The bayonet vibrated, emitting a buzzing sound.
Tang Donglai didn't hesitate. He grabbed a nearby towel, stuffed it in his mouth, placed the index and middle fingers of his left hand on the table, gritted his teeth, and ruthlessly pressed down on the bayonet.
His fingers broke, blood splattered.
Tang Donglai said nothing. He spat out the towel, his body drenched in sweat. His subordinates knelt beside him to stop the bleeding.
"Get lost!" Tang Donglai's lips were pale. He forced down a red pill, then weakly asked, "Sir, is this acceptable?"
Qin Yexuan flicked his wrist, blood droplets rolling off the bayonet.
He nodded. "Remember these two broken fingers today. Next time, it won't be your fingers that are broken."
With that, he turned and got out of the car.
Tang Donglai waited until Qin Yexuan's figure disappeared before collapsing inside the car, writhing in pain.
His subordinates hastily called a private doctor. Twice the usual amount of painkillers were administered on-site, and only then did Tang Donglai gasp and regain consciousness.
After his fingers were bandaged and the medicine took effect, this Master Tang actually showed a look of relief in his eyes. "Damn, dodged a bullet. That fiend's temper has improved. If it were before, he wouldn't have said a word, and all of us in dozens of cars, everyone would have died!"
Everyone shivered.
"Master Tang, he's just one person. We can all go at him together. If necessary, we can use weapons! Can he really fight a hundred on his own?"
Tang Donglai glared. "Idiot, it's not like we haven't tried a group attack. Last time, we even gathered over three thousand people and lured him into the desert. Do you know the result?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Tang Donglai swallowed. "All I know is that time, the desert wolves were all lying on the ground, unable to move. There were bones everywhere, and body parts scattered all around. And that fiend was leisurely drinking in his tent, even keeping a few desert wolves as pets! It was truly..."
Everyone's bodies tensed upon hearing this.
Tang Donglai's expression turned grim. "We need to keep a low profile in Jiangcheng. Let's focus on business first, and all other operations are canceled."
He then looked at his trusted subordinate. "Read out my schedule."
The subordinate quickly opened his tablet. "Today, Sir, you have no important appointments. There's a last-minute banquet invitation, the engagement banquet of the Southern Prince's son."
"Southern Prince? Isn't that the top power in Jiangcheng? We have to give him face. I can't go, you go on my behalf and deliver a gift!"
Tang Donglai said this and was lifted onto a stretcher to be carried away.
His trusted subordinate, Tang Long, prepared a gift called "Gold and Jade Abundance" and hurried to the Southern Prince's villa in the city that afternoon.
At this time, the villa was already decorated with lanterns and streamers, with guests coming and going, and a constant stream of cars.
Tang Long was a bit absent-minded, still thinking about what had happened not long ago. Qin Yexuan's appearance, and the legendary stories Master Tang had told, had shaken him too much, and he hadn't recovered yet.
Were there such terrifying people in the world?
As he was thinking, a familiar figure appeared and quickly disappeared into the crowd of guests.
Tang Long shivered. "Am I hallucinating? Did I just see that fiend demon king?"
Tang Long was not mistaken. Qin Yexuan had also rushed over. He hadn't expected the engagement banquet to be held so early.
At this moment, he was holding a glass of lemon water, frowning at the large banner under the red festive character opposite him.
"Please look forward to the appearance of Heavenly Queen Shen Bingmei..."
It was normal for celebrities to attend events, especially when invited by a powerful figure like the Southern Prince. But did Shen Bingmei really need to attend such an event?
A RV drove into the back gate of the villa estate. It was Shen Bingmei's dedicated makeup trailer.
Qin Yexuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly approached the RV, avoiding all the cameras along the way.
Inside, a heated argument could be heard.
"Shen Bingmei, remember your status. Don't think you're some big star. In the company's eyes, you're just an actress! What, you just signed with Tianshan Entertainment, and you're already throwing tantrums?"
Shen Bingmei tried to explain, "We agreed that I would choose all my activities and announcements myself. This is my right. If not, I'll terminate the contract. What do you mean by asking me to sing at a wedding? I don't like it."
*Slap!* The sound of a slap echoed.
The new agent roared arrogantly, "Do you believe I can have someone strip you right here and take pictures to release? Do you still want to be a pure jade celebrity?"
Shen Bingmei started crying.
Qin Yexuan stepped forward coldly and knocked on the door.
An impatient voice came from inside. "Not ready yet, get lost! Don't disturb us!"
*Click!*
Qin Yexuan suddenly applied force, pulled open the door, and stepped inside!
