Everyone outside the door was a bit surprised. Especially those brothers who colluded with Qian Xu. Their minds were now in a complete mess.
What was going on? It was one thing that Ji Bai, who should have been drugged and in this room, appeared in front of them safe and sound. But how did Qian Xu, the mastermind behind all this, end up in the room instead?
Moreover, the most important thing was that at this moment, Qian Xu was hunched over and curled up on the ground, while the couple standing in front of them stopped their actions only after the door opened.
Seeing so many people at the door, the man inside coldly said, "Does anyone know who this is? You'd better call his family and ask them to come over."
Hearing this, his cronies thought, "How arrogant!" A few of them cursed and walked into the room. Immediately, someone ran towards Qian Xu, who had been curled up on the ground motionless.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, hiss." The man gasped sharply. He was startled, and the others immediately turned to look.
Goodness! At this sight, everyone gasped. Qian Xu, who could be said to be the leader of them all, was now beaten black and blue and unconscious.
The man with dyed red hair was Wang Kai, a hot - tempered person. He immediately got angry. He stepped closer to the couple and pushed the man hard on the chest. But to his embarrassment, he couldn't even budge the man.
Although a bit embarrassed, Wang Kai didn't think much. He cursed and said, "Who do you think you are? Look at what you've done to our Brother Xu. You still want his family to come? Do you know who our Brother Xu is? Hurry up and apologize to our Brother Xu, or you'll be in big trouble."
"Yes, you'll be in big trouble," the others immediately echoed.
Yuan Meng watched the situation quietly, finding it rather funny. These people must have water in their heads. Their Brother Xu was beaten unconscious, yet they still had the mood to pick a fight here. Weren't they afraid that their Brother Xu's brain would be damaged and he would never be able to protect them again?
Clearing her throat, Yuan Meng's slightly cold voice seemed to ring out casually, "Oh, he was beaten so badly. I wonder if he's hurt anywhere. He's even bleeding! It looks quite serious. Will he die if he's not sent to the hospital?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Yuan Meng. Yuan Meng crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking nonchalant. "Why are you looking at me? If you don't send him to the hospital when he's in this state, looking at me won't help."
The cronies immediately came to their senses. Right! Why was their brain not working at this critical moment?
When they usually went out drinking and swindled money from their fathers, their heads were as sharp as anything.
Wang Kai, having a certain say, waved his hand. "Brothers, hurry up. Take Brother Xu to the hospital."
Immediately, someone started to carry Qian Xu out. Wang Kai then turned back and looked at the couple menacingly. "You'd better pray that our Brother Xu is okay. Otherwise, I'll bring my brothers and break your legs."
The man snorted coldly, patted his wife in his arms reassuringly, and said in a chilling tone, "What? Are you playing the thief crying 'Stop thief'? I haven't even asked you for an explanation, yet you want to break my legs. I'd like to see how you're going to do it."
"Fine. You're really ungrateful, aren't you? Just wait. If anything happens to Brother Xu, see if the Qian family will let you off," Wang Kai still had a bit of sense. Hearing the man's strong words, he pulled out the Qian family as a shield.
"What's the Qian family? Not only did I just knock him out today, even if I crippled or killed him, I'd like to see if the Qian family dares to say a single word." The man's tone grew colder. His eyes were completely devoid of warmth. "You go back and tell the Qian family that if they don't give me an explanation for this matter, they'll bear the consequences."
Since the words had been said to this extent, Wang Kai knew that the man in front of him was not to be trifled with. Muttering a few words like "Just wait," he fled in a hurry.
Watching this farce come to an end, Yuan Meng's lips curled slightly. This couple was actually husband and wife, and their identities were not simple. Perhaps this was the reason why Qian Xu targeted them.
He wanted Ji Bai to fall into the hands of this couple, so that the Ji family would never recover. But he never expected that the mantis was stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. His well - thought - out plan finally backfired on himself.
"I'll take you home," Ling Qianchen suddenly said. After such an incident at a good charity party, no one else had the desire to stay.
It could be said that the party was over. So Ling Qianchen had the idea of taking Yuan Meng home. On the one hand, he could spend more time with the girl he liked on the way. On the other hand, he still remembered that Yuan Xingcheng had been to Yuan Meng's home, and he also hoped he could go.
Ji Bai immediately jumped out and stood between them. "Don't even think about it. Sister is my date. She came with me, so she should go back with me."
"Why are you in such a hurry to take her home? Not everyone has left the party yet," Yuan Xingcheng was not willing to be outdone. He occupied the other side of Yuan Meng.
Now, Yuan Meng had Ji Bai on her left and Yuan Xingcheng on her right. They didn't leave any space for Ling Qianchen. Moreover, as long as Ling Qianchen showed the slightest sign of getting closer, the two of them would cooperate without hesitation to protect Yuan Meng tightly, not allowing him to get near at all.
Ling Qianchen looked at the two people who had squeezed him out, feeling rather speechless. Why did he feel that these two people were his nemeses? Not to mention anything else, they would definitely be the biggest obstacles on his way to chasing Yuan Meng.
In the end, Yuan Meng didn't let Ling Qianchen take her home. Instead, she let Ji Bai take her back to the Blue Note Bar.
Of course, they specially called a designated driver. Everyone knew that one shouldn't drive after drinking.
Ji Bai still wanted to stay in the bar for a while. He pleaded in a soft voice, "Sister, sister."
Although he was really cute, Yuan Meng still refused firmly, saying that kids shouldn't go home too late, especially kids who had drunk. It was not safe outside.
The next day, as soon as the Blue Note Bar opened for business, Ling Qianchen showed up. Yes, he came so early today with the hope of having an encounter with Yuan Meng.
After all, Yuan Meng was the co - owner of the Blue Note Bar, so the possibility of meeting her here was the greatest.
He ordered a low - alcohol drink and sat in a corner, quietly watching as more and more people came into the bar. The explosive DJ music started, and men and women were dancing wildly.
A familiar figure appeared. A look of joy immediately flashed across Ling Qianchen's face. Just as he was about to stand up to say hello, he saw that there was a strange man beside Yuan Meng, and their actions were a bit intimate.
Who was this man? Ling Qianchen immediately felt a bit unhappy.
