Wang Xiangxiang, who had just run out, was charging wildly in the streets, her heart in utter despair since her recent attitude meant that Li Fuyou was very likely to reveal the incident of her lost virginity.
At this moment, she didn’t even know which street she was on; she just kept running, stumbling until she reached the entrance of a gambling house, where she accidentally collided with someone at the door.
She stopped in a panic and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m so sorry."
The person, seeing Wang Xiangxiang’s opulent attire and beautiful features, had a flash of sinister intent in his eyes and spoke with a nasty tone, "So you bumped into someone, and you think a sorry is enough?"
Wang Xiangxiang looked at the burly brute before her, sensing his ill intentions but still continued with her apologies, "I’m sorry, big brother, it really wasn’t intentional."
"Hmph, for bumping into someone, you need to compensate with Silver," the burly man insisted relentlessly.
It was apparent that he was after Silver, and at this point, Wang Xiangxiang was furious. One after another, they were all bullying her; was it not just a minor bump without any harm done? Wasn’t this extortion?
Wanting nothing to do with such people, she turned to leave but was grabbed tightly by the burly man, "You bumped into someone and now you’re trying to leave?"
Wang Xiangxiang struggled fiercely, shouting loudly, "Let go of me, let go of me!"
The burly man’s face was filled with malice, "Let go of you? You think you’re in the right after bumping into someone? Pay up with Silver quickly."
At this time, several of the burly man’s accomplices from the gambling house’s entrance joined in, grabbing at Wang Xiangxiang. She cried out in fear, "Let go of me, let go of me! Isn’t Silver what you want?"
"Too late, now the brothers here want to have some fun with you."
Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes widened in terror; she was extremely frightened as the current situation reminded her of a previous encounter when she was cornered by hoodlums. Her face was covered in tears—who would come and save her?
The moment Han Yongsheng stepped outside, he saw no sign of Wang Xiangxiang. After searching several streets, he heard noises from the next street over and hurriedly made his way there. He saw Wang Xiangxiang being harassed by several burly men, and he was furious. He kicked one of them and shouted, "Let her go!"
"Ouch," the man cried out from the kick’s pain, and they all let go of Wang Xiangxiang and surrounded Han Yongsheng.
Having been let go, Wang Xiangxiang ran away, scared.
The burly men didn’t take Han Yongsheng seriously, circled him in the middle, and shouted, "You dare to meddle in our business? Brothers, let’s get him."
By this time, Han Yongsheng was utterly furious. He was already angered by Li Fuyou’s attitude at Dongfeng Restaurant and had nowhere to vent it. Now, these men were bullying Wang Xiangxiang—he simply couldn’t tolerate it. With a burst of energy, he delivered a series of kicks, putting all those men in their place.
The burly men lay on the ground in pain, wailing miserably, quite unlike their fierce appearance, repeatedly pleading, "Boss, please spare our lives."
"Hmph, if you encounter the lady from just now, you’d better keep your distance. If I find out you’re troubling her again, you won’t be as lucky as today."
"Yes, yes, of course," they agreed readily.
Han Yongsheng didn’t want to linger any longer since Wang Xiangxiang had disappeared, clearly in distress when she left. He hoped nothing else would happen to her. She had come out with him, after all, and besides, she was Guo Feng’s important sister.
