219: Chapter 219 I know your deputy director

Seeing the beautiful woman pass out after drinking the spiked juice, the man closest to her immediately reached out, wanting to get a feel.

He had been coveting those breasts that tempted one to commit a crime for a long time!

But before he could touch her, he suddenly felt a kick to his back, followed by a dizzying spin. He flew over the sofa, smashed through a glass wall, and collapsed onto the ground, left only to wail.

The loud noise was masked by the chaotic music and didn't attract much attention.

Those nearby saw this scene, but instead of calling for order, they pulled out their phones to watch the spectacle.

"Someone's hitting people!" "Help!"

This group of scum, who only knew how to use underhanded tactics to bully girls, clearly lacked the guts compared to the thugs Zhao Xiaoshuai had beaten before.

A large group was instantly stunned by that single kick. Even though there were seven or eight companions on the scene and only one opponent, no one dared to step forward to retaliate, and they could only call for the security guards they had already bribed to come and back them up.

"What's going on?"

Several burly men in black security uniforms pushed their way over. After taking a quick look at the situation, they frowned.

They then immediately walked toward Zhao Xiaoshuai, who was standing against the crowd. "Control everyone first, and take them to the security office for questioning!"

These habitual scumbags wanted to take the girl out of the bar without a trace. If they hadn't greased the palms of the security staff, it might have been troublesome, so they had never skimped on their regular bribes, and this was where that value showed.

Seeing the security guards surround Zhao Xiaoshuai first, a few of the stunned scum quietly tried to scatter and flee. Once they mixed into the dance floor, it would be impossible to drag them out.

Zhao Xiaoshuai frowned and was about to step forward to subdue those trying to run, but several burly security guards had already arrived in front of him.

Seeing the subtle eye contact between them earlier, he judged that there might be something fishy going on, so he didn't hold back either.

"Get lost."

"Control the people first." The security captain gave the order, not daring to be too aggressive.

After all, while the vast majority of people on the first floor were ordinary and wouldn't cause trouble, occasionally there were young masters who liked to play wild, so they didn't dare to burn their bridges.

But Zhao Xiaoshuai was no longer giving them any face; anyone who got close to him was kicked flying.

This kick was something he had learned from Hao Jinghan. The technique for applying force was very specific—it could send someone flying a long distance, but as long as they didn't immediately hit a wall, they wouldn't suffer serious internal injuries. It was a demonstrative attack with great visual impact.

Sure enough, as several one or two-hundred-pound burly men were casually kicked flying by Zhao Xiaoshuai, the other security guards quickly stopped in their tracks.

For a monthly salary of a few thousand, who would risk their life?

Seeing this, the terrified scum turned to run, but after running only a few meters, they were accurately hit in the thigh's pressure point by a wine bottle and immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

The remaining people, terrified into silence, hugged their heads and dared not run again.

"Big Brother, spare us! We don't know them; we just happened to join their drinking session."

"Shut up."

The commotion finally alarmed more and more customers. As the disturbance spread, the DJ stopped, and the lights were switched to bright mode.

"What's going on?"

Cao Dewang rushed over. Normally, he wouldn't need to get involved in such matters, but there were two acquaintances on the first floor, and he was worried they might be involved.

But what he feared most happened. Pushing through the crowd, he saw his own security guards standing timidly to the side. On the other side were seven or eight young men squatting with their hands on their heads, and further away, one person was lying on the ground groaning.

A girl who seemed to be drunk was lying on the sofa. "Holy crap, what a beautiful girl!"

Withdrawing his thoughts, he finally looked at the center of everyone's attention: Zhao Xiaoshuai, who was standing alone between the two groups.

He had a rough idea of the incident, but there were still many questions, and he couldn't figure out exactly what had happened.

"President Zhao, what happened? You aren't hurt, are you?"

"Brother Cao, that guy on the ground fed the girl a drink spiked with drugs. She is now unconscious, and I have already called the police and an ambulance."

In the nightlife scene, everyone relies on their own abilities, and the vast majority of people look down on such low-life tactics as drugging.

"Daring to drug someone on my turf! They've got some nerve. Watch me break their legs! But, President Zhao, isn't calling the police a bit too much? Why didn't you give me a heads-up first?"

Although Cao Dewang wished he could really break the legs of those scum, Zhao Xiaoshuai's unauthorized call to the police still made him slightly angry.

If it became a big deal, he would have to spend money to smooth things over; otherwise, it would have a major impact on the bar's business.

"Judging by their practiced cooperation, these people are definitely habitual offenders, and I suspect that your security guards here also have some shady relationship with them. So, no one currently on the scene can leave."

"President Zhao! Isn't this going a bit too far? You aren't giving me any face at all?"

If something happens at the bar, although it will have some impact, it is still something that can be suppressed.

But if the bar's staff are colluding with these scum, their rivals will never let this opportunity pass. Once the matter becomes a big deal, it's not impossible for the bar to be directly sealed and shut down.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing them.

At this moment, Xing Tianjie, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, understood the cause and effect a little and immediately walked out to pull on Cao Dewang.

"If you don't want your bar to really go under, say less and cooperate fully with Brother Zhao. Given Brother Zhao's temper, he won't let you suffer any losses in the end."

But Cao Dewang clearly didn't have much awe for this stranger he had just met today.

"Young Master Jie, I gave you face and didn't lose my temper because of the person you brought. Now, he's the one not giving me face! My bar is so big not because I rely on anyone's expression to run it. Who doesn't have a few people up top?"

Just then, a large group of law enforcement officers walked in.

Cao Dewang briefly put away his anger and quickly went to meet the officer leading the team. "Comrade, it's all a misunderstanding. Someone reported a false alarm. Sorry for the trouble. My family and your Deputy Bureau Chief are family friends. I will visit with my father another day to apologize."

The leader at the front slapped away the cigarette Cao Dewang offered.

He knew this Young Master Cao, but today he couldn't give this person face.

Just then, a young man in the team made a phone call.

"Hello, Uncle Chen? It's me, Zhigang."

"I'm at Blue Moon. Someone reported a malicious drugging and rape case here, but when we arrived at the scene, the owner said he was a family friend of yours and asked us to withdraw. What do you think about this?"

"Ah, oh, of course I trust Uncle Chen, but the inspection department still has to follow routine procedures to conduct some checks. I'll hang up now."

Hao Zhigang walked out of the crowd and said to Cao Dewang:

"Deputy Bureau Chief Chen says he doesn't know your Cao family at all. Do you have any other high-ranking officials you are familiar with? Why don't you name a few more and let me try?"
