Liu Xiang narrowed her eyes. "What? You two still don't believe it? Looks like the Zhuang Xin you know is the same person I know."

"Miss Liu, ahem, forgive me for being presumptuous, but this Zhuang Xin... could there be some background of his that you haven't investigated properly?" Lu Kang asked with a dry laugh.

"Manager Lu!" Liu Xiang frowned and said decisively, "He's worked at my company for quite some time. There was even a gathering where we had barbecue at his home. His mother runs a small convenience store, while his father just does manual labor outside. Could I possibly have gotten someone like that wrong?"

"Really?"

Now the two men could no longer stay calm.

If that was true, then they had definitely been played.

"What a disgrace! We actually got scared into running away. I was wondering how he, the only son of the Zhuang family, could end up in an ordinary private room, flirting with six women of such ordinary status. It made no sense."

"Yeah! I thought it was strange too. Now that Miss Liu mentions it, that really does seem to be the case."

Hearing them, Liu Xiang's eyes lit up. "Oh? It seems you two have a grudge against this Zhuang Xin too?"

The two men sighed and told her everything that had just happened, from beginning to end.

Liu Xiang could not help snickering. "Manager Lu, Manager Zhao, you're both seasoned veterans, yet you actually got toyed with like this. This is killing me."

The more she laughed, the uglier the two men's expressions became.

"Alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore. But that brat has harmed me too. I can't swallow this humiliation." A trace of venom flashed in Liu Xiang's eyes. When she thought of how her husband had beaten and cursed her after returning home, even exposing all her dirty secrets to the public, her teeth itched with hatred.

This was all thanks to Zhuang Xin. If she did not seek revenge on him, who would she seek it from?

"Fine! Then we'll go deal with this brat. My bodyguards are outside anyway. Damn it! Once that brat comes out, I'll kill him!"

After discussing it, the two men found that they could not let it go either.

They immediately gathered eight bodyguards and stationed them at the parking lot outside and the hotel entrance!

The moment Zhuang Xin came out, they would spot him immediately.

Five minutes later, a security guard in a black suit ran up to Zhao Hong. "Manager Zhao, we found that brat. He came out through the main entrance and is heading toward the parking lot."

"Mm! Well done."

Zhao Hong revealed a cold smile. But to be safe, he asked Liu Xiang for the phone number registered in the file and dialed it!

As long as Zhuang Xin answered, it would prove there was no problem with the file, and only then would they dare to trouble him without worry.

If the call did not go through, they would truly feel a little uneasy.

A few seconds later, Zhuang Xin, who was walking out of the hotel entrance, really did have his phone ring.

He took it out and answered.

But no one spoke from the other end. After saying hello a few times, Zhuang Xin hung up in confusion.

"Who's so bored that they call without saying anything?"

Speechless, Zhuang Xin led the six women into the parking lot.

Meanwhile, Lu Kang and Zhao Hong, along with Liu Xiang and the bodyguards, revealed cold smiles.

It really was that brat. He was just an ordinary person, yet he had dared to trick them and claim that he drove a forty-seven-million Koenigsegg?

Pah! With a salary like that, could he afford a forty-seven-million car? He could not buy one even in ten lifetimes!

"Follow me. We can't let this brat get away today! Damn it, I've never been this humiliated in my life." Lu Kang gritted his teeth, feeling as though his intelligence had been insulted!

Was Zhao Hong any different?

They had been in the game for so long, and they had always been the ones putting on airs in front of others. Today, someone had actually put on airs in front of them?

And even scared them into fleeing in panic?

No matter how they thought about it, they could not let this end like that!

"Once we enter the parking lot, rush him at the corner on the left and teach that brat a lesson!"

"Alright! Don't worry, Manager Zhao."

The group of bodyguards revealed cold smiles.

"Don't worry. Once this is over, I won't treat you poorly. Here's one hundred thousand. After you deal with that brat, split it among yourselves. You don't need to do anything extreme—just beat him up."

Zhao Hong took out a stack of cash and handed it to the leading bodyguard.

The eight bodyguards excitedly accepted the money. "Thank you, Manager Zhao. We'll definitely handle it properly."

Thus, they cautiously circled around from the left side of the pillars, using the surrounding vehicles as cover as they fearlessly crept closer!

Closer. Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters...

The eight men had already reached a spot not far behind Zhuang Xin.

Lu Kang and Zhao Hong also smiled as they stared fixedly at Zhuang Xin!

At that moment, Zhuang Xin, who was chatting and laughing with the women, took out the Koenigsegg key and pressed the unlock button.

Beep beep~

The not-very-loud sound of a car unlocking rang out in the silent parking lot.

Lu Kang and Zhao Hong looked at the key in Zhuang Xin's hand, then at the car beside him. Their bodies stiffened as an inexplicable sense of foreboding rose within them. Why did this feel... a little different from what they had imagined?

This guy really drove a Koenigsegg worth forty-seven million. That key was real.

"Stop!"

Zhao Hong let out an angry roar and charged over, punching and kicking the eight bodyguards!

"Who are you people? How dare you sneak-attack Young Master Zhuang? Are you tired of living?"

The eight bodyguards were utterly confused, but they did not dare fight back. They could only let Zhao Hong punch and kick them. The leader moved closer and, after taking several blows, finally found a chance to ask, "What's going on, Manager Zhao? Didn't you tell us to do it?"

"I told you to do it? How is that possible? I'll beat you to death!" After throwing a few more punches, he lowered his voice and said, "Why aren't you leaving? Things have changed. We can't afford to offend this man."

"Ah? O-okay, Manager Zhao."

The bodyguard leader could only helplessly leave with his men.

Behind them, Liu Xiang asked blankly, "What's wrong with Manager Zhao? This isn't right. Why did he make the bodyguards leave?"

"You idiot, all boobs and no brains!" Lu Kang kicked Liu Xiang in the stomach. She screamed and fell to the ground. Only then did Lu Kang say, "Didn't you see the key in his hand? A forty-seven-million car! That's a real key. Can we afford to provoke someone who owns a car like that?"

"How... how could that be?" Liu Xiang was dumbfounded. She asked skeptically, "Could it be rented? There's no way he can afford that car."

"Rented? Go look around the market and see if anyone rents out a car worth nearly fifty million! If it gets scratched or dented, who can afford to pay for it? Damn it, go rent one for me, then!"

After saying that, he ran over too and shouted, "Young Master Zhuang, are you alright? We came in and saw these bodyguards following you, so we immediately rushed over to warn you!"

"Oh?" Zhuang Xin glanced at the two men. Their appearance had been far too timely.

So timely that it seemed a little strange. Still, nothing had happened, and besides, Zhuang Xin possessed the Ultimate Fighting Technique. If those bodyguards had really dared to attack, he would likely have already knocked them all down.

"You really came at just the right time." Zhuang Xin's lips curved slightly upward. He said nothing else, instead taking his people into the car and driving away.
