Qiao Nuo's strength was truly beyond her control, and the bottle shattered instantly. The Fat Man clutched his head and toppled to the side.
Blood from his head splattered onto Qiao Nuo's face and chest, instantly staining her white shirt red.
Startled, Qiao Nuo jumped up from the coffee table and instinctively took a few steps back, almost wanting to flee.
Inside the private room, chaos erupted as the Fat Man's subordinates shouted to help him. Two men rushed forward and grabbed Qiao Nuo to prevent her from escaping.
"Boss, are you okay?" one of the subordinates asked anxiously while supporting the Fat Man.
The Fat Man was momentarily dazed; everything around him was bathed in red from the blood, but he could still see the person who had just hit him.
"Let go of me!" Qiao Nuo struggled against their grip. She saw the Fat Man approaching with a fierce expression and knew this situation had escalated. There was no way she would escape easily today!
Desperately, she fought to break free from the two men who were twice her size and strength. In moments of fear, people often discover boundless potential.
As she struggled, the Fat Man had already reached her side and slapped her hard across the face, making stars dance before her eyes.
"Damn it, how dare you hit me? You’ll regret this today!" he growled, clutching his head.
Qiao Nuo was still in a daze from the slap, her mind clouded.
"Today, I’ll show you what happens when you go against me!" The Fat Man shouted at his subordinates and the princess in the room.
He couldn’t afford to lose face in front of these people; being struck by a waitress would ruin his reputation.
"Everyone, get over here!" he pointed at several subordinates. "If you want to keep your dignity, you better serve my men right now!"
Qiao Nuo's mind was in a haze as she tried to comprehend the man's intentions. With so many men around, what did he want from them?
"Let me go! What you're doing is illegal! I can report you!" Qiao Nuo struggled desperately, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. "Please help me! You can't let them do this to me... We work together..."
After her attempts to escape proved futile, Qiao Nuo turned to the princesses for help once more, but they ignored her, their faces only showing a hint of pity.
Several men approached her and suddenly ripped open her shirt, causing a chill to wash over her chest.
No, this can't be happening!
Qiao Nuo cried out for help, screamed, and fought back until she was utterly exhausted. She felt like a rag doll tossed onto the sofa as several men closed in on her...
She was filled with despair. What could she do?
Just as they were about to tear off her pants, the door to the private room was flung open from the outside. A group of men in black suits rushed in, swiftly subduing those inside before they even had time to react.
In the midst of the chaos, Qiao Nuo caught a clear glimpse of Jin Chengyan's face.
The light from outside illuminated him as he stood there like a hero descending from the clouds!
"Who the hell are you..."
Before the fat man could finish his sentence, one of Jin Chengyan's men seized his arm and pinned him down onto the coffee table with such speed that no one saw how it happened.
Everyone in the room was quickly controlled by Jin Chengyan's team while Qiao Nuo lay helplessly on the sofa.
Alice watched her boss standing at the door without any intention of moving forward and took it upon herself to approach Qiao Nuo.
However, Jin Chengyan was quicker. He removed his suit jacket and walked over to Qiao Nuo, half-embracing her and wrapping his jacket around her shoulders while gently brushing aside her disheveled hair.
“Look at you, insisting on doing something so thankless,” Jin Chengyan's reproachful voice reached Qiao Nuo's ears, causing her to break down completely.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
No one had ever cried in front of Jin Chengyan so ungracefully and without restraint. He seemed to have no other choice but to gently pat her shoulder.
Qiao Nuo was truly terrified. If Jin Chengyan hadn't come, she would have… At this thought, she lunged into Jin Chengyan's arms, holding him tightly!
Jin Chengyan was taken aback, looking down at the girl in his embrace. She clung to him as if she had grabbed a piece of driftwood in the ocean, refusing to let go and carelessly wiping her snot and tears on his expensive shirt.
“Take me away from here, please…” Qiao Nuo's voice was soft.
“Okay.” Jin Chengyan nodded, but he knew he still had to deal with the mess in the room.
He grasped Qiao Nuo's hand, trying to get her to release him; otherwise, he really couldn't move. However, Qiao Nuo refused to let go.
“Be good, just loosen your grip for now. I need to finish dealing with these people before I can take you away.”
His words seemed soothing. Qiao Nuo obediently released her hold and curled up on the sofa, watching how this man who had come out of nowhere helped her stand up for herself.
