“You know… Given our status, how can we afford to offend those young masters? Heh heh, we mostly turn a blind eye so we are only vaguely aware…”

The rich young masters often came to this bar to hunt for women. Sometimes, they cause trouble. The manager was careful not to offend them. Of course, he knew about this incident, but because it was only a celebrity assistant who had been held captive, it was not considered a big deal. Even a celebrity’s assistant could not escape the many unspoken rules that governed this industry. However, for someone with a strong background who entered this industry, the people around would not dare to pick on them anyway. Besides, she was just an assistant. There was no need to antagonize these rich young masters over a mere assistant.

Qin Zhou was slowly losing his patience. “You turn a blind eye when people are causing trouble because you’re afraid of disrupting the peace. Does that mean it doesn’t matter to you, the manager, if I cause trouble?”

The manager stammered, “Brother Qin, don’t mind…”

“Even if I ruin this place, your bosses may not dare to hold me accountable. But you, on the other hand, could lose your job!”

“Tell you what …” The manager couldn’t take the scare and quickly smiled apologetically. “I’ll go and find out for you immediately who those young masters are who have held your person captive. Would that be fine?! Don’t worry, in the future, we will do our utmost to protect your people. Even if we can’t do anything, we’ll immediately call you if we notice that something is not right!”

“I don’t have much time. Hurry up.”

“Okay, okay, right now, right away!”

The manager quickly sent someone over. At the same time, he immediately placed Qin Zhou and Liang Yin in a private room and served them with good wine and tea.

Soon afterwards, someone hurried over and said that the person who had taken Hua Jin away was Xiao Kai from Wu Shan Pictures.

“Wu Shan Pictures?”

Qin Zhou had heard of Wu Shan Pictures. Although it was not very well-known, its background was not to be underestimated.

The big boss of Wu Shan Pictures had an extraordinary background and was not to be trifled with.

“I heard that Xiao Kai from Wu Shan Pictures took a few women with him and went straight upstairs. It looks like he drank a lot, and was high on alcohol.”

“Upstairs?”

“Yes, the hotel upstairs.”

Qin Zhou instructed, “Find out their room number for me.”

As she stood in the hotel elevator, Liang Yin rubbed her hands nervously, afraid that something would happen to Hua Jin. He was alone and weak. There was no telling how he would be bullied.

Qin Zhou, however, appeared unperturbed.

Liang Yin asked suspiciously, “Aren’t you worried about Hua Jin?”

“What’s the use of worrying?”

“…”

“He’s an adult too. He ought to be taught a lesson for offending someone.”

“Uh…” Liang Yin said weakly, “Actually, I was the one who offended the person. Hua Jin left with them to protect me.”

“Still not an excuse. Not his first time in and out of a place like this, being an adult.’

Liang Yin felt unbearably guilty. If she hadn’t insisted on sitting at the bar, she wouldn’t have attracted unwanted attention and ended up making things difficult for Hua Jin!

“I was wrong.” Liang Yin looked contrite.

Qin Zhou snorted. “You are to write a 5000-word self-reflection essay once we get back.”

“5000 words!” Liang Yin widened her eyes. “So many words?”

“Why, you have objections?”

“No… no objections. I’ll write it when I get back…”

A “ding” sounded. The elevator doors opened.

Qin Zhou and Liang Yin exited the elevator and headed straight for the room number the manager had given him.
