After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Zhu Jinming was wary of him, mainly because there were many people on his side, and he would likely not get the better of him.

"You little bitch, you wait, don't think they can protect you. I'll fucking kill you sooner or later!" After uttering these harsh words, Zhu Jinming suddenly remembered something and licked his lips.

"You've been putting on an act all this time, haven't you? Trying to string me along so you can get a better price? Fine, I'll find a few men to serve you properly another day."

Xia Youyou's face turned deathly pale.

Zhu Jinming looked smugly at the trembling figure, just about to turn and leave.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind, "You little bitch, you just wait..."

After Lu Sijian finished playing the recording, she commented objectively, "Wow, there's a prison reserve officer here. I wonder what Old Master Zhu will think when he hears this."

Zhu Jinming turned around in disbelief. "You bitch, you dare to record this?"

He rushed over desperately, trying to snatch the phone, but Sheng Yunchao grabbed his wrist, her peach-blossom eyes filled with icy sharpness, "You dare to insult her?"

Zhu Jinming was still cursing and swearing. He tried to pull his hand back, but the other person was too strong. He and Sheng Yunchao exchanged a glance and were so frightened by the ferocity in the other person's eyes that they dared not say a word.

Sheng Yunchao: "Remember this, today I, Sheng Yunchao, am going to beat you up. If you want revenge, just come find me."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again, "If you dare to cause trouble for the three girls present today, I will make you wish you were dead."

Uncle Ling couldn't help but clap his hands slightly; his young master was so handsome!

Zhu Jinming felt like he was going to die of anger. That old bastard must have done it on purpose!

Unfortunately, he was completely helpless against Sheng Yunchao, mainly because he couldn't compete with the company or win a fight.

They could only slink away with their assistant.

"It's alright, it's nothing now." Lu Sijian turned around to comfort Xia Youyou, who was leaning against her back, trembling with fear.

"Lu Sijian, what should I do? He will definitely not let me go!" Xia Youyou looked helpless.

Shen Baolin said impatiently, "No one forced you to say that. Didn't you consider the consequences before you said it?"

She stared at Xia Youyou, thinking, "This girl is crazy, she's practically leaning into Lu Sijian's arms."

"Say less about her," Lu Sijian frowned.

I'm only doing this for your own good, so that people won't take advantage of you!

Shen Baolin was so angry that she also criticized Lu Sijian, "Why were you so impulsive? Young Master Sheng already stood up for you, did you really need to go and beat him up again? And you even deliberately hit him with the sole of your shoe! What man can stand such humiliation? Aren't you just escalating the conflict!"

Sheng Yunchao said calmly, "Is that so? But I think this kind of person deserves a beating. Since he's being so obnoxious, we should teach him a lesson he won't forget."

Uncle Ling naturally supported his young master, saying, "We need to let him know that you're not someone to be trifled with, so he'll know to be wary."

Even Xia Youyou whispered, "I think so too. He won't dare to do it again if he doesn't get the better of him."

Shen Baolin glared at Xia Youyou. What business was it of hers here?

Shen Baolin must be furious; she never expected everyone to be on her side.

Why did you bother making a fool of yourself? If you couldn't stand my methods, you should have just left in the first place.

[Clearly not wanting to get involved, yet insisting on stepping forward—isn't that foolish?]

Shen Baolin was furious. She hadn't left because she was worried about her!

I didn't come forward voluntarily; I just thought she had discovered my thoughts after hearing her inner thoughts!

I should have just turned around and left!

The group walked back and found that all their colleagues in the private room had left.

As I passed by the hotel lobby, I noticed that Manager Yuan was talking to the front desk staff.

He turned his head and saw Shen Baolin, his expression unchanged. "Baolin, do you know why Young Master Zhu suddenly left? I just chased after him and called him, but he didn't even respond."

Shen Baolin's heart skipped a beat. Zhu Jinming had been beaten up; the cooperation was definitely over.

She didn't know how to explain it to Manager Yuan and felt extremely guilty.

At this moment, Lu Sijian's inner voice rang in my ears again.

[Manager Yuan, did you sneak off to the front desk to get an invoice? You can then get reimbursed by the company and make a nice little extra buck.]

Shen Baolin took a deep breath. She didn't believe that Manager Yuan was that kind of person. Lu Sijian must have deliberately let her hear these things.

She'd already fallen for it once, so she wasn't going to be fooled this time!

"Sir, that's ready for you..." The receptionist winked at Manager Yuan.

"What's ready?" Sheng Yunchao asked with a smile.

The receptionist thought the young man in front of her was incredibly handsome! Was he a celebrity? His aura was just too good; that refined and aloof air was something no acting could ever pull off!

Her heart was pounding, and she was starting to lose control.

Besides, this middle-aged man wasn't supposed to pay, yet he secretly came to get an invoice and asked me to cover it up, which was unethical.

“It’s an invoice,” she said quickly and quietly.

"Manager Yuan, did you come here specifically to wait for Baolin?" A louder voice drowned out the receptionist's voice.

[I knew Sheng Yunchao was going to cause trouble again.]

Shen Baolin absolutely mustn't discover that Manager Yuan isn't a good person!

Shen Baolin's face darkened. Although the receptionist's voice was soft, she was listening intently and clearly heard the word "invoice."

Manager Yuan regained his composure. As expected of someone with such strong mental fortitude, even though he almost gave himself away, his expression didn't change.

“Yes, I’m worried about your safety, you two girls.” He glanced at Sheng Yunchao. “Is this your friend? Baolin, tell me quickly, I only believe what you say.”

After Shen Baolin nodded, he apologized sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I need to make sure, after all, Baolin drank a lot of alcohol today, it would be troublesome if she ran into bad people."

Manager Yuan is using his manipulative tactics again.

Lu Sijian smiled meaningfully: "Manager Yuan, you're such a kind person!"

Manager Yuan waved his hand modestly: "No, no, I treat Baolin like my own daughter, so of course I have to take good care of her."

Shen Baolin had a headache. The manager, who was usually as kind and gentle as a father, suddenly seemed like a stranger.

Her phone suddenly rang. It was her father, Mr. Shen, calling to ask if she wanted him to come pick her up.

"Ah Jian, I'll take you home." She turned to look at Lu Sijian.

"Let me see my senior off," Sheng Yunchao said.

Without any hesitation, Lu Sijian said, "Youyou, come ride with me in Sheng Yunchao's car."

Xia Youyou paused for a moment, then nodded.

For some reason, Shen Baolin blurted out, "Then I'll go with you all!"

In the end, Sheng Yunchao drove, Uncle Ling sat in the passenger seat, and the three girls sat in the back.

Shen Baolin and Xia Youyou couldn't stand each other, so Lu Sijian could only sit in the middle.

Xia Youyou started to feel sleepy shortly after sitting down, her head bumping against the car window. Lu Sijian helped her lean on his shoulder.

Shen Baolin stared at it for a while, and the more she looked, the more she found the scene offensive.

"Xia Youyou, weren't you and Zhu Jinming getting along really well before? You even dared to go out to dinner alone with him on your first meeting. Why did you decide to give him up now?"

Fueled by alcohol, she asked with malicious intent.
