Chapter 80: Shoulder to Shoulder
After saying that, the man winked, and a burly man about 1.8 meters tall next to him raised his fist and hit her!
Ten seconds later, the burly man fell in front of the others with a bang.
The one-eyed man sneered, "Come at me together!"
More than a dozen people lay on the ground wailing after just five minutes. The women who were serving wine had already run away in fear. The entire box was in a mess, and the chandelier above was shaking.
Chi Muzhen helped Shen Tian up and walked out of the box step by step.
As soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by Haoli’s foreman Sister Li and her men.
"Miss, you beat up my customer. If you just walk away like that, how are we going to open our business in the future?"
Chi Muzhen's expression was cold. "What do you want?"
Sister Li smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in her eyes. "It's very simple. Leave one finger and I'll let you go."
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability to ask me to lift a finger."
Sister Li's expression changed, and she said coldly, "It seems you're not going to accept my toast, so you'll have to drink the penalty!"
Chi Muzhen looked at her expressionlessly, without any fear in his eyes.
The angry voice of the one-eyed man in the box rang out, "Xu Li, catch her for me! I'm going to kill this bitch! If you let her go today, Hao Li will never be able to do business in peace again!"
The one-eyed man is a gangster. If you mess with him, even if Haoli has a background, she won’t be able to stop him from causing trouble every few days.
Thinking of this, Sister Li's face darkened and she said coldly, "Come on!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the security guards behind her were about to rush towards Chi Muzhen when an extremely cold voice rang out.
"I wonder who dares to touch her!"
Everyone looked towards the direction where the sound came from, and when they saw Huo Yunting, their eyes were filled with shock.
Chi Muzhen was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Huo Yunting to appear here.
Sister Li reacted and hurriedly walked towards Huo Yunting with a smile, "Mr. Huo, how come you are free today...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked away by the bodyguard next to Huo Yunting and fell heavily to the ground, his face turning pale with pain.
She struggled to stand up by holding onto the wall, enduring the pain in her body and said, "Mr. Huo, this is all a misunderstanding... Please listen to my explanation..."
Huo Yunting didn't even look at her, his cold gaze fell on Chi Muzhen.
"Are you not coming yet?!"
Feeling Huo Yunting's anger, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and helped Shen Tian walk to his side.
“You take Shen Tian to the hospital first, I’ll come over after I finish dealing with things here.”
"……good."
Chi Muzhen turned around and was about to leave when the one-eyed man in the box gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Huo, I have nothing to do with you. I spent five million to buy this woman from someone else. You just took her away like that. Don't you deserve an explanation?!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "What do you want to be told?"
"Give me five million and let's settle today's matter!"
Chi Muzhen turned around and looked at him coldly, saying word by word: "I can return the five million to you, but how do you calculate the damage you caused to Shen Tian?"
The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, then said, "At worst, you can just pay less and give me four million."
Seeing his disdainful expression, Chi Muzhen let go of Chen Tian and slowly walked towards him.
The one-eyed man was obviously a little afraid of her, with a flash of fear in his eyes, "What are you doing?!"
Chi Muzhen walked up to him, grabbed his hand and twisted it hard.
“Crack!”
The one-eyed man screamed miserably. Chi Muzhen coldly shook off his hand, stood up and said, "You broke one hand, I'll give you six million, and the extra one million will be your compensation!"
Chi Muzhen turned around and walked to Chen Tian, helped Chen Tian up and left.
On the way to the hospital, Chen Tian hugged Chi Muzhen and cried loudly. If Chi Muzhen hadn't come tonight, she knew very well what would have happened to her.
After finally calming down, Chen Tian looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, thank you!"
Chi Muzhen patted her back gently and said softly, "Don't think about anything, it's okay."
"Um."
After going to the hospital for a check-up, fortunately Shen Tian was not injured except for some minor skin injuries, she was just frightened.
After the doctor left, Chi Muzhen sat down beside the bed.
"Tiantian, what's going on?"
Shen Tian was silent for a while, then said coldly: "My dad went to gamble again, and this time he lost five million. The other party said that if he didn't pay five million, he would chop off his hands. He sold me for himself!"
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Doesn't he know that you've earned tens of millions in the past few years?"
Chen Tian shook her head. "I didn't tell him, otherwise he would have used it to gamble again. I don't want him to know about that money, and I won't give it to him!"
Looking at Chen Tian's strong expression, Chi Muzhen just felt distressed.
In the past, Shen Tian had a happy family. If her father had not become addicted to gambling, the Shen family would not have gone bankrupt, and her mother would not have divorced her father.
"You're right not to tell him, Tiantian. Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, do you plan to completely cut off ties with your father?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Tian's eyes, and she suddenly looked up at Chi Muzhen.
"I did think about it, but I also knew that unless I went somewhere where no one knew me, I would always be living in his shadow."
"Gambling is illegal, and he sold you out for money!"
Shen Tian bit her lower lip and understood what Chi Muzhen meant.
She closed her eyes, her voice trembling, "I need to think about this..."
If her father was really sent to jail, she would indeed feel a lot more relaxed, at least she wouldn't have to worry about debt collectors coming to her door.
But she didn't know whether she would regret it one day.
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Well, you can think about it slowly. You can also move away and just ignore any news about him in the future."
"Okay, I understand...Zhenzhen, you've been busy all night, go back and rest. I can do it by myself."
Seeing that Shen Tian's mood had stabilized, Chi Muzhen didn't stay any longer.
When she returned home and saw Huo Yunting sitting in the living room waiting for her, Chi Muzhen felt a surge of guilt.
"Mr. Huo, it's better for your legs to lie down."
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly and sneered, "If you really cared about my health, you wouldn't have left without telling me anything. Chi Muzhen, do you know how dangerous tonight is?!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "I think I can handle it."
"What if there are more people tonight?! You can handle a dozen people, but can you handle a hundred? No matter how strong you are, your physical strength has its limits!"
Seeing the worry under Huo Yunting's cold expression, Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes like a child who had done something wrong.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."
"Haha, then I should thank you?!"
When Huo Yunting heard that she had gone to Haoli alone to challenge more than a dozen men, he was so angry that he wanted to catch her and beat her up so that she would not dare to face these dangers alone in the future.
After a moment of silence, Chi Muzhen secretly glanced at Huo Yunting.
There was still anger on his face. When he noticed Chi Muzhen's gaze, he glanced at her coldly.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to have worried you, but it's so late. Let's go to bed early. We have to go to work tomorrow morning."
"This won't happen again!"
Chi Muzhen didn't dwell on this matter any further and said, "I'll transfer the six million to your card later. As for the Angel's Tears money, I don't have that much at the moment. I'll pay you back when I have enough."
Huo Yunting's face suddenly turned extremely cold. She actually had such a clear plan with him!
"Whatever you want!"
Without looking at her again, he turned his wheelchair and left.
Not until his figure disappeared from sight did Chi Muzhen finally breathe a sigh of relief and transferred six million to Huo Yunting using her mobile phone.
She didn't want to owe him more, otherwise one day she would not be able to pay him back.
The next morning, Chi Muzhen bought breakfast and went to the hospital to see Shen Tian.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the ward, I heard Shen Tian’s exasperated voice coming from inside.
"I said I don't want to see you, can you please just go away?!"
