Qin Yi's face darkened at everyone's accusations and curses.
He had intervened and driven away the man in the vest and his lackeys, essentially saving them. Instead of gratitude, he was now being verbally attacked!
Song Yang and the others, who had cowered in the background and dared not utter a sound when the man in the vest first entered, were now jumping out and furiously condemning him!
Then there were Zeng Qiuxiang, Huang Jing, and Wei Yongfu.
Especially Zeng Qiuxiang, he had attacked the man in the vest precisely for her sake. Yet now she was joining everyone else in blaming him...
To be perfectly honest, if she weren't Luo Hao's girlfriend, he genuinely felt like calling the man in the vest back and letting him do whatever he pleased with her!
While everyone was still berating Qin Yi, the man in the vest returned with a squad of security guards from the bar "Flowing Gold Years."
The security guards of "Flowing Gold Years" bar, though called security, were essentially thugs under Xiong Zhentian's command.
Each of them was burly and had a menacing look.
As the man in the vest and his entourage entered, especially seeing them armed, Xu Honggang and the others turned pale and began to tremble.
So, as they entered, before the man in the vest could say anything, Song Yang, Wei Yongfu, and the others nervously spoke up first.
"Brother, it has nothing to do with us!"
"He was the one who hit you just now. You can do whatever you want to him, just let us go!"
"Right, right, Brother, I was rude just now. You hit me to vent, so please let us go now!"
"..."
To save themselves, these few directly betrayed Qin Yi, pushing all the blame onto him.
While speaking, they kept signaling to Xu Honggang.
Sensing their signals, Xu Honggang said, "That's right, Brother. It was Qin Yi who hit you just now. It has nothing to do with us!"
"I am the manager of Mi Lai Technology Company, under Han's Group. As long as you let us go, I can give you money..."
Before he could finish, a security guard who had followed the man in the vest entered, caught sight of Qin Yi, and his expression changed drastically.
He leaned close to the man in the vest's ear and whispered.
This security guard was one of the men who had been with Jiang Bao last night. He had not only witnessed Leng Feng's respectful attitude towards Qin Yi at the bar but had also later followed Leng Feng and Jiang Bao to the Tang family villa to handle matters there.
Therefore, when he whispered to the man in the vest, he wasn't talking about anything else but what had happened last night!
The man in the vest, who had entered full of rage and ready to teach Qin Yi a lesson, froze upon hearing the security guard's words.
His gaze towards Qin Yi became incredibly complex and apprehensive.
Suddenly, his expression changed as if he had put on a different face, and he said with a chuckle, "Uh, there's been a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding! It was my fault earlier, offending all of you..."
"To express my apologies, all your consumption tonight in the private room is on me!"
"If there's nothing else, we won't disturb you any further and will be leaving now!"
As he spoke, his gaze flickered towards Qin Yi, and seeing that the latter remained silent, he immediately called his guards and his few subordinates and quickly exited the private room.
Outside, he even personally closed the door.
"???"
"!!!"
"..."
Inside the private room, Xu Honggang and the others were completely dumbfounded.
The man in the vest and the bar security guards had entered with such a menacing aura, and now they were leaving without doing anything?
Most importantly, it was their attitude as they left...
After a moment, Song Yang suddenly said to Xu Honggang, "Honggang, you're amazing! You scared him off just by stating your identity!"
Upon hearing this, the others reacted.
The man in the vest's change in attitude had occurred right after Xu Honggang revealed his identity!
Instantly, the others began flattering and praising Xu Honggang.
"Honggang is mighty! If I had known, you should have revealed you were the manager of Mi Lai Technology from the start!"
"Haha, did you guys notice just now? The man in the vest's face changed the moment he heard Honggang was the manager of Mi Lai!"
"Honggang, you're simply too cool!"
"Luckily we had Honggang with us tonight, otherwise, we would have been ruined by some people!"
"Exactly..."
"Honggang, thank you!"
Zeng Qiuxiang broke free from Luo Hao's hand that was holding hers and walked up to Xu Honggang to thank him.
Huang Jing, disregarding the many people present, and ignoring the social norms about physical contact between men and women, grabbed Xu Honggang's arm and thanked him, "Honggang, if it weren't for you tonight, I don't know what would have happened to me. Thank you!"
Initially, Xu Honggang himself was also confused about why the man in the vest had suddenly retreated.
But hearing everyone's words, he didn't think much more about it and said with a smile, "Heh heh, I actually wanted to keep a low profile and not reveal my identity, but for your sake, I had to speak up!"
"Alas, sometimes, it's hard to stay low-key!"
He even sighed deliberately and shook his head.
This immediately drew more praise and flattery from everyone.
"Wow, you're so humble, Honggang. If I were a manager at Han's Group, I'd be walking on air!"
"Honggang, you're too discreet!"
"..."
Qin Yi, listening from the side, almost burst out laughing.
The way he was taking credit, the way he was claiming the achievement, Qin Yi felt like giving him a thumbs-up!
Moreover, Xu Honggang was actually a deputy manager of a small subsidiary of Han's Group, but as he spoke, he had already become a manager of Han's Group. If he continued, Qin Yi suspected Han's Group would soon belong to Xu Honggang!
Song Yang noticed Qin Yi smiling and immediately said, "Qin Yi, what are you laughing at! Why aren't you coming over to thank Honggang quickly?"
"If it weren't for Honggang tonight, you probably would have been beaten to death by now!"
"Honggang saved your life, and you don't even say a word of thanks. What kind of person are you?"
"Exactly..."
Everyone suddenly turned their attacks and insults back to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed Song Yang's throat with one hand.
"Cough, cough, cough, Qin Yi, wh-what do you want to do..."
Song Yang's breathing tightened, and his face turned red.
He struggled, trying to pry Qin Yi's hand away, but it was impossible.
"Qin Yi, what are you doing???"
"Qin Yi, have you gone mad!"
"Qin Yi, let go of Song Yang..."
Xu Honggang and the others cried out in alarm, shouting at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi ignored them, applying a little more force to his arm, and lifted Song Yang off the ground.
"Try cursing one more time with that mouth of yours!"
"I... cough, cough, cough..."
Song Yang's face was as red as if it had been smeared with tomato sauce, and he couldn't speak.
"Qin Yi, quickly let go of Song Yang, you're going to choke him to death!" Luo Hao also urged him anxiously.
If Qin Yi choked Song Yang to death, it would be over. He had just gotten out and would have to go back in!
Qin Yi still didn't release Song Yang. Instead, he turned to Wei Yongfu, Huang Jing, and the others and said, "You are fools, I don't blame you. But if your mouths remain unclean and spew filth, don't blame me for showing no mercy and being impolite to you!"
With that, he flicked his hand and threw Song Yang onto the ground two to three meters away.
