"You Bitch, You Dare Call the Police!"

Watching the manager, who had just been so arrogant and overbearing, now bowing and scraping as he apologized to him with a fawning smile, Chu Tian finally gained a real sense of what it meant to be rich and powerful.

But when his gaze swept over Gu Shiyan, who stood quietly before him, Chu Tian's newly inflated swagger swiftly deflated.

No matter how powerful someone was, they were doomed when they ran into a male lead with protagonist's plot armor. They would only end up as cannon fodder, their families ruined and lives destroyed...

Qian Feihe looked at Chu Tian in uncertainty, a chill creeping into his heart. Only now did he realize that he might have misjudged Chu Tian's background and influence and picked a fight with the wrong person.

The entire room was a mess. The manager bent over backward as he invited everyone present to move to an empty room next door to settle the matter.

Qian Feihe's agent hurried over after receiving the news. The moment he entered, he greeted Chu Maoming and the others with a placating smile, smoothly offering polite and diplomatic words.

Chu Maoming did not even spare him a glance. He sat grim-faced in the seat of honor, making it clear that he intended to seek justice for Chu Tian.

Seeing that there was no room for him to show off, Chu Tian decisively pulled Gu Shiyan to a corner and quietly asked where he had been hurt, whether it was serious, and told him to let him take a look.

Gu Shiyan had arrived at an incredibly timely moment. When he saw the chair flying toward Chu Tian, his heart stopped for a second. By the time he came back to himself, he was already standing in front of Chu Tian.

The chair had struck his left shoulder hard. Now he could not even lift that entire arm, and the pain burned fiercely.

When Gu Shiyan remained silent, Chu Tian frowned and quickly reached out to touch his back. Sure enough, his clothes were soaked through with cold sweat.

"We need to get you to the hospital first!" Chu Tian panicked. He wanted to pull Gu Shiyan up, but he did not know exactly where he was injured and was too flustered to touch him carelessly.

"I'm fine." Gu Shiyan shook his head. "It's not serious."

That had been a solid wood chair. It had hit him full-on—how could it possibly not be serious?

But Gu Shiyan insisted, so Chu Tian could only let it go for the time being. He glared fiercely at the culprit and urged the manager to stop wasting time and bring over the surveillance footage.

When Tian Qianqian arrived after helping Wen Lan get herself cleaned up, the footage happened to be delivered.

With Jin Mao and Chu Maoming present, the manager did not dare play any more tricks. The footage clearly showed that after Wen Lan left the women's restroom, she was stopped by a waiter.

After a brief exchange, Wen Lan was led near the emergency exit. Then the waiter suddenly took out a spray bottle and sprayed her.

Wen Lan's legs went weak, and she fell unconscious. The waiter swiftly caught her and headed toward the elevator, bringing her to Qian Feihe's room.

Qian Feihe seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The footage clearly captured him taking the unconscious Wen Lan from the waiter and bringing her into the room.

A few minutes later, Chu Tian and the others appeared in the footage. Everyone already knew what happened afterward.

Once the footage finished playing, the scene fell deathly silent.

Qian Feihe's agent was furious. He shot Qian Feihe a vicious glare, but with things having reached this point, he could only grit his teeth and try to cover for him.

"This is all a misunderstanding." Qian Feihe's agent brazenly lied, attempting to downplay the matter. "Feihe drank too much and made an irrational mistake while under the influence, but that was not his true intention. He knew nothing. He was merely looking after Miss Wen out of concern for a colleague. I believe the main problem lies with that waiter."

Listening to his shameless distortion of the truth, Chu Tian was so angry that he laughed.

"Misunderstanding my ass! Do you think everyone here is an idiot? Listen to the garbage coming out of your mouth!" Disgusted, Chu Tian cursed loudly. "The evidence is conclusive. What he did was a crime!"

"Young Master Chu, please calm down." The agent spoke evasively and turned his gaze toward Wen Lan. "As the victim, how this matter is ultimately characterized will depend on Miss Wen's wishes."

Everyone's attention followed his words and landed on Wen Lan.

Wen Lan had just gone through a nightmare. Though Qian Feihe had not succeeded, she had still been terrified. Even now that she was safe, her face was pale as wax and her body trembled.

"If Miss Wen intends to develop a career in the industry in the future, our company can provide considerable resources to support you," Qian Feihe's agent pressed on. "The upcoming Central Television drama Small-Town Stories may have a role as the fourth female lead that interests Miss Wen. I hope you will consider it."

He was using benefits to tempt her, hoping Wen Lan would pretend that nothing had happened today.

Small-Town Stories was a prime-time drama project led by Central Television. Artists from all sides had fought fiercely just for a chance at a role in it. It was the biggest opportunity in the industry lately.

Qian Feihe's agent casually offered up a role. It was not merely bait for Wen Lan, but also a threat on another level.

Chu Tian's brows knotted tightly. In his opinion, a scumbag like Qian Feihe, rotten to the core, should be sent straight to jail!

Benefits could move people's hearts, but they failed to move Wen Lan's.

"I refuse." Wen Lan looked directly at the silver-tongued agent and spoke with unmistakable resolve. "I want to call the police."

The heart that had risen to Chu Tian's throat abruptly relaxed.

Thank goodness, thank goodness! Sister Wen Lan didn't agree! If she had really been tempted, that would have been a real problem!

Gu Shiyan looked at Chu Tian beside him, who was loudly rejoicing. Seemingly thinking of something, his fingers moved as he silently unlocked his phone.

The expressions of both Qian Feihe and his agent changed. They had not expected even this to fail to sway Wen Lan.

Just as they were about to say something else, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Qian Feihe's eyelids twitched wildly. A bad feeling rose within him, and he sprang to his feet, intending to run.

Unfortunately, by the time he moved, it was already too late.

"Don't move! Police!"

With a sharp shout, the police officers who had rushed in grabbed the fleeing Qian Feihe by the arms and cuffed him.

Qian Feihe's eyes bulged with rage as he snarled at Wen Lan, "You bitch, you dare call the police!"

Wen Lan was somewhat stunned. She had wanted to call the police, but her phone was gone, and she had not gotten the chance yet.

"Sorry," Gu Shiyan calmly interjected. "I called them."

Qian Feihe's agent was stunned by the sudden turn of events. In his distraction, he accidentally answered a call that had come in several times already, all of which he had rejected.

"Bro, you finally picked up! Something huge happened! Chu Tian started a livestream and broadcast everything! The trending searches can't be suppressed anymore! Bro, what do we do now, bro—"

"Click."

The agent's hand trembled, and his phone fell to the floor, automatically ending the call. The entire room fell into dead silence.

"Sorry." Chu Tian gave an embarrassed little grin. "I only meant to preserve the evidence, but I accidentally forgot to turn it off..."

He took his phone from his breast pocket, glanced at the exploding comment feed, and tapped to end the livestream, quietly concealing his contribution.

Qian Feihe's agent collapsed onto the sofa as if struck by lightning—It was over. Everything was over!

"Officer, I have something to report!" Chu Tian raised his hand like an elementary school student. "This isn't Qian Feihe's first time doing this. Take a good look through the hidden folder on his computer's D drive. There's a surprise waiting for you~"
