Chapter 675: Old Fan says I'm here to deliver a fruit platter

Ten, nine, eight……

The merciless countdown began, numbers gnawed out one after another from Li Hengbo's mouth, striking the service young lady's heart like a heavy hammer.

The icy gold cane still lifted her chin, forcing her to raise that tear‑streaked, clearly fingerprinted face.

Endless shame made her tremble all over, her lips quivering, yet she could utter no sound.

Qian Director sat on pins and needles, breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment. Seeing the young girl's age, about the same as his own daughter, Qian Director couldn't help but feel pity. At that moment he really wanted to speak up and say a few kind words for her. Unfortunately, having forgotten to eat bear's heart and leopard's gall when he went out, he simply couldn't muster the courage.

Seven, six, five……

The countdown continued, the air in the private room icy and bone‑chilling.

The service young lady suddenly mustered courage, tearfully glared at Li Hengbo, then shoved aside the gold cane lifting her chin and turned to leave.

Then she hadn't taken two steps before two bodyguards reached out and stopped her.

One of the bodyguards coldly warned her: "Don't ask for trouble; you're an adult, not a three‑year‑old who can't care for herself—don't make me help you undress."

Four, three, two……

Just as Li Hengbo was about to say 'one', the bodyguard who had just shouted the warning grabbed the service young lady's shoulder, ready to tear her clothes.

Don't touch me!

The service young lady broke down, tears streaming down her face.

When she pushed the bodyguard's hand away, she stumbled back two steps, but her back was blocked by Li Hengbo's cane, leaving her nowhere to go.

From behind came Li Hengbo's icy voice: "If you can't prove your innocence, today I can only let you walk in standing and leave lying down—will you undress or not?"

!!!

The service young lady's tears fell like broken beads; before coming to work at the KTV, she had heard that some customers would take liberties.

She couldn't find work, had no choice but to survive.

She had originally thought she would neither be a 'princess' nor a 'music teacher', just an ordinary service worker, do her job well, and there shouldn't be any problem.

Who would have thought that delivering a fruit platter would get her accused of eavesdropping?

At this moment her truest feeling was— in this damned place, her dignity was cheaper than the orange peel used to garnish the fruit platter's edge.

This is an unreasonable damned place!

The other party is just a devil! An evil devil! They weren't really looking for a listening device on her; they were just looking for an excuse to force her to strip naked……

I'll undress…… I'll undress……

Her hand slowly reached for the rose‑red uniform's shoulder strap; the motion was slow, but shame and tears surged like a tide, impossible to stop.

Those at the bottom have lives as cheap as grass.

The silk shoulder strap slipped from her smooth shoulder, exposing a small patch of fair skin; at that moment her movement instinctively stopped, knowing how embarrassing her desperate, tearful appearance would be.

Keep undressing, don't stop!

Li Hengbo standing behind her issued another stern command.

But Li Hengbo did not leer like a lascivious rogue, which the service young lady hadn't expected. He did want to admire her figure, true, but that was merely a side benefit.

Li Hengbo genuinely suspected she had come to eavesdrop, suspected she was carrying a listening device.

At the very moment the service young lady's emotions completely collapsed, a loud 'bang!' rang out as the heavy alloy door of the private room, carved with intricate patterns, burst inward.

To be precise, it was kicked open by someone.

The force of that kick was anything but ordinary. The bodyguard standing behind the door took the door panel to his back and was sent stumbling forward two steps.

The one who kicked the door was Lao Ba.

However, Lao Ba was only responsible for clearing the way; after doing so he stepped aside, and it was Lin Dongfan who entered next and was the true agent of violence.

Lin Dongfan's appearance instantly made the atmosphere in the private room dead silent to the extreme.

At this moment Li Hengbo also lost the domineering air he'd just had; he gritted his teeth, the fury of seeing an enemy rise on his face.

"Lao Ba, I'm not saying this to blame you, but how can a person be so violent? Watch out next time—if you scare the cripple, I'll dock your pay!"

Lin Dongfan gave Lao Ba a stern look.

He then turned his gaze to Li Hengbo, asking concernedly: "Cripple, weren't you scared just now? I've already sternly criticized Lao Ba; from now on he'll surely love small animals."

!!!

Li Hengbo's eyes were practically blazing.

Showing off? Lin Dongfan can't even do that; swearing? Lin Dongfan can't even do that! Fighting? He's just a rookie who wouldn't last three seconds under Lin Dongfan.

Every time I think of this cruel gap in life, my heart aches faintly.

There's a feeling of grief greater than heart‑death.

Li Hengbo pointed angrily at the door: "This is my private room—who let you in? Get out! I don't welcome your ill‑mannered little animal."

Lin Dongfan acted as if he hadn't heard.

He turned to look at the wronged, humiliated service young lady, then asked Li Hengbo: "What are you doing? Bullying the girl to tears, forcing her into prostitution at night?"

"Bullshit! Who's forcing her into prostitution? Keep your mouth clean!" Li Hengbo angrily protested his innocence.

Lin Dongfan glanced again at the service young lady, frowning involuntarily: "If it's not forcing her into prostitution, why is she crying like this?"

He's forcing me to undress!

Seeing Lin Dongfan intending to speak up for her, the hitherto hopeless and helpless service young lady, as if grasping a lifeline in a dark abyss, immediately reached out and accused Li Hengbo.

Li Hengbo glared furiously: "Little miss, tears can flow freely, but words can't be spoken at random! Am I trying to make you undress? I'm checking whether you have a listening device!"

"Who's eavesdropping on you? I just came in to deliver a fruit platter." The service young lady angrily retorted, meanwhile pulling her shoulder strap back into place.

Lin Dongfan calmly ordered: "Lao Ba, this little miss is utterly rude, actually shouting at the cute, crippled little animal—throw her out for me."

"Please, be self‑aware."

Lao Ba immediately extended a 'please' gesture toward the service young lady.

The service young lady turned and had just taken two steps when Li Hengbo shouted angrily: "Stop!"

Afterwards, Li Hengbo glared angrily at Lin Dongfan again: "What do you mean? Looking for trouble, huh? My private room—when did it become your turn to bark orders here?!"

"Oh, look at my brain..."

Lin Dongfan lightly tapped his forehead twice, putting on an act of belated realization: "I was in a rush leaving today, forgot to get the rabies shot; what if a mad dog bites me? Should I strike first?"

No sooner had he spoken than Li Hengbo shuddered and stepped back two paces.

Trembling, he pointed his crutch at Lin Dongfan: "You motherfucker, don't mess around—I'm warning you! This is a rule-of-law era; if you dare hit me, I won't let it go!"
