Chapter 851: Chapter 848: Please Take Good Care of Yourself
Tong Xiaohua still looked at him, "Really? Then why don’t you explain, how do you interpret the word ’insult’? Or is it like you, who has to force our KTV girls to appear, and when someone refuses, you turn things around on them? You want me to know my place, is it because you want me to serve you well? And then, you’ll let me go? Don’t you think that it’s actually people like you who truly insult the term ’man’?"
Liu Yong’s face turned from red to green as Tong Xiaohua rebuked him, and he stared at her dead in the eyes, "Whether I am a man or not, won’t you know if you try?"
Tong Xiaohua burst out laughing, "What kind of brain is this? A pig’s? Those who think with their lower half are called animals, and the more impressive ones are called studs, not men!"
Liu Yong, being scolded repeatedly by Tong Xiaohua as a pig and a stud, was so infuriated that his face turned blue. He struggled, trying to break free from the bodyguards, hurling curses all the while.
Upon hearing his foul language, one of the bodyguards passed down a hand and stuffed a towel, seemingly acquired from nowhere, into Liu Yong’s mouth.
Liu Yong glared furiously, yet he could only make muffled, meaningless noises.
The other men sitting on the sofa, who were obviously his lackeys, watched as Liu Yong was being restrained, and the policemen didn’t dare intervene.
Hearing Tong Xiaohua’s earlier suggestion that they should bring them all back to the police station for investigation, they scrambled to plead with the Policeman.
"Police Officer, we are just here to accompany him for singing, we know nothing else about this," they said.
"Yeah, we were just here to have fun; we don’t know anything else. Police Officer, can I go now? My wife and children are waiting for me at home!"
However, no matter what they said, the Policemen forming a circle around them remained indifferent.
"Take them all back!"
The Police Officer who went out to make a phone call came back and without any superfluous words, directly ordered the Policemen to take everyone in the VIP Room back to the police station, no exceptions.
Tong Xiaohua and Uncle Ming, due to their good cooperation, were basically treated fairly. But Liu Yong, for being highly uncooperative the whole way, was handcuffed by a Police Officer to a metal pole to keep him quiet. His mouth was still stuffed with that towel, looking very wretched indeed.
The Surveillance video from the KTV had already been handed over to the police for examination. Liu Yong was taken to a room to give a statement, while Tong Xiaohua was called into another room for an investigation.
Uncle Ming called out to her worriedly, "Xiao Hua..."
Because there were Policemen present, Uncle Ming didn’t dare to say much.
Tong Xiaohua smiled at him, "Uncle Ming, it’s okay! Don’t worry!"
Saying there was nothing to worry about, how could he truly be at ease?
Qin Ming sat outside, full of anxiety. The boss had entrusted this girl to his care, and to think that within just half a month, such an incident had occurred.
Of course, it wasn’t a big deal, something Qin Ming could settle with just a phone call.
However, he found it unbelievable that Li Lin, who was usually so capable, would challenge the new boss in such a manner.
How stupid could this person be?
Or rather, how rebellious?
"Mister Ming..."
Now Li Lin sat beside Qin Ming, and at his call, Qin Ming turned to look at him with a somewhat playful gaze.
Seeing him say nothing, Li Lin leaned in and whispered, "Mister Ming, what did the Miss say to that cop just now?"
Qin Ming responded indifferently with a hum, "How would I know?"
Today’s incident wasn’t really a big deal; in fact, Qin Ming could resolve it with just a phone call.
However, Li Lin’s reaction left Qin Ming puzzled, which is why he decided to play along with him.
Compared to dealing with the Policemen and that Liu Yong, Qin Ming felt that Li Lin’s attitude and approach were worth delving deeper into.
Initially, Qin Ming told Tong Xiaohua there was no need for her to come, he would handle Li Lin’s matter himself.
But after listening to the phone call, she immediately canceled her date and hurried over.
"Don’t worry! The Miss has a sharp eye!"
Qin Ming had originally feared that Tong Xiaohua might be bullied, but now it seemed she had, just like him, seen through the ruse and was merely playing along with Liu Yong.
No, more accurately, she was playing along with Li Lin.
Li Lin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.
"Of course, if Miss doesn’t have a keen eye, she wouldn’t be sitting in the boss’s seat!"
That statement, whether it was affirmation or sarcasm, was likewise intriguing.
Qin Ming felt somewhat disappointed. This Li Lin was also a talented individual. Under his management, the Tong Family’s nearly ten KTV businesses in L City had more than doubled their earnings. Yet, it seemed he was quite dissatisfied with new boss Tong Xiaohua?
"Ah Lin, you better watch yourself!" Qin Ming’s words served both as a warning and as advice.
Li Lin was startled again and looked up at Qin Ming, "What do you mean by that, Mister Qin?"
Qin Ming shook his head, "I mean nothing else, I only know that the boss doesn’t make mistakes in judging people, including you, including Miss."
Li Lin didn’t respond, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked silently, hunched over his chair.
Tong Xiaohua had stayed in the room for nearly half an hour and emerged with an impassive expression that revealed no particular emotion.
"Miss, how did it go?"
This time, Li Lin seemed a bit restless. As soon as Tong Xiaohua came out, he stood up to greet her.
Clearly, Qin Ming’s words had made him uncomfortable.
Tong Xiaohua glanced at him but ignored him, sitting down next to Uncle Ming, "Uncle Ming, go inside."
Qin Ming stood up, locking eyes with Tong Xiaohua, silently exchanging a glance.
Qin Ming entered the room, while Tong Xiaohua had no intention of engaging with Li Lin, taking out her mobile phone to check her unread messages.
"Xiao Hua, everything alright?"
The message was from Yan Bo.
Tong Xiaohua didn’t hesitate and replied straight away.
"I’m fine, thanks for the concern!"
Li Lin, who was quite obviously being snubbed, at first sat in silence, trying to keep up appearances. But as time passed, he grew restless, hesitated a few times, and finally edged his chair closer to Tong Xiaohua.
"Miss..."
Only then did Tong Xiaohua turn to give him a direct look, "Hmm?"
Li Lin had never taken Tong Xiaohua seriously before, but now he unexpectedly found her gaze to be terrifyingly sharp.
"Is there some issue with Liu Yong?"
Tong Xiaohua’s inscrutable eyes settled on Li Lin’s face, and after a while, she replied indifferently.
"How would I know?"
Li Lin, having hit a wall, was a bit annoyed but didn’t dare to lash out, and at the same time, he seemed somewhat uncertain.
"So, what were you discussing with the police officer earlier?"
Why did everyone involved have to be taken back to the police station for interrogation when it should have been resolved in the KTV?
Tong Xiaohua shrugged, "I didn’t say much, I just stated that I was willing to cooperate with the investigation."
It was obvious that Tong Xiaohua wasn’t telling Li Lin the whole truth.
While Li Lin wanted to ask more, he ultimately did not pursue it further, because he understood that no matter how much more he asked, it would be in vain!
