“Let’s go,” Fu Chen said.

Only then did Duan Linbai follow a police officer out. He reached out and tugged at his clothes. “Where’s the girl who came with us?”

“On the other side. Two of my colleagues are taking her statement.”

“I…” Duan Linbai coughed twice. “Can I go see her?”

“Are you acquaintances?” the police officer asked.

“Not really. We just know each other.”

“Okay, I’ll take you there.”

Actually, the truth of the matter was very clear. Those people had teased the waitress after drinking. Duan Linbai couldn’t stand it and beat them up.

…

They reached a lounge and pushed the door open. Fu Chen stood at the door and saw a person wrapped in a black bomber jacket. This was Duan Linbai’s, and the person sitting inside was actually…

Xu Jiamu.

She looked fine. When she saw Duan Linbai, she immediately stood up and asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Duan Linbai tugged at his hair uneasily.

Seeing that they had something to say, the police officers simply let them stay together.

“I’m sorry I implicated you.” When Xu Jiamu got up, Fu Chen noticed that she was wearing a hotel uniform. Even though it was already late autumn, she was still wearing a short skirt.

“It’s those people who deserve a beating.” Duan Linbai glanced at her and seemed to want to say something. He opened his mouth but turned his head to look elsewhere.

Actually, what happened tonight was very simple…

Duan Linbai brought Jiang Ershao out to socialize. The venue was at the hotel where Xu Jiamu worked. In fact, he was a regular here, but the two of them didn’t meet often. She was just a temporary worker, so it was impossible for her to be in charge of a private room. She just served food.

When they were about to leave, they passed by a private room and heard the sounds of an argument. It seemed like the manager was explaining something to the guests.

“It’s most likely some drunkard.” Jiang Ershao rubbed his nose.

Duan Linbai wasn’t the kind of person who would act bravely for justice no matter what happened. He didn’t intend to poke his nose into other people’s business and left directly.

“She took the initiative to seduce me. She’s wearing so little, and she kept swaying in front of me. Didn’t she just want me to sleep with her?”

“Sir, this is the hotel’s uniform.” The manager was also helpless.

“Didn’t we just tease her a little? We didn’t even f*cking touch her, but she smashed my brother’s head. How are we going to settle this matter?”

“Our hotel will take care of the medical expenses,” the manager said.

“Do you know who I am? Do I lack money? She has to come with us tonight!”

…

There seemed to be another argument inside.

Then, with a bang, a wine bottle shattered.

Immediately afterward, she heard the manager’s exasperated voice. “Xu Jiamu, do you want to quit?!”

Then Duan Linbai stopped.

“Big Brother?” Jiang Ershao was puzzled. “You’re not leaving?”

Duan Linbai gritted his teeth. Those who could come here to spend all had some money. With Xu Jiamu’s bad temper, she would definitely suffer. Losing money and being fired was a small matter. If these people didn’t let her off, she probably wouldn’t be able to survive in the capital.

F*ck, why am I so soft-hearted?!

He made up his mind, turned around, and kicked open the door of the private room.

Inside, alcohol and snacks were scattered all over the floor, making for a chaotic scene. Xu Jiamu was stopped at the door. She was so angry that her body was trembling. When she saw Duan Linbai, she was a little embarrassed.

“Young Master Duan? Why are you here?” The manager was surprised.

Duan Linbai looked at Xu Jiamu’s slightly open collar. He hesitated for a moment before taking off his jacket and throwing it to her. He reached out to roll up his sleeves. “Wear it.”

“Thank you.” Xu Jiamu held the jacket but didn’t move.

Duan Linbai motioned to Jiang Ershao at the side. He had been with Duan Linbai for a while and knew what he wanted to do. He immediately took out his phone.

“F*ck, you bitch, you’re crazy. Who do you think you are? It’s your fortune that I like you. You f*cking threw a bottle of wine at me!” someone shouted.

“Why are you pretending to be innocent in front of me? I’ve seen too many women like you.

“Isn’t ten thousand yuan enough for a night with you?”

…

The man was obviously drunk, so he spoke incoherently and spouted all kinds of nonsense.

“Did you record it?” Duan Linbai turned his head to look at the person beside him.

“It’s all recorded.” Jiang Ershao nodded.

Duan Linbai looked at Xu Jiamu. “Were you bullied?”

Xu Jiamu didn’t say anything. Actually, when people with poor alcohol tolerance drank too much, there were indeed some people who would touch them. But this was the first time she had seen people as domineering and shameless as today.
