Chapter 281 Holding Firmly to the Golden Thigh We Almost Missed
Wang Kai spoke with great confidence, his spittle flying everywhere.
At this moment, Master Wu was already drenched in sweat and could no longer bear it, so he kicked Wang Kai in the buttocks.
"Ah—" Wang Kai exclaimed in surprise, and knelt down with a thud, almost prostrating himself in front of Ning Jinli.
He froze for a moment, then turned around in astonishment, "Third Master, why...why did you kick me?"
Old Master Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed, "Stop bragging to me! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll fucking kill you!"
Wang Kai panicked, "Third Master, where did I go wrong? Aren't your bodyguards top-notch mercenaries? What kind of bragging is this? Besides, if you just dodge a kick, Xinghan City will tremble, and both the underworld and the legitimate world will give you face... Ordinary people don't understand these things, but anyone with a bit of influence in Xinghan City knows your capabilities!"
"Wow, that's impressive?" Ning Jinli stared at Master Wu with a half-smile.
Wu Sanye broke out in a cold sweat that he couldn't wipe away no matter how hard he tried. He could only brace himself and walk up to Ning Jinli. He lowered his head and said cautiously, "Miss Ning... well, it's all just rumors spread by people in society. The rumors are getting more and more outrageous. I... I absolutely did not do anything illegal."
"No, Third Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so polite with this girl?" Wang Kai was almost speechless when he saw Third Master Wu's attitude.
Master Wu slapped him on the forehead, "Watch your mouth! This Miss Ning is my boss!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Kai's mind went blank on the spot.
Ning Jinli's two friends and three male classmates were all shocked.
Ning Jinli said calmly, "Third Master, Wang Kai is one of your men. How you deal with him is your business, and I won't interfere. But you know my personality. If I find out that one of your men is still as arrogant and domineering as him, you'd better watch out."
His tone was not harsh, but every word struck Wu Sanye's heart like a thunderclap.
Wu Sanye's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down and begged her for forgiveness.
“Miss Ning… I…” Mr. Wu swallowed awkwardly. “I will definitely handle it well, don’t worry. I, Wu San, promised you that I would never do anything wrong, and I will never break my promise. It’s just that our antique business is growing bigger and bigger, and we have become the largest antique industry leader in the country. The personnel structure below is huge and complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be some bad apples—”
“Alright, you don’t need to explain anymore,” Ning Jinli said calmly, looking at him. “Have Wang Kai apologize to Zhang Haoyang properly and make the necessary compensation. Then you take him and these people away from the hotel. In a while, let me know how you handled Wang Kai.”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Master Wu nodded repeatedly.
Wang Kai finally came to his senses and realized that he had kicked a hornet's nest.
Although it was hard to believe that the young woman in her early twenties was actually Third Master's boss, the fact was undeniable, and his fate was now in her hands. He hurriedly kowtowed to Ning Jinli.
"Miss Ning... I'm so sorry! I never thought I'd made a fool of myself. I was wrong! Please, Miss Ning, have mercy on me this time. I promise I'll never do it again!"
Wang Kai begged for mercy while kowtowing. He was already bruised and swollen from being beaten, and now his forehead was covered in blood from the kowtow. He looked both pitiful and terrifying.
Ning Jinli's eyes were cold. "Do you know you were wrong? You've just realized that your so-called background and power are no longer effective. You've gone from being able to easily crush others to being crushed. I gave you a chance, but you didn't realize the problem at all."
"Miss Ning... I... I really know I was wrong! I will never bully anyone again!" Wang Kai was so anxious that he wanted to hug Ning Jinli's leg.
Master Wu immediately reached out and gave him a big slap in the face. "Didn't you hear what Miss Ning just asked you for? Stop wasting time talking nonsense!"
Wang Kai covered his face, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Yes...I...I'll go apologize right now."
"Hurry up!" Third Master Wu kicked him again.
Wang Kai was filled with regret at this moment and obediently went to the private room of the party.
The group of people in the private room were completely unaware of what was happening outside, and they were all restless and uneasy.
When Wang Kai pushed open the door to the private room and appeared in front of them, they all dared not breathe.
Zhang Haoyang, in particular, was like a mouse seeing a cat. As Wang Kai approached him, his body trembled more and more violently, and his legs went weak uncontrollably. He was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.
