At this moment, Zhao Tai, who had drunk quite a bit, walked over. He glanced at Ding Chenxiang, his eyes lighting up. He felt a stir in his heart, but with Qin Lin present, he couldn't make any overt moves. Thus, he asked Qin Lin,
"Linlin, who is this?"
Qin Lin introduced,
"This is my elder sister, a doctor."
Ding Chenxiang was among the few people closest to Qin Lin, besides Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue, so Qin Lin naturally treated her like a sister.
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Zhao Tai's eyes brightened, and he immediately formed a plan. He would send someone to investigate which hospital she worked at later!
"Hahaha, so it's Linlin's sister. That makes her my sister too! Please, come in and sit!" Zhao Tai laughed heartily, his excitement growing.
A sister! A pair of sisters, how wonderful!
Qin Lin paid no mind to Zhao Tai. She pulled Ding Chenxiang to a sofa nearby and they began to chat as if they were old sisters who hadn't seen each other for years.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan was left to his own devices. He found a corner by himself and poured himself a drink.
Shaking the glass in his hand and looking at the Royal Salute within, Qin Xuan let out a rare, wry smile.
"It's been four years since I last drank this."
Before long, the private room was once again filled with the sights and sounds of revelry.
Zhao Tai even grabbed the microphone and began singing a love song, occasionally casting glances at Qin Lin.
Just as Zhao Tai reached the climax of his song, performing a kneeling gesture, the door to the private room was violently kicked open.
A group of burly men stormed in.
They happened to witness Zhao Tai's kneeling act.
The man at the front of the group cast a disdainful look,
"Damn, the moment we walk in, we run into scum like you."
Zhao Tai, seeing the group of people barge in and disrupt his enjoyment, became furious. He stood up, threw down the microphone, and pointed at them, yelling,
"What the hell are you people? How dare you kick open my door! You dogs, don't you want to live?"
The burly man in the lead immediately slapped Zhao Tai, sending him reeling and disoriented.
"Damn you, you dare curse at me? Do you know who I am?"
Being slapped sobered Zhao Tai up instantly. He shook his head, even more enraged that someone dared to hit him!
"Motherfucker, do you know who *I* am? I'm Zhao Gensheng's son!" Zhao Tai straightened his back and announced his lineage.
Normally, whenever Zhao Tai encountered trouble and announced his name, it would be enough to resolve the issue.
Zhao Gensheng's Zhao Group was a leading real estate enterprise in Jiangbei.
In terms of overall strength, it could barely squeeze into the second-tier groups of Jiangbei, possessing considerable influence.
Who knew that a haughty voice would cut through the air.
"Li Gensheng? Who the hell is that?"
Zhao Tai's anger flared. He looked towards a person with one arm walking out from the middle of the group.
"Who are you, to dare insult my father!" Zhao Tai demanded, enraged.
Bai Weicheng sneered and emerged from the crowd with a man whose shoulder was in a sling.
"Who am I? I'm afraid if I told you, your dog guts would burst!"
"I am Bai Weicheng of the Black Tiger Gang!"
At this declaration, the private room fell into silence.
Ding Chenxiang, sitting on the sofa with Qin Lin, trembled.
It's over. They've finally come.
Ding Chenxiang could only hope that Qin Lin's wealthy second-generation classmate had enough influence to make them leave.
Hearing the words "Black Tiger Gang," Zhao Tai instinctively took a step back.
The burly man earlier saw Zhao Tai's face change dramatically and smirked disdainfully.
"Kid, weren't you just being arrogant? Weren't you asking if I wanted to live? Why are you so quiet now?"
Zhao Tai was now like a deflated ball, his earlier bravado gone.
He had initially thought it was just some drunk hooligans causing trouble. He never expected it to be the Black Tiger Gang.
Even though his father, Zhao Gensheng, was wealthy and had some influence, he dared not offend the Black Tiger Gang.
The Black Tiger Gang was known as one of the three major powers of the Jiangbei underworld, their influence naturally immense.
His Zhao Group did not possess the strength to cross the Black Tiger Gang.
And this Bai Weicheng was a notorious ruthless character within the Black Tiger Gang, known for his cruelty and ferocity.
If it had been just an ordinary thug from the Black Tiger Gang, Zhao Tai could have demanded some respect and perhaps settled it with money.
But this man was one of the Black Tiger Gang's confidantes!
Zhao Tai realized he had gone too far and quickly changed his expression, smiling obsequiously at Bai Weicheng.
"Ah, Brother Bai, this junior was blind and didn't recognize you. Please don't hold it against me."
Bai Weicheng remained silent. The burly man from before stepped forward and slapped Zhao Tai on the other side of his face.
"Damn it! You can call Brother Bai that?"
