Chapter 424
As soon as I walked in, the music was so loud it made my head spin. I started looking for Lauren in the crowd.
After searching for a while and not finding her, I got super anxious and kept calling her phone. I didn't know how long it took, but she finally picked up, and I heard her voice, all breathy and shaky.
I knew that voice too well; my head felt like it was going to explode. "Where are you?"
Lauren replied, "I'm in the bathroom!"
I rushed to the bathroom. She definitely wouldn't be in the men's room, so I headed to the women's. Just as I got to the door, I heard some unpleasant sounds coming from inside.
My heart sank. I knocked on each door. "Lauren, Lauren!"
First door, not her! Second door, not her either! Third door, two people were having sex!
I was freaking out, really scared that if I opened the door, Lauren would be with some stranger. I couldn’t figure out why she would come to the bar.
My emotions were all over the place. Finally, I found Lauren in the last stall. Her clothes were a mess, her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot. It was clear she had taken something she shouldn't have. "John, you finally came!"
"Lauren, what happened to you?" Before I could finish speaking, Lauren clung to me. I quickly closed the door. "What the hell is going on?"
Lauren just said, "John." I sighed, knowing that today it would be hard to avoid having sex with her.
The blasting music and breathy sounds echoed, making the couple next door even more excited.
I had never been this wild before, nor had I seen such a wild Lauren! I didn't feel any pleasure, just wanted Lauren to recover quickly.
Soon, we started having sex. I didn't know how long it lasted, but Lauren finally regained her senses. "John!" Her legs went weak, and she almost fell forward.
I quickly caught her. "Lauren, it's okay, it's me!"
She panted, "You came! Thank goodness you came!"
"What exactly happened?"
Lauren said, "I came to collect a debt, but someone drugged me, so I escaped to the women's bathroom! Don't worry, he didn't succeed!"
My anger flared up. "Is it your previous debt?"
She nodded weakly, "Yes! I'm so tired, take me home!"
I helped her get dressed. Luckily, she wasn't harmed, and I arrived just in time. But I wouldn't let that person get away with it!
I carried the exhausted Lauren on my back. Just as we walked out of the bathroom, two people approached. "So here you are! Boss, we found her, but this guy got to her first."
A middle-aged man in a suit walked over, looking displeased, and started cursing, "How dare you steal from me! You’re going to regret this!"
I glared at him. "Get lost! Or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"So arrogant." The man sneered and signaled his men to charge at me. Just then, hurried footsteps sounded, and a group of people rushed in from outside.
"Touch him, and you won't see the light of day tomorrow!" Patrick jogged over, followed by dozens of people.
The man and his men were instantly terrified. I looked at Patrick and said, "Patrick, thank you!"
"We're friends, no need for thanks." I had called Patrick before coming, and he arrived just in time.
"This bastard drugged Lauren, I want him to suffer!" Hearing my words, Patrick waved his hand, and a group of people immediately rushed over and started beating him up.
The man's screams were heart-wrenching. When they finally stopped, he was half-dead.
"Send him to the hospital, find out everything about him, I want him ruined!" With that, I carried Lauren out of the bar. "Patrick, I'm taking Lauren to the hospital for a check-up!"
Patrick said, "I'll send someone to take you."
"No need, I drove here!" I was worried about the side effects of the drug on Lauren, so I rushed her to the hospital overnight. After a bunch of tests and an IV drip, I stayed by her side until dawn.
Early the next morning, I got a call from Marry. "How are you? Everything okay?"
"Yeah, it's all good now," I said, rubbing my eyes and hanging up. Just then, Lauren woke up too.
She looked a bit out of it at first, but then she remembered what happened last night. "John, thank you!"
I held her hand and smiled. "I'm your guy, of course, I had to come save you."
"You don't know how scared I was!"
"It's okay now!" I patted her hand. "Why didn't you tell me you were collecting a debt? I could've gone with you."
Lauren gave a bitter smile. "He's an old client of mine. We've known each other for years. He had been pursuing me, but he's not my type."
"So when he couldn't win you over, he resorted to such low tactics?"
"Don't be mad, I'll be more careful next time."
"A guy invites you to a bar, you should've seen it coming." I sighed and decided not to push it further. After all, she hadn't been seriously harmed. "How much does he owe you?"
"About three hundred thousand dollars."
I said fiercely, "Alright, I'll get that money back for you! If he dares not to pay, I'll make him regret it!"
"Don't do anything rash." She grabbed my hand. "It's okay if I don't get the three hundred thousand dollars."
"Leave it to me, don't worry about it." Anyone who messed with my girl would pay the price.
Lauren smiled and said, "You're really something."
I said irritably, "I'm still very angry about this. When you feel better, see how I punish you!"
Lauren said innocently, "At worst, I'll get pregnant!"
Her words made me very happy. If it weren't for the fear of the doctor making rounds, I would've wanted to have sex with her right then.
After about ten minutes, the doctor came to check on her. After confirming through blood tests that there were no issues, Lauren was discharged in the morning.
I said, "Don't go to the office today, rest up, and let your assistant handle the work."
Lauren asked, "Aren't you going to the office?"
"I have something to do!" After sending Lauren home, I went to a large warehouse in the suburbs.
Patrick saw me as I entered the warehouse. "You’re here! This bastard spilled everything!"
"Thanks, Patrick!"
Patrick patted my shoulder. "No need for such formalities between us!"
I nodded silently, remembering this favor.
The three men, after some simple bandaging, knelt there, each with a bruised and swollen face, looking very miserable. Seeing me, the leader kept kowtowing, "I'm sorry, I was foolish to dare touch Lauren. I was wrong, I'll compensate you however you want, just don't kill me."
I thought, 'Dealing with a person like that is beneath me. And I'm not a heinous criminal; I wouldn't kill someone.'
I asked, "Caleb Flores, right?"
He replied, "Yes!"
"How much do you owe Lauren?"
"Three hundred thousand dollars!"
"How much?" I looked at him furiously.
"No, I remembered wrong, it should be five hundred thousand dollars. No, it's a million dollars, I remember now, it's a million dollars!"
I gave a signal, and someone immediately brought the agreement over. Caleb was already scared out of his wits and hurriedly signed it.
I asked, "Are you going to transfer the money or pay in cash?"
"Transfer, I'll transfer it right away!" Saying that, he transferred a million dollars to me on the spot.
I kicked him in the face. "If you dare show up in front of Lauren again, it won't be just a beating!"
His nose bled, but he didn't dare wipe it. Instead, he kept kowtowing. "Okay, I understand, I'll disappear from Lauren's life forever!"
