Chapter 75

075

The box of glutinous rice balls had already been opened, and Lin Ruoxi took out a white, powdery ball, holding it with her thumbs and index fingers. She was taking small bites, looking as adorable as a little white rabbit nibbling on a carrot.

Seeing Yang Chen enter the room, Lin Ruoxi's cheeks turned red. With the ball still in her mouth, she blinked her eyes and said softly and indistinctly, "I thought you had left..."

"I couldn't bear to leave, or I wouldn't have seen my dear wife eating glutinous rice balls in such an adorable way," Yang Chen said with a playful smile.

Lin Ruoxi's face turned even redder, but she didn't want to put down the half-eaten rice ball. She simply ignored Yang Chen and continued to savor it.

In fact, the ice queen had a very cute side. Previously, it was discovered that she liked watching Korean romantic dramas, and now it was found that she enjoyed eating sticky rice balls, with a rather childish eating style. Perhaps beneath her cold exterior, Lin Ruoxi had a more youthful heart than other women her age.

After leaving the ward, Yang Chen thought for a moment and called Qiang Wei. He hadn't been in touch with this alluring woman for several days, partly due to unexpected events and partly because he knew Qiang Wei had been busy recently. Now that things had settled down, he began to miss the transparent-minded woman.

The phone rang three times before it was answered. Qiang Wei's voice was still seductive, "Honey, you finally remembered to call me?" Her words carried a hint of coquetry and resentment.

"I've been busy, and I knew you were busy too," Yang Chen's heart warmed up upon hearing her voice, and he smiled, "Are you at home? I'll come see you tonight."

"You only come at night, can't you come during the day?"

"Uh... I work during the day, but I'll come see you during the day next weekend," Yang Chen promised.

"Ha ha..." Qiang Wei laughed happily, "I'm not at home, but if you're willing, you can come to the Canidi Nightclub in the southern part of the city. If you're lucky, there might be a good show."

Although Yang Chen didn't know what Qiang Wei meant by "a good show," he still agreed and quickly drove to the Canidi Nightclub in the southern part of the city.

In fact, this nightclub was quite famous in the western district, but due to a lack of renovation over the years, its business had gradually declined. The security measures were also lacking, making it one of the more chaotic nightclubs.

But that wasn't important. What was important was that the nightclub was located at the boundary between the Western Alliance and the Red Thorn Gang, two major gangs in the western district. Since it was currently under the control of the Western Alliance, the reason for Qiang Wei's presence there was only one—territory grab.

When Yang Chen arrived at the entrance of the Canidi Nightclub, he was taken aback. From the front of the nightclub, Qiang Wei's familiar figure was leading a large group of men dressed in black.

Next to Qiang Wei was a middle-aged man in a white suit, speaking to her with a somewhat fawning tone. Qiang Wei's expression was indifferent, and she occasionally nodded. She walked to the parking lot, and upon seeing Yang Chen, she said something to the man and then walked over to Yang Chen alone.

Wearing a well-tailored black dress and white tight-fitting flared pants, Qiang Wei, with her long hair unusually tied up, looked like a graceful black rose in the night.

"Where's the good show?" Yang Chen asked.

Qiang Wei's smile was like a blooming flower, and she seemed to be in a good mood. Without answering, she walked up, spread her arms, and wrapped them around Yang Chen's neck, pressing her red lips tightly against his.

Yang Chen naturally didn't refuse the sweet greeting from the beauty. He kissed the fresh, tender petals and skillfully extended his tongue to entwine with Qiang Wei's, savoring the sweet saliva that flowed between them.

Only when the woman in his arms was breathing heavily did Yang Chen slowly release her, giving her a light kiss on the forehead.

"Is the good show you mentioned just this wet kiss?" Yang Chen caressed Qiang Wei's smooth face and asked with a smile.

"Do you not like it?"

"It's just different from what I expected. I thought there would be a big scene," Yang Chen said honestly.

Qiang Wei winked playfully, "Honey, you're late. The big scene ended ten minutes ago."

"Then why did you call me to come?" Yang Chen opened his eyes wide.

Qiang Wei's innocent eyes showed a hint of委屈 (grievance), "I wanted you to drive me home. You've never picked me up before."

