He slowed down the car a bit, but then saw the man suddenly place his hand on the girl’s shoulder.
"Manager Fan, have so self-respect," Shen Shuci was not soone with a temperate disposition either, she had been restraining herself, enduring his frivolous words, but she did not expect him to actually dare to make a move.
She slightly turned her body to avoid his touch, a glimpse of a taxi in the corner of her eye, and she turned to walk toward it.
She had thought that they would need to work together in the future, to keep things amicable for future interactions, but she didn’t expect the man to still follow her after she had clearly refused.
"Xiaoshen, you definitely know my feelings for you, you’ve just joined the company, there’s a lot you don’t understand, I can slowly tell you, as long as you..."
The man’s fingers touched her shoulder again.
Shen Shuci halted her steps, and the man getting out of the car only saw her fingers loosen, as the briefcase she was holding dropped to the ground, she grabbed Manager Fan’s wrist at the sa ti.
Manager Fan had also drunk too much, gazing at her holding his hand, a flicker of ecstasy crossed his heart, but in just that brief instant, his entire arm was suddenly pulled by a trendous force...
His body’s center of gravity shifted backward, his arm suddenly yanked, and with a crisp "crack—" the sound of bone breaking, accompanied by the man’s howl, pierced through the quiet night, sounding exceedingly eerie and agonizing.
A few scattered designated drivers in front of the KTV turned their heads in unison to look.
In such a sordid place, it was common to see drunken sleaze, so sober ones apologizing with a smile and those won with flushed cheeks being pulled into embraces, everyone regarded it as normal, so the commotion caused by Shen Shuci did not attract much attention.
But that miserable scream instantly woke everyone from their drowsiness.
The Huo family was already very close, watching the scene unfold before them with eyes wide and tongues tied.
They had thought:
This was a perfect opportunity for a hero to save a beauty, wasn’t this like Heaven helping them out!
Indeed, even the Heavens seed to feel the Huo family needed a mistress, covertly aiding them, but they had never imagined that once Shen Shuci made her move, she would dislocate the man’s arm.
"Shen Shuci, are you fucking crazy!" Manager Fan scread in agony, instantly becoming sowhat sober.
To be honest, since he knew Shen Shuci and had made lascivious remarks, daring to tease her repeatedly, he wasn’t really that drunk.
He was simply taking advantage of the alcohol to act like a hooligan.
Shen Shuci remained silent, just holding his hand, and with a slight force, she twisted his arm again, causing the man to howl once more; KTV staff ca out but seeing the situation, no one dared to intervene.
The girl had drunk a little, her face slightly flushed, but her gaze was extrely cold, staring intently at the person in front of her, as if she were a Rash, capable of taking his life at any mont.
"I see you don’t want to be in the company anymore... ah—"
The man didn’t finish his sentence before she twisted her wrist, causing him to howl in pain, sweat pouring down, his voice was even weaker than before, and even at a distance, one could hear his rapid breaths.
Shen Shuci released her hand, and the man imdiately protected his dislocated arm, the slightest touch causing intense pain.
The designated drivers and KTV wait staff afar were already pointing and discussing.
"What’s going on?"
"Can he still do his job? Pretending to be drunk to harass a young girl, huh? He didn’t expect to et his match. By the looks of it, this man might be this girl’s superior or sothing. Her days in the company won’t be easy now."
"Despicable, he deserves a beating."
...
n always take their pride very seriously, and right now, as he was bent over in pain, Shen Shuci glared at him, "Manager Fan, if there’s a next ti, I won’t let you off so easily. I might just break both of your arms, and also..."
Her gaze moved slightly down from his face, making Manager Fan’s back chill!
Damn, what was that girl looking at?
"If you think I’m easy to bully, then I can only tell you..."
"You found the wrong target!"
This young lady was considered compliant at the company, but ever since she returned from abroad, one would think she’d be very open-minded. Having drunk a little, Manager Fan started having designs on her.
Shen Shuci bent down and picked up her bag from the ground, brushing off the dust that had settled on it.
To her, this man seed less valuable than the expensive package.
But the man’s pride was pricked, and given Shen Shuci was young and his subordinate, being humiliated like this naturally stuck in his throat. Drunk, his brain overheated, and he lunged at her—
His hand had not yet touched her when Shen Shuci, swinging her bag, greeted his dislocated arm, causing the man to jump from pain and let out a miserable scream.
"Fuck—" the man cursed under his breath, not believing he couldn’t overpower a "slly girl!"
Shen Shuci subconsciously let go of the bag, ready to counterattack—
Manager Fan, with his good arm, lifted it, his fingers clenched into a fist, preparing to swing at her when his arm was suddenly grabbed!
"You motherfucker..." choked with rage, thinking it was soone trying to break up the fight, he turned and roared, "Get lost, I warn you, mind your own business, it’s none of your concern!"
After blurting out these words, Manager Fan imdiately regretted it.
The man was very tall; against his own height of just over 1.7 ters, he seed rather petite. Silhouetted against the light, his face was unclear, only his eyes were visible, like a ferocious beast lurking in the dark night.
Calm...
Yet full of deadly intent!
He struggled slightly, trying to free his wrist from the man’s grasp, to no avail!
He could clearly feel the disparity in strength between them, this man was much stronger than Shen Shuci, his grip on his wrist was like an iron hoop, causing intense pain.
Instinctively struggling, he kicked out at the man!
But his shin hit sothing that felt like a slab of iron, sending a cold sweat down his spine.
The next second...
The man made his move, applied a bit more force to his wrist, and Manager Fan let out a scream, then his whole body, like an arrow leaving the bow, was kicked away, sliding a distance on the ground, this ti he was in so much pain he couldn’t even muster the strength to call out.
Shen Shuci instinctively swallowed, her lips tightly pressed, as she stared at the person in front of her.
He simply walked over, bent down to pick up the bag that had fallen to the ground, dusted it off with two pats, and handed it to her.
"Mr. Huo... How did you get here?"
"My sister-in-law called to pick you up."
Naturally, this was Tang Wan.
"How long have you been here?" Shen Shuci glanced sideways at the man now crumpled and howling on the ground, both arms dislocated, also kicked, a sight not short of tragic.
But in the next second, her view was blocked, the man’s figure too tall and broad, not letting through any light, so that she couldn’t see even a sliver of the aftermath.
"Over two hours."
Shen Shuci paused, "You should have called ; I’ve been wanting to leave."
But she had no suitable excuse or reason.
"I will next ti."
Next ti?
Shen Shuci was stunned, but then a police car drove up in the distance, its siren slicing through the night, interrupting her thoughts. The interweaving red and blue lights heightened the tension in the atmosphere even further...
After the two duty officers arrived on the scene, they saw the man lying on the ground and looked around, "Who called the police just now?"
"It was !"
The man spoke with a cold voice, in the quiet of the night, it seed more oppressive.
Perhaps due to years of military service, his voice was a bit hoarse. Even though he didn’t speak loudly, his voice had a forceful impact, capable of penetrating to the bone.
At first, the officers didn’t see the man clearly, but as they ca closer, they exchanged glances, thinking they had recognized the wrong person...
