The man who walked out of the stairs was not very burly, and he was even a little thin, but his steps were steady. Yang Ning only took a look and knew that this man's martial arts skills were not weak.

The man was forty-five or six years old, wearing a black cotton robe and a fox fur hat, standing at the entrance of the stairs, glanced at the high-nose man who was lying on the ground and did not dare to move when he saw the visitor, he had already gotten up and greeted him, "General's head, this kid is trying to hit someone..."

"Bang!"

Before the high-nose man could finish his words, he had already slapped heavily on his face. The slap was extremely powerful. In just an instant, half of the face of the high-nose man swollen.

"The head of the chief...!" The tall man was a little shocked, and he didn't seem to understand why he slapped him.

The middle-aged man said coldly: "I asked you to invite Pearl Girl, how did you do it? Since there are guests here, you should discuss it carefully, why should you offend it?"

"The chief escort leader...!"

"Stop!" The middle-aged man scolded sternly, "Can I still not know what you do? It must be that he was rude and arrogant here that he would be taught a lesson. Master Yuan is here, he is a well-educated person, and birds of a feather flock together. Of course, his friends are also very reasonable people. If you hadn't done anything wrong, how could they take action?"

The man with a high nose lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

The middle-aged man then strode forward and smiled, "Mr. Yuan, these incompetent things have disturbed your Yaxing. I apologize to you here." He raised his hand and a wallet had been thrown to Yuan Rong. "This is a little bit of ambition. There are countless girls on the Qinhuai River. This little money is enough for you tonight's expenses."

Yuan Rong frowned and said, "Mr. Ding, what do you mean?"

The middle-aged man was Ding Yitu, the chief escort of the Xuri Escort Agency, and smiled and said, "I took over a few unhelpful things and caused trouble for both of them, so I think this is a plea. Moreover, Ding has a friend who came from afar today. He has not come to the capital. This time he came here, and he was just about to meet the choice of Huahou tonight. My friend likes to listen to the piano music. I heard that Pearl Girl has good piano skills, so I want to invite Pearl Girl to play the previous song."

Yang Ning glanced at Zhenzhu and saw that Zhenzhu lowered his head and his delicate body trembled slightly. He didn't dare to look at Ding Yitu, and even was full of deep fear of Ding Yitu.

Yuan Rong frowned and said, "But I am here today, and I want to listen to the Pearl Girl playing the piano."

Ding Yitu smiled and said, "Young Master Yuan has a family of scholars and good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is natural to be wrong to appreciate the piano skills of Pearl Girl. Moreover, Young Master Yuan boarded the Pearl Girl's ship earlier than me. Ding shouldn't have taken anyone's love, but my friend can't stay in the capital for a few days and can only leave tonight, so..." He took a step forward with a sincere expression, "Young Master Yuan also asked Ding to give her some face and let Pearl Girl go there. Tonight, Mr. Yuan and this friend's expenses will be borne by Ding. If Mr. Yuan can give Ding this face, he will thank him again."

Yuan Rong hesitated slightly and glanced at Yang Ning. He saw Yang Ning holding a wine glass, calm and composed, as if he had not been seen as Ding Yitu, and he did not even look at Ding Yitu.

"Miss Pearl, can you give Ding a face?" Ding Yitu looked at Pearl, who bowed his head and said nothing, "If you can go, you will definitely thank you very much."

Pearl finally raised her head, looked at Yuan Rong, and smiled bitterly: "Young Master Yuan, Pearl is rude, I can't serve you two tonight..."

Ding Yitu's mouth slightly appeared with an arc.

"Miss Pearl, go clean up first and dress up beautifully." Ding Yitu seemed to be sure that Pearl would leave with him, and instructed: "My friend is an extremely elegant person. Don't neglect. I'll let you wait for you below..." After saying that, he bowed to Yuan Rong and said, "Young Master Yuan, thank you again next day!" He turned around and left.

After only two steps, he heard a quiet voice behind him, "This is the head of the General Ding of the Rising Escort Agency, right?"

Ding Yitu paused, stopped, turned around, looked at Yang Ning, and saw Yang Ning shaking with a wine glass, very leisurely, and smiled and said, "Yes, Ding Yitu, the rising sun, hasn't asked you for your name yet!"

He obviously didn't know Yang Ning, but since he was with Yuan Rong, he was naturally not an ordinary person.

"It doesn't matter who I am." Yang Ning said lightly: "I asked someone to come to you, not to ask you to take Pearl Girl away, but to ask you to come and apologize. Your attitude is pretty good and you also take the initiative to admit your mistakes, so I will not blame you. You can take your subordinates away. Remember to go back and educate more, so that you will not have to bother others to help you discipline next time."

