After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 131: I Don’t Mind, Massacre!

The atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating, making it difficult to breathe.

However, compared to the panic and anxiety of the other girls, Li Ruoshui was extremely calm. She looked around and guessed they were probably in a hotel.

"Boohoo, what should we do?"

Cries erupted from all directions. No one had expected to be treated this way. They had been forcibly abducted in broad daylight and taken to a place that never saw the light of day. Every passing second was a tremendous torment.

"Let’s take it one step at a time. Crying won’t do any good," Li Ruoshui consoled them.

Within the crowd, she noticed a young girl curiously looking around. "What’s your name?" she asked.

"Lin Jia, Big Sister," the girl replied.

Li Ruoshui nodded. "My name is Li Ruoshui."

"Big Sister, you’re really beautiful," Lin Jia praised. Even in the pitch-dark surroundings, Li Ruoshui’s beauty was outstanding and unforgettable.

Li Ruoshui was puzzled. "You don’t seem nervous?"

"No," Lin Jia nodded. "I know someone very powerful. He... he definitely won’t just stand by and do nothing."

What a coincidence. Li Ruoshui happened to have a close friend just like that, too.

「A hotel owned by the Hong Family.」

At that moment, the banquet was in full swing, filled with the clinking of glasses and cordial conversation. A lean, middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties was surrounded by a crowd of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. His sharp eyes looked as if they had witnessed countless storms.

"Third Uncle, a toast to you," Hong Danggui greeted cheerfully.

This man was the most outstanding descendant of the Hong Family, Hong Tianzhao. He was rumored to be a valiant figure in the Capital City, the kind of man who could make the entire city tremble with a single stomp.

Not long ago, the Hong Family had apparently run into some trouble that nearly cost them all their prestige. Since it involved the family’s honor, very few locals in Hangcheng City knew the details. Even those who did wouldn’t dare spread rumors, fearing the Hong Family’s wrath. Criticizing such a powerful family on matters of honor could easily lead to a fatal end. After weighing the pros and cons, Old Master Hong had Hong Tianzhao return.

For his return, Hong Tianzhao brought two of his closest friends, who served as his right-hand men. They were standing beside him at that very moment. One, named Chen Lie, was dressed in a moon-white long gown. The other, named Xu Tai, wore a black jacket, his arms so long they reached past his knees.

"Danggui, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Chen, and this is your Uncle Xu," Hong Tianzhao said, introducing the two men. "If you ever go to the Capital City, remember to visit them often. With their support and care, you will surely have a place for yourself there in the future."

Hong Danggui was overjoyed. She hurriedly raised her glass of red wine to toast the two men.

"Uncles, I recently found a few young ladies for you. They’re all innocent newcomers, and each one is a top-tier beauty. I hope you’ll like them."

Hong Danggui knew better than anyone what men in this world loved most, especially powerful figures like them.

"Oh?" Chen Lie’s eyes lit up first with a meaningful smile.

Xu Tai, who appeared outwardly serious, remained expressionless. However, Hong Danggui caught the fleeting look of anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

She felt secretly delighted. She had been worried that these two elders wouldn’t like women, but now it seemed that all men were lecherous. The idea that a man could resist temptation was nothing but a lie!

"Speaking of which, is that young man who caused trouble for your Hong Family still in Hangcheng City?" Xu Tai asked Hong Danggui, remembering the matter. "We shouldn’t get everything ready only to find out the kid has already run off."

"Rest assured, Uncle Xu," Hong Danggui replied. "He can’t escape. On Hong Family territory, he couldn’t get away even if he sprouted wings."

The Hong Family had placed informants at all of Hangcheng City’s entrances and exits, and they had not seen Shen Fanyun attempt to flee. In other words, the guy was still in the city. As long as he was here, everything was fine.

Every time Hong Danggui remembered the humiliation Shen Fanyun had inflicted on her, she seethed with a burning rage. In her entire life, she had never been slapped by anyone. Shen Fanyun was the first. Hong Danggui vowed that he would also be the last.

"There are plenty of ignorant little brats these days who don’t know their place. Now that we’re here, don’t worry, we’ll definitely settle this score for the Hong Family," one of the uncles declared. "An ant like that? I could crush him with one hand!"

Hong Danggui felt greatly relieved. Her uncle, Hong Tianzhao, was personally overseeing things, and his two powerful friends had also promised to act. No matter how formidable Shen Fanyun was, he couldn’t possibly make any waves now.

"My two uncles, the beauties I’ve arranged for tonight are top-notch. Tonight..."

BOOM!

A man in a manager’s uniform suddenly flew in through the main door. His body was like a kite with a broken string, and he landed with a sickening thud, his body shuddering on the floor.

This scene startled everyone present.

"What’s going on?" Hong Danggui, furious at the embarrassment, bellowed. She was hosting important guests and had aimed for perfection. She had just managed to please the two uncles from the Capital City, and now this?

Hong Danggui spun around and immediately froze.

It was a familiar face—so familiar that she would recognize it even if it were reduced to ashes.

Shen Fanyun!

This man, whom she abhorred to the bone, had actually come to the Hong Family’s banquet. Was this a suicide mission? Or did he think his time was short and he’d come to apologize? However, judging by his unflinching composure, as if a mountain could collapse before him without his expression changing, he was most likely here to cause trouble!

"My two friends have gone missing. I heard they were here with the Hong Family, so I came to have a look," Shen Fanyun said, his hands clasped behind his back. He stood at the entrance like a veritable door god.

"Who is this?" Chen Lie frowned, asking Hong Tianzhao.

Hong Tianzhao was utterly confused and looked to Hong Danggui.

"This is the person who caused trouble at our Hong Family that day!" she explained in a low voice. "I kindly invited him, but not only did he spurn my offer, he also made a scene and even brazenly threatened Grandfather!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Hong Tianzhao’s face darkened. He stepped forward, staring menacingly at Shen Fanyun. "You dare to show your face here? You cur, you’ve got some nerve! This is good, though. It saves me the trouble of looking for you!"

Shen Fanyun raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "The Hong Family is hardly some imperial palace. It’s just a decaying little clan. Why wouldn’t I dare to come?"

The crowd was speechless.

Hong Tianzhao was speechless.

What an arrogant young man!

Shen Fanyun then added, "I’ll give you five minutes."

"If you don’t bring out the people I want within five minutes, I don’t mind... starting a massacre!"

A massacre? This guy was openly threatening to start a massacre on Hong Family turf, right in front of Hong Tianzhao, Hong Danggui, and all the other family members? Arrogant! Contemptuous! Egotistical and ignorant!

Shen Fanyun still stood with his hands behind his back, his figure ethereal, like a celestial being.
