Capítulo 10: Lamb to the slaughter
Until now, Huang Bai finally had the time to turn around and look at Chen Liuhe. Seeing the scene before him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly became enthusiastic, grinning, "Sixth Brother, I knew it, you must be better at fighting than me."
Chen Liuhe smiled, looking at the fresh blood seeping from Huang Bai's wounds, furrowing his brows but not saying a word.
Huang Bai dragged the security team captain, who was scared stiff, to stand up, asking Chen Liuhe, "Sixth Brother, what should we do now? Fight or run?"
Chen Liuhe smiled at the pale-faced security team captain and asked, "Tell me, where is Qin Ruohan?"
"Don't act recklessly, someone could get hurt. The security team captain said tremblingly.
Chen Liuhe signaled to Huang Bai, who understood immediately. With a strong grip of his palm, a streak of blood appeared on the security team captain's neck. Huang Bai said harshly, "Damn you, answer what you're asked! Dare to talk back and I'll kill you. I don't care if I lose my life, but you'll lose yours!"
"Don't be impulsive, I'll talk. The security team captain said with a trembling voice. "Miss Qin is in the office on the fifth floor, but let me kindly advise you, she's currently in a meeting with an important figure. If you disturb them now, things will end very badly."
"Lead the way!" Chen Liuhe didn't waste any time, turning and walking towards the elevator, with Huang Bai holding the security team captain following behind.
Some waiters and security guards rushed over upon hearing the commotion, but seeing the situation, none dared to act rashly, just watching from a distance.
Tonight, Qin Ruohan once again felt the sense of helplessness and despair she had felt when her father died. Facing the menacing Zhou Yunkang, she felt it again.
Facing Zhou Yunkang's aggressive and menacing attitude, Qin Ruohan couldn't help but hate Chen Liuhe. She had thought that Chen Liuhe was not an ordinary person. Even if he couldn't help her out of her current predicament, he could at least be her support, even if it was just to boost her morale.
But in the end, Chen Liuhe, that bastard, had never cared about her affairs. These two days, he hadn't offered her any help, not even a basic attitude, not even a verbal promise that could reassure her.
Qin Ruohan had no hope left for Chen Liuhe. At this critical moment, she was still facing Zhou Yunkang, who was as dangerous as a wolf or tiger, all by herself.
In the spacious office, there were only Qin Ruohan and Zhou Yunkang. The atmosphere was extremely heavy. Sitting behind the desk, Qin Ruohan's face was pale, her eyes filled not only with deep resentment and anger, but also with intense humiliation and desolation.
On the other hand, Zhou Yunkang, sitting arrogantly on the leather sofa, legs crossed, smoking a Cuban cigar, had an air of self-assurance. When he looked at Qin Ruohan, besides disdain, there was also a hint of well-known fanaticism.
In his eyes, Qin Ruohan was a nailed-down prey, not only for her family's wealth, but also for her outstanding beauty.
"How about it, General Qin? Time is almost up. Have you made up your mind?" Zhou Yunkang asked calmly.
"Zhou Yunkang, why are you so ruthless! My father was killed by you, and you still won't let me go?" Qin Ruohan struggled. She was unwilling!
Zhou Yunkang sneered, "General Qin, speak with evidence. Your father died in a car accident, it was an accident. Besides, your accusation of ruthlessness is a bit excessive. You, a beautiful woman like you, I can't bear to lay a heavy hand on you. Asking you to hand over the club is also for your own good."
"For my good? Hmph, your idea of good is chilling." Qin Ruohan stared angrily.
"General Qin, there's no use in talking too much. I hope you understand that in life, money is not the most important thing. Sometimes, having too much money can also be a burden. If a person dies, what's the use of all that money?" Zhou Yunkang said, "Our Black Dragon Society is offering two million to buy your club. We've been more than generous. You need to understand, this club could save your life!"
"You shameless scoundrels!" Qin Ruohan couldn't contain her anger. "I will never let you succeed. This club is my father's blood and sweat. Want me to give up the club? Dream on! I really want to see if you dare to kill me!" Qin Ruohan was absolutely resolute, unwilling to submit.
Zhou Yunkang shook his head disappointedly, not in a hurry but coldly smiling, "It seems you really aren't afraid of death." Then, his tone changed, "But even if you don't care about your own safety, don't you care about your cute little brother?"
