Wu Tianhua and Ling Feng had received a message that their Big Brother and Big Sister were looking for them. They hurriedly tended to the wounds on their rears and rushed to Yuehuang Entertainment City.
But they didn't expect to see Luo Xiu sitting there coolly the moment they entered the lobby.
Enemies really do have a way of crossing paths! What terrible luck!
"Brother Hua, since Big Brother is here too, why don't we have him deal with this little bastard? It would solve the issue with Lan Gui Casino getting smashed and also get revenge for us," Ling Feng proposed.
Wu Tianhua sank into thought. After a moment, he replied, "That could work. Big Brother usually brings Wu Xin with him. We might not be able to handle this little bastard, but if Wu Xin makes a move…"
At this, the two exchanged a knowing smile, already picturing the tragic fate awaiting Luo Xiu.
Wu Xin is from the Martial Association! Although she's still very young, her skills rank in the top ten!
With this in mind, the brothers walked straight toward Luo Xiu.
"You bastard, so we meet again! What are the odds?"
Luo Xiu glanced toward the voice, momentarily startled. He hadn't expected to run into Ling Feng and Wu Tianhua here. It had only been a few hours since they last met.
Wu Tianhua grabbed a chair, placed it in front of Luo Xiu, and sat down. At the same time, Ling Feng and a few of his underlings quickly surrounded Luo Xiu.
Despite being surrounded, Luo Xiu remained calm and composed. He smiled and said, "It seems the previous lesson with the cudgels wasn't enough to make you learn."
Wu Tianhua scoffed disdainfully, "What an arrogant and ignorant oaf."
"You little bastard, you think you can fight? If you've got the guts, don't you dare run. You wait right here, and I'll teach you how to be a decent human being!" Turning to Ling Feng, he asked, "Feng Zi, did you call for backup?"
Ling Feng nodded. "They'll be here any minute."
Luo Xiu gave a casual shrug, crossed his legs, and leaned back leisurely on the sofa. "By the way, how much do you guys make a month in this line of work? Do you get benefits like insurance and a retirement fund? And if you get hurt or crippled, does it count as a workplace injury?"
Hearing this, Wu Tianhua's face turned cold. "Do you think I'm here to make small talk with you?"
A portly underling beside him couldn't take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Hua, this kid is too damn arrogant! Look at him, acting like he's never seen the world. I'm itching to rough him up!"
"Don't!" Wu Tianhua yelped, stopping him at once.
He had personally witnessed Luo Xiu's skills just a few hours ago. With just these few men, they were simply asking for a beating. Getting thrashed in that little grove in the suburbs was one thing; at least it was only among their own people, with no outsiders to see. If they got beaten up here, "Hua Butcher" could forget about making a name for himself in Sea City.
Thinking of his future, Wu Tianhua decided to endure it. The priority was to stall Luo Xiu and not let him escape! Once Wu Xin arrives... Heh heh...
Amid this strange atmosphere, the clicking of high heels suddenly echoed through the hall.
Luo Xiu looked up and his eyes immediately fell on the sexy and elegant Su Shenyun. His expression instantly soured, as if he were in a bad mood.
"It seems you're all being quite warm to Mister Luo." Su Shenyun approached, looking at Ling Feng and Wu Tianhua with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
The two brothers hurried to greet her, their heads bowed low. They didn't dare to meet her gaze, their posture one of utmost respect.
In Sea City, everyone knew Old Master Sun's illegitimate daughter was the "Demoness of the Business World." She was the city's former number one beauty, her fame spread far and wide. But only a select few knew that Su Shenyun was the underground Queen of Sea City. Even fewer knew how cruel and terrifying this outwardly beautiful and noble underground queen could be.
This was why, even though Su Shenyun was Boss Huang's wife, men like Ling Feng called her "Big Sister" instead of "Sister-in-law." The titles 'Big Sister' and 'Sister-in-law' were very different.
"Big Sister, you've come at the perfect time." With his head still bowed and his face beaded with cold sweat, Wu Tianhua pointed at Luo Xiu. "He's the little bastard who smashed up the Lan Gui Casino."
At his words, Su Shenyun's brow furrowed, her expression turning colder by several degrees. In that instant, the air in the lobby seemed to become chillingly cold.
"What did you just call him?"
"I… Big Sister, I…" Wu Tianhua shuddered. A powerful survival instinct told him something was deeply wrong. He stammered, afraid to say another word lest he misspeak.
"Forget it. Don't let it happen again. The two of you will kneel here and reflect on your actions," Su Shenyun said, her gaze fixed on them with a trace of icy sternness.
