"Wen Ru, what you're doing is against the law," said the woman who had brought Quan Yifei and the others in earlier.
"Shut up," Wen Ru snapped with a malicious glare, "If you don't want to end up like them, you better stay out of it."
Not everyone present was from a privileged background. Aside from Zhan Mingyan and Quan Yifei who had the most influential backgrounds, Wen Ru was next in line, giving her an intimidating hold over those alarmed by her family's influence.
After all, it was in their best interest to remain neutral at this time and avoid offending one party by helping another.
"Mingyan, let's get out of here."
Quan Yifei realized the danger and attempted to make a quick escape with Zhan Mingyan.
"Stay where you are!"
Wen Ru quickly blocked them and locked the door.
Zhan Mingyan braced herself against the wall and grabbed a bottle of wine from the table, using it as a shield.
"Wen Ru, if you dare touch us, I swear I won't let you go."
