Chapter 57: What Made Her Deserve The Attention Of Two Prominent Men At The Same Time!
In the past, she had been reluctant to let Huo Ci know about her dark history and had tried to hide it as much as possible due to her admiration for him.
However, he had never once looked her in the eye ever since she had gotten into the company.
So what if he knew now?
It would not matter!
Everyone was trying to survive in the entertainment circle, so one had to know how she had gained social mobility in the entertainment circle despite lacking a background and a support network.
“Let her go.” Huo Ci stopped in his tracks and turned his head.
“Sixth Master, this is between me and her.” Xu Qiang smiled. “I would like the Sixth Master to be more magnanimous. Do me a favor.”
“What if I don’t want to do you this favor?” Huo Ci’s lips curled up coldly, his eyes glinting with a perilous expression.
So now anyone could rise above him and stick their noses up in the air?
“Sixth Master, don’t tell me this b*tch has caught your eye!”
Huo Ci raised an eyebrow and, without objecting, he strode over to pull Du Manqing away, kicking Xu Qiang to the ground in the process.
Xu Qiang had not expected him to start a fight. With a bam, he was booted to the stone stairs behind, which caused him to cry out in pain.
When he looked up at the man in front of him, the man was up in arms, reeking of a b.l.o.o.d.y, murderous spirit. While retreating in horror, he begged. “Sixth Master, we can talk this out. Don’t resort to a fistfight!”
“Did I use my fists?” Huo Ci strolled over before giving him another kick. “This Old Man has obviously used his legs. What kind of thing are you? Why would you make me use my hands?”
“I’m not a thing. Sixth Master, we can talk this out…” Xu Qiang tried to stay calm, but his face was the color of a pig’s liver.
He had always known that Old Six from the Huo Family was not a good man, yet that was the first time he had experienced his anger.
Huo Ci waved at his men and ordered them. “Beat him up!”
“Sixth Master, Sixth Master…” Xu Qiang stared at the few bodyguards surrounding him in horror. He then screamed at the top of his lungs. “Sixth Master, we can talk this out! I can give you anything you want…”
By then, the bodyguards had already rushed forward and beaten him up!
Two minutes later, Xu Qiang was lying on his stomach half-dead as he cried out in pain on the ground.
Huo Ci walked over and looked down, arrogance radiating from him. Then, he booted his face before stepping forcefully on it. “Remember, anyone who dares to call themselves Old Man in front of me will end up being beaten until they are Grandsons!”
“Yes, yes.” Xu Qiang nodded his head like a grandson, curling his body up in pain.
Was this vindictive revenge?
He knew how much he was worth and he did not desire to die yet.
Besides the Third Master, the only other man who should not be offended in the capital was the Sixth Master of the Huo Family.
The Third Master did things out in the open.
On the other hand, the Sixth Master liked to do things behind closed doors. He was known to be petty and merciless. He also liked to bear grudges.
Du Manqing’s arms were wrapped around herself as she gazed gratefully at the tall and handsome man in front of her. “Boss, thank you.”
“Take her back!” Huo Ci ordered before he took one more look at Xu Qiang. “If I find out that you’ve caused her trouble again in the future, this Old Man will throw you into the river to feed the fish!”
That sc.u.mbag!
How dare this coward bully a person working for his company?
Du Manqing watched as Huo Ci’s figure disappeared from the surface of the river quickly, getting further away on a speedboat. The admiration in her eyes dispersed slowly, replaced by a sense of jealousy and sinisterness.
He was there to find Ling Sheng!
But what did Ling Sheng have that made her deserve the attention of two prominent men at the same time?
Huo Ci got on the cruise ship and stormed angrily to the VIP Lounge.
An Yan blocked the entrance. “Sixth Master, my master is resting now. You can’t go in.”
