The henchman laughed smugly, "Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I know what to do. Qin Ze will definitely not get away with this."

Zhang Yu nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Qin Ze in the distance, seemingly already imagining the scene of Qin Ze being taught a lesson.

Qin Yurou gently pulled away from Qin Ze, bit her lip, and patted her chest as if a little embarrassed. Then she explained to Qin Ze, "That guy named Zhang Yu is the one from earlier. He kept bothering me, he's really annoying. I didn't even invite him to this party, but he shamelessly followed me here."

Qin Ze smiled slightly and replied softly, "It seems he's quite interested in you."

Qin Yurou pouted and said angrily, "Interest? That's just annoying! He's always around me, like a fly, it's so irritating."

Qin Ze couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "Alright, don't be angry. If he bothers you again in the future, just tell me and I'll handle it."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Qin Yurou's eyes, and she nodded: "Yes, cousin is the best!"

Seeing Qin Yurou and her friends having fun at the party, Qin Ze's mood improved as well.

He suddenly felt the urge to go to the restroom. On his way there, he noticed someone was following him, but he didn't show any signs of nervousness or surprise.

As he entered the bathroom, several thugs followed closely behind and quickly locked the bathroom door from the inside.

"Hey kid, you must be Qin Ze, right?" one of the henchmen said with a chuckle.

Qin Ze turned his head, looked at them calmly, and said with a smile, "That's right, is there something you need?"

Another henchman sneered, "Not bad, kid, you actually dare to flirt with Qin Yurou, you're really not afraid of death."

Qin Ze pursed his lips slightly and replied indifferently, "We're just cousins, you're overthinking it."

The third henchman stepped forward, a smirk playing on his lips, and said mockingly, "Oh? Cousins? Doesn't sound like it. Brother Zhang Yu has a thing for Qin Yurou, so you'd better watch out."

Qin Ze remained calm and unmoved: "Zhang Yu, right? I understand."

Seeing Qin Ze's mocking attitude, Zhang Yu's henchmen mistakenly thought he was just brushing them off. They became even more arrogant and threatened viciously, "Kid, you better listen carefully. You are absolutely not allowed to have any contact with Qin Yurou again, or you will regret it."

Qin Ze sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "You'd better get lost before I lose my temper!"

These words further enraged Zhang Yu's henchmen, one of whom roared, "Get him! Don't be afraid of him, beat him up!"

Just as the henchmen were about to make their move, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and a bespectacled boy walked in. Seeing a group of people surrounding Qin Ze, he angrily shouted, "What are you doing?! Causing trouble at a party, are you ever going to stop?!"

The boy was Qin Yurou's friend. He stood there angrily, almost rushing forward to stop the scene.

He knew that Qin Ze was Qin Yurou's cousin and cared a lot about her, so he couldn't remain silent when he saw this scene.

Zhang Yu's henchmen panicked and were startled when they heard the boy's reprimand. They were usually arrogant and domineering, but they knew that causing trouble at a party was inappropriate.

At this moment, Qin Ze glanced coldly at the boy with glasses, and a thought flashed through his mind. He realized that this boy was Qin Yurou's friend and had come to help. He turned and walked towards the door, ignoring Zhang Yu's henchmen.

The bespectacled boy glared at Zhang Yu's henchmen, his tone still unfriendly: "Get out of here right now and stop causing trouble. Qin Yurou will handle her own affairs."

The thugs were so intimidated by the bespectacled boy's imposing manner that they dared not resist. They gritted their teeth and retreated, and the restroom returned to silence.

They recognized the bespectacled boy in front of them; he was someone of Zhang Shao's caliber, someone they couldn't afford to offend.

The bespectacled boy glanced coldly at their departing figures, then turned to Qin Ze and smiled slightly: "They're really annoying, don't mind them."

Qin Ze smiled faintly and nodded in gratitude: "Thank you for your help earlier."

The boy with glasses shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just don't like seeing this kind of scene either. My name is Li Ming."

Qin Ze nodded slightly and smiled, "Qin Ze, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for what happened earlier!"

Li Ming smiled and said, "You're Yu Rou's cousin, so you're our friend. If a friend is in trouble, I'll naturally help!"

Qin Ze smiled and nodded. He had a good impression of the bespectacled man who had unexpectedly appeared, but he didn't like too much attention. So he nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Zhang Yu's henchman returned to Zhang Yu's side and reported what had just happened.

After listening to the story in anger, Zhang Yu lost control of his emotions. He suddenly pulled his hand out and slapped one of the henchmen hard across the face, cursing with satisfaction, "You bunch of useless trash! You can't even handle a kid!"

The beaten henchman covered his face, lowered his head, and remained silent. The other henchmen also looked embarrassed, but dared not put up any resistance.

Zhang Yu was still furious. He snorted coldly, suddenly took out his phone, and dialed a number.

The person on the other end of the phone was named Hu Zi. He was a level three expert and Zhang Yu's capable assistant, responsible for handling troublesome matters.

As soon as Tiger heard the phone ring, he immediately asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yu said coldly, "Someone has upset me, and I want you to teach them a lesson."
