Chapter 12 : In a Critical Moment, Qin Hao Takes Action

"Oh, who do we have here, trying to be a hero? Turns out it's you, this dog butting in where it doesn't belong." At this moment, Chen Shao also left his seat and walked to the edge of the stage. "Chen Shao, you can play around, but please don't force others." Young Master Zhang faced Chen Shao with some trepidation, only able to speak up with a stiff upper lip. "Oh, what's wrong with me? I haven't done anything. I just wanted to invite Miss Ye for a few drinks." "Hmph! Mister, please behave yourself. I don't want to drink with you!" Ye Zixuan frowned and interrupted. "Miss Ye, take a look at all this money I have. It's enough to let everyone here watch your performance ten times. That's how sincere I am." "Miss Ye, you better think it through. Today, whether you dance or not is up to you!" Chen Shao approached Ye Zixuan, once again assuming a polite and courteous demeanor. "Chen Shao, you can't force people like this!" Young Master Zhang couldn't help but speak up again. He was truly afraid that Ye Zixuan wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and would give in to Chen Shao. He knew quite a bit about people like Chen Shao in the circles of Jiangcheng. Their most common tactic was to gradually pressure others into submission. "You're meddling too much, Young Master Zhang! I advise you to be sensible and apologize to Chen Shao, then step aside." "If you anger Chen Shao, your family won't have it easy either!" At this moment, a friend who came with Young Master Zhang quickly stepped in when he saw the conflict between him and Chen Shao. "That's right, kid. For our Chen Group, no matter how big your family business is, it's not enough!" "Remember, even the people from the other major families in Jiangcheng would have to give Chen Shao some face." One of Chen Shao's bodyguards spoke up. Upon hearing this, Young Master Zhang's forehead became even more sweaty. He knew that what these bodyguards said was true. After all, the power of his family's influence couldn't compare to the Chen Group. But Ye Miss couldn't just listen to Chen Shao! "Young Master Zhang, I appreciate your kindness, but this is my own business. It's better for you not to get involved." Ye Zixuan didn't want to bring trouble to Young Master Zhang, who had always been good to her. She now knew Chen Shao's identity. The power of the Chen Group in Jiangcheng was immense. Young Master Zhang had come out to stop her, and she was already grateful. "No, I can't let you go with them." Young Master Zhang couldn't back down in front of a woman, especially a woman he had feelings for. Besides, everyone knew that Chen Shao's blatant attempt to invite Miss Ye to drink must have another purpose. Looking at the six people in front of him, Young Master Zhang's eyes still held a hint of bravery. "What the hell are you all standing there for? Useless dogs! Just take him down. If anything happens, I'll take the blame!" Chen Shao, who had been standing on the side, had already lost his patience. To be honest, he didn't like it when others played the hero to save a beautiful woman, especially when it was a woman he had set his sights on. This kind of person needed to be taken down, so he could see how he would play... "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, go together!" The leader among the bodyguards called out to the other two, and they rushed towards Young Master Zhang. Seeing people coming towards him, Young Master Zhang dodged one person's punch by sidestepping. But what he didn't expect was that immediately after, another fist came towards his face. In an instant, Young Master Zhang felt a huge fist smashing into his face! "Ah..." With a cry of pain, Young Master Zhang stumbled and fell off the stage. Then, several bodyguards approached Ye Zixuan. "How about it, Miss Ye? The idiot who tried to stand up for you is gone. Why don't you have a drink with me? It'll all be fine then. Why make such a big fuss?" Chen Shao smiled. "Disgusting! I won't drink with you!" "You shameless bastard! Let me tell you, Ye Zixuan, no one has ever dared to refuse me." "Today, you will dance this dance, and you will drink the wine I offer!" Chen Shao's patience had run out. His face suddenly changed, revealing his sinister side. With that, his subordinates behind him took action. "Hold her down for me!" Chen Shao gave the order, and the other bodyguards immediately rushed towards Ye Zixuan. Their movements were very swift. They had done this kind of thing many times before, following their young master. "What do you think you're doing? Isn't there any justice left?" Ye Zixuan struggled and shouted. "Hahaha, justice? Ye Zixuan, in Jiangcheng, I am justice!" Chen Shao laughed sinisterly. He quite enjoyed hearing the helpless struggles of the women he set his sights on. "Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, two dull thuds sounded near Chen Shao. The two men who were about to grab Ye Zixuan's wrist felt a shadow approaching them, and then they were like being hit by a speeding truck. They were sent flying. The two men flew off the stage and fell onto the dance floor. The two bodyguards were lying on the ground, rolling incessantly. Obviously, they had lost the ability to get up. "It's you? Tha..." Ye Zixuan looked up and saw the resolute face of the man who hadn't bent down to pick up the money earlier. Ye Zixuan was about to thank him. "Sis!" However, a somewhat familiar voice came from the front. Upon hearing it, Ye Zixuan suddenly stopped. This voice... it was! The figure that kicked the two men away was none other than Qin Hao. He knew that his sister Ye Zixuan had always been strong-willed. When Ye Miss and Chen Shao were talking on stage just now, Qin Hao recognized his sister. Ye Zixuan was about to say thank you, but Qin Hao turned his head first and called out. "It's you... you're... Xiao..." Ye Zixuan's mouth hung open as she looked at the tall man in front of her. That distinctively chiseled face exuded determination. His sharp, piercing eyes also gave her a strong sense of familiarity. But she didn't dare to recognize him! Her younger brother Qin Hao had been missing for eight years! Ever since he got into the military academy, they couldn't find him anymore. For these eight years, their family had never stopped searching. Today, even if it really was Xiao Hao standing in front of her, she didn't dare to recognize him! What she feared the most was disappointment! "Sis! It's me, Xiao Hao!" Qin Hao nodded and explained. "Xiao Hao!!" Shock appeared on Ye Zixuan's face, followed by disbelief. Then, it turned into a sense of grievance! Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face. Xiao Hao had come back!
