Chapter 17

“Shi Ran, I... Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything to me, our family will definitely not let you off. I advise you to... Ah...”

The sharp glass sank into his flesh, causing Liao Feng to roll his eyes in pain.

“Don’t make me ask twice.”

Liao Feng looked at Chu Jinchen in front of him for help. “Third Young Master, save me! Please save me! This woman is crazy!”

Shi Ran looked up at Chu Jinchen gloomily.

Chu Jinchen smiled coldly. “I don’t like to interfere with other people’s business.”

Shi Ran looked away as the glass in her hand pressed another inch deeper. “Seems like you don’t care about your life.”

“Wait, wait, wait!” Liao Feng shouted out in panic.

“I asked someone to look into it myself. I found out that you often come to the Jade Hunter for this guy. But it wasn’t me who attacked him just now.”

With a disaster imminent, Liao Feng couldn’t care less about brotherhood.

Moreover, those people were just hooligans he had hired to humiliate Shi Ran.

The blonde-haired man, who had done the beating, started to tremble upon hearing that, especially when Shi Ran looked over.

An unpleasant stench spread.

“Damn! He peed his pants!” Qiu Yaohang covered his nose in disgust.

After dealing with the blonde-haired man, Shi Ran left VIP room 4 together with Qi Le.

Murder was against the law so she certainly couldn’t kill anyone.

But she wouldn’t be soft when it comes to a person who deserved a lesson either.

When they reached VIP room 3, Qiu Yaohang peeked at Shi Ran from the corner of his eye.

It was hard to imagine how these thin arms and legs had just broken a person’s limbs.

The blonde-haired man’s scream seemed to be ringing in his ears still. Qiu Yaohang sighed.

‘Appearances can be deceiving!’

When they arrived at Chu Jinchen’s private room, the club manager had already got someone to deliver the medical kit.

Qi Le did not want to go to the hospital, so Shi Ran could only personally bandage his wounds.

As soon as she opened the medical box, Chu Jinchen’s voice sounded, “Wenfeng has learned nursing before. It’s better for the professional to do it.”

Ji Wenfeng, who was suddenly called out, was stunned.

“Let me do it.” Ji Wenfeng got up and walked to Shi Ran’s side.

Shi Ran nodded in agreement.

Although she knew a little, most of the time she could only bandage it roughly. Her bandaging skills could not be compared to that of a professional.

“So Sister Shiran, you’re here because Liao Feng forced you to come using your ex lover?” Qiu Yaohang rubbed his chin.

Shi Ran pursed her lips but she didn’t deny it either.

“Liao Feng suffered a loss at your hands this time. He won’t let you off easily. Although this person has the aura of a hooligan, he’s still the crown prince of the Chenfeng Group.”

“I’m afraid that when the time comes, he won’t be able to do anything to you and will vent his anger on your lover instead.”

Shi Ran looked at Qi Le.

He remained silent and allowed Ji Wenfeng to apply the medicine on him.

Ji Wenfeng had a tough face, but his movements were surprisingly gentle.

“Have you thought of resigning, Qi Le?” Shi Ran asked.

In Jade Hunter, a situation like today’s was actually not uncommon.

Many male hosts were likely to have suffered even worse when they had encountered perverted guests.

Qi Le’s numb gaze loosened. He shook his head slowly.

Qiu Yaohang explained, “Although the Jade Hunter is not a place of high morals, the money earned in a day is more than the annual income of an ordinary working family.”

“A lot of people who come to the Jade Hunter to be male hosts are in need of money. If not, who else would want to suffer such humiliation?”

Shi Ran’s fists on her sides clenched and unclenched.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In her previous life, she had offended someone and as a result, her subordinates were captured and tortured to death.

It was what she hated most.

She was not going to allow the tragedy of the past to happen again.

Putting aside the effect the original owner of this body’s emotions had on her,

She knew she had indeed implicated Qi Le this time.

“Qi Le,” Shi Ran whispered.

Qi Le turned his head.

“You-”

She opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she could give him money should he need it.

The words were already on her lips.

She suddenly smiled. “I’ll deal with Liao Feng. I won’t let him affect your work.”

Qi Le’s pupils quivered slightly.

He nodded gently and turned his attention back to the hand holding the gauze.

