When Bai Jinghong opened his eyes, it was already ten o’clock at night.
He rubbed his forehead.
Feeling the hot breath against his chest, he couldn’t help but look down.
Xu Sixin was still asleep, lying prone on his chest, her breath puffing against Bai Jinghong’s chest.
She was truly exhausted.
From the fear and anxiety over her daughter’s situation, she hadn’t slept a wink all night, and had even knelt all night outside the Xu Family’s door.
Then this evening, she had fought a major battle.
Now, with her daughter’s problem resolved, she had completely relaxed.
This sleep was very peaceful.
Bai Jinghong didn’t disturb her either, just lay there.
Just then, the phone on the bedside table flashed and vibrated slightly.
Bai Jinghong picked up the phone. It was Shen Yaoyao calling.
He answered and asked, “Yaoyao, what’s up?”
“Jinghong, that disguised fellow has been sent over, guaranteed no flaws!”
Shen Yaoyao was calling to report on the matter he had arranged during the day.
“Good. No need to worry about it further. I’ll handle the operation from here.”
“Mm… Jinghong, aren’t you coming home tonight?”
Bai Jinghong had no intention of going back, so he said directly, “I’m at my other woman’s place.”
“Ah? Oh, oh!” Shen Yaoyao didn’t sound a bit surprised.
“Then rest early. Don’t overwork yourself!”
Shen Yaoyao finished and was about to hang up.
“Wait!” Bai Jinghong stopped her. “Yaoyao, I have quite a few women, and there will probably be more and more. Do you have any objections?”
Shen Yaoyao didn’t hesitate at all, directly saying, “How could I!”
“I originally possessed happiness and joy. Then, overnight, I lost it all!”
“But I’ve found it again. Being by your side is happiness and joy enough!”
“Furthermore, I don’t want to add to your troubles by doing any of that petty jealousy stuff. Being by your side is what matters most!”
“When I was working for the Hell Organization, my days felt like years; I was like a machine. You changed me. I am very content!”
Shen Yaoyao’s words came straight from her heart, spoken with true feeling.
Bai Jinghong smiled. “It’s enough that you think this way. You have no idea. Because of you, readers have scolded me, calling me a lapdog, saying I dote on you way too much, that it’s over the top!”
“But it’s fine. They’re scolding the author. What does that have to do with me, Bai Jinghong?”
“Pfft…” Shen Yaoyao couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m just one of your women. What right would I have to object?”
“Well then, rest early. Sister Qin and I are also going to rest now.”
A simple exchange of well-wishes, and the call ended.
Bai Jinghong placed his phone aside.
However, the commotion had woken Xu Sixin.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Jinghong, filled with an indescribable shyness.
“You’re awake?”
“Mm…” Xu Sixin responded softly, quietly moving off Bai Jinghong’s chest.
Just as she moved away, Bai Jinghong’s hand climbed her peak again, slowly kneading.
Xu Sixin grew secretly nervous. They had been at it so wildly for so long; he couldn’t possibly still have the energy, could he?
“Come on, shower with this young master. I’ve had dinner sent over. We’ll relax for a bit later!”
Bai Jinghong laughed, then scooped Xu Sixin up and carried her into the bathroom.
Xu Sixin grew more nervous in her heart. Two people in one bathtub—that was a lovers’ bath.
It seemed she wouldn’t escape a bombing run later.
Although she felt fully satisfied both physically and mentally, she was also very tired. Like during the evening, the constant squatting up and down had nearly given her cramps.
In the bathroom…
The bathtub was very large, the water very warm. Soft bubbles looked like pure white snowflakes. The two sat facing each other.
Xu Sixin’s blush hadn’t faded, and she looked at Bai Jinghong somewhat shyly.
“Don’t just sit there. Use your headlights!” Bai Jinghong spread his hands open, a wicked smile on his face.
Xu Sixin looked down at her peaks, cupped them, and slowly moved forward…
A long while later again, Xu Sixin only felt a burning sensation on her face.
After the bath, the candlelit dinner had also arrived. Candle flames flickered, a romantic atmosphere permeating the suite.
…
The next morning, Bai Jinghong and Xu Sixin left the hotel.
Under Bai Jinghong’s arrangements, Xu Sixin went to the Bai Corporation’s private hospital to see Duo Duo.
And Bai Jinghong was waiting!
He had already received word from his army buddy, A Xiong.
