The security guards were all stunned.
Was this girl really this fierce?
She dared to throw a punch right in front of all of them. And not just a light one either—she was brutal, completely disregarding the fact that they were the security at Yulu.
Manager Han had turned pale.
No matter who this girl was, he had to step in today. Otherwise, Yulu’s reputation would be completely ruined.
“Men! Take her down!”
The security guards moved to grab Liu Yutong.
By then, Lin Yue had finally caught her breath and sobbed toward Han Yi: “Manager Han, she hit Young Master Zhou! She even made me slap myself! You have to arrest her! She must pay for today!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure...”
Han Yi had only half-finished his sentence when Liu Yutong cut him off.
“Hold on!”
“Manager Han, are you sure you want to offend someone whose background you know nothing about, just for these two idiots?”
It was the same tactic she had used before, and the effect was just as immediate.
Han Yi flinched and immediately ordered the guards to stop.
He studied the young girl before him. Surrounded by five or six security guards, there wasn’t a hint of fear on her face.
That calmness, that composure—it couldn’t be faked.
She might really be the heiress of some influential family.
Han Yi’s heart began to waver. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
Zhou Heng and Lin Yue panicked when they saw Han Yi hesitating.
They knew this routine all too well.
This girl had used the exact same line to bluff them.
“She’s a fraud! She tricked us the same way! She has no real background—don’t let her fool you, Manager Han!”
“Yeah! She’s a fake! Do something already!”
Han Yi still hesitated. He couldn’t trust just one side’s story.
Sure, Young Master Zhou and Miss Lin had a grudge against her, their families from Zhou and Lin might not fear offending her, but Yulu couldn’t afford that risk!
Just as he was wavering, Zhou Heng yelled out.
“Han Yi! What the hell are you waiting for? Take her down! I’m telling you now—if you let her go, I’ll make Yulu regret it! I’ll make sure you can’t stay in Four-Nine City any longer!”
“Go ahead and act! I’ll take full responsibility for whatever happens!”
Hearing this, Han Yi gritted his teeth, stopped hesitating, and nodded to the guards behind him: “Move!”
But the moment he gave the order, something unexpected happened again.
Bang!
A loud crash came from the courtyard outside. The heavy solid-wood doors had been kicked in from the outside.
Everyone froze in shock at this sudden turn of events.
Han Yi’s face changed, and he spun around to shout: “Who dares to cause trouble at Yulu?! Do you have a death wish?!”
Before he could finish, he saw something he would never forget.
A group of men in black suits, looking like underworld enforcers, surged into the courtyard.
Han Yi and the security guards were caught off guard and immediately surrounded by these men.
Then, a tall, cold-faced young man in black walked up to him. It was Yun Cheng.
Without a word, Yun Cheng slapped Han Yi to the ground, sending stars spinning before his eyes.
“Who did you say has a death wish?”
Trembling, Han Yi dared not speak.
Yun Cheng stepped over him and walked straight to Liu Yutong. Everyone watched in shock as he slightly bowed and addressed her with extreme respect.
“Miss! We were late. Please punish us!”
That single word—“Miss”—stunned the entire room.
Han Yi’s eyes went wide.
Zhou Heng’s mouth hung open.
Lin Yue was dumbfounded again, staring at the scene.
Miss... Miss?
Wait, didn’t she just say she had no background? Then why were these men in black calling her “Miss”?
Liu Yutong looked like she had just realized something, and spoke again, as if slow on the uptake: “Oh, sorry, sorry. I forgot to tell you—I also called over a few people. You don’t mind, do you?”
Zhou Heng and the others: “......”
A few people?! That was a gross understatement!
When Yun Cheng saw that the security guards were still surrounding Liu Yutong and noticed the marks from the scuffle inside, his face darkened.
“Arrest them all!”
His men dispersed instantly, subduing every one of Yulu’s security guards with swift, clean moves.
Two guards tried to resist and were promptly kicked in the back of the knees, dropping to the ground, faces pressed against the floor, unable to move.
Han Yi’s face alternated between red and pale.
Now he finally understood why this girl had been so bold.
She had every right to be.
“May I ask... miss, who exactly are you?”
Liu Yutong said nothing.
Yun Cheng answered for her.
“You’re not qualified to know.”
Though annoyed, Han Yi dared not argue or make any move.
He knew that things had gone far beyond what he could handle.
Zhou Heng finally snapped out of his shock, pointing at Liu Yutong: “You... didn’t you say you were ordinary? Didn’t you say you were messing with us? Then what about these people? Who the hell are you?!”
Liu Yutong looked at him with a half-smile.
“You believe everything I say? Zhou, how have you survived this long with such a low IQ?”
Zhou Heng nearly spat blood.
He had been played!
This girl had played him from start to finish!
Was he a circus monkey to be toyed with like this?
First, she scared him with talk of connections, then claimed it was all a lie, lulling him into complacency—and now this group of men in black calling her “Miss”! What game was this woman playing? Did she get a kick out of messing with people’s heads?
Lin Yue, who had just been ready to gloat, now regretted ever crossing this devil.
Yun Cheng looked at Liu Yutong, waiting for her orders.
Her gaze swept across the room and finally landed on Han Yi.
“Manager Han, right?”
Han Yi trembled. “Y-yes, miss. What are your orders?”
Liu Yutong smiled brightly, but that smile made Han Yi’s skin crawl.
“Relax, I’m not here to tear the place down.”
“These two wastes asked for it. They have no one to blame but themselves.”
“As for you, you’re just doing business. I understand. Today’s incident has nothing to do with you, and I won’t make things hard for you.”
Han Yi let out a sigh of relief. He started to thank her, but before he could finish, Liu Yutong continued.
“However, you’ll have to testify for me.”
Han Yi’s heart sank. “Testify?”
Liu Yutong: “Simple. Young Master Zhou and Miss Lin tried to attack me, and I was only defending myself. It’s self-defense.”
“Then you can call the police and hand them over. That’ll wrap things up.”
Han Yi: “......”
Really, miss? You beat them until their ribs are broken and their faces look like meat platters, and now you want them sent to jail? Is that even fitting? It’s like selling them into slavery and making them count the money!
But he didn’t dare argue. He just nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll definitely testify truthfully!”
Liu Yutong nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the utterly stunned Zhou Heng and Lin Yue. A suddenly meaningful smile spread across her face.
"By the way, let me tell you the truth. I really don't have any connections. 'Miss' is just... what they call me, that's all. If you want to get back at me later, feel free to do so."
"I'm not lying to you this time."
Zhou Heng: "..."
Lin Yue: "..."
Yeah, right, like we'd believe you! This woman doesn't speak a single word of truth!