The moment she finished speaking, Wu Tianhua and Ling Feng dropped to the ground with a thud, kneeling so hard they might have shattered their kneecaps. Yet, instead of feeling tense or afraid, they felt as if they had just escaped from Ghost Gate Pass. Although they didn't know why, it was clear their Big Sister wasn't going to pursue the matter.
Then, as if becoming a different person, the piercing coldness in Su Shenyun's eyes vanished, replaced by a gentle, captivating charm and boundless allure. She walked over to Luo Xiu, took his arm, and smiled sweetly. "Let's go. Come upstairs with me."
Su Shenyun could actually guess why Ling Feng and Wu Tianhua had treated Luo Xiu that way. After all, he had wrecked the Lan Gui Casino, which was under Wu Tianhua's management. And even though everyone knew Luo Xiu was the Lin Family's son-in-law, given Wu Tianhua's character, he wouldn't pay the Lin Family much mind.
It wasn't until Su Shenyun and Luo Xiu had entered the elevator that Wu Tianhua and Ling Feng, still kneeling on the floor, dared to breathe normally again.
Ling Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling. "What's with Big Sister? What in the world is the relationship between that... that Luo Xiu and her?"
Wu Tianhua mused, "Luo Xiu is the Lin Family's son-in-law, and the Lin Family has a partnership with the Su Family. And since Big Sister is from the Sun Family, do you think it might be because of that connection?"
Ling Feng looked baffled. "But he's just a son-in-law of the Lin Family. And I heard he's not even liked in the family. So what has he done to deserve this? How could he make our Big Sister treat him like that? She even took his arm."
Wu Tianhua considered it. "Could Big Sister be keeping him as a pretty boy? I mean, the kid is handsome enough, and he looks strong."
"Shush!" Ling Feng quickly made a hushing gesture. "Don't talk nonsense! Be careful Big Sister doesn't hear you!"
In the elevator, Su Shenyun released Luo Xiu's arm. Seeing his stern expression, she asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did all that scare my little treasure?"
Luo Xiu looked at her, clearly displeased. "Where are the black stockings you promised me on the phone?"
Su Shenyun froze for a second before bursting into laughter. She couldn't believe that after everything, this trivial detail was what he was fixated on.
Luo Xiu glanced at her legs and shook his head. "A woman's words are nothing but lies." Her legs were indeed beautiful—pale, smooth, and long—but they were still missing the black stockings.
"Alright, alright, my treasure, I was wrong." Su Shenyun reached out to pinch his waist before opening her handbag to give him a peek inside.
Luo Xiu's eyes lit up, a mysterious smile spreading across his face.
Su Shenyun pouted her lips. "I have black, white, and gray ones. I even have fishnets. Later, after I get my husband drunk, Sister will change and put on a show for you."
Luo Xiu suddenly pulled her into a tight hug, deeply inhaling the unique, exotic fragrance that came from her Innate Allure Bone. "Auntie Su, I think I'm addicted to you. I'm completely hooked!"
"Then let this sister poison you for a lifetime."
DING!
Just as they were hugging and kissing in the elevator, the doors opened at the most inconvenient moment. A cleaning lady walked in, giving the two of them a strange look.
Su Shenyun coughed twice, let go of Luo Xiu, straightened her skirt and hair, and stepped out first.
Inside a luxurious private suite, Boss Huang was holding a microphone and singing his heart out.
"I haven't been the big boss for many years!"
"I don't love the cold side of the bed!"
"…"
"I just want to love with all my heart for once."
Listening to Boss Huang's singing, Luo Xiu shook his head, sighing to himself. This song is enough to curdle the blood. It's so damn awful! It could not only slaughter pigs, but people too.
"Xiao Luo, you're just in time! Come, belt one out with your big bro!"
Luo Xiu waved his hand dismissively.
Boss Huang put down the microphone and sat down on a sofa. "Then come have a few drinks with your big bro?"
Luo Xiu walked over and sat beside him. "Boss Huang, why did you ask for me so late?"
At this, Boss Huang's expression darkened. "I told you not to call me Boss! Call me Ah Huang!"
Luo Xiu was speechless. "..."
Boss Huang chuckled. "Well, the main reason I called you here today was to introduce you to a few of my boys. Also, Yun'er told me you lost your job after that incident with the Lin Family, so I wanted to find some work for you. A man can't be idle! You need to have a job!"
Luo Xiu's brow twitched. If it weren't for Su Shenyun, I would've slapped you dead for a comment like that.
Boss Huang declared seriously, "I've decided! From now on, you'll be in charge of managing the Lan Gui Casino!"
"..."
