“Yao Qiang, what are you talking about?”
Meng Lin’s face instantly darkened, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Yao Qiang.
She had never imagined that Yao Qiang, her old classmate, would make such an excessive demand. What did he think of her?
“Not enough for you?”
Even though Yao Qiang could feel Meng Lin’s fury, he remained nonchalant and said with a faint smile, “If it’s not enough, I can add a little more. How about five hundred thousand a month? In two months, you could pay off Li Dalong’s external debt. An annual income of five million could certainly afford you the life you desire.”
Paying five hundred thousand to keep a woman was utterly not worth it!
However, Yao Qiang had other ideas. Having worked at Heavenly World for such a long time, he knew plenty of big bosses who liked beautiful women. Once he got tired of her, he could introduce her to other bosses.
With Meng Lin’s looks, a night’s price of one hundred thousand was definitely something a boss would be willing to pay, and there might even be those willing to bid higher just to spend a night with Meng Lin.
“Slap!!”
A crisp slap echoed instantly throughout the silent office. Find your next read on empire
Yao Qiang’s ugly face slowly revealed five clear fingerprints. As intense pain washed over him, he erupted in furious rage, shouting, “You bitch, how dare you hit me? Now, I’m going to force myself on you!”
With that, Yao Qiang dropped the act and, like a hungry wolf, lunged directly at Meng Lin.
But Meng Lin’s reflexes were quick. The moment Yao Qiang pounced, she stood up and moved backward, watching him warily. She firmly warned, “Yao Qiang, I warn you not to mess around, or I’ll call the police.”
“Call the police, haha, do you really think the police can do anything given Heavenly World’s connections in Taoyuan County? How is calling the police going to help?”
Yao Qiang’s face twisted malevolently as he touched his slapped cheek. He spat on the ground and said savagely, “You should feel honored that I’m willing to keep you. You don’t appreciate a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, aren’t you? Then don’t blame me for not being polite.”
Seeing Yao Qiang approaching again, Meng Lin immediately took out her mobile phone from her pocket, ready to call the police.
“You really dare to call the police?” Yao Qiang dashed toward Meng Lin in a flash, slapping the phone out of her hand.
The phone fell to the ground and instantly shattered into two pieces.
As the phone flew away, Meng Lin’s face instantly turned pale. She tried to rush out of the door at great speed but was grabbed by the arm by Yao Qiang. The enormous strength he exerted made her feel a wave of despair, but she quickly remembered what Li Qianfan had said to her.
“Help! Qianfan, come save me!”
“Qianfan—save me!”
As Meng Lin cried for help, Yao Qiang’s face contorted even more savagely, and he slapped her face hard.
Meng Lin screamed in pain and collapsed on the floor, her eyes filled with agony.
Yao Qiang looked down on her from above and said with a sneer, “Your brother is just a blind man. Do you really think he can beat so many security guards at Heavenly World? If he dares to come, I dare to kill him! Just enjoy yourself, and I assure you both will be unharmed.”
“You scumbag!!”
Hearing these words, Meng Lin felt a surge of disgust. She could not believe that her previous classmate had become so repulsive.
“In a moment, after you’ve experienced my strength, you won’t find me repulsive anymore. I’m sure I’ll make you more comfortable than Zhao Dalong, that useless wretch.”
Yao Qiang eyed Meng Lin’s stunning beauty, swallowed hard, and lunged at her without another word.
“Bang!!”
Just then, the door was kicked open with a single kick.
Li Qianfan appeared, and as he took in the scene in the office, his rage ignited. He shouted angrily, “You asshole, how dare you bully my sister-in-law. You’re looking for death!”
“Qianfan—”
Meng Lin’s eyes shimmered with surprise. She immediately got up from the ground and hid behind Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan turned to look at Meng Lin and noticed five finger prints on her delicate face. He understood that Yao Qiang must have been the one who hit her. He said indifferently, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry with me here, you’ll be fine.”
