I'll do it

Looking at Xie Yuan's serious face, Zhang Jue froze for a moment. "Teacher Tan went to the restroom. What's wrong?"

Xie Yuan strode out of the Lounge.

Seeing how tense he was, Mu Ze and Zhang Jue followed him out.

"Young Master Xie, what exactly is going on?"

Xie Yuan asked in return, "Which restroom did Teacher Tan go to?"

Even Zhang Jue realized something was wrong. "This way. Follow me."

They picked up their pace considerably, and even the cameramen following them noticed something was different.

In the livestream chat, viewers began speculating as they watched the men's anxious expressions.

[What's going on?]

[No idea. Looks like something happened.]

[They're all so nervous, and Heavenly Queen Tan is the only one missing. Did something happen to her?]

[What a fuss. She just went to the restroom. What could happen? Xie Dog is making a mountain out of a molehill.]

[Exactly. Can't you see the cameraman has been following her the whole time? What could possibly happen?]

At Livestream Backstage.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Director Ma immediately contacted the cameraman following Tan Yaya.

"Where are you? Where's Teacher Tan?"

The cameraman was bewildered for a moment and glanced at the women's restroom. "Teacher Tan went to the restroom."

Director Ma asked, "How long has she been in there?"

The cameraman didn't know why the director was asking, but answered honestly, "Not long. About seven minutes."

"Five minutes." Director Ma stood up, startling the Deputy Director beside him. "Hurry up and check inside. She's been in there so long without coming out, and you haven't noticed anything wrong?"

The cameraman said, "I've been outside the whole time. Nobody went in except Teacher Tan."

Director Ma said, "With so many people in the Bar, nobody going in is what's abnormal."

"Hurry up and check."

The cameraman had no time to think further. Just as he put down his equipment, Zhang Jue, Xie Yuan, and Mu Ze came running over.

Before they could ask, the cameraman hurriedly said, "Teacher Tan hasn't come out since she went in."

Zhang Jue's expression changed. He strode forward, gripped the door handle, and immediately discovered the problem.

After trying twice, he said anxiously, "It's locked from the inside."

One of the cameramen put down his equipment. "I'll get the key from the manager."

Before he could leave, Xie Yuan stepped forward and pulled Zhang Jue aside. "There's no time. Stand back."

Zhang Jue, Mu Ze, and the cameramen stepped back, puzzled.

Xie Yuan took two steps back, drew a breath, and launched a flying kick.

Bang!

With a tremendous crash, the door burst open, swayed, and fell to the floor.

Zhang Jue and Mu Ze froze, and the cameramen looked equally incredulous.

Xie Yuan looked back. "What are you standing around for? Get inside."

Zhang Jue snapped out of it and rushed into the restroom.

In the livestream chat.

[Wow, Young Master Xie has training.]

[That was so cool. This is the first time I've thought Young Master Xie was so manly.]

[Door: sure, you're so noble, so amazing.]

[Door: that hurt like hell.]

[I'm staring at the door at home, and suddenly I have a bold idea.]

[Certified troublemaker above. Not just anyone can kick down a door like that. Without training, you could break your leg. Don't try this unless you're a professional.]

Xie Yuan turned back and told the cameramen, "Wait outside."

He entered the restroom with Mu Ze.

The cameramen all received Director Ma's instructions at the same time. "Do as Young Master Xie says."

In the livestream chat.

[Seriously, we can't watch again?]

[What are the cameramen standing around for? Go inside!]

[Who the hell does Xie Yuan think he is? Get in there!]

[Please, please let our Yaya be okay.]

[You haters, I'll remember you. I'll be cursing your whole families every day from now on.]

Everyone in the entertainment industry had their share of haters, and seeing that something had happened to Tan Yaya, those haters were especially active.

Director Ma gave a direct order. "Mute all the accounts stirring things up in the livestream chat."

If something really happened to Tan Yaya on the show, the dating show Heartbeat Means Action would have no reason to continue.

Inside the Bar's restroom.

Though the restroom was large, the absence of people was particularly noticeable.

A voice instantly caught the attention of the three men entering the restroom.

"Open the door. Even if you hide in there, it's only a matter of time before I get it open."

"You might as well cooperate. Then I can be a little gentler with you."

Someone stood in front of a stall door, fiddling with something in his hands.

"Stop!" Zhang Jue cried out, running forward.

The person turned around. Above the women's clothes was a rugged man's face.

He flew into a rage. "You got here fast. This is all your fault! Why should you be the one Yaya favors? She's mine!"

The Cross-Dressing Man pulled a fruit knife out of his clothes and charged at Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue had been running too fast to stop in time. He could only watch as the fruit knife stabbed toward him.

At the critical moment, Xie Yuan grabbed Zhang Jue and yanked him backward.

Xie Yuan raised his own foot and kicked.

The powerful kick struck the Cross-Dressing Man's wrist.

Crack!

"Aah!"

The sound of breaking bone rang out alongside the Cross-Dressing Man's cry.

Before the Cross-Dressing Man could cry out again, Xie Yuan kicked him in the abdomen.

The Cross-Dressing Man lay curled up on the floor.

Xie Yuan crouched down and placed a hand on the Cross-Dressing Man, only for another hand to suddenly close over his.

Looking up, Xie Yuan met Mu Ze's gaze. "I'll do it."

Mu Ze crouched down, stripped off the Cross-Dressing Man's outer garment in a few quick movements, and pulled hard.

With several ripping sounds, the garment tore into pieces.

Mu Ze quickly tied the strips together and bound the Cross-Dressing Man.

Fine beads of sweat covered the Cross-Dressing Man's forehead, and the pain in his abdomen made his vision swim.

He had never imagined a single kick could hurt this much.

Seeing that the man was tied up, Zhang Jue stepped forward and knocked on the closed door. There had been no sound from inside since the very start.

"Teacher Tan, it's me."

Zhang Jue made his voice as gentle as possible.

He waited a while, but there was still no response.

Panic gripped Zhang Jue, and he could no longer worry about anything else. "Yaya, it's me, Zhang Jue. Could you please answer me?"

Listening closely, one could hear a slight tremor in his voice.

After a while, the door slowly opened from inside.

Tan Yaya's eyes were somewhat vacant as she cautiously peered through the gap.

When she saw Zhang Jue, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Zhang Jue's heart ached, and he ventured, "Yaya, could you come out?"

Tan Yaya slowly opened the door, coming fully into their view.

Apart from her slightly disheveled clothes, she hadn't been hurt, and Zhang Jue let out a breath of relief.

He stepped back a few paces, putting some distance between himself and Tan Yaya. Without rushing her, he waited for her to come out on her own.

After experiencing something like that, no one could immediately handle contact with the opposite sex.

Tan Yaya remained still, her tears continuing to fall.

Xie Yuan approached Zhang Jue and said, "Find a female friend to come comfort Teacher Tan first."

Zhang Jue took out his phone. His gaze lingered on a name for quite a while before he made the call.

Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, Zhang Jue said, "Come to the Women's Restroom."

Two or three minutes after the call ended, the Bar's owner hurried in.

Seeing the person lying on the floor and Tan Yaya's condition, she understood what had happened.

Anger surged through her. She kicked the person on the floor before stepping forward.

"This happened because of our Bar's negligence."

Zhang Jue's expression was grim. "We can discuss the Bar later. Comfort Yaya first."

The Bar's owner approached and stopped two steps away from Tan Yaya, making no rash move to touch her.

"Heavenly Queen Tan, it's all right now. The bad guy has been caught. He won't hurt you again."
