Dong Shu, who was too big, was shaking on the ground in pain but couldn't turn over. Lin Xia tried to help him up, but she was too weak.
He was so anxious that he was gesturing wildly around the cube, like a shaman performing a ritual.
"Brother Shu, get up quickly."
They quickly brought the security manager over.
The security manager was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, followed by four young security personnel.
He stepped forward and, together with his four subordinates, helped Dong Shu up.
"Sir, are you alright?"
"He, he's the one who hurt me, both of them together, throw them out!" Dong Shu roared angrily, pointing his other finger at Lin An's nose.
Lin Xia hurriedly added, "Yes, he not only injured people, but the invitation he had was also fake. I don't know how they managed to sneak in."
The manager carefully sized up both of them. Lin An was young and dressed plainly, while Dong Shu was different. He was dressed in luxury and wore a Rolex. But that was nothing compared to the fact that Lin Xia, who was standing next to him, was a stunning beauty. He must be extremely wealthy, otherwise it would be an injustice.
The manager immediately made a judgment, and a barely perceptible smile of contempt appeared on his face as he said to Lin An:
"Excuse me, sir, could you please show me your invitation letter? I need to verify it."
Although he spoke politely, Lin An could still sense the disdain in his eyes.
Lin An retorted with a cold laugh, "What if I don't allow it?"
"This auction is by invitation only. May I ask which family in Hai City you belong to?" The manager's tone turned cold.
Before Lin An could speak, Lin Xia interrupted, "He is a rebellious son who was kicked out of our Lin family. He has no family and nobody wants him."
The Lin family wasn't even on the invitation list. When the manager heard the words "nobody wants him," he snorted and felt relieved. This kid had no background, so he didn't need to be so timid.
The manager coughed lightly, raised his chin, and his expression turned arrogant: "How did you sneak in? You'd better tell us yourselves."
Lin An felt disgusted by his condescending attitude and said indifferently, "Why should I explain myself to you?"
Seeing Lin An's attitude, the manager arrogantly said, "You can't escape this even if you don't confess. What kind of place is this? You sneaked in and dared to cause trouble here, hurting our Qingfeng Pavilion's guests. I have no choice but to throw you out now."
"No, he injured me at Qingfeng Pavilion. You have to stand up for me, beat him up and throw him out."
Dong Shu felt he had lost out by only throwing the two people out, and he clamored for revenge.
Seeing that the cube had spoken, the manager said obsequiously, "The customer is right."
He gave his subordinates a wink, and four of them stepped forward and surrounded Lin An and Xu Mo.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Mo quickly explained, "We were specially invited by the organizers. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
The manager thought he was making excuses, sneered a few times, and shouted, "Give him the beating!"
With a "bang," the manager was kicked to the ground and then grabbed by the collar of his suit jacket. Several hard slaps landed on his face, leaving him bruised and swollen.
"Are you fucking looking for death? You dare to mess with anyone? You're tired of living!"
The incident happened so fast that everyone was taken aback.
The manager struggled to open his swollen eyes and finally saw that the person who hit him was Brother Long. Looking up, he saw that behind Brother Long stood Master Qin. Master Qin was bound to be present at the auction held by the Zhou family.
Just a few minutes ago, there was a gasp of amazement from the audience.
A man and a woman emerged from the inner passageway. The man, dressed in a white suit, possessed an air of refined elegance and unparalleled beauty; it was none other than Zhou Chen.
The woman holding his arm was Zhou Ya, dressed in a silver gown, beautiful and charming, like a celestial being.
This immediately drew gasps of admiration from the crowd.
Zhou Ya walked into the venue, her eyes constantly searching. When she saw that the VIP seat in the front row was empty, she couldn't help but frown.
Seeing Zhou Ya's anxious expression, Master Qin stepped forward and asked:
"Miss, what's wrong? Is there anything you're not happy with in the arrangements?"
"No, the reception staff reported earlier that Lin An had already entered the venue. Where is he?"
It turned out that Zhou Ya had already told the receptionist at the entrance that she should be informed when the VIP seats arrived.
She had originally planned to wait for Lin An to arrive before making her appearance. She had put a lot of thought into her outfit and makeup today, hoping to leave a stunning impression on Lin An.
The distance from the entrance to the inner field is only a few minutes. Where are the Lin An people?
Master Qin quickly said, "Miss, don't worry, I'll go out and look for her."
As Master Qin walked out of the inner area, Brother Long naturally followed with his men.
They hadn't gone far when they saw the security manager yelling that he wanted to beat up Lin An.
Master Qin waved his hand, and Brother Long immediately took action.
"Ah, who are you?" Lin Xia screamed in fear when she saw the manager being beaten.
Brother Long turned to look at her. "Hey, isn't this an old acquaintance? This woman is quite tenacious, and she can still cause trouble."
Lin Xia also thought of Brother Long, and her body froze in fear. The scene of her beloved Brother Dong being maimed in the hospital last time was still vivid in her mind. She gripped Dong Shu's fat arm tightly in fear, hoping that the status of the Dong family could protect her.
Master Qin stepped forward and greeted Lin An with a smile:
"Mr. Lin, everyone is here. The event will begin soon. Please go in first. Miss is waiting for you. Leave this to me."
Lin An knew Qin Siye's methods, so he nodded and said, "Then we'll go in first."
As Lin An entered, the inner gate was closed.
Dong Shu dislocated his wrist, and was groaning in pain as he cried out, his mouth twisted in a grimace.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you trying to curry favor with him? He hit me. I’m Dong Shu, Dong Gang’s son. I’m ordering you to hit him.”
Of course, Master Qin knew who he was. Among the prominent families in Haishi, Dong Shu was the only one with such distinctive features. Dong Gang did have a lot of influence, but he was just an illegitimate child. His mother had become a discarded woman and was left behind in Haishi by Dong Gang instead of being taken to the port area. What was he anyway?
Master Qin sneered, gritted his teeth, and kicked Dong Shu away, shouting:
"Who the hell are you, daring to offend Miss's guest?"
Brother Long and his men were shocked and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Old ginger is spicier. Dong Shu is so big, and Fourth Master can still kick him at his age. Back in the day, they couldn't even imagine Fourth Master's skills. He is indeed worthy of being the boss!
Dong Shu never dreamed that anyone in Haishi would dare to kick him. He lay on the ground shouting:
"You're finished, you old fool! I'm going to tell my dad!"
Brother Long couldn't stand anyone insulting his boss, so he stomped on the man's chest.
"You son of a bitch! I'll teach you a lesson for your foul mouth."
Brother Long kicked several times, but it felt like he was kicking cotton. The thick layer of fat acted as a protective layer for his opponent, leaving Brother Long with no way to use his strength.
Brother Long beckoned, and several of his men surrounded Dong Shu, punching and kicking him.
"Grandpas, I was wrong, please stop hitting me!" Dong Shu pleaded repeatedly, hurt from the beating.
Master Qin showed no respect to the Dong family, and Lin Xia, having lost all hope, collapsed to the ground. A strange thought popped into her head: every time she brought a man to see Lin An, her man would get beaten. Lin An was a jinx to her husbands!
