"Let's go out and take a look."
Qin Yang said softly, and led Li Shanshan toward the hotel entrance.
Their steps were calm and composed, as if they didn't care about the crisis at all.
Wu Si perked up immediately when he saw Qin Yang approaching.
He pointed at Qin Yang and said to Wu Zhong, "Brother, it's him! You have to teach him a lesson!"
His voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he could already see Qin Yang being beaten to his knees and begging for mercy.
Wu Zhong didn't speak; he just stared at Qin Yang quietly, his eyes growing colder and colder.
Just as Qin Yang and Li Shanshan reached the hotel entrance, only a few steps away from Wu Zhong, Wu Zhong suddenly moved.
He didn't rush up and beat Qin Yang up as Wu Si had imagined, but instead—
"Smack!"
A crisp slap echoed throughout the hotel lobby.
Everyone was stunned; their eyes widened in disbelief at what they were seeing.
Wu Zhong actually slapped Wu Si across the face!
Moreover, it was a hard slap!
Wu Si was stunned by the blow. He covered his swollen cheek, looking completely incredulous.
"Brother, why...why did you hit me?"
His voice trembled, filled with grievance and confusion.
He couldn't understand why Wu Zhong would hit him; he had clearly come to stand up for him!
Wu Zhong's face was ashen, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
He pointed at Wu Si and roared, "You bastard, you dare ask me why I hit you? Do you know you almost got into big trouble!"
His voice was like thunder, making the entire hall buzz.
Wu Si was so frightened that he shuddered. He had never seen Wu Zhong so angry before.
He realized that he might have really gotten himself into trouble, and big trouble at that.
"Brother, I...I don't know, he just bullied me..."
Wu Si's voice grew softer and softer; he no longer dared to argue.
Wu Zhong ignored him and turned to look at Qin Yang.
A hint of respect and apology appeared on his face.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not disciplining you properly and causing you distress," Wu Zhong said with a deep bow, full of apology.
His attitude was sincere and humble, completely unlike his previous arrogance and domineering manner.
Everyone was dumbfounded, not understanding where the situation had reversed.
"Mr. Qin?" Wu Si was dumbfounded, and the others were even more dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at Qin Yang, completely baffled as to why this young man could make the rising star Wu Zhong so subservient.
