It also attracted the attention of Calvin, who yelled to his friends, "Quick, let's go downstairs and help them!" He then hurried down the stairs.

All of them subconsciously looked at the person who had done this. The man was tall and well-dressed, exuding arrogance and authority. "Who the hell is this man?" Having been embarrassed twice, the beer- bellied man was seeing red. In a fit of rage, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Get them! Tie up the woman and beat that man to death!" His companions immediately leaped into action. However, before they could do anything, their cries of agony filled the air.
Sage wondered if she was dreaming as she watched lan's fierce attacks. What was he doing here? He was a skilled fighter. His punches were sharp, and his kicks were swift. But wasn't he the lofty CEO of Holcomb Corporation, who was solely focused on making money? How could he be so skilled at fighting? When Calvin and his friends arrived downstairs, the men had already backed off. They were clearly no match for lan.
Sage relaxed a little once they had backed off. Even though she wasn't sure who they were, she knew lan would be alright no matter what. "How dare you harass my friend's wife? I'll give you a piece of my mind!" Calvin was about to kick the beer-bellied man, who was still on the ground, when one of his henchmen pushed Calvin. The sudden force caused him to stumble sideways and hit his forehead on the coffee table.
“I'm bleeding!" Calvin touched his forehead and passed out as soon as he saw the blood on his hands.
Tiana, being a nurse, instinctively went over to stop his bleeding. Sage also wanted to help Tiana, but her steps were unsteady due to how much she had drunk. She almost stumbled and fell, but lan steadied her.

Sage was fuming. “I can walk just fine!" The beer-bellied man had a crazed look in his eyes, which went unnoticed by the couple who were locked in a tense standoff. The man grabbed a nearby bottle and swung it at lan's head amidst the chaos. His movements were swift and ruthless. Sage only realized that he was attacking lan when the bottle was about to hit lan's head.
"Watch out!" Her reflexes took over, and without hesitation, she pushed lan away.
However, lan had also noticed the imminent attack. He forcefully pulled Sage into his arms. Even though he had reacted quickly, the bottle still struck Sage's shoulder.
"Ouch!" She winced in pain and swayed slightly.
"Sage!" lan kicked the beer-bellied man away and looked at her. "Are you okay?" His urgent voice echoed in her ears. Sage wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the pain, but she felt dizzy and couldn't open her eyes. In a haze, she felt herself being lifted by lan, who then ran out of the bar. Faintly, she heard Tiana's voice, the pitiful cries of the beer-bellied man, and various screams...
Sage woke up to find herself lying in a ward.
