Chapter 21 Whispering Sweet nothings to Fifth Brother

Xie Chengsui has arranged to meet a friend at Jinyue today to discuss matters related to the casino.

He does business in Macau, and naturally, he doesn't want to miss out on the lucrative opportunity in Las Vegas.

As the group walked down the corridor, his assistant, Guanglin, noticed that he had suddenly stopped.

Several of their companions also stood there, not daring to move, waiting quietly.

Guanglin: "Young Master, what's wrong?"

Xie Chengsui put one hand in his trouser pocket, a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced back for a moment, and narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly.

He thinks he's spotted Fifth Brother's kitten.

Although he had never met Shen Jingni in person, Xie Chengsui had seen photos of her and the surveillance video that he had copied and given to Zhao Zonglan.

He is a very arrogant person, and he is even more demanding when it comes to beautiful women.

Ordinary cosmetics couldn't catch Xie Chengsui's eye, so the women who could stay by his side were all carefully selected beauties.

Despite his frequent visits to brothels and his extensive experience of worldly pleasures, he had to admit that Fifth Brother's kitten was an absolute beauty.

Once you've seen it, it's hard to forget.

He wouldn't dare compete with Zhao Zonglan for a woman.

only……

Xie Chengsui continued walking forward, holding the cigarette between his fingers, and instructed Guanglin behind him, "Go check that private room later and make sure Miss Shen is safe."

Guanglin: "Yes."

In fact, those people didn't dare to do anything to Shen Jingni, but Meng Qing might not be so bold.

Several elegantly dressed young men in the private room couldn't help but feel curious when they saw Shen Jingni.

The little princess of the Shen family is well protected by her family and rarely goes to such places.

Of the six, the one with the most influence was Wei Ze, who had some connection with Shen Jingni's brother, Shen Qingyan.

"Jingni, what are you doing here?"

Shen Jingni glanced at Meng Qing, who was huddled in the corner.

Her hair was a mess, and her clothes were torn and could not cover her body. She had been beaten by them, and her face and legs were covered in injuries.

Upon seeing Shen Jingni, a hint of shock flashed across her terrified eyes.

Shen Jingni approached and forced a polite smile: "Brother Wei, could you do me the honor of releasing Meng Qing?"

Since it was a gathering of acquaintances, she didn't bother with formalities.

Wei Ze sat casually on the sofa, a glass of wine in his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Seriously, little sister? You have to interfere when your brothers play with women?"

He took a sip of his drink. "Your Shen family has no connection with the Meng family, so don't meddle in other people's business."

"What if I absolutely have to intervene?"

Wei Ze frowned, put down his wine glass, and his young master temper flared up. "I won't touch you for Yan Ge's sake, but you can't take this person with you."

"If you want to watch us play, stay here. If you don't want to watch, then leave now."

Now that things have come to this point, anyone with common sense knows which choice to make.

They were giving her face.

These few people are determined to get rid of Meng Qing today.

But since Shen Jingni had come, she didn't intend to leave empty-handed.

She continued to patiently persuade him with a smile, "Brother Wei, why bother? How about I call the manager over and arrange some other activities for you?"

Another young man, who was smoking in the shadows, spoke up, "No, that's too boring."

Wei Ze shrugged at Shen Jingni: "See? My word doesn't count."

Shen Jingni: "But what you're doing is wrong. If someone reports this to higher authorities, it won't be easy to explain to your elders at home."

Wei Ze merely chuckled, showing no fear whatsoever.

"You don't need to worry about that, you're just a young girl."

As they were talking, someone walked over to Meng Qing, dragged her up from the ground, and threw her onto the sofa.

Some people even maliciously set up video cameras.

Meng Qing's voice was hoarse from crying, and she was so frightened that she was stunned, her body trembling with terror.

"No, don't come any closer."

Suddenly, her bloodshot eyes looked at Shen Jingni.

He clung to her as if she were a lifeline, pleading for help in near despair.

Shen Jingni felt she had terrible luck today, having encountered several difficult people.

