A warm feeling welled up in Qiao Wanwan's heart, and for some reason, she suddenly felt relieved.

She felt that this man possessed a magical power that made people involuntarily believe his words.

The hotel manager rushed over quickly, glanced at Zhan Jingting, and no one noticed the hint of fear that flashed in his eyes. He simply said, "Please leave immediately."

Gu Xulin sneered, "You're being too polite. There's no need to use the word 'please' with this kind of person."

“That’s true.” The person in charge nodded. “Mr. Gu, you’d better get out of Platinum Palace immediately.”

"Did you hear me? Get up now... Who are you telling to get lost?"

The person in charge said, word by word, "Mr. Gu, you and your guests, get out of here. Platinum Palace will not allow you to continue hosting banquets."

Everyone: "......"

Gu Xulin couldn't believe it. "I paid to host a banquet here, what right do you have to breach the contract!"

"Mr. Gu, rest assured, we will pay double the penalty for breach of contract in accordance with the contract. But now, you must leave immediately, or I will call security."

Gu Xulin was about to speak when Gu Yanfeng stopped him.

He lowered his voice and said, "Platinum Palace has a mysterious background. We can't confront them head-on. Let's go."

"Dad, if we're really kicked out like this, the Gu family will lose all face!"

“This man in the wheelchair is no ordinary person, and judging from his appearance, he must have some connection with Platinum Palace. We shouldn’t suffer any losses now.” Gu Yanfeng raised his voice and said, “Everyone, I’m really sorry for today. Please go back first. I will host a banquet for you all when my son and Yuqi get married in the future.”

Qiao Yuqi was so upset that she burst into tears. She had been looking forward to this engagement party for a long time, but she never expected it to be ruined like this!

She glared at Qiao Wanwan fiercely, then ran away crying.

Gu Xulin hurriedly chased after him.

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but laugh. For five years, Qiao Yuqi had never stopped pretending to be a kind and innocent little white flower in front of others. This was the first time she had lost control of her emotions like this.

The guests left one after another, leaving only three people in the large and beautiful banquet hall.

Zhan Jingting raised his hand, and the person in charge quickly nodded respectfully and left.

Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized what was happening and looked at their clasped hands. "Let go of me!"

Zhan Jingting then released his hand and said, "You just said I'm your true love."

"...That was a deliberate attempt to provoke Gu Xulin, can't you tell?"

"So I'm just a tool you grab to provoke other men?" A dangerous glint flashed in the man's eyes. "Qiao Wanwan, are you tired of living, huh?"

Qiao Wanwan swallowed nervously and quickly changed the subject, "Why are the people from Platinum Palace protecting you?"

Zhan Jingting said casually, "We just happen to know each other."

"Really?" Qiao Wanwan looked at him suspiciously. "I don't get the feeling it's that simple."

"Now is not the time to discuss this." The man's eyes suddenly turned dangerous. "Madam, shouldn't we be discussing how I am superior to your ex-fiancé both in and out of bed?"

Qiao Wanwan's face flushed red to her ears in an instant. "I said that on purpose, you can't take it seriously!"

"If others can take it seriously, why can't I, the person involved, take it seriously?" The man's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Besides, what you said is true."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

Recalling that night, Qiao Wanwan's face turned as red as if it could bleed. "I'm hungry."

"I'll take you to get something to eat."

"Um."

The two took the elevator to the underground parking lot. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Zhan Jingting sensed something was wrong. "Wanwan, wait a minute."

Qiao Wanwan stopped in her tracks. "What's wrong?"

There's an ambush.

"Huh?" Qiao Wanwan looked around. "No."

Just as Zhan Jingting reached for his phone, a dozen masked men rushed out from the surrounding corners and surrounded them.

Zhan Jingting immediately shielded Qiao Wanwan behind him, saying, "You go into the elevator first!"

"Let's go together!" Qiao Wanwan pressed the elevator button, but the elevator was going up and there was no way to get in.

A group of people had already surrounded them, each holding a stick.

The leader of the group spoke arrogantly, "A cripple and a lame man, how dare they be so insolent? Today, I'll show you what happens when you offend the wrong people!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the stick came crashing down on Zhan Jingting's head.

Zhan Jingting raised his hand, blocked the stick, and swiftly snatched it away.

Seeing this, the others began to surround and attack!

Qiao Wanwan tried to help, but Zhan Jingting tightly protected her between the wheelchair and the elevator door.

"Master Zhan!" Jiang Dong rushed over with several bodyguards in black and engaged in combat with the other party, diverting their attention from those who were besieging them.

"Zhan Jingting, are you alright?" Qiao Wanwan hurriedly checked Zhan Jingting's injuries; she had witnessed him being hit several times!

"It's nothing." Zhan Jingting threw away the stick in his hand, supported his left arm with his right hand, and frowned deeply.

"Is your arm injured? Let me see!"

Just as Zhan Jingting was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man wielding a stick charging towards them, his target Qiao Wanwan!

In the blink of an eye, Zhan Jingting maneuvered his wheelchair around and pulled Qiao Wanwan into his arms to protect her!

Qiao Wanwan felt a sudden dizziness and before she could react, she heard a muffled groan.

"Master Zhan!"

Jiang Dong rushed over and subdued the man who had attacked him.

Qiao Wanwan understood what had just happened and turned pale with fright. "Zhan Jingting, are you alright?"
