With a loud bang, the chair broke into several pieces. Chen Ningsheng loosened his tie and spoke in a tone that sounded both casual and chilling: "Hand over my wife."

Manager Li's legs went weak, and he shakily reached out to hold onto the chair behind him. Only a sliver of reason remained in his mind, reminding him that he could not admit it, he absolutely could not admit it, otherwise the consequences would be dire!

Holding onto this unacceptable thought, Manager Li took a few deep breaths and stammered, "Sir, we really haven't had any women come here. Are you... have you come to the wrong place?"

Then, he made a gesture as if he had just remembered something and said to Chen Ningsheng and Gu Yan, "We have female waitresses here. Are you looking for them? I'll have them come out right now."

Without waiting for Chen Ningsheng and Gu Yan's response, Supervisor Li shouted to the back, "Are you all dead? Get out here and get to work!"

Gu Yan stood to the side, looking at Manager Li with an expression as if she were an idiot. Having been in the industry for so long, he had seen all sorts of people, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so foolish and self-righteous.

Does denying it to the death mean everything will be fine? This fat guy is far too naive. That's Chen Ningsheng! He's offended Chen Ningsheng and still dares to try to fool him with this kind of idiot trick. This fat guy really should prepare his coffin.

Sure enough, Chen Ningsheng looked at Manager Li in front of him as if he were looking at a dead man: "My patience is limited."

Manager Li was startled, but he tried to reassure himself and forced a change of topic: "All the girls in our store are here. Gentlemen, please take a look and see if there's anyone you're looking for?"

Gu Yan turned his head and was startled. This coffee shop was indeed not a proper coffee shop. The waitresses here were all heavily made up, and their uniforms were not worn properly. Instead, the necklines were low and the skirts were almost up to their thighs.

Even the scarves tied around their necks were the most alluring bright red. There was nothing wrong with using bright red, but they deliberately tucked a little bit of the scarf into the neckline of their tops, creating a visual contrast that looked very tempting.

Chen Ningsheng's cold gaze swept over the group of waiters, his eyes filled with an almost chilling coldness: "Do you want to die?"

Manager Li chuckled and casually pulled a female server over to Chen Ningsheng's side, saying, "Sir, we really don't have any women here besides the servers. You can come into our store and look for them if you don't believe me."

Chen Ningsheng didn't say anything, but pushed the shy waitress who was leaning towards him aside.

The waitress was wearing high heels, and she had deliberately leaned against Chen Ningsheng, so she was not stable at all. When Chen Ningsheng pushed her, she immediately lost her footing and fell hard to the ground.

"Sir!" The waitress who had fallen to the ground was stunned and looked at Chen Ningsheng with disbelief.

She originally thought Chen Ningsheng was very handsome and thought she could take this opportunity to get close to him, but she didn't expect this man to be so unromantic and actually push her to the ground!

Chen Ningsheng didn't care what the waitress was thinking. His patience had completely run out, and no matter what he said, Manager Li was unwilling to hand over Xu Xinchen.

He simply waved to the bodyguards he had brought and said, "Come with me, let's go inside and look for something."

"With that, Chen Ningsheng led the way into the kitchen.

The bodyguards exchanged glances and quickly followed Chen Ningsheng. However, the fat, big-eared Manager Li, seeing them heading into the kitchen, showed a deep displeasure on his face and jogged forward, trying to block Chen Ningsheng's path.

"Sir, are you police officers or something? You've come to my shop out of nowhere, saying you're looking for some kind of wife, but I've never seen anyone like that in my shop. What gives you the right to come here and search around?"

Manager Li looked aggrieved and said to Chen Ningsheng, "Even if the police want to raid a store, they need to have a warrant. You're just someone with a little money who can afford to hire a few bodyguards. What gives you the right to be so arrogant?"

Chen Ningsheng didn't even bother to speak to Manager Li. He pushed Manager Li aside and strode into the kitchen. Just as he was about to reach the kitchen door, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the coffee shop. Chen Ningsheng stopped and turned to rush towards the entrance of the coffee shop.

At the entrance of the coffee shop, a group of people wearing floral shirts and holding steel pipes stood there, staring at Chen Ningsheng with arrogant expressions.

When Manager Li saw them coming, he showed a delighted expression as he ran upstairs and said to the leader, "Brother Long, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would have been bullied to death by these people."

As he spoke, Manager Li hid behind the man he called Brother Long: "Brother Long, this is the man who brought a group of bodyguards into my shop shouting and threatening violence. Brother Long, you know my shop is a small business, how can it withstand their messing around like this?"

When the man called Brother Long turned around, Manager Li forced out a few tears: "Brother Long, I already don't have much money to give you each month. If they keep messing things up like this, I won't be able to do business anymore, and I won't have any money to give you."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man called Brother Long pushed Manager Li's head. "Instead of wasting so much time talking to me, you should hurry up and take down that arrogant kid."

Manager Li gritted his teeth in anger, but still managed a fawning smile: "Brother Long, are you kidding me? If I could beat him up, why would I dare trouble you?"

The man called Brother Long seemed to be very pleased with Manager Li's flattery. He turned around and showed Chen Ningsheng his teeth, which were yellowed from years of smoking: "Boss, judging from your ability to afford so many bodyguards, you must be a rich man. Is there some misunderstanding between you and my little brother? Why don't we find a chair and sit down to talk?"

Chen Ningsheng watched them coldly. No wonder this Manager Li dared to be so arrogant and do such a thing; it turned out he had found a group of low-level thugs to act as his backers. This was really... quite interesting.