The idea of a gang leader pouting like a little girl and asking her boyfriend to drive her home seemed quite ironic to Yang Chen, but he also felt a bit ashamed for not fulfilling Qiang Wei's small wish.

"Alright, don't make that face. Get in the car, and we'll talk on the way," Yang Chen patted Qiang Wei's elastic and plump buttocks and said with a smile.

Qiang Wei immediately gave Yang Chen a soft punch, blushing, "Don't do that, my subordinates are still watching. Don't touch my butt in front of them!"

"Pfft, what's the big deal," Yang Chen shrugged, "I touch my woman's butt, what's it to them? If anyone doesn't like it, I'll kill them."

"You're just talking nonsense," Qiang Wei felt flattered by Yang Chen calling her "my woman," but she still gave him a playful glare and quickly got into the car.

On the way back to the bar, the road was almost empty, with only a few small night stalls scattered in some open areas. The road was flanked by dark, dense trees.

Yang Chen wasn't in a hurry, and he drove while chatting with Qiang Wei.

Qiang Wei narrated the events at the Canidi Nightclub, "The man in white who was talking to me earlier is the manager of Canidi. Because the Western Alliance has invested too little in the nightclub, they are already in financial trouble. So, he contacted me two days ago, hoping to join our Red Thorn Gang. I asked him to hand over two main subordinates of the Western Alliance in his area, one called Four-Eyed Wolf and the other called Flower Carving. If he handed them over to me, I would trust him and invest in renovating Canidi, while also providing security for the place."

"Did he agree?"

"He had no choice. The person in charge of the Western Alliance's investment in the nightclub was none other than the Chen Dehai you killed. Now, his position is taken by Zhang Hu. After I gave Zhang Hu instructions, he selectively ignored some people and invested in others I secretly arranged for him. Naturally, Canidi couldn't survive."

Yang Chen praised, "This move is practical. On the surface, the Western Alliance's territory hasn't shrunk, but in reality, by the time they realize it, they will have lost much more than they gained. It's probably too late for them."

"Unfortunately, only Flower Carving was caught, and Four-Eyed Wolf escaped, taking some money with him. But at least we secured this piece of territory without much bloodshed. A small mistake is nothing to worry about," Qiang Wei said, looking at Yang Chen.

"Who knows," Yang Chen suddenly smiled mysteriously, "It might end up being a perfect ending."

"What do you mean?"

Qiang Wei was puzzled, and the car suddenly came to a screeching halt on the side of the road.

"Look ahead," Yang Chen pointed to the front of the car.

In the middle of the road ahead were two Ford pickup trucks. These four-wheel-drive trucks had been modified, with particularly high ground clearance and loud exhaust pipes. The xenon headlights shone directly at them, making the road as bright as daylight.

"It's Four-Eyed Wolf, he's back," Qiang Wei recognized the figure in front.

It was a lean man with glasses, his hair standing up high, wearing a white sleeveless shirt that exposed his scrawny muscles. Around him stood seven or eight burly men, all of whom looked to him as their leader.

"Four-Eyed Wolf isn't good at fighting, but he's smart. It seems he had someone watching the situation at Canidi. When he saw me returning alone with you, he decided to take advantage of the situation and try to bully me, a weak woman..." Qiang Wei analyzed calmly.

Yang Chen asked curiously, "He doesn't know your skills?"

"He's not in a high enough position in the Western Alliance to know, so he thinks these people can stop me and then he can turn the tide," Qiang Wei sneered.

"He's 'innocent,' but not cute," Yang Chen commented.

Suddenly, Qiang Wei let out a soft moan and pounced into Yang Chen's arms from the passenger seat, cooing, "Honey, I'm scared. You have to protect me..."

Hearing her sultry "I'm scared," Yang Chen's blood rushed to his head. He slapped her plump, firm buttocks and laughed, "Don't tease me. If you keep this up, I'll take you right here in the car before we get home!"

"Okay, but honey, look, they seem to be coming to smash our car," Qiang Wei said indignantly.

Yang Chen sighed. This woman was becoming more and more like a seductress, and he was also getting more and more addicted to her. Perhaps it was genuine affection that made him increasingly unable to resist her.

