Chapter 79: They Only Did It for My Sake

Anyone who can spend a million to buy a membership card is not someone they can offend. Li Qingwan began to regret her decision; had she known things would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have come to the Starshine Club.

"Move," the men said, dragging Li Qingwan and her friends toward the other side. They had brought two business vans, and once the girls were pushed inside, there would be no escape—no help from heaven or earth.

"Help!" Xiao Juan and the others cried out in fear. They were just college students, never having encountered such a terrifying situation before.

"Stop!" came a righteous voice from outside—it was He Haoxuan.

"Ah, Brother Xuan is here! That’s great!" Xiao Juan and the others shouted with excitement.

But Li Qingwan, seeing He Haoxuan approach, hurriedly asked, "He Haoxuan, did you call my sister?"

Li Qingwan seemed to feel a hint of disappointment. Even if her sister wasn’t remarkable, she knew some wealthy people who might be able to help them. As for He Haoxuan, the useless coward, she had no hope in him.

"No, I didn’t," He Haoxuan replied, puzzled. "Why should I call your sister?"

"Brother Xuan, call the police quickly!" Xiao Juan pleaded again.

A thought struck Li Qingwan, and she joined in, shouting, "Yes, He Haoxuan, you idiot, call the police right now!"

"Call the police?" the man sneered. "Do you know who I am? My family’s loaded—no one dares to mess with me."

He Haoxuan said nothing, slowly walking forward.

Li Qingwan, seeing He Haoxuan’s foolishness—refusing to call the police—was so angry she nearly fainted. The coward truly lived up to his name; he probably didn’t dare call, hoping instead to beg these men for mercy. "He Haoxuan, don’t beg them—just call the police!"

The man heard Li Qingwan’s words and gave He Haoxuan a sly smile. "Want to plead? Fine, kneel and beg me."

He Haoxuan still said nothing, stepping right up to the man, ready to act.

At that moment, hurried footsteps sounded from behind, and a group of security guards rushed over.

Leading them was Brother Yue. They had just heard from a server that Mr. He was about to leave and came to see him off.

But to their surprise, upon arrival, they saw the girls Mr. He had brought being harassed.

This was bad—really bad.

The man, seeing Brother Yue and his people approach, called out excitedly, "Brother Yue, sorry to trouble you over such a small matter. We can handle it, you guys can go back."

"What—what’s going on here?" Brother Yue tried to keep his rage in check.

"We just stepped out and these girls attacked me, especially the prettiest one—she kicked me below the belt. I’m in agony, maybe ruined, so she has to take responsibility," the man said, leering at Li Qingwan.

Take responsibility, my foot! Brother Yue cursed inwardly. The prettiest girl—wasn’t she somehow related to Mr. He? He was on duty tonight, and allowed Mr. He’s woman to be bullied—he was in deep trouble.

Li Qingwan shouted, "You’re lying! You harassed us, and when we scolded you, you tried to grab me, so I kicked you. It was self-defense. Security, I recognized you when I came in. Aren’t you going to stand up for justice and help us?"

With that, Li Qingwan deliberately threw Brother Yue a coquettish glance.

She couldn’t believe, with her beauty, the security guards wouldn’t suddenly grow a conscience and rush to her aid.

The man shrugged off her appeal. "Let me tell you, I’m a Silver Card member of Starshine Club—membership costs five million a year. What kind of card do you have?"

"We—we don’t have a membership card," Xiao Juan replied timidly.

"Hahaha, so how can you possibly compete with me?" The man was even more pleased. Clearly, these people weren’t truly wealthy, just here for someone else’s event.

Especially these pretty girls—probably invited to accompany some rich men at dinner. Such women were not worth fearing; with enough money, any problem could be solved.

"Sir, shall we take action?" Brother Yue saw He Haoxuan remain silent, sensing his anger. He knew he had to act proactively if he wanted to survive.

The man standing to the side didn’t realize Brother Yue was speaking to He Haoxuan; he thought it was directed at him, and laughed, "Brother Yue, you’re a real friend—helping out even with little things like this. Fine, teach them a lesson, and then let me take the girls away."

"Take your sister!" Brother Yue could no longer hold back—he lunged forward, delivering a flying kick to the man.

With a loud smack, the man was knocked to the ground.

He clutched his face and cried, "Brother Yue, why did you hit me? You made a mistake!"

"I hit you on purpose," Brother Yue replied, swinging his fists and pummeling the man mercilessly.

The other men were puzzled, but the rest of the security guards joined in.

Xiao Juan and the others watched in astonishment as the security guards beat the men until they wailed like ghosts. "Qingwan, what’s happening? Why are the guards helping us?"

"Xiao Juan, didn’t you see me talking to the leader—Brother Yue? I’m so beautiful, of course he’d grow a conscience and side with us," Li Qingwan took all the credit.

She had no idea that, if not for He Haoxuan, Brother Yue would never have helped her.

Money isn’t everything, but life is impossible without it.

A few minutes later, the men lay on the ground, barely conscious. They still couldn’t understand why Brother Yue and his guards attacked them.

They had chatted with him before; these girls didn’t seem to know Brother Yue.

Brother Yue turned to He Haoxuan, his face pleading, "Mr. He, any more and they’ll be killed."

"They said earlier they wanted to drag the girls into their cars, right? Are those cars so valuable?" He Haoxuan asked.

"I understand," Brother Yue got the message—not only were they to beat the men, but also smash their cars.

So Brother Yue and his men pulled out their batons and charged toward the business vans.

The poor vehicles were quickly battered beyond recognition.

Once it was over, He Haoxuan called to Li Qingwan and her friends, "Let’s go."

When the BMW X7 finally rolled onto the road outside, Xiao Juan and the others could finally breathe easy. "Oh, Brother Xuan, you really saved us—when you appeared, the guards came to help."

Li Qingwan disagreed, "Xiao Juan, didn’t I tell you? Brother Yue acted because of me, not He Haoxuan."

He Haoxuan merely smiled and said nothing. Whose influence it was didn’t matter, as long as they were safe. "Remember, don’t come to places like this alone again—or you’ll be in real trouble."
