Love Lock

Chapter 56 The Evil Deeds Exposed to Everyone

Han Lei frowned. She knew these frivolous words were directed at her. She turned her head and saw a cunning-looking young man with a frivolous smile on his lips blocking her way at the corner.

This man was none other than Wei Chengchao, the son of Prime Minister Wei.

Wei Chengchao usually abused his family's power and influence, acting tyrannically and committing all sorts of evil deeds.

He had come downstairs to use the restroom, but unexpectedly bumped into a stunning beauty like Han Lei. His eyes lit up instantly, and wicked thoughts grew wildly in his mind.

"Step aside!"

Han Lei gave him a cold look.

"Oh, my little beauty, where are you headed? This dress suits you so well, I love it. How about coming upstairs and having a cup of tea with me?"

As Wei Chengchao spoke, he approached Han Lei step by step, his eyes gleaming with greed and desire.

Han Lei's delicate brows furrowed even more. She was wearing the clothes Zhao Zun had just bought for her, a pale yellow that made her already beautiful face even more radiant.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she put on this dress, she attracted a pervert.

She's seen plenty of these reckless scoundrels in modern times.

Han Lei showed no fear on her face, but coldly warned, "Young master, please have some self-respect. I do not know you and have no intention of talking to you."

Seeing this, Wei Chengchao's smile deepened, as if he found Han Lei's refusal even more amusing, and he reached out to touch Han Lei's face.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen such a beautiful little lady before. Let me touch your face, it's so tender it's practically dripping with moisture."

However, before he could even touch Han Lei's cheek, Han Lei nimbly dodged him.

"I'm warning you again, get out of the way!" Han Lei stood ramrod straight, her voice even colder.

Han Lei's tone was icy, but what was fatal was that her voice was light and soft. This warning not only lacked deterrent power, but instead made people feel that she was fierce in a cute way, which was extremely adorable.

They were standing in the passageway between the kitchen and the main hall when a waiter brought out dishes. They clearly saw Wei Chengchao harassing a woman, but how could they dare to offend the son of the Prime Minister Wei?

The waiter lowered his head and darted past along the wall, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

"Oh! You're warning me, aren't you? Hehe..." Wei Chengchao didn't take her cute but fierce warning seriously at all. Instead, he found it even more amusing and wanted to get closer to her. "Come on, let me see what you're using to warn me."

As he spoke, his wicked hand reached towards Han Lei's chest again.

Han Lei was furious; she could no longer tolerate this rude provocation.

She snorted, lifted her long skirt, turned around, and delivered a beautiful side kick, striking Wei Chengchao hard in the stomach.

"what……"

Suddenly, a pig-like scream rang out, and Wei Chengchao flew out in an arc, crashing into a table before landing awkwardly on the ground.

The guests at the table whose table was hit screamed and stood up, backing away.

Seeing this, the surrounding diners all stopped eating and stared in astonishment at the scene. The pampered Wei Chengchao clutched his stomach, too pained to utter a word, only staring at Han Lei with his small, squinting eyes in disbelief.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Pingchuan and Xiao Zhengfei, who were guarding the door of the private room on the second floor, went to the railing and peered down—

Oh my god!

The two men happened to see Han Lei walk out of the corridor and stomp hard on a man's face. Although it seemed that Miss Han hadn't suffered any harm, the two men exchanged a glance and quickly went to the private room to report to the prince.

Downstairs, the manager of Tengyunlou, who had also heard the commotion, rushed over. Seeing that Young Master Wei had been beaten, he hurriedly stepped forward with a pained expression to stop him.

"Hey! Stop it! How dare you be so arrogant, young lady? He is Young Master Wei!"

If Prime Minister Wei's son is beaten at Tengyun Tower, will Tengyun Tower still be able to do business?
Although Tengyun Tower is backed by one of the four great families, the Wei family is the head of the four great families! In addition, with the special status of Prime Minister Wei, how could the other families dare to offend them?

Every time Young Master Wei comes to Tengyun Tower, he keeps a record of his spending. The ledgers are overflowing, yet the owner has never sent them to collect the debts from the Wei family! Doesn't that speak volumes?

Wei Chengchao lay on the ground, and initially, not many people could see his face. But the innkeeper's commotion made it clear to the surrounding diners that it was Young Master Wei who had been beaten, and everyone started pointing and whispering. "Good heavens, who is this girl? How dare she hit Young Master Wei?"

"This girl is quite beautiful. I've never seen her before. She probably isn't from the capital, is she?"

"They're definitely not from the capital, otherwise how would they dare to hit Young Master Wei?"

"I think he deserves to be beaten. Who told him to keep harassing respectable women?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down."

"Serves them right! They've done all sorts of evil deeds, they'll get their comeuppance sooner or later."

"Hehe, isn't this karma coming back to bite you?"

"Oh dear! Let's mind our own business and eat."

The diners chatted amongst themselves, all with the mindset of watching a spectacle.

The shopkeeper was almost in tears. He stepped forward, blocking Han Lei with one hand and forcefully helping Wei Chengchao up with the other.

Wei Chengchao stood up despite the pain and flung the shopkeeper's hand away.

"You...you dare to lay a hand on me?"

Enraged by his previous inexperience, Wei Chengchao brushed his disheveled hair from his forehead, lowered his head, and charged at Han Lei, intending to ram his greasy head into her.

But would Han Lei give him that chance?
She dodged Wei Chengchao's attack with a swift movement, and was about to kick him from behind when a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

"Bang!"

"what!"

Wei Chengchao screamed in pain as his body was violently thrown backward by the force of the impact.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, and when he looked up, he realized that he had bumped into a muscular man.

"Who are you? Get out of here. This is none of your business!" Wei Chengchao was furious.

He got up, ready to lash out at the man, but suddenly saw two more men leap down from the second floor, standing on either side of the man in front of him.

These two men were none other than Zhao Zun's two personal guards, Pingchuan and Xiao Zhengfei. As soon as they landed, they drew their swords from their waists with a whoosh, the tips pointing directly at Wei Chengchao.

Seeing that the man in front of him had helpers, Wei Chengchao, who had been arrogant just moments before, instantly became dejected. He clutched his aching head, opened his mouth and cried out loudly, and began to call for reinforcements.

"Help! Help! Where have you all gone? I've been beaten up!"

What the hell happened to him today? Does anyone dare to bully him? He's definitely going to call some people and teach these arrogant bastards a lesson.

Unfortunately, he had only intended to go downstairs to use the restroom, so he did not bring any servants with him. The servants were still waiting for him in the private room on the third floor.

One of the important reasons why Tengyunlou is so successful is that it is particularly considerate of its customers.

Some distinguished customers sit in private rooms not just for drinking and eating, but to discuss important, perhaps unknown, matters.

In order not to disturb the distinguished guests' conversations during their meals, Tengyun Tower was designed with double-layered partitions in all its private rooms during its initial construction, achieving the best sound insulation possible for that era.

So, despite the commotion downstairs, the VIPs in the private rooms upstairs were completely unaffected. Even if Wei Chengchao shouted himself hoarse, his cronies upstairs couldn't hear him.

Zhao Zun ignored his wailing and turned to look at Han Lei.

"Girl, are you okay?"

Han Lei looked up and saw Zhao Zun. She pointed at Wei Chengchao, who was loudly calling for help, and sweetly exposed his evil deeds to everyone.

"It was him, he was the one who flirted with me."

Vote, throw it at me!
