chapter 9 my woman

Otto Yu sneered, "Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce was a dominant force in Zhonghai. Did he really need to give face to two women?"
"Who do you think you are, asking me to save you dignity? If she doesn't drink, will you?" Otto Yu coldly looked at Polly Li, asking indifferently.
Otto Yu's entourage also laughed, one by one looking mockingly at Polly Li and April Qiao.
In their view, these two women had become sitting ducks for Boss Yu.
Polly Li turned pale. She couldn't handle her alcohol. If she drank this bottle, she would likely have to be rushed to the hospital to have her stomach pumped.
Otto Yu said, "Ms. Qiao, I've given you a chance. It's up to you to seize it."
April Qiao hesitated, holding the bottle close to her lips.
"Can't drink..." Polly Li gritted her teeth, but she was firm.
Otto Yu, displeased, slapped Polly Li hard, sneering, "If you won't let her drink, then you will drink!"
Polly Li, delicate and precious, had never been treated this roughly.
But after the slap, she didn't dare utter a word. After all, the other party was from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, whom she couldn't afford to offend.
Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce was on par with Zhonghai's richest man, Bevis Wang, and the top corporation in Zhonghai, the Xiang Group.
April Qiao knew of Polly Li's tolerance for alcohol and hadn't anticipated that getting back the 20 million in debt would be this challenging. She resolutely said, "I'll drink. And you better not deny the 20 million debt, Mr. Yu!"
Having said this, April Qiao tilted the bottle and chugged the entire bottle of whiskey.
Otto Yu laughed loudly, "Good! Ms. Qiao is indeed straightforward!"
April Qiao, enduring the burning pain in her throat, consumed the entire bottle of whiskey.
As the alcohol took effect, she nearly collapsed, slurring to Otto Yu, "Mr. Yu, I've drunk the whiskey. You should return the 20 million debt to me now..."
"I'm too drunk now, I'll leave first..."
But Otto Yu grabbed April Qiao's wrist, saying, "I'll surely repay the money. After all, it's rare to see such a forthright heroine like Ms. Qiao!"
"However, I'm not done drinking. Isn't it a bit rude for you to leave so soon?"
April Qiao felt the world spinning. Polly Li was frantic. If things continued this way, April Qiao might end up in a dire situation with Otto Yu.
"Where is that good-for-nothing Baldwin Qi? April is in deep trouble!" Polly Li was anxiously stomping her feet but dared not provoke Otto Yu.
Otto Yu's boss was the president of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, Gene Zhao. How significant was Gene Zhao? He even went archery with Cheyenn Yu today. That shows how terrifying his background is.
April Qiao could barely stand, pleading, "Mr. Yu, please let me go home. I can't drink anymore."
Otto Yu chuckled, "One more cup. Just one more, and I'll let you go."
"Get lost!" April Qiao, unable to tolerate anymore, screamed, smashing the bottle against Otto Yu's head.
"Bang!"
Otto Yu stepped back from the pain, holding his head and groaning.
"You wretch!" Otto Yu, red-eyed with anger, kicked April Qiao, sending her flying.
Polly Li, seeing this, was horrified. She never expected April Qiao to be so daring, attacking Otto Yu with a bottle.
"It's over; April has caused big trouble!"
"Drink your own damn drink, can't you drink by yourself?" The door to the private room was kicked open, and Baldwin Qi stormed in, his voice icy.
April Qiao, who had been sent flying, landed right in front of Baldwin Qi. He swiftly moved forward, catching her as she leaned weakly into his arms.
Clutching the last bit of consciousness, April Qiao hazily glanced at the man holding her and then heavily closed her eyes.
Baldwin Qi, with a dark face, held April Qiao and in one step arrived in front of Otto Yu, raising his hand and instantly slapping him across the face!
"Smack!"
Otto Yu's body left the ground, spinning entirely in the air. After spinning around twice, he heavily fell to the ground.
Polly Li couldn't help but look at Baldwin Qi with a face full of shock. This insignificant prison guard, for April Qiao, dared to lay hands on someone from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce?!
Members of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce at the same table stood up immediately, without a word, one by one, they charged at Baldwin Qi.
Baldwin Qi's face was expressionless. With one arm around April Qiao and one hand protecting her safety, his legs kicked out like fluttering butterflies. Bang, bang, bang, in no time, people were lying on the ground, each holding their stomachs, hunched over as if they had turned into boiled shrimps.
"It's none of my business that you drink, but bullying my wife is questionable," Baldwin Qi said with a cold laugh, stepping on Otto Yu's head.
Otto Yu screamed in pain and roared, "Kid, you're in trouble. Do you know who you've offended?"
"We are from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce! My boss is Mr. Gene Zhao of the Black Dragon!"
Baldwin Qi, with a face full of disdain, indifferently said, "Since when did Gene Zhao's minions qualify to bully my woman?!"
Though he didn't have profound feelings for April Qiao yet, after all, they had just gotten their marriage certificate and were nominally husband and wife.
Hearing Baldwin Qi refer to Gene Zhao in such a manner, Polly Li's eyes went dark, and she almost fainted.
If Gene Zhao heard this, not to mention Baldwin Qi, perhaps the entire Qiao family would be destroyed because of it.
"Bring the debt you owe, or I'll kill you today," Baldwin Qi bent over, directly picked up Otto Yu, and casually threw him next to the dining table.
Polly Li was horrified, thinking Baldwin Qi must be crazy, beating someone up like this and still expecting to recover the twenty million debt?!
"You damn still want the debt? If you've touched me, your whole family will die!"
"I tell you, not only will you not get the debt, but you'll also have to kneel to me for three days and nights, begging for my forgiveness! Otherwise..."
Before Otto Yu could continue cursing, his head was abruptly pressed down by Baldwin Qi and violently smashed against the table, causing a large amount of blood to flow again, and he screamed in pain.
Otto Yu was thoroughly frightened, wailing, "Boss, stop hitting... I can't get this money."
"This payment requires Mr. Zhao's signature to be transferred from finance to repay the Qiao family."
"Even if you beat me to death now, I can't get it!"
Baldwin Qi frowned and said indifferently, "Fine, then have Gene Zhao prepare the money for me. I'll come and get it myself later!"
Otto Yu nodded repeatedly, but he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, you still want money? I'll gather people later and maim you!"
"Let's go, why are you still standing there for!" Baldwin Qi said to Polly Li, holding April Qiao and turning to leave.
Polly Li woke up as if from a dream, quickly followed Baldwin Qi, leaving this place of right and wrong. As for the trouble that might follow, that was no longer her concern.
"Baldwin Qi, are you damn suicidal, being so brutal, do you know the consequences?!" Polly Li, still in shock, followed him, scolding all the way.
Baldwin Qi didn't bother to talk, and after leaving the building, he directly handed April Qiao over to Polly Li, asking her to take her back to the Qiao's house, while he returned to the Ninquen Estate.
Early the next morning, Baldwin Qi drove this low-key car to visit the Qiao family.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw April Qiao lying on the couch with Egbert Zhang sitting beside her.
He heard Egbert Zhang reassure her gently, "April, it's all right now. You can rest assured and rest. I have already saved you."
