"Ow, stop hitting me... stop hitting me."
Liu Tianhao did not listen at all. He sneered, "Mu Changsheng, even if Ma Qiao is your girlfriend, you just met her and you already wanted to force yourself on her?"
"He must be severely punished!"
"That's right, this must be severely punished!"
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'm not Mu Changsheng..."
"You still dare to talk nonsense? At a time like this, you still dare to frame someone else?"
"What are you doing?"
Just then, a puzzled voice rang out, accompanied by a pat on Liu Tianhao's shoulder.
Liu Tianhao froze slightly and instinctively turned his head. "Naturally, we're punishing some..."
But when he saw Mu Changsheng, his expression immediately stiffened. "Mu Changsheng...?"
Mu Changsheng revealed a friendly smile. "Brother Liu, I could hear you calling my name from far away... What exactly happened?"
Xia Yan was dumbfounded too. "Why are you here?"
Mu Changsheng was even more confused. "If I'm not here... where should I be?"
Liu Tianhao's mouth twitched. If Mu Changsheng was here, then who was the guy inside?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
A cold smile curled across Jiang Ruizhao's lips. "I'd like to see... Song Haoning, what are you going to do this time!"
Li Qingran hurriedly stepped back two paces, finally getting a clear look at the man.
Liu Tianhao's face darkened. "Song Haoning, why is it you?!"
Ma Qiao was dumbfounded too. Why was it this damned fat pig?!
She had actually been violated by this damned fat pig?!
The moment she thought of it... Ma Qiao felt somewhat aggrieved.
"Brother Liu, what do you mean by that? What do you mean... why is it you?"
Mu Changsheng asked with a puzzled expression.
Liu Tianhao's expression shifted uncertainly before he hurriedly forced an awkward laugh. "This... this..."
Then Xu Wen saw Ma Qiao on the bed, and her face turned especially gloomy. "Song Haoning, what are you doing?!"
The groggy Song Haoning saw Xu Wen's pretty face turn icy, then saw Ma Qiao on the bed. A thousand wild horses stampeded through his heart, and he hurriedly got to his feet. "Wenwen, believe me... believe me, I didn't..."
Before Song Haoning could finish, Xu Wen slapped him.
With a loud smack, the slap rang out sharply.
"You bastard!"
Xu Wen stormed straight outside in anger.
Mu Changsheng said coldly at that moment, "Song Haoning, I treated you like a brother, yet you actually... did something like this."
"I have to make sure you're punished for this!"
As he spoke, Mu Changsheng put on an act of taking out his phone, preparing to make a call.
This frightened Liu Tianhao and Song Haoning badly. If this coward Song Haoning let something slip, neither of them would get off well.
Liu Tianhao hurriedly stepped forward and said awkwardly, "Changsheng, Haoning was wrong about this. Haoning, come apologize to Changsheng!"
Song Haoning hurried over. "Changsheng, please don't hold it against me... I was drunk too... that's why I did that to Ma Qiao..."
Mu Changsheng snorted coldly. "Brother Liu, what do you mean by that? Song Haoning raped someone. That's a crime!"
Song Haoning's face went pale at the word crime, and he looked pleadingly at Liu Tianhao.
Liu Tianhao's face was equally grim. Once the police were called, Xia Yan and he could stay out of it, but if word got out, it would affect his father and mother.
"Ah, Changsheng, we're all friends. Song Haoning made an unintentional mistake. Look... can this be settled privately?"
Mu Changsheng frowned. "Settled privately?"
Liu Tianhao nodded. "I'll have Song Haoning give you this much... and we'll let this matter go."
"Fifty thousand?"
Mu Changsheng looked at the gesture Liu Tianhao made, his expression immediately turning stern.
"Brother Liu, what kind of person do you take me for?"
"Ma Qiao was bullied. As her friend, if I don't seek justice for her..."
"Ah, Changsheng, this amount... I'll give you one hundred thousand. Let's forget about this matter. What do you say?"
Mu Changsheng raised a brow. One hundred thousand?
Mu Changsheng looked at Song Haoning's pale face. Given Song Haoning's family influence, Liu Tianhao would make Ma Qiao withdraw the charges later, and Song Haoning could still walk away unscathed.
"Since... Brother Liu has put it that way, then let's forget it..."
Mu Changsheng said, feigning helplessness.
"Transfer the money."
Downstairs from the KTV
Mu Changsheng looked at the extra one hundred thousand in his phone and chuckled. "Never thought I'd end up doing extortion one day."
But since Mu Changsheng dared to do it, he naturally had a backup plan.
With that thought, Mu Changsheng got on his electric bike and sped toward Shangting Hotel.
Meanwhile, inside the KTV
Liu Tianhao and Xia Yan sat in the KTV with cold expressions.
Liu Tianhao stared at Song Haoning's red and swollen face. "Tell me... what exactly happened?"
"Why were you in that room?"
Song Haoning said with an aggrieved expression, "Brother Hao, I don't know either... When I sobered up, I was already on the bed!"
Seeing Song Haoning's aggrieved look, Liu Tianhao cursed, "Useless trash!"
Xia Yan shook his head helplessly. "The person you found was really unreliable. I lost three hundred thousand for nothing."
"That bitch Ma Qiao even dared to raise her price on the spot. She actually dared to demand two hundred thousand!"
Thinking about it made Liu Tianhao unhappy.
Xia Yan slowly rose to his feet and patted Song Haoning's cheek. "Haoning, I paid three hundred thousand to protect you. When are you going to pay me back?"
Song Haoning's face was pale. Three hundred thousand?
His yearly living expenses barely amounted to three hundred thousand.
"Brother Xia... this..."
Xia Yan sneered. "Not only did you ruin the plan, you also made me lose three hundred thousand."
"Brother Hao..."
Song Haoning turned his gaze toward Liu Tianhao. Liu Tianhao narrowed his eyes. "Haoning, such a good plan was ruined by a useless piece of trash like you... If you can't control your little brother, I don't mind crippling it."
"Xia Yan only asked you to pay three hundred thousand. That's already... giving you face. Don't be ungrateful."
"If you don't have money, don't you have a BMW 5 Series?"
"You just bought it. It must be worth quite a bit."
"I think you don't want to end up at the police station either... leaving a stain on your life."
Liu Tianhao said coldly.
Song Haoning's face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, I'll pay the money back right away... I'll pay it back."
Xia Yan kicked Song Haoning. "Move."