A Xiong was endlessly thanking Bai Jinghong, saying that if Bai Jinghong hadn’t told him, allowing him to warn his father early and make preparations ahead of time…
This time, it would have caused huge trouble.
Because of this, A Xiong had even earned a First-Class Merit citation.
Gu Tianming’s mercenaries hadn’t crossed the border, but that turtle-spawn Gu Tianming had definitely snuck in.
Based on the flight time from the northwest direction to Dragon Sea, he would arrive very soon.
During this time, Bai Jinghong stayed inside a self-media company near the former White Tiger Hall stronghold.
This company belonged to a friend of Bai Jinghong’s.
The reason for staying there was to wait for a call from that side, so he could rush over in his capacity as the landlord of that stronghold’s private venue.
Today, Bai Jinghong was also contrary to his usual self, sitting in a chair writing and doodling, utterly idle and bored.
Before long, Bai Jinghong’s friend rushed over in a fluster.
“Aiya, Brother Jinghong! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I’ve been so busy. Sorry, sorry!”
“It’s fine. You go about your business. I’m just here to sit for a bit!”
Bai Jinghong didn’t even lift his head, continuing to write his own things.
Li Lan hurriedly arranged for her secretary to make tea.
She also looked curiously at the paper Bai Jinghong was writing on.
“Wow, Brother Jinghong truly has great literary talent!” Li Lan looked at the verses on the paper and showered him with praise.
Bai Jinghong glanced at her. “Are you sure I have great literary talent?”
“In that case, help me publicize it, especially let the people at Underworld Win Group know!”
As he spoke, Bai Jinghong threw the casually written paper to Li Lan.
“Leave it to me!” Li Lan laughed, picked up Bai Jinghong’s paper, and read aloud:
“Truly wonderful verses!”
“Chen Lin wets the sand wall, evening darkens the silent dawn.”
“Mud if scent doesn’t seep through, fertile grass drowns the horse’s nose.”
These are lines crafted to sound elegant but are homophones for crude insults in Chinese.
Li Lan wasn’t a fool; how could she not see this was cursing a man named Chen Lin?
But since she’d already spoken, she had to find a way to smooth it over.
“Brother Jinghong, this poem of yours is truly a masterpiece. The sand wall moistened in the woods, whether it’s dusk or dawn, all is a serene silence!”
“The mud seems unable to be penetrated even by fragrance. The fertile wild grass is so thick and deep, it submerges the horse’s nose!”
“What a fine line: ‘Fertile grass drowns the horse’s nose!'”
“Damn!” Even Bai Jinghong had to admire her. As expected of someone in self-media.
Just then, Bai Jinghong’s phone received a message!
He smiled coldly, put away his phone. “I’ll come play another time. Leaving now!”
Bai Jinghong directly left the other party’s office!
And at that very moment, four men with fierce, murderous auras suddenly appeared inside the White Tiger Hall’s stronghold.
“Search for me! Anyone who dares obstruct, dies!”
Gu Tianming had arrived. His face was incomparably gloomy, and he smelled a bit… foul.
All because the water thrown on him yesterday seemed to have been foot-washing water.
His clothes were damp, and after being kept wet for so long, they were fermenting a stench.
Upon receiving the order, Gu Tianming’s confidants immediately began searching.
Ah Kun was at the scene but didn’t go to obstruct them.
After searching for a long time, they found no trace of any child, and the place seemed very empty.
“Reporting to Death God, not found!”
“No trace of the little miss!”
The successive reports made Gu Tianming restless. He was about to howl at the sky again.
“What are you doing? Who told you to cause trouble here!”
Bai Jinghong arrived. Vajra beside him, following Bai Jinghong’s instructions, began shouting.
Gu Tianming’s gaze sharpened, sweeping over Bai Jinghong.
“You’re the person in charge here?”
Bai Jinghong met his gaze without the slightest fear. “I am. What’s your problem? Coming here to cause trouble?”
“Hand her over!” Gu Tianming slowly approached, his fists clenched so tight they cracked.
The other men from the Hell Organization were likewise ready to strike at any moment.
“Hand what over? I’m the landlord here. The former tenants here committed crimes. Don’t tell me you’re with them?”
“Well then, perfect. Pay up and ransom your people!”
With a wave of Bai Jinghong’s hand, dozens of men instantly rushed out, each holding a weapon.
