Upon hearing Gu Qingyan's voice, Xiao Wanqing immediately calmed down, raised her eyebrows, and revealed a delighted smile.
She twisted her body forcefully, raised her chin at the man without any politeness, and commanded, "Let go of me right now, can't you see someone's coming?"
The man paused for a moment, then looked at her with amusement, saying sarcastically, "What? Let you go? Are you dreaming? The person who's here to back you up probably isn't from the capital."
However, it's alright.
Let me tell you, in the capital, the Rong family holds absolute power.
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, without the Rong family's approval, you can forget about leaving the capital unscathed.
Xiao Wanqing, used to being arrogant, didn't believe any of this. She scoffed, "The Rong family may be powerful, but the Gu family is also incredibly influential in Nancheng. Surely they can protect me?"
I think you're too naive! You don't understand that all powerful families are interconnected.
If I were you, I'd be smart enough to let me go and send me away properly.
"How much does the Rong family pay you a month? I'll have the guy at the gate give you double! Oh no, five times is fine, right? You're not even this smart!"
The man looked at her coldly, finding this woman utterly ridiculous, and decided to ignore her.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the man still showed no intention of letting her go, Xiao Wanqing struggled and shouted towards the door, "Qingyan, I'm inside! Please have someone save me! He's tied me up, and I feel so uncomfortable!"
"Tie him up?" Gu Qingyan, who was banging on the door, was stunned for a moment and didn't come to his senses for a long time.
"Qingyan!" Seeing no response, Xiao Wanqing raised her voice and urged Gu Qingyan on.
"Who's in the ward? Where's the patient?" Gu Qingyan quickly calmed down and grabbed the security guard at the door to ask.
"A patient?" The security guard was also a bit confused, not knowing what he wanted, and subconsciously asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Don't ask so many questions!" Gu Qingyan said, twitching his tie in annoyance.
The security guard looked at him suspiciously. Hearing Xiao Wanqing shouting again, he cautiously refrained from answering his question. Instead, he turned to Gu Qingyan and asked, "Who is that woman inside to you?"
When Gu Qingyan was questioned like that by the security guard, her face immediately fell, and she said impatiently, "What's it to you? I'm asking you where the patient inside is."
The security guard, looking wary and somewhat displeased, asked again, "Who is the person inside to you?"
"Qingyan, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering me?" Xiao Wanqing became anxious and started shouting loudly.
The man inside, annoyed by her noise, immediately stuffed a rag into her mouth. "Shut up! You're driving me crazy!"
"Wait a minute!" Gu Qingyan outside shouted angrily.
Seeing this, the security guard immediately gave a look to the other security guard next to him. The two of them acted at the same time, one of them grabbing one of Gu Qingyan's shoulders and pressing him down firmly.
Gu Qingyan had never been treated like this before. She grabbed his left shoulder and pressed down hard, causing the security guard to let out a scream.
"Quickly, a few people come and help!" The security guard on the right quickly let go, took a step back, frowned, and grabbed the walkie-talkie to call out, "There's a man here, he looks like he's probably an accomplice of the murderer inside! Quickly call a few more people to arrest him!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan's expression changed drastically, and the muscles in his face began to twitch violently. He shouted, "What are you doing?! Do you know who I am? How dare you arrest me?! My wife is still inside!"
"Your wife's still inside?" the security guard muttered, then pointed at Gu Qingyan and yelled, "You really are an accomplice! Your wife is a murderer and you still dare to shout here!"
He then picked up the walkie-talkie and urged, "What are you doing? Hurry up! The murderer's husband is still outside! Come up here and take them all down!"
Gu Qingyan was furious, and her face turned extremely sour.
The onlookers were startled to hear that there were accomplices still outside, and they all took a few steps back.
Before Gu Qingyan could react, a group of security guards carrying batons rushed over.
"That's him! Quick, grab him!"
The security guard in front of him pointed at Gu Qingyan and yelled at his companions.
The security guard, carrying a baton, strode menacingly toward Gu Qingyan.
"You dare touch me?!" Gu Qingyan felt a little panicked, but he still maintained the indifferent expression of a superior.
"I can't stand your pretentious attitude!" The head security guard rushed up and smacked him with a stick.
Gu Qingyan, her face cold, grabbed the police baton and said sternly, "I'm from Nancheng..."
Before he could finish speaking, the attacker had already quietly moved behind Gu Qingyan and raised his baton to strike his back.
Caught off guard, Gu Qingyan was struck squarely on the head before she could finish speaking.
"Pah! Don't you know that showing off will get you beaten up?!"
Just because you wear a suit doesn't mean you're superior!
The security guards didn't give him any face. Who cares who you are in the southern part of the city? This is the capital!
Seeing Gu Qingyan being beaten, the crowd took a few steps back, afraid of accidentally getting hurt themselves.
Standing in the corner, Wei Qiao crossed his arms and coldly watched Gu Qingyan being hit several times with batons. Although Gu Qingyan was quite skilled and physically strong, he was no match for a group of well-trained security guards wielding batons, especially since he was facing them unarmed.
Only when Wei Qiao saw that Gu Qingyan was truly unable to hold on did she push through the crowd, stand at the front, and calmly say, "Stop!"
The security guard in charge stopped, looked at Wei Qiao, and frowned. "And who are you? Are you one of his accomplices?" He pointed at Gu Qingyan as he spoke.
“I am from the Rong Group.” Wei Qiao glanced at Gu Qingyan, who was already struggling to stand.
Gu Qingyan suddenly looked up at him, her eyes filled with hostility.
The security guard was also taken aback. Someone from the Rong family?
They had heard that relatives of the Rong family lived here, but they were always surrounded by bodyguards whenever they appeared, so they hadn't been able to see them clearly. The dean had only warned everyone beforehand to be very careful.
Although the security guard still looked at him with some suspicion, his tone became very polite. If he really was from the Rong family, they were people they couldn't afford to offend. So he put on a smile and said, "May I ask what brings you here? We're arresting an accomplice of a criminal."
“They’re not accomplices, they just know the people inside.” Wei Qiao glanced at them calmly. “Our CEO Rong has already arranged for people to go in through the window and arrest them.”
The man inside, who was already moving the sofa, heard Wei Qiao's voice and immediately shouted outside, "Assistant Wei, I've subdued Xiao Wanqing! I'll take her out right away!"
