Chapter 77: Chapter 77

A lot of people around were watching, but no one dared to step forward to help, only because of the words, "Even the younger members of the Shao Family should call him Uncle."

Su Lingzhi was pressed down into a chair, her shoulders and wrists instantly turning red, with no room to break free.

The imbalance of power, plus her inability to see, engulfed her with a tidal wave of unease.

She looked fearfully at the dark shadow before her, and spoke with restraint, "Will you let us go if I drink with you?"

"As long as you can keep me entertained, you’ll get whatever you want."

The mockery was intense, and Su Lingzhi felt nauseated. Updates are released by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Zhuang Xiaoxi struggled desperately and said to her, "Zhizhi, don’t believe him, they’re not good people at all."

As soon as the words came out, she was slapped heavily, making her dizzy, with one half of her face burning with pain so severe it numbed her, and blood slowly dripped from the corner of her mouth.

The loud slapping sound lingered around her ears, and the anger within Su Lingzhi surged like breaking a dam, she clenched the teacup on the table but then calmly retreated her hand.

The entire hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

No one expected these people to target two girls so powerless against them.

"That’s much better now."

Zhuang Xiaoxi glared spitefully at the speaker, gritting her teeth without giving in.

"Let my friend go, I’ll agree to whatever you want," Su Lingzhi’s cold voice instantly drew everyone’s gaze.

The man with the stubbly beard stepped onto the soft stool with one leg, sat down next to her, and gritted his molars, "To let her go back for help?"

"Didn’t you just say that even if the police came, they couldn’t do anything to you? What helper could my friend find?"

The voice sounded calm, with a delicate face showing pallor, devoid of any emotion.

The man with the stubbly beard chuckled, "Can’t believe you’re a blind woman, and still quite sensible."

"You’ve got your sights on me, let her leave, don’t ruin my mood."

Zhuang Xiaoxi couldn’t believe these words came from Su Lingzhi’s mouth; she knew Zhizhi was buying time for her to find Fu Yinli, but still... she was worried.

"Zhizhi..." Zhuang Xiaoxi mumbled softly, and her eyes instantly reddened.

The man got instantly pleased by her coaxing, he looked towards his companions, and signaled them with his eyes, "Let her go."

There was someone backing him up from behind, and his companions, upon receiving the order, released their grip, relaxed and completely unafraid.

Once Zhuang Xiaoxi got free, she quickly snatched back her phone and dashed out of the building.

Meanwhile, Xiao Li had just come down from upstairs and saw the scene of several people surrounding Su Lingzhi.

His footsteps paused on the stairs for a few seconds, hesitated for a moment, and quickly rushed into Fu Yinli’s private room.

In the gaze of many business people, he walked to Fu Yinli’s side, leaned close to his ear, and informed him of the situation downstairs.

Fu Yinli’s face instantly darkened, his eyes elusive, he uttered a brief "excuse me," and then stood up and left the room.

His steps were as swift as wind, carrying a sharp aura, as if the air parted to give him way.

Downstairs, Su Lingzhi received a drink but hesitated to act.

The stubbly-bearded man urged, "Drink, or should I feed it to you?"

The cup contained high-proof liquor; if she drank it, she would definitely encounter trouble tonight.

In her hesitance, she gripped the cup tightly, held her breath, steadied herself, and took a sip.

However, barely halfway through, a force suddenly snatched the cup away.

Su Lingzhi was momentarily stunned, side-eyeing the dark figure standing beside her, and although she couldn’t see clearly, she just knew it was Fu Yinli.

Instantly, her nose tingled with emotion, and tears uncontrollably streamed from her eyes.

The stubbly-bearded man angrily stood, shouting at him, "Who the hell are you to ruin my good time?"

Fu Yinli indifferently instructed Xiao Li behind him, "Clear the area."

In less than two minutes, Xiao Li, in cooperation with the inn manager, had cleared all the customers off that floor, controlled the people upstairs from coming down, and even shut the inn’s front door, his imposing manner instantly instilling fear in the group.

Fu Yinli slowly placed the cup down, raised his hand, touched her tears, a burning sensation coursing through him, his throat dried up, leaving him unable to speak.

"Master, could this blind woman really be Fu Yinli’s?"

Rumor had it that Fu Yinli had lived abroad for a long time; even though news had spread about him returning to take over the Fu Group, he hadn’t appeared in the media. It was extremely difficult for people in their ordinary positions to witness this Capital’s big VIP in person.

If this blind woman was truly part of Fu Yinli’s circle, then standing before them could only be Fu Yinli himself.

Despite everything, the stubbly-bearded man refused to believe and swung a punch aiming at Fu Yinli’s face.

The mere catfight was effortlessly caught by Fu Yinli.

Without time to react, his abdomen received a kick, the stubbly-bearded man groaned in pain and collapsed on the ground.

Instantly, the stubbly-bearded man grew somewhat fearful, "Do you know who I am, even the Shao Family has to address me as Uncle?"

Fu Yinli coldly glared at him, suddenly stepped over, and before he could steady himself, raised his left hand, slapping him forcefully in the face.

As he staggered, a wine bottle was raised and smashed towards him.

The sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the hall, and the stubbly-bearded man instantly fainted, leaving fresh blood flowing from his forehead.

Everyone stood in shock, incredulous at the savage scene before them.

The shattered bottle neck was casually tossed onto the person, and as he turned back his gaze, the remaining individuals were too scared to move, their bodies even softened.

Now with nowhere to escape, they could only kneel in pleading.

From his appearance until now, no word was said, only action taken. Although it was unclear what status he held, they already understood he was not someone they could provoke.

Blood dripped from Fu Yinli’s long fingers onto the ground, he turned his eyes towards the seated Su Lingzhi.

The commotion was just enough to frighten her.

Currently, her face was void of any color, looking fearfully at him.

For a moment, he felt as if her eyes had regained sight.

Amidst the begging voices, Fu Yinli walked towards her, embraced her freezing-cold body, softly comforted, "It’s all right now, don’t be afraid."

Su Lingzhi’s throat was tightly blocked, and she held onto his waist firmly.

Just then, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Shao Ming and Zhuang Xiaoxi appeared at the entrance.

Fu Yinli retracted his gaze, carried Su Lingzhi horizontally, and while passing Shao Ming, indifferently said, "You handle the remaining matter."
