Synopsis:

Zhang Dong returns to Xiaoli Town with Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun. Besides Chen Nan's long-awaited reunion with the mute aunt, Zhang Dong also
receives a "warm" reunion gift from Lin Yan.

During a conversation with the Xu family, Zhang Dong learns about Songshan, a place Zhang Yong mentioned before leaving, and
asks Xu Hanlan to take him there the next day. Unexpectedly, it happens to be Xu Hanlan's birthday...

Chapter 1: A Night of Tears

Previously, the hotel owner held a decoration competition to create unique rooms. Each
room was independently designed by a designer. Despite being called a competition, the hotel
covered all the decoration and labor costs, including the designers' food and lodging, and the winner received a substantial prize.

This was the owner's clever scheme; he spent a lot of money but got so many unique rooms, which was
one of the hotel's selling points.

From a business perspective, the hotel owner's move was brilliant, saving a significant amount on design fees and avoiding criticism
.

This room, named "Girl's Heart," was designed with a romantic theme, decorated primarily in dreamy pink
with touches of deep red, creating a beautiful and ethereal look. The furniture and appliances matched this color scheme,
blending seamlessly and creating a comfortable atmosphere.

One wall of the room featured a huge floor-to-ceiling window, obscuring the view from the outside. A crystal chandelier cast
a warm glow, enhancing the cozy ambiance.

The specially designed furniture was extravagant. The enormous TV on the wall was one thing, but the sofa
was ridiculously large, easily accommodating two or three people. The round bed was even more outrageous, at least six meters in diameter.
One could roll around in that bed without falling off! Zhang Dong

wondered what the designer was thinking, making the furniture at least twice the size of normal furniture. "Is this some kind of dreamy Barbie doll house?" he thought. "Damn, 'Girl's Heart,' they say it so convincingly, but who are they trying to scare?" he thought. "Why such a huge bed?" "You've invited a bunch of girls to sleep here, huh!" Despite thinking the room's design was nice, Zhang Dong inwardly cursed: "What kind of girly design is this? It feels like a communal sex parlor! Just the large bed and sofa alone are suspicious. Two 100-kilogram girls could easily fit in." The luxurious suite was exquisitely decorated, with a relaxed living room and a dreamy bedroom. The theme . The decorations emphasized the romantic theme and were mostly cute, probably because the designer thought most girls would fall for it. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan were overjoyed upon entering the room, immediately turning on the TV and throwing themselves onto the sofa to play . Soon after, they were holding hands, looking around. It seemed that these young girls, experiencing their first stirrings of love , couldn't resist the romantic theme; after all, every girl has a beautiful princess dream. The things left in the previous room had been delivered, and Zhang Dong carefully checked them, afraid of forgetting anything, as there were quite a few valuables in his luggage. Just then, the hotel set meals arrived. Zhang Dong had ordered three sets; although simple, they were beautifully presented and looked very appetizing. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan had taken anti-inflammatory medication that evening and couldn't drink alcohol, so even though Zhang Dong had to drink for business, he had been very restrained, staying sober and ordering drinks for them. This small detail made Chen Nan smile shyly, clearly enjoying the feeling of being cared for. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan toured the luxurious suite, looking quite excited. When Zhang Dong jokingly invited them to dinner, they were initially reluctant, but they were also hungry, so they obediently sat down and ate with Zhang Dong. During the meal, they excitedly discussed the themed room. It was almost eleven o'clock. After the three of them finished what was unclear whether it was dinner or a late-night snack, they tidied up. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan lazily played with their new phones. After all, phones can be quite addictive , and since they had never used one before, their curiosity was understandable. "I'm going to run the bathwater; I can't stay up too late tonight." Zhang Dong had no interest in watching TV, and with a burning lust within him, he volunteered to run the errand. The alcohol he drank that night was starting to take effect, and being in a room with two such charming young women—unless he cut off his penis, any man would be tempted by impure thoughts. "Mmm!" Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan responded softly at the same time. Although they didn't raise their heads, a shy yet alluring blush appeared on their faces, clearly indicating that they knew what was about to happen. Zhang Dong's spirits lifted at the sight, and he immediately ran into the room. The room was dimly lit, and just looking at the enormous bed made Zhang Dong's erection throb. He thought: " With a bed this big, we could have all sorts of sex without any problem. I want a bed this big when I settle down; it 's so important for family harmony." Zhang Dong entered the bathroom and found it spacious and nicely decorated. The bathtub was enormous, at least four meters long. Who would believe that this wasn't a group sex parlor? No wonder Zhang Dong's wicked thoughts arose the moment he entered. He turned on the tap, seeing that the water wouldn't fill the bathtub anytime soon, so he lit a cigarette and looked . This look further convinced him that this "Heart of a Maiden" was actually a group sex room. He thought, "What's with the 'Heart of a Maiden ? 'Body of a Maiden' is more like it! " The enormous bathroom had massage beds, waterbeds, and even inflatable oil-soaked mattresses. Here, not only couples enjoy themselves, but a group of couples could find all sorts of comfortable spots, and every position they wanted was available. Scanning the surroundings, Zhang Dong spotted a door within a door. Opening it, he found a steam room inside. He thought, "Wow, this isn't a rip-off. Before, when they called it a luxury suite, it was just a . This place even has a steam room; it's definitely not just a simple group sex room." "Dong-ge, what are you looking at?" Chen Yuchun walked in at this moment. Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed for neglecting Zhang Dong while she was always on her phone, she immediately and enthusiastically took his arm, pressing her full, firm breasts against his chest. "There's even a steam room here, let's enjoy it later!" Zhang Dong grinned wickedly, and reached back to...

Zhang Dong patted Chen Yuchun's tender buttocks.

Seeing that Chen Yuchun didn't know what a steam room was, Zhang Dong immediately changed his tune, saying it could nourish the skin,
beautify, and detoxify, exaggerating its benefits.

Girls love beauty, and with Zhang Dong's words, how could Chen Yuchun resist? She immediately ran
outside to tell Chen Nan about this wonderful place, looking eager to try it.

It seemed their romantic getaway was in the works! Thinking this, Zhang Dong's lips curled into a lewd
smile.

To be honest, steam baths are a good way to maintain health, but they also have an erotic side. Everyone was
naked and sweating profusely inside; it would be strange if nothing happened under such circumstances.

Zhang Dong diligently prepared, adjusting the temperature and providing towels and essential
bottled .

At this moment, Chen Yuchun pulled a curious Chen Nan into the room. Seeing Zhang Dong with his pants down, his half-erect
penis waiting for them, they blushed, but weren't as shy as before. Having learned
from last night's experience, they were more relaxed.

Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan arrived at the steam room. The steam seeping through the crack in the door and the swirling smoke inside
surprised , but also excited them even more.

Seeing their interest, Zhang Dong embellished the story, touting the benefits of steam baths
and confidently claiming they were proven to have detoxifying and beautifying effects on girls, like eating a magic fruit.

Zhang Dong, a former hoodlum, possessed the skill of a silver tongue. After his boasting, the two girls were
swayed and ran out to get a change of clothes. Unfortunately, after re-entering the bathroom, they blushed and chased
Zhang Dong out, telling him to wait outside.

Zhang Dong was initially adamant in his refusal, but seeing Chen Yuchun's pitiful expression, he lost all will to
plead and eventually gave in to being asked to leave.

