After saying this, the young woman quickly ran into the lobby, originally wanting to sit on the ground and prepare to act shalessly. However, seeing Lin Chuan ignoring her and walking into the massage room, she angrily plopped down on the sofa, panting heavily!
"Did you hurt her?" Lin Chuan walked into the massage room and stood beside Du Jinglan, asking softly. Even as he asked, Lin Chuan himself couldn't quite believe it!
Since Du Jinglan just arrived and definitely lacks experience, but this woman is obviously here to cause trouble, it's most likely that the young woman ca to the massage parlor to deliberately extort money!
"I don't even know what happened. I just gave her a head massage, and before I finished, she was like this!" Du Jinglan said with a face full of grievance. She has been a masseuse for so long, and this is the first ti she's encountered such a situation!
Lin Chuan gently patted Du Jinglan's shoulder, comforted her briefly, and then advised, "Just tell the truth later, we didn't do anything wrong, so we need not fear others' nonsense!"
Du Jinglan's eyes were red, and she nodded vigorously, following Lin Chuan out of the massage room.
The young woman sitting on the sofa initially shouted and showed an aggrieved look, but seeing no one else from the massage parlor coming to attend to her, she stopped shouting. She pulled out a cigarette from her fake leather purse, lit it, and started smoking leisurely!
When she saw Lin Chuan and Du Jinglan walk out, she hastily extinguished the cigarette and started shouting again!
"Oh my, I'm really out of luck today. How did I end up at such a scam massage parlor? If they injured , my life will be completely ruined!" The young woman cried and shouted while swinging her hands dramatically, looking akin to a theatrical performance!
Seeing the young woman's state, Lin Chuan and Du Jinglan were well aware. In Du Jinglan's mory, rural rascals liked to use such tones and gestures to gain sympathy from others, except the young woman was sitting on a sofa, whereas rural rascals would casually squat on the ground, preferably covered in dust!
"Where's your boss? Get him out here quickly! I'm not done with your shop today!" The young woman stopped shouting and spoke to Lin Chuan!
"Our boss is unavailable to co out. If you have any issues, you can tell us; we can make decisions too!" Lin Chuan wasn't annoyed. Since she was here to cause trouble, and considering the shop's business wasn't good anyway, he might as well accompany her for amusent!
The young woman was montarily speechless. According to the lines she'd prepared earlier, she should be negotiating with the boss by now and then making outrageous demands, but the boss wasn't coming out, which was a dilemma!
The young woman's mind was rapidly spinning, trying to figure out what to say next!
Du Jinglan and Lin Chuan sat separately nearby, neither bothering the young woman as she brewed her next words, busy with their own tasks, completely ignoring her presence, which infuriated the young woman even more!
"Fine, since your boss isn't coming out, get soone who can make decisions." The young woman said, "Rember, don't bring your boss's mistress to negotiate with , especially this mistress!"
As the young woman spoke, she pointed disdainfully at Du Jinglan, assuming she was nothing good!
Du Jinglan just wanted to retort but was stopped by Lin Chuan, who chuckled twice and spoke, "Jinglan i, is it necessary to retort against those less than human? If a dog bites you, would you bite it back? I definitely wouldn't!"
Du Jinglan, seeing Lin Chuan wink at her, felt her anger diminish and asked in feigned confusion, "If you're bitten by a dog, and you won't bite back, what would you do?"
"Good question!" Lin Chuan smiled, turned to the young woman with a harmless smile, and said gently, "I would use a stick from the roadside to hit it back, or use my hands if there's no stick. Only dogs bite people."
Du Jinglan pretended to suddenly understand, nodded lightly, showing agreent with Lin Chuan's statent.
The young woman's face turned dark, just about to lash out when Lin Chuan interrupted!
Lin Chuan pointed at the young woman, teasingly saying, "Hey, Auntie, I was talking about biting dogs, don't smartly admit it yourself!"
