At the back door of the Lan Gui Casino.

As soon as Luo Xiu brought his electric scooter to a stop, Wu Tianhua, who had been waiting there, hurried over to greet him. It was Wu Tianhua who had messaged Luo Xiu while he was still at home.

"General Luo, have a smoke," Wu Tianhua beamed, pulling out his pack of Furong King cigarettes and offering one to Luo Xiu.

This was the first time Wu Tianhua had seen Luo Xiu since their last meeting at Yuehuang Entertainment City. He had been wanting to thank him in person ever since.

"General Luo, about what happened at Yuehuang, thank you. I really mean it," Wu Tianhua said with sincere gratitude.

Given Luo Xiu's relationship with Boss Huang, things would have gone badly for Wu Tianhua. If Luo Xiu had mentioned to Boss Huang how Wu Tianhua had led him to that small grove in the outskirts, he would have been killed, or at least skinned alive. But Luo Xiu hadn't said a word about it, so Wu Tianhua was deeply grateful that Luo Xiu had spared both him and Ling Feng.

Luo Xiu waved his hand impatiently, declining the cigarette. "Let's get down to business. Where are they?"

"They're still inside," Wu Tianhua said hastily. "To avoid disturbing the other guests, I had them moved to a private room. They're probably still arguing."

With a grim expression, Luo Xiu strode through the door, and Wu Tianhua hurried to keep up.

He hadn't called Luo Xiu over because of a major incident or a disturbance. It was simply because Xu Qianqing had shown up. Wu Tianhua would normally pay no mind to an ordinary person like Xu Qianqing, who had no money, power, or connections. However, he knew that the whole reason Luo Xiu had trashed the casino last time was Xu Qianqing. That's why he didn't dare get involved in her affairs now, leaving him no choice but to call Luo Xiu to handle it personally.

"General Luo, if you ask me, that Han Zhitao is a real piece of trash! With such a beautiful and virtuous wife, most men would be laughing in their sleep."

"But that son of a bitch Han Zhitao… sigh, I want to chop him into pieces!"

"Why couldn't that son of a bitch just lie in that bed for the rest of his life? Now that he's awake, he's out here courting death again!"

As they walked, Luo Xiu asked, "What's the issue?"

Wu Tianhua explained, "Han Zhitao came to gamble. Then Xu Qianqing came looking for him, trying to get him to go home. They started arguing, and Han Zhitao even hit her, slapping her twice in front of everyone."

Luo Xiu frowned. "Why didn't you step in?"

Wu Tianhua sneaked a glance at Luo Xiu. "I wanted to, and I did try."

With a bitter look, he continued, "But for some reason, after being in a vegetative state, that son of a bitch Han Zhitao woke up with incredible strength."

"Plus, that son of a bitch was also a member of the Martial Association and knows a few fighting techniques."

"The toughest guys at our place are no match for him. Even Feng Zi and I… we couldn't handle him either."

"That's why we had to call you."

Luo Xiu lowered his gaze, not surprised in the least.

The Regeneration Ointment he had given Xu Qianqing wasn't just capable of healing Han Zhitao's injuries; it could also enhance his physique and clear his meridians. His original intent was to grant Han Zhitao a blessing, hoping he would be able to protect Xu Qianqing properly in the future.

But it seemed some scumbags were just rotten to the core.

While they were talking, Luo Xiu took the staff corridor to a private guest room on the second floor.

He had just reached the door when he heard Xu Qianqing and Han Zhitao arguing inside.

"Xu Qianqing, you worthless tramp, I'm warning you, stay out of my business! I know what you're capable of. I was stuck in bed for months, so where the hell did you get over two million yuan?"

"Making the money is one thing, but you even gave it to your parents and that useless brother of yours!"

Xu Qianqing retorted furiously, "Han Zhitao, how many times do I have to tell you? It was my salary! I've never done anything to wrong you!"

"Zhitao, come home with me… Let's stop fighting. You've only just recovered. Can't we just live peacefully from now on, okay?"

"Get lost! Go back if you want to!"

"It's fine if you don't go back, and I don't care if you gamble. Just give me my money back…"

SLAP!

But before she could finish, another slap landed across her face.

"I've already lost all the money. If you want it back, it's not impossible."

"Speaking of which, your timing is perfect. I remember this casino offers that kind of service. With your looks, you could earn at least ten to twenty thousand for one customer. If you get a generous boss, maybe even more."

"You… you… Han Zhitao, how can you say that? Are you even human!"

"Heh, why can't I? You're already a tramp. Isn't that how you got that two million in the first place? So what's wrong with selling yourself a few more times? I'm your husband, and I don't mind, so what do you have to be shy about?"

...

Outside the private room, Wu Tianhua looked at Luo Xiu nervously, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "Uh, General Luo, you…"

Luo Xiu's face was expressionless. "Go downstairs. I'll handle this."

"Yes, sir."

As if granted amnesty, Wu Tianhua turned and left quickly.

Ling Feng was already waiting at the end of the corridor.

Seeing Wu Tianhua approach, he hurried up and asked, "Brother Wu, what's the situation?"

Wu Tianhua glanced around and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, General Luo and Xu Qianqing probably have some kind of secret relationship."

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded thoughtfully. "Well, Xu Qianqing is a top-notch beauty. You can't find many like her in Sea City, and she's a married woman… It's only normal for General Luo to have feelings for her."

Wu Tianhua waved his hand dismissively. "Ah, forget it. Let's not get involved in General Luo's affairs. Let them handle it. In any case, we look down on a guy like Han Zhitao, so what chance does he stand against General Luo?"

Ling Feng nodded and chuckled. "That's true. Given General Luo's status, wanting to sleep with that guy's wife is frankly a compliment to him!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Xiu pushed open the door and entered the private room.

The arguing Xu Qianqing and Han Zhitao fell silent and both turned to look at Luo Xiu.

"Luo Xiu, why… why are you here?"

Xu Qianqing's beautiful eyes trembled. She never expected Luo Xiu to be here.

Han Zhitao sized up Luo Xiu, then let out a chuckle, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he looked at Xu Qianqing. "So, your loverboy found his way here? He seems quite worried about you."

Recalling something, he added, "Oh, right, Xu Qianqing. After I woke up yesterday, I heard from the neighbors that you brought a man home several times, a pretty boy. It must have been this kid, right?"

With that, he walked up to Luo Xiu, tilting his head with a smirk. "Not bad, you're pretty handsome. If I were a woman whose husband was lying in bed for that long, I'd probably find a pretty boy to relieve the loneliness too."

Xu Qianqing's chest heaved with anger. "Han Zhitao, that's enough!"

Han Zhitao ignored her. After studying Luo Xiu with a mocking gaze for a moment, he reached out to pinch his face, but Luo Xiu caught his wrist.

Luo Xiu stared at him, his face a cold mask. "Listen, you punk," he said icily, "when someone gives you face, you take it."
