"Well, how, how should I address you?"

Security guard Old Wang was both afraid of and curious about Ye Qiu next to him.

"Ye Qiu!" Ye Qiu said calmly. He found this Old Wang quite interesting.

Old Wang nodded, hesitated, and asked, "Can I ask something?"

"What is it?" Ye Qiu replied.

Old Wang said, "You..."

Ye Qiu waved his hand, "Look..."

While Ye Qiu and Old Wang were talking, a man in a luxurious suit, plain-looking but groomed to look handsome, was speaking to a seductive woman in a white qipao beside him, and without warning, bumped right into Old Wang.

"Oh dear."

Despite Ye Qiu's warning, Old Wang still bumped into the man. He was fine, but the man let out an "Oh dear" and suddenly glared at Old Wang. Seeing Old Wang was merely a security guard in uniform, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he coldly said, "Didn't you see me? Aren't you watching where you're going? Also, who let you in here, a security guard?"

Old Wang felt a bit guilty about bumping into someone, and was about to apologize when he heard this man suddenly start berating him, making his face turn dark and his heart fill with anger.

However, realizing it was indeed his fault for not watching the road and that he should take responsibility, and since the other person was the manager of the hotel, he quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "Sorry, Manager, I wasn't paying attention."

"Not paying attention, huh? You bumped into me, what if it was another guest? What if it was Miss Michelle? And you, a security personnel, who let you just walk in here? Don't you know that tonight's banquet is full of big shots?"

The man was indeed the manager of the hotel, and the Huaxia woman named Michelle beside him was evidently also an esteemed guest. At this moment, he seemed to want to show off his authority in front of the beauty, making a big deal out of something minor.

Old Wang understood all this, and Ye Qiu, standing coldly by the side, also watched this man being aggressive. Although he was the one who let Old Wang bring him in, he maintained a stance to avoid trouble, waiting to see what this man really wanted to do.

However, the less Ye Qiu wanted trouble, the more it seemed to find him.

Having finished scolding Old Wang, the manager saw Old Wang silent and suddenly noticed Ye Qiu standing beside him in his plain clothes, even more handsome than the manager himself. He immediately frowned and said, "Who is this? Who let him in here, what are you security guards doing, just letting anyone pass?"

Hearing the manager starting on Ye Qiu, Old Wang originally thought about making a call to deal with this manager, but at this moment, he changed his mind.

He had witnessed Ye Qiu's impressive skills earlier, but through all the novels he's read, the storyline dictates that someone like Ye Qiu surely has a mighty background, and evidently, this manager is nothing more than a nameless, brainless cannon fodder.

So seasoned novel reader Old Wang couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Watching Old Wang answer the question and then bow his head to steal a laugh, the manager suddenly felt he lost face in front of his lady companion, coldly rebuking Old Wang, "Your security department failed; I'll get back to you later."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Qiu, slightly raising his head, looking at Ye Qiu with contempt, and said, "What are you doing here, who let you in, what are your intentions?"

"People nowadays are so brainless, how can someone so brainless become a manager?"

Observing the contemptuous glance from the manager, Ye Qiu frowned slightly.

And at this point, Old Wang secretly thought to himself, "The brainless villain show is starting, just wait for the slap in the face."

"I'm asking you, didn't you hear?"

Earlier, Old Wang's silence had already annoyed the manager, and now seeing Ye Qiu also not responding to his questions seemed to fill him with displeasure, particularly when he noticed his lady companion's impatient expression, as if he had lost a lot of face.

With cold eyes, he said to Ye Qiu, "If you don't want to lose an arm or leg, or find yourself in trouble, you'd better get out now, or I can't guarantee what might happen later?"

"Lose an arm or leg, are you going to make me lose an arm or leg?" Ye Qiu replied.

The manager said, "Heh, do I have to personally deal with someone like you?"

With that, he shouted to Old Wang, "Call the security team over!"

"Uh, are you sure?" Old Wang said, somewhat amused.

"Stop wasting time, hurry up." The manager demanded.

"Alright then."

Old Wang took out his walkie-talkie and handed it to the manager, "Why don't you do it yourself, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what, useless!" The manager cursed as he grabbed the walkie-talkie and made the call.

But the response was just a flood of insults from the guards who had just been pummeled by Ye Qiu.

"Do any of you want to work anymore, I'm your manager."

"Manager, manager is just bull****, if you want to go, go yourself, we definitely won't!"

"Ah ah, you're the manager, ah, really sorry, we'll be right there."

The manager's face turned sour as he tossed the walkie-talkie back to Old Wang, then coldly glanced at Ye Qiu, "Now it's too late to leave."

Ye Qiu crossed his arms, "When did I say I was leaving."

"Hmph."

The manager snorted coldly, while the seductive woman beside him exclaimed, "Why aren't you going yet, what's taking so long, just get some random person to deal with this insignificant person already!"

The seductive woman had only glanced at Ye Qiu once and hadn't looked at him again, deeming him unworthy of another glance.

To her, Ye Qiu was just a novice, a kid who hadn't matured yet. Once, she might have taken some interest in Ye Qiu's good looks, but now she couldn't be bothered with a boy who had no money, no power, and no background.

Despite the fact that the manager beside her wasn't some aristocrat or wealthy man, he was good at bending to her will and buying whatever she wanted.

Her heart's desire was to get involved with any one of the young masters of the four great families, even dreaming of being their pet. Even with the Zhou Family, or some others, it'd be perfectly fine...

"Don't worry, it'll soon be over. I find this kid annoying, and not dealing with him disquiets me." judged the manager. The woman snorted, saying no more.

The manager looked over at Ye Qiu, still standing arms crossed, smirking, "Kid, are you prepared for the consequence of spending your next life bedridden?"

Ye Qiu remained silent, seemingly sensing something, and tilted his head toward the entrance, where he saw a large group of security guards supporting each other, faces marked with pain, approaching.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu smiled slightly and said to the manager, "The people you called are here, but it seems they don't have the capability to keep me bedridden for the rest of my life now!"
