Chapter 288 Standing Before Her for the First Time

Shen Zhantang's eyes darkened, and he flashed away.

With Su Xier's timely reminder, he quickly dodged.

The thug missed his target, and Su Xier seized the opportunity, grabbed his arm, and threw him off the stair railing to the ground floor.

A fall from a one-and-a-half-story building won't kill you. But nightclubs have high ceilings; a fall from there is almost guaranteed to leave you half-dead.

"The young master said! Beat them to death as long as they don't die!"

Suddenly, someone roared, and the Donglian men, their faces contorted with rage, pulled out their weapons and instantly engaged in a fierce battle with Shen's men.

Although they didn't have guns, some of them were carrying machetes, so the situation was still extremely dangerous!

For a moment, the nightclub was filled with angry shouts and curses, almost enough to tear the roof off.

Blood splattered out from time to time, spraying onto the walls, creating a scene as terrifying as a crime scene, making people tremble with fear!

These gangsters rarely use guns. If a shootout breaks out, especially in Beijing, they'll inevitably face severe police punishment and get into serious trouble. Therefore, they generally only use melee weapons.

In this way, even if they beat each other to death, it would at most be a gang fight.

If you cripple someone, just pay compensation and it's over. If you kill someone, just send a few scapegoats to jail for a few years, and it's easily resolved.

It was with this wicked plan in mind that the people of Donglian dared to take such a dirty trick on Shen Zhantang.

Even if we can't kill him, cutting off his arms and legs would at least be a way to vent their anger!

However, none of Shen's subordinates were pushovers.

However, since the other party had knives, several of Shen's bodyguards were slashed to varying degrees, and blood was everywhere.

Su Xier protected Shen Zhantang the whole time, slashing at her with one sword after another, but Shen Zhantang, burdened by her, was still able to easily dodge.

Clearly, she was quite skilled; these thugs were no match for her!

Just then, Su Xier suddenly felt a spasm in her lower abdomen, followed by dizziness.

She knew it was morning sickness.

But why now of all times!

"Well--!"

Just as Su Xier felt dizzy, she heard Shen Zhantang groan in pain, and then her cheeks felt wet and hot.

The next second, her mind cleared, and her pupils dilated sharply—

She saw Shen Zhantang's tall and slender figure blocking her way. His left arm had been stabbed, and blood was gushing out, soaking his suit in red—a shocking sight!

"President Shen!" Su Xi'er turned pale with fright, her heart skipped a beat.

In her memory, this was the first time this man stood in front of her and shielded her from harm.

She never dared to hope that such a day would come, but it did.

Su Xier's eyes instantly reddened, and she almost burst into tears.

Shen Zhantang's handsome face was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain. He snatched the knife and slashed it across the thug's chest. Then, he kicked the thug with a spinning kick, sending him flying downstairs.

"Su Qier! Are you looking for death?!"

Shen Zhantang glared at Su Xier, gritting his teeth, "Who's whose bodyguard? Are you getting old? Why are you so slow-witted?!"

A sour, hot sensation rushed into Su Xier's nostrils, but she forcefully suppressed it and quickly lowered her head:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen."

As before, there was no explanation.

But this time, Shen Zhantang inexplicably detected a hint of grievance in her muffled, trembling voice.

Shen Zhantang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he pursed his lips. Even though the wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, he didn't complain anymore.

The two groups fought fiercely, and Su Xier and another bodyguard broke through the encirclement and escorted Shen Zhantang to the door of the private room.

From inside the door came Shen Yunlang's desperate cries:

"Waaah... Don't touch me... Help! Brother, come save me!"

"Yun'er!"

Shen Zhantang felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and roared as he kicked the door open.

The dimly lit room was filled with smoke, and the coffee table and floor were a mess, in a state of utter disarray.

As soon as she entered, Su Xier caught her breath and covered her mouth and nose.

She not only smelled smoke, but she also smelled another strange odor.

Then she noticed the white powder on the glass coffee table and the used syringe on the floor.

I couldn't help but feel nauseous and terrified!

The scene before him struck Shen Zhantang like a thunderbolt, pushing him to the brink of emotional collapse.

His most beloved younger sister was held tightly in Gao Sheng's arms. The man held a syringe in his right hand, which was pressed against Shen Yunlang's slender neck. The needle had already pierced her skin, and bright red blood was seeping out.

"Brother! Save me...!" Shen Yunlang was crying his eyes out, his clothes disheveled, as if he had been humiliated.

Shen Zhantang nearly lost control, roaring hoarsely, "Gao Sheng! If you dare touch my sister, I'll fucking skin you alive!"

"President Shen, your sister... smells so good." Gao Sheng, with dark circles under his eyes, buried his head in Shen Yunlang's neck and inhaled deeply.

Su Xi'er noticed that something was wrong with him.

He must have overdosed, and judging from the scene, he had used more than one type of drug.

In other words, he may not even know what he is doing right now.

In other words, he might be capable of anything.

"Get your filthy mouth off my sister!"

Shen Zhantang's temples throbbed with veins, and he was about to rush forward when Su Xier grabbed him and whispered a reminder:

"President Shen, we can't act rashly! Gao Sheng is high on drugs and is acting like a madman. If we rush over and anger him, and that needle really goes into the Second Miss's neck, it will be disastrous!"

A chill ran through Shen Zhantang's limbs and bones.

That needle was no different from a dagger; it was deadly.

At the same time, the door to the private room closed, and four more thugs from the East Alliance emerged from the shadows, staring at them menacingly.

Su Xier observed her surroundings discreetly, her heart clenching tightly.

Just now, she made a mistake that resulted in Shen Zhantang being injured. This time, she wouldn't allow herself to make another mistake.

She was calculating how likely she was to defeat all four of them if they attacked together.

"Brother... I'm so scared..." Shen Yunlang sobbed uncontrollably, on the verge of breaking down.

"Yun'er, don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you!" Shen Zhantang comforted her in a deep voice, his mind in turmoil, his heart even more chaotic.

Gao Sheng licked his lips and grinned mischievously, "President Shen, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? I just wanted to make friends with your sister, why are you so nervous?"

"Release my sister, don't hurt her."

Shen Zhantang finally dared not confront him directly; he couldn't risk his sister's safety. "What do you want? I'll give it to you!"

"Tsk, I already said I wanted to be friends with your sister. Not only did you refuse, but you also brought so many people and wrecked our Donglian venue. If I just let you take her back like this, where would I, the young master of Donglian, put my face? How would my underlings view me afterward?"

"Stop talking nonsense! What do you want in return for releasing them?!"

"Tell your sister to go home. Who am I going to play with tonight? The night is so long, and I'm so lonely and cold!"

Suddenly, Gao Sheng's sinister gaze slowly moved to Su Xier's bright and outstanding face, his lewd eyes scanning her up and down. "President Shen's female bodyguard is quite attractive. You keep her here to keep me company for the night. I'll return your sister to you."
