Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: A Man Harass Her Subordinate

The server was just about to politely inquire what variety of fine tea they would care to sample today when her eyes suddenly locked onto Bai Xifeng’s face, recognising her instantly.

"Young Lady Bai! You have arrived!" The staff member’s face immediately lit up with bright, overflowing happiness upon seeing her employer in person.

"Where is Tian Ning?" Bai Xifeng asked directly, skipping the pleasantries.

She had come here today partly to inspect the teahouse’s daily operations and verify whether everything had been running smoothly since the official management handover. She wanted to ensure there were no operational hiccups, supply issues, or difficulties facing the staff while running the establishment.

However, before the server could even utter a response, Bai Xifeng’s sharp eyes caught a subtle, troubled flicker in her expression. Something was definitely wrong.

Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes slightly. Having spent two lives reading people, she was far too experienced not to recognise the subtle signs of someone hiding distress or holding back bad news.

"Where is Tian Ning?" Bai Xifeng repeated her question, her tone dropping a notch into an icy, dangerous register.

"Lady Tian... she is currently entertaining an unexpected guest in the private wing." The server replied hesitantly, biting her lip.

"Which room? Take me there now." Bai Xifeng ordered, wasting zero time.

The server nodded nervously and immediately turned to guide Bai Xifeng and her companions down the quiet hallway toward the private reception room where Tian Ning was meeting her visitor.

As they drew closer to the sliding wooden doors, the sharp sound of raised, heated voices leaked out into the corridor. The tone of the conversation inside was anything but pleasant. In fact, the further they walked, the more glaringly obvious it became that someone was deliberately leaning on Tian Ning and making harsh demands. Before anyone could even reach for the door handle, a man’s harsh, arrogant roar boomed out from within the room.

"You had better know what’s good for you and listen to me! Hand over the secret supplier who provides you with this Spiritual Qi Tea immediately! Otherwise, I will file a formal grievance and report you straight to the Slaves Department!"

"In your dreams! No!" Tian Ning’s firm, unyielding refusal rang out instantly after.

"You stubborn bitch! Don’t think for a second that just because you are a woman, I will refrain from laying my hands on you!"

"This teahouse operates directly under the authority of Great General Bai’s Household! Daring to touch a single hair on my head is no different from declaring war on Great General Bai’s entire family!" Tian Ning retorted fiercely, refusing to yield an inch despite the man’s aggressive threats.

"Ha! You think you can scare me with a name?!" The man barked back with shameless arrogance. "Great General Bai is not even in the Capital! He is stationed in Xianjing City, a whole thousand li away from here! Even if he eventually finds out about this, what could a distant general possibly do to me?!"

"You... how dare you?!" Tian Ning’s voice trembled with pure fury.

"Of course I dare!" The man sneered disgustingly. "In fact, I dare to bend you over and fuck you right here on this floor! No one is coming to save you, so you’d better stop playing hard to get and do as you are told!"

Bai Xifeng had heard more than enough. She had originally intended to quietly gauge the exact nature of the conflict before deciding on the most efficient way to handle it. However, after hearing this filthy scumbag spew such vile, disgusting threats at her manager, she lost every last shred of patience.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she reeled back her leg and delivered a devastating, heavy kick directly to the centre of the wooden door.

BANG!

The heavy wooden door burst off its hinges with a thunderous crash, flying inward like a battering ram and slamming straight into the man’s body, catching him completely off guard!

"OUCH! What the hell?! Who’s the fucking brain-dead idiot that did that?!" The man howled in pain as he stumbled backwards, crashing into a table.

He hurriedly shoved the broken door off his chest, frantically rubbing his bruised ribs and stomach. His face twisted into a red, murderous scowl as he whipped his head around, desperate to see who had dared to interrupt him so violently.

However, the second his eyes landed on the doorway, his furious expression froze mid-glare.

Standing right in the centre of the shattered entryway was a striking, breathtakingly gorgeous young maiden.

For a brief second, the man completely forgot about the sharp pain throbbing in his torso and the fact that a heavy door had just been slammed into his face. His eyes widened to the size of saucers as he stared blankly at Bai Xifeng, his scowl morphing into a sleazy, lecherous grin.

He was instantly mesmerised by her dazzling appearance. In his filthy eyes, Bai Xifeng was an unexpected, top-tier beauty who had practically delivered herself right to his doorstep.

"Well, well... hello there, beautiful..." The lecherous man purred, flashing an utterly repulsive smile. "What a delightful coincidence! Did you come to this teahouse to enjoy a nice cup of tea? Why don’t you come sit on my lap and share a pot with me instead? It’s all on my tab, sweetheart, so you don’t have to worry about spending a single copper."

He even puffed out his chest and adjusted his robes, attempting to present himself as a charming nobleman, having completely forgotten the embarrassing fact that he had just been knocked flat by a flying door a second ago.

Bai Xifeng stood in the doorway, her cold eyes scanning him slowly from head to toe.
