Chapter 2 Arrogance: She Walks Sideways in Shenzhen
The glass bottle containing the high-end foreign liquor was as beautiful as crystal, and it was also particularly beautiful when it smashed on the beast's head, with the murky yellow liquor flowing all over Wang Yongshun's head and face.
He was stunned by the blow, only feeling a chill on the back of his head. When he reached down and touched it, it was wet. The lights in the private room were dim, and Wang Yongshun hadn't yet realized that he had been slapped on the head.
But when his underlings had their place smashed in front of him on his own turf, he immediately flew into a rage and turned around to curse, "Damn it, which bastard dares to cause trouble on your grandpa's turf..."
He swallowed the rest of his words when he saw that the person who came was Bai Zhenzhen. Wang Yongshun hadn't expected it to be her. His face twisted for a moment, and he forced out a slightly ingratiating sentence, "Zhen, Zhenzhen, why are you back again?"
The Wang family's status in Pengcheng is only that of a nobody. Wang Yongshun dares not offend Bai Zhenzhen, who is the only daughter of Bai Chuxiong, the richest man in the city. As long as she doesn't break the law, she can do whatever she wants in Pengcheng.
Wang Yongshun claimed to be Bai Zhenzhen's friend, but in reality, he was nothing more than a lackey and sycophant. Even this position was highly competitive, as everyone in Shenzhen wanted to be associated with the Bai family.
So even if Bai Zhenzhen cracked his skull open today, or even if he smashed up his karaoke bar, Wang Yongshun wouldn't dare utter a sound.
The jarring music in the private room had been turned off by someone, and the colorful lights overhead swayed. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The two henchmen who had just witnessed Bai Zhenzhen hand Wang Yongshun a bottle of liquor as soon as she arrived were even more guilty and dared not breathe loudly.
But what they feared most came to pass. Bai Zhenzhen's gaze had just swept over, and before she could even speak, Shen Qing saw her and immediately broke free from the person holding her, crying as she rushed towards her.
"Sister-in-law, sob sob, sister-in-law..." Shen Qing was really frightened tonight. She had forgotten that Bai Zhenzhen didn't like her in-laws at all. She rushed over and hugged her tightly, crying pitifully.
Bai Zhenzhen was about to unleash her anger when Shen Qing hugged her, causing her to freeze. She wasn't familiar with Shen Qing, but seeing her crying so pitifully, she couldn't very well push her away. Besides, Shen Qing's ordeal today was partly her fault.
"Alright, it's alright now. With me here, they won't dare do anything to you." After comforting her, Bai Zhenzhen was too lazy to deal with those bastards anymore. She directly told Uncle Liu to call the police, and left the matter to the police.
If someone else had suggested calling the police, Wang Yongshun and the others wouldn't have been afraid, but since Bai Zhenzhen had said it, they immediately became anxious.
“Zhenzhen, Miss Bai, we were just joking with this girl. If you're upset, we'll apologize. We're all friends, it's just a small matter, there's no need to call the police, right?” Wang Yongshun was a little unsure of her thoughts.
Bai Zhenzhen kept saying she wanted a divorce in front of her friends and followers, and she didn't like her cheap husband at all. This girl called her sister-in-law, so logically she should hate her. Why does this girl seem to be standing up for her?
Only Wang Yongshun could talk to Bai Zhenzhen. Everyone else panicked when they heard that she was going to call the police, and some even tried to sneak away when no one was looking.
Before becoming Bai's driver, Uncle Liu was a retired soldier. With his large physique, no one could sneak away from the door of the private room.
The karaoke bar manager and several security guards were blocked in the outer corridor, but none of them dared to make a move because of the Bai family's background.
The men and women in the room were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Some cried out that they were innocent and said they had done nothing, while others slapped themselves in the face to apologize and begged Bai Zhenzhen to be magnanimous and let them off the hook.
