Wang Chao's gaze turned icy, his expression cold and menacing as he stared intensely at the man embracing Lan Ruyu.
Having a history with Lan Ruyu through Pei Donghu, Wang Chao, as Pei Donghu's brother, couldn't stand idly by when he saw another man holding her.
"Who the hell are you, kid?" The man holding Lan Ruyu's gaze turned cold as he raised his head to glare at Wang Chao.
This man had a fierce appearance, with a fierce black dragon tattooed on his face. The dragon's eyes aligned perfectly with his own.
His eyes were just as cold and fierce, clearly belonging to a ruthless individual, sending shivers down one's spine.
At first glance, it seemed as if a black dragon was coiling around his face, fierce and captivating, chilling to the core.
Not only him, but the smiles on the faces of all the men in the booth froze abruptly, replaced by an incredibly chilling aura.
They were all streetwise individuals, covered in countless scars and tattoos, exuding an exceptionally menacing presence. It was clear they weren't good people.
Lan Ruyu also raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Wang Chao.
She didn't recognize Wang Chao and found him to be peculiar.
Wang Chao remained expressionless and directly reached out, pulling Lan Ruyu out of the arms of the man. In a deep voice, he said, "Come with me!"
In that moment, he saw it.
Despite Lan Ruyu's heavy makeup, he recognized her natural beauty and her incredibly alluring figure—curvaceous and seductive, especially her long legs, evoking sensual thoughts.
An angelic face with a devilish figure!
"Let go of me!" Lan Ruyu forcefully shook off Wang Chao's hand and angrily retorted, "Who are you? I don't even know you. What's wrong with your head, randomly telling me to go with you?"
Witnessing this scene, the men exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha, it seems our Sister Lan has a lot of fans."
"That's right, just look at how many fans our Sister Lan has on the singing platform. I guess someone wanted to come and save her."
"Truly overestimating themselves. Doesn't he know who our Sister Lan is?"
"I think he's probably a die-hard fan!"
"Under the young master's management, Sister Lan's fans on Douyin have reached millions, and she's even ventured into product endorsements. In my opinion, this fan must be Sister Lan's most loyal supporter!"
"Hahaha, how can there be such a foolish man in the world?"
The men burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery. Some even laughed so hard that tears streamed down their faces.
The man who had been holding Lan Ruyu earlier joined in the laughter, taking a puff from the cigarette on the table before patting the seat beside him. He coldly stared at Lan Ruyu and commanded, "Little Lan Lan, come here!"
His voice was not loud, but it carried a commanding tone.
His gaze was sharp and cold, like that of a hawk.
Lan Ruyu trembled all over and immediately put on a coquettish smile. "Brother Hou, I'm here!"
After saying that, she walked towards the man, displaying an ingratiating and flattering expression.
Wang Chao's expression darkened, and he once again grabbed Lan Ruyu's wrist, speaking in a deep voice, "Miss Lan, I have something to say to you."
"You bastard! I don't even know you. Why are you grabbing me? Let go!" Lan Ruyu angrily retorted.
"I just want to say a few words, and then I'll leave," Wang Chao's gaze was resolute as he refused to let go.
"Let go!" Lan Ruyu struggled furiously in anger.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from Wang Chao's grip.
The man, witnessing Wang Chao's persistent hold on Lan Ruyu, had a sudden change in expression. His face turned cold, and his gaze became as sharp as a knife.
An icy, chilling aura emanated, causing the temperature in the room to drop further, making everyone feel as if they were trapped in an icy cellar, shivering uncontrollably.
Seeing the change in Brother Hou's expression, Lan Ruyu's face also changed, and she glared at Wang Chao on the spot. "Release your hand. I have nothing to say to you."
Wang Chao might not understand, but she knew Brother Hou's character very well.
Brother Hou, whose real name was Hou Xiangwang, was extremely ferocious and ruthless. Once someone provoked him, he would cut off that person's ears and force them to eat them.
If someone angered him to the extreme, Hou Xiangwang would stop at nothing to kill that person and throw their body into the sea as fish food.
Lan Ruyu was terrified of Hou Xiangwang and dared not cross his wishes.
"I have something to say to you. Do you still remember Pei Donghu?" Wang Chao said.
Pei Donghu?
When she heard that name, Lan Ruyu's expression changed, and her pupils contracted several times.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Let go!"
However, she quickly regained her composure and kicked Wang Chao hard in the abdomen.
Wang Chao allowed her to kick him but refused to let go, saying earnestly, "Come with me to a quiet place, just for a few words, and then I'll leave."
Although Lan Ruyu's expression changed subtly when Pei Donghu's name was mentioned, she quickly regained her composure.
However, Wang Chao immediately noticed that there was unfinished affection in Lan Ruyu's heart when it came to Pei Donghu. She might still have feelings for him.
That's why he wanted to help Pei Donghu salvage this relationship.
Seeing Wang Chao ignoring him, Hou Xiangwang's gaze became even colder, as sharp as a knife. He uttered coldly, "Get him, chop off his hand for me!"
Clang!
As he spoke, a burly man with tattoos on his arms stood up, grabbed a watermelon knife from the table, and fiercely swung it towards Wang Chao's wrist.
"Looking to die!"
Wang Chao's gaze turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, a silver needle as fast as lightning pierced into the acupoint of the burly man.
Boom!
Before the burly man's knife could reach Wang Chao, he collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.
"I hate it when people interrupt me while I'm talking, being noisy!" Wang Chao uttered coldly.
"You bastard!"
Hou Xiangwang and the others all had cold expressions, suddenly standing up and surrounding Wang Chao, their eyes filled with hostility.
Especially Hou Xiangwang, his gaze became even colder, and he menacingly said, "Kid, do you dare to give rise to trouble in front of me, Hou Xiangwang? Are you looking to die?"
"Get lost!" Wang Chao stared coldly at Hou Xiangwang.
"What did you say?" Hou Xiangwang's gaze grew even colder.
He had been in the underworld for so long, but it was the first time he had been so blatantly disregarded by someone!
Wang Chao not only stole his woman right in front of him, but also knocked down his subordinates. And now he was telling him to get lost, clearly not taking him seriously!
"I said, get lost!" Wang Chao uttered coldly.
Hou Xiangwang, consumed with anger, sneered and glared at Wang Chao. "Kid, you have some nerve. Do you know who I am?"
"Who you're has nothing to do with me," Wang Chao replied expressionlessly.
Hou Xiangwang chuckled coldly, his gaze turning extremely chilling, filled with killing intent. "Listen carefully, kid. My name is Hou Xiangwang. I am the owner of this nightclub. My sworn elder brother is Yang Ao, and he's the nephew of Cui Hong, one of the Four Great Kings under Lafayette."
"Lan Ruyu is my brother's plaything. She must stay within the premises of our nightclub and not leave my sight."
"If you dare to take her away, I guarantee you will have no resting place in death!"