His dream of a romantic swim was dashed, and to make matters worse, Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan locked the bathroom door, leaving
Zhang Dong utterly exasperated. He could only sit on the sofa, smoking silently and texting to pass the time. After

the bathroom door closed for a while, Zhang Dong, lulled to sleep by the boring program, was yawning
when his phone vibrated, indicating a new message.

He opened his phone and was surprised to find it was a text from Chen Yuchun. He was slightly taken aback, as their
new phones were on the table. He thought, "So she's using her old phone to text?"

Zhang Dong then realized his oversight—he'd forgotten to get SIM cards for the two girls, yet they'd been playing with phones
without signal or internet for so long. He couldn't help but think, "How naive they are!"

Zhang Dong thought Chen Yuchun and her partner's requests were really simple. If it were him, he would have
smashed . Without signal and internet, even the best phone is no different from a brick, unless you can endure a boring
single-player game.

Chen Yuchun, perhaps being a bit sensitive, seemed worried that Zhang Dong would be upset, so she sent him a message to comfort him.
She explained that they both felt yesterday's encounter was a bit too intense, and their genitals were still swollen and sore. They were afraid Zhang Dong would want more, so
they didn't dare to shower together. Moreover, they felt it was embarrassing to shower together and didn't want Zhang Dong to see them, so they kicked him out.

Damn it, what's there to be shy about? But I like this kind of thing, so be shy. Making you play hard to
get is my responsibility. Zhang Dong's mood instantly brightened. After all, he wasn't a beast; he knew that lust
wasn't everything. Since they felt uncomfortable, Zhang Dong wouldn't force them. After all, this was just the
beginning , and they would definitely adapt and enjoy the feeling of being intimate with him in the future.

Zhang Dong was quite confident about this.

Just as Zhang Dong was feeling smug, Chen Yuchun sent another text message. The gist of it was that Chen Nan had never
been away from her mother for so long before, and wasn't feeling well today. She hoped Zhang Dong could
talk to Chen Nan and make her laugh, since Chen Nan had just lost her virginity and, even with the anti-inflammatory medication, was still uncomfortable. She added that if
Zhang Dong wanted, she could secretly satisfy him later that night.

What a clever girl! Zhang Dong couldn't help but smile as he read the message, his heart filled with warmth. After all, yesterday had been so
intense; even he felt a little weak when he woke up. How could Chen Yuchun have fared any better? But Chen Yuchun always considered
his feelings first. Beneath her carefree exterior lay a very delicate heart, which was incredibly touching.

A long time passed before the bathroom door creaked open, and Chen Yuchun and Chen
Nan emerged hand in hand, laughing and joking.

Both were wearing bathrobes, their wet hair casually draped over their shoulders, looking exceptionally charming.
Even though the bathrobes were loose and didn't show off Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan's figures, the refreshing feeling after bathing carried a charming
sexiness. The allure of the beauties emerging from the bath truly stunned Zhang Dong for a moment.

"Wow, our Nan Nan is so beautiful, Dong-ge, are you stunned?"

Chen Yuchun smiled charmingly, winking at Zhang Dong. This appearance completely concealed her sensitive
side.

Chen Nan immediately lowered her head shyly, then mustered her courage to raise her head again, looking at Zhang Dong with deep affection.
Chen Nan was a shy and introverted girl, not used to expressing her thoughts verbally, nor did she easily show her feelings
on her face. However, sometimes, this kind of gaze was more lethal to men than a thousand words.

Originally, Zhang Dong was full of interest in the couple's bathing, then disappointed, then relieved. Now,
seeing Chen Nan's pitiful appearance, his hardened heart had melted into tenderness. Besides pain, he felt pity, and
all his lust had transformed into pure love.

Of course, all of this was because he had already reached the peak of pleasure last night. Otherwise, even if Zhang Dong had a struggle with his desires,
he would have chosen not to have sex and instead focus on oral sex. How could he have resisted? In the heat of lust,
this was already a great act of tenderness.

"You two watch TV for a while, I'll go take a shower!"

Zhang Dong smiled gently, walking over and lovingly touching Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan's delicate faces, his eyes
filled with unspeakable affection.

Zhang Dong went into the bathroom, leaving the stunned Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan sitting on the sofa.

Zhang Dong's loving smile had left both of them speechless, their hearts filled with secret
joy. They didn't know how to express the indescribable feeling, but they both knew it was the sweetness of love. For them, who were
just beginning to experience this smile and this small gesture were no less sweet than any words.

After entering the bathroom, Zhang Dong naturally didn't have the leisure to enjoy a steam bath. He scrubbed himself clean and quickly rinsed off...
Clean, she came out in a bathrobe, but paused for a moment.

The living room lights were off, leaving only a pink wall lamp in the room. On the huge round bed, the blankets
were scattered haphazardly, and the pillows were laid out.

There was a sliver of light at one end of the bed, where Chen Nan was curled up under the covers playing on her new phone. It was clear that although she felt it was
a waste of money, she still couldn't give up the fun that high technology brought.

On the other side of the bed, Chen Yuchun was half-reclining, one small hand pulling the blanket to cover her body, her bare
shoulders and collarbone undoubtedly beckoning him to bed.

Seeing Zhang Dong come out, Chen Yuchun smiled gently, moved closer to him, and said coquettishly, "Brother Dong,
we're going back tomorrow, let's go to sleep early tonight."

Zhang Dong noticed that the slightly damp bathrobes were lying on the side of the bed, so he figured that both Chen Yuchun and Zhang Dong were
naked .

Chen Yuchun's gentle, sweet call sent a shiver down Zhang Dong's spine, stirring up lustful thoughts.
He wanted nothing more than to pounce on the bed, but upon closer inspection, a warm feeling washed over him. The thoughtful care she showed almost brought
tears to his eyes.

The bedside table was neatly arranged. Zhang Dong's phone was already charging, and cigarettes and a lighter were also
there. An ashtray sat nearby, along with an unopened bottle of mineral water—a thoughtful touch, presumably in case Zhang Dong
was thirsty after his steam bath.

"Little girl, let's sleep,"

Zhang Dong said, feeling a surge of warmth. Looking at Chen Yuchun gazing at him, he even had
a fleeting impulse to marry her.

Chen Yuchun nodded shyly and happily. This thoughtfulness was enough to make Zhang Dong momentarily stunned; she was already incredibly
content . She shifted her body slightly, gesturing for Zhang Dong to sleep in the middle.

Pillows and blankets were already prepared. Zhang Dong took off his bathrobe, strode onto the bed, pulled up
the blanket , and looked at the charming and alluring Chen Yuchun on his left, and the shy yet
affectionate Chen Nan on his right. His already aroused desire had been melted by their gentleness.

Driven by his thoughts, Zhang Dong's hands, which had been restless under the covers, reached out towards the two women
. The skin he touched was smooth and pink, and he could feel their bodies
trembling instinctively. However, Zhang Dong did not act lewdly as they expected. He gently pulled them closer, and with their
compliant cooperation, he pulled their naked bodies towards him.

The two girls seemed to have been prepared, slipping into Zhang Dong's bed from either side and nestling in his arms.
For them, their blankets were merely a layer of modesty, a cover for their shame. In truth, they preferred this embrace;
setting aside any erotic undertones, it offered a sense of peace. The warmth of Zhang Dong's embrace captivated them
.