After Ji Wenfeng bandaged Qi Le’s wound, the manager came over and called Qi Le away.

Qi Le did not speak much from beginning to end. He was like a puppet on a string, lifeless on its own.

After Qi Le left, Qiu Yaohang asked Shi Ran, “What are you going to do?”

Seeing Shi Ran looking over, he added excitedly, “Liao Feng is famous for being a mad dog. Five years ago, the young master of the Chen family offended him. Guess what happened?”

Qiu Yaohang kept them in suspense and Shi Ran couldn’t help but express her curiosity.

“Young Master Chen’s girlfriend was sold to the mountains by Liao Feng’s people. Everyone initially thought that she was studying abroad and they only found out the truth when she escaped last year.”

‘Sold to the mountains?’

Shi Ran regained her focus.

In the book, the original owner of this body had been sold to the mountains.

So Liao Feng was the one who had done it.

“Don’t worry. You’re my artiste, and Qiu Yaohang is your boss. We won’t leave you to fight alone.”

Thinking that Shi Ran was afraid, Ji Wenfeng comforted her.

“Huh?” Qiu Yaohang, who was suddenly dragged into the water, looked stunned.

However, he quickly reacted. “It’s best if you stay with Ji Wenfeng these few days. He’s learned karate before and can protect you...”

Qiu Yaohang then suddenly paused.

What happened in the VIP room 4 just now was still vivid in his mind.

‘But it looked like you won’t need our protection either.’

Shi Ran glanced at the time and got up. “I still have to thank you all. It’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”

She had to resolve Liao Feng’s matter as soon as possible.

Ji Wenfeng picked up his car keys, ready to send Shi Ran off. “I’ll send...”

“I’ll send her back.” Chu Jinchen got up and walked straight out.

Ji Wenfeng paused and secretly exchanged glances with Qiu Yaohang.

‘Surely Third Young Master doesn’t have any interest in Shi Ran, right?’

Hurry up and stop him!

Qiu Yaohang quickly made an ‘ok’ gesture.

He turned only to meet those fathomless black eyes.

His heart stopped.

Qiu Yaohang then said in all seriousness, “We still don’t know what Liao Feng is up to. It’s indeed safer for Jinchen to send Shi Ran back.”

Ji Wenfeng glared furiously.

Damn it, that coward Qiu Yaohang!

“What do you think, Wenfeng?” Qiu Yaohang smiled at Ji Wenfeng.

Ji Wenfeng too was speechless.

Chu Jinchen glanced over.

Ji Wenfeng immediately revealed his eight white teeth. “I have no objections!”

The scene was really hilarious.

Shi Ran laughed and shook her head. She looked at Chu Jinchen and said with a smile, “Then I’ll have to trouble Third Young Master Chu.”

Chu Jinchen smiled and replied, “My pleasure.”

Then, the two left the place side by side.

“Third Young Master knows my goddess?” Ji Wenfeng bumped Qiu Yaohang’s shoulder without holding back.

Qiu Yaohang staggered. “Damn it, can you be gentler to me? Also, why is your goddess changed again?”

“I just felt like it.”

“If you had come back a week earlier, you might have been able to see something interesting. Unfortunately, the traces have disappeared by now.” Qiu Yaohang shook his head regretfully.

“F*ck, Qiu Yaohang! Stop talking in riddles and just cut straight to the point.” Ji Wenfeng kicked him.

Qiu Yaohang dodged the question. “What do you care about their relationship? They can’t be together anyway.”

Ji Wenfeng immediately understood. “You’re right. With Old Master Chu around, the position of Young Madam Chu will only belong to Wen Yufei.”

When Qiu Yaohang saw the look of relief on this fellow’s face, he immediately teased, “You don’t have any ill ideas about Shi Ran right?”

“Get lost!” Ji Wenfeng kicked him again.

Then, he said seriously, “Old Master Chu won’t let any woman other than Wen Yufei enter the family. If Third Young Master really likes Shi Ran, I’m afraid Shi Ran will be targeted.”

“Actually, I think our worries are quite unnecessary. It’s impossible for him to like Shi Ran. To put it bluntly, I don’t think Jinchen even has the seven emotions and six desires.”

At this moment, Chu Jinchen, someone without emotions and desires, was approaching step by step, trapping Shi Ran in his embrace.
