The woman yelped and threw Lu Zihao a frightened look. The other two women also stopped dancing and backed away from him. Realizing his actions, he immediately released the woman's hand.

"Get out!"

All three of them scrambled out of the private room buck naked as if their asses were on fire. He didn't give a fuck about them.

This was one of the reasons why he had no interest in forming an intimate relationship with a lover. Besides the trust issue, he hated the look of fear in the women he was interested in fucking who knew about how dangerous he was. It was only after experiencing the pleasure of sleeping with him would they stop showing such blatant fear on their faces. Although he was a violent and deadly man, he never assaulted the women he bedded unless they deliberately betrayed him and put him in danger from his enemies. 

He threw his glass of whiskey. It crashed against the wall and shattered into many pieces while the whiskey formed a dark puddle on the floor. His erection also began to soften after the women ran away, effectively killing any of his desire to fuck tonight. With a terrifying aura, he stood up and left the private room. 

The manager met him in the dark hallway. He bowed low while shaking in his shiny, leather shoes. "I'm very sorry about what happened with the girls, sir! P-please forgive me! I'll choose better ones next time! Please grant this humble servant a second chance!"

Lu Zihao swept him with his cold eyes. "Just manage my club properly."

"Y-yes, sir! Certainly, sir! Please leave everything to me!"

He nodded. "Out of my way. I'm leaving."

"Thank you for your mercy, sir! Please have a good night!"

Lu Zihao didn't reply, only waving a hand, as he strode away. He passed through the secret back door to avoid bumping into the crowd of bodies going in and out of the club. Without even checking, he knew that there would be a long line of people waiting by the front entrance outside in the hopes of being the next ones the bouncers would let inside.

His car was in the club's private underground parking lot. He was about to head towards it but changed his mind all of a sudden. He walked out of the parking lot instead until he reached the street.

Fighting and sex didn't work out in calming down the violent energy still raging restlessly inside him. Maybe taking a long walk might help. Hell, even if it took him the entire night, he would walk all the way from the club to Dragon Palace if it would help calm down his current irritating restlessness. Perhaps he might even get lucky and meet some prowling hooligans along the way that he could beat up and help ease his bloodlust even for just a little.

Nobody paid any attention to him as he walked in the streets. That was because he deliberately moved like a shadow, avoiding other people's sight. He also chose the mainly deserted areas. In addition to the late evening hour, even the police doing their nightly routine patrols failed to notice him. 

He had been walking for more than an hour when a familiar figure caught his attention. A woman came out of a convenience store carrying a paper bag in her arms. Two men who were smoking on the opposite side of the street had their eyes on her. Although her body was covered with a coat, they still looked like they were undressing her with their eyes. She didn't notice them but Lu Zihao did. His eyes narrowed as he walked forward.

The cold, late autumn wind made Long Jinjing shiver. She pulled up the collar of her coat while keeping a firm hold on the large paper bag in her other arm. If she hadn't ran out of toothpaste and most of her other toiletries, she would be all warm and comfy inside her own home right now. Who wanted to go out in the cold at this time of the night?

Her work schedule had been so busy recently that she didn't have any time to shop for essentials. She usually ordered them online but for some reason, she had completely forgotten to do that this month and her supplies at home finally ran out. It was a good thing that there was a convenience store a couple of blocks away from the condo building where she lived. She decided to go out and buy everything she needed tonight at the convenience store because she wouldn't have the time to do it tomorrow. 

Fortunately, skincare and bath products weren't a problem because she had free supply from Orchidia Beauty. Perks of being the company CFO.

She walked faster upon reaching an area where there were fewer streetlights. There were a handful people walking about but this wasn't a busy area compared to the city centre, so it was pretty much deserted.

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared beside her. She let out a short scream before hearing a familiar voice.

"It's me," the man said.

"Oh!" She clutched at her chest and felt her wildly beating heart. "Mr. Lu, you startled me!"

"Miss, are you alright?!" a young man with his buddy called from the other side of the street.

"Ah, yes!" Long Jinjing called back to them. "I'm fine. Thank you!"

"Are you sure?" the buddy asked next. "Do you know that man?"

"Yes! I know this man. I was startled just now. I'm really alright. Thank you for your concern!"

After being reassured, the two young men finally left. Long Jinjing breathed out a sigh of relief. Then she turned to Lu Zihao who was standing beside her. 

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?"

Instead of replying, he took the large paper bag from her.

"I can carry it myself," she protested.

"Lead the way. I'll walk you home," he said simply.

"You don't have to do this."

"It's not safe for a woman like you to walk alone at night," he told her.
