Chapter 94: Chapter 94: A Sheep Entering the Tiger’s Mouth

"Then go back and tell Yang Xiaodong that I’ll be looking for him in a couple of days for a good, long chat!" Wang Chenning kicked the fat man hard. "Get lost!"

He kicked the fat man straight out the clubhouse doors.

Then he kicked the two bodyguards out of the clubhouse as well.

After being kicked outside, the three of them scrambled to their feet and tumbled into the elevator.

After the three ran off, Wang Chenning met everyone’s stunned and suspicious gazes, then smiled at Luo Yuqing as she walked over. "Was I cool today or what?"

"Beyond handsome," Luo Yuqing said with a giggle. "I’ve never seen a man slap someone’s face with such style. I’m definitely taking you with me next time I go out, so you can have your fill of slapping people."

Their exchange left the employees staring at each other in disbelief.

These two were really something else.

After their banter, Luo Yuqing looped her arm through Wang Chenning’s and asked softly, "Do you really think Yang Xiaodong sent those people to cause trouble?"

Wang Chenning shook his head. "Probably just a setup to frame him. Yang Xiaodong doesn’t have the guts."

"So you do have a brain in that head of yours!" Luo Yuqing giggled, then her voice turned cold. "I’ll investigate this thoroughly. Once I find out who’s behind this, I won’t let them off easy!"

The murderous intent that flashed in her eyes for a split second startled even Zheng Qiuhang, who was standing to the side.

"Let’s go upstairs for some tea," Wang Chenning said, gesturing for Luo Yuqing to proceed.

The murderous look on Luo Yuqing’s face vanished in an instant, replaced by a smile.

"Let’s go then!" she said, proactively taking Wang Chenning’s arm again and deliberately pressing her ample bust against it.

As they walked up the stairs, the soft, full pressure made Wang Chenning’s mouth go a little dry.

He sighed helplessly. "My dear Auntie, does the second daughter of the Luo family always have to bully me like this?"

Luo Yuqing paused for a moment before understanding what he meant, then broke into a giggle. "Oh? And who would you rather have bully you?"

"If you’ve got the guts, then come at me for real!" Seeing that Zheng Qiuhang hadn’t followed them up, Wang Chenning gave her a deliberate squeeze.

Luo Yuqing shivered, then pinched Wang Chenning hard. "You’ve got some nerve! How dare you take advantage of me right in front of your President Zheng?"

After glancing back at Zheng Qiuhang, who seemed a bit out of sorts, Luo Yuqing whispered, "Have you made your move yet?"

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Wang Chenning shook off Luo Yuqing’s arm. "Let go! Stop taking advantage of me!"

Luo Yuqing kicked Wang Chenning and sat down in a huff.

Zheng Qiuhang watched the two of them go upstairs together with a complicated look in her eyes. She sighed inwardly and followed a few steps behind.

Just as she got upstairs, Zheng Qiuhang’s phone started ringing nonstop again.

After answering the call, she glanced at Wang Chenning and moved to the side to talk privately.

About five or six minutes later, she finished the call and came back.

Wang Chenning noticed that Zheng Qiuhang’s expression was clearly different from before. She looked flustered, a far cry from the calm confidence she’d had just moments ago.

"What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing..." Zheng Qiuhang mumbled, shaking her head.

"If you need my help with anything, just say it." Wang Chenning frowned. "Don’t hide things!"

"Can I... borrow some money?" Zheng Qiuhang asked in a small voice, her face flushing. "It’s an emergency. I’ll pay you back soon, with interest. Or, maybe you could give me a six-month advance on my salary?"

"How much do you need?"

"I need to borrow 1.5 million!" Zheng Qiuhang lowered her head even further, her gaze shifting away, not daring to look at Wang Chenning.

"What happened?" Wang Chenning’s voice grew slightly stern. "What do you need so much money for?"

"Brother Ning, can I tell you later?" Zheng Qiuhang looked at Wang Chenning pitifully. "Please, just lend me the money first. It’s urgent."

Wang Chenning studied Zheng Qiuhang for a few moments, then without another word, he transferred 1.5 million directly to her account.

Seeing the transaction confirmation on her phone, Zheng Qiuhang’s eyes reddened. She said "thank you" several times in a row.

"Brother Ning, I promise I’ll explain everything clearly when I get back. Thank you!"

Watching Zheng Qiuhang trot away, Luo Yuqing asked Wang Chenning with a puzzled look, "What’s wrong with her?"

"Probably some family trouble she doesn’t want anyone to know about." Wang Chenning smiled at Luo Yuqing. "That girl... she’s still too green, and too proud. Auntie, you have some tea here. I’m going to follow her and see what’s up."

"Go on," Luo Yuqing said, tactfully refraining from asking more questions. She had someone bring the keys to an Audi A6 to Wang Chenning. "Take this car."

After running out of the clubhouse, Zheng Qiuhang hailed a taxi.

Seeing Zheng Qiuhang get into the taxi, Wang Chenning started the car and followed it.

Once in the taxi, Zheng Qiuhang quickly sent a text message: "I’ll be there in half an hour. I have the money. Don’t make things difficult for my dad!"

After sending the message, Zheng Qiuhang closed her eyes and massaged her temples for a moment.

’My heart is pounding. When I was asking Wang Chenning for money just now, I wanted to tell him the details several times. But I was afraid he’d look down on me, and I especially didn’t want him to see that disgusting old man, so I ended up hiding the truth. The thought of going there alone truly terrifies me.’

After some thought, she took out her phone. She composed a new message containing the location she had just received and a plea for help, but she didn’t hit send.

If she ran into danger, she would send the message to Wang Chenning immediately.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped beside a six-story building in a deserted factory district.

After paying the fare, she stood by the main gate for a moment, trying to calm herself down.

"Who are you?" As Zheng Qiuhang approached the gate, two young men with buzz cuts who were standing guard stopped her. "This place isn’t open to the public. Don’t trespass!"

"I’m looking for Yang Guomin!" Zheng Qiuhang replied, her face cold. "I just spoke with him on the phone!"

"So you’re Elder Zheng’s daughter!" one of them realized. He looked Zheng Qiuhang up and down with a lecherous gaze, then laughed out loud. "Elder Zheng is so sleazy-looking, who’d have thought his daughter would be so beautiful! Haha! The boss is in for a treat."

"Go on in!" The other man opened the gate and let Zheng Qiuhang pass.

After Zheng Qiuhang entered, the young man with the buzz cut who had been eyeing her lecherously swiped a card to open the elevator door and pressed the button for the fifth floor.

"Go straight up to the fifth floor. Someone will be waiting for you at the elevator entrance."

The elevator doors closed quickly and didn’t open again until they reached the fifth floor.

At the fifth-floor elevator entrance, a bald man was waiting.

The moment he saw Zheng Qiuhang, his eyes widened.

"I’m looking for Yang Guomin!" Zheng Qiuhang said coldly to the bald man, her arms crossed over her chest. "Take me to him."

"Follow me!" The bald man chuckled and led the way, saying as he walked, "To think Elder Zheng has such a beautiful daughter, he’s a lucky man. Heh heh, I bet our boss will change his mind. He won’t want the money anymore; he’ll want the girl!"

Hearing this, Zheng Qiuhang’s expression changed again. She took her phone out of her bag and clutched it in her hand...
