Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Strange Feeling

Zhi Qi elegantly walked towards Fang Xiaocao, who stared blankly at her long-unseen old friend.

Seeing the dazed look on Fang Xiaocao’s face, Zhi Qi’s lips curved upward, revealing a charming smile.

Zhi Qi offered her fair, delicate hand to Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao blankly placed her own hand into Zhi Qi’s palm.

Zhi Qi gently exerted force, pulling Fang Xiaocao up from the floor and into her embrace.

“Are you alright?”

Zhi Qi asked softly, looking down at Fang Xiaocao.

Her cool voice was like a clear spring.

Fang Xiaocao snapped back to reality and, realizing she was nestled in Zhi Qi’s arms, her pretty face instantly turned red.

“I’m fine…”

“Thank goodness you arrived on time…”

Fang Xiaocao whispered.

Curled up in Zhi Qi’s arms, Fang Xiaocao felt an inexplicable sense of security.

It was just like the old times at the orphanage, when only by squeezing into the same small bed with Zhi Qi could she sleep soundly during thunderstorms.

Fang Xiaocao felt her face getting hotter, and even though they were both girls, she still felt a bit shy.

Fang Xiaocao struggled out from Zhi Qi’s embrace and, blinking curiously, surveyed her from head to toe.

Having not seen her for a while, the guy had gotten even more handsome.

That’s right, handsome!

Fang Xiaocao hadn’t chosen the wrong adjective.

Zhi Qi had always been handsome, from childhood to adulthood.

Ever since the day Fang Xiaocao met her, she had always dressed like a little boy.

Even now that she was grown up, she hadn’t changed this androgynous dressing style.

Fang Xiaocao once curiously asked Zhi Qi why she liked wearing boys’ clothes.

Zhi Qi smiled, pinching Fang Xiaocao’s chubby baby-face, and said, “This way I can protect myself, protect Xiaocao.”

Zhi Qi’s indulgent expression left an indelible impression on the young Fang Xiaocao.

Even now, Fang Xiaocao had a strange delusion about Zhi Qi.

Although they were good sisters, Fang Xiaocao would subconsciously treat Zhi Qi as a big brother.

Zhi Qi’s gaze swept over Fang Xiaocao’s disheveled clothes, and her expression suddenly darkened, a layer of frost covering her beautiful face.

Turning her head towards the security guards sprawled on the ground, her gaze grew icy. Her rosy lips parted slightly, and she uttered in her cool voice,

“Hit them!”

“The Zhi Family will cover the medical expenses.”

Zhi Qi took off the white suit jacket she was wearing and casually draped it over Fang Xiaocao.

Upon hearing the order, the bodyguards immediately took action.

In no time, the private room filled with…

…the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh and the screams of the security guards.

“Is that woman Han Xue?”

Zhi Qi asked indifferently, looking at Han Xue.

“Yes, it’s her.”

Fang Xiaocao meekly nodded in confirmation. @@novelbin@@

Zhi Qi’s expression turned icy as she gave the bodyguard holding Han Xue a look.

Understanding instantly, the bodyguard’s palm swung in a full circle and delivered a resounding slap to Han Xue.

Han Xue staggered, her fair and pretty face swiftly swelling red.

The bodyguard looked towards Zhi Qi, waiting for further orders.

Zhi Qi coldly watched Han Xue, her eyes filled with boundless indifference and uttered curtly, “Continue!”

The bodyguard nodded and raised his hand again, giving Han Xue two more resounding slaps.

A trail of blood ran from the corner of Han Xue’s mouth.

“Be careful, she has a contagious disease.”

Seeing Han Xue bleeding, Fang Xiaocao hurriedly spoke up with a warning.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Zhi Qi’s gaze sharpened.

“You weren’t hurt by her, were you?”

Zhi Qi asked with concern.

“No~”

Fang Xiaocao shook her head.

“That’s good!”

Relieved, Zhi Qi let out a sigh.

“Put on protective gear before continuing.”

Zhi Qi said coldly.

“After you’re done, go to the hospital for a check-up.”

