Chapter 283 A Good Beating

A banquet. When Tan Zheng entered with Song Ni, all conversations stopped, and heads turned towards the entrance. In the racing circle, Tan Zheng was a household name. From race car driver to club owner to the head of GN Group, he excelled in every role. Li Wen was the first to approach. Despite their last conversation not being pleasant, it did not affect their relationship. Li Wen first nodded at Song Ni, then looked at Tan Zheng. "The main officials from the racing association and several investors are over there. They heard you were coming and have been waiting." Tan Zheng's gaze darkened slightly, lost in thought. Song Ni gently patted his hand. "Then you go ahead, I'll stay here alone for a while." Tan Zheng frowned, reluctant to leave Song Ni alone. Li Wen urged from the side, "Everyone is waiting." Knowing that persuading Tan Zheng was futile, Li Wen looked at Song Ni. "Sister-in-law, look, this man is just so stubborn." Song Ni observed Li Wen's expression and figured that those people were important figures, and it would be beneficial for Tan Zheng to meet them. "Don't worry about me, I won't let what happened last time happen again." Last time, she had fallen into Bai Xi Yuan's trap at a banquet. Although Tan Zheng hadn't explicitly said anything afterward, Song Ni could feel his guilt regarding Bai Xi Yuan and her. Seeing that Tan Zheng was unmoved, Song Ni pointed to a spot. "Is it okay if I just stay here?" Li Wen urged again, "Hurry, those people are waiting." Tan Zheng finally relented. "You wait for me right here, quickly, don't go anywhere else." Song Ni nodded hastily, and Tan Zheng followed Li Wen. This kind of banquet was not much different from those back home, merely another commercial gathering. The difference was that Song Ni didn't know anyone here. Song Ni sat on the sofa, eating dessert, taking occasional sips of wine. Her tolerance for alcohol was still poor, so she dared not overindulge. She had entered with Tan Zheng, and everyone at the banquet knew Tan Zheng. Everyone wanted to curry favor with him. Not long after Song Ni sat down, someone approached with drinks. They didn't know Tan Zheng was married, but he had never brought a female companion before. This time, not only did he bring one, but she was an extremely beautiful Chinese woman. A moment's thought was enough to realize their relationship was not simple. Song Ni politely deflected their advances with a few brief remarks, and they understood she didn't want to engage with them. It wasn't until someone appeared that Song Ni's expression changed. It was Danny, who had come after having an arm dislocated by Tan Zheng and a trip to the hospital. He was still accompanied by the same woman. Before Song Ni could even consider how to get back at him, Danny spotted her. Seeing that Tan Zheng was not by her side, he immediately walked over. Song Ni smiled at him. "Your name is Danny?" Danny looked bewildered, unsure of the reason for Song Ni's change in demeanor. However, looking at Song Ni up close, he was even more captivated by her beauty. Having "played" for so many years, he had never encountered such a beautiful Oriental woman. For a moment, Danny was mesmerized and nodded repeatedly as if enchanted. Song Ni glanced around the banquet hall. There were many people, and there were also surveillance cameras. "I don't know where the restroom is here, could you take me?" Danny's eyes lit up instantly. A restroom was an excellent place for dalliance. "Sure, I'll take you." Song Ni picked up her handbag and stood up. She gave Danny a slight smile. "Then I'll trouble you." "No trouble, no trouble." As he spoke, Danny reached out to hold Song Ni's hand, but she deftly dodged him. Song Ni hooked her lips. "You walk ahead, I'll follow behind." Danny's lust got the better of him; he would do whatever Song Ni said. Everyone looked at them curiously. Who here didn't know Danny had a grudge against Zheng? Why was Zheng's woman following Danny? The spirit of gossip burned intensely. Everyone pretended to look casually towards the restroom. One of the female companions, bolder than the rest, quietly left the door ajar after they left, hoping to overhear what was happening inside. There was a half-minute of silence, then after another half-minute, screams came from the direction of the restroom. The man's screams, "Ah!" "Mmm!" "Oh!" "No!"... It even sounded like a simple aria. Everyone exchanged glances, and with unspoken understanding, they slowly moved closer to the door, wanting to hear more clearly. Song Ni began her assault when Danny prepared to make a move on her in the restroom. She first delivered a hand chop to Danny's dislocated arm, crippling half his combat ability, then kicked him in the groin, making him unable to stand upright. Following that, she delivered a kick to his neck, causing him to collapse completely. Finally, she dislocated his other arm. After finishing, Song Ni forcefully stepped on his hand with the heel of her high-heeled shoe. ... When Tan Zheng returned at top speed, Song Ni was in the midst of a heated encounter in the restroom. When the man didn't see Song Ni on the sofa, his expression darkened. He casually asked someone. The person pointed towards the restroom. "She went to the restroom with Danny." Tan Zheng frowned fiercely and immediately hurried towards the restroom. Just as he reached the door, he heard Danny's wails. Tan Zheng paused for a moment before pushing the door open. When the wails subsided, Tan Zheng waited by the door. Song Ni washed her hands, then slowly returned to the banquet hall, drying her hands with a handkerchief. She was immersed in the pleasure of avenging Tan Zheng, oblivious to the silence of the banquet. As she pushed the door open, her smile hadn't fully faded when she saw Tan Zheng standing there with his hands on his hips, his face like thunder. "..." It was her greed; she got carried away beating up the bad guy and couldn't stop, forgetting the time. Song Ni quickly composed her expression. "Did you finish your chat so quickly?" Tan Zheng's face remained cold. "You promised you would wait for me right there, what were you doing now?" Song Ni: "Using the toilet." Tan Zheng said nothing. Song Ni became a little anxious. "I needed to go, you couldn't expect me to hold it, could you?" Tan Zheng raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Then tell me, why did you go to the restroom with Danny?" Song Ni's face changed drastically. She quickly scanned the banquet guests. Tsk, why were these people repeating everything Tan Zheng asked? Finally, she told the truth. "I couldn't hold it in, so I went to beat him up." Tan Zheng nudged his cheek with his tongue. This was Song Ni's nature; she would go to any lengths to defend those she cared about and seek justice. He was simply worried. When he came out and didn't see her, and then learned she had gone to the restroom, he couldn't help but recall what happened last time. Tan Zheng suppressed his emotions. The young girl was very capable and surely trusted her own abilities. If he continued to reprimand her, it would hurt her feelings. The man lowered his gaze and asked, "Did your hand hurt when you hit him?" Song Ni's eyes lit up. "It hurt, it still hurts now." As she spoke, Song Ni extended her hand to Tan Zheng. "Look, it's all red." Song Ni's voice was muffled, her eyes moist, looking pitiful.