To his surprise, just as he bent his knees slightly, Wang Kai knelt down in front of him first.
"Brother Haoyang..."
Wang Kai raised his head, trying his best to show a sincere expression, "I was very offended just now, I am really sorry, I apologize to you now, please forgive me."
"Wh...what?" Zhang Haoyang's face looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Si Ya, who was standing next to them, and a group of their college classmates around them were all petrified on the spot.
This 180-degree turn was so sudden and inexplicable that anyone would be bewildered.
"Kai-ge... what... what are you doing?" Si Ya reached out and touched Wang Kai's forehead. "Are you possessed?"
Wang Kai stood up and pushed Si Ya into Zhang Haoyang's arms, saying, "Brother Haoyang, from now on she's yours."
Zhang Haoyang and Si Ya remained completely bewildered.
Wang Kai thought for a moment, then took off his expensive watch and handed it over along with the car keys. "I bought this watch for over 800,000 yuan. It's a limited edition, and the price should have gone up since then. Plus, this sports car of over 1 million yuan is all compensation for you. Is that enough?"
"Huh? This..." Zhang Haoyang looked at the watch and car keys in the other person's hands, his mind still buzzing.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Wang Kai handed him the watch and car keys.
Si Ya panicked, "Kai-ge, what are you up to? The way you're acting... it's scaring me..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Wang Kai said, his posture as humble as could be. "I am sincerely apologizing, and I sincerely wish you two a long and happy marriage with many children."
"Young man Haoyang, do you accept my apology now?"
After speaking, Wang Kai looked at him with both eagerness and sincerity.
Zhang Haoyang was still unable to process what was happening; he couldn't understand how such a dramatic change could have occurred.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Kai said again, "How about... I kneel down and kowtow to you three more times? If you're still not satisfied, then... you can just piss on me and make me drink it. You can give me back exactly how I treated you back then."
“This…no need,” Zhang Haoyang didn’t know how to respond, so he accepted the watch and car keys. “Brother Kai, I forgive you.”
"Ah! Thank you, thank you!"
Wang Kai turned and left.
Upon reaching the door, he whispered to Wu Sanye's two bodyguards, "Brothers, you've been witnesses. I apologized as required and received their forgiveness. If Sanye asks about it later, you must tell the truth."
The two bodyguards, expressionless, grabbed his arms and tried to take him away.
Zhang Haoyang pondered for half a second, then hurriedly ran to the door and asked Wang Kai in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
"Sigh... young man, if I had known someone could protect you... I would never have dared to offend you... Never mind, there's nothing more to say..."
After saying this, Wang Kai left with his two bodyguards.
Afterwards, the group of henchmen and thugs outside the corridor also lined up obediently and left.
Zhang Haoyang pondered Wang Kai's words before he left, and his face gradually regained its usual smug and confident expression.
Although he didn't know who the person Wang Kai was talking about who could protect him was, as long as there was such a person, wouldn't he be able to stand tall again?
Moreover, the person who could protect him did not show up directly.
On the one hand, it means that the person did not want to reveal their identity; on the other hand, it suggests that the person must have a higher status and position than imagined.
Who could it be?
Zhang Haoyang racked his brains, thinking of everyone he knew, but none of them matched up.
"Haoyang..." Si Ya's voice suddenly rang out.
Zhang Haoyang came to his senses and found that Si Ya had come up behind him.
He turned around and saw that everyone else in the private room was looking at him with surprised and uncertain eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Haoyang asked casually as he put on the watch Wang Kai had given him.
Si Ya bit her lip, reached out and closed the door to the private room, and tentatively asked, "Wang Kai suddenly apologized and offered compensation to you, is it because... you did something?"
This was also the question the other university students in the party room wanted to ask, and everyone pricked up their ears and stared at him intently.
How could Zhang Haoyang waste such a good opportunity to show off? He immediately pretended to be mysterious and profound and said, "Actually, I didn't want to do this. I originally just planned to have a simple gathering with you as an ordinary person. I didn't expect such an accident to happen. Even when Wang Kai bullied me, I didn't intend to stoop to his level. But he went too far, so I had to use my little connections to warn him."
Upon hearing these words, everyone gasped, and the way they looked at Zhang Haoyang changed noticeably.
