Du Ling's skills were quite formidable; his martial arts cultivation was at least level six. With a flick of his wrist, Hong Damao's obese body flew through the air, slamming heavily against a wall.
Then, Hong Damao slid down the wall like a dead pig.
He even spat out a mouthful of blood.
Du Ling approached him, stomping on his face with his foot, and said in a sinister tone, "Damao, I'm heartbroken. You've been with me for seven or eight years, how could you be so blind? Bullying my brother?"
As he spoke, he continued to stomp on Hong Damao's body with his shoe.
Hong Damao felt incredibly bitter. He really wanted to say, "Boss, I didn't bully your brother, it was your brother who bullied me! He smashed one of my fingers and stole my gold necklace and gold ring!"
But what came out was, "Boss, I...I didn't know he was your brother. If I had known, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I...I still wouldn't dare..."
"Speak! What is it!" Du Ling drawled, his voice sharp and menacing. "Don't lie to me, tell me the truth! You know my temper, don't keep testing my patience!"
Hong Damao choked up; how could he dare hide anything? He could only tell the whole story.
After listening, Du Ling understood. He nodded. "Very good!"
He lifted his foot, looked at Lu Chen, his voice bitter. "Chen, I remember you told me that the compensation had to be in place. I promised you. I'm sorry, I'll give you an explanation!"
Lu Chen said calmly, "It's about giving those villagers an explanation."
Du Ling looked at Ding Huochang, his eyes like spears, as if he wanted to tear him apart.
He approached him step by step.
Ding Huochang plopped down on the sofa, waving his hands frantically, "Boss... Boss, please forgive me for all the good I've done for Hongqing Hall these past few years, and... please forgive my old man..."
Du Ling approached him, pressing his foot firmly into his chest.
Ding Huochang felt like he couldn't breathe.
Du Ling said, slowly and deliberately, "Old Ding, of my four deputy hall masters, you're not the one I value most, but you're the one I tolerate. You've embezzled a lot of money under me, but I haven't said anything because your network has helped me a lot, and I think you deserve it. You're having an affair with Li Lulu, and I'll pretend I don't know. She's a whore, I don't blame you. But don't think I'm easy to bully! Don't push your luck!"
With that, he suddenly grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it down on Ding Huochang's head.
Bang!
A sharp scream pierced the air, and the glass bottle shattered into pieces. Blood immediately streamed down Ding Huochang's forehead, quickly covering his face. Combined with his horrifying appearance, he looked like a ghost.
Everyone around was stunned. They never imagined their leader would beat their deputy leader like that.
Even Lu Chen's brow twitched slightly.
Ding Huochang trembled violently. He never dreamed that Boss Du knew so much.
He murmured, "Boss, spare me, I...I'll never dare to do it again..."
Du Ling gritted his teeth: "Old Ding, didn't I tell you time and again that you must pay the land expropriation money, every single penny! Didn't you understand what I meant? You can't embezzle this money! Where the hell are your ears? Are they covered in dog shit?"
As he cursed fiercely, Du Ling suddenly grabbed Ding Huochang's ear and twisted it violently.
That was a really strong twist; it almost snapped Ding Huochang's ear.
Old Ding screamed in agony, "Boss, I'll never do it again! Boss... I'll never do it again..."
Du Ling's tone grew even more aggressive: "You bastard! I promised my brother, and you made me break my promise?! You're really asking for it! Do you know who my brother Chen is? Huh? This project that could make us a fortune was brought to us by him! Do you know who he is? He's also my godfather Pang Lao's brother! If my godfather finds out that my deputy leader treated his brother like this, I'll be in big trouble too!"
He roared, then slapped Ding Huochang twice more hard, making him see stars, and he begged for mercy again.
Du Ling released his grip and coldly asked, "Then tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Ding Huochang, panting heavily, quickly said, "Tomorrow... I'll go and distribute all the compensation money... tomorrow, boss, I... I promise not a penny less, not a penny less!"
"And then?" Du Ling asked coldly.
Ding Huochang was stunned: "And... what else?"
"Idiot!" Du Ling suddenly grabbed his collar, yanked him hard, and shoved him violently. Instantly, Ding Huochang rolled like a gourd, all the way to Lu Chen's feet.
Du Ling roared, "Damn it, apologize to me! Ask your brother Chen if there's anything else to do!"
Ding Huochang, his internal organs churning from the beating, straightened up and knelt before Lu Chen, shouting hoarsely, "Brother Chen... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, tell me... what else to do? I'll do it."
Lu Chen scratched his head. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Remember to make sure all the medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress for those villagers you had injured are paid, door-to-door. Also, find two pure and innocent beauties and send them to your Boss Du to help him calm down, understand?"
Ding Huochang nodded hurriedly.
Du Ling laughed heartily, "Ah Chen, it's rare that you still think of me at a time like this!"
...
