Plot Recap, Gu Yan Arrives

As they were walking towards the private room.

The others curiously asked Leng Ling'er, "Sister Ling'er, didn't you say you used to come to places like this often? Will you be able to choose songs when we get to the room?"

Uh... I have no idea, it's actually my first time here too.

Leng Ling'er felt a bit panicked inside, but she maintained a calm exterior and said, "Of... of course! I'm an old hand at this kind of thing!"

"Just tell me what songs you want to sing, and I'll select them for you."

"Yay! Sister Ling'er, you're awesome!"

After entering the private room.

What the group didn't notice was that around a corner,

Shen Tian's figure peered out.

He looked uncertainly towards the room Leng Ling'er had just entered.

"Isn't that Jiang Tao's useless girlfriend? What's she doing here?"

Shen Tian muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly filling with greed.

Perfect, since I couldn't have you at Starlight, here... hehe.

Thinking this, Shen Tian walked back to his own room, intending to call for some backup.

Meanwhile.

As Gu Yan rushed towards the city, he was also pondering which KTV Leng Ling'er and her friends might have gone to sing.

After all, the Starlight from the original story no longer existed.

So he wasn't sure if they might have suddenly changed their minds about singing.

"Tsk, since I've already prevented the events from the original story."

"Even if Leng Ling'er and the others still go to sing at a KTV, they shouldn't fall into the same trap... right?"

Gu Yan felt a bit unsure, after all, there was something called the world's self-correcting force.

What if... just what if, what if the plot really did come full circle? That would be terrible.

Tsk...

Oh right!

An idea suddenly popped into Gu Yan's mind.

He inquired internally: "System, how can I find Leng Ling'er's location?"

[Host, who is Leng Ling'er? This system only knows Leng Qingqiu, who is currently home alone.]

?

"Don't joke around, if something happens to my sister-in-law, my Qingqiu will definitely be heartbroken."

[......Fine, querying Leng Ling'er's location will cost 1 point]

Hearing this response,

Gu Yan finally smiled. This would work.

......

......

"Sister Ling'er, aren't you done yet? We've been waiting for so long."

The group looked impatiently at Leng Ling'er, who was fiddling with a screen not far away.

She had been messing with it for over ten minutes but hadn't managed to select a single song.

Leng Ling'er felt a bit embarrassed as she continued scrolling through the screen, responding, "Just a moment, I'll be done in a second."

Oh no, I'm in trouble, I can't figure this out at all...

Leng Ling'er nervously stared at the flashy screen in front of her.

Heaven knows she was actually technologically illiterate and had no idea which button did what on this interface.

Little Wei, due to her family background, knew a bit about how entertainment venues worked, so she quietly came up to Leng Ling'er and whispered, "Sister Ling'er, tap this song category list, and you can choose songs from there."

Hearing this, Leng Ling'er scratched the back of her head: "Oh... hehe, of course I knew that."

She reached out her hand, about to tap the screen.

But just then,

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

Several figures barged in.

Shen Tian, leading a group of men, strode into Leng Ling'er's private room as if they owned the place, and closed the door behind them.

They looked at Leng Ling'er's group and couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, well, well, are the little sisters out having fun?"

"Want some big brothers to keep you company?"

"Yeah, don't be shy, we'll cover the bill for this session."

Leng Ling'er and her friends were stunned at this scene.

Then one by one, they stood up from the sofa and started cursing: "Pah! Who do you think you are? Coming here to harass us?"

"Sister Ling'er!! I'm going to call security!"

Leng Ling'er and her friends were rebellious young troublemakers, fearless in their youth and inexperience. Having never suffered setbacks before, they naturally weren't afraid of Shen Tian's group of street thugs.

Leng Ling'er's expression also turned very annoyed: "Get lost, this is our room."

She tugged at Little Wei, saying, "Little Wei, go out and call security! These guys are causing trouble on their turf!"

However.

To Leng Ling'er's surprise,

Little Wei's face had turned pale, and her body seemed to start trembling.

"Little Wei?"

Leng Ling'er was taken aback.

"Sister Ling'er... you should all leave quickly..."

"These people... we can't mess with them."

Little Wei pulled at Leng Ling'er's hand, speaking with a stiff tone.

She naturally wasn't afraid of Shen Tian's gang, but she had witnessed the power of the Gu family's young master.

Since this man was Shen Tian's brother-in-law, he was clearly not someone they could afford to provoke.

"What are you saying, Little Wei? I could take down this group in no time."

Leng Ling'er frowned, glaring hostilely at Shen Tian and his men. She took up a fighting stance and said, "I advise you to get out of here quick, or else I can't guarantee that your skinny arms and legs will be able to walk out of here!"

Leng Ling'er's taunts stung Shen Tian and his men like sharp needles to the heart.

They had just been taught a lesson by Gu Yan's men, and now they were on a hair-trigger, desperately needing an outlet to vent their frustrations.

The veins on Shen Tian's forehead bulged as he clenched his fists: "Very well, very well, brothers, get them! Let's teach these brats what it means to be a real thug!"

"Hehe, you got it!"

"Whatever you say, Brother Tian!"

The next second.

The group charged towards Leng Ling'er and her friends.

"You think we're afraid of you?"

"Sister Ling'er, let's get them!"

Leng Ling'er's group also rushed forward fearlessly.

However, the disparity in strength was not slight by any means.

In less than a moment, everyone except Leng Ling'er had been beaten to the ground.

"Sister Ling'er..."

"It's no use, we can't beat them."

"Damn it, if my brother were here, you'd all be dead!"

The girls pinned to the ground still shouted defiantly.

Hearing this, Shen Tian gnashed his teeth. Damn it all.

One after another, first his parents looked down on him, then Gu Yan looked down on him.

Now even these high school girls were looking down on him??

"Hold her down for me!"

Shen Tian gripped a beer bottle, pointing at the girl who had shouted the loudest.

He walked towards her, gritting his teeth and clutching the bottle.

"You! Stop right there!"

Leng Ling'er was also exhausted. Even though she had practiced Taekwondo, she couldn't fend off so many adults.

When she saw Shen Tian about to smash the beer bottle on her friend's head, Leng Ling'er desperately tried to rush over.

However,

Shen Tian's men also came forward, pinning Leng Ling'er to the ground. They laughed uproariously, saying, "Stay put, you little brat! Watch closely how Brother Tian smashes your friend's head open!"

"This is the price you pay for your arrogance!"

Little Wei watched in terror, biting her lip hard as she rushed in front of Shen Tian: "Wait! You! You can't hurt my friend!"

"Little Wei! Get out of the way! Let's see if they dare to hit her, I'll have my brother kill them all!"

"Haha, get lost! Right now I just want to teach this most despicable woman a lesson!"

Shen Tian shoved Little Wei aside, then raised the beer bottle to smash it down on the girl's head.

"Qionglan!!"

Leng Ling'er struggled desperately, but to no avail. She could only watch as the beer bottle got closer and closer to Bai Qionglan's head.

However...

Before Shen Tian could fully bring the bottle down,

The next second,

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

"Hey."

A voice suppressing fury reached Shen Tian's ears.
