Shen Lu sneered.
The other party's unwillingness to reveal their name made things even more suspicious.
Jiang Yi scanned the lobby and soon spotted Changsun Hao standing by the door leading to the backyard.
Changsun Hao was currently glaring at them with a gloomy expression, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
Jiang Yi immediately retracted his gaze, pretending not to have seen anything.
"It's Changsun Hao!" Jiang Yi said to Shen Lu.
"Why is Changsun Hao looking for me? I have no dealings with him," Shen Lu asked, feeling a bit confused.
"Perhaps Changsun Hao can't find trouble with me, so he's targeting people around me, and you're the best choice," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"Should I go or not?" Shen Lu asked.
"Of course you should!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "Go see what Changsun Hao wants. If he dares to make a move, you don't need to hold back. Teach him a good lesson, just don't kill him."
"Alright!"
Shen Lu also smiled.
"Be a little ruthless, give him more of a lesson," Jiang Yi said.
"No problem!"
After speaking, Shen Lu got up and headed towards the hotel's backyard.
Jiang Yi didn't follow, remaining in the lobby to continue drinking his red wine.
Shen Lu was skilled, and she could handle it alone.
At this moment, Changsun Hao was waiting in the backyard with over a dozen bodyguards.
He had already cleared everyone else out of the backyard beforehand.
"When Shen Lu arrives, you all give her a good beating. I can't deal with Jiang Yi, but can I not deal with her?" Changsun Hao grunted.
"Yes!"
The bodyguards responded in unison.
Changsun Hao held no grudge against Shen Lu; he merely wanted to vent his anger.
Just now, because of Jiang Yi, he had been slapped twice by Changsun Xiong, who also threatened to prevent him from entering the business association and from becoming the next chairman.
This was unbearable for Changsun Hao.
In his eyes, his future was ruined by Jiang Yi.
In truth, it was all his own doing.
If he hadn't deliberately sought trouble with Jiang Yi, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Just then, Shen Lu walked into the backyard.
Upon seeing Shen Lu arrive, Changsun Hao snorted coldly.
"Young Master Changsun, did you need something from me?" Shen Lu asked Changsun Hao.
"Of course I do."
Changsun Hao's gaze swept over Shen Lu as he spoke, "Miss Shen, you're so beautiful, how can you be willing to be Jiang Yi's mistress? I truly can't understand."
"Young Master Changsun, please watch your words," Shen Lu said coldly.
"Since you're already Jiang Yi's mistress, are you afraid of what people say?"
Changsun Hao said, "Let me tell you the truth! I asked you to come to the backyard to teach you a lesson. Jiang Yi offended me, so I plan to teach you a lesson to vent my anger. You can't blame me; you can only blame yourself for being Jiang Yi's mistress..."
Shen Lu remained silent, her brows furrowing slightly.
Shen Lu couldn't understand why, when Changsun Hao called her Jiang Yi's mistress, she didn't get angry but felt a slight sense of joy.
Shen Lu dared not think further.
She knew very well that she and Jiang Yi had no future.
Being able to stay by Jiang Yi's side was already quite good!
"Why aren't you speaking? Scared now!"
Changsun Hao said coldly, "It's no use being scared. Since you're Jiang Yi's lover, I have to teach you a lesson. Don't worry, I won't kill you, I'll just cripple you!"
"I never thought the esteemed Young Master Changsun would be so despicable!"
Shen Lu said, "You're a grown man, and you can't deal with Jiang Yi, so you're picking on me, a weak woman. Is this all you've got?"
"If word of this gets out, people will likely laugh their heads off. If Miss Ye knew about this, what do you think she would think?"
Hearing this, Changsun Hao froze!
Doing something like this was indeed despicable and would be scorned by everyone.
"Young Master Changsun, are we still going to fight?" a bodyguard asked.
"Of course we are!"
Changsun Hao recovered and said, "Although it's a bit despicable, there's no need to care about such things when dealing with someone from Jiang Yi's circle. Besides, once you cripple this woman and make her mute, who will know about this?"
The bodyguards showed a hint of helplessness upon hearing this.
Even they felt Changsun Hao's actions were too despicable.
"Attack!"
Changsun Hao said, "I'll reward you handsomely afterward, give each of you a hundred thousand..."
Upon hearing the large sum of money, the bodyguards felt a surge of excitement.
One hundred thousand yuan was equivalent to several months of their salary; they wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
"Let me do it!"
A burly man stepped forward.
"She's just a woman, and she looks so frail. I can cripple her by myself..."
"Mhm!"
Changsun Hao nodded.
The burly man walked step by step towards Shen Lu.
Little did they know, several cameras were pointed their way.
Dongfang Mei sat in the monitoring room, watching the scene with keen interest.
The hotel manager was also by her side.
"Young Lady, Changsun Hao is too despicable, bringing so many bodyguards to attack a weak woman like Shen Lu. I've never seen such a person; it's truly hateful!"
The hotel manager said indignantly, "Shouldn't we quickly inform Mr. Jiang? Otherwise, Miss Shen will suffer!"
"No need!" Dongfang Mei said with a slight smile.
"Why?"
The hotel manager asked, puzzled.
"Shen Lu is no ordinary person. Let alone those dozen or so bodyguards, even if twenty or thirty more came, they wouldn't be Shen Lu's match. Changsun Hao picked the wrong person to mess with; he's going to pay dearly!"
Dongfang Mei said with a playful expression, "If Shen Lu were a truly weak woman, I certainly wouldn't stand by and do nothing."
The hotel manager's heart began to fill with curiosity at these words.
He didn't believe Shen Lu possessed such great abilities.
The hotel manager glanced at the monitoring video and was stunned by what he saw.
In less than a minute, Shen Lu had taken down all the bodyguards.
The scene was like watching a movie.
Even the security guard in charge of monitoring was dumbfounded.
Soon, Shen Lu moved to deal with Changsun Hao.
In a short while, Changsun Hao's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he let out pig-like screams.
Afterward, Shen Lu clapped her hands and left the backyard.
The farce ended just like that.
The hotel manager felt an indescribable sense of catharsis.
"People like Changsun Hao deserve to be taught a lesson. It's so satisfying. It's a shame Miss Shen didn't cripple Changsun Hao."
Such a scene, where so many men bullied a weak woman, would make anyone furious.
