CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"Stop, don't do anything yet. I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that haven't been resolved. The way you treated me just now made me very unhappy, so I've decided to make you kneel down and apologize to me."

"What? You want me to kneel down and apologize to you? How could that be? How could I kneel down to someone like you?"

Upon hearing that he was to kneel down, Gao Qilin adopted a very tough stance, because he had previously sworn that he would never kneel down in such a way.

However, just as he was thinking this, a scream came from behind him. Upon hearing the sound, Gao Qilin quickly looked behind him and saw that Guo Shaoheng was kneeling on the ground, with countless hands pressing him down from behind, forcing him to kowtow to Zhao Ruilong repeatedly.

Just as Gao Qilin was about to stop this behavior, Zhao Ruilong spoke up:

"If you don't want to kowtow, that's fine too; someone over there has already done it for you."

After saying that, he sat down on a chair to the side, quietly watching everything in front of him, and looked like he was enjoying it.

"How can you live with yourself letting a child act like that in front of you?"

Seeing Zhao Ruilong enjoying all of this with a clear conscience, Gao Qilin couldn't help but curse.

As he said this, he glanced down at the time. Only a dozen minutes had passed, and there was still some time before the patrol team's agreed-upon time.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think to himself:

"What's going on? Why is time passing so slowly? I feel like a lot of time has passed, so why is there still so much time to go? If they don't come soon, something really bad might happen here."

At this moment, Gao Qilin realized that continuing like this was not a solution. In order to buy more time, he stepped forward and, after hesitating for a few seconds, knelt down in front of Zhao Ruilong.

"Alright, I've already knelt down before you, so stop torturing that child. He hasn't done anything wrong, so what's the point of torturing him like this?"

“Great, I like your personality. Wouldn’t it have been better if you had done this sooner? If you had done this sooner, he wouldn’t have suffered like this. You insisted on making him experience the process.”

Seeing Gao Qilin's reaction, Zhao Ruilong appeared quite satisfied, but he didn't forget to mock Gao Qilin.

“You guys hurry up and tie him up. Just keep him kneeling in front of me like this. I quite like seeing him like this.”

To prevent any accidents, after Gao Qilin knelt down, he immediately ordered the people next to him to tie him up, fearing that Gao Qilin might suddenly get up and do something to him.

Seeing that Zhao Ruilong hadn't done anything too outrageous, Gao Qilin felt much more at ease.

To buy himself more time, he deliberately struggled a few times as these people approached him.

At this moment, Zhao Ruilong did not know Gao Qilin's purpose in doing so, and thought he simply wanted to rebel. So, after seeing him do this, he said impatiently:

"Even at this point, you're still thinking about resisting? Haven't you remembered what I just told you? What, do you only feel at ease when that kid loses an arm or a leg?"

"It's not that bad. The reason I acted rashly is because I don't want to be tied down. Don't worry, with Guo Shaoheng as your bargaining chip, I will definitely not do anything reckless. So let's not go through those unnecessary procedures."

"How is this an unnecessary procedure? If we don't tie you up, who knows what you might do in a moment. I still need to prioritize my life."

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong ordered his men to tie Gao Qilin up again.

At this point, Gao Qilin felt that he had bought enough time, so he stopped struggling and cooperated instead.

There's still a little over a minute left before the patrol team's scheduled time of 2.8. He's just hoping nothing bad happens in that minute.

Just as Gao Qilin was thinking this, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

"Who came in? Didn't I tell you to send people to guard the outside? Why is someone still coming in?"

Upon hearing that voice, Zhao Ruilong immediately adopted a serious demeanor and inquired about the current situation.

"We don't know either. Why don't I go out and take a look to see what's going on?"

After saying that, the leader walked outside, but after a long while, there was still no news.

Chapter 647 The Arrival of the Patrol Team

"What's wrong with this guy? I asked him to go out and check the situation, but he just didn't come back. It seems he really is unreliable. Oh well, I'll just go out and check it myself. That way I'll feel more at ease."

Faced with this situation, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but complain. After saying this, he walked straight outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw a group of patrolmen rushing towards him, and those who had just gone out were arrested by them.

"What's going on? How did the patrol team know about this place?"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Zhao Ruilong panicked and rushed into the room to confront Gao Qilin, demanding an explanation:

"Didn't I tell you not to tell the patrol team? What, you're ignoring me? Fine, I'll show you what happens if you don't do as I say!"

After saying that, he picked up a fruit knife from the side and walked towards where Gao Qilin was, intending to get rid of him now.

"stop!"

But just as he was about to do so, a very loud sound suddenly came from outside.

Looking towards the direction from which the sound came, the patrol team members had already rushed over.

Before Zhao Ruilong could react, they snatched the fruit knife from his hand.

Despite this, Zhao Ruilong still didn't take it to heart and said to them:

“I advise you not to lay a hand on me. Let me tell you, my father is Zhao Dong. If you lay a hand on me, my father will absolutely not let you off.”