With that, Zhi Qi took Fang Xiaocao’s hand and started walking towards the exit of the private room.

“Hey, hey, hey, my friends~”

Fang Xiaocao called out.

Zhi Qi hesitated for a moment and glanced over.

“Bring those three with us.”

She said indifferently to the bodyguards at the door.

The bodyguards nodded; one of them carried Wen Shi in a princess carry, while the other two supported Su Wanqing and Yun Luoshu, following behind Zhi Qi and Fang Xiaocao as they left the private room.

Zhi Qi led Fang Xiaocao out of the private room, and at that moment, the screams from inside became even more shrill, pitching up more than an octave.

Fang Xiaocao shivered, her heart pounding wildly.

“Umm…”

“I called the cops, but is that really okay?”

Fang Xiaocao pointed weakly at the room.

“It’s fine, they’ll handle it.”

With a mischievous grin, Zhi Qi ruffled Fang Xiaocao’s hair and chuckled.

In an instant, Fang Xiaocao’s hairstyle transformed into a disorderly nest of strands.

“Giggle~”

Looking at her handiwork, Zhi Qi laughed happily.

“Hmph, how annoying~”

Fang Xiaocao glowered at Zhi Qi, feigning annoyance.

Zhi Qi seemed unfazed, almost enjoying Fang Xiaocao’s playful indignation.

“Let’s get going.”

After teasing Fang Xiaocao a bit more, Zhi Qi said with a laugh.

Fang Xiaocao nodded and let Zhi Qi lead her by the hand down the stairs.

Just as they reached the bottom of the KTV, they ran into Wang Qiang.

“Officer Wang!”

Fang Xiaocao greeted him.

“Xiaocao, are you alright?”

Wang Qiang asked with concern.

“I’m fine, it’s a good thing Zhi Qi arrived in time.”

Fang Xiaocao shook her head and replied.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang turned to look at Zhi Qi.

Zhi Qi politely nodded his head.

“What about Han Xue?”

Wang Qiang asked in a deep voice.

“Han Xue…”

Fang Xiaocao hesitated, then looked at Zhi Qi with difficulty.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to answer, but it was difficult to do so.

She couldn’t exactly tell Wang Qiang that Han Xue and her group were being beaten up upstairs…

“Everyone is in room 403 upstairs. My bodyguards have subdued all those with ill intentions. There was some resistance, so they had to use force. If there’s a need to assist with the investigation, my lawyer will follow up,” Zhi Qi said with a smile, taking Fang Xiaocao’s hand and speaking to Wang Qiang.

“Alright, we’re heading up now.”

Wang Qiang nodded and, with a wave of his hand, led the three colleagues who had arrived with him upstairs.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you home,” Zhi Qi said with a smile.

“That doesn’t seem right…”

Fang Xiaocao looked upstairs, her voice timid.

“Don’t worry, my lawyer will take care of it,” Zhi Qi said with a reassuring smile.

“It’s not that…”

“We four are the victims here!”

“Don’t we have to make a statement?” Fang Xiaocao pointed out helplessly.

“Probably not…”

Zhi Qi blinked, suggesting.

“Don’t give me that~”

Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes and scolded playfully.

“If you’re busy, you can go ahead. I have my own car. After the statement, we’ll head home on our own,” Fang Xiaocao told Zhi Qi.

“This…”

Zhi Qi hesitated.

“Miss, you also have a dinner engagement to attend,” the bodyguard whispered a reminder.

Hearing the bodyguard’s words, Zhi Qi shot an annoyed glance at him.

“Okay, okay~”

“Go ahead~”

“I’ll treat you to some spicy hotpot when we have time~” Fang Xiaocao pushed Zhi Qi towards the door, using her head.

“Hey hey hey, okay, okay, stop pushing. I’m going,” Zhi Qi said resignedly.

“How about this, I’ll leave a few bodyguards with you to sort this out. Once it’s done, they can head home,” Zhi Qi proposed, pressing down on Fang Xiaocao’s head and speaking softly.
