Chapter 21: Who Wants to Hit Me?

“Really?” The moment she heard there was news about her sister, Huo Yutong forgot all about being angry with Lu Ming and the two of them hurried out together.

They drove Lu Ming’s battered Santana, arriving at the entrance of a bar in the West District called Eternal Night. As soon as they got out of the car, Futu came up to meet them and said, “Mr. Lu, that girl named Huo Yufeng is inside.”

Lu Ming nodded, and the three of them entered the bar together.

It was already past nine in the evening, the bar was at its peak, pulsating music and dim lights making it difficult to see clearly at first. The three of them found a relatively secluded booth and sat down. Futu pointed at another booth and said, “She’s over there.”

Lu Ming and Huo Yutong looked over and saw Huo Yufeng sitting with seven or eight men, drinking and laughing.

Huo Yutong immediately stood up, ready to go over. Lu Ming stopped her and said, “Have you thought this through? She might not want to come back with you.”

“She’s my sister. Of course I can handle her,” Huo Yutong replied, striding toward the booth.

Moments later, Lu Ming saw Huo Yutong and her sister embroiled in a heated argument. One of the men stood up and pushed Huo Yutong.

Lu Ming’s anger flared instantly. Quarreling with her sister was one thing, but letting others lay a hand on her was absolutely unacceptable. He stood up and strode over. Futu and Huang Qi remained seated in the corner; this was a family matter, and without Mr. Lu’s instructions, Futu wouldn’t interfere.

With a few quick steps, Lu Ming reached Huo Yutong’s side. “What’s going on?” he asked.

He saw tears brimming in Huo Yutong’s eyes, her face full of anger as she stared at her sister, unable to speak.

Huo Yufeng, upon seeing Lu Ming, looked at him with undisguised hatred, as if he were her mortal enemy.

At that moment, a young man dressed in designer clothes, strikingly handsome, glanced at Lu Ming and Futu and said, “You even brought backup? How amusing.”

Lu Ming looked back at him and asked sternly, “And who are you?”

“Who am I?” The handsome man, with his arm around Huo Yufeng’s waist, answered with leisurely arrogance, “I’m her boyfriend.”

The words made Huo Yutong so angry she could barely breathe. Her sister had only been out for a few days and already had a boyfriend? Who knew what would happen if this went on.

Furious, Huo Yutong stepped forward to pull Huo Yufeng away. “Get up now and come home with me.”

“Why should I go back with you? Don’t touch me!” Huo Yufeng screamed at her, almost hysterical.

Huo Yutong hadn’t expected her little sister to change so much in just a few days—now she was yelling at her? Tears spilled from her eyes. “You’ve really let me down,” she said through sobs.

Huo Yufeng ignored her, answering coldly, “You let me down first.”

Watching the two sisters locked in bitter conflict, Lu Ming could only shake his head in resignation. “Why throw yourself away like this?” he asked quietly.

His words instantly enraged Huo Yufeng’s handsome boyfriend, who shot to his feet. “Watch your mouth, punk. What do you mean, throwing her away? She’s with me, Li Shao, now. I suggest you mind your words.”

Though clearly irritated, the young man still maintained a veneer of composure, carrying himself with a certain air of confidence.

“That’s right! Being with Li Shao means a bright future!”

“Li Shao’s family is worth hundreds of millions—who are you to talk trash?”

“If you keep spouting nonsense, we’ll cut your tongue out!”

Li Shao’s lackeys were far les
