Zhang Hongmei didn't study with them; this time, Wang Xinyi tutored her in foreign language. She went back to her room, glanced at the translation, and thought it was acceptable. She felt there was still room for improvement, and Wang Xinyi was very meticulous. She marked the translated content with the corresponding page numbers in the book, so these unprofessional people wouldn't have to draw diagrams.

I wrote a letter to Zhang Shouyi, inquiring about the machinery and the farm in the area, telling him my ideas and asking for his advice on whether they were feasible.

I have plenty of money here, enough to buy machinery. Of course, it would be best if we could solve this without resorting to such underhanded means.

But another voice inside me said, "There's nothing immoral about this. You spent money to buy the machinery, so there's nothing wrong with researching it yourself."

I still have to wait for Zhao Tiancheng to return before I can make a final decision. Thinking of this, I thought of those annoying people again. They really just made trouble for no reason. They don't even know what they did here. Do you think a newcomer like me can be invited to this kind of gathering? They don't think at all.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong, that way everyone can relax.

When Zhang Shouyi received Zhang Hongmei's letter, he replied with a smile. This girl is so oblivious; she must have just skimmed through his previous letter, without even reading it as carefully as I have. Having a wife like this is truly speechless; she's even more rational than me. It's really driving me crazy.

Zhang Hongmei waited inside for Zhang Shouyi's letter, then immediately sent it out. After reading it, she pouted. What difference did this make? She was supposed to make all the decisions herself, but she had no idea what to do!

Zhang Hongmei was worried here, while Zeng Zhongkang and the others were not having an easy time either.

The two drove over, and Zhao Hao was still complaining in the car about these troublemakers who only cause trouble.

But he ran into Zeng Zhongkang, so he just kept muttering to himself.

The gathering place turned out to be a bar, with a nicely decorated exterior and colorful lights.

Is this the place?

"Well, let's go in and take a look. It's always been here, so it shouldn't have moved. Let me tell you, this place has a lot of history. If we can bring them out peacefully, let's not cause any conflict. It won't do us any good. I really don't want to get involved with them; it might just cause me a lot of trouble." Zhao Hao was grumbling, clearly very unwilling.

Zeng Zhongkang followed behind Zhao Haozheng. The lights inside were dim. Soft music was playing, and the bar was full of people, with the bartender constantly refilling drinks for customers.

Zeng Zhongkang glanced around and spotted Kong Yushun and his group. They seemed to be having a great time, each holding a wine glass. Even from a distance, the smiles on their faces were clearly visible.

“Let’s find a place to sit down. If nothing happens, we shouldn’t show our faces. I’ll buy you a drink, so you can experience this kind of life.”

I don't drink alcohol.

"Heh, what else can you drink in a bar if not alcohol?"

"You can have a drink then." The two found a corner where they could be seen and sat down.

"You sit down first, I'll go get a bottle of wine. Even if you don't drink, you have to pretend." Zhao Hao had just finished arranging things for Zeng Zhongkang when he went to the bar. The two of them often came here for a short break, so they were very familiar with the bartender.

"David, a bottle of wine, please." Zhao Hao was sitting across from the bartender with a grin.

"Zhao, it's been a long time since you've come?"

"Busy with studies. How have you been? Did you manage to win over that pretty girl from last time?"

"No, her boyfriend is rich, so..." The bartender shrugged.

"Zhao, let me tell you, there's an amazing performance coming up today."

"Oh? Pole dancing isn't even considered top-tier anymore. I can't agree with your taste."

The bartender leaned closer to Zhao Hao and whispered, "I overheard that there's an Oriental Beauty striptease today?"

"Oh? That's something new. Did you use some kind of trick?"

"They said they used drugs. I just saw them put drugs in the wine. I guess those three oriental beauties won't make it through the day. And they even asked for three rooms."

"I understand, thank you David. Just pretend you don't know anything about it."

Zhao Hao left as soon as he finished speaking. The bartender was taken aback, then realized that they might know each other. He was terrified that he had exposed his information, so he quickly asked for leave to go home.

Zhao Hao came to Zeng Zhongkang's side and repeated what the bartender had just said in an annoyed manner, finally letting out an exaggerated sigh.

Zeng Zhongkang frowned after listening. He had noticed that the three of them were a bit different recently, and he had thought they were just promiscuous and lacked self-respect, but it turned out they had fallen for it.

"Zeng Zhongkang, let me tell you, those guys are no pushovers. If they try to fight back, they might not even make it out of this bar."

"Okay, go outside and drive the car over. Wait for me in the car, I'll be out in a bit."

"You can't go alone, let's go together."

"No need." Zeng Zhongkang stood up after saying that. Zhao Hao was staring at his back, feeling a little dazed. He suddenly realized that this was a real man. He probably didn't want him to go because he was afraid of causing trouble for himself.

I'd better not go there myself. If I really have to drive here, who knows what might happen?

Zeng Zhongkang went straight to their table and stood there. The seven men were already frightened, and the three girls were leaning against the men, tears streaming down their faces. They understood what was happening, but they just couldn't control their actions.

They all want to die now. They've received traditional education since childhood and simply can't accept this. But there's nothing they can do now.

Dong Yuping and Wang Minxia were practically seething with hatred for Jiang Mingyan. It was all her fault! She had said the three of them should unite, but it was only to ruin them. They cursed Jiang Mingyan in their hearts.

The seven men were all being held at knifepoint by their companions; otherwise, they wouldn't have stood by and watched such a shameless act unfold. They saw Zeng Zhongkang and felt a glimmer of hope.

Zeng Zhongkang stopped in front of their table. Without even looking at them, he spoke calmly and respectfully to the man who was holding three girls in his arms, "I'm very sorry to bother you, I'm here to take them home."

"Haha, you think you can just answer it like that?"

"Oh? So what do you want?"

"It's not good. I didn't force them; it was their own choice. What right do you have to interfere?"

“I am their person in charge, of course I have the right.” Zeng Zhongkang’s tone became somewhat firm.

Han Guangtai and Yan Yongxi, being older, exchanged a glance and suddenly subdued the two young men beside them. The other five men followed suit, but Yan Dongming and He Zhanhua were still injured.