That was a miscalculation.

She had no other choice but to go up and stop them.

Before they even got close, Wei Ze said, "Du Chen, hold Shen Jingni back."

"Since she wants to see it, then let her see it properly."

A man in a floral shirt rushed forward, grabbed Shen Jingni's wrist with great force, and pulled her to the other side.

At this moment, the door to the private room was opened again.

Guanglin strode in, glanced around, and asked coldly, "What are you all doing here?"

Of these people, apart from Shen Jingni and Meng Qing, everyone else knew Guang Lin.

Master Xie's personal assistant.

In many cases, Guanglin represents Xie Chengsui.

For a moment, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

"Hey, Assistant Guang, what brings you here?"

Wei Ze was the first to react. He went up to offer Guang Lin a cigarette, but Guang Lin refused.

Guanglin's gaze passed over him and landed on Shen Jingni. After confirming that Miss Shen was unharmed, he spoke expressionlessly: "Miss Shen is a friend of my young master. I came to see if she needs any help."

Upon hearing this, Du Chen, who had been holding onto Shen Jingni, immediately let go.

Shen Jingni rubbed her wrist, which had been scratched red, completely bewildered.

Friend? Who?

Wei Ze was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Isn't that a coincidence? Jing Ni is also my friend."

"Please rest assured, Third Master Xie, we were just joking. Not a single hair of Jingni's is missing."

Who dares to provoke Xie Chengsui, the living Yama of the capital?

Perhaps they're tired of living.

Guang Lin ignored him and looked at Shen Jingni again, his voice much gentler: "Miss Shen, do you need any help?"

Shen Jingni nodded without hesitation and pointed decisively at Meng Qing: "I want to take that girl with me."

Although she didn't know why Master Xie had suddenly appeared, at this point, she had no better way to save Meng Qing.

"Okay." Guanglin nodded slightly.

The bodyguards in black uniforms behind him understood and went to help the battered Meng Qing.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Jingni quickly took off her coat and wrapped it around Meng Qing.

She lowered her head, her expression indifferent. "Meng Qing, I'll only help you this once. How you walk the road ahead and where you end up is up to you."

"But I hope I didn't do something stupid today."

Meng Qing nodded, her voice choked with emotion.

She understood what Shen Jingni meant.

"sorry."

This is the apology I owe her.

Shen Jingni didn't say anything more.

The bodyguard took Meng Qing to have her wound treated.

Guanglin nodded to Shen Jingni in farewell, "If Miss Shen has nothing else, then I'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute."

Shen Jingni stopped him, her delicate brows furrowed, her face full of doubt: "Why would Third Master Xie help me?"

She didn't know Xie Chengsui at all, so how could she be his friend?

“Uh, this…” Guanglin scratched his head, looking troubled. “Miss Chen, I’m just following orders.”

He knew why, but dared not answer without permission, for the young master had not given any instructions.

"May I see Master Xie?"

"I want to thank him."

A few minutes later, in the VIP lounge of the Jin Yue Club.

Xie Chengsui paced anxiously in the room, his cigarette already quite burnt out, but he didn't take a single puff.

He asked Guanglin, who was standing by the wall, "Should I see him or not?"

Guanglin dared not speak.

Xie Chengsui, on the other hand, started analyzing it himself.

“Last time at Wuqi Manor, I tested him. Fifth Brother kept people hidden and wouldn’t let us go to see them without permission.”

"If we were to meet him without warning, he would definitely be angry."

"I was still hoping to ask him for help with the Las Vegas casino matter."

Xie Chengsui stroked his chin, "What if we don't see him..."

“That young girl is very likely to be my future sister-in-law. If I don’t give her face, and she brings up old grievances later and whispers in Fifth Brother’s ear, then I will also suffer.”

It's too difficult.

It's harder than negotiating any business deal.

My head hurts.

He tossed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and asked, "Did you call Chang An?"

Guanglin: "Yes, Mr. Zhao is on his way."

Xie Chengsui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's wait until the person in charge arrives before making any decisions.
