”Boss, what do you mean by that? Say that again and I might just turn against you. If it weren’t for you, I would have been dead a long time ago. But, boss, I have to admit, you’ve got good taste. Sister-in-law is gorgeous, and she’s the chairman of a huge group. No wonder you’d rather hide out here than go back. If I were you, I’d do the same. But, boss, you’d better pray for good luck, and make sure that little girl Mandala doesn’t find out, or else, just think about the consequences.”

On the other end of the phone, Fu Tu’s voice carried a trace of intense schadenfreude.

”Fu Tu, you’re getting more and more gossipy. But, I don’t know what would happen if Mandala knew about this, but I’m sure if she heard what you’re saying right now, you wouldn’t be getting any sleep tonight. You might find snakes or scorpions in your bed, or who knows what you could end up eating during your meals, believe it or not.”

”Ah! Boss, what are you saying! I can’t hear you, wow, the wind here is too strong, it’s blowing the signal away, I can’t get a signal, hiss hiss hiss, boss, gotta go, I’ll contact you when I have time.”

The call was quickly cut off.

Lu Tianxing wore an expression of being caught between laughter and tears, shaking his head as he looked up at the bright moon suspended in the sky, lost in thought.

...

Meanwhile, at the rooftop of a skyscraper in Modu, a young man in white clothes, with a calm face, stood there holding a brand new fruit phone. With a slight pressure of his fingers, the phone in the palm of his hand instantly turned into a wisp of flying ash and scattered with the wind.

”It seems the Underworld has been too calm for too long, making everyone forget the blood-soaked scenes once wrought by the Netherworld Mercenary Corps. Anyone who dares to mess with my sister-in-law will meet their end by my hand, Fu Tu. I’ll send you on the path to the netherworld.”

The young man murmured softly to himself. His figure then transformed into a dazzling blade of light, shooting through the sky and disappearing.

The next morning, Lu Tianxing, who was still groggy from sleep, was suddenly woken by a series of urgent ring tones.

”Wife, do you know that disrupting someone’s sweet dream is like slaying their parents, an enmity so deep it cannot coexist under the same sky? Can you turn off the phone? It’s disturbing my sleep.”

Lu Tianxing groggily opened his eyes, somewhat displeased as he looked towards Bai Zhiqing’s spot. When he saw her clearly, his eyes brightened as the morning view was indeed pleasing.

Bai Zhiqing was undeniably a natural beauty. Her unpainted face was smooth and tender, like a freshly peeled boiled egg, with red hints shining through the white, nothing like those who are unrecognizable without makeup. Her sleepy eyes carried a bit of a silly air, which made one want to hold her close and torment her thoroughly. Due to sleeping, her loose nightgown had slipped aside, revealing bits of scenery hardly concealed.

”I rate this pure white skin with a nine, not a full score only because I don’t want you to become arrogant.”

Lu Tianxing thought of a popular phrase on the internet that suited the situation perfectly.

”Lu Tianxing, can’t you say something nice? Do you think everyone’s like you, a pig? Also, look at what time it is, and don’t talk to me. If others found out that I’m sleeping in the same room with you, do you know what the consequences would be?”

Bai Zhiqing glared fiercely at Lu Tianxing, discretely straightened her nightgown, and then picked up the phone and answered it.

”This is Bai Zhiqing, what is it?”

”Chairman, there’s big trouble. This morning, a lot of negative comments about our company suddenly appeared online, and they’re saying Bai’s Group is about to disappear. Many retail investors have already started selling off their stocks. Moreover, an unknown force is targeting our stocks. They have massive funds and strong capabilities, and we’re no match for them.”

A panicked voice came through the phone, accompanied by the sounds of frantic keyboard typing and stock market analysis.

”What did you say!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing visibly shuddered and immediately stood up from the bed, her eyes wide and her face filled with disbelief. She couldn’t believe how quickly the opposing party was moving. They had just taken action against Bai’s Group the day before, and now they were planning to strike at the stock market. If anything went wrong with Bai’s Group, the investment in Tianhe Resort would likely have nothing to do with Bai’s Group anymore.

”Chairman, what should we do next? We’ve already invested a lot of money and can’t seem to stop their offensive. They’re aggressively pressing down our stocks.”

”I understand. Tell the traders to stabilize the stocks at all costs. Keep calm, I’m coming to the company right away.”

Bai Zhiqing hung up the phone, didn’t bother to argue with Lu Tianxing, grabbed an OL suit from the wardrobe, changed her clothes in the bathroom, took her handbag, and hurried downstairs.

Lu Tianxing watched Bai Zhiqing rush out and also got out of bed. He wasn’t in a rush to help Bai Zhiqing solve the problem. If Bai’s Group were that easily overtaken, it wouldn’t be Bai’s Group. They had to put up a fight at least.

Besides, isn’t that how it always plays out on TV? The heroine is often pushed to the brink before the hero appears dramatically to the sound of uplifting music, right?

After getting up and quickly brushing up, he changed into a casual outfit and went downstairs, only to find Bai Qiao Mountain, He Cailan, and Bai Weiwei sitting at the dining table, leisurely enjoying breakfast while watching the morning news on TV. Bai Zhiqing was obviously not at the table, clearly having left in a hurry after hearing about the trouble at the company and skipping breakfast.

Hearing footsteps, the three of them looked up at Lu Tianxing.

”Brother-in-law, did you and my sister have a fight? Why did she rush out so early in the morning without even having breakfast? Did you force her to do something bad, and now she’s planning to call the police on you?”

Bai Weiwei blinked curiously at Lu Tianxing, sizing him up from head to toe, seemingly trying to discern any differences from the previous night.

”Don’t talk nonsense, young lady.”

Bai Qiao Mountain glared at Bai Weiwei and turned to Lu Tianxing to ask, ”Tianxing, what exactly happened?”

”Grandpa, it’s nothing serious. Someone from the company called her to handle some issues. You don’t have to worry. I’ll bring Zhiqing some breakfast when I go to the company later,” Lu Tianxing said simply.

”So it’s just that, huh? Zhiqing really should manage better. It’s just some trouble. Tianxing, you too, why do you indulge her like that? You’ll spoil her eventually,” He Cailan complained.

”Grandma, what’s the big deal? Aren’t wives meant to be spoiled?”

Lu Tianxing chuckled, took a seat at the dining table, and joined the breakfast brigade.
