Meanwhile, Lu Wei unb.u.t.toned his suit before grabbing a stool for himself beside his sister. He was just going to take care of her while Zhi Xi tortured the men, one by one. As he caressed her head affectionately, the girl closed her eyes and rested her head against his shoulder. The man took a deep breath, allowing her to hold onto his left hand, so she could feel secure and fall asleep peacefully. By this time, Zhi Xi had stood up and sat beside them. A few seconds later, a person from the club staff approached him with a knife. "You asked for it, Sir?", he asked.
"Give it to the man lying beside the table.", Zhi Xi commanded, pointing his chin towards an old groaning man.
The employee nodded his head with a smile and handed the knife to the guy. "What are you doing, Xi?", Lu Wei asked.
"Enjoying to my heart"s content.", Zhi Xi winked, turning to look at the man with the knife in one of his hands confusedly, "Now. Hold it firmly and stab yourself in the palm of the other hand."
The crowd broke out into a series of heated discussions the moment the words left Zhi Xi"s mouth. Everyone had heard rumors about the Superfamily"s barbaric methods before. But no one had ever witnessed their rage, until today. This was scary. Petrifying, actually. Asking for someone to hurt themselves. That was much too brutal.
"Don"t you think you are being too insensitive, President Zhi?", at this time, Zhao Chenhua"s voice resounded throughout the club. The woman walked towards the siblings furiously and barked, "And for whom? Your lovely little sister?"
"Precisely.", Zhi Xi glared straight into the woman"s eyes, "For our sister."
Zhao Chenhua was taken aback when she realized that neither of the two men were attempting to dodge or deny her accusations. Instead, they acknowledged it entirely. They even seemed to enjoy the changes in her facial expressions, from anger to shock. No doubt they were the Rong twins" elder brothers. Cunning and crafty.
"You can"t.", the girl gritted her teeth, "This is illegal. Even if they tried to humiliate your sister, they should be reported to the police."
"Well... you seem to have observed a lot from the other end of the club, Ms. Zhao.", Lu Wei stated, "We never said anything about "humiliation", did we? Does that mean you "are" involved?"
"N... No. I am-"
"Worried about the law.", Zhi Xi cut in, "Understandable. But this doesn"t concern the PD. It concerns the Military. An attack against Military Chief results in "shoot-at-sight", according to the protocols. We are just helping the Armed Forces, you see."
"You can"t do this!", the woman yelled.
"You wouldn"t want to cross the Lu family, Ms. Zhao. Believe me.", Lu Wei smiled, "Leave or stay. But do not interfere."
Zhao Chenhua turned to look at Huang Biu anxiously, but the woman diverted her gaze elsewhere, making clear she wasn"t going to rescue her from the ordeal this time. Who told her to be so impulsive? It was the Superfamily, for G.o.d"s sake. Not a single member of it accepted threats.
"So where were we?", Zhi Xi smirked, rubbing his hands, a glint of excitement visible in his eyes, "Stab your palm."
"Pl... please sir. I am... sorry.", the man pleaded, begged.
"It would take me five minutes to get your family location.", Zhi Xi shrugged, pulling out his phone.
"No... Don"t!", the old man cried out.
"Then do it.", said Zhi Xi, solemnly.
A few minutes ago, the same man had enjoyed the thought of smas.h.i.+ng his lips against Rong Xinghe"s every curve of the body. And now, he felt as if agreeing to Huang Biu"s offer was the worse decision he had ever made. Despite knowing that the Superfamily had a reputation for protecting their own, he had foolishly stepped into her trap. What happened in the end?
He couldn"t blurt out her name either. She was equally dangerous. She was one of the Huangs, after all. All he could do was accept the consequences of his choices now.
Soon enough, a scream resonated throughout the club, as most of the audience covered their wide-open eyes and mouths. Blood flowed down the wooden floor and soaked the green fancy carpet, at the end of it. The man shrieked, struggled. Desperately. But didn"t dare to pull out the sharp metal.
"Not bad.", Zhi Xi chuckled coolly, "I was wondering if you could twist it. While it is still inside, of course."
"Urgh!", the man wailed, following the orders. He knew he had no other option left.
"Keep doing it.", Zhi Xi ordered, satisfied.
"This is a public place, President Zhi.", Zhao Chenhua spoke up again, "Everyone is watching. Please stop."
"What would you do if we wouldn"t?", Zhi Xi raised his brows curiously.
"I... I will...", the woman contemplated for a few seconds, "I will call the club security. This is a private club. You can"t have your way in here!"
"Is it?", Lu Wei tilted his head in a challenging manner, "Go ahead, then."
"I... won"t hesitate.", Zhao Chenhua hissed. Since she had already started the battle, she had to end it. She "needed" to end it. And this seemed to be the only way to do that.
"What is happening over here?", a young man in a black and white tuxedo suit walked in shortly after, looking at Zhao Chenhua. "Is everything okay, Ma"am?", he asked, tapping his batch, having the word "Manager" inscribed over it.
"Thank G.o.d you are here.", Zhao Chenhua let out a sigh of relief, "Please ask for these two men to leave. They have been creating such a mess."
"That"s enough, Xiao Hua!", Huang Biu walked in from the woman"s behind and squeezed her shoulder softly, "Watch your language."
"No! I will not.", the woman shook her head violently, "One of these men is Xiao Weng. He is my fiance, Biu.
"Mr. Zhi will ask him to chop off his own hand next. I can"t let that happen. Okay? So I am not stopping."
"You can just apologize to President Zhi and President Lu on behalf of your boyfriend, Chenhua.", Huang Biu acted righteously, "They will be merciful then, I am sure."
"They need to leave this place, Biu.", Zhao Chenhua protested, "They are monsters! No mirth can be expected from them." She then turned to face the young manager, "Ask them to leave, Manager!"
"Come on, Manager.", Lu Wei looked at the young man, "Won"t you kick us out?"
"I am incredibly apologetic for all the discomfort you"ve been caused tonight here, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Zhi.", the manager bowed down courteously, as if he was kneeling in front of the devil himself, "Please tell us if there is a way to compensate for that."
"What are you talking about, Manager?!", Zhao Chenhua snapped at the man, "This is a private club. They can"t take the law into their hands here. Why are you-"
"I suggest you think before you speak, Madam.", the manager cut her off indignantly, "President Zhi and President Lu are the owners of this nightclub. They have invested in here."
"You better not tell them what to do here."