When Lu Chen got home, it was almost one o'clock, and he was exhausted. Later, he had a few drinks with Du Ling at the nightclub and discussed the construction of Nisdi for a while before returning home.
The house was quiet; the three beauties were probably asleep.
Lu Chen tiptoed in to take a shower, and soon there was a soft knock on the door.
He was startled, and quietly opened the door a crack, seeing Shen Tian.
Shen Tian smiled sweetly, "Let me scrub your back, let me in."
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then let go of her hand.
Shen Tian, upon entering, boldly took off her nightgown, revealing she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Her pale body made Lu Chen embarrassed to look any longer, so he turned his head away. However, his heart was pounding.
While Shen Tian's figure wasn't as breathtaking as beauties like Dong Qingqing, Liu Li, or Xu Jiaqi, it was still quite curvaceous, with exceptionally fair skin and soft, alluring lines.
She was definitely a rare beauty!
Otherwise, Huang Jian wouldn't have used her to ingratiate himself with so many powerful figures, captivating them all.
Shen Tian had Lu Chen sit on a stool, then used a loofah to scrub his back, first along his spine, then on both sides, vertically and horizontally, making Lu Chen feel incredibly comfortable, sighing with pleasure.
During this time, Shen Tian gently inquired about what had happened on the Gold Coast, and Lu Chen recounted it in detail. When she mentioned Bald Qiang holding the scarf she had knitted, admiring it so much, Shen Tian sighed softly, "He's so foolish."
Then, hearing that Bald Qiang had timely led his men into the peacock house, preventing an impending fight, Shen Tian laughed, "He's not stupid after all; he still considered my feelings!"
Lu Chen also asked about Guo Fuyun's situation, how the girl was feeling.
Shen Tian sighed softly, "She's quite quiet, just not saying a word. After you left, she lay in bed and wouldn't get up, still crying. I couldn't comfort her. Lingling held her and kept soothing her. Finally, she stopped crying."
Lu Chen chuckled, thinking, "She's still such a child!" Thinking back, Yunyun was quite amusing; at first, she had tried to persuade Lingling not to come along, but in the end, she didn't go, and now Lingling had to comfort her. After rubbing for about half an hour, Shen Tian said softly, "Hey, I'll move the stool away for you, squat down."
Squat down? Lu Chen was stunned, vaguely sensing that something even more unbelievable was about to happen. He felt a little uneasy, but still let Shen Tian remove the stool from under him.
Then, Shen Tian's slender fingers reached down from behind Lu Chen's lower body, moving there like playing the piano. Lu Chen trembled all over, his head tingling with pleasure. The comfort and pleasure were an experience he had never felt before!
Lu Chen never imagined that Shen Tian's ten fingers could do such a thing.
This gentle flicking and scratching made him lose half his soul.
Then, Shen Tian whispered two words in Lu Chen's ear.
Lu Chen hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Okay!"
Instantly, a shy yet joyful smile appeared on Shen Tian's flushed face. Lu Chen sat back down on the stool, while Shen Tian knelt in front of him, gently lowering her head…
In the bathroom, the man's moans were truly like those of a wild beast.
After leaving the bathroom, Shen Tian even invited Lu Chen to her room to sleep with her.
However, Lu Chen worried that he might accidentally lose control, so he shook his head.
Shen Tian didn't insist.
Lying on the sofa, Lu Chen felt completely at ease; he had truly been served like a god by Shen Tian.
Unconsciously, he drifted off to sleep. Suddenly, he seemed to feel a soft, fragrant body embracing him from behind. He opened his eyes abruptly—holy crap, it really was her!
At first, he thought it was Shen Tian who was reluctant to part with him. Then he sensed that the body was more immature than Shen Tian's, and not as uninhibited; it was tense.
Lu Chen understood. Just as he was wondering if it was Yunyun or Lingling, a slightly awkward voice came from behind him, a voice trembling with a hint of tears: "I'm sorry, I... I'll never do it again."
Instantly, Lu Chen's heart softened. It was Guo Fuyun!
He gently patted her smooth, white arm. "I'm a little sorry too. I was too harsh, and I even spanked you! Does it still hurt?"
Guo Fuyun said, "A little. Lingling saw it and said it's red and swollen."
Lu Chen let out a soft "uh," his guilt intensifying. He said, "How about you hit me back? You can use your meteor hammer too! I promise I won't fight back!"
Guo Fuyun ignored Lu Chen's suggestion and said sullenly, "I feel I need to protect you. Try to take me with you next time. But if you say no, I won't bother you."
Lu Chen's heart softened even more. "Okay, I promise. Go back to sleep!"
Being held by a beautiful young woman like this, her newly matured body was truly tempting for Lu Chen! So, it was best to avoid this again.
Guo Fuyun paused slightly, but hugged Lu Chen even tighter, uttering only two words: "Sleep!"