Among them was the lackey who had just been fawning over Wang Yongshun, shouting that they had tricked Shen Qing into coming here for Bai Zhenzhen's sake. "Miss Bai, haven't you always wanted a divorce? We tricked her into coming here to teach her a lesson, to make her wiser and go back to persuade her family not to overestimate themselves anymore. We're all doing this for your own good, we really didn't do anything wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen subconsciously glanced at Shen Qing, who was still holding her arm, and immediately denied it, "All of you shut up! My husband and I have a great relationship. Who gave you permission to spread rumors like this!"
Bai Zhenzhen had indeed tried every means to get a divorce before, but from today onwards, or more precisely, from the moment she became convinced that things in her dreams would come true, she and Shen Huai'an were completely bound together. No one could persuade her to get a divorce anymore; she couldn't get one even if it meant death!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen looked at these people with hatred. If they hadn't caused all this trouble in her dream, she and Shen Huai'an wouldn't have divorced so quickly. If they hadn't divorced, her father wouldn't have been so angry that he died, and she wouldn't have been swindled out of all her family's property and ended up on the streets as a beggar. So it was all their fault!
At this moment, she selectively ignored what she had done to get Shen Huai'an to take the initiative to file for divorce.
"Don't use my name for everything! I didn't tell you to bully a young girl! You bunch of scum and beasts, what you're doing is illegal!" Bai Zhenzhen shouted angrily, hands on her hips, directing Uncle Liu, "Call the police right now and have them all arrested and thrown in jail!"
Shen Qing's friend, who followed her in, timidly raised her hand and said, "Me, another friend of ours has already reported it to the police."
"Then I'll take you out first. Uncle Liu will watch over things here." The private room reeked of cigarette smoke and alcohol. Bai Zhenzhen wrinkled her nose in disgust and pulled Shen Qing away from the karaoke bar first.
The corridor outside the private room was crowded with people who wanted to watch the fun. The karaoke manager and his men were also blocking the door, but as soon as Bai Zhenzhen gave them a look, they automatically made way for her, and no one dared to stop her.
In Pengcheng, the surname Bai is not common, and no one dares to mess with Bai Chuxiong's surname. Those who often come here have more or less heard of Bai Zhenzhen's name. She is the only daughter of the richest man in the country, a true young lady. If you mess with her, it is equivalent to offending Bai Chuxiong. Do you still want to live in Pengcheng?
Bai Zhenzhen led the two girls out of the karaoke bar without any hindrance. Just as they reached the entrance, they encountered another girl who looked anxious. Upon seeing them come out, she immediately came over.
"Chen Qing, are you alright? I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon." The girl had her hair in a ponytail and looked every bit the student.
"I'm fine, Yanan, Pingping, thank you for risking your lives to come with me today," Shen Qing had calmed down a bit by now. She sniffled as she thanked her two friends, then turned to Bai Zhenzhen and apologized, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't think things through and caused you trouble today."
"Why are you apologizing? Those people should apologize to you." Bai Zhenzhen led the three little girls to the car and waited for the police to arrive, while also learning about the whole story.
Shen Qing returned to school from the countryside today after her weekend holiday. Her mother, Zhao Xiuzhi, asked her to bring some fresh fruit and an old hen to her older brother and sister-in-law who lived in the city. However, when Shen Qing went to her older brother Shen Huai'an's place, she couldn't find him. She called him but no one answered. Later that evening, she had no choice but to call Bai Zhenzhen again. At first, no one answered, but when she finally got through, a man on the phone said that Bai Zhenzhen was drunk at a karaoke bar and asked her to go pick her up and take her home.
After getting married, Bai Zhenzhen had little contact with her husband's family and had never been to the countryside. Shen Qing didn't really know much about her sister-in-law's family situation. When she heard that Bai Zhenzhen was drunk at a karaoke bar, she was worried that something might have happened to her. She immediately called her older brother again, but no one answered and she could only leave a message. In the end, she was really worried about Bai Zhenzhen, so she asked two classmates and friends to come with her to the karaoke bar to pick her up.
