To call it an office is a stretch; it's just a place for a few guys watching the site to rest. The door is covered in graffiti, and once you push it open, the inside is smoky with cigarette butts and beer bottles scattered on the floor. A few shirtless men are playing mahjong, while others are watching TV or playing on the computer.

"Hey girl, tired from playing?" At the mahjong table, a sturdy man with flames tattooed on his arm and a buzz cut glanced at the doorway.

"Dog Bro, I'm not tired, I was just thinking about you!" Bai Jie said coquettishly, then walked over to the mahjong table and hugged "Dog Bro" from behind.

"Tsk tsk, university students really know how to talk, one sentence just lights up a room."

Dog Bro laughed heartily and picked up another mahjong tile, his eyes brightened instantly as he pushed his tiles forward, "I win! Pay up, pay up!"

Unlike Dog Bro's triumphant demeanor, the other men at the table looked a bit gloomy, especially a short guy in a floral shirt, slightly red-nosed from drinking, who simply stood up from the table.

"Dog, your moves are strong, I can't afford to play with you anymore. I'll owe you this time, whoever wants can take over."

"Zhuang Zi, envious, huh? If you're envious, go find yourself a university student too! Hahaha!"

Zhuang Zi lit a cigarette and looked at Bai Jie, "Xiao Bai, why don't you introduce one to your bro?"

Bai Jie was just worrying about how to find a chance to retaliate against Chu Ge, and upon hearing this, her heart leapt with joy. She quickly nodded, "Brother Zhuang Zi, if you really want to find one, there's a pretty girl by the dancing machine right now, do you want to check her out?"

Zhuang Zi was taken aback; he was just saying it casually and didn't expect Bai Jie to take it seriously. He couldn't help but feel tempted, hesitating, "Is she as pretty as you?"

Though Bai Jie was unwilling to admit it, to get back at Chu Ge, she nodded with a hint of jealousy, "Hehe, she's alright, a bit prettier than me."

"Does she have anyone with her? Does she look like trouble?"

"Well, she does have someone, but just some bumpkin dressed in rags, clearly not someone important."

Hearing Bai Jie say this, all the guys in the room perked up, abandoning their mahjong, TV, and computers to look at Bai Jie in unison.

Seeing the reaction from this room of site-watching thugs, Bai Jie felt an indescribable satisfaction; in her view, she finally had a chance to get revenge.

By the dancing machine, as Qin Ruoying finished a song, she completely captivated the onlookers. Amidst a flurry of whistles, some began to egg her on to dance again.

It's not that they hadn't seen beauties or skilled dancing machine players before, but someone like Qin Ruoying, a beauty of such caliber playing so well, was a first for everyone present.

Wiping the fragrant sweat from her forehead, Qin Ruoying stepped off the dancing machine and took Chu Ge's arm under the almost fanatic gazes.

"Brother-in-law, join me for a dance?"

Chu Ge shook his head with a smile, "I can't, you go ahead."

Seeing Chu Ge shake his head, Qin Ruoying shook his arm gently, "It's really simple; your athletic skills are so good, you'll pick it up in no time. It's more fun with two people. My sister and I used to play together. Come on, just get on, I'll teach you."

When Qin Ruoying approached Chu Ge, the people around finally noticed him. When Qin Ruoying took his arm and invited him, saying such suggestive words, they almost wished they could answer for Chu Ge themselves at once.

Because everyone was focused on Qin Ruoying, nobody noticed that seven or eight site-watching thugs had already started walking toward the dancing machine from a room.

Zhuang Zi walked in front. As he got closer to the crowd, he got a glimpse of Qin Ruoying through the gaps and his steps paused immediately, eyes fixated, mouth gaping, even drooling without realizing it.

Not only Zhuang Zi, the other thugs were just as stunned, almost popping their eyes out, wanting to stick them to Qin Ruoying and get a closer look.

This isn't just a bit prettier than Bai Jie; this woman is in a whole different league entirely! Even her fingertip is more appealing than Bai Jie as a whole!

Once this group of thugs snapped back to reality, their expressions turned increasingly malicious, exchanging glances filled with sinister intent.

"Zhuang Zi, if you don't make a move, I will?" one thug said with a wicked smile.

"Go, we have to go for it!" Zhuang Zi wiped the drool from his mouth, his eyes still on Qin Ruoying.

"Hold on, let's check out the guy first. If Bai Jie's tricking us, we might be in trouble. Her expression wasn't normal when she came in. Nowadays, female students have a lot of Heart Eye," suggested Dog Bro.

