"Damn it, who the hell are you? Let go of my hand, let go!"
Masu glared at Chu Lingtian, yelling furiously.
But Chu Lingtian didn't let go, his gaze sharp and direct on Masu.
"Brother Chu..."
Guo Xiaoyan called out, her expression extremely panicked.
Seeing this, Qin Li quickly said to Chu Lingtian, "Chu Lingtian, what are you doing? Hurry up and let go, if you hurt Goddess Ma, none of us can bear that responsibility!"
"I'm counting to three now. If you still dare to not let go of my hand, then even if you beg on your knees later, you won't escape a bloody end!"
Masu glanced at the security guard uniform Chu Lingtian was wearing, feeling disdain. Her demeanor became even more arrogant and overbearing.
Chu Lingtian continued to look at Masu with cold eyes, still silent.
Masu did not expect that a mere security guard would dare to ignore her wrath. She immediately began to grit her teeth and count.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!..."
When Masu finished counting furiously, she found that Chu Lingtian was still holding her hand, which she had intended to strike Guo Xiaoyan with. His expression remained calm.
"Good! Good! Good! You damn well are seeking death, then I'll grant it to you!"
Masu trembled with anger. She was a high-and-mighty celebrity, and had been a madam in the entertainment industry for years, with extensive connections. Coupled with her recent entanglement with a wealthy young master from a prominent Beijing family, she had become even richer, more powerful, and influential. She didn't even take powerful people seriously, let alone an ordinary security guard like Chu Lingtian.
"Guards, break this dog's arms and legs, and then throw him on the ground to kowtow and apologize!"
*Crackling sounds!*
At Masu's command, four burly bodyguards in black suits rushed out from the side. They swung their fists and kicks, fiercely attacking Chu Lingtian.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
With four dull thuds, Chu Lingtian simply kicked out four times. Masu's four burly bodyguards all fell to the ground, groaning in pain, unable to get up again.
Masu, Qin Li, and Guo Xiaoyan were all stunned into silence by this scene. They hadn't expected Chu Lingtian to be so skilled, nor had they expected him to attack someone so carelessly in broad daylight.
"You, who exactly are you?"
Masu looked at Chu Lingtian with a hint of fear in her eyes, no longer as domineering and arrogant as before.
Qin Li quickly interjected, "Goddess Ma, his name is Chu Lingtian. He's a security guard at our Baoxue Company. This time, I, he, and Guo Xiaoyan are here to pick you up on Manager Liu's orders."
"Pick me up? Is this how you pick me up? Is this how your Baoxue Company does business? A mere company security guard dares to treat a distinguished guest like this. No wonder no celebrity has been willing to cooperate with your company before. It seems I've made a mistake coming here this time!"
Masu questioned Qin Li with fierce eyes.
"No, Goddess Ma, this is all a misunderstanding..."
Qin Li's mind raced, thinking that if Masu was angered by today's airport reception, the matter of signing a female celebrity for endorsement would fall through again. She knew she couldn't bear the consequences. She immediately became flustered.
After all, she was the leader and overall responsible person for the three of them picking up Masu. If anything went wrong, she would be held accountable by Liu Bingxue and other company executives, and could not escape blame.
"A misunderstanding? This security guard from your Baoxue Company treated me like this and even injured my four bodyguards. The facts are right in front of us, undeniable. Is this a misunderstanding?"
Masu sneered.
Qin Li looked at Chu Lingtian, gritted her white teeth, and said angrily, "Chu Lingtian, are you crazy? Aren't you going to let go quickly!"
"I already said it. She slapped Xiaoyan's face with her palm. If she can't give me a reasonable explanation, then she must receive as many slaps as she gave Xiaoyan."
Chu Lingtian's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
"Heh," Masu burst into laughter, her expression extremely arrogant. "Slap me? What do you think you are? For people like you, from the lower strata of society, you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes. I can guarantee that if you dare to slap me, you will be torn to pieces!"
"Brother Chu, forget it, forget it. I'm fine."
Guo Xiaoyan was very scared. She feared Masu's influence and was also worried that if it was because of her, the endorsement cooperation between the company and Masu failed. Upon returning to the company, she would surely be severely punished, or even fired.
Chu Lingtian understood Guo Xiaoyan's worries and fears, but he liked this pure young girl and would absolutely not allow her to be bullied. He asked, "Xiaoyan, what exactly happened?"
"I, I was holding the noodles I had packed for you and was waiting for you, then Goddess Masu walked out of the channel..."
Guo Xiaoyan's words were interrupted by Qin Li.
Qin Li glared at Chu Lingtian with angry beautiful eyes. She really didn't understand what was going on with this man. Why did he have no regard for the bigger picture? Didn't he know who Masu was, and what the current situation was? Didn't he think about how serious the consequences of his actions would be?
"Guo Xiaoyan was afraid of soiling the bag of noodles she was carrying for you, so she instinctively held the bag to welcome Goddess Ma. Unexpectedly, some noodle soup spilled out and stained Goddess Ma's expensive dress."
After explaining the situation, Qin Li frantically signaled Chu Lingtian with her eyes to let go of Masu quickly and apologize. Perhaps there was still a chance for things to turn around, otherwise, none of them could afford the severe consequences.
"It was just such a small matter, and you publicly slapped my friend. Are you, a flamboyant and arrogant shrew like you, fit to be a star? Fit to have fans? Fit to be liked by people?"
Chu Lingtian's eyes fixed coldly on Masu, questioning her.
"Hmph, do you know how expensive this dress is? People like you from the lower strata of society can't afford it even with two years of your combined salary. A bunch of poor wretches with no money, no power, and no influence, yet you dare to challenge me? It's utterly ridiculous and you have no self-awareness!"
Masu snorted coldly, taunting him.
Chu Lingtian frowned, his gaze chilling, and replied, "The dress can be compensated to you, but you must also compensate for slapping Xiaoyan."
"Compensate? Heh, fine. Let her dare to slap me if she has the guts. Does she dare?"
Masu's face wore an arrogant sneer, and she looked at Guo Xiaoyan with contempt.
"Forget it, forget it, Goddess Ma. It's all my fault, it's all my mistake. I apologize to you."
Guo Xiaoyan did not have such courage and could only endure the grievance. Tears welled up in her clean and beautiful face as she bowed and apologized to Masu.
"I know you wouldn't dare. If you dare to slap me, and my boyfriend, Young Master Jiang Huan, finds out, neither you nor your family will live..."
*Slap!*
Suddenly,
Before Masu could finish threatening Guo Xiaoyan, a heavy slap landed on her left cheek.
