The issue today is not just Jiang Xuelan instigating Yang Dayong to cause trouble, but more so the problem with this KTV.

KTVs that operate normally, they all have some connections, whether with the police or the underworld. How else would they handle troublemakers?

You can't really call the police every time, because the ones who cause trouble here are either drunk or have connections. Who in their right mind would cause trouble for no reason?

Even a decade ago, places like this would have people watching over, fearing others would cause trouble. Although security is better now, if there's trouble in their own place, how could they not know?

But at the end, even after both sides started fighting, no one came out to stop it. If it were a small shop with just a few people, that'd be understandable, but this KTV isn't small.

At worst, someone would call the police when there's trouble, right? But even such a simple task wasn't done. It's obviously suspicious. Besides, just as things were about to end, you showed up, who are you fooling?

Seeing that Su Qing wasn't buying it, the man was a bit flustered for a moment, then subconsciously glanced in Yang Dayong's direction.

[The KTV owner knows Yang Dayong. They deliberately didn't show up until hearing that the police had been alarmed, not wanting to escalate the situation.]

That glance basically explained the situation clearly. Su Qing took a deep breath. He knew it wasn't that simple.

"What do you mean, brother? We're all here to have fun, to be happy. If you're really not going to give us face, then we'll just call the police," Zhang Sheng retorted forcefully, very tough.

He indeed knows Yang Dayong. After all, people like Yang Dayong are regulars at KTVs, and being a ruffian, he's helped Zhang Sheng settle quite a few disputes over the years. They're at least drinking buddies.

Today, before Yang Dayong and the others even arrived, he called Zhang Sheng, saying they wanted to scare some students here. Zhang Sheng didn't think much of it.

After all, most of the people with Yang Dayong are young, mostly in their early twenties, high school or college age. It's not uncommon for them to get into arguments or fights with nearby students.

Plus, he believed with Yang Dayong's methods, scaring some students wouldn't take long. Naturally, he didn't care, but he didn't expect it to escalate into a brawl. The key issue was when he heard from the waitstaff that a female police officer had arrived, which made him take it seriously and quickly come to mediate.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped in, before Yang Dayong said anything, an unknown young man started cursing at him. If the police weren't around, he would've already taught the young man a lesson.

"Call the police? Sure, we have so many students who got beaten up here. By then, we'll say the KTV owner colluded with some goons to bully students, and then we'll contact these students' parents. We don't run a business, so we're not afraid of any bad influence. Also, don't tell me you two don't know each other."

Hearing the threat of calling the police, Su Qing laughed.

Hearing this, Li Zijun, on the side, glared and asked, "You two know each other? No wonder no one intervened for such a long time. Since that's the case, let's all take a trip to the police station. I'll have these students call their parents right now."

If it were just a conflict between students and some idle wastrels at the KTV, that would be the end of it. But if the KTV was involved, the nature of the situation changes. Not to mention, if something like this were confirmed, this KTV would definitely be affected.

Moreover, if the parents of this group of students came, it would be impossible to suppress the matter, and the KTV wouldn't be able to open for a few days.

Right now, during the graduation season, is exactly when KTVs are booming. At that point, the losses would be considerable.

"Don't falsely accuse us. Who knows each other? This has nothing to do with our KTV," Zhang Sheng panicked and quickly said.

No matter if he was responsible or not in the end, he just couldn't admit it.

"Don't know each other? A call from their phones should clarify, shouldn't it?" Su Qing replied calmly, without any expression, which made Zhang Sheng a bit anxious.

And Yang Dayong, on the side, was even more uneasy, as his situation was more serious.

"A phone is my personal property. Even the police don't have the right to look through it. If you really have evidence, just arrest me. Don't waste time with nonsense," Zhang Sheng, being the owner of a KTV and middle-aged, naturally wasn't frightened by this young man, Su Qing.

But he had long decided to switch phones at the first chance.

"Alright, once we're in the station, Zijun, you should have no problem checking their call records, right?" Su Qing turned and asked.

Hearing this, Li Zijun noticed something was off. She knew that her brother was quite adept in this area and replied, "No worries. All phones are real-name registered now. Our criminal investigation department has the right to investigate."

Listening to the two of them leading and responding, Zhang Sheng was a bit flustered. If things escalated and the students' parents were involved, no matter the outcome, his business would definitely suffer.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but soften his tone and said with a smile, "Brother, don't get so worked up. Even if we know each other, what does that prove?"

"You're guests, after all, you came to have fun, and now all this happened. Luckily, everyone's okay. How about this? I'll make up for your inconvenience; today's expenses are on the house. I'll also get you another private room, several boxes of drinks, and some fruit plates."

Zhang Sheng didn't want to escalate things. After all, he's in business, and it wouldn't be beneficial for him if things blew up. It's better to spend a little money to smooth things over.

In response, Su Qing coldly laughed, "Waiving the bill? Who's short of money? Besides, after what happened, do you think we're still in the mood to have fun?"

"Then, brother, what do you suggest we do?" Zhang Sheng asked.

Hearing this, Su Qing turned to look at Su He's classmates. The girls at the back seemed fine, but most of the boys present had some injuries, with bruises turning blue and purple.

"Our people got beaten up while having fun here. I don't care which one of you comes forward, but you can't expect us to take a beating for nothing. There are so many people. While they're not serious, you should cover the medical expenses, right? Not much, 20,000 yuan will do, averaging 2,000 per person."

He wasn't asking for much. If the parents of the students all showed up, it wouldn't be solved with just 20,000 yuan. After all, Su He had gotten hurt; he couldn't ignore it.

He felt it wasn't much, but someone thought it was a lot.

"What? 20,000!!"

"Brother, that's too much. It's robbery. Otherwise, go ahead and call the police. I didn't hit anyone, and I don't believe the cops would be unreasonable. At that time, this will be seen as group fighting. We don't care, but they just graduated. You better think it over," Zhang Sheng wasn't having it after hearing the demand for 20,000.

His relationship with Yang Dayong wasn't good enough to take a loss for him.

Hearing this, the students involved in the fight were also uncertain.

"Bro, let it go."

"Yeah, we're fine anyway."

"Bro~~"

Even Su He spoke up finally. She didn't want her classmates to end up at the police station because of her involvement.

In response, Su Qing took a deep breath and waved his hand to the group behind him, "Let's go!"

After saying that, they all got up in a rush and left the trouble spot. Seeing Su Qing being so sensible, Zhang Sheng let out a sigh of relief.

But he quickly stopped smiling when he saw Su Qing, after walking up to the second floor, suddenly stop in front of a private room and kick the door open.

"Su Qing, what are you doing?" The sudden movement caught Li Zijun by surprise.

With a loud bang, several young people inside, puffing smoke, looked dumbfounded. There were drink bottles with straws on the table, and the people inside had looks of enjoyment.

Su Qing then stepped aside, gesturing for Li Zijun to look inside. She was stunned. She came here because of Su He's call, not expecting this unexpected surprise.

"Sister Jun, time to work!"

"As if I need you to tell me? Don't move! Police! Raise your hands!"
