Shen Lang walked toward the roadside and, turning his head, saw a familiar BMW X6 parked in front of a small restaurant.
It was Liu Xiaoxiao's car.
Unexpectedly, he ran into her here. Shen Lang thought it would be convenient to hitch a ride, so he walked toward the small restaurant.
At that moment, Liu Xiaoxiao was in an extremely foul mood. She couldn't believe that she had encountered such a situation while just going out to get some takeout.
She remembered that the braised fish she had at a certain restaurant last time was pretty good, so she drove to that restaurant to get some takeout.
However, she had been waiting in the lobby on the first floor for almost half an hour without receiving her order. Instead, a group of burly men surrounded her.
"Miss, our Brother Leopard invites you upstairs!"
Seeing the group of burly men surrounding her, Liu Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. She tried to stay calm and said seriously, "I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone named Brother Leopard!"
The men sneered and, without waiting for Liu Xiaoxiao to struggle, they dragged her upstairs.
Liu Xiaoxiao's pretty face showed a hint of panic. She had never encountered such a situation before. Could it be that she's about to be kidnapped?
As her thoughts ran wild, she was dragged into a suite on the second floor.
A burly man in a suit was sitting on a boss's chair, smiling as he looked at Liu Xiaoxiao. He leisurely pulled out a cigar, and a bodyguard beside him lit it for him.
The burly man was none other than Cao Bao, who had chased Shen Lang in an Audi R8 last time. He was in charge of several streets in the Qinghu district.
Today, while inspecting the area, he unexpectedly spotted the familiar BMW X6 that had left a deep impression on him last time, so he immediately had someone keep an eye on it.
That's how this situation came about.
"What do you want?" Liu Xiaoxiao shook off the two burly men holding her arms and frowned as she asked.
"What do we want?" Cao Bao sneered and snorted, "You have some nerve, woman. Last time, you dined and dashed in a hotel under my control. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly. So it was about last time. It must have been because her car was recognized when it was parked outside.
"So it's about that. It's not a big deal; it was just a drunken mishap with a friend. We were at fault last time, and I can compensate you double!" Liu Xiaoxiao said calmly, trying hard to stay composed.
Cao Bao exhaled a puff of smoke, his lustful eyes roaming over Liu Xiaoxiao's perfect figure. He laughed and said, "It seems you aren't short of money, but why did you dine and dash in a bar under my control? And where is the guy who was with you last time?"
Liu Xiaoxiao replied coolly, "Let's settle this privately. I'll give you 50,000 yuan. Is that enough?"
Cao Bao smacked his lips. "It's not just about the money. You dined and dashed in my place. If people find out, I'd lose face!"
"In this line of work, it's all about reputation. The 50,000 can be compensation, but you still need to bring that guy out. I want to cut out his tongue and see if he'll dare dine and dash again!"
Liu Xiaoxiao's pretty face turned pale. She quickly said, "How about this, I'll compensate you 500,000 yuan, and I hope you won't trouble my friend."
Cao Bao showed a wild grin and shouted, "I told you, it's not about the money! I've got some reputation in Huahai City's underworld. Your friend dared to humiliate me, and I can't let that slide without teaching him a lesson!"
After losing the race last time, Cao Bao was full of frustration. His strong competitive spirit had been severely bruised by Shen Lang's godlike driving skills, and his jealousy was burning.
Moreover, with Shen Lang's arrogant behavior, Cao Bao was feeling extremely irritated. He was determined to teach that guy a harsh lesson and cut out his tongue.
Liu Xiaoxiao was a bit flustered, thinking that Shen Lang must have been asking for trouble by dining and dashing. Now he had provoked the wrong people, hadn't he?
"As long as you let us go, name your price, and I'll transfer the money to your account." Liu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Although she and Shen Lang were enemies, she didn't want to harm him. The other side had the numbers and clearly weren't good people. Liu Xiaoxiao didn't want to push Shen Lang into a dangerous situation.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so devoted, willing to go this far for a man? But it's not going to work! I, Cao Bao, don't like to make things difficult for women. If you're smart, you'd better call that guy over right now! If not, don't blame me for using other methods." Cao Bao laughed wickedly.
Liu Xiaoxiao furrowed her delicate brows and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"
"There is! If you don't cooperate, then you can sleep with me and my brothers for a few nights. If you satisfy us, we'll let this go," Cao Bao said, his eyes fixed on Liu Xiaoxiao's ample chest and slim waist, revealing a lecherous smile.
Upon hearing this, the men in the suite all swallowed hard. Just imagining indulging in such a stunning beauty was almost unbearable.
Anger surged within Liu Xiaoxiao, but she didn't show it in such a situation. She replied coolly, "I'm Liu Xiaoxiao, daughter of Liu Jianguo, the district secretary, and director at Lingya International!"
Having no other option, she revealed her identity, hoping these thugs would back off.
Cao Bao, who wasn't very bright to begin with, flared up as soon as he heard Liu Xiaoxiao threatening him. He shouted, "I don't care who you are! Even if you're a fairy, if I have my eyes on you, don't think you can escape my grasp. If you don't give up that guy, believe me, I'll strip you right here and now!"
Liu Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled with anger. Never in her life had she been so humiliated.
Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao shivering, Cao Bao smirked with satisfaction, thinking she was definitely scared.
This woman appeared aloof and reserved, but she was just a woman after all. Liu Xiaoxiao, with her tall, cold beauty, really stirred Cao Bao's desire to conquer—of course, in the bedroom.
"I advise you not to do anything rash, or I guarantee you'll regret your actions today!" Liu Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. No matter how cold and strong she appeared, she couldn't overcome the current situation.
"Regret? Haha, the word 'regret' isn't in my vocabulary!" Cao Bao snuffed out his cigarette and stood up, walking towards Liu Xiaoxiao.
Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Xiaoxiao's snow-white neck. Unable to bear the pressure and fear any longer, she instinctively backed away, retreating to the window.
Cao Bao's eyes were glued to Liu Xiaoxiao's prominent chest and fair skin. Just imagining touching her made him almost drool.
No, he couldn't resist this woman; the lustful fire inside him was too strong!
Seeing the beauty in front of him, Cao Bao rubbed his hands in delight, about to pounce on her.
"Don't come any closer! Or I'll jump!" Liu Xiaoxiao cried out, panic-stricken as she looked at Cao Bao's lecherous gaze.
"Jump? It's not that easy. I haven't had my fun yet!" Cao Bao sneered, then shouted to the bodyguards beside him, "Hurry up and block this woman!"
Liu Xiaoxiao was utterly terrified, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes. From birth until now, she had never faced such a situation, never imagined that scenes from movies and novels would happen to her.
I've never even been in a relationship or had a boyfriend! Oh God, how could you do this to me?
