Yu Kaihe sneered. The Heilong Chamber of Commerce was a dominant force in Zhonghai; did he really need to show respect to two women?

"What are you, to demand my respect? If she won't drink, then you drink!" Yu Kaihe said coldly, looking at Li Yunwan with indifference.

The men around Yu Kaihe laughed, eyeing Li Yunwan and Qiao Qiumeng with mockery.

To them, these two women were already trapped prey for Mr. Yu.

Li Yunwan's face turned pale. She couldn't handle alcohol well, and if she drank this bottle, she might end up drunk enough to need a stomach pump at the hospital.

Yu Kaihe said, "Ms. Qiao, I'm giving you a chance. It's up to you to take it."

Qiao Qiumeng hesitated, holding the bottle with pursed lips.

"I can't drink..." Li Yunwan gritted her teeth, sticking to her stance.

Yu Kaihe's expression turned sour, and he slapped Li Yunwan hard across the face, sneering, "If you won't let her drink, then you drink!"

Li Yunwan, delicate and pampered, had never been treated so roughly before.

But after that slap, she didn't dare utter a word. The other party was from the Heilong Chamber of Commerce, and she couldn't afford to offend them.

The Heilong Chamber of Commerce was on par with Zhonghai's richest man, Wang Wanjin, and the leading enterprise, Xiang Corporation.

Qiao Qiumeng knew Li Yunwan's drinking capacity and hadn't expected retrieving the twenty million debt to be so difficult. She steeled herself and said, "I'll drink. Mr. Yu, don't renege on the twenty million debt!"

After saying this, Qiao Qiumeng put the bottle to her lips and gulped down the entire bottle of liquor.

Yu Kaihe laughed heartily, "Well done, Ms. Qiao, you're indeed straightforward!"

Qiao Qiumeng endured the searing pain in her throat, pouring the entire bottle of liquor into her stomach.

As the alcohol hit her, she almost collapsed, looking at Yu Kaihe with drunken eyes, "Mr. Yu, I've drunk the bottle. You should return the twenty million debt to me..."

"I'm not feeling well now, I'll take my leave..."

Yu Kaihe grabbed Qiao Qiumeng's wrist, smiling, "The money will be returned, after all, it's rare to meet such a straightforward heroine like Ms. Qiao!"

"But I haven't had enough to drink yet. If Ms. Qiao leaves now, isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

Qiao Qiumeng felt her stomach churning, and Li Yunwan was extremely anxious. If this continued, Qiao Qiumeng would be completely taken advantage of by Yu Kaihe!

"Qi Dengxian, that useless guy, if he doesn't come, Mengmeng will be in big trouble!" Li Yunwan stomped her feet in frustration, but she didn't dare provoke Yu Kaihe.

Yu Kaihe's boss was Zhao Heilong, the president of the Heilong Chamber of Commerce. Zhao Heilong was a formidable figure, even shooting arrows with Yu Xiaolong today, which hinted at his terrifying background.

Qiao Qiumeng could barely stand, pleading, "Mr. Yu, let me go home. I can't drink anymore!"

Yu Kaihe chuckled, "Just one more drink, and then you can leave."

"Get lost!" Qiao Qiumeng couldn't take it anymore, screamed, and smashed the bottle on Yu Kaihe's head.

"Bang!"

Yu Kaihe staggered back, clutching his head and groaning in pain.

"You bitch!" Yu Kaihe's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he kicked Qiao Qiumeng in the stomach, sending her flying.

Li Yunwan turned pale with fright at the scene, never expecting Qiao Qiumeng to have the guts to hit Yu Kaihe with a bottle.

"It's over, Mengmeng's in big trouble!"

"Drink your own damn drink, can't you drink by yourself?" The door to the private room was kicked open, and Qi Dengxian barged in with a cold voice.

Qiao Qiumeng's body flew back and landed right in front of Qi Dengxian. He stepped forward swiftly, letting her fall softly into his arms.

With her last bit of consciousness, Qiao Qiumeng glanced at the man holding her, then closed her eyes heavily.

Qi Dengxian, with a dark expression, held Qiao Qiumeng and took a step towards Yu Kaihe, delivering a hard slap!

"Smack!"

Yu Kaihe's body lifted off the ground, spinning in the air twice before crashing heavily to the floor.

Li Yunwan looked at Qi Dengxian in shock. This insignificant prison guard dared to hit someone from the Heilong Chamber of Commerce for Qiao Qiumeng?!

The Heilong Chamber of Commerce members at the table stood up, charging at Qi Dengxian without a word.

Qi Dengxian, expressionless, held Qiao Qiumeng with one arm, protecting her, while his legs kicked out like a dancing butterfly. In no time, people were lying all over the floor, clutching their stomachs and curling up like cooked shrimp.

"Your drinking is none of my business, but bullying my wife is another matter," Qi Dengxian said with a cold smile, stepping on Yu Kaihe's head.

Yu Kaihe screamed in pain, roaring, "Kid, you're in trouble. Do you know who you've offended?"

"We're from the Heilong Chamber of Commerce! My boss is Mr. Zhao Heilong!"

Qi Dengxian sneered, "Since when do Zhao Niyou's subordinates have the right to bully my woman?"

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Though he didn't have deep feelings for Qiao Qiumeng yet, they had just gotten their marriage certificate, so they were legally husband and wife.

Hearing Qi Dengxian refer to Zhao Heilong that way, Li Yunwan almost fainted.

If Zhao Heilong heard this, not only Qi Dengxian but the entire Qiao Family might be wiped out.

"Bring the debt money, or I'll kill you today," Qi Dengxian said, bending down and lifting Yu Kaihe, tossing him beside the dining table.

Li Yunwan felt a chill down her spine. Was Qi Dengxian crazy, beating someone like this and still wanting to get the twenty million debt back?

"You think you can still get the debt? If you touch me, your whole family will be wiped out!"

"I'm telling you, not only will you not get the debt, but you'll also have to kneel for three days and nights, begging for my forgiveness! Otherwise..."

Yu Kaihe tried to curse again, but Qi Dengxian slammed his head against the table, causing blood to flow and Yu Kaihe to scream in agony.

Yu Kaihe was thoroughly beaten and pleaded, "Please, stop hitting me... I can't get the money."

"This payment requires Mr. Zhao's signature to be released from the finances and returned to the Qiao Family."

"Even if you beat me to death now, I can't get it out!"

Qi Dengxian frowned, saying coldly, "Fine, then have Zhao Niyou prepare the money for me. I'll come to get it myself later!"

Yu Kaihe nodded repeatedly, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, you still want the money? I'll gather my men and cripple you later!"

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Qi Dengxian said to Li Yunwan, turning to leave with Qiao Qiumeng in his arms.

Li Yunwan snapped out of her daze, quickly following Qi Dengxian out of the place. Whatever trouble might come later was not her concern.

"Qi Dengxian, are you out of your mind? Do you know the consequences of being so ruthless?" Li Yunwan said, still shaken, scolding him as they walked.

Qi Dengxian didn't bother to reply. After leaving, he handed Qiao Qiumeng to Li Yunwan, instructing her to take her back to the Qiao Family, while he returned to Yunding Villa.

The next morning, Qi Dengxian drove his low-profile Phaeton to visit the Qiao Family.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qiao Qiumeng lying on the sofa with Zhang Shaojie sitting beside her.

Zhang Shaojie comforted her gently, "Qiumeng, it's all over now. Just rest easy, I've already saved you."
