She swallowed.
"Yes, because of Brother Xiao."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
Lin Xiao said nothing, too lazy to waste time with them because Brother Xiao didn't need to and disdained to waste time with such people.
However, Ye Chen absolutely would not allow their Dragon King, their Brother Xiao, to be insulted by such a person.
The War God of Long Country, insulted in public by the lobby manager after their private room was snatched while dining at a restaurant. If this news reached the Northern Territory, the brothers would surely not sit still.
He would have no face to return to them, having followed the Dragon Commander out only for him to encounter such a thing?
"That person, he has no future. The rest of his life will be spent in the hospital. This is the consequence of offending Brother Xiao tonight." Ye Chen sat in the passenger seat, a thing in his hand.
It was...
Zhuang Xiaoyan felt a chill run through her body. It was a handgun!
"If you leave here unharmed tonight, then Brother Xiao's dignity will be completely lost," Ye Chen said, taking out a bullet. He slowly loaded it into the handgun step by step in front of Zhuang Xiaoyan, then pointed the gun at her.
Thump-thump-thump…
Her heart raced to its peak. Zhuang Xiaoyan had never imagined that one day she would be held at gunpoint in her own car.
And all of this stemmed from her having taken a private room earlier.
Would anyone come to save her?
Hurry, someone…
Or would someone call the police? She'd rather go to jail than die…
Just as Ye Chen's gun barrel pressed against her temple, ready to fire, Ye Chen frowned and covered his earpiece. "Yes."
With that, he lowered the gun, snorted, and looked at Zhuang Xiaoyan. "You are lucky. Brother Xiao said not to kill casually."
Thank goodness…
Zhuang Xiaoyan's body went limp, and she slumped onto her seat.
Before she could relax, Ye Chen continued, "Death can be avoided, but punishment is unavoidable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen's palm landed on Zhuang Xiaoyan's face.
*Slap!*
This slap rendered Zhuang Xiaoyan unconscious.
Ye Chen frowned, shook his head, and sighed. This woman was too frail. She had already passed out before the punishment even began.
Since Brother Xiao had said not to cause any deaths, Ye Chen could only give up and leave the car.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Xiaoyan finally regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself in a hospital room, her face filled with terror. She quickly raised her hands to check if they were still there, then moved her legs.
Her legs were still there too… Thank goodness.
"Xiao Yan!"
Her mother was by the hospital bed. Seeing her wake up, she excitedly hugged her and quickly brought over a bowl of porridge. "Come, come, Xiao Yan, drink your porridge."
"Mom…"
Zhuang Xiaoyan took a sip of the porridge, looking confused at the hospital room she was in. "I… why am I here? Why are you here?"
"You silly girl! How dare you say that! How many times have I told you to drink less when you go out? But you never listen!" After seeing Zhuang Xiaoyan take a sip of porridge, her mother put down the bowl, her expression changing, and she began to scold her. "Do you know how much drinking until you black out hurts your stomach? And you got drunk and threw up all over the place in someone's establishment. Fortunately, they called me from your phone. Otherwise, who knows if you'd have been lying on the road or somewhere else!"
