Chapter Index

    Zhou Xue seemed uneasy after getting in the car.

    Including her, there were only three people in the car.

    One driver, and an indistinguishable young man in the front passenger seat.

    Zhou Xue sat in the back seat looking restrained and anxious.

    “Miss Zhou wipe your face. It’s unforgivable for anyone to lay hands on a girl.”

    After about two or three minutes of driving, the young man in the front handed Zhou Xue a wet wipe without turning.

    “Thank you.”

    Hearing this Zhou Xue took the wet wipe and gently wiped her face, gritting her teeth at Zhao Qing.

    “Miss Zhou, do you want revenge?”

    The young man in the passenger seat asked again.

    Zhou Xue was taken aback: “You’re their boss.”

    “Never mind who I am. Do you want revenge on Zhao Qing? Miss Zhou, a beautiful woman like you deserves more than just spending his money.”

    “You were only having some drinks but he humiliated and slapped you in public. Aren’t you angry, Miss Zhou?”

    “If Miss Zhou feels indignant and angry I can help you with revenge. But if you feel you deserve shame and beating, you can get off the car at the next stop.”

    The young man in the front didn’t answer Zhou Xue’s question, but pretended to be neutral, actually inciting and tempting her.

    Zhou Xue, already conceited and petty, harbored hatred for Zhao Qing.

    After hearing the young man’s instigation, her hatred intensified.

    “Who are you, and why help me with revenge?”

    Zhou Xue asked the young man, knowing he wouldn’t help without reason. No one’s that kind-hearted.

    “To be honest, Zhao Qing and I have a minor conflict. If Miss Zhou cooperates, he’ll get a painful lesson.”

    The young man sighed with gritted teeth, as if eager to tear Zhao Qing apart.

    Zhou Xue nodded, it made more sense now, her wariness eased slightly.

    “How do I cooperate?”

    Zhou Xue wanted to teach Zhao Qing a lesson too.

    “Simple, just arrange to meet him alone and leave the rest to me. My people will take care of him.”

    “I’m sure it’s not difficult for Miss Zhou.”

    The young man resumed his casual demeanor.

    Zhou Xue nodded: “Alright, I agree. I’ll arrange to meet him at 2 AM.”

    She felt confident about this.

    “Then we have a deal.”

    The young man in the passenger seat smiled faintly.

    ……………

    2 AM.

    Zhao Qing, sleeping soundly after drinking, received a call from Zhou Xue.

    “Hello.”

    “Zhao Qing, I want to see you.”

    Zhou Xue’s cold voice came through the phone.

    “Heh, what do you want? Zhou Xue, it’s over between us. Don’t bother me again.”

    Hearing Zhou Xue’s voice made Zhao Qing uneasy, but he firmly refused.

    “Is your heart that cruel, Zhao Qing? We shared love once. I’ve had too much to drink and I’m wandering alone. Aren’t you afraid I’ll be harmed?”

    Zhou Xue’s voice carried a hint of tears. Green tea girls know how to tug on a man’s heartstrings.

    Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment before replying: “Fine, where are you? Let’s meet one last time and lay everything out.”

    By agreeing to see Zhou Xue, he showed himself as a true bootlicker, unable to move on.

    Otherwise, he would’ve hung up, blocked, and deleted her entirely.

    “I’m at New Qingjiang Street…”

    Zhou Xue gave an address then hung up.

    “Toot~ toot~ toot~”

    Listening to the busy tone, Zhao Qing stood dazed for a while, then slapped himself hard.

    “Slap!”

    The sound echoed through the room.

    “You idiot! Just this one last time.”

    Mumbling to himself, Zhao Qing got dressed, grabbed his car keys, and left.

    If he didn’t really love her, why would he willingly be a bootlicker?

    Those who’ve never been a bootlicker can’t understand their mindset.

    Over twenty minutes later, Zhao Qing parked his car outside the 24-hour supermarket Zhou Xue mentioned.

    He called Zhou Xue: “I’m at the supermarket entrance. Where are you?”

    “I’m inside. You’ll see me when you come in.”

    With that, Zhou Xue hung up again.

    She still held the upper hand.

    “Damn.”

    Zhao Qing cursed and got out of his car, heading towards the supermarket.

    After a few steps, he sensed something was wrong.

    Several people emerged from cars on the side of the road, approaching him.

    Sensing danger, Zhao Qing turned and ran back to his car without hesitation.

    “Bang!”

    A black Volkswagen suddenly barreled out, hitting Zhao Qing’s car, blocking his escape.

    “Brother, come with us. Let’s not make this harder.”

    Eight young men surrounded Zhao Qing, closing in.

    “Damn you, Zhou Xue!”

    He finally realized Zhou Xue had lured him out intentionally, losing all hope.

    “Get him!”

    After brief resistance, Zhao Qing was beaten and dragged into a roadside Audi A6.

    Zhou Xue was never inside the supermarket. She was home the whole time, luring Zhao Qing out with a phone call.

    This proves bootlickers never meet a good end.

    “Who are you? Where are you taking me? How much did Zhou Xue pay you? Let me go, I’ll pay double.”

    In the car, sandwiched between two men, Zhao Qing thought they were sent by Zhou Xue.

    “Slap!”

    The man next to him slapped his face, coldly ordering, “Shut up!”

    Feeling the burning pain, Zhao Qing dared not speak further.

    However, he made a judgment.

    These people might not be Zhou Xue’s, but definitely connected to her.

    Helping Xu Shaochen got him into trouble with too many.

    No suspects came to mind.

    Over half an hour later, the car entered a community.

    With a gun to his head, Zhao Qing was gagged and taken to the 17th floor.

    “Knock knock knock…”

    A young man knocked on the door.

    Moments later, the door opened, and Zhao Qing was pushed inside.

    He almost stumbled but steadied himself, scanning the living room.

    A young man sat on the sofa, eyes fixed on the football broadcast.

    Several tall, strong men stood around the room, all with bulging waists.
