"Master Li, I apologize. I really didn't expect Tang Xiaochen to have such an attitude!" Ao Long said apologetically after leaving the sanatorium.
If he had known Tang Xiaochen would act this way, he would never have brought Li Se here. It would have been better to maintain their previous relationship. Now, not only had he offended Tang Xiaochen, but his relationship with Li Se might also become distant.
"This has nothing to do with you," Li Se shook his head. He didn't blame Ao Long; it was Tang Xiaochen's own issue.
Ao Long said, "Master Li, if Tang Xiaochen causes any trouble, just tell me. Although Tang Xiaochen is a diamond tycoon, I'm not to be trifled with!"
Ao Tian quickly chimed in, "That's right, Master Li. Although you can easily resolve it, it's better to leave people like that to us to handle."
Li Se waved his hand, preparing to take his leave. However, his phone rang. Seeing that it was Qiao Weiwei calling, he was a bit puzzled. Why would she call him? They had only parted ways not long ago.
"Weiwei, what's wrong?" Li Se asked after answering.
"Where are you? I'm so angry, hurry over..." Qiao Weiwei's voice sounded very agitated.
It turned out that after Qiao Weiwei parted ways with Li Se, she went shopping with her best friend. They happened to stop at a jewelry store where Qiao Weiwei fell in love with a diamond ring. Coincidentally, another woman also fancied the same ring. Amidst their dispute, Qiao Weiwei's best friend, not one to be bullied, slapped the other woman after she uttered some unpleasant words.
Now, the other woman's man had arrived with a group of people, demanding that Qiao Weiwei and her best friend kneel and apologize.
Upon hearing the entire story, Li Se was somewhat surprised. In reality, such matters could be easily resolved if Qiao Weiwei simply called her father. However, her first thought was of him. Without hesitation, he was about to drive over.
"Master Li, have you encountered some trouble?" Ao Long, although he hadn't heard the entire phone conversation clearly, had heard Li Se mention the word "diamond." He felt he might be able to help.
Undeniably, Li Se's skills were formidable, but in this day and age, matters weren't always resolved by brute force. Therefore, Ao Long thought he might be able to redeem himself.
Li Se pondered for a moment. Since it was at a jewelry store, perhaps Ao Long could indeed be of assistance, especially considering he had ties to diamond mines. Thus, he nodded.
Ao Long's face lit up. As long as he could be of help, Li Se would surely let go of the earlier incident with Tang Xiaochen. Of course, this trip meant he had completely fallen out with Tang Xiaochen, which would have a significant impact, potentially leading to substantial financial losses. However, without Tang Xiaochen, he could still live a carefree life.
Inside a diamond specialty store, Qiao Weiwei and her best friend were surrounded by several people. The leader was a man with a prominent beer belly, his gaze greedily fixed on the two beauties before him.
Even though a very sexy woman was already by his side, it didn't stop him from desiring the two beauties in front of him.
"Two beauties, you hit my Yuan Ting's woman. If you don't kneel and apologize, this matter is far from over!" the beer-bellied man declared arrogantly.
Although this was a diamond specialty store, everyone in the shop knew Yuan Ting's identity and dared not intervene.
"She was the one who wanted to hit someone first, and then my friend fought back," Qiao Weiwei pointed at the sexy woman.
"Don't think you can bully us just because you have more people!" her best friend, Lin Hongyue, retorted indignantly.
"So what if we bully you?" Yuan Ting sneered. "Go and ask, who dares to offend me? Let me tell you, I am the biggest diamond supplier. If you don't give me an explanation today, you won't be able to leave this place. Of course, you can also apologize in another way..."
As he spoke, he grinned lecherously, his eyes scanning Qiao Weiwei and Lin Hongyue's figures with fervent desire. He continued, "Both of you are beautiful. If you are willing to serve me, I can pretend today's incident never happened."
"Honey..." the sexy woman said with displeasure.
However, Yuan Ting paid no heed. This woman was merely his mistress, and there was no need to overly concern himself with her emotions.
"Pfft..." Qiao Weiwei said with disgust, "You're so ugly, yet your thoughts are so beautiful. Even if all the men in the world died, you wouldn't be worthy of touching us!"
"Exactly!" Lin Hongyue nodded. "Don't you even pee and look at yourself, you toad who dreams of eating swan meat? Do you really think a few stinking bucks allow you to do whatever you want? Let me tell you, the fact that we can come here shows we're not short of money. If you don't let us leave soon, we're calling the police!"
"Oh, oh, oh, are all beautiful women so feisty now?" Yuan Ting's smile grew wider. "Let me tell you, with money, you can indeed do whatever you want. Today, this toad is going to eat swan meat. Hurry up, either kneel or accompany me. You choose!"
The men surrounding Qiao Weiwei and Lin Hongyue took a few greedy steps closer, especially towards Qiao Weiwei. Such a beauty was extremely rare.
"I'm giving you two options now: either kneel and apologize to my woman, or I'll break both your legs!"
Suddenly, a voice cut through the air.
When Qiao Weiwei heard this voice, a smile bloomed on her pretty face. She immediately turned around and saw a familiar figure walking in. It was, of course, Li Se.
"Who the hell are you, daring to play the hero?" Yuan Ting was somewhat angered. "Do you know who I am? I am Yuan Ting. To put it bluntly, the entire Qingyun City's diamonds are supplied by me. Do you know what kind of influence that is? Offend me, and you won't see tomorrow's sun!"
A mere brat dares to play the hero, completely unaware of the danger!
Yuan Ting was furious, mainly because anyone who casually showed up dared to ruin his good mood. He felt his pride was challenged.
"Kid, kneel and apologize to Mr. Yuan quickly. What are you? Daring to bark here?" the sexy woman chided.
Yuan Ting coldly snorted and said, "Did you hear that? Kneel and apologize to me, and perhaps I'll let you leave. As for the matters concerning these two beauties, it's best not to interfere. This is not something someone of your status can meddle in!"
"Yuan Ting, you have quite the audacity!"
Another voice echoed.
Yuan Ting felt the voice was somewhat familiar, and when he saw the person who had arrived, he was startled: "Long... Master Long?"
He might be a diamond supplier, but his backer was none other than Ao Long. He hadn't expected to encounter Ao Long here, and it seemed he had an unusual relationship with the person who had just entered.
Oh, damn it, I've hit a snag!
