Calling Bai Zheng was a decision Yang Jian made after careful consideration.
If any other woman had been beaten, Yang Jian wouldn't have reported it to Bai Zheng. As head of security, failing to handle such a minor issue would have made him seem incompetent.
But Meng Meiyun was different. Yang Jian knew she was Bai Zheng's mistress, and the child she was carrying was likely Bai Zheng's. This made the matter significant.
Furthermore, Meng Meiyun was also Bai Zheng's goddaughter. It was only right to inform him of such a serious incident.
In less than ten minutes, Bai Zheng arrived with four bodyguards.
"Xiao Yang, what happened? Who did this? How is Meiyun now?"
Bai Zheng's expression was grim, but not overly enraged.
"Brother Zheng, I apologize. The incident happened so suddenly, I wasn't able to protect Meiyun properly."
Yang Jian didn't know the full cause of the incident, so he recounted what he had witnessed.
Bai Zheng pointed at the two girls and asked, "You two, tell me, how did the conflict start?"
One of the girls stepped forward. "Meiyun-jie was asked by a guest to bring the four of us to Room 8 to provide service. That boss, surnamed Xiang, didn't like the four of us and demanded that Meiyun-jie serve him.
Meiyun-jie refused, saying she would go and get others. Boss Xiang immediately became enraged, stood up, and slapped Meiyun-jie twice.
To avoid escalating the situation, Meiyun-jie chose to endure it and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Boss Xiang grabbed Meiyun-jie by her hair and dragged her into the room.
Meiyun-jie struggled desperately. Boss Xiang, in a fit of rage, not only verbally abused her but also beat her again, slapping her several times. Finally, he kicked her in the stomach.
Meiyun-jie fell to the ground, and Boss Xiang was about to continue his assault when security arrived and intervened. A fight broke out, and eventually, this boss arrived and subdued all of Boss Xiang's men, then sent Meiyun-jie to the hospital."
The girl clearly didn't know Yang Jian's identity. There were too many staff members at the entertainment city, and she had never seen Yang Jian before.
Bai Zheng suppressed his anger. "Xiao Yang, you go back first and stabilize the situation. The venue cannot be in chaos. Try to block the news as much as possible."
"Understood, Brother Zheng. How should Boss Xiang and his men be handled?"
"You go back and interrogate them first to find out who they are. Meiyun is my goddaughter. Hitting her is like hitting me in the face. Even the King of Heaven will have to give an explanation."
"Alright, I'll head back now."
Yang Jian knew he shouldn't stay there any longer and turned to leave the hospital.
Back at the casino, Ah Nan had already apprehended Boss Xiang and his four bodyguards in the security department's lounge. Ah Feng was also there.
"Ah Nan, how are Chunlin and Luopeng?"
As soon as Yang Jian entered the duty room, he first inquired about his brothers.
"Luopeng is fine, just took one kick. Chunlin's left arm is broken. I've already arranged for someone to take him to the hospital."
"Did this incident affect any other rooms?"
Ah Feng replied, "No, the incident happened very quickly. As soon as I received the news, I took immediate measures, informing all staff not to spread the word, and I appeased the other gamblers in Hall 8. It won't affect anyone else."
"Have you interrogated the troublemaking gambler?"
"No, that kid might have some background. His attitude is very arrogant, saying that if he isn't given an explanation today, this entertainment city won't be able to operate."
"Is that so? Let's go meet him."
Yang Jian said as he walked into the lounge. The four bodyguards were all handcuffed, and two of them had broken bones, slumped on the sofa groaning.
Boss Xiang was very young, estimated to be around twenty or twenty-one. He was about 1.78 meters tall, with a well-proportioned build and a rather handsome appearance. He looked like a wealthy young master.
"You are Boss Xiang?"
Yang Jian casually pulled a chair over and sat in front of Boss Xiang.
Boss Xiang crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, sizing up Yang Jian. "You just beat up my men. The consequences are very serious. Call your boss over to talk to me."
"You are not qualified to meet my boss. I am the one interrogating you now. You'd better cooperate, or you'll have a very difficult time."
"Is that so? I'd like to see how you make things difficult for me?"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Jian slapped him across the face. Thinking of how he had beaten Meng Meiyun, this slap was filled with all his anger. Someone who could hit a woman so hard deserved to be taught a lesson.
A large red mark immediately appeared on Boss Xiang's right cheek, and he was bleeding from his mouth. His eyes looked at his assailant in disbelief.
The bodyguard next to him, who had been hit with a stun baton, roared, "You son of a bitch, you're looking for death! Do you know who our Young Master Xiang is? How dare you hit him! Your whole family will die."
"Noisy."
Luopeng, who was guarding them, couldn't hold back any longer. He unleashed a barrage of punches on the bodyguard. He had taken a kick, and his anger was boiling. If Ah Nan hadn't stopped him, he would have acted sooner.
"You dare to hit me? You're dead. No one can save you."
Young Master Xiang touched his face and glared fiercely at Yang Jian. He didn't dare to fight back because he had seen the other person take down two bodyguards in seconds.
"Slap."
Another slap landed on his left cheek, this one even harder. A molar flew out.
"You can be stubborn, but I'll keep hitting you until you speak properly."
Yang Jian had already guessed that this kid's background might be very powerful. He was used to being arrogant and bullying others. Now, he was going to let him taste what it was like to be bullied.
"My father is Xiang Fei. If you have the guts, give me your phone. With one call, your boss will be kneeling before me."
Even though he was beaten and speaking incoherently, Young Master Xiang was still arrogant.
Yang Jian looked bewildered. "Who is Xiang Fei? I've never heard that name before. Is he very powerful? Do you guys know this person?"
Ah Feng and Ah Nan both shook their heads.
"I know. Xiang Fei is one of the top figures in Hong Kong. Young Master Xiang should be his eldest son, Xiang Nan, right?"
Ah Bao suddenly walked in. He was on night duty and was resting when Bai Zheng called him.
"Yes, I am Xiang Nan. Hurry up and send me and my bodyguards to the hospital, then have your boss come to apologize and discuss how to handle this matter. These people must be handed over to me to deal with, otherwise, nothing will be discussed."
Finally, someone recognized his identity, and Xiang Nan straightened his back.
Yang Jian grabbed his hair and pulled him forward, forcing Xiang Nan to kneel before him.
"Apologize to you? Do you know that I'm in charge here? Believe it or not, I can throw you into the East River to feed the fish right now?
"Is Xiang Fei very powerful? Come on, call him and tell him to leave last words for his family."
At these words, not only did the bodyguards panic, but Xiang Nan's body also began to tremble. He saw a murderous intent in Yang Jian's eyes. This person was too terrifying.
Ah Bao was also shocked. He felt that Yang Jian wasn't just threatening the other party; he might actually kill Xiang Nan. This was because he knew Yang Jian was a wanted fugitive across the country. Killing one more person wouldn't make much difference to him; at most, he would continue to be on the run or go abroad.