"I don't care who you are. Once you commit a crime, no one will protect you, so you'd better come with us obediently. If you don't cooperate with the investigation, we have the power to take care of you."

But the patrol team members didn't take Zhao Ruilong's words seriously at all. In order to make him realize the seriousness of the matter, they even made such threats against him.

Zhao Ruilong knew that the patrol team had the right to do that, so after hearing what they said, he immediately became obedient, cooperated with them to put on the handcuffs, and walked outside together.

"It's a good thing you arrived in time. If you had come any later, something really bad might have happened here."

After Zhao Ruilong left, Gao Qilin finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to praise the patrol team standing nearby.

"This is what we should do, no need to say more. By the way, you and that child shouldn't be hurt, right?"

"I wasn't hurt, but they took all the money I brought with me. Do you think you can get it back?"

"The money issue is easy to solve. Don't worry, we've got it covered. We'll go get it right away."

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, the patrol team immediately stopped Zhao Ruilong and his group and demanded their money back. In no time, they had recovered all the money that had just been taken from them.

"You should be all set, right? If not, we'll head back now. We still have a lot of things to do, so we can't take too long."

After saying that, the patrol team left, leaving only Gao Qilin and his group behind.

"Alright, there's nothing more for us to do here. Let's go back quickly. By the way, they didn't hurt you, did they? If not, let's go to the hospital for a check-up now, just in case something serious happens."

After the matter was resolved, Gao Qilin focused all his attention on Guo Shaoheng, since he was still a child and this incident had a significant impact on him.

"I'm fine over there, don't worry. I'm so grateful to have you here. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it to the afterlife."

Guo Shaoheng looked like he was about to cry as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he hugged Gao Qilin and began to sob. After all, the experience he had gone through recently had been too painful for him.

"It's all in the past now. No one will lay a hand on you anymore. Okay, let's go back. There are still a lot of people at the amusement park who are worried about us."

After a brief chat, Gao Qilin led him away.

987 Because Guo Shaoheng had been tortured for some time, his clothes were tattered and he was no longer able to show his face.

To ease everyone's worries when they meet, Gao Qilin decides to buy him a new set of clothes so he can look presentable.

"I don't think new clothes are necessary. The clothes I'm wearing are worn out, but I can still wear them, so it shouldn't cause any problems."

When Gao Qilin offered to buy him clothes, Guo Shaoheng promptly refused, since in his eyes a set of clothes was very expensive.

Gao Qilin could tell that Guo Shaoheng was worried about money, so he quickly said:

"It's alright. A set of clothes doesn't cost me much at all. Besides, you've been working for me for so long, and I haven't paid you yet. It's not too much to ask me to buy you a set of clothes."

Guo Shaoheng thought about it carefully and realized that it was true, so he didn't dwell on the matter any further and went to the clothing store with Gao Qilin.

Chapter 648 The Arrogant Shop Assistant

Gao Qilin led Guo Shaoheng into a high-end clothing store, where a strong atmosphere of luxury immediately enveloped them.

The store was dimly lit, with soft and expensive carpets on the floor, and every corner displayed a variety of fashionable and luxurious clothing.

The mirror reflected a dazzling light, as if making the entire space appear magnificent and resplendent.

A group of customers and staff gathered in the store, and they all turned to look at Gao Qilin and Guo Shaoheng.

Guo Shaoheng's tattered clothes stood in stark contrast to the luxurious theme of the place.

"Sir, what kind of help do you need?" A well-dressed shop assistant approached, but upon closer inspection, she noticed Guo Shaoheng's tattered clothes and couldn't help but show a hint of disdain.

Moreover, his eyes revealed impatience with the unusual pairing of Gao Qilin and Guo Shaoheng.

"Hey, how dare someone like you come into our store?" the clerk asked sarcastically, his voice full of mockery.

Guo Shaoheng felt embarrassed, but did not respond to the shop assistant's words.

However, while Guo Shaoheng looked embarrassed, Gao Qilin stared at the shop assistant without any fear.

Gao Qilin frowned, his heart filled with anger towards the shop assistant, who hadn't expected that the shop assistant wouldn't recognize him.

He took a deep breath, calmly stared at the shop assistant, and said, "Your attitude is truly disappointing. In that case, let the manager come out in person!"

His voice was filled with anger.

The shop assistant curled her lip in a mocking smile and sneered, "You think the manager would come out for some nobody like you? Looking at your clothes, you're only fit to buy cheap stuff outside!"

Gao Qilin flew into a rage, his eyes flashing with fire: "Insolence! If you have the guts, call the manager here!"

The shop assistant shook his head dismissively: "The manager is busy and doesn't have time for someone as insignificant as you."

Gao Qilin and Guo Shaoheng exchanged a glance. Gao Qilin found it ridiculous that the president of Qiangsheng Group was being mocked by a mere shop assistant.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked over from a distance.

He possessed an elegant demeanor and a composed, confident air; he was the manager of the fashion store.
