339 Get Off (1/2)
The veteran male singer crashed into another table. The sounds of loud banging and glasses shattering stopped the party and caught everyone's attention. Audible gasps and screams punctuated the suddenly tensed air.
”Y-you! How dare you, Jin Chonglin?!” the fallen veteran singer roared. ”You d-dare—hic—hit me?!!”
”Sir, you are a great singer and I looked up to you before this. But all my respect for you are now gone. You are a disgusting pervert,” Jin Chonglin told him.
The veteran singer struggled to get up from all the broken debris on the floor. ”What did you say?! Jin Chonglin, you have become too full of yourself! Just b-because—hic—you have won so many awards tonight. So you t-think that you're—hic—such a b-big shot now, huh?! You're a hundred years too early to act like that in f-front of me!”
Jin Chonglin ignored the man, turned around, and headed to Iris' group. ”Junior Iris, let's go.”
Iris looked at the four posh ladies.
”Go, Iris. We can take care of ourselves,” Feng Wan assured her.
She nodded and then followed Jin Chonglin.
”Hah! So you two are really—hic—engaged?” The veteran man, who was now standing on shaky feet, cackled at them. His tone was filled with mockery. ”What a p-perfect combination! A gigolo and a sl*t!”
”Anyone who dares to work with that degenerate from now on will become an enemy of the Jins,” a cold voice cut through the air.
Jin Liwei stood a few metres away like the king of hell. His face was a frozen mask of cold fury. He was relieved when he saw his baby girl unharmed. Then he remembered what the degenerate called her (oh, and his brother too) just a few seconds ago. Rage burned inside him.
Watching another man (his brother) defend his woman left a bitter taste in his mouth. If it weren't because he wanted to honour his agreement with his baby girl not to reveal their relationship before she was ready, he would've already beaten up the bastard into a pulp with his own bare fists.
He turned to the person beside him. It was the President of the Harmony Music Awards.
”So this is the kind of people you invite to your events?”
The president shivered. ”CEO Jin, i-it's not like that! We have no idea that he's like this! Security! Where's the security?! Go kick that person out of here!”
”Security?” Jin Liwei's voice turned colder. ”You mean the police, don't you? From what I understand, that disgusting man was harassing the ladies. That's why my brother hit him.”
”I…CEO Jin, involving the police is a little… This is an important event. Can we...I mean, it's not that serious that we have to call the police…”
”Not. That. Serious?” Jin Liwei emphasized each syllable with a cold voice. His expression became even more frightening.
The president stepped back.
”Don't worry. The police are already on their way,” Si Xinyue suddenly interjected.
It took a few seconds before Jin Liwei recognized the lady as the wife of the Police Chief. ”We'll leave everything to you then, Madam.”
”Don't worry. There are many people here who can serve as witnesses. He won't be able to escape from justice.”
He nodded. Then he turned to Jin Chonglin. ”Let's go.”
”Yes, Big Bro. Come with us, Junior Iris. We'll take you home.”
”Thank you, Senior Chonglin,” Iris replied.
”No need! We'll send Iris home!” JJ interrupted in a loud voice.
He and DJ Song finally made their way to them from the other side of the hall. They looked tipsy.
Jin Liwei frowned. ”Mr. JJ, DJ Song. Both of you are intoxicated. Rest assured that we will send Miss Long home safe and sound. There is no need to worry.”
He began walking away. Jin Chonglin and Iris followed him.
