The manager had received instructions from Huo Tingzhen beforehand, and led his men to stop Bao Yanbai and Mei Lin from going in to search for people.
Merlin had little influence in the country and dared not offend the other party rashly, so he took a step back and waited for Bao Yanbai to take the lead.
Bao Yanbai, as expected, disregarded the manager and tried to walk past him to go inside, but was stopped again.
Bao Yanbai was seething with anger, and after being repeatedly stopped by the other party, he grabbed the other party by the collar in frustration, demanding, "Which private room is Miss Huo in?"
The manager lowered his eyes and adopted a very respectful attitude, saying, "This is a guest's privacy, and we are not at liberty to disclose it. We ask for Mr. Bao's understanding."
"Understand my ass!"
Bao Yanbai couldn't help but swear. The person in front of him was completely unyielding. Did he really have to resort to violence to get him in?
But if I were to take action, Huo Tingzhen would be even angrier if she found out.
Bao Yanbai's chest heaved violently, and he gripped the manager's clothes in his hand tighter and tighter.
"???" The manager gasped for breath, "Cough cough..."
Bao Yanbai watched coldly, but did not let go.
The manager continued coughing.
Bao Yanbai still made no further move.
Seeing the manager's face gradually turning red, Merlin worried that he might faint, so she decided to try to persuade Bao Yanbai first.
However, before he could even speak, he saw Huo Qizhen walking out of the elevator.
"Mr. Huo!"
Merlin's eyes lit up, and he shouted ahead.
Huo Qizhen, who had just stepped out of the elevator, heard the sound and looked up.
He frowned after just one glance.
Mei Lin walked past Bao Yanbai and the manager toward Huo Qizhen. "Mr. Huo, it's like this, Ting brought Jian Yu and Lin Ningning here to play, but the manager didn't tell us which room they were in."
Huo Qizhen glanced at the manager.
The manager pleaded in his eyes, "Help!"
"Let him go."
Bao Yanbai obediently let go.
Which one?
When Huo Qizhen asked him a question, the manager dared not remain silent as he had before.
"Mr. Huo, please wait a moment while I go and consult Miss Huo."
"lead the way."
Huo Qizhen coldly uttered two words.
The manager immediately and obediently began to lead the way, "Mr. Huo, this way please!"
Reaching the door of the private room, the manager took a deep breath, reached out and opened the door, but he dared not go in. "Mr. Huo, Miss Huo is in this room."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yanbai and Mei Lin rushed forward at the same time.
With just a glance from Huo Qizhen, the two were stopped in place by the bodyguards.
Huo Qizhen went inside by himself.
He only glanced at it, and his anger flared up instantly.
Huo Tingzhen, blindfolded, is playing hide-and-seek with a group of handsome men.
He touched me on the left, grabbed me on the right, and said, "Where do you think I'm going to run?"
Come on!
"Over here, over here!"
"......"
The group of people were having a great time.
A boy with effeminate features deliberately slowed down his run.
Huo Tingzhen caught him red-handed.
Huo Tingzhen put one arm around the other's waist and touched the other's chin with the other, "Gotcha! Come on, drink a penalty cup."
He ripped off the blindfold, grabbed the other person's hand, and sat down on the bar.
He picked up a glass of whiskey he had just mixed and handed it to the other person, saying, "Drink."
The other person said coquettishly, "Isn't Miss Huo afraid that I'll get drunk from such strong liquor?"
Huo Tingzhen slammed his hand on the table, took out a wad of cash from his bag, and slapped it on the table. "Ten thousand for a drink."
The other person tilted their head back and drank the wine.
They acted so quickly, as if they were afraid Huo Tingzhen would change his mind.
Huo Tingzhen exclaimed, "Good!"
She picked up a bundle and stuffed it into his arms, saying, "This is yours."
The other person beamed, "Thank you, honey! I can still drink."
"drink!"
The other handsome men also gathered around, saying, "Miss Huo, you can't be biased! We can drink too! Why are you giving all the good things to him?"
