Chapter 72

At this moment, Ling Siyi's expression gave Chu Ying a sense of fascination. Her eyes were like a clear pool of water, neither shy nor bold, just staring straight at him, neither affectionate nor cold, completely transparent. Chu Ying's heart trembled, as if a nerve had been touched. Suddenly, his hands lifted Ling Siyi's firm buttocks, and amidst her startled cry, he picked her up. With the bed right behind him, Chu Ying turned and placed her on it.

Staring at Ling Siyi's beautiful eyes, which were wide open in shock, Chu Ying's breathing became heavy. A smile curved at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a lecherous look, "I've done so much for you, even if you don't know how to repay kindness, you should at least give me some reward, right?"

Chu Ying's intense gaze immediately made Ling Siyi's heart flutter. She blurted out, "What reward do you want?"

"Exactly this!" Chu Ying chuckled, his mouth moving closer and closer. Ling Siyi's eyes were filled with panic. When she smelled Chu Ying's breath, her body trembled, her beautiful eyes closed, and her mind went blank, even the defensive guard she had built up was completely abandoned.

Ling Siyi felt a mix of anticipation, shyness, and a bit of resistance. Was her first kiss about to be taken by this despicable thug?

But after waiting for a while, there was no further action from Chu Ying. Ling Siyi slowly opened her eyes, just in time to see Chu Ying's half-smiling, half-serious expression. "What, what are you going to do?"

"What do you want me to do, boss?" Chu Ying grinned mischievously. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't want to take advantage of her, especially since Ling Siyi had already been shocked enough and shouldn't be subjected to more psychological pressure.

"You thug!" Ling Siyi was speechless, feeling a faint sense of disappointment. She clearly hated this despicable guy, but why did she feel disappointed when he behaved properly?

Although he couldn't go further, taking some advantage was still necessary. Chu Ying moved his body, his broad chest pressing tightly against Ling Siyi, making his "little eagle" misbehave again.

"My bodyguard is not only considerate but also very close. Boss, should you give me a raise?" Chu Ying chuckled.

Ling Siyi felt Chu Ying's "little eagle" pressing against her, a wave of heat rising from her abdomen, making her feel weak all over, her face flushed, and her voice lazy. "Can we sit up and talk properly?"

"No!" Chu Ying laughed.

Faced with such a thug, Ling Siyi couldn't find a way to deal with him. Looking at Chu Ying's head wrapped in bandages, she threatened, "If you don't get off, be careful with your head!"

Chu Ying was taken aback. "Whether I get off or not, what does it have to do with my head?"

Ling Siyi huffed, her fingertips lightly touching the bloodstained area. Chu Ying yelped and suddenly stood up. "You're too heartless! I got injured for you!"

Straightening her disheveled clothes, Ling Siyi said, "You bullied me just now, now we're even!"

Pausing, Ling Siyi whispered, "I need to go out, or others might misunderstand."

With that, she fled the room, leaving a dejected Chu Ying behind.

Shaking his head, Chu Ying looked at the shirt that had been torn into shreds and was covered in blood, then threw it into the trash bin and walked out of the room bare-chested.

Ling Siyi wasn't in the office. Chu Ying knew that people like her, with a strong exterior, actually had a very fragile heart, especially when it came to matters of the heart. They wouldn't easily fall for someone, but once they did, their feelings would be as intense as fire.

Perhaps Ling Siyi had a slight unusual feeling for Chu Ying, but mostly it was gratitude. A few incidents wouldn't make Ling Siyi truly fall in love, so if Chu Ying really wanted to have something with his beautiful boss, he needed to keep working at it.

The mess in the office had been cleaned up. Chu Ying sat on the sofa and called Huanzi, who told him he had taken Chu Xin down the mountain to get bandaged. Feeling bored, Chu Ying left the office.

"Brother Ying, good!" As soon as he opened the door, a chorus of voices greeted him. Li Dong, Ah Biao, and Fan Hong stood at the front, with over a dozen subordinates behind them, all looking at Chu Ying with admiration.

Although they hadn't seen Chu Ying in action, the fact that he had single-handedly repelled Ma Tao and his group, who might have had guns, was enough to earn their respect.

Chu Ying's scars also left a deep impression on everyone. No wonder Brother Ying was so strong; he must have gone through unimaginable hardships. Each of those scars was enough to drive a person to the brink of death, but Brother Ying had persevered. That was what a real man was!

Compared to Brother Ying, the minor injuries they had were nothing.

Seeing that Li Dong and the others were all injured but not a single one complained or showed any sign of grievance, Chu Ying was very satisfied. After being trained by Fat Head Ma and Ma Tao, these people had improved, especially in terms of their mental toughness. They no longer feared those stronger than them and were willing to fight them head-on.

However, today's events also taught Chu Ying a lesson. Without a few capable subordinates, he would have to do everything himself, which would not only exhaust him but also likely lead to failure. If he hadn't arrived in time today, who knew what terrible consequences might have occurred.

"Brothers, you did well today. I'll treat you, let's go down the mountain!" Chu Ying said with a hearty laugh.

Chu Ying's praise greatly boosted the morale of Li Dong and the others. Despite being middle-aged, Li Dong still had a fiery spirit and was the loudest among them, shouting excitedly.

Chu Ying felt his pocket and looked embarrassed. "I forgot my car. Dongzi and Ah Biao, send two people down the mountain to bring the two Wuling cars. I'll make a call." Saying this, he threw the keys to Li Dong.

Li Dong had only these few subordinates, and they had all been involved in the attack on Chu Ying. They knew where the cars were parked, so two of them volunteered to take the keys and went down the mountain happily.

"How can we let Brother Ying pay? You brats, take out all the money you have!" Ah Biao shouted, rummaging through his pockets but only finding a few dozen yuan.

The others didn't hold back either, taking out all their money. However, they were just a group of ruffians who roamed from village to village and didn't have much money. Together, they didn't even make up a thousand yuan.

"I have a card with a few thousand on it. This meal is on me!" Li Dong, being the leader of the group, still had some savings and generously offered it.

The subordinates cheered.

Chu Ying smiled. "Consider it a debt I owe you!"

When the two subordinates brought the cars back, Chu Ying also drove Ling Siyi's car over. He had Li Dong, Ah Biao, and Fan Hong sit with him in one car, and the others in the Wuling.

The three cars sped down the mountain.
