"What!?"
Zhang Qi was surprised for a moment, then turned to look at Ding Li.
After a moment, he realized and pointed at himself incredulously, "...I take it off?"
Lou Yuming gazed at him coldly, his tone dismissive, "What do you think?"
Zhang Qi froze, stunned. "No..."
"Do you want someone else to do it, or will you do it yourself?"
Lou Yuming began to call for people.
Sister Lan hesitated at the door, feeling she shouldn't intervene.
Sister Li cut to the chase, "An old man like you, not understanding basic reason and the situation. It's a disgrace."
So, driven by her own agenda, she specifically found two burly men to go in.
Lou Yuming was quite pleased, his jaw slightly lifted.
The two burly men strode aggressively towards Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi cried out and struggled, "Get away! If you dare to touch a single hair on me, I'll make you regret it!"
Lou Yuming casually twirled the ring on his hand, impatience flashing in his eyes, "Either go to the police station, or get stripped. I don't have time to waste with you!"
Zhang Qi froze, no longer daring to struggle. He then spoke with a tone of near supplication, "Uncle..."
Lou Yuming's dark expression remained impassive.
The two men stripped him of his clothes in a matter of seconds, leaving him with only his underwear.
Zhang Qi clutched himself tightly, feeling utterly humiliated.
Lou Yuming continued, "Run back."
"Ah!?"
He! He was trying to torture him to death!
Zhang Qi's mouth twisted with anger, but he dared not say anything. He hunched his back and said, "Uncle, it's already dawn..."
"You know shame now?"
Lou Yuming's gaze was sinister, chilling one to the bone. "When you were acting recklessly outside, did you ever consider this? If you don't run, you'll never get out of here for the rest of your life."
Damn it!!!
Zhang Qi's back teeth were grinding so hard they felt like they would shatter.
His face contorted, fury surging within his chest.
He was given absolutely no face in front of so many people!
Fine, very fine!
"I'll run!"
Lou Yuming's voice was cold, "Don't think of any tricks. I'll have someone follow you."
Zhang Qi: "..."
This devil!!
Zhang Qi had never suffered such humiliation.
His face turned green.
As he walked out of the private room, he caught a glimpse of a familiar blue figure in the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
Just as he was about to go over, Lou Yuming's demonic whisper came from behind him.
"What are you dawdling for?"
Zhang Qi shivered all over, his scalp tingling. He gritted his teeth and ran forward.
In less than half a day, Zhang Qi's incident spread throughout A City.
He became a laughingstock in the social circle.
From then on, Zhang Qi developed a psychological phobia and dared not go out for several months.
Meanwhile.
Sister Li entered the private room.
"Mr. Lou, thank you for bothering with this."
Lou Yuming placed a bank card on the table. "This is compensation for Wei Yin. Zhang Qi is forbidden from entering from now on."
Sister Li dared not: "Mr. Lou, this..."
Lou Yuming stood up, his gaze sweeping over the two women, and he dropped a sentence, "You should know who should be kept and who shouldn't."
Sister Li looked at the woman with big wavy hair, whose face turned pale and trembled.
"...Yes."
Ding Li mustered the courage to try and speak, but upon seeing the man's stern face and powerful aura, she dared not. She could only watch him leave helplessly.
Walking out of the private room, Lou Yuming glanced at Song Xi, who was hiding behind the plants, and lowered his voice, "Tell her I'm waiting for her at the entrance."
Sister Li nodded. "Don't worry!"
After Lou Yuming left, Sister Lan dared to walk over. She patted her chest, still shaken, "Okay, this matter is finally resolved."
Sister Li said, "Mr. Lou just said that Ding Li is my responsibility."
"What!?"
Sister Li's expression turned serious. "If you're not satisfied, go find Mr. Lou yourself."
Sister Lan didn't dare, but she was still somewhat displeased. "He's not the boss of Wei Yin, why is he interfering?"
Sister Li sneered, "Do you think he can't afford Wei Yin?"
Indeed, that was Lou Yuming!
"If he gives it, he gives it. It's not like it's something that makes money. If it weren't for her today, this big mess wouldn't have happened!"
Sister Lan huffed and was about to leave.
Sister Li added, "Oh right, that young Wang from your side, I heard he's been taking kickbacks behind your back?"
Sister Lan, who loved money as much as her life within Wei Yin, exploded upon hearing this.
"How dare he take kickbacks under my nose! I'll beat this little bastard to death!!"
After Sister Lan left, Song Xi cautiously emerged from the corner.
"Sister Li, how did you know about the kickbacks?"
"I knew when little Wang tried to trick you using this method back then. I just turned a blind eye for years, after all, you almost blinded little Wang back then."
"He deserved it!"
Song Xi intended to go see Ding Li, but after taking only a few steps, Sister Li stopped her.
"I see Ding Li is quite important to you, so I took the liberty of using Mr. Lou's authority to have her assigned to me. If anyone asks, don't slip up."
Song Xi nodded gratefully.
"Also, Mr. Lou said he's waiting for you at the entrance, you should hurry over."
Song Xi said, "No need to rush..."
"There's no reason for a boss to wait for someone! If it weren't for him today, things would have gotten much worse."
Speaking of which, Sister Li couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you two broke up already?"
It was too complicated, so Song Xi could only say, "We go back and forth."
Sister Li nodded thoughtfully, "I see he cares a lot about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here messing around with you at four or five in the morning, and publicly humiliating his own nephew."
Song Xi said, "It has nothing to do with me. He purely wanted to teach Zhang Qi a lesson."
"You!" Sister Li poked her forehead. "You're smart when you need to be, but truly foolish at other times. Remember, if you find someone reliable in A City, don't let go easily, understand?"
"Mhmm, got it."
At this moment, Ding Li walked out of the private room.
"Ding Li!"
Song Xi walked over and examined her from head to toe.
Fortunately, she wasn't too badly injured.
"Ding Li, I'm sorry, this is all my..."
"Don't take everything upon yourself!"
Sister Li analyzed objectively, "Ding Li, you should know, if it weren't for Song Xi today, with Zhang Qi's methods, you might have suffered even more."
This was also true.
Ding Li knew this, which was why she had been gritting her teeth, not mentioning Song Xi's situation at all.
But she wasn't concerned with that now. Her mind was elsewhere.
"Sister Li," her face was pale, but a flicker of hope shone in her eyes. She asked, "Just now, you told Sister Lan that Mr. Lou assigned me to you, is that true?"
Sister Li frowned. "Yes, is there a problem?"
Ding Li's heart leaped. Suppressing her excitement, she asked, "Then, then does Mr. Lou usually come to Wei Yin? How can I see him?"
