CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169: DIGGING A HOLE

Night had fallen.

The silent Wu Shipyard seemed to resurrect from death itself.

Luxurious, magnificent, violent, and the ultimate indulgence.

The first event of the evening was a fight.

Two overly muscular men fought each other in close combat.

Their primitive fighting style, fists smashing against flesh, stirred up the spectators’ zeal.

"Fight to the death!"

Nobody knew who yelled it first.

The phrase, like a lit match, ignited the fuse and exploded enthusiasm all around.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"It’s just a life, isn’t it? I’ll buy it for five million!"

"5.5 million!"

"6 million!"

The bidders, increasingly thrilled, soon reached ten million!

Han Hu watched the expressions of the two men on the large screen.

Their eyes carried a fear of death, yet they dared not retreat.

They could only hit each other harder with each punch.

As long as the opponent fell, he could survive.

Jian Lingyuan watched Han Hu’s expression. "You want to save them?"

"How can we save them?"

"We could call it off."

"And after calling off this one-time fight?" Han Hu retorted.

Jian Lingyuan’s lips curled up slightly, understanding the implicit meaning behind Han Hu’s words.

No wonder Jinhai liked Fu Bing, who would bend the rules to save others.

Even though she was in a tough spot herself, she was willing to reach out and help others.

Wei Dong and Yin Huanjiang, with bloodshot eyes, watched the fight in the ring.

The splattering blood awakened the beastliness in their veins.

Excitedly, Wei Dong grabbed a passing waitress and kissed her fiercely.

Yin Huanjiang’s face changed. "Wei Dong, have you forgotten the rules here?"

Alcohol numbed Wei Dong’s brain but gave him a moment of clarity.

The waitress struggled gently.

Holding the soft fragrance in his arms, Wei Dong’s heart was surging.

"It’s just a waitress, what’s there to fear?"

Yin Huanjiang warily observed their surroundings. "There are so many women here you can sleep with; choose someone else."

The staff at Wu Shipyard were not like those elsewhere.

Here, the waitstaff just poured water and tea; they did nothing else.

If a patron forced them, Wu Shipyard would intervene.

The waitress’s soft, faint scream greatly aroused Wei Dong.

He forcefully pressed her down and urgently tore at her thin, revealing clothes.

Dressed so scantily, was she not just waiting for a man to rip them apart?

With a waist so soft and cries so enticing, was she not just waiting to be taken by a man?

Every cell in Wei Dong’s body screamed to possess the woman beneath him.

With bloodshot eyes, he watched her, wishing he could devour her completely.

Seeing Wei Dong had become obsessed, Yin Huanjiang dared not linger.

Messing with the staff of Wu Shipyard could provoke retaliation from everyone there.

Wu Shipyard was not to be trifled with!

Just as Wei Dong was about to remove the waitress’s thin, sexy underwear, a light above his head suddenly brightened.

The sudden bright light left his mind blank.

The waitress screamed sharply, pushing Wei Dong away with all her strength.

Mortified and despairing, she picked up her torn clothes from the floor, covered herself, and hid behind Jian Lingyuan.

Other staff members immediately wrapped her in a towel.

Jian Si, with reddened eyes, said, "President Jian, you must stand up for me." Her voice, soft and melodious like spring water, reignited the fire inside Wei Dong.

Wei Dong, however foolish, understood that he had been set up.

Wei Dong shouted angrily, "Who gave you the audacity to plot against me?"

Jian Lingyuan looked down on him with disdain and said, "As a man, you can’t even admit your own desires. I see that’s as far as you’ll get."

"There was something in your drink!" Wei Dong exclaimed in irritation.

He felt hot all over and was desperate to find a woman to vent his frustration on.

"Do you mean to say that a waitress at Wu Shipyard spiked your drink on her own accord to make you sleep with her?"

Wei Dong faltered. His drink hadn’t been served by Jian Si; she had just happened to pass by his side.

"People of my Wu Shipyard have never been unfairly bullied for no reason. Master Wei, don’t blame us for being inhospitable!"

Jian Lingyuan ordered people to drag Wei Dong into a room filled with cameras.

Everyone withdrew.

Wei Dong’s figure appeared on Wu Shipyard’s large screen, viewed by everyone.

The audience watched Wei Dong making a fool of himself in the room and burst into laughter.

The Wei Family was considered a prominent family in Jiangcheng.

Everyone entering Wu Shipyard wore masks as they did not want their identities exposed.

Now Wei Dong had been unmasked and a disgraceful video of him was left behind.

The crowd couldn’t help but gasp.

Many well-informed people present had heard about the uncertain fate of Qin Jinhai and knew of his connection to Wu Shipyard. With him dead, they reasoned, the management of Wu Shipyard surely wouldn’t be as stringent as before; tampering with a few waitresses wouldn’t raise any objections.

To their surprise, the rules here hadn’t changed since Qin Jinhai was around.

Wei Dong’s video, along with his nearly incapacitated body, was sent back to the Wei Family early the next morning.

Upon seeing his grandson barely clinging to life and the humiliating video, the elder Mr. Wei fainted on the spot.

The Wei Family was thrown into chaos.

Wei Dong was the only son of his generation in the Wei Family, having five elder sisters above him.

Wei Guoqiang had numerous affairs with women in the past, attempting to have a son. However, those children weren’t carried to term successfully.

Only when Lin Meiqi became pregnant with the sixth child, confirmed to be a boy, did Wei Guoqiang finally settle down.

Over the years, Wei Dong had been the golden child of the Wei Family, never having to endure any slight or grief.

Wei Guoqiang, his eyes red with fury, exclaimed, "The people of Wu Shipyard have gone too far! My son taking a liking to one of their waitresses is her great fortune, and yet they dare to trap my son!"

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! If I don’t handle Wu Shipyard, I’ll change my surname!"

The housekeeper agreed repeatedly.

The video of Wei Dong circulated on a small scale among elite circles.

Upon seeing it, Yin Huanjiang felt his scalp tingle.

He immediately went to find Lun Shaochen.

The three of them had previously slept with Han Hu one after another at Wu Shipyard.

This shared secret made them into a community of interest, resulting in even closer interactions than before.

Lun Shaochen had seen the video.

He asked, "You were with Wei Dong, why didn’t you stop him?"

"I tried to," Yin Huanjiang said, visibly shaken as he looked at Lun Shaochen. "He wasn’t in his right mind at the time. Seeing the situation was about to spiral out of control, I didn’t dare stay any longer and had to leave first. I suspect Wei Dong was targeted."

Lun Shaochen’s heart tightened. "Why do you say that?"

"Last night, my drink was the same as his. I was fine, but he was affected."

"Are you implying someone at Wu Shipyard was targeting him?"

Yin Huanjiang nodded silently.

Lun Shaochen couldn’t help but follow this line of thought. "Wei Dong hasn’t done anything recently, why would Wu Shipyard suddenly target him?"

"Everyone says Wu Shipyard is backed by Qin Jinhai, and now that Qin Jinhai’s fate is uncertain, who is most likely to take over Wu Shipyard?"

A name instantly popped into Lun Shaochen’s mind.

He suddenly broke out into a cold sweat.

Yin Huanjiang and he exchanged glances.

Shock was evident in both of their eyes.

"Who are you thinking of?"

Lun Shaochen slowly mentioned a name.

"Fu Bing!"
