Chapter Index

    Evening.

    Floral Peak Villa Estate.

    “Long Er.”

    Xu Shaochen called out from outside.

    “Boss.”

    Long Er walked into the living room standing respectfully one meter in front of Xu Shaochen.

    “I have an assignment for you. Go to Yunzhou, Tai County, and check out a laboratory. Once there, contact Chen Dongqiu. I’ll inform him, and he will accompany you.”

    Xu Shaochen instructed Long Er. With the year-end approaching, he was quite busy and couldn’t personally go to Tai County.

    “Yes, Boss. I will leave first thing in the morning,” Long Er said.

    “Leave tonight. Here are your operational funds. The password is 445566.”

    Xu Shaochen tossed a bank card over after speaking.

    “Yes, Boss. Any other instructions?”

    Long Er caught the bank card.

    Xu Shaochen waved his hand to dismiss him.

    “Phew—”

    Watching Long Er leave, Xu Shaochen exhaled and slumped onto the sofa.

    Suddenly, he felt a soft, cool sensation at his temples.

    Xu Shaochen opened his eyes. It was Liu Ruxue.

    “Tired?”

    Liu Ruxue asked softly, gently applying pressure to massage him.

    “Not really. Thinking of you makes me less tired.”

    Xu Shaochen grabbed one of her hands, holding it in his palm, silky and smooth like jade.

    “Sweet talker, you’re good at flattering people.”

    Liu Ruxue playfully scolded, circling around the sofa to sit in his lap.

    “What are you doing, seducing me?”

    Xu Shaochen joked, placing a hand on her leg.

    Liu Ruxue turned back with a charming wink. “If you’re not afraid of hurting the baby, go ahead.”

    “Ah, no armor can defend against pregnancy.”

    Xu Shaochen sighed, his words dispelling all improper thoughts.

    “However, this Young Miss permits you to hug me to sleep tonight. Aren’t you going to thank me?”

    Liu Ruxue said coyly.

    “Let me make a call first.”

    Xu Shaochen said before calling Chen Dongqiu, explaining everything and instructing him to accompany Long Er to Tai County.

    After hanging up, he went upstairs with Liu Ruxue.

    ……………….

    Xu Shaochen embraced Liu Ruxue as they slept.

    However, in Yunzhou, Chen Dongqiu couldn’t sleep.

    After receiving Xu Shaochen’s call, he felt uneasy.

    Originally, Xu Shaochen had tasked him with extracting the laboratory’s location from Wang Zhanhang.

    But now, Xu Shaochen already knew the general area, while he had made no progress. It made him feel he had lost face in Xu Shaochen’s eyes, betraying his trust.

    “Didn’t expect it. A pretty face, but a stubborn mouth.”

    Chen Dongqiu looked down at Wang Zhanhang, eyes full of violence.

    After a day of interrogation, he failed to extract any useful information from Wang Zhanhang, losing his patience.

    “Go ahead… kill me. If I die, Tianqing won’t spare you. Unless you… stick with him every day. Otherwise, Xu… Xu Shaochen can’t protect you.”

    Wang Zhanhang looked at Chen Dongqiu with a mocking gaze, weakly speaking.

    “Bang!”

    Chen Dongqiu kicked hard. “You’re already in dire straits and still worrying about my safety? Should I thank you?”

    “Heh… hehe…”

    Wang Zhanhang’s mocking gaze intensified as blood trickled from his mouth.

    Wang Zhanhang’s mocking gaze further enraged Chen Dongqiu. Just as he was about to act, he suddenly thought of something, a sinister smile appearing.

    “Wang Zhanhang, I just thought of something fun. If you can endure this, I’ll release you.”

    “What are you planning?” Wang Zhanhang’s heart leaped to his throat. Previous beatings and tortures didn’t scare him, but Chen Dongqiu’s smile sent chills down his spine.

    “Nothing much. Watching old movies gave me ideas to try some scenes out.”

    With those words, Chen Dongqiu gestured, and a bodyguard approached.

    Chen Dongqiu whispered instructions, then the bodyguard left.

    “Clean him up.”

    Chen Dongqiu ordered.

    “Chen Dongqiu, what are you doing?! What are you doing?!”

    The unknown is always terrifying. Wang Zhanhang was exactly in that situation.

    More than twenty minutes later.

    Wang Zhanhang, covered in blood before, was now refreshed, though some bruises remained. It did not affect his looks.

    “Chen Dongqiu, what exactly are you planning?”

    Wang Zhanhang asked.

    “No rush. You’ll find out soon enough.”

    Chen Dongqiu smiled slightly.

    Moments later, the bodyguard returned with two tall burly men.

    “Boss, they’re well-known in the circle,”

    The bodyguard pointed at both, introducing them to Chen Dongqiu.

    “He’s all yours,”

    Chen Dongqiu pointed at Wang Zhanhang, instructing the two burly men.

    “Thanks, Boss. Rest assured, we’ll take good care of him,”

    The two men exchanged glances, looking at Wang Zhanhang with fiery eyes as if ready to devour him.

    “Chen Dongqiu, what the hell are you planning!”

    The look from the two men made Wang Zhanhang’s scalp tingle, panic surging within.

    “Young Master Wang, you’ve come all the way to Yunzhou. As your host, I must treat you well. These two are top-notch in their field. Enjoy,”

    Chen Dongqiu left with a teasing comment, leaving behind Wang Zhanhang.

    “Damn you, Chen Dongqiu! Come back! Come back!”

    Wang Zhanhang was horrified. Already weakened by torture, he stood no chance against the two burly men.

    Outside the villa, Chen Dongqiu puffed on a cigarette, wondering how long Wang Zhanhang could endure.

    “Get away! Get away, don’t come near me! Damn you, I’ll kill you!”

    “Let go of me! Don’t pull my pants! Let go! Damn you!”

    Wang Zhanhang’s shouts echoed through the night, startling countless insects.

    “Chen Dongqiu! I’ve had enough! I’ve had enough! I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Make these two leave!”

    Wang Zhanhang couldn’t hold on, as the two perverts were too strong, nearly endangering him.

    Chen Dongqiu chuckled, reentered the villa with bodyguards, stopping the two men from pulling Wang Zhanhang’s pants with a look.

    “Young Master Wang, not so tough after all. You couldn’t hold out even halfway through my cigarette. I guess I overestimated you.”

    Chen Dongqiu crouched in front of Wang Zhanhang, speaking calmly.

    “You’re ruthless!”

    Wang Zhanhang cursed through gritted teeth, tears at his eyes, wishing to tear Chen Dongqiu apart.

    The previously unyielding man from torture was now scared to tears.

    Seems tough guys fear this trick the most!
