It was late, and the crowd was sparse, making the atmosphere quiet. Qin Xuan, situated in the VIP area, immediately heard Tan Taiyue's voice and hurried towards the sound.
Upon reaching the front desk, he saw Jin Shikai dragging Tan Taiyue towards the hotel exit.
Qin Xuan's mind was instantly flooded with rage, and he sprinted towards Tan Taiyue.
"Jin Shikai! You're looking for death!" Qin Xuan rushed forward and kicked Jin Shikai, sending him flying. He then caught Tan Taiyue, who had lost her balance, in his arms.
Jin Shikai crashed headfirst into the glass door, shattering it.
The commotion immediately drew the attention of the hotel security guards.
The captain of the security team, seeing Jin Shikai's head bleeding profusely after smashing through the door, was instantly startled.
"Holy cow! Who beat Young Master Jin like this!"
"Young Master Jin, are you alright?" the security captain quickly helped Jin Shikai up.
"Qin Xuan!" Jin Shikai touched the blood on his head, clenched his fists, and glared at Qin Xuan.
"I'm a VIP of your hotel. I've been assaulted. You deal with this. If you don't give me an explanation, you can shut this hotel down!" Jin Shikai roared.
The security captain adjusted his cap, knowing the seriousness of the situation.
This Young Master Jin was the heir of the Jin Group. If something happened to him at the hotel, not only the hotel but also his security team would be finished.
"Don't worry, Young Master Jin, this kid definitely won't be leaving this door today!" the security captain vowed, patting his chest.
Then, drawing his baton, he pointed at Qin Xuan and instructed the guards behind him,
"This kid is causing trouble at the hotel and injured Young Master Jin. Take him down!"
The security guards immediately surrounded Qin Xuan.
"Who dares!" At this moment, a sharp voice echoed through the hotel, followed by the clatter of high heels approaching.
Wang Yuyan strode in, her face flushed with anger. The security captain's face darkened.
"Miss... Miss Wang! What are you doing here!" the security captain forced a smile.
Wang Yuyan walked up to them and sneered,
"Why can't I be here? Am I not allowed to come?"
"No, no, no..." the security captain was sweating profusely.
"You are a high-level VIP of our hotel, of course, you can come whenever you want."
It was no joke. In Jiangbei, there were only a handful of people who could achieve the "Jiang Lin Tian Xia" high-level VIP status.
The security captain found himself in a dilemma.
On one side was the eldest young master of the Jin Group, and on the other, the eldest daughter of the Wang Group.
Although the Jin Group was not comparable to the Wang Group, it was still not someone a mere security captain could afford to offend.
Wang Yuyan glanced at Jin Shikai, then at Qin Xuan, and said coldly,
"What, you intend to lay a hand on my friend?"
The security captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he had been slow to act; otherwise, he would have truly offended this Miss Wang.
"Young Master Jin..." the security captain looked at Jin Shikai with a troubled expression.
Jin Shikai snorted coldly,
"What? Am I supposed to take this beating for nothing? I was injured at your hotel. If you don't give me an explanation, don't expect me to let this go!"
"This..."
The security captain wished he could die.
"Why the hell are you dragging me into your family's conflict? If I could give you an explanation, do you think I'd still be a security guard?"
Just as both sides were at a stalemate, a middle-aged man in a suit with a middle part walked down from upstairs.
"Please, both of you, don't make things difficult for my junior security guards. Otherwise, who would dare to apply for a security job at my hotel in the future?" the middle-aged man said as he walked over, relieving the security guards.
Seeing the middle-aged man arrive, the security guards felt like they had seen a savior and quickly approached him respectfully.
"Manager, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, I..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, interrupting the security captain, and gestured for him to lead his men out.
The security captain nodded and quickly led his brothers away.
The middle-aged man was indeed Chen Huan, the manager of the Jiang Lin Tian Xia Hotel.
Both Wang Yuyan and Jin Shikai, as VIP and high-level VIPs of the hotel, recognized Chen Huan.
"Manager Chen."
"Manager Chen."
Chen Huan nodded and smiled,
"Young Master Jin, Miss Wang, could you give me Chen's face? Let's let this matter rest. Of course, our hotel will definitely provide an explanation to Young Master Jin. How about this, I'll upgrade Young Master Jin's membership card to a high-level membership as compensation for this incident?"
"I have no objections," Wang Yuyan smiled and nodded.
After all, she had suffered no losses in this matter, and neither Qin Xuan nor Tan Taiyue were harmed. Only Jin Shikai was the one who got hurt.
"This..." Jin Shikai hesitated.
For a high-level membership card, if he agreed, wouldn't the beating he took be for nothing?
But Chen Huan's background was not insignificant.
Although he was just a hotel manager, he hailed from the capital.
The Jiang Lin Tian Xia Hotel had branches in most parts of the country, with the main branch originating from the capital, and its backer was a powerful figure there.
If he refused, it would be equivalent to not giving Chen Huan face, and offending him would be no better than offending the Wang family.
"Young Master Jin, do you find anything unsatisfactory?" Chen Huan asked when Jin Shikai remained silent.
Jin Shikai gritted his teeth and, out of desperation, agreed.
"No... no problem, I'll do whatever Manager Chen says."
With that, Jin Shikai cast a fierce glare at Qin Xuan and then turned to leave.
After Jin Shikai left, Chen Huan turned to Wang Yuyan and smiled.
"You little girl, causing trouble even in my hotel. Are you satisfied only when you smash my hotel?"
Wang Yuyan stuck out her tongue.
"Hehe, Uncle Chen Huan, how is this me causing trouble? It was clearly that scoundrel Jin Shikai who was being lecherous towards my friend."
Upon hearing this, Chen Huan's gaze fell upon Wang Yuyan and Qin Xuan.
When his eyes landed on Qin Xuan, Chen Huan frowned slightly, feeling a sense of familiarity.
He looked for a few more seconds, then shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and patted Wang Yuyan's head.
"You little girl, if you dare to mess around in my hotel again, I'll tell your grandfather!"
"Alright, you young people go ahead and have fun. I have a lot of work waiting for me."
With that, he also left in a hurry.
After Chen Huan left, Qin Xuan stepped forward and asked,
"Yuyan, is that person from the capital?"
Wang Yuyan blinked her beautiful eyes.
"How did you know? Do you know Uncle Chen?"
Qin Xuan shook his head.
"No, I guessed."
Wang Yuyan touched her chin and explained,
"Uncle Chen is indeed from the capital. This Jiang Lin Tian Xia Hotel belongs to the Chen family, so Uncle Chen is naturally from the Chen family in the capital. When Uncle Chen first came to Jiangbei, my grandfather helped him a lot, so our family has a good relationship with Uncle Chen."
"The Chen family from the capital..."
Seeing Qin Xuan murmur, Wang Yuyan asked curiously,
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Qin Xuan quickly shook his head.
"Nothing, let's go, it's already very late."