Zhang Dong held Chen Yuchun and the other woman close, taking a deep breath to steady himself. Even though his blood was boiling, rushing to
his genitals , and his manhood was resoundingly erect, his hands, after touching their shoulders, didn't reach for their alluring breasts. Instead, they slowly groped down their arms, their final target being their small hands,
which they seemed unsure of where to place . Zhang Dong turned to look at Chen Yuchun and the other woman, boldly meeting their gazes, their eyes revealing the unspoken emotions within each other. The three men's fingers groped in the darkness. When Zhang Dong accurately grasped Chen Yuchun's small hands, he immediately intertwined his fingers, holding them tightly. This caused Chen Yuchun and the other woman to tremble instinctively gripping Zhang Dong's hands with increasing force, as if afraid of losing him if they let go. Zhang Dong could clearly feel Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan's rapid breathing due to joy. He suddenly pulled , making them hug him from the side, and said softly, "Alright, let's sleep like this tonight. Dong-ge's self-control has never been very good, so you two have to keep an eye on me. If you don't hold on tight, Dong-ge might do something naughty." At this moment, both Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan were sleeping facing Zhang Dong, their beautiful breasts pressing against his arms, almost touching his chest, making Zhang Dong's crotch throb powerfully. However, Zhang Dong's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes looked at them with tenderness. That immense tenderness and this romantic gesture made Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan feel weak all over, almost melting. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan murmured an "Mmm," immediately closed their eyes, and rested their heads on Zhang Dong's shoulders. In this blissful moment, both Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan couldn't help but smile, intoxicated and lost in this happiness. Their intertwined fingers conveyed boundless love, making them eager to fall asleep in this warm embrace. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan smiled sweetly and gently, pressing their bodies together as if afraid of losing this embrace if they loosened their grip, their intertwined fingers tightening even more. Their breaths brushed against Zhang Dong's skin, their sleeping smiles deeply moving. However, Zhang Dong's eyes widened in surprise as their beautiful breasts pressed against his body, and even the usually shy Chen Nan unabashedly straddled him with her beautiful legs. Being entwined by their bodies, the mere touch of their soft skin was enough to make Zhang Dong's erection nearly explode. Zhang Dong thought: Wait a minute… this isn't how the story should be going! These two girls have been watching a lot of those kinds of films lately. Logically, they should at least understand some so-called "wicked" ideas. At the very least, they should know that it's incredibly painful ! But Chen Yuchun and the other girl are sleeping soundly, even snoring softly. Zhang Dong, in a fit of rage, thought to himself: "No, no, this isn't how the story is supposed to go! How can they sleep so peacefully ? After being moved, shouldn't they be shy yet boldly offering themselves? Shouldn't a girl moved by love abandon her reserve and let her lover have his fill? This plot is just wrong!" Zhang Dong felt like crying but had no tears. His hands were tightly clasped together by Chen Yuchun and her companion, their youthful, pink bodies pressed against him, yet he remained unusually docile. He thought to himself, "This night is damn not sensual at all." Tears welled in his eyes as he stared at the ceiling, then at the two women sleeping peacefully on either side of him, their faces beaming with happiness. He could only endure it. Even lying flat, Zhang Dong could see the intensity of his erection, a huge bulge forming on the blanket. But there was nothing he could do but endure it. Zhang Dong could feel the alcohol taking effect, even his manhood stiffening almost to the point of spasm, his testicles hardening.

Zhang Dong thought to himself: Adult films are all lies! Shouldn't the actresses be abandoning their reserve out of emotion at this point,
trying their best to satisfy the male actor, using every trick in the book to meet his intense sexual needs? But the current situation is that they
not show no sign of doing so, but are sleeping soundly. This… where the hell can I reason with this! A silent
scream accompanied by curses echoed in Zhang Dong's mind, but he had no other choice but to stare blankly.
The two women in his arms, Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuchun, were already sleeping soundly, and this was not the time to let his animalistic desires run wild. Even though his manhood was as hard as iron,
Zhang Dong could only… endure it.

Zhang Dong was almost in tears, holding the two naked women, Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuchun, but he didn't dare to move at all, thinking:
It seems that it is destined to be another sleepless night.

Damn it, this is not right! Zhang Dong stared blankly, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Chapter Two, Long-Awaited Reunion

Finally, Zhang Dong fell asleep numbly. The next day, Zhang Dong unusually didn't sleep until midnight, waking up yawning around 10 o'clock
.

The room still held the lingering scent of Chen Yuchun and her companion. Zhang Dong could detect a natural
fragrance , but unfortunately, he couldn't see them when he woke up, let alone their jade-like legs and beautiful breasts that had nearly driven him mad the night before.

Zhang Dong felt nothing but admiration for Chen Yuchun and her companion's excellent sleep schedule, but he regretted never
having seen them sleeping or their adorable morning antics.

He still hadn't experienced the feeling of Chen Yuchun and her companion snuggling against him in the morning
, a lingering unease in his heart.

What a pity! Zhang Dong couldn't help but sigh, thinking: "I can't even give them a good morning kiss. Looks like I need to
break my habit of sleeping in."

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and changing into his workout clothes, Zhang Dong, wearing slippers and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, walked out of the bedroom .
He was thinking of going back to sleep, but after washing his face, he found himself yawning repeatedly. He had been full of energy when
he woke up, but now, after washing up, he felt sleepy, perhaps because he was used to sleeping in
.

At that moment, Chen Yuchun and her companion were sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing while watching TV. They had packed their meager
luggage—just a few clothes—but they had
packed it , making it feel nothing like a hotel.

"Brother Dong, you're awake?"

Chen Yuchun turned and looked at Zhang Dong with a shocked expression, seemingly finding it quite
an honor .

Chen Nan smiled gently, saying nothing, but she moved aside to make room for Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong, without any hesitation, plopped down on the chair, his hand already around Chen Nan's waist. He chuckled, "What's wrong?
You're not used to Dong-ge waking up so early?"

"A little!"

Before Chen Yuchun could even be playful, Chen Nan nodded earnestly, her serious expression making Zhang Dong and Chen Yuchun burst
into laughter .

"Help me pack my things. I'll make a few phone calls, and then we'll head back."

After a few jokes with the two girls, Zhang Dong realized he also had quite a few things to take, and for some reason,
he naturally started ordering them around.

The girls were early risers, and the mornings were quite leisurely. They washed and dried their and Zhang Dong's clothes
, but they didn't touch Zhang Dong's things. After all, Zhang Dong's bag always contained a lot of money, and perhaps
some important items. They were afraid of causing trouble due to carelessness, so they generally wouldn't touch them without permission.

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's casual tone, Chen Yuchun and the other woman were both taken aback. They then obediently helped Zhang Dong unpack
his luggage , a blush rising on their faces. The feeling of being like wives helping their husbands
was novel and exciting to them.

The two women worked carefully, their nervous expressions particularly endearing. Perhaps it was Zhang Dong's
casual tone that made them feel unprecedentedly valued; so even though he was ordering them around,
they perceived it as a unique kind of intimacy.

Zhang Dong casually propped his feet up on the coffee table, picked up his phone, and after a moment's thought, decided to call Zhang Yong first.

He usually couldn't get through to Zhang Yong, but today the call went through immediately, which made him feel awkward.