Besides surprise and awe, there was also worship.
Si Ya said incredulously, "Even someone as domineering and powerful as Wang Kai was brought to his knees by you. You... your connections are that amazing? Your fearful behavior in front of him just now... was all an act?"
Zhang Haoyang was secretly overjoyed. He continued to frown slightly, maintaining a deep expression. "Well, I don't want to stoop to Wang Kai's level. I was planning to swallow my pride and let him save face, then this matter would be over. Unfortunately... he's pushing his luck and doesn't understand my good intentions. Oh well, let's just consider it a lesson for him. I believe he'll behave himself in the future."
At this moment, Zhang Haoyang's image became more mysterious and imposing than ever before in the eyes of Si Ya and the other classmates, so imposing that they could only look up to him.
Si Ya reacted quickly again, tightly holding Zhang Haoyang's arm. With a pitiful expression, she said in a low voice, "Haoyang... I'm sorry, actually... I had no choice but to do that. You saw how terrible Wang Kai is. I... I was afraid he would kill me, so I went against my conscience and deliberately distanced myself from you, even saying some hurtful things. I'm really sorry..."
After she finished speaking, two lines of tears streamed down her face.
Her stance and choices shifted again and again until now, when she has finally made up her mind.
Since Zhang Haoyang is a man of hidden talent who can easily subdue Wang Kai with just a little bit of his connections, her wisest choice is of course Zhang Haoyang.
Regardless, she had to seize this last chance to restore her relationship with Zhang Haoyang and hold onto this golden opportunity she had almost missed.
Zhang Haoyang had always harbored feelings for her. Even though he was angry and saddened by her change of expression at the time, he softened instantly when he saw her shed tears.
"Xiaoya, I don't blame you." He gently wiped away Siya's tears with his other hand.
Si Ya was secretly delighted, but she had to play her part completely, so she put on an even more heartbreaking expression and asked softly between sobs, "I've hurt you so much, do you... do you still want to be with me?"
Zhang Haoyang looked at her tenderly and said softly, "Just like you said, you did that because you were afraid of Wang Kai. I actually saw it a long time ago. Xiaoya, don't worry, with me by your side, no one will be able to hurt you again."
"Haoyang..." Si Ya felt a surge of joy from head to toe, her eyes filled with tears, as she tried her best to look at him affectionately.
"Xiaoya, I love you..." Zhang Haoyang said, slowly lowering his head and moving closer to her red lips.
Si Ya immediately held her breath.
She hadn't forgotten what had been poured into the mouth of the person in front of her just over ten minutes ago.
Even though Zhang Haoyang had rinsed his mouth several times, he still... felt disgusted.
As he watched the other person close their eyes, he brought his mouth closer and closer.
Siya steeled herself, tilted her head back, and went to meet her.
The two kissed in front of everyone else.
Several male classmates who had followed Zhang Haoyang around like a lackey during their university days immediately applauded and cheered, leading the way in giving the two their blessings.
On the other side.
Master Wu has already left.
Ning Jinli planned to change locations and have a private get-together with Xiao Qidi and two good friends.
As a matter of basic etiquette, I should say goodbye to the other classmates I met at the gathering before leaving.
"Tingting, Xiaoyan, and the three of you," Ning Jinli earnestly instructed, "Please keep what happened in this private room a secret for me. I don't want to make a big fuss. Not only can you not tell anyone after we go to that other private room, but you also can't reveal it to them later. If anyone asks what happened after Wang Kai took us away, just say we were in another private room and nothing happened, and then Wang Kai and his gang left."
The three boys nodded vigorously, indicating that they would keep their mouths shut.
It's a joke. Even the big boss behind Wang Kai is like a quail in front of Ning Jinli. How could they dare to disobey Ning Jinli's instructions?
Tingting and Xiaoyan had mixed feelings and fell silent.
Ning Jinli felt nervous and grabbed the two of them, saying, "Don't misunderstand. That Master Wu is not some kind of gangster boss. I know all of this will seem very strange to you, but please believe me. When the time is right, I will definitely explain the situation to you."
“Jinli, I’m not misunderstanding anything,” Xiaoyan said softly. “I was just thinking, if I don’t tell Zhang Haoyang what happened here, won’t he not know that you helped him?”
