Chapter 140 Beaten up after Taking Liberty with Women (2/2)
The man surnamed Du had a pair of beady eyes, making look like a cunning and deceitful man.
There was a ruthless look on his face, which, at this moment, was filled with an extremely repulsive evil grin.
He was not especially big, which might be a result of overexerting himself. As a matter of fact, he looked even more wretched.
Lin Mengya did not even lift her gaze to look at Mr. Du, having totally disregarded him.
”Say what you want to say quickly, lest I lose my patience.”
Lin Mengya did not want to trouble. Today was meant to be a shopping trip with her maidservants. She was not even interested in teaching this ruffian a lesson.
”Haha, what a hot lady! Today, I shall have a taste of your hotness!”
He reached out in an attempt to touch Lin Mengya's face.
With a smirk and a turn of her hand, Lin Mengya grabbed the indecent man's hand, plucked the hairpin from her hair and stuck it into his hand.
”Ouch! You stinky woman!”
The sharp pain shot up from his hand. He was completely unprepared for Lin Mengya's brutal attack.
Without showing any mercy, the jade hairpin had completely pierced through his hand and pinned it onto the tabletop.
”Didn't anyone inform you that it may cost your life if you take liberties with me?”
Although Lin Mengya spoke with a smile on her face, her words set him off perspiring in cold sweat.
”How did she know I had actually been incited by someone else to do this?”
”What do you... you mean?”
By now, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat from the pain coming from his hand that had been pinned on the table.
He gritted his teeth to combat the intensive pain while his followers were getting restless.
”The rest of you better behave yourself, otherwise your master's dog paw would be paired.”
Lin Mengya spoke coldly. She supposed that these men were used to acting like a tyrant. Nevertheless, they were apparently frightened by this uncanny lady.
Now it seemed to them a bad idea to go up against her.
”You... you've misunderstood, my eyes must have been blinded by lard for me to take liberties with you, Madam.”
He seemed to have decided not to reveal the mastermind behind this. However, Lin Mengya was not ready to let go of the matter.
Baisu, being sharp-witted and alert, would have sensed his furtive eyes.
Lin Mengya had exchanged looks with Baisu earlier on but she had an ignorant look in her eyes.
Perhaps someone had found out her whereabouts and sent these ruffians to take advantage of her.
”Get lost. Go back and tell whoever sent you that if anyone dares provoke me, he would die a tragic death. Don't let me see you again, otherwise, by then, your life would not be spared.”
Lin Mengya withdrew her hairpin in one quick motion as the man let out another cry of agony, while the rest of the men gazed at Lin Mengya with fear in their eyes.
Gritting their teeth, they were resigned to their misfortune.
”Let's go!”
Despite knowing that they might provoke the anger of their master, they knew this woman was too formidable for them to trifle with.
”Wait! You've broken the things in my restaurant, beaten up my waiter. Worst still, you've provoked the lady in my house to anger. Do you think you can simply walk off?”
At the sound of a clear, light voice with a cold tone, Lin Mengya's eyes lit up.
She opened her eyes wide with disbelief as she dashed out of the room to see the young man she was so familiar with.
”Why are you here, Qinghu?”
The man was none other than Qinghu, whom she had sent away to gather information for her. Although she had not seen him for some time, as usual, he was wearing that sly smile on his face.
”Naughty girl, why did you go places without telling me? I had a hard time looking for you.”
Qinghu was clad in a white coat, which made him look flirtatious.
What remained the same was the doting look in his eyes.
”Sly fox, who asked you to be gone so for so long? There was no one to come to my aid when I was being bullied.”
Somehow, Qinghu was the only one in the world who would stand by her without demanding any explanation from her.
As a result, Lin Mengya had instinctively treated him as someone from her parent's family.
Disregarding the eyes of the people looking on, Qinghu strode up to Lin Mengya and scrutinized her from top to bottom.
”Eh? You seemed to have lost weight, lass? Did Long Tianhao starve you? Come, serve the best dishes from the restaurant right now. The other customers can wait.”
This was how tyrannical Qinghu could be. He would pick Lin Mengya over god anytime.
”Alright, boss, just a moment, please.”
The waiter who was playing dead, lying on the floor, sprung up immediately and ran into the kitchen.
”This—”
As Lin Mengya pointed at the waiter who ran downstairs, Qinghu was all smiles, as he pushed her back into the room.
”Don't worry, that guy has nine lives. He won't die.”
The five ladies exchanged puzzled looks as they wondered what had happened.
”When did you come back? Why didn't you return to the prince's mansion? How's the progress on your investigation on the Yues?”
Lin Mengya blurted out a series of questions while seated on the heated brick bed.
However, Qinghu had pulled a long face as he looked at Lin Mengya with plaintive eyes.
”What a heartless girl! I've only just returned and still covered with dust from the journey, barely taken a breath, and there you are with a series of question for me?”
Qinghu tapped his fingers gracefully on the spot between Lin Mengya's brows as he complained.