"Da Dong, you're up?" As soon as the call connected, Zhang Yong's puzzled voice came through, seemingly finding it unbelievable that

he was receiving a call from Zhang Dong at this hour . "Boss, we're getting ready to go back to Xiaoli Town." Zhang Dong thought for a moment and asked, "Once all the paperwork is done, have the lawyer find someone to bring it to me! Auntie's health isn't good, and Nan Nan is a little worried. I need to go back with her first to see what's wrong with her ." "Xiao Lin will handle those things, you don't need to worry." Zhang Yong pondered for a moment and then instructed, "If Auntie's health isn't good, you have to take good care of her, understand? Use the best doctors and medicine, even for a cold, you can't be careless. Depending on the condition, I'll use my connections to find a local hospital. If she needs to be transferred to a larger hospital, I can also make arrangements. In short, you have to be attentive and not lazy, understand?" Zhang Yong rarely nagged like this, and he had become even more taciturn in recent years. But after all, his stepmother was like his own mother, and now that it involved a worry that had weighed on her mind before her death, he couldn't help but nag a bit . Moreover, his usually composed tone even carried a hint of nervousness. "I understand, is there anything else?" Zhang Dong replied earnestly. Zhang Dong knew Zhang Yong's character well; at the very least, his respect for Chen Xiulian was unquestionable. To be honest, Zhang Yong was even more filial to his mother than he was. "Wait, there's one more thing. Go and find out about the situation in Songshan for a while," Zhang Yong said, seemingly remembering something. "I'll be going to Xiaoli Town in a while. I 'll introduce . With him protecting you, you can kill or set fires in Xiaoli Town without any problem. Songshan is on the edge of Xiaoli Town, near the city center. Just ask around; it's easy to find out. I have to go to a meeting now. I'll let you know when I'm about to leave." With that, Zhang Yong, true to his bureaucratic style of dealing with important people, hung up the phone without giving Zhang Dong a chance . Zhang Dong hadn't even understood what he meant. When the dial tone came through, he couldn't help but curse inwardly: "This boss's style is really annoying! If you're going to give instructions, at least be clear about them! This is ridiculous!"

"A fortune teller? Do you know anything about Songshan? Damn it, at least tell me what Songshan is! Is it a mountain, a sauna
, a KTV, or something? The nightclub next to the hotel is called Huaishan! And what do you want me to
know You
can't just have me stand there like an idiot just because there's a place called Songshan!

" Zhang Yong's words were nonsensical, and Zhang Dong was completely confused. He didn't know what Zhang Yong wanted him to do; this kind of
vague talk seemed like he was trying to be profound.

But despite his internal cursing, his elder brother's authority was still there, and Zhang Yong had a lot of important things to deal with. Zhang Dong
didn't dare call again to ask questions; it seemed he could only wait for Zhang Yong's call.

However, Zhang Dong genuinely didn't know what Songshan was. He thought: "That godforsaken place, Xiaoli Town, has something that
could attract the boss's attention? That's truly a strange thing." The boss was an unfathomable figure,
someone whose mere words carried immense influence, even in major projects like the Urban Construction Group and the large-scale development of the old city district of the provincial capital. Why would he be
interested in Songshan?

Although displeased, Zhang Dong kept Zhang Yong's words to himself: with the boss's position, embezzlement would
be easy for him. Since he said so, Songshan should be taken seriously.

While Zhang Dong was on the phone, Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan had finished packing. They looked surprised
because these things weren't clothes, but rather strangely packaged items that looked very valuable, making
them somewhat reserved.

The two women didn't open them to see what they were, but they were quite heavy,
making their suitcases too heavy for them to lift.

Although curious, the two women didn't ask many questions. Besides their affection for Zhang Dong, they also felt
a shy respect for him; at least they could restrain their curiosity born of affection.

Chen Yuchun and the other woman were eager to learn more about Zhang Dong, but they wouldn't touch his things without permission. Even though they were curious,
they
maintained a certain level of respect. Perhaps in their hearts, the added mystery surrounding their man made him even more attractive.

During his trip to the provincial capital, Zhang Dong acquired many valuable items, including numerous
high- . Carrying them back wouldn't be safe, so after some hesitation, Zhang Dong called a bank
account manager and decided to rent a safe. After all, there was nowhere safe to store them in Xiaoli Town, and carrying
so many things back would be troublesome.

Zhang Dong didn't inquire about the value of these collectibles, as they belonged to his father and,
according , should be passed down as family heirlooms. Since he couldn't touch them, Zhang Dong had no interest. However, one shouldn't flaunt wealth;
carrying these things around was foolish. After all, it's not just theft that's worrisome, but also theft.

Zhang Dong divided his father's belongings into two parts: one part consisted of his own items—also intended as
family heirlooms , mostly jewelry such as jade and gemstones, and several gold chains as thick as dog chains. In
the jargon
of that circle , these were considered "chick magnets." Wearing them instantly gave off a nouveau riche vibe—rich, naive, and girls would automatically gravitate towards you.

Another item, supposedly acquired as debt settlement, was a diverse collection. Zhang Dong's father had sponsored many friends,
but not everyone could run a successful business like Long Die. Some business failures
left the debts as bad debts, which were then settled with assets. The real estate and equipment had already been sold off by Zhang Dong's father; the rest
were antiques, jade, and other precious stones—the kind with volatile prices and questionable authenticity
. They could fetch a high price if a suitable buyer was found, but their value was uncertain.
There always had to be a buyer for a market.

Zhang Dong's father, cautious and not wanting to be scammed, and being wealthy, hadn't touched the items after acquiring them. However, Zhang Yong
had them authenticated; the fakes were discarded, and only the high-quality items with certificates from renowned experts remained—these
were the ones that could be sold.

As for the price, he'd wait until a suitable buyer came along. Zhang Dong didn't know much about amber, jade carvings, antiques, etc.,
but with so many items, he didn't want to rush into a sale. After all, the
combined was probably not low. Even if the price was low, the weight was still over a hundred kilograms, so even selling by weight
wouldn't be much cheaper.

What really bothered Zhang Dong was a bronze Guanyin statue that his family used to have, supposedly worth at least four million yuan.
He'd been hanging around there every day, yet he hadn't realized it was valuable—he was truly blind!

According to Long's father, Zhang Dong's father had borrowed 300,000 yuan to buy a perfectly good Xuande incense burner. The incense burner
looked unremarkable, and Zhang Dong's father thought he'd been ripped off and didn't pay much attention. However, three or four years later, he inquired and found out
that someone had offered two million yuan for the Ming Dynasty incense burner, but Zhang Dong's father hadn't sold it.

Antiques appreciate in value exceptionally quickly, especially in this era where hot money is everywhere. Zhang Dong didn't know how much these
items were worth, but he decided to keep them for now. He absolutely couldn't sell them cheaply unless he needed the money. Therefore,
Zhang Dong chose to preserve them; after all, suddenly having so much money had left him somewhat overwhelmed.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang!"

The account manager on the other end of the phone was frighteningly enthusiastic. Even though they hadn't exchanged many words, he was as friendly as if
chatting with an old acquaintance.

Of course, the account manager would address any client who called him, regardless of who they were, as "Boss.

" "Hello!"

Zhang Dong felt a little uncomfortable. His contact with this account manager was mostly about credit card applications, often due to
credit card overdraft notifications. At most, the manager would lukewarmly try to sell him financial products or insurance. Back
then, Zhang Dong was poor, and he was too lazy to push anything, and he didn't want to engage with him anyway.