"Dog, is it necessary to be so cautious?"

"Never judge by appearance, better be careful. We took a huge loss just a few days ago, remember?"

Hearing Dog Bro's advice, the impatient thugs fell silent.

After discussing for a while on the outskirts, they decided to test the waters first and decide what to do based on that.

Qin Ruoying pleaded for a while. Seeing that Chu Ge still wasn't interested in playing, she went back to the dancing machine and continued to dance energetically.

"Hey, buddy, got a lot of coins there? Mind lending me a few to play?"

Chu Ge was watching Qin Ruoying play the dance machine when a man in his twenties suddenly approached, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, looking at the coin box in Chu Ge's hand.

Chu Ge smiled and handed over the coin box.

"A big spender, huh? Pretty generous, aren't you?"

A thug observed Chu Ge's expression, reached into the coin box to grab a handful, then stood beside Chu Ge with his arms crossed.

Not even a minute later, another thug came over and patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, "Buddy, quite generous, huh? Mind lending me a few coins to play too?"

Chu Ge smiled again, "Help yourself."

Then a third thug also came over, this time asking not only for game coins but also for a cigarette. Chu Ge still didn't say anything, giving coins when asked, and a cigarette when asked.

Even though he knew they were obviously looking for trouble, Chu Ge kept smiling. After all, he had brought Qin Ruoying out to have fun today. As long as these guys weren't too excessive, he really didn't want to make a fuss over it.

However, when a few more thugs flocked over to him, Chu Ge's smile became quite helpless.

It seemed he had really given these guys too much face. Once, twice, thrice, and still not finished? Since these guys were dead set on getting beaten, he had no other option.

Zhuangzi came over to Chu Ge, licking his lips, "Buddy, the girl you brought is pretty hot, huh? With you being this generous, you don't mind if we have some fun with her, right?"

Chu Ge helplessly rubbed his forehead and sighed, "I mind."

Seeing Chu Ge sigh, the thugs felt even more confident, "What? You wanna have some fun with us then?"

"Buddy, it's crowded here, could you give me some face, and let's chat somewhere else?"

With a look of idiocy directed at Zhuangzi, Chu Ge left a sentence and turned to walk away.

Zhuangzi was momentarily stunned, vaguely thinking the words sounded familiar. But with the temptation in front of him, he quickly abandoned his doubts, gave the others a look, and followed Chu Ge's footsteps.

Two minutes later, Chu Ge returned to the spot he had been before. Qin Ruoying was still happily playing on the dance machine, completely unaware that Chu Ge had even been away.

Meanwhile, in the amusement arcade's restroom, the previously arrogant thugs were now all bruised and battered, groaning and calling for reinforcements over the phone.

Although Qin Ruoying seemed to still be enjoying herself, she felt a bit guilty about making Chu Ge stand by watching. So after finishing the dance, she stepped off the machine.

"Brother-in-law, let's go play something else, something we can play together."

Chu Ge apologized with a smile, "Next time, a colleague just called about some company issues. I need to head over right away, let's go."

Hearing this, Qin Ruoying's face clearly showed disappointment, but she still nodded.

"Oh... well, okay, brother-in-law, wait for me, I need to use the restroom."

Chu Ge was sweating; why did Qin Ruoying have to use the restroom right now?

He had just dealt with those thugs in the restroom. He suggested leaving because he didn't want to wait for those thugs to bring back reinforcements and cause more trouble,

"Is it urgent?"

"Yeah, pretty urgent."

Chu Ge was even more speechless. But since Qin Ruoying was anxious to go, he couldn't stop her, so he had to accompany her towards the restroom.

Fortunately, the restrooms in the amusement arcade were separated by gender. Until Qin Ruoying went in, he didn't encounter those thugs coming out.

However, just as Qin Ruoying walked into the restroom, a van pulled up at the arcade entrance. Seven or eight thugs, holding clubs, got out with fierce expressions, rushing toward the restroom as soon as they entered.

Seeing this scene, the people who had been playing in the arcade were stunned. The bustling hall fell into a momentary silence.

Especially a few young men who were about to head to the restroom, they quickly made way in fright, fearing that those thugs would target them with their weapons.

Chu Ge helplessly smacked his forehead. How did they arrive so quickly? Would this ever end?

He really didn't want to expose his skills in front of everyone, especially with Qin Ruoying by his side today.
