Hearing the anxious words of the people around him, Tang Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"But Mr. Ling said on the phone that no one is allowed to disturb him today while he celebrates Miss Xiao Ran's birthday!"
Guo Zhigang and the others immediately fell silent.
Lu Youhai's eyes darted around for a few moments before he turned to Tang Zhao and said, "Oh, Mr. Ling said no phone calls! Children love liveliness. If we bring gifts that Miss Xiao Ran likes and make the birthday banquet lively and make Miss Xiao Ran happy, will Mr. Ling still blame us?"
"No!"
Tang Zhao blurted out the two words subconsciously.
"That's right. As long as we serve her attentively and make Miss Xiao Ran happy, not only will there be no punishment, but Mr. Ling might even reward us handsomely!"
"Good! Let's go, prepare immediately!"
Tang Zhao's eyes sparkled with brilliance. Indeed, this matter was the most urgent task at hand.
In fact, just as Tang Zhao and the others were preparing to act, many people in various parts of Hanjiang were already stirring.
It was Ling Feng's niece's birthday. This was a major event, a monumental event in Hanjiang!
Princess Castle!
As Ling Feng walked to the door of the private room, he heard Ling Xiaoran sobbing. His brows furrowed instantly, and he pushed the door open.
"What happened?"
Ling Feng asked sternly, then took Ling Xiaoran from Tang Ru's arms.
"Wuwu... Uncle, Xiaoran misses Mommy and Daddy."
Ling Xiaoran wrapped her arms around Ling Feng's neck, saying with a wronged expression, tears streaming down her face.
If there was anything that could break Ling Feng's heart, it would probably be Ling Xiaoran's crying.
While comforting Ling Xiaoran, Ling Feng looked at Lin Siqi.
Lin Siqi quickly covered her face with her hands and apologized to Ling Feng, explaining, "I'm sorry, Ling Feng, it's all my fault for not looking after her properly..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ling Feng stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and moved it away, revealing a bright red slap mark on her face.
Ling Feng's anger surged instantly. Lin Siqi was startled and repeatedly explained, "I'm fine."
"Who did this?"
Knowing Lin Siqi's delicate nature, Ling Feng turned and questioned Tang Ru.
Tang Ru was also intimidated by Ling Feng's demeanor and stammered, "That... I don't know!"
"Ling Feng, Sister Tang Ru really doesn't know." Lin Siqi quickly recounted the previous events to Ling Feng in detail.
"The wife of the director of the Quality Inspection Bureau?"
After listening, murderous intent surged in Ling Feng's eyes. The words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Just then, the door of the private room behind them was suddenly pushed open.
Immediately, a woman's scolding voice came in, "Hey, you two little bitches, you even found a pretty boy to back you up? I'm telling you, let alone a pretty boy, even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't be able to protect you."
Ling Feng heard the commotion behind him and suddenly turned to look at the person who had arrived.
He saw a woman weighing over two hundred pounds pushing her way in, her face full of arrogance, her nostrils practically pointing to the sky, looking down disdainfully at everyone in the room.
If this wasn't Guo Ju, who else could it be?
Beside Guo Ju, a little fatty also made faces at Ling Feng.
"You still dare to come? Don't push people too far!"
Seeing Guo Ju appear again, Tang Ru couldn't help but scold her angrily.
Before Tang Ru's voice even fell, a group of people appeared behind Guo Ju, all in designer suits, with arrogance written on their faces, as if afraid others wouldn't know they were rich.
"Pushing people too far? Hmph, I heard you little girl are a police officer? Which precinct are you from? I'd like to see if you're qualified to be bullied by Madam Guo!"
A man with a bulging belly was the first to reprimand Tang Ru coldly, his face full of disdain.
Tang Ru's face instantly turned red.
"Who are you? What does this have to do with you?"
"Heh, easy to say, my name is Zhang Ningchuan! The Eight Heavens Hotel opposite is mine!"
Upon hearing the other party's identity, Tang Ru's expression sank.
The Eight Heavens chain hotel was quite well-known in Hanjiang. Zhang Ningchuan had actually been invited by Guo Ju to back her up. It seemed Guo Ju really had some skills.
"Tsk, looking at you, you're just a rookie who just joined the system. I heard you even dared to lay hands on Madam Guo? You're simply lawless!"
People emerged from around Zhang Ningchuan.
"I'm the manager of Wanhua Security Group. Little girl, which branch are you from? I'm sure I know your director!"
"Heh heh, Madam Guo, these small fries aren't worth your anger. Don't worry, we'll definitely teach them a lesson today!"
"That's right, you two little bitches won't be able to escape today, and neither will you, pretty boy!"
Guo Ju's plump face was filled with triumph. This was her way. The people behind her all wanted to curry favor with her husband.
Moreover, each of them was a well-known figure in Hanjiang.
They were either company bosses or high-level managers of some groups!
When these people gathered, the energy they formed was very powerful. They didn't even put a small beat cop in their eyes!
Tang Ru's face turned red with anger at their arrogance, her whole body trembling.
Unable to tolerate any wrongdoing, she saw these people bullying others with their influence and became extremely furious.
Guo Ju looked at Tang Ru's trembling body, thinking she was scared, and sneered, "Heh heh, you savage bitch, now you're scared? Weren't you quite wild when you pushed me down earlier?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Ningchuan couldn't wait and stepped forward with his belly protruding, pointing at Ling Feng and the others, and coldly rebuked with a ferocious expression:
"You ignorant fools, you dare to hit Director Wang's wife!"
"Let me tell you, if you want to walk out of here alive today, all of you kneel down and apologize! If you can get Madam Guo's forgiveness, it means your ancestors' graves have smoked green!"
Several people behind Zhang Ningchuan also started shouting.
Some even threatened to bring hundreds of people at any time to make Ling Feng and the others wish they were dead!
"Wuwu... Uncle, Xiaoran is scared..."
Ling Xiaoran cried out in fear. She felt extremely wronged. Clearly, she and Lin Siqi were the ones being bullied, so why should they apologize?
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoran. With Uncle here, no one can bully you."
Ling Feng comforted her gently, his anger enough to incinerate these scum into ashes.
These people, of all the things they shouldn't have done, the worst was insulting his deceased brother and sister-in-law!