Once Zhang Dong explained his purpose, the account manager became even more enthusiastic, immediately patting his chest to guarantee it would be no problem. He said
he would go to the head office right away to open a special VIP safe for Zhang Dong, exaggerating that the safe would remain intact even if
the world ended.

Zhang Dong was puzzled by the account manager's enthusiastic attitude, but since things could be handled smoothly, he
didn't dwell on it. After arranging a time, there was nothing else to discuss.

After checking that Chen Yuchun and the other woman's luggage was packed and confirmed that nothing was missing, the three of them went downstairs.

When they arrived at the hotel lobby and went to check out, Zhang Dong discovered that someone else had paid for their accommodation. After asking the manager
, he learned that it was Long's father who had been to a nightclub the night before and had paid for it.

That old geezer, his son is lying in a hospital bed, and he still has the mind to go out and have fun. I wonder if he's really incompetent.
The woman his son had slept with—the father and son, who were perfectly fine, suddenly became cousins. Zhang Dong cursed inwardly, but
thinking that Long's father had such thoughts, it proved that Long's illness wasn't too serious. As long as he didn't have any psychological trauma, he
'd probably unleash his beastly nature again by the end of the year.

"Brother Dong, are we going back?" After the three of them got into the taxi, Chen Nan asked eagerly, after all, she
was concerned about her mother and didn't want to stay a moment longer.

"I'll go to the bank first and book the tickets, so we don't have to wait at the station."

Zhang Dong fiddled with his phone for a while, first notifying Xu Hanlan and Lin Yan that he was going back, and also
booking his return tickets. He also called Long, since he was leaving and wouldn't have time to see him for the next couple of days,
he had to let him know, but Long didn't answer the phone. Zhang Dong could only send a text message, after all, they were brothers who had grown up together since they were little kids
, even if Zhang Dong didn't want to talk to Long right now, he still had to let him know.

Upon arriving at the head office, the account manager was already waiting eagerly. He was an account manager at a small branch,
with limited resources, and his daily work consisted mainly of selling financial products.

As soon as Zhang Dong arrived, the account manager's eyes lit up, and his attitude became as enthusiastic as if he were meeting a father-in-law, immediately
ushering Zhang Dong and his party into the VIP area.

Banks always have long queues, and Chen Yuchun and her companion were initially a little reserved, but
their expressions changed to surprise as they entered the VIP area with Zhang Dong.

The procedures for opening a safe deposit box were not troublesome, and the fees could be paid directly with a credit card, which was quite convenient.

After completing the formalities and storing his father's belongings, Zhang Dong felt relieved and wanted to leave quickly, but
the account manager pestered him again, trying to sell him financial products.

Seeing the account manager's enthusiasm, Zhang Dong gave perfunctory responses.

Only when the account manager realized Zhang Dong wasn't very enthusiastic did he stop, instead
subtly asking Zhang Dong if he wanted to apply for a VIP card.

The small branch where the account manager worked had deposit targets, and Zhang Dong's dividend card was opened there.
Now the money seemed to have arrived, the account manager was particularly eager to keep the deposit at the branch.

Zhang Dong immediately felt conflicted. He planned to transfer some of the money out, since the withdrawal fees in Xiaoli Town
were too high; he couldn't just spend the account manager's money for the sake of his performance targets.

Before, when the card had no money, Zhang Dong was just an ordinary customer. Now that he had more money and received more
attention , the account manager's attitude towards him was completely different. Although this gave Zhang Dong a sense of being treated like royalty,
he inevitably had to consider practicality.

"Don't worry, our platinum card doesn't charge any fees."

Seeing Zhang Dong's apparent hesitation, the account manager immediately launched into a detailed explanation: "You just
need to upgrade your account and apply for a VIP credit card. With this card, withdrawals and transfers at our bank
will be free. Your savings will remain in your main account, and for expenses,
you can withdraw cash or transfer funds without incurring any unnecessary costs."

Zhang Dong was tempted and, following the account manager's advice, completed the procedures for a supplementary card and online banking.

This trip had wasted an hour, so Zhang Dong had to abandon his idea of buying souvenirs and
take Chen Yuchun and the other two women to the highway bus station.

The three of them arrived at the bus station at just the right time, at least avoiding the sweaty, smelly
lobby before boarding the bus.

Buses in the provincial capital are divided into different classes, with different prices depending on the class. This time, Zhang Dong didn't want to take a regular
minibus but rather a luxury bus like the Eurostar.

Once on the bus, the spacious seats and comfortable environment were quite pleasant. The only downside was that it was full, so
there was no choice of seats. Chen Yuchun and her companion sat together, while Zhang Dong could only sit in front of them watching their luggage.

Unexpectedly, the bus was packed. Zhang Dong had to abandon his idea of flirting with Chen Yuchun and her companion, thinking: "
The timing is bad, the circumstances are unfavorable, and everyone's on my side. I'd better behave myself."

Soon, the bus entered the highway and sped towards Xiaoli Town.

Next to Zhang Dong sat a middle-aged woman. Her face was
as , making Zhang Dong too embarrassed to turn around and joke with Chen Yuchun and her companion. So he simply took out his new
phone and started fiddling with it.

Chen Yuchun and her companion did the same, chatting and laughing while playing with their new phones.

"Sigh, such playthings are a waste of time," Zhang Dong thought. "If I had a car, I wouldn't mind letting them play something else while I drive.
At least that 'other thing' is good for population growth."

Along the way, Zhang Dong texted Lin Yan and Xu Hanlan. Lin Yan was accompanying the mute aunt to the town hospital for a checkup,
while Xu Hanlan was in a busy meeting. However, Xu Hanlan's tone was awkward, as if she had some reservations, and she spoke
vaguely , which puzzled Zhang Dong. Fortunately,

as soon as Xu Hanlan heard that Zhang Dong was coming back, she immediately promised to pick them up.

The Eurostar bus stopped in a neighboring town. No one wanted to go to the dilapidated station in Xiaoli Town.
Xu Hanlan had a car, so at least they wouldn't have to take an unlicensed taxi.

The four-hour journey made everyone drowsy. When they got off the highway, Zhang Dong rubbed
his eyes and woke up. It was already afternoon, and the sun was scorching.

After the car entered the city, it quickly arrived at the station. The three of them got off the bus,
still and had barely shaken their heads when they saw Xu Hanlan.

"You're back?"

Xu Hanlan walked over with a smile. Her light pink business suit accentuated her beautiful figure, exuding a
sophisticated yet alluring charm. Black stockings encased her long legs, and black high heels with gold trim added a touch
of poise and elegance. A pair of black-rimmed glasses framed her pretty face, radiating an intellectual gentleness. Her slight smile was
captivating.

Xu Hanlan's OL outfit was eye-catching and captivating. Passersby, young and old, couldn't help but stare at
her. That mature and intellectual beauty was indeed rare. Although the two young girls were dressed sweetly and cutely,
compared to Xu Hanlan, they lacked that mature woman's allure.

Both styles had their merits and their own allure, but overall, the allure of a strong woman
was more intense and direct. At least for men, the first thing that would make them fantasize was Xu Hanlan, a
mature and charming beauty.

"Ugh, my back is killing me," Zhang Dong said, his eyes darting around Xu Hanlan as he stretched and
feigned exhaustion.

"Hello, Principal."

Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan, being students, were somewhat reserved when they saw Xu Hanlan, but still politely
greeted her. They weren't familiar with Xu Hanlan, but since she was the principal, they were naturally quite
nervous .

