Chapter 223 - Manager Tan

Out of the venue came a man in a black suit. He wore an attire that made him look like a manager, but his body didn't resemble a manager at all. The man wasn't too tall about Wang Ming's size, but he had a strong build. The man yelled loudly, which made the guards stop their actions. 

"Someone explain to me what happened!" Glaring at his subordinates, Manager Tan wanted an answer. Tan Guowei have been in the business for many years, even if Wang Ming's in the wrong. They had to investigate everything properly first. If things got violent and Wang Ming has a great backing, then they're all f.u.c.k.e.d.

"Manager Tan. This man here stole an invitation, specifically the invitation sent to Mr. Zhang Hou. We tried to get him to cooperate with us, but he didn't so we had to use force to get him to listen. But he hurt two of our guys instead. Manager Tan, you have to help us!"

Looking at Wang Ming. Tan Guowei appraised him with his experienced eyes. The first thing he noted is that Wang Ming didn't look like a man that could hurt the guards. Even though Wang Ming wasn't exactly lanky, he looked like a white face.

How could he have hurt his guards? Though what caught his attention wasn't Wang Ming but he saw Fu Ya, in his life he had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Though when he saw Ming Ming, he felt bummed. But looking further at her, she didn't look old enough to have a child. They have to be sister he thought.

Normally Tan Guowei would have deescalated the situation, but in front of the beautiful woman he tried to act badass. He hoped to snatch Fu Ya from Wang Ming, if he had such a beautiful girlfriend his life would be set.

"Brat, I'm Tan Guowei the manager here, what do you have to say for yourself? Do you know that stealing the invitation, is a felony? We can easily sue you and put you away for at least a few years. The invitation is an object worth at least a few hundred thousand yuan. Now I'll give you three options, so listen up."

Wang Ming didn't think that the manager would be just as corrupt and stupid as his guards. He cared little about Tan Guowei, as he knew that the man couldn't do anything to him at all. For him, Tan Guowei were acting like a clown.

"1st is to follow us to the backroom, then we'll solve everything the 'quiet' way. After we're done in the backroom, we'll let you go." Hearing Tan Guowei's ridiculous offer, Wang Ming just shook his head. "Well, then the 2nd offer is to wait for the police to come and escort you away, you'll probably going to sit in prison in a few years but that's your fault." Wang Ming once again shook his head. To this Tan Guowei smiled, he hoped that Wang Ming would go to the 3rd option.

"The last option is for you to let the beautiful woman behind you accompany me. If you can swallow the humiliation and let her go with me, we'll scratch all this, okay? I won't pursue you for stealing an invitation and hurting my subordinates. I'll even tell Zhang Hou that we found his invitation."

Tan Guowei kept grinning. He felt like his plan was perfect. Who in their right minds would decline an offer like that? Though one thing he had neglected is that Wang Ming's not guilty, he hadn't stolen the invitation and the only reason he hurt the guards is because they tried to hurt him first. 

He took Wang Ming's silence as the silent agreement, so he walked past Wang Ming to put his hand on Fu Ya. Fu Ya looked confused but mostly disgustedly at Tan Guowei. She didn't know what the man was thinking, she's not an object just because Wang Ming told her to she wouldn't go with another man. She had the urge to not only slap Tan Guowei but also Wang Ming in the head for not saying anything, but she believed that Wang Ming wouldn't let anything happen to her.

As expected, when Tan Guowei's hand was only centimeters away from Fu Ya's b.r.e.a.s.ts, Wang Ming pushed the man back with a powerful push. Tan Guowei has been a guard for many years, his body isn't just for show, he had learnt martial arts for many years. When he felt Wang Ming push on his c.h.e.s.t, his initial reaction was scorn, he didn't believe that Wang Ming could push him away at all.

He had practiced his stance for over 20 years, his stance has become so strong that he could resist 3-4 people. Tan Guowei's finger tips could almost just almost touch Fu Ya's b.r.e.a.s.t. Her papayas looked so tempting, Tan Guowei thought that Fu Ya's the typical gold digger s.l.u.t, so as long as he could scare away Wang Ming she would have no problems with sleeping with him.

But sadly before he could touch Fu Ya he felt his body flew into the wall. Exactly where Wang Ming had sent one guard earlier. Though this time, Wang Ming pushed harder, Tan Guowei felt his back almost burst open from the impact, he even spat out blood from the impact.

Tan Guowei's subordinates felt terrified when they saw how easily Wang Ming had handled their Manger Tan. He's their teacher and usually in training the 4 guards fight against just Manager Tan and most of the time he comes out on top. There's only about 1 out of 10 sessions they win against him. 

The guard who had done all the talking earlier felt terrified, but he had to step up now. They're guards for a prestigious competition they can't let Wang Ming do whatever he wants. "Sir, we won't pursue anything, just get out of here now. Or else I'm going to call more backup. We are just one out of 10 groups that protect this venue! Just leave now and we'll forget this ever happened."

The biggest reason that the guard wanted to let everything go, is that if people find out about how their guard group lost against only one man. They wouldn't be able to get work anymore. They are professional guards with a reputation.

"Just call for reinforcement. But before you do that, call the person you should have called first. Zhang Hou."

"Fine, if you don't want to listen then I'll call him and reinforcements."

The guard didn't want to call reinforcements, but since Wang Ming kept provoking them, he would let him feel the taste of being beaten up by 20 guards. The guard smiled, hearing that most of the other guards would be here in a few minutes. He wanted to see Wang Ming's smug face being beaten up.

But then the guard suddenly realized something he had neglected in his anger and arrogance. Would someone who had stolen an invitation want him to call the person they stole it from? It made no sense. They had never established Wang Ming's background either. What if he is who he says he is? What if their prejudice had been what had stirred up all these problems? 

The guard felt cold sweat all over his body. He had to call Zhang Hou to find out about this. If Zhang Hou finds out that they wanted to beat or have beaten up his guest, then they would definitely lose their jobs, maybe even go to jail. Dialing Zhang Hou's number, the only thing the guard hoped is that Wang Ming is just trying to scare them, and he doesn't actually know Zhang Hou.

"Hello this is Zhang Hou, who is this?"

With a trembling voice the guard said. "Hello, Mr Zhang! I'm one of the venue guards. We have stopped one man who we suspect has stolen your invitation. He isn't cooperating with us at all. Do you know a man who could have your invitation?"

"Are you talking about a handsome man in his twenties with short hair and looks like he shouldn't be here at all?" The guard swallowed slowly and affirmed. "Yes…"

"Stay there, I'm coming out."

Zhang Hou's sentence affirmed everything to him. Wang Ming and Zhang Hou knows each other, which means what Wang Ming had said is true. The only thing he could do now is to plead to Wang Ming and hopefully get him to forgive them.

"Mister! Please forgive us we made an enormous blunder!" The guard bowed his head almost to the ground when he apologized to express how much he regretted his actions. He could only hope now that he could sweet talk Wang Ming somehow to let them go.
