Chapter 8: Let Her Go

Chapter 8: Let Her Go

Ah! The big boss? Leng Xiyue widened her eyes in shock.

However, she quickly realized something - why the previous star performer had offended the big boss? It must be because this big boss was lecherous and wanted to take advantage.

Just as Leng Xiyue was about to reach the shore, Yang Tianba suddenly swam over and grabbed her mermaid tail.

"Come down here!" Yang Tianba held onto Leng Xiyue's tail, preventing her from moving.

Leng Xiyue struggled to break free, flailing about in the water.

"Yang Tianba!" Gong Xiyue shouted angrily, "Let her go!"

"Mr. Gong, what are you talking about? She's my employee," Yang Tianba not only refused to let go of Leng Xiyue but also said proudly, "If she doesn't listen to me, she needs to be taught a lesson. How I discipline my employees is nobody else's business!"

"You think it's none of my business?" Gong Xiyue, removing his tie and suit jacket with an authoritative demeanor, descended into the pool.

Despite the resistance of the water, he moved through it with ease, as if walking through the wind.

Yang Tianba, intimidated by Gong Xiyue's presence, involuntarily released his grip.

Leng Xiyue never expected Gong Xiyue to stand up for her. Was he playing the hero, or did he have other motives?

"Boom!" Gong Xiyue landed a punch on Yang Tianba's forehead.

The powerful impact sent Yang Tianba flying far, like a yacht gliding over water, creating an elegant spray of water.

Yang Tianba, a man who held sway in both the underworld and legitimate business, wasn't without his skills. Yet, he couldn't withstand a single punch from Gong Xiyue, a testament to Gong Xiyue's profound martial prowess.

The surrounding bodyguards hesitated to intervene, both awed by Gong Xiyue's martial skills and fearful of his high status.

Who doesn't know of Gong Xiyue's immense wealth and power? Only someone as reckless as Yang Tianba would dare confront him.

While Leng Xiyue was still in shock, Gong Xiyue swiftly swept her into his arms and elegantly swam to the shore.

Leng Xiyue let out a small cry, then dared not make any further sound. How could she challenge such a formidable man, especially after he had just rescued her?

Gong Xiyue placed Leng Xiyue on the shore, where his assistant, Chen Yue, immediately approached with a towel to dab at the water on his white shirt.

"No need to wipe, I'll go shower," said Gong Xiyue coldly, noticing Yang Tianba had reached the shore. He then ordered Chen Yue, "Within five minutes, I want this club under Gong Corporation's ownership."

"Understood," nodded Chen Yue.

"What did you say?" Yang Tianba, pointing at his nose and fuming, retorted, "I am the boss here. Are you ignoring my existence? No matter how rich you are, I refuse to sell it to you!"

Gong Xiyi stared coldly at Yang Tianba without saying a word, diminishing Yang's confidence by a notch.

Frustrated and with nowhere to vent, Yang pointed at his ten bodyguards and berated, "What are you all good for? Why didn't you protect me?"

The bodyguards, all looking towards Gong Xiyi for guidance, knew if Gong Xiyi took over the fitness club, they would be under his command unless he fired them.

Gong Xiyi glanced at the ten bodyguards and said leisurely, "Those who wish to keep their jobs, throw this pig out!"

Following his command, the bodyguards surrounded Yang Tianba, lifting him into the air in unison and marched towards the entrance with synchronized steps.

"Hey, what are you doing, you ungrateful wolves, believe it or not, I can have you all killed..."

"Please let me down, I beg you, let me down..."

Witnessing this scene, Leng Xiyue's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, marveling inwardly at the ease with which the wealthy and powerful could command actions.

Wang Li, fearing she would be dismissed, quickly pleaded, "Mr. Gong, may I stay? I really need this job..."

"Let her massage my feet!" Gong Xinyi said, pointing at Leng Xiyue to Wang Li, before he entered the bath hall.

The implication of Gong Xinyi's words was that as long as Wang Li could get Leng Xiyue to massage his feet, her job would be secure.
