Siyi looked at the dazzling neon lights that highlighted the gilded characters of the Golden Throne Entertainment City with annoyance.

Amidst the chaos, there was an undeniable arrogance.

Lin Piaoyun was once again drawn into this nocturnal setting because of her good-for-nothing younger brother.

The fact that someone would call you crying and begging for help late at night shows just how dire the situation must be.

When she burst into the private room that Lin Piaoyun had told her about on the phone, the door was ajar. Lin Piaoyun was squatting on the ground, and next to her was her younger brother, Lin Qizheng, whose mouth was bleeding.

Crimson drops of blood fell one by one onto the equally crimson carpet. Before the blood could be completely drained, the man's hand swiftly and mercilessly slapped the carpet once more.

With a sharp "snap," there was nowhere to hide.

Lin Qizheng groaned, his eyes reddening with pain, but he dared not resist. Lin Piaoyun knelt beside her brother, practically bowing low, pleading, "...Please, please stop hitting him...please stop hitting him..."

None of the people present could hear the pleas for mercy of a frail woman.

Just as the man's large, fan-like hand was about to fall, Siyi stepped in front of Lin Qizheng without thinking, her face full of anger, "What are you doing?"

The man who looked like a bodyguard was taken aback at first, then turned to look at his boss sitting on the sofa, probably asking for instructions with his eyes on how to handle the situation.

Through the bodyguard's tall frame, Siyi couldn't see what was happening on the other side, only hearing a voice, with the usual languor of a young master, its tone so nonchalant, "Hey Lao Zhang, I've only been gone a few days? And you've already caused so much trouble. How exactly are you managing things? Didn't Chengfeng teach you anything? First, a female college student died, and now this male college student is openly demanding her return. How come I didn't know the girls here were so capable? Not content with just going out with clients, they also keep a gigolo, huh?"

Immediately, a voice echoed in an almost fawning tone, "It's my fault for not disciplining him properly and spoiling Young Master Yan's enjoyment."

"Your discipline is more than just ineffective. And who is this person? How dare they barge into a VIP room like this? You usually treat these ladies with great tenderness, so you spoil them and let them run wild like this?"

That lazy voice was even more leisurely, but every word sent a dull ache through Siyi's temples, and her veins throbbed wildly throughout her body—

With that seemingly nonchalant tone and deep voice, how could she not know who the man hidden in the darkness was?

What's more, the bodyguard even addressed him as "Young Master Yan".

Jiang Yan returns, Jiang Yan returns again!

She gritted her teeth in hatred, abruptly stood up, and helped Lin Piaoyun and Lin Qizheng to their feet as well. She spat out each word through gritted teeth, "Jiang Yanhui, what are you sneaking around for? I know it's you. Just say what you want. What kind of man hits people?"

Lin Piaoyun hadn't expected Siyi to be so blunt right from the start.

She called her at this time because she knew Siyi was a lawyer.

Her brother's situation was too troublesome, and she couldn't afford to offend these people.

However, she didn't want Siyi to get into any trouble because of her.

This Jiang Yanhui is not someone to be trifled with.

And she had just witnessed it herself. Just as she was about to reach out and tug at Siyi's sleeve, a nonchalant male voice came from the other end, "This voice sounds familiar. Do I know you?"

Jiang Yan lowered her feet, which were crossed at her knees, and leaned forward, disappearing into the darkness.

Siyi felt a blur before her eyes and she could clearly see that almost perfect face. His natural domineering aura gave people an invisible pressure.

He exuded a lazy aura, yet carried a coldness that made him unapproachable.

Her anger flared up instantly. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I don't care if you know me or not, but as a lawyer, I'm giving you a serious warning: your actions are illegal! What gives you the right to hit someone?"

Jiang Yan looked at her with a half-smile, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Did you see me hit him?" She then glanced around. "Hmm? I hit someone?"

The crowd immediately erupted in laughter, and the man in the lead, with his obsequious expression, was utterly repulsive. "Young Master Yan, why would you need to hit someone? Your hands are noble, Young Master Yan, how could you possibly hit such a lowly bitch?"

His expression changed instantly, and he looked at Siyi arrogantly, "I was the one who hit him. You're a lawyer, right? You can sue me if you want! He's not dead yet, is he? I can't be charged with murder, and besides, this kid broke the law first."

"Who do you think you are? What did he do wrong to deserve this beating?"

Siyi looked up, her eyes filled with a cold light. "This is a society governed by the rule of law. Do you really think you can cover up everything?"

"One hand can't cover up the whole sky."

Jiang Yan gently raised her hand, and the men surrounding her immediately stepped back. He fiddled with the buttons on his shirt cuffs, took two steps forward, and his tall figure suddenly closed in on Si Yi, instantly wrapping his arms around her waist.

Siyi struggled for a moment, but he was faster. He reached out with his other hand, firmly pinched her chin, and narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the girl in his hand by the dim light of the wall lamp.

Her small face, with its clear black and white eyes, pert little nose, and rosy lips, made you want to bite them at first glance.

She was quite attractive, especially with her fiery personality. He was even more intrigued by the image of her upright and dignified demeanor in court.

"Jiang Yan, let me go—"

"Shh-"

He chuckled softly, his voice unusually wicked, "So it's Attorney Ye Siyi. No wonder her voice sounded so familiar. It's all my fault, how could I forget my darling Sisi? We slept together just two days ago..."

The men in the room laughed, their voices suggestive and brimming with confidence.

Siyi then realized, in a daze, that there were five or six people sitting in this huge private room.

They were all men of noble birth, impeccably dressed and dignified in appearance.

In this place of debauchery, there is no lewdness in their expressions, only sharp eyes that can ruthlessly peel away a layer of skin from others.

She thought that Piaoyun must have gotten into big trouble today, so she had to calm down.

Although she is a lawyer, she also knows that the law does not have the power to instill fear in certain people in certain situations.

She forced herself to calm down and slowly said, "You don't deserve to call me Sisi! Your so-called 'sleeping together' was nothing but drunken promiscuity. Young Master Yan, you always remember it, is it because you still can't forget me? Let go—"

Jiang Yanhui seemed used to her sharp tongue and simply smiled.

That stunningly handsome face drew closer and closer to her, and their breaths instantly mingled.

Siyi instinctively held her breath, trying to turn her head to avoid his breath on her face, but he gripped her chin tightly, preventing her from moving an inch. "What if I really can't forget you? You smell so good, so incredibly alluring..."

You—shameless!

"Thank you for the compliment."

He raised an eyebrow, loosened his grip on her slightly, but suddenly changed the subject, "You want to save him, don't you?"

Siyi bit her lip hard, and after a long while, she said, word by word, "If he owes you money, just name a amount, and I'll pay it back for you..."

"Being a lawyer is very lucrative, isn't it?"

His thumb stroked her pointed chin, but his icy black eyes were fixed on Lin Qizheng. "You're lucky to have such a good sister, but unfortunately, what he owes me isn't money."