"Alright, alright, get up. I'll go deal with them. I don't want my car to be damaged; I can't afford to fix it."

Four-Eyed Wolf's supposedly brilliant counterattack was completely ineffective. The result was that all eight of them, including himself, were beaten to the ground and rendered immobile within a short time. The two pickup trucks used for their escape were also seized by the Red Thorn Gang. As for the money they planned to take, it was even more out of the question.

Four-Eyed Wolf didn't understand until he was put into a sack and transported away by the Red Thorn Gang. There was no one like this man in the Red Thorn Gang, and no one in the entire Zhonghai City had heard of such a capable fighter.

Four-Eyed Wolf felt very wronged. He hoped it was a ring match, where he could win two out of three rounds, because he had a hidden 54-type pistol in his pocket that he never got a chance to use...

Unfortunately, the fate of the eight men was sealed the moment they fell. They were thrown into sacks, tied with lead weights, and sunk into the sea.

This potentially fatal incident did not affect the young couple's mood. After Qiang Wei called Xiao Zhao to handle the aftermath, she and Yang Chen quickly returned to the quiet, large room behind ROSE Bar.

A night of passionate lovemaking, with Qiang Wei's bold and fiery body, satisfied Yang Chen's long-suppressed desires.

In the end, after being subdued five or six times, Qiang Wei was completely exhausted. She lay on the bed, her legs crossed, and saw that Yang Chen was ready for another round. She reached out and scratched his back, pouting, "That's not fair! How can a man last longer than a woman? That's not scientifically possible!"

"You're talking about theory, but you were still a virgin before me," Yang Chen said disdainfully, playing with the soft, tender flesh on Qiang Wei's chest, which changed shape under his fingers.

"Hmph, but I've seen many videos online. In Japanese videos, it takes several men to last that long. In real life, it can't be two hours..." Qiang Wei blushed and panted.

Yang Chen inwardly laughed. His body was not just that of an ordinary man. In fact, his endurance in bed was just one of the "side effects" of his body's transformation, perhaps the most psychologically comforting one.

But he couldn't say these things to Qiang Wei. He only said, "So, I'll find many women in the future, and you should understand. After all, I have the ability."

"You can talk to your main wife about that. I'm just the mistress, so I can't control you," Qiang Wei said jealously.

Lin Ruoxi wouldn't care how many women I have, Yang Chen thought, feeling rested, and pounced on Qiang Wei again...

In the morning, Qiang Wei naturally stayed in bed, and Yang Chen, dressed neatly, left.

It was Sunday, so Yang Chen didn't need to go to the market in the western district to buy breakfast. After leaving ROSE Bar, he drove to a relatively clean and wide street. He ate a large bowl of ramen at a small ramen shop and thought about whether he should go to the hospital to visit Lin Ruoxi, but decided against it, thinking there might be many unfamiliar businesspeople visiting.

After leaving the ramen shop, the streets were already bustling with people. Yang Chen planned to drive back to the villa to watch TV and enjoy a leisurely morning, but someone suddenly called out to him.

"Yang Chen!"

The voice was clear and somewhat familiar, but he couldn't immediately place it.

Yang Chen turned his head and saw a somewhat unfamiliar girl walking across the street.

The girl wore a bright yellow T-shirt, a tight-fitting pair of jeans with a slightly rebellious look, and a pair of light green running shoes. Her shoulder-length hair was black and shiny, and she wore a cute blue starfish hair clip. Her face was naturally fresh and pure, without any makeup, but her features already hinted at a natural charm. It was easy to imagine that in a few years, this girl would grow into a charming and alluring woman.

"Do we know each other?" Yang Chen really couldn't remember knowing such a young girl. Besides, the girl, though younger, was still a beauty, and he wouldn't easily forget her.

The girl pouted playfully and said smugly, "I knew you wouldn't recognize me. I'm naturally beautiful, and a change in style has you all confused."

Looking at her proud expression, Yang Chen felt a sense of familiarity. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a purple butterfly tattoo on her hand and immediately recognized her. He looked her up and down and said with a chuckle, "I didn't recognize you. You look like a delinquent girl dressed as a schoolgirl, just like Zhang Bai in 'Comedy King.' Why don't you tie your hair in two braids?"
