Chapter 1076: Chapter 1077: Is This an Illusion?

Qi Lanqin’s eyes widened instantly, stammering, “Manager, he wants me to change clothes right here?”

Manager Liu chuckled dryly and said, “It’s just changing clothes, not a big deal. Look at those dancers on stage, aren’t they wearing bikinis?”

Qi Lanqin felt a surge of anger rising in her heart and said through gritted teeth, “I’m just a waitress, not a dancer.”

Manager Liu’s face darkened, saying, “That’s all I can do. If you don’t agree, then I can’t help you. Let me remind you, Brother Liang isn’t someone to mess with lightly. I advise you to avoid trouble. It’s just taking off your outer clothes, no one’s asking you to be naked, what’s so hard about that?”

The woman called Little Jade was excited and said, “Yeah, hurry up and take it off. I’m giving you clothes worth over eight thousand, you’re getting a great deal.”

Brother Liang laughed heartily, “Exactly, besides once you take it off, my girlfriend will take hers off too, what are you afraid of?”

Little Jade playfully rolled her eyes at Brother Liang but still said, “Yeah, I’ll take off mine too, what’s the deal? Are you physically disabled and afraid to show yourself naked?”

“I… I won’t take it off.” Qi Lanqin shook her head forcefully, teeth clenched.

Brother Liang’s face darkened, “If you won’t take it off, then pay up, eight thousand bucks. If you give me the money now, you’re off the hook.”

“I… I’ll pay you back.” Qi Lanqin clenched her fists tightly.

“Will pay back? Don’t tell me you want to owe it? That’s absolutely not acceptable. I want the money now.”

Qi Lanqin said, “I… I don’t have any money now.”

Brother Liang slammed the wine glass onto the table and said sternly, “Manager Liu, don’t say I didn’t give your bar face, your people really don’t know their place.”

“Well… Brother Liang, handle it yourself. We’ll immediately fire any employee who doesn’t behave.”

Qi Lanqin looked at the manager in shock, who shrugged and said, “I told you before in training, customers are God. You made a mistake but won’t find a way to compensate. We can’t keep employees like you. The rest is between you and Brother Liang, the bar isn’t responsible.”

Qi Lanqin felt extreme frustration, this feeling of being bullied really made her want to scream.

“Did you hear? If you don’t take it off, we’ll help you take it off.” Brother Liang said, gesturing with his hand.

Several companions immediately stood up excitedly and surrounded Qi Lanqin.

“No! No!” Qi Lanqin retreated swiftly, clutching the collar of her clothes tightly with both hands.

“Come on, little sister, let me help you and you’ll immediately wear clothes worth over eight thousand.”

“Yeah, yeah, you’re getting a bargain.”

Their eyes all shone with lust as they moved closer to Qi Lanqin, realizing just how beautiful she was, nearly drooling at her. Even if Qi Lanqin wanted to take it off herself, they wouldn’t allow it—they wanted to do it themselves to have a chance to touch her.

Qi Lanqin was terrified, instinctively screaming, “Help! Help!”

Upon hearing Qi Lanqin’s cries, the people at nearby tables immediately gathered around. Those surrounding Qi Lanqin glared, prompting them to retreat, realizing they were not people to provoke.

“Please, please help me, they’re going to take off my clothes.” Qi Lanqin urgently pleaded loudly.

Her plea only excited the onlookers, some whistled, and others made sarcastic comments.

“It’s just taking off clothes, not directly having sex with you, haha, hurry up, don’t dawdle.”

“Right, you’re just compensating for clothes, that’s normal. You even profit, not everyone can take off clothes and earn over eight thousand.”

Qi Lanqin, who had suffered bullying since childhood, had never encountered such humiliating things before. This felt like calling to the heavens and getting no response, groundless help, making tears flow uncontrollably. She yelled angrily, “If you dare to do this to me, I won’t let you off, definitely not!”

“Such arrogant words! Haha, I’d like to see how you won’t let me off, come on, guys, hurry up and strip her clothes for me.” Brother Liang said disdainfully.

“Alright!” The guys immediately responded, reaching towards Qi Lanqin.

Qi Lanqin screamed, fearing she’d be humiliated here today. Could anyone help her?

Her mind unexpectedly flashed with the thought of Song Xiaodong—would he help her if he were here?

Although Song Xiaodong might help, distant water can’t quench present fire, today’s humiliation seemed unavoidable.

Qi Lanqin focused her gaze on Brother Liang and Little Jade and then scanned the people surrounding her.

At this moment, she had decided inwardly, eventually she’d ask Song Xiaodong to help her take revenge, no matter the cost. She needed to remember these people deeply and vividly.

“Get lost!”

Just when Qi Lanqin thought she’d be humiliated, engraving hatred deeply in her mind, a loud shout suddenly rang out.

Then, those guys surrounding her seemed suddenly pulled away, all flew out and heavily hit the surrounding tables.

Next, a tall figure was already standing in front of her.

“Song… Big Brother Song!” Qi Lanqin looked at the person before her, convinced she must be hallucinating, she imagined it would happen.

Rubbing her eyes hard, she dared to confirm that the person before her was Song Xiaodong.

“Big Brother Song!” Qi Lanqin called out again and then rushed into Song Xiaodong’s arms, tightly holding his waist with both arms.

Song Xiaodong gently patted Qi Lanqin’s back, his face somber, saying, “Don’t be afraid, in this world, there’s no one who can bully you.”

Dragon Six and Dragon Nine were already standing behind Song Xiaodong, their faces cold, their gazes like swords, glaring viciously at Brother Liang’s crew. Qi Lanqin was very likely their Dragon Gate’s Princess, and these people dared to bully their Princess, an extreme humiliation for them, now just waiting for Song Xiaodong’s command, they’d mercilessly eliminate them!
