Chapter 368: The Trap
The man laughed smugly after hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, "If you want to get this life-saving money, then come back with me."
"I... no, I can't go back, I don't trust you." Lin Xiaoxiao eventually shook her head.
"If you don't come back with me, then I'll deduct all your wages, and I'll have the supervisor report to the Tianyu Group. By then, no one in all of Jiangzhou City will dare to hire you. Think carefully." The man said viciously.
"Think about it, without a job, there's no money. Without money, how will you pay for your mother's treatment?" The man's words felt like a sharp sword, piercing into Lin Xiaoxiao's heart.
At this moment, she seemed so pitiful and helpless.
"Let me tell you, miss, there is a department called the Bureau of Labor. You can go there and sue them. Forget about deducting your wages; they'll have to compensate you several months' worth of salary." Ye Tianfan said with some amusement.
After seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction, Ye Tianfan knew she hadn't experienced much in life, probably not long since graduation, with almost zero social experience, feeling helpless when something happens, not knowing how to resolve it.
"You..." The man, seeing success within reach, was suddenly interrupted by Ye Tianfan and looked at him angrily.
"What are you staring at? Believe it or not, I'll call the police to catch you." At this time, an onlooker spoke up.
Originally here to relax with some dancing, unexpectedly, a big drama unfolded right at the start. What to do? Watch and enjoy.
"Exactly! Exactly! I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon." Another onlooker, who had been recording with a phone, also spoke up.
"You... you... hmph!" The man was clearly a bit flustered and at a loss.
But he was still unwilling to give up. For the performance bonus after securing the client, he was ready to make one last effort.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, think carefully. Your mother's illness can't be delayed. Even if you sue us, by then, we'll just delay the payment and drag down your mother's health. Let's see who suffers in the end."
"Ah! You... you..." A hint of despair flashed in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes. Was she really left to be defiled by that pig client?
"Hmph!" Hearing the man's words, Ye Tianfan's eyes flashed with a trace of murderous intent. Such an inhuman beast is merely wasting air by living in this world.
However, there were so many people around, all recording with their phones, and it was his own bar, making it inadvisable to act rashly.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao thought of something and quickly grabbed Ye Tianfan's leg, saying, "Good man, can you go with me? Please, I really need this money, please, you're a good person. I will repay you. I... I..."
At the last part, Lin Xiaoxiao became incoherent, not knowing if Ye Tianfan would agree. After all, they were strangers to each other; his previous help was already more than enough.
"I'm the manager of this bar. I'll go with you and see if they dare to act in my place." Ye Tianfan said with slight murderous intent and instructed the bartender to be ready to call the police at any moment.
"There are surveillance cameras in my bar. If you try anything, I'll have the bartender call the police. The footage will be evidence." Ye Tianfan said coldly, staring at the man.
"..." The man's face turned very ugly. Bringing an outsider along would certainly not please the client, but without him, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't go along, and there was a risk someone might call the police.
The man glared fiercely at Ye Tianfan and then led the way.
Ye Tianfan comforted Lin Xiaoxiao as they walked, "I say, sis, after tonight, quit that Qingcun Group, they're clearly not good people. Come work at my bar; we have social insurance, housing funds, and bonuses."
Although Ye Tianfan had no romantic interest in Lin Xiaoxiao, she wasn't ugly, and could be nice to look at during work, better than bartenders with scars.
Moreover, Ye Tianfan admired filial people and wanted to help her.
"Ah? I... my mom won't let me work in this kind of environment!" Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before finally refusing.
Ye Tianfan thought about it and agreed; elders are usually conservative, and some even view bars as places for unsavory people.
But if not a bar, there's always the Qin Group. He could recommend her there, because filial people are generally loyal.
Just as Ye Tianfan was about to continue chatting with Lin Xiaoxiao.
The leading man coldly said they had arrived, then opened the private room door and gestured for them to enter.
Although a bit puzzled as to why he was invited in first, Ye Tianfan did not decline and went in directly, wanting to see what kind of scum the other person was.
"Slap!"
As Ye Tianfan entered the room, he heard a "slap" behind him.
"Hmm?" Ye Tianfan turned to find that the door behind him had been shut. Looking around the room, there was no client, just an empty room.
By now, Ye Tianfan clearly realized he had fallen into a trap. The two outside had been acting all along, fabricating the entire scene of forced drinking and seduction.
Ye Tianfan didn't bother to open the private room door to chase after them; it was pointless since those two were probably just lackeys.
"Great acting, worthy of competing for Best Actor and Actress." Ye Tianfan was not panicked by falling into the trap, instead mocking the two's performance.
He even intended to help Lin Xiaoxiao, who perhaps wasn't even her real name!
"Come on, tell me, who are you guys? What's your purpose in coming after me?" Ye Tianfan sat down on the sofa in the private room and shouted.
"I'm right beside you!" Just as Ye Tianfan finished speaking, a voice came from next to him.
"Hmm?" Ye Tianfan looked in the direction of the voice but saw nobody.
"Are you messing with me? Where are you?" Ye Tianfan looked around again and found no one.
"I'm on the sofa!" The voice sounded again.
"On the sofa?" Following the voice, Ye Tianfan looked onto the sofa and saw a small black box.
"A small black box?" Ye Tianfan wasn't sure if the voice was coming from that.
He picked up the small black box and examined it, realizing it was a wireless speaker.
At this moment, the speaker emitted a voice again, "Yep, it's me. Sorry for not meeting you in person, but I feared you'd kill me, hence the precaution."
Ye Tianfan was speechless; this person's sense of danger was too strong, being overly cautious.
"I say, going to such lengths to lure me here, what on earth for?"
"Heh! Heh! Heh!" The person on the speaker chuckled a few times, "I'm just here to declare war."