“Damn blind man, how dare you meddle in other people’s affairs, see how I deal with you!”
Although Yao Qiang was not as tall and imposing as Li Qianfan, he didn’t take Li Qianfan, the blind man, seriously at all. Far from being frightened, he even took the initiative to clench his fist and smash it towards Li Qianfan’s head.
Courting death!!
A hint of fierceness flashed in Li Qianfan’s eyes as he kicked Yao Qiang in the stomach.
Clearly, Yao Qiang had not expected Li Qianfan to strike so suddenly, nor had he expected such ferocity in the kick. The moment he felt an intense pain in his lower abdomen, his body flew backward as if hit by a speeding truck.
With a clang, Yao Qiang fell to the ground clutching his stomach, his face twisted with ferocity, filling the entire room with his agonized screams.
“You little scum, you’re done for, daring to make a move in Heavenly World, you’re dead!”
Even so, Yao Qiang continued to threaten.
“Threaten me??”
Li Qianfan was furious and unafraid of the other’s threats. What of Heavenly World? Anyone who dares to bully his sister-in-law must pay the price.
The next moment, he strode toward Yao Qiang.
However, Meng Lin saw what Li Qianfan was thinking and immediately reached out to pull him back, saying, “Qianfan, this is Heavenly World we’re in. Don’t cause trouble here, or the consequences will be unimaginable. Let’s get out of here quickly.”
Even though Li Qianfan now had the backing of Four Seas Martial Pavilion, Heavenly World was no pushover in Taoyuan County. It was said that the background of Heavenly World was the underworld, and offending this gang would entail no good outcome.
Though Li Qianfan could hardly quell his anger, he had to give up the notion of continuing to pummel Yao Qiang, as Meng Lin pulled him out of the office.
“You think you can leave??”
Seeing the two trying to depart, Yao Qiang, enduring the pain in his belly, picked up a mobile phone from the coffee table and dialed out: “Hello, Captain Xue, I’ve been beaten up at the factory, and they want to run away now. Lock all the doors and kill him for me!!”
…
As Li Qianfan and Meng Lin arrived at the entrance of the private club, they saw the doors shut tight, with a number of security guards running towards them.
In no time, over a dozen muscular security men armed with clubs surrounded Li Qianfan and Meng Lin.
Seeing this, Meng Lin’s face turned pale, instantly regretting her decision to come here for an interview and bringing Li Qianfan along.
Though Li Qianfan knew martial arts, they were outnumbered and outmatched, and the security at Heavenly World would definitely be armed with guns. Even if Li Qianfan was formidable, a single bullet would still claim his life.
“Xiao Fan, don’t go head-to-head with them, let your sister-in-law handle this.”
Although Meng Lin was scared, she was even more afraid of Li Qianfan getting into a fight and being shot dead.
“Sister-in-law, you can’t handle this situation either. I’ll take you and we’ll break our way out, stick close to me!”
In that moment, Li Qianfan had already decided to make a forceful breakthrough with his sister-in-law. With his current strength, taking down this group of security guards wouldn’t be a problem.
“It’s them, don’t let them get away!”
Just then, Yao Qiang, clutching his stomach, hurried over. Seeing that Li Qianfan and Meng Lin were surrounded, he roared, “I’ve been beaten, and you fools are just standing there? Get moving, beat this damned blind man to death.”
The next moment, the security guards clenched the weapons in their hands, their eyes filled with viciousness as they looked at Li Qianfan.
Seeing this, Meng Lin tensed up. She immediately turned to Yao Qiang and said, “Yao Qiang, stop, let’s talk this through. I apologize on behalf of Xiao Fan. Tell us what you want to make amends, and I’ll see what I can do to compensate.”
“Compensate me?”
Yao Qiang’s face twisted savagely, but a sinister smile crept across his lips. He said, “Alright, now you go sleep with me for a night, and we’ll call it even!”