The young woman's face grew even darker upon Lin Chuan's words, montarily lost for words, only shouting loudly, "Alright, kid, you insulted , wait and see, this isn't over between us!"
After saying that, the young woman stood to leave the massage parlor, needing to retreat and reconsider now that her plan was disrupted!
Seeing the young woman ready to leave, Lin Chuan smiled, blocked her path, and said, "Auntie, please wait!"
"Pfft, you're the Auntie! I'm so young, and you call Auntie!" The young woman spat and said with disdain!
Lin Chuan didn't argue further and said amiably, "If you're leaving, please settle the massage fee first!"
"What?" As if hearing a huge joke, the young woman sat back down and said angrily, "Your staff injured , and instead of explaining, you want to pay the massage fee? Wishful thinking!"
Lin Chuan expected the young woman to say that and shrugged helplessly, saying, "If you don't pay, I'm sorry, you won't be able to leave here, or I'd have difficulty explaining to my boss!"
The young woman was utterly flustered, not because of Lin Chuan's words but because her plan was completely disrupted. Initially, she wanted to leave and discuss with her accomplice, but now they wouldn't even let her go!
Du Jinglan was worried about Lin Chuan suddenly blocking the young woman, but seeing the outco, she relaxed slightly. To deal with such rascals, one must be even more of a rascal!
After stubbornly confronting Lin Chuan in the massage parlor for over ten minutes, the young woman couldn't hold out any longer. She pulled a red wallet from her purse and threw the massage money onto the coffee table.
"Kid, you've got guts. Wait and see!" The young woman spat those harsh words before hurriedly running out!
Picking up the few CNY notes, Lin Chuan lightly shook his head, smacked his lips, and said, "With your competence, you dare to co out and try your luck!"
After the young woman left, Du Jinglan worriedly glanced at Lin Chuan and asked, "Do you think they'll retaliate against us?"
Lin Chuan reassured her, "Alright, don't worry about that. Later, let's check on if your boss has awoken in the hospital. I don't think we can head out!"
"Jinglan i, it seems there's one more thing you haven't done!" Both idly sat outside when Lin Chuan suddenly approached Du Jinglan with a smile!
"What thing?" Du Jinglan asked puzzled, slightly retreating to avoid Lin Chuan's close approach.
"A few days ago, you promised to give a massage, didn't you? Have you forgotten?" Lin Chuan reminded, "You forgot, but I didn't. Let's consider this as repaynt for sharing a al at my place!"
Lin Chuan ntioned it casually, not expecting Du Jinglan to agree so promptly without any hesitation, moving towards the massage room swiftly, lest the offer be withdrawn!
But before the two entered the massage room, a group of people pushed open the massage parlor door and stord in, giving an aura of hostility!
Unlike ng Hui's group, these people wore uniforms, five or six of them, led by a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears!
"Director Peng, this is the shop!" A skinny man whispered to the fat-headed man.
Lin Chuan walked up to them and asked, "Who are you…?"
"We received a report from the public that you are operating without a license here, and your masseuses lack the necessary credentials. Multiple custors claid to have experienced bodily pain after massages here, and it's said that you threatened those custors to remain silent, am I correct?" A man spoke passionately!
Lin Chuan smirked, realizing the young woman had dared to call the Bureau of Industry and Comrce on them!
"What are you smirking at? Are you acknowledging what we've just ntioned?" another man shouted loudly!
"I don't understand what you an, but our shop's credentials are all in order. I can show them one by one if you wish. Moreover, I am a masseur in this shop and can assure that all our masseurs have undergone professional training. We have never had incidents of injuring custors like you claid!" Lin Chuan earnestly explained, had they not been from the Bureau, Lin Chuan would have ignored them!
"Alright, enough with the extra words. Bring out your boss, or we'll shut this place down!" Peng Jianye, seeing Lin Chuan and Du Jinglan, mistook them for junior masseurs and impatiently said!
Du Jinglan looked at these people, angrily asked, "Our boss isn't here, but our credentials are complete. Why are you targeting us?"