Huo Tingzhen was very wealthy and generous. He circled his fingers around and said, "Whoever wants to drink, I'll give them all."
"real?"
Everyone raised their glasses and began to drink.
Huo Tingzhen clapped and cheered.
And he put a bundle of cash in everyone's arms.
Huo Qizhen, “…”
His gaze shifted to a girl he didn't recognize; he guessed she was Lin Ningning, whom Merlin had just mentioned.
Lin Ningning was sitting with her back to Huo Qizhen, playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with someone.
The loser has to take off a piece of clothing.
On the sofa lay a woman's coat, which was probably Lin Ningning's.
I just don't know if she took it off because she lost at cards, or if she took it off herself because she was hot.
Anyway, the boys who played cards with her had all taken off a few pieces of clothing.
One person was stripped down to his underwear.
Judging from the sound of the cards being played, Lin Ningning was extremely excited. "A royal flush! Hahaha, I'm going to win again!"
Huo Qizhen looked around but didn't see Jian Yu.
The bodyguard then called the manager inside.
The manager pointed to the left, "There's a balcony over there. I'll go check if it's there."
Huo Qizhen went over to check it himself.
Jian Yu was facing away from the room, and it was unclear what he was doing.
Huo Qizhen stood there for a while, then heard Jian Yu's exasperated voice, "Fight back! Hit! Hit hard! Yes, yes, hit like that!"
Huo Qizhen turned his gaze to the window and, after seeing the situation outside, found it quite amusing.
All the temptations in the house were nothing compared to the entertainment value of a gossip session in Jian Yu's eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
Jian Yu was engrossed in his reading when he suddenly heard a voice beside him, startling him. "Oh my god?"
"It's me."
Huo Qizhen quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! Did I scare you?"
Jian Yu clutched her wildly beating heart and stubbornly said, "I'm fine."
Huo Qizhen knew exactly what was going on. After comforting Jian Yu for a while and seeing that she had returned to normal, he asked, "What happened outside?"
"Shh!"
Jian Yu pointed out the window and lowered her voice, "This is a young couple. They were hiding it from each other, both working here. The guy has been working here for half a year, and the girl has been here for half a month, including today. They hadn't seen each other here before, so they didn't know each other and thought the other was at home. They ran into each other in the hallway just now and both made excuses to hide here. They were both at fault, but they insisted that they were sacrificing for each other and for their future. The guy couldn't take it anymore and slapped the girl, and then the girl started to retaliate. Now their clothes are both torn."
Huo Qizhen, “…”
After watching with Jian Yu for a while, Huo Qizhen finally asked his question, "Why did you come here?"
Jian Yu: "Tingzhen and Bao Yanbai have broken up! This time, Tingzhen is serious."
Huo Qizhen was somewhat puzzled, "Wasn't Tingzhen just saying that out of anger?"
Jian Yu sighed, "You don't know, Bao Yanbai's mother gave him that kind of drug, and even called the eldest daughter of the Xuri Group to Bao Yanbai's room, preparing to force him into marriage, preferably with a shotgun wedding."
Huo Qizhen was deeply shocked by this absurd approach. "They even agreed to these conditions?"
"It seems that it was decided by the head of the Sunrise Group. They couldn't bear to give up the Bao family's land, so they chose to cooperate with Mrs. Bao's approach."
"Did Bao Yanbai and the other party's relationship work out?"
Huo Qizhen felt an itch in his hands and wanted to go out and give Bao Yanbai a good beating.
Jian Yu shook her head. "No. Bao Yanbai noticed something was wrong, so he left their house early."
Huo Qizhen angrily tugged at his tie. "It seems Tingzhen was right to break up with him. That good-for-nothing Bao Yanbai can't even handle his own mother. Not only that, but she's getting more and more outrageous."
Thinking of Bao Yanbai and Meilin outside the door, Huo Qizhen felt no good and turned around to order the bodyguards to drive the two of them away.
The bodyguard accepted the order and went to carry it out.
Jian Yu looked surprised. "The two of them are outside? They're both here? That's not right, if they're here, why wouldn't they come in?"