She wasn't completely naive; she left two friends outside to wait for her before going in, and to call the police if she didn't come out within half an hour. However, Shen Qing was too inexperienced and didn't know how brazen those people could be.
“I left my phone here this afternoon. Those people found it and then tricked you into coming here,” Bai Zhenzhen said, looking at the three young girls. “You three are really brave. You didn’t even know where you were before coming here.”
The oldest of the three girls is only seventeen years old this year and they are all still in high school. Their families are very strict with them, and they have never been exposed to Shenzhen's nightlife. If they knew that karaoke bars were so chaotic, they probably wouldn't dare to go out at all.
To be honest, Shen Qing came because she was worried about her. Bai Zhenzhen remembered this favor and promised her that she would never easily forgive those who bullied her.
The karaoke bar that Wang Yongshun runs isn't exactly clean. Bai Zhenzhen used to be reluctant to meddle, but now that he's offended her, with the Bai family's word, even if the police just handle it impartially, it'll be enough to give them a hard time.
And that was indeed the case. Initially, after receiving the report, the police only planned to send two people to handle the situation. However, after Uncle Liu made another phone call, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, in conjunction with the local police station, dispatched several vehicles of personnel to seal off the entire karaoke bar.
After dealing with the matter at the karaoke bar, Uncle Liu returned to his car and reported the situation to Bai Zhenzhen. The police had already taken Wang Yongshun and the others away, and now they needed to go to the police station to cooperate with making a statement.
Bai Zhenzhen nodded, but it was almost eleven o'clock, so she asked Uncle Liu to take Shen Qing's two friends home first, and then they would go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
"Miss Zhenzhen, your phone has been found." Uncle Liu started the car and drove halfway before remembering something, so he quickly took out his pocket and handed over the phone.
This phone isn't one of those bulky brick phones from a few years ago. It's a new handheld phone from the foreign brand Motorola this year. The compact black body is not only easy to carry, but its design also perfectly matches Bai Zhenzhen's aesthetic. She bought it as soon as it was released.
The whole night was non-stop, and Bai Zhenzhen had almost forgotten about her phone. When she picked it up and turned it on, she saw a string of missed calls and the phone battery was down to just one bar.
Bai Zhenzhen was about to check her phone records when she noticed a familiar landline number calling her. She wondered who was making so many calls.
She pressed the answer button, and a slightly cold male voice quickly came from the other end of the line, "Miss Bai, is Xiao Qing with you?"
It's Shen Huai'an, her cheap husband!
Bai Zhenzhen paused for a moment when she heard Shen Huai'an's voice. She looked at Shen Qing sitting next to her, nodded, and replied, "She's with me. I just picked her up, and she's on her way to the police station now."
Shen Huai'an's breathing became heavier on the other end of the phone, and he immediately asked, "What happened?"
Bai Zhenzhen didn't intend to hide what happened tonight from her in-laws. She changed her posture, crossed one of her long legs, and was about to explain to Shen Huai'an when her phone beeped. At the crucial moment, it had run out of battery and shut down.
Bai Zhenzhen shrugged, holding her silent, black-screened phone. She didn't remember Shen Huai'an's office landline number. Since he was too proud to accept anything from the Bai family, she couldn't call back. She could only let him worry for now.
While he was on his way to the police station, Bai Zhenzhen also needed to think carefully about how to treat this cheap husband.
Inside the Pengcheng City Procuratorate, the procuratorate received a major case today, and everyone spent the whole day in meetings to discuss it. Originally, everyone was prepared to work overtime all night to handle the case, but Deputy Procurator General Shen, who was in charge of this case, suddenly stood up and said that he had some personal matters to attend to and asked everyone to go back and come back early tomorrow morning to continue handling the case.
The model workers in the institute had all spoken, and the employees, whose eyes were already bloodshot from exhaustion, cheered inwardly and slipped away as fast as they could.
Shen Huai'an pinched the bridge of his nose, grabbed his coat, and quickly left the procuratorate to take a taxi to the public security bureau.
