Tong Xiaohuai quickened her pace and walked towards the ghost.
"Young Miss!"
The manager, who was standing by the door, greeted Tong Xiaohuai respectfully as soon as he saw her.
Upon hearing this shout, someone in the noisy crowd turned around; it was Li Lin, the KTV's head manager.
"Young Miss..."
Tong Xiaohuai simply nodded at him, parted the crowd, and walked towards Uncle Ming's side. As a senior manager, how could he not even handle something this simple?
Tong Xiaohuai wasn't stupid; how could she possibly give Li Lin a friendly look now?
At this moment, Uncle Ming was explaining something to several police officers. On the sofa against the wall, several people were leaning back, their faces full of smug and arrogant expressions.
Tong Xiaohuai stood next to Uncle Ming. Uncle Ming heard the noise and was still talking to the police officer when he looked over and saw Tong Xiaohuai. He frowned slightly.
Tong Xiaohuai knew that Uncle Ming was blaming her for not listening to advice and insisting on getting involved in this mess.
But Tong Xiaohuai knew in her heart that if she didn't step forward today, it would be difficult for her to establish authority among her brothers in the future.
As the leader, in such a critical moment, one should step forward to take charge, rather than hiding behind others and feigning illness or death.
"Officer, don't waste your breath arguing with this old man. The beautiful woman behind him is the real boss."
Before Uncle Ming and Tong Xiaohuai could exchange words, the arrogant man leaning back on the sofa pointed at Tong Xiaohuai and informed the police officer.
As soon as he said this, both Tong Xiaohuai and Uncle Ming immediately understood that this group of people were clearly targeting Tong Xiaohuai.
She narrowed her eyes, her sharp gaze meeting the man's directly.
The man had a provocative look on his face, with the corners of his lips turned up and his eyes showing disdain.
Tong Xiaohuai squinted at the man for a while, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
"Sir, do you know me?"
Tong Xiaohuai suddenly smiled, stepped past Uncle Ming, leaned forward, and extended her hand to the man, "Hello, my name is Tong Xiaohuai!"
The lights weren't bright enough, so she had to get closer to see the person's face clearly.
The man was clearly taken aback by Tong Xiaohuai's amiable manner. He paused for a moment, straightened up, and looked at Tong Xiaohuai with a playful smile.
"Liu Yong!" he said, extending his hand to Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai shook hands with him, her probing gaze shifting from him to the men of similar age standing beside him.
"Mr. Liu, please forgive me if I have offended you in any way tonight! We can discuss this calmly, there's no need to trouble the police officer, is there?"
Liu Yong's amusement deepened as he glanced contemptuously at the people behind Tong Xiaohuai, finally fixing his gaze on Uncle Ming.
"Mr. Ming, look at this, your boss now knows what's good for him!"
After saying that, he beckoned to Tong Xiaohuai with his finger, signaling her to come over.
Just as Tong Xiaohuai was about to bend down, Uncle Ming, with a dark expression, grabbed her arm. "Xiaohuai, ignore him!"
Tong Xiaohuai turned to Uncle Ming and gave him a reassuring smile, "Uncle Ming, it's alright!"
After saying that, she leaned forward again, her face getting closer and closer to Liu Yong. Liu Yong laughed even more heartily, reaching out his hand, which was about to touch Tong Xiaohuai's face.
Uncle Ming and the bodyguards behind her panicked and were about to rush over to protect Tong Xiaohuai when a dark shadow flashed past them. Then, "slap! slap!" two crisp sounds rang out.
When everyone looked closely, they saw Liu Yong staring at Tong Xiaohuai with an incredulous expression, and on his face were two very clear red handprints!
"Officer, you saw it too, right? This Mr. Liu was trying to harass me. I was acting in self-defense!" Tong Xiaohuai had already straightened up and blinked innocently at the police officer next to her.
Liu Yong was slapped twice in front of everyone, how could he bear it? He stood up abruptly, as if he was about to pounce on Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai was extremely skilled and dodged away in the blink of an eye. The Tong family's bodyguards were already standing where she had just been. Liu Yong rushed over and crashed straight into the bodyguards.
Liu Yong wasn't bad at fighting, but he was no match for Tong Xiaohuai, let alone the several tall and strong bodyguards. Before he could even touch a hair on the bodyguards' heads, he was firmly restrained.
After dodging, Tong Xiaohuai quickly moved to the side of the police officer handling the case, leaned over, and whispered something in the officer's ear.
The police officer was startled at first, then turned to look at Tong Xiaohuai with a mixture of disbelief and doubt.
Tong Xiaohuai said to the police officer very seriously, "If you don't believe me, you can take all of us back right now and interrogate us one by one."
The officer scrutinized Tong Xiaohuai for a few more seconds, thought for a moment, and then ordered his officers to detain everyone in the private room. He himself took the phone and went out.
I guess something new has happened, and he needs to call his boss for help.
Liu Yong was being held captive by the Tong family's bodyguards, while the men with him started making a fuss, demanding that the bodyguards release him.
Liu Yong, who was being suppressed, glanced at Tong Xiaohuai with a sinister look, gritted his teeth, and spat.
"Tong Xiaohuai! You think you can play with me? You're still too green!"
Tong Xiaohuai smiled, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.
"Really? We'll see!"
The reason why Elder Tong would entrust such a heavy responsibility of the Tong family to Tong Xiaohuai is not only out of necessity, but also because Tong Xiaohuai does indeed have certain abilities.
Although she is only eighteen years old, in other people's eyes she is just a pretty young girl.
In fact, over the years she has followed her father around and seen all sorts of people and witnessed him handle all kinds of big events.
What we're seeing now is nothing more than a petty trick.
Moreover, this Liu Yong had actually met Tong Xiaohuai before.
Liu Yong himself had clearly forgotten, but Tong Xiaohuai had not.
"Liu Yong, watch your mouth, or don't blame us for being polite!" Uncle Ming whispered in Liu Yong's ear, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Because of the presence of police officers, the Tong family's bodyguards and the KTV's security guards stood obediently in the private room, without engaging in any violent behavior or inappropriate remarks.
Liu Yong gave a contemptuous smile and shouted loudly at the police officers guarding the private room.
"Officer, he threatened me!"
Several police officers gave him a cold glance, seemingly unwilling to pay him any more attention.
Clearly, his frivolous and unrestrained behavior towards Tong Xiaohuai had earned him the officers' disdain.
"Officer, he said if I mess up their plans again, they'll make me suffer!"
Tong Xiaohuai shook her head with amusement, crossed her arms, and looked at him from a distance. "Mr. Liu, I'd like to hear what you're planning to do to ruin our plans. We're just businessmen who open our doors to do business."
Liu Yong spat, "Merchant? Tong Xiaohuai, don't you dare insult the word 'merchant'!"
