master Fu's instruction. I don't want to either..."
"Go back and tell Master Fu that I am not as weak as he imagines, and I will never give up on avenging our family," Lu Fan's voice was firm.
Ah Hai quickly cupped his fist, his expression turning tense.
After Lu Fan left, sweat broke out on his palms. He was a skilled individual, yet for some reason, he felt immense pressure in Lu Fan's presence.
If it weren't for Master Fu's arrangements, he wouldn't have stayed to guard Lu Fan. But the reality was that Lu Fan's strength far surpassed his own, and he didn't need his covert protection. Su Dan Novel Network
Upon returning to Tianquan Mountain Villa, Ah Hai reported the events. Butler Fu beamed with joy. "It seems the Young Master has encountered many opportunities. I underestimated him. If this is the case, the Lu family's deep-seated hatred can certainly be avenged."