Before Qin Ruohan could speak, Zhou Yunkang continued, "I know you have a brother studying abroad. If something were to happen to him, tsk tsk, your Qin family would truly be finished."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ruohan could no longer sit still. She stood up in anger and despair, a mix of shock and resentment in her eyes. "If you dare to harm a hair on my brother's head, I will never let you off!" she exclaimed.
"Hehe, fair enough." Zhou Yunkang pushed forward a contract in front of him. "Sign this transfer agreement, and two million will be deposited into your account immediately. You and your brother will be safe."
Pausing for a moment, he glanced at Qin Ruohan's graceful figure. "I believe, as a woman, especially a beautiful woman like you, you shouldn't be out here in the open. You need a man to shield you from the wind and rain. If you follow me, it would be a very good choice."
"Get lost! You beast, shameless scum!" Qin Ruohan collapsed back into her chair, her face full of pain and despair. She knew, in front of Zhou Yunkang, she really couldn't struggle. She was too weak.
She knew she had no way out. From the moment Zhou Yunkang used her brother as a threat, she had no room to resist.
She could be fearless of life and death, but she couldn't let her only brother, the only male of the Qin family, suffer. She couldn't bear such a heavy blow.
A pitiful woman indeed. Compromise, in front of us, you have no negotiating power. Zhou Yunkang showed no mercy in his eyes, only a sense of pleasure. He enjoyed manipulating others' fates, like a drug, it made him addicted.
"If I sign this contract, will you let me and my brother go?" Qin Ruohan's voice was hoarse, her decision made.
"Of course," Zhou Yunkang said, though inwardly he sneered. How could he let go of such a beauty in front of him? That wasn't his style.
"Fine, I'll sign it. I hope you keep your word!" Qin Ruohan walked out from behind the desk, her Chanel dress accentuating her figure, her slender, snow-white legs wrapped in a pair of thin, flesh-colored stockings, her delicate feet in black pointed high heels, exuding temptation. Zhou Yunkang felt a surge of blood, an impulse to rush over and dominate her.
But he remained rational. He knew all his lascivious thoughts had to wait until after this woman signed the agreement.
Just as Qin Ruohan picked up the heavy pen, about to sign her name on the contract, suddenly, a loud bang resounded through the office, and the tightly closed door was kicked open.
Bang! Someone had kicked it open.
This sudden turn of events startled both Zhou Yunkang and Qin Ruohan. They turned to see two men entering, dressed like construction workers.
"Tsk tsk, General Qin, your door quality is poor. How did it open with just a light kick?" The two men were none other than Chen Liuhe and Huang Bai.
Chen Liuhe was quite rude, skipping the step of knocking and just breaking in. When he saw the situation in the office, he felt slightly relieved. It seemed he wasn't too late.
"Chen Liuhe!" Qin Ruohan's face was filled with surprise. She never expected that at her most desperate moment, when she had no hope left for Chen Liuhe, this guy would appear like a godsend.
For some reason, at the moment Chen Liuhe appeared, she instantly felt confident.
"Who are you?" After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhou Yunkang quickly calmed down, squinting at Chen Liuhe and Huang Bai. He was still sitting on the sofa, unmoved, seemingly not taking these two seriously.
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is, I'm here." Chen Liuhe smiled lightly, swaggering over to the sofa and sitting down not far from Zhou Yunkang. He took out a Red Plum cigarette, threw one to Huang Bai, and lit one himself, but didn't offer one to Zhou Yunkang.
Of course, Zhou Yunkang, with his style, would probably never even glance at such low-quality cigarettes in his life.
"You can break in here, which means the people outside have been dealt with by you. Not simple." Zhou Yunkang looked at Chen Liuhe, unable to see anything special about him.
"Without some skill, who would dare to come up the mountain?" Chen Liuhe chuckled, turning his head to look at Zhou Yunkang. He blew out a mouthful of smoke, casually picking up the contract on the coffee table and glancing at it, then disdainfully tossed it into the nearby trash can, sneering at Zhou Yunkang, "Big Boss Zhou, they say there's honor among thieves, but in this day and age, you're still robbing people in broad daylight?"
Zhou Yunkang remained calm, without a hint of panic on his face. Leaning back on the leather sofa, he said confidently, "It seems this matter has nothing to do with you? I advise you, the hero saving the beauty scenario only happens on TV. In reality, you can easily lose your life with just a little carelessness."
"I never thought of playing the hero saving the beauty melodrama. But my goal is roughly the same as yours. You're plotting for wealth and women, while I'm striving for riches and glory." Chen Liuhe's voice was calm.
