Chapter 265: Paying the Price

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Paying the Price

The floor was covered in the filth Han Xiaomei had thrown up. The group of rich young masters yelped and jumped back.

Nearby, however, the group of internet celebrities from around Jin City went wild, desperately swarming over.

"Young Master Liang, can we get a picture together?"

"Young Master Chen! Young Master Chen is here too! The most handsome second-generation heir in all of Jin City!"

"Over here, over here! Look this way, big brothers! Do you like my dress?"

To chase clout, this gang of internet celebrities had resorted to any means necessary.

It couldn’t be helped. An appearance by Jin City’s Three Young Masters all at once was just too rare an opportunity.

Not only were they rich, but they were also handsome.

These three were practically characters straight out of an idol drama.

But Young Master Liang, Young Master Chen, and Young Master Yang all had stern expressions. "What’s going on? We wanted to be low-key! Where are the bodyguards? Get these annoying women out of here right now!"

It wasn’t that they disliked young, beautiful women; they just felt these internet celebrities were of too low a class.

Especially since many stars and socialites were attending this banquet at Brocade Mansion.

And the three great young masters of Jin City had only one target!

To catch a glimpse of the famed Imperial Capital socialite, Cang Bingyan!

The internet celebrities were driven away screaming. Just then, security personnel appeared, pointing at the unconscious Han Xiaomei on the floor. "Young Master Liang, what happened here? This sort of thing isn’t allowed at today’s banquet."

Young Master Liang glanced over and scoffed, "She drank too much, that’s all. She’s just a chick who’s here to be a drinking companion. We already paid. Get her out of here before she ruins the carpet!"

Han Yuyu, overcome with grief and fury, hugged her sister and shouted, "Xiaomei... she’s still a student! If-if anything happens to her, I’ll never, ever let you get away with this!"

At that moment, Qin Tianxuan walked out from behind a screen, a wine bottle in his hand.

Only a little of the drugged wine was left in the bottle. Han Xiaomei had clearly been forced to drink it!

The expressions of Young Master Liang and the others changed drastically.

’This is bad. Someone found the evidence.’

’This has to be dealt with, and fast!’

Meanwhile, Han Xiaomei had begun to convulse.

Qin Tianxuan quickly took out a pill.

It was a life-saving medicine he always carried, specially prepared by Lingsu and the others.

Han Yuyu stared blankly at the pill.

Qin Tianxuan placed the pill in her hand. "Do you trust me? If you do, give this to your sister immediately."

Han Yuyu looked around. There was no one who could help.

Only Ah Xue’s brother was on her side.

She grit her teeth. "I trust you!"

After Han Xiaomei was given the pill, her breathing grew even more rapid, and she vomited again.

This development terrified Young Master Liang and his friends.

’Fuck, is someone about to die?’

’Damn it, this got out of hand. Who knew the girl was a student? Probably underage, too. And my friends forced so much of that spiked stuff down her throat.’

’If she dies, we’re in deep shit.’

Young Master Liang’s eyes darted around. He suddenly pointed a finger at Qin Tianxuan. "It was him! This guy is the one who forced Han Xiaomei to drink! You all saw it, right? This has nothing to do with us."

It was a blatant case of calling a deer a horse—a complete fabrication on the spot.

But Young Master Liang’s friends at the scene all started shouting in unison, "That’s right, it was him! We can all testify."

"Look, he’s still holding the bottle!"

The group chattered and clamored.

Qin Tianxuan said nothing, just shot them a cold glance.

Young Master Liang’s eyes shifted again. "Find out what company this Han Xiaomei is doing part-time work for! Get their manager over here immediately!"

The place Han Xiaomei worked part-time for was called the Rose Chauffeur Company!

On the surface, it provided legitimate services like designated drivers, but in reality, it exclusively recruited pretty girls.

Using the chauffeur service as a cover, these girls all worked as drinking companions, escorts, and public relations.

Soon, the manager of the Rose Chauffeur Company hurried over.

He was a man of about thirty, scrawny as a monkey, with a gold chain hanging around his neck. The moment he arrived, he was bowing and scraping. "Young Master Liang, was our service unsatisfactory?"

Young Master Liang raised a hand and slapped him across the face. "Wang Xiaodong, didn’t your fucking Rose Company promise perfect service? See for yourself! This Han Xiaomei drank too much, and now her family’s here making a scene. I’m warning you, deal with this for me right now!"

As a nightlife manager, Wang Xiaodong of Rose Chauffeur was a thug.

Despite having just been slapped, he maintained his smile. "Just a moment, Young Master Liang. I’ll take care of it!"

He turned, lightly rubbed his face, and dialed his phone. "Hu Zi, get twenty of the boys. Top floor of Brocade Mansion. Just say you’re with the Rose Company and come in through the back. Remember, bring tools!"

After the call, he slowly walked over to Han Xiaomei and her sister. "Let’s go. We can sort this out slowly in the back corridor. Compensation, medical fees—you’ll get what you’re owed. Heh, should we call an ambulance?"

His face was full of contempt.

Han Xiaomei’s breathing had stabilized, and she had thrown up most of the filth.

Han Yuyu felt a little calmer, but this only made her feel worse.

The man, Wang Xiaodong, frowned. "Your sister’s ID card, security deposit, and student ID are all on file at our company. So, are we going to talk or not? Name your price."

Han Yuyu was furious. "I don’t want your filthy money! I just want my sister’s ID card back! And the deposit!"

Han Yuyu didn’t want to cause trouble.

But this Wang Xiaodong had no intention of letting Han Xiaomei go.

’The girl’s still a high school student—young, pretty, and with a lot of potential to keep making money for the company.’

Wang Xiaodong’s eyelids drooped. "To the back. We can discuss any demands you have there!"

Han Yuyu was too angry to speak. At that moment, Qin Tianxuan gently helped her up. "As long as Xiaomei is all right, that’s what matters. He wants to talk? Fine. I’ll go with you."

Qin Tianxuan’s rage had become unbearable, and so his tone grew increasingly calm.

’Rose Chauffeur, Jin City’s Three Young Masters?’

’No matter who the fuck they are, they’re all going to pay the price tonight!’
