With that, Shi Qing smacked Qiu Chenxi hard on the head. “Qiu Chenxi, go ahead and order your people to beat us. I would like to know whether most of the punches will land on you or on us!”
She was going to use Qiu Chenxi as her human shield!
“And all of you here, even though my dad is a retired soldier, he still works in the government. I have remembered most of you here. Unless I die here, those who dare to lay a finger on me can get ready to be sent to jail. If you don’t wish to go to jail, I will give you a chance. Scram right now. I will take it that nothing has happened.”
Shi Qing’s threat was useful. Everyone was hired to help Qiu Chenxi. Once they received the money, they would have to flee. At least, they could not return to Ping Cheng for the time being.
However, they did not know that their target was not ordinary people and was the daughter of a soldier. Even after her father was discharged from the army, he would be a government official in Ping Cheng. They were just hooligans. They could not afford to offend her father.
“What’s there to be scared of? You have the strength in numbers. Besides, she had said that she isn’t able to remember all of you. After getting the money, all of you can leave Ping Cheng for the time being. She will forget your faces in a few days. Even if she goes to the police, how is it possible for them to arrest all of you?” Qiu Chenxi analyzed calmly. “Rescue me, and I will give you another five hundred yuan.”
Qiu Chenxi saw herself as a piece of beautiful jade, while Qiao Nan and Shi Qing were rubble and debris. She would not clash head-on with them. If she did, she would be the one who suffered the most.
“Five hundred yuan?” Hearing that Qiu Chenxi was willing to spend so much money in order to deal with Qiao Nan and her, Shi Qing gave her five slaps on the face. “If not for the Shi family, the Qiu family would not be living in luxury now. You refuse to let your dad’s woman spend the Qiu family’s money, yet you are willing to use the money the Qiu family made with the help of the Shi family to hire people to beat us. You are indeed capable!”
Qiu Chenxi’s expression darkened after being slapped by Shi Qing. She glared viciously at Shi Qing.
Qiao Nan took a deep breath and walked to stand behind Qiu Chenxi. She placed her hand lightly on Qiu Chenxi’s back where the zipper to her dress was. “Qiu Chenxi, are you sure you still want to make more trouble?”
“What are you trying to do!!” Qiu Chenxi widened her eyes in panic. She was no longer as confident as before. She tensed and had goosebumps all over her arms.
“Nothing, I am merely behaving like a hooligan.” Qiao Nan’s voice was as soft as the spring breeze in April, but Qiu Chenxi was scared stiff, her face turning pale. Her body tensed up instantly. She was like a high-strung bow that would break any time. “You are Qiu Chenxi. The Qiu family indeed has money, power, and social status. Poor folks like us cannot be compared to you. There are so many people here. We are seriously outnumbered. I suppose if a fight breaks out, you will be rescued by them in no time. By then, Shi Qing and I will have to suffer. In this life, what I hate most is to be on the losing end. I don’t care whether the other party is an outsider or family, I will do anything to avoid being on the losing end.”
Since she could not escape being beaten to a pulp, she could not take it lying down that Qiu Chenxi was watching happily by the side.
Then, Qiao Nan moved her fingertips slightly and pulled the zipper.
Qiu Chenxi’s hairs stood on end as she listened to the sliding sound of the zipper. “How dare you!!!”
“How dare me?” Qiao Nan smiled and slid the zipper down to the end.
If Qiao Nan let go of the dress and stopped Qiu Chenxi from moving, her bare skin would definitely be exposed.
“Your lingerie looks pretty nice. I know how to unclasp it. Qiu Chenxi, if I unclasp the lingerie and your dress falls even further, do you think you will make it to the headlines of Ping Cheng newspaper tomorrow? What headline should we give it?” Qiao Nan smiled happily.
All of them were women. Qiu Chenxi was not afraid of being beaten as she knew that when a fight broke out, Shi Qing and Qiao Nan would take more blows than her.
“All these people have worked so hard and made so many trips to help you. Merely giving them money is not good enough. You should give them some other perks.”
That said, Qiao Nan slid her fingertips across Qiu Chenxi’s bare back, resting on the clasp of her lingerie.
As long as she tugged at it gently, the clasp would be undone and Qiu Chenxi would be exposed.
“Wait a minute!!” Qiu Chenxi was boiling with anger. The people whom she hired with money widened their eyes and fixed their gazes on Qiu Chenxi, lest they missed any details. “You are shameless!” She had not expected that Qiao Nan, who was so young, would use such underhanded methods to threaten her.
Qiao Nan laughed. “Yes, I am shameless. It’s good enough that you care about preserving your dignity.”
So long as Qiu Chenxi could not withstand the humiliation, then she and Shi Qing would have the chance to leave safely.
Shi Qing eyes brightened. This method was brilliant. Why did she not think of it? Qiu Chenxi was fearless when they tried to use force on her, hence they had to resort to tricks. “Since the beginning, Qiao Nan has said that she is going to behave like a hooligan. Hooligans don’t have a sense of shame.”
“Alright, don’t haggle with me. If you order your people to come at us, I will make sure that you expose yourself completely. Anyway, you’re the one who hired these people. You chose them by yourself, so there’s nothing to be angry about.” Qiao Nan was running out of patience.
“I…” Qiu Chenxi could feel the tingling coldness on her bare back. She gritted her teeth and spoke in anger.
“Get them to stand aside!” Qiao Nan curled her fingers at the clasp of the lingerie and Qiu Chenxi’s pale face turned red immediately.
“Get out of the way!” Qiu Chenxi gritted her molar teeth and spoke through the cracks of her teeth.
These people were hired by Qiu Chenxi and they only listened to her words. At her command, they stepped aside right away. Of course, those who harbored evil intentions stepped further behind to get a good spot so that they could have an unblocked view of Qiu Chenxi.
Qiao Nan sneered. “Qiu Chenxi, we are women after all. If you are not so ruthless to us, I will not resort to this. So let me remind you. The zipper of your dress is undone. It’s up to you if you want to expose yourself and allow these people to feast their eyes on you.”
“Pull it up for me!!!”
“That won’t do. At least, you will have to wait until Shi Qing and I have left the second floor before I can pull them up for you.” With the zipper undone, Qiu Chenxi would not be able to play any tricks on them.
Even if Shi Qing loosened her grip on Qiu Chenxi, she would not dare to run as her clothes would drop right away.
As long as Qiu Chenxi was afraid of being exposed, she and Shi Qing would be able to escape from the restaurant by stirring up confusion.
Qiu Chenxi had no other choice but to give in. She looked at the group of burly men, who widened their eyes, getting ready for the show, and growled. “If you want to get the money, close your eyes right now. If you dare to open your eyes, not only will you not be paid but you will also be…”