"These two children are your sisters, right? They're very cute. Let's go first, we can talk on the way."

The weather was sweltering, with waves of heat almost making one faint. Xu Hanlan couldn't
stand it for long before she could even exchange a few polite words.

"Come on, let's get in the car."

Zhang Dong didn't stand on ceremony anymore, because he was really uncomfortable; he was drenched in sweat after standing for only a short while.

Zhang Dong and his group got into the old Honda, and after starting the car, they drove towards Xiaoli Town.

Xu Hanlan seemed to be avoiding something, not speaking to Zhang Dong in the driver's seat, but instead making small talk with Chen Yuchun and
Chen Nan about academic performance, their homeroom teacher, and class content—basically
, trying to change the subject.

But Zhang Dong was yawning constantly and didn't bother to ask Xu Hanlan anything.

Back in Xiaoli Town, the car stopped in front of Lin Yan's restaurant.

Xu Hanlan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Zhang Dong, I'll pick you up tonight to go to the city for dinner. My dad
's been waiting anxiously for news of you."

"Okay, see you tonight," Zhang Dong replied casually, his mind preoccupied with Aunt Ya, and led Chen Yuchun and the other woman
into the restaurant.

A familiar older woman was at the counter. Zhang Dong asked her what was going on and learned that not only Lin Yan, but also Lin Ling had
accompanied Aunt Ya to the hospital. Although it wasn't anything serious, they
had gone to the hospital together for some peace and quiet because Chen Dashan and Chen De had been visiting the area these past few days.

After getting the key to the third floor from the woman and leaving their things, Zhang Dong contacted Lin Yan, and the three of them went to the hospital.
Aunt Ya's condition was alright; she didn't need to be hospitalized yet and was receiving an IV drip. Only Lin Yan was by her bedside; Lin Ling
was out shopping.

"You're back!"

Lin Yan greeted Zhang Dong gently upon seeing him, her tone somewhat similar to Xu Hanlan's, though she said
"you," while Xu Hanlan said "you all," conveying a different kind of concern.

Lin Yan was dressed simply today, in a well-fitting black dress, her long wavy hair casually styled, and
silver slippers, exuding a subtle, alluring charm.

Compared to her usual fiery and captivating attire, this Lin Yan gave off a more wifely vibe, appearing gentle
yet somewhat weary, instantly making Zhang Dong feel a pang of sympathy.

"Yes, I'm back!"

Zhang Dong stepped forward and took Lin Yan's hand, everything unspoken.

Lin Yan smiled happily, her eyes slightly red, but she was a strong woman after all. Despite
being overwhelmed by longing for the first time, she maintained her composure; after all, she couldn't just
rush .

"Mom, are you alright?" Chen Nan rushed to the bedside as soon as she entered, asking with earnest concern.

Perhaps to avoid feeling jealous, Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan greeted Lin Yan and then deliberately avoided
watching the intimate gestures between Zhang Dong and Lin Yan.

Although the mute aunt was on an IV drip, she was in good spirits, especially when she saw Chen Nan return, dressed so
beautifully. She smiled happily, took Chen Nan's hand, and gestured, which Chen Nan returned in
unintelligible sign language.

Chen Yuchun felt awkward, thinking, "This is a mother and daughter reuniting; I'm just disturbing them
. I'd rather stay home and sleep."

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Dong and Lin Yan went to the doctor's office to inquire about the mute aunt's condition.

Although she didn't need hospitalization and seemed to be fine, after some consultation, Zhang Dong frowned
, and even Lin Yan, who already had a premonition, couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Ya's illness wasn't serious. She suffered from malnutrition when she gave birth to Chen Nan years ago, given the poor living
conditions Her postpartum recovery was inadequate, and her subsequent life was filled with hardship and depression,
leaving her with chronic ailments. While not extremely severe, it was troublesome because it was a long-standing condition. Treatments
that didn't cause significant pain or discomfort were ineffective over time. There was one method that was quick and effective, but it required the family's consent:
a minor surgery. The

surgery involved removing the eroded and diseased parts, combined with traditional Chinese medicine. This two-pronged approach would be much more effective. However, this surgery had a serious consequence: loss of fertility. Therefore, Lin Yan had never dared to tell Aunt Ya the truth; for a woman, this was a devastating blow. Hearing this, Zhang Dong finally understood that Aunt Ya's illness was a gynecological problem. In Lin Yan's view, Aunt Ya was still young and might meet a suitable person to live . If she couldn't have children, her life might not be happy. Although Aunt Mute already had Chen Nan as her daughter, people are selfish, especially in rural areas where the preference for sons is very strong. Lin Yan had to consider this for her, but she wasn't in a position to persuade her or make decisions for her. These things could only be discussed when Zhang Dong returned. "If she already has a child but doesn't plan to have more, this is actually the best solution," the old doctor said casually, adjusting his glasses. "We've performed this surgery many times; we can guarantee there are no risks. She overworked herself in her early years, resulting in many complications and severe inflammation. The best solution is to remove the affected part in one go. Otherwise, with her weak body, she'll definitely suffer later. I heard she has a daughter. If she doesn't plan to have more children, the best solution is surgery. Otherwise, if it's too late and causes other complications, even major surgery might not be able to cure her." Lin Yan and Zhang Dong remained silent, their expressions grave. "It's just a minor surgery. You family members can discuss it yourselves," someone called to the old doctor, who then left to attend to his work. The most specialized departments at Xiaoli Town Hospital are gynecology and obstetrics, whose achievements surpass those of some hospitals in large cities . Other departments have become largely secondary. This elderly doctor is the vice president and an authority figure. Lin Yan only managed to find her through connections, and this conclusion was reached after a comprehensive examination, so it shouldn't be problematic. "She's your aunt, you decide this. Although I'm a woman, I'm not suited to talk to her," Lin Yan said after a moment's thought. "Da Dong, Aunt Ya is a woman with little opinion of her own. I've heard..."

Nan Nan said she'd been feeling unwell for years. "If you're thinking of her, I think surgery would be the best option,
but that would prevent her from having children, and finding a partner would be a problem. You'd better help her make a decision, or try to persuade her."
"Let me think about it!"

Actually, it wasn't a difficult matter, but Zhang Dong and the mute aunt had only recently met, and how to bring it up
was a problem. After all, they were relatives, but had little contact and no blood relation. Besides, it was
a women's ailment, involving childbirth, so he couldn't bring himself to speak rashly.
It's awkward for a grown man to talk about gynecology and women's diseases so casually; Zhang Dong wasn't thick-skinned enough to chat with the mute aunt so openly.

Both Zhang Dong and the mute aunt were conflicted and filled with worry, which temporarily overshadowed the joy of their reunion.

In the evening, the mute aunt finished her IV drip. Since it was just anti-inflammatory medication, she could go home afterward.

Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan supported the mute aunt on either side, while Lin Yan and Zhang Dong walked behind, discussing the matter.
Ultimately, however, the decision rested with the mute aunt herself. The mute aunt was very stubborn about her illness, only concerned about the small amount of money spent . She considered

injections and medicine unnecessary, thinking it was nothing and could be endured. She was already reluctant to see a doctor, still wanting to repay Lin Yan. If Lin Yan knew she needed surgery and would incur additional costs, she certainly wouldn't agree. The mute aunt lacked assertiveness, but having lived a hard life, she was quite frugal when it came to money—to put it nicely thrifty; to put it bluntly, stingy. Convincing her to have surgery was risky because she might be reluctant to spend the money. The group returned to the restaurant. Lin Yan greeted the staff at the counter and led Zhang Dong and the others upstairs. Lin Yan hadn't been in the mood for business lately, hiring people to manage it. Several familiar faces at the counter were now bustling about. Along the way, Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun cheerfully told the mute aunt about their trip to the provincial capital. The mute aunt smiled happily, especially seeing Chen Nan dressed like a little princess. Lin Yan winked at Zhang Dong and said, "Da Dong, I have something to talk to you about." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out, and Zhang Dong followed. Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy . They knew perfectly well what the two, separated for so long, were going to do; they weren't naive children anymore. Although Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan both thought Zhang Dong and Lin Yan were a good match, it was impossible not to feel jealous . After all, they also liked Zhang Dong, but they couldn't say it to either of them. Lin Yan walked ahead of Zhang Dong, her full, shapely buttocks swaying with each step, making Zhang Dong drool and yearn to pin her against the wall and thrust into her from behind. Lin Yan opened the door, and after they entered the room, Zhang Dong slammed the door shut with a loud bang , startling Lin Yan. This was Zhang Dong's room, and also the place where they had their first time together. A man and a woman alone in a room— what happened next was self-evident. "What are you doing? You scared me to death..." Before Lin Yan could finish speaking, Zhang Dong suddenly hugged her and kissed her, his tongue licking her sexy, alluring lips. Lin Yan let out a soft moan, her body went limp, and she looked at Zhang Dong with spring-like eyes, then offered her delicate tongue for him to savor. The first separation, even if it was only for a few days, was agonizing. Zhang Dong and Lin Yan embraced and kissed , and because Lin Yan held him so tightly, Zhang Dong couldn't touch her at all. Their bodies were pressed together, and Zhang Dong could feel her fiery curves and soft, warm flesh, instantly making his blood boil. After a passionate kiss, both of them were panting. Lying on the bed, Zhang Dong couldn't wait to undress Lin Yan, but as soon as his hand reached out, Lin Yan grabbed it. Lin Yan's face was flushed, but a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes. She shook her head and said in a barely audible voice, "No, no, I'm on my period." Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong's head buzzed, as if struck by lightning. He froze , his face contorted with misery. He straightened his back and rubbed his lower body against her thigh, saying, "Really? Look at me now." " Looks like you didn't do anything reckless after you went back." Seeing Zhang Dong's bitter expression, Lin Yan giggled, sat up, tidied her disheveled hair, and said with a smile as warm as spring, "I thought you'd met up with an old flame this time! One kiss and you're this hard. Looks like our Dong- gege is an honest man!" "What old flame?!" Zhang Dong was startled, but outwardly pretended to be depressed, thinking: I don't have any old flames, but I do have two new ones. If they weren't so young, I would have exhausted myself on them long ago. How can I still get hard now! Zhang Dong felt relieved; women who don't get jealous are truly ancient creatures. Lin Yan seemed carefree, but she could get jealous too. It seemed she cared about him a lot. Even though she was on her period, she still spent time alone with him. Although it seemed like she was teasing him, this small action revealed her feelings. It was like a girl in her first love being affectionate with her man, treasuring this belated sweetness. "Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Yan smiled charmingly. Seeing Zhang Dong's depressed expression, her heart softened. She leaned closer and smiled at the large tent in Zhang Dong's pants. "Definitely, I'm going to suffocate." Zhang Dong groaned weakly, "But I'm not some beast who'd wash his silver spear in blood. Forget it, forget it , I still have my years of hard-earned oar skills. Back in the day, I was the national freestyle oar championship! Yanzi, I can't stand you staying here any longer. Go out for a bit, I'll deal with this mental demon and quickly regain my humanity." "Why are you being so cheeky?" Lin Yan was amused and giggled, giving Zhang Dong a charmingly glaring look before slowly climbing onto the bed. She said sweetly, "Okay, I started this fire, I'll make it up to you, but you have to promise me you won't do anything reckless." She didn't need to ask how 'd make it up, because Lin Yan had already pulled down Zhang Dong's pants. When that incredibly hard, enormous thing stood menacingly before her, Lin Yan's breathing quickened. Perhaps because it was so close, his manhood slapped her face, and the masculine scent wafted over, making Lin Yan momentarily infatuated. "You wretched thing!" Lin Yan gasped slightly, her slender hand gripping his manhood, its hardness trembling.

It was as if she were expressing another kind of longing, warming her heart, her voice so sweet it made his whole body go numb.

"Yanzi, move a little." Zhang Dong groaned with pleasure, immediately trembling as he expressed his desire, putting on an
extremely anxious look.

Actually, Zhang Dong wasn't really pent up, but the allure Lin Yan brought was different from that of Chen Yuchun and the other two women. Just her
intoxicated gaze at his genitals, that charming look, was enough to ignite any man's hormonal impulses.

Seemingly satisfied with Zhang Dong's eagerness, Lin Yan, her eyes hazy with desire, gently parted Zhang Dong's
legs with her hands, then lowered her head, grasping his penis and gently stroking it, her soft, delicate tongue licking the glans.

The smooth, warm sensation washed over him, and Zhang Dong groaned with pleasure, his body
trembling . "Is it comfortable?" Lin Yan asked tentatively while licking the glans with her tongue, after all,
she was also quite inexperienced in matters of love and needed Zhang Dong's encouragement and affirmation.

"It feels good, Yanzi, take it in!" Zhang Dong whispered with his eyes closed, impatiently pressing
Lin Yan's head with one hand.

Lin Yan understood and took the glans into her mouth, gently sucking and teasing it with her tongue.

Although Lin Yan's movements were inexperienced, they were incredibly gentle. Her soft, fragrant tongue traced a figure eight along the glans,
playfully touching the urethral opening with the tip, occasionally licking the coronal sulcus, all the while secretly observing Zhang Dong's
reaction . "Yanzi, yes, that's it, it feels good!" Zhang Dong hummed, stroking Lin Yan's disheveled hair with both hands.

Encouraged, Lin Yan's face flushed, her small hands continuing to stroke his penis, swallowing and releasing it, her
long, sexy waves of hair dancing in the air with the movement of her head, her small mouth tightly holding his hard penis,
making smacking sounds as she swallowed.

Lin Yan was putting in extra effort, as if she wanted to vent all her longing for Zhang Dong through these wild movements.

"Ah... Yanzi, take... take off your clothes, I want to touch you and cum!"

Zhang Dong groaned with pleasure. Although Lin Yan's swallowing technique was still somewhat inexperienced, her wild attitude alone was enough to
make him want to climax.

Lin Yan continued to suck on his penis, but upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, a soft light flashed in her eyes. She raised her head, knelt up
, and said softly, "Da Dong, I really hate that I'm on my period right now, otherwise I would definitely make you
love me properly."

"I will, I will always love you." Zhang Dong also sat up, panting heavily,
looking at .

Lin Yan smiled charmingly, and to her, the lust in Zhang Dong's eyes was no different from love.

Lin Yan slowly removed the straps of her dress, perhaps afraid she might lose control and become aroused.
She didn't take off the dress, only her bra, revealing her full, white breasts. The waves of flesh were
truly dazzling. Her full, alluring breasts were flawlessly white, with pink nipples as
beautiful as cherries.