Ding Yitu frowned slightly, but his tone was quite gentle: "This young master said yes." After a pause, he said: "But you have seen Miss Pearl's attitude, and she seems to be willing to leave with me."

"I'm sorry, let alone whether Pearl Girl is really willing to go with you, even if she really wants, you're afraid you can't take anyone away." Yang Ning reached out and picked up a piece of pastry and said leisurely: "I want to listen to Pearl Girl playing the piano, so you can leave now."

Ding Yitu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Is this young master joking?"

"Look at me, are you joking with you?" Yang Ning suddenly turned his head and looked at Ding Yitu with a sharp look, "I don't have time to talk to you." He turned to Pearl and smiled, "Miss Pearl, you can start."

Pearl frowned slightly, and stood there, but didn't know what to do for a moment.

Ding Yitu's face turned slightly cold and said lightly: "I said that I will thank you again next day, and I will cover all the expenses for you tonight. There are so many girls on the Qinhuai River, you can choose whatever you want."

"There is only one pearl on the Qinhuai River." Yang Ning said: "Since there are so many girls on the Qinhuai River, you can also choose as you wish, and don't disturb my interest here."

Ding Yitu suddenly burst into laughter and asked, "What if I have to take her away?"

Yang Ning also smiled and said, "Your subordinates said the same thing just now, but you have seen their fate."

"Are you threatening me?" Ding Yitu smiled and said, "Do you think Ding will be threatened? I admire your courage very much, but it is not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant."

"Are you still a young man if you are not angry?" Yang Ning also smiled and said, "You said you have guests, what does this have to do with us? You said that you would give you face, and your face is really that great. If I don't give it to you, what will happen to you?"

Ding Yitu's eyes twitched slightly, turned to Yuan Rong, and said lightly: "Young Master Yuan, I gave you face. What do you think of this matter?"

Yuan Rong sat down, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Mr. Ding, I may be able to persuade others, but this person's temper is too strange. No matter what he wants to do, I can persuade him."

Ding Yitu looked at Yang Ning carefully and frowned slightly. Yuan Rong thought he was about to have an attack, but he saw Ding Yitu just bowed his hand, but he turned around and left without saying a word. The two of his men followed.

Yuan Rong was a little surprised and said softly: "This doesn't look like Ding Yitu's temper."

Yang Ning seemed to have a little surprise and chuckled: "He is smarter than you think and he is more at ease..." But he knew in his heart that Ding Yitu was also a reckless and brave man, this person was quite scheming and not a simple character.

Pearl sighed and sat down next to her.

"You seem to be afraid of him." Yang Ning asked, "Why are you so afraid? He has hurt you?"

Pearl hesitated for a moment before reluctantly laughing: "Mr. Marquis is drinking. When you arrive at Qinhuai River, you can be happy. Actually, you don't have to pay attention to the others."

Yuan Rong also looked at Zhenzhu and frowned and asked, "Zezhu, have you hidden something from me?"

"No...no!" Pearl's eyes flashed and she lowered her head: "Young master, don't ask more questions."

Yang Ning sighed: "You were already scared before you saw him. After seeing Ding Yitu, you didn't even dare to look at him. Of course, it was not because he was the head of the Rising Escort Agency. There were naturally other reasons behind it. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it."

"Pearl, Master Xue told me to take care of you more, but in the past two years I...!" Yuan Rong looked sad, "Although I promised him, I didn't do it. I always wanted to help you, but...!" He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and looked helpless.

A hint of gratitude appeared in Pearl's eyes, and she said, "Young Master, you have taken care of a lot of things, Pearl is so grateful."

"I know you must have suffered a lot in the past two years, but you have never taken the initiative to make any requests to me." Yuan Rong sighed: "I know your feelings and you don't want to touch me too much, but if you really have something to hide and need my help, you must tell me no matter what." His voice turned cold: "Tell me, what happened?"

Pearl's delicate body trembled, but his eyes turned red. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gently pulled up his sleeves. Her skin was very white, and her wrists were as crystal clear as jade, but when the sleeves rolled up, several scars appeared on the originally snow-white skin, crisscrossing and shocking.

Yuan Rong's face changed drastically, and Yang Ning also frowned.

"This...what is going on?" Yuan Rong stood up suddenly, "Where did the scars come from your hands?"

Pearl smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just on my arms, but there are more scars on my body than this. I can't look down on anything where I can see people, and I can't stand the things where I can't stand it, all the scars."

A cold light flashed in Yang Ning's eyes and asked, "Are you all the scars hurt by Ding Yitu? Is this the real reason why you are afraid of him?"

"Tell me what happened." Yuan Rong was an extremely gentle and elegant person on weekdays, but at this time he was already furious and had a ferocious expression.
