"Stop hitting him, Cui Yuanmin!"


    Jiang Ying could see that Cui Yuanmin was losing control, so she quickly shouted,


    "Another blow and you could kill him!"


    "Hmph, you got lucky today. Consider this a lesson,"


    Cui Yuanmin spat out vehemently.


    He then stood up and said to Jiang Ying in a gentle voice,


    "Let''s go."


    "Okay."


    Jiang Ying nodded and continued walking forward with Cui Yuanmin. After a while, Jiang Ying sincerely said,


    "Thank you for just now; I was really scared to death."


    "Why are you being so formal with me? It''s what I should do,"


    Cui Yuanmin said, trying to look suave, thinking his actions might have impressed her.


    "Jiang Ying, what are you going to do?"


    "Go to the room to send an email."


    "Email? To whom?"


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying unconsciously revealed a knowing smile but did not answer.


    Cui Yuanmin was secretly surprised; Jiang Ying had never shown such a tender smile before. Who was she emailing?


    But seeing that Jiang Ying had no intention of telling, he did not press further.


    After they arrived at the room, Jiang Ying went inside without inviting Cui Yuanmin to join her, so he waited outside the door.


    A few minutester, Jiang Ying came out smiling. Cui Yuanmin knew that smile wasn''t meant for him.


    "I want to soak in the hot spring again. Are youing?"


    Jiang Ying asked casually.


    "I''ll go with you,"


    Cui Yuanmin replied. Even though he knew Jiang Ying was going to meet Su Chen, he couldn''t help but want to join them.


    Not wanting to irritate Jiang Ying, he decided not to mention theirpatibility again, but his mind was already plotting how to separate them and make Jiang Ying fall for him.


    He just hadn''t figured out how yet...


    Soon, the two headed back to the hot springs located behind the hotel...


    .....


    The man in the leather jacket who had been severely beaten struggled to his feet. Although Cui Yuanmin''s punches hadn''t caused any internal injuries, it hurt like hell!


    After getting up, the man in the leather jacket started to move forward. Just a few steps in, he nced and noticed those two were back at the hot spring.


    "You just wait, I''ll make you suffer!"


    The bar inside the hotel, while only part of the establishment, was very high-ss, and most of the women there were of exceptional beauty!


    The man in the leather jacket walked into the bar and approached the door of a VIP room, forcefully pushing it open. Inside, a portly middle-aged man sat on a leather sofa drinking alcohol, with two young girls in his arms looking quite alluring.


    But most eye-catching was the row of bodyguards behind him, standing upright with solemn expressions!


    As the door to the VIP room was pushed open, the portly middle-aged man immediately looked up, and his face fell in shock:


    "Son, what have you done to yourself, why is your face all bruised?"


    "Dad, I was beaten up!"


    The man in the leather jacket rushed to the older man''s side, crying out loud.


    "Who the hell is asking for trouble, daring to touch Bai Shan''s son!"


    The portly middle-aged man stood up abruptly, roaring with an immense authority emanating from him!


    The man in the leather jacket quickly recounted the events to his father, then said,


    "They should be at the hot spring pool now."


    "You guys go and bring those two here for me!"


    "Yes!"


    Four of the bodyguards immediately stepped forward and walked out the door...


    .....


    Cui Yuanmin and Jiang Ying arrived at the hot spring pool, and naturally, Jiang Ying still smiled as she slipped into the water next to Su Chen, while Cui Yuanmin chose the adjacent pool so that he could hear what they were discussing.


    It has to be said, a beauty is a beauty, and even Jiang Ying''s manner of getting into the water nearly made Su Chen drool, especially when those long, fair legs slowly submerged.


    Jiang Ying certainly noticed Su Chen''s gaze but didn''t mind at all, instead slowing down her movements somewhat, and making her posture even more graceful!


    Once in the water, the two of them started chatting casually. Having met a few times previously, they had unconsciously grown more familiar with each other.


    Su Chen also sensed that Jiang Ying was deliberately getting close to him, perhaps with some n in mind, but he didn''t take it to heart.


    Just then, a deep and loud voice rang out not far away:


    "Who is Cui Yuanmin, and Jiang Ying!"


    Both of them were slightly startled upon hearing the shout, not understanding the reason.


    "I am!"


    Cui Yuanmin stood up from the water and addressed the approaching group of men d in ck:


    "What do you want with me?"


    "Come out, our boss wants to see you!"


    One of the men in ck said curtly.


    "Who is your boss? I don''t know your boss."


    Cui Yuanmin said as he emerged from the hot spring.


    "You''ll know soon enough."


    The man in ck said coldly:


    "And Jiang Ying,e out on your own!"


    "That''s me!"


    Jiang Ying responded with a tremble in her voice.


    "Thene on out, don''t make me drag you!"


    "What do you want with us? We don''t seem to know your boss."


    Jiang Ying also got out of the hot spring.


    "Hmph, you beat up our young master and still say you don''t recognize him, soon you''ll get to know him well!"


    The man in ck let out a cold snort:


    "Take them away!"


    Upon hearing this, the two immediately realized that it was because of the young man in the leather jacket from earlier.


    They both shuddered in their hearts. Could it be that the young man in the leather jacket was actually a significant figure?


    Immediately, the young man who had spoken earlier, along with another in ck, took Cui Yuanmin and walked forward.


    And two other men in ck were preparing toe over and drag Jiang Ying away.


    However, just at that moment, Su Chen stood in front of Jiang Ying and said with a smile:


    "Gentlemen, I''ll apany her. We will go by ourselves; no need for you toy hands on us!"


    "Seems like you fancy yourself a hero saving the beauty, well, we''ll let you have your way then."


    One of the men in ck sneered twice, and said:


    "Come with us, and a warning—don''t even think about running away!"


    After that, the two men in ck turned and marched ahead, seemingly unconcerned with any tricks the pair might try.


    Su Chen''s eyes narrowed slightly; he could tell at a nce that these men in ck were no ordinary men—the weakest among them were at the level of special forces operators.


    It seemed the two celebrities had offended someone important, and that was precisely why Su Chen had offered to apany them; even if they weren''t friends, they were at least acquaintances.


    "Director!"


    Seeing Su Chen being taken away, several people from the public rtions department called out anxiously.


    "It''s okay, everyone enjoy the soak for a while; I''ll be back soon."


    Su Chen turned and shed a warm smile at them.


    The men in ck ahead heard this remark and couldn''t help but curl their lips:


    You''ll certainlye back, the question is whether you''ll return standing or lying down!


    Everyone in Jiangbei knew just how ruthless their own master was!


    If they were to me, it was only their bad luck for offending the Bai Family!
