Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the A4 car, An Ning led Lin Yi through the streets at night.

Lin Yi looked at the scenery outside the car window and felt that the local environment truly shapes the people.

They say that people in the north have a bold and vigorous character, and you can tell from the expressions of people on the streets.

Proud and graceful, exuding a heroic spirit.

Even when wearing high heels and carrying a bag, they can stride forward confidently.

That dignified and elegant quality was strikingly similar to Liang Ruoxu.

To a certain extent, even Ji Qingyan was lacking. It was not that her temperament was lacking, but that she lacked a bit of ruthlessness.

Ji Qingyan, Li Chuhan, and Wang Ying would immediately hide behind him after something happened, but Liang Ruoxu dared to pull the trigger.

“Thank you for what happened just now,” An Ning, who was driving, said.

“I’m used to it. I’m used to taking bullets.”

An Ning was a little embarrassed. After all, her attitude towards him just now wasn’t very good.

“How about this? I’ll treat you to a meal with Northeastern specialties like barbecue, hotpot stew, and hearty pork dishes. After we eat, I’ll take you to a bathhouse.”

“Forget about the food. It’s not a big deal.” Lin Yi said.

“But those two people are still following us. You should think of a way to shake them off.”

“He’s still following us?!”

An Ning panicked and hurriedly looked in the rearview mirror. Indeed, she discovered that the Lexus had been following her.

“These people are really persistent!”

“You should think about how to get rid of those two before you think about anything else.”

An Ning nodded and pondered for a few seconds before taking out her phone.

“Are you off duty?”

“I met a few hooligans. Come and pick me up.”

“Two.”

“You don’t have to be so uptight. Just come over and pick me up.”

“I’m going to Hantang Bathhouse to deliver a client now. Just wait for me there. When we’re done, the two of us will leave together.”

“Alright, wait for me there.”

A few minutes later, An Ning hung up the phone with a much more relaxed expression.

“You called your boyfriend?”

An Ning nodded and said, “We’ll leave after sending you there. I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.”

“That’s a small matter.” Lin Yi said.

“But why didn’t tell the man you had a boyfriend?”

“I told you, it didn’t work.”

“You already have a boyfriend, and you’re still entertaining pursuers. Your taste is pretty good.”

“Taste?…”

An Ning paused for a moment, then understood what Lin Yi meant.

However, she did not continue.

How could his girlfriend tolerate a person like him?

About half an hour later, An Ning drove the car to Hantang Bathhouse.

The two of them had just parked the car when Lin Yi saw three men walking towards him.

The person at the front was about 1.8 meters tall and in his early thirties. He had short hair, wore glasses, and dressed neatly. He was not overly fashionable or tacky. According to Lin Yi’s experience, he should be from the upper-class.

After all, one’s temperament could not be deceived.

Lin Yi took a closer look. As expected, this man was An Ning’s boyfriend. The two of them looked quite compatible standing together.

However, the two people standing behind him were slightly ordinary.

Just as Lin Yi had expected, the person walking in front was An Ning’s boyfriend, Nie Zhengyang.

The two people behind him, one fat and one thin, were his childhood friends. The fat one was called Zhang Tao, and the thin one was called Li Xin.

Knowing that his girlfriend had been bullied, he rushed over with his two childhood friends.

“Let’s get off first.”

The two unbuckled their seatbelts and got out of the car. The moment they saw Lin Yi, Nie Zhengyang’s eyes were filled with hostility.

Lin Yi’s appearance was too outstanding, making him feel insecure.

“Ningning, who is this?”

“He’s a client from our institute. He brought some people here to study. I’m in charge of receiving him and sending him here.”

Seeing An Ning’s nonchalant expression, Nie Zhengyang did not think too much about it.

The two of them had been together for more than a year and knew each other’s temperaments.

He knew what kind of person An Ning was, so he didn’t overthink it after she explained it clearly.

Then, An Ning briefly introduced Nie Zhengyang and the other two to Lin Yi, explaining their relationship.

“Ning Ning, where are the two hooligans who harassed you?” Nie Zhengyang asked.

An Ning looked around and happened to see Sun Man’s 570 arriving at the parking lot of the bathhouse.

“They’re in that car.”

Following An Ning’s gaze, the three of them also saw the 570 and said coldly,

“Come with me. Damn it, how dare you harass my girlfriend? I’ll break his legs!”

“Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!”

An Ning held him back and tried to dissuade him.

“It’s better to avoid trouble. Just accompany me later.”

“Why should I leave? My girlfriend was bullied. Am 1 supposed to just watch?”

“Don’t blow things out of proportion.”

It was obvious that An Ning still didn’t want to cause trouble.

“You have to think about your career. If this matter blows up, you can forget about becoming the deputy director.”

Under An Ning’s persuasion, Nie Zhengyang quickly calmed down.

“I’ll ignore them today. If they harass you again in the future, I’ll definitely not let them off easily!”

An Ning nodded and said, “I’ll go in first and make some arrangements before we leave.”

“Let’s go in together.”

“That works too.”

After making up their minds, the five of them entered the bathing center. On the other side, Sun Manjia and Zuo Quanli had been watching them silently.

“This group of people is really interesting. They actually came to our territory.”

Back then, when he started his career, he did all kinds of shady business.

Therefore, it was inevitable for people like the Sun brothers to open a bathing center.

The boss of Hantang Bathhouse was none other than Sun Manjia.

However, Lin Yi, An Ning, and the rest didn’t know about this.

“It’s indeed quite a coincidence,” Sun Manlou said.

“Tell me, how would they feel if they knew that this bathing center was mine?”

“Haha, they won’t know whether to laugh or cry.”

After saying that, Zuo Quanli lit a cigarette and asked, “Brother, that man’s identity has been confirmed, right?”

Sun Manjia looked at the message on his phone and said,

“Yes, he’s the president of Lingyun Group.”

“So what do we do? Do we move or not?”

“I’ll go in and chat with him,” Sun Manjia said.

“I’ll give him some face, and we’ll see if he takes it.”

“I think it’s going to be tough. You better be prepared for that.”

“This is my territory. There’s nothing to prepare for.” Sun Manjia opened the car door and got out, stretching his body.

“Let’s go. Let’s take care of these two things today. I’ve been holding back for so long.. i’ll try to win her over today!”