But before Zhang Dong could get a closer look, Lin Yan smiled seductively, bent down, and took his penis into her mouth, continuing to stroke it
. Her small mouth sucked on the glans, giving Zhang Dong no chance to react.

"Ah!" Zhang Dong groaned in pleasure, looking down to see Lin Yan's flawless white back. The full
breasts pressing against her thighs brought an intoxicating stimulation, so intense that Zhang Dong had to support himself on the bed to stay upright.

After a while, the massive object in her mouth grew even harder. Lin Yan gasped and lifted her head, kissing
Zhang Dong , panting, "Come on, move a little closer to the edge of the bed."

"Mmm!" Zhang Dong followed Lin Yan's lead, moving little by little to the edge of the bed until his legs touched the ground
.

Lin Yan gave Zhang Dong a seductive look, slowly slid off the bed, and knelt on the floor. One hand held
his penis continuing to stroke it, while the other hand pulled Zhang Dong's foot to hers. The soft,
supple touch of his full breasts against his foot sent a shiver down Zhang Dong's spine.

Perhaps realizing that Zhang Dong wouldn't ejaculate so quickly, Lin Yan didn't continue oral sex. Instead, she smoothed her long hair,
lowered her head, and, under Zhang Dong's surprised and delighted gaze, began to lick his testicles with her delicate tongue.

Lin Yan's soft tongue was gentle and warm, a slightly itchy yet stimulating sensation that sent a
shiver .

Lin Yan, sensing the massive object in her hands, jumped up excitedly. She continued stroking it while
licking Zhang Dong's testicles and groin even more vigorously.

Lin Yan's full, beautiful breasts pressed against Zhang Dong's body, their elasticity and softness stimulating his nerves.
Zhang Dong panted heavily, feeling his blood boiling.

Having such a beautiful woman kneeling beneath him, giving him oral sex with such ecstasy, her alluring eyes and flushed
face alone, brought him unparalleled satisfaction. The mental pleasure combined with the physical
stimulation created a double sensation, pushing Zhang Dong to the brink of ecstasy.

Lin Yan licked almost every inch of Zhang Dong's testicles, but he showed no sign of ejaculating; her hands were aching.

Zhang Dong was only focused on enjoying himself, wishing it could last longer. However, seeing Lin Yan stubbornly continuing
to please him despite her exhaustion, his heart softened, and his body instantly relaxed. He leaned back, closed his eyes, and tried to become more sensitive so
he could ejaculate quickly.

At that moment, Zhang Dong felt Lin Yan move slightly. Her soft hair brushed against his skin, sending a tingling sensation
through him. Then, she took his glans into her mouth again, sucking and swallowing for a while before switching to licking and pecking. Sometimes rough,
sometimes gentle, the alternating sensations made Zhang Dong moan with pleasure.

Zhang Dong was already in a state of ecstasy. Lin Yan's actions were more powerful than any sweet words, providing both psychological
satisfaction and physical pleasure. Such a woman was enough to drive any man crazy.

In a daze, Zhang Dong suddenly shivered, his legs stiffened, and his prostate
throbbed . A numbness in his lower back told him he was on the verge of ejaculation. Instantly, his body stiffened, and
he said in a hoarse voice, "Yanzi, I'm...I'm going to cum."

Lin Yan paused slightly upon hearing this, then hugged Zhang Dong's trembling legs, feeling his excitement. Her
swallowing became faster and faster, and she pressed her tongue against the glans, sucking hard. She knew that her man wanted
wildness at this moment, and even though the glans almost reached her throat several times, she still endured the discomfort.

Zhang Dong couldn't hold back any longer. His back arched, and he cried out, his whole body trembling.

The sudden release of semen made Zhang Dong feel as if his soul had been emptied out, so pleasurable that he almost fainted.

Hot and sticky semen erupted in his cherry-like mouth in gushes. Lin Yan didn't expect Zhang Dong to ejaculate
so much and choked a little, but she still sucked on the glans, as if trying to squeeze out every last drop of semen.
Same.

Lin Yan gently stroked Zhang Dong's penis with one hand, while the other hand tenderly caressed his testicles, making
Zhang Dong feel like he was about to lose his soul. His body throbbed a few times with the glans before he instantly went limp,
lying sprawled out, almost powerless except for panting.

Lin Yan felt Zhang Dong's body's reaction, and only when the huge thing in her mouth stopped throbbing did she raise her head and look at Zhang Dong with
a soft, seductive gaze.

Perhaps a man's satisfied look is a kind of happiness for a woman. Lin Yan, who had been somewhat hesitant
, was now filled with intoxicated emotions and no longer hesitated at all, swallowing the semen in her mouth directly.

Because her small mouth still held the glans, Lin Yan's swallowing caused her small mouth to tighten, making Zhang Dong's
thighs .

Having just ejaculated, his penis was very sensitive. Even as it gradually softened, the nerves were still very active. Seeing
Zhang Dong's reaction, Lin Yan immediately became playful, sucking on Zhang Dong's glans and beginning to lick up the remaining semen.

By the time Lin Yan felt a soreness in her mouth, she had already devoured Zhang Dong's countless offspring.
Only then did raise her head, affectionately hugging Zhang Dong's leg, and murmur, "Da Dong, was it good?"

"Mmm, great, incredibly good," Zhang Dong said weakly. Even though it was just oral sex, perhaps the
psychological stimulation was too great, making his legs feel weak. "I'm going to rinse my mouth,"

Lin Yan coughed a few times, her eyes a little red, apparently from the discomfort in her throat.
She rushed to the bathroom without even straightening her clothes.

Zhang Dong opened his eyes, faintly hearing gagging sounds. A warm feeling welled up inside him, but he was also a little worried,
so he quickly followed.

Lin Yan was already rinsing her mouth. After rinsing, she tidied her disheveled hair in front of the mirror, her full
breasts exposed to the air, looking exceptionally alluring.

Zhang Dong hugged Lin Yan from behind, grabbing her full breasts and kneading them wantonly.

Lin Yan trembled instantly. Although she enjoyed the intimacy, she still said coquettishly, "Stop it! You
know I can't do 'that' and you still touch me like that. Be careful, or I'll force myself on you later."

"Hehe, okay, I'll definitely be very compliant then."

Zhang Dong ignored Lin Yan and pinched her nipples gently with both hands. Lin Yan in his arms
let out a soft moan, and her breathing became more disordered.

Originally, Zhang Dong wanted to take advantage of this tender moment, but Lin Yan pushed him away in the end. Then the two
lay on the bed together and talked about their longing for each other during this period.

Lin Yan was a gentle, charming, and mature woman, but for her, Zhang Dong was her first love. Even though she
married Chen Dashan, she cherished this relationship very much.

Even though Lin Yan had never said any vows of eternal love, the mature woman expressed her love for
Zhang Dong . She didn't mind abandoning some of her reserve and shyness, just to win Zhang Dong's heart.

After whispering sweet nothings for a while, the phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Zhang Dong picked up his phone and saw it was a call from Xu Hanlan. She said
she would pick .

"You haven't sorted things out with Sister Lan yet?"

Lin Yan knew Zhang Dong had important business to attend to and couldn't linger any longer, so she stood up and started tidying her clothes.

"Almost done. Don't you know who Brother Dong is? Do you think such a small matter can stump me?" Zhang Dong
thought to himself : The mess is done, but the mess with her, hehe, that depends on what you mean.

Zhang Dong lay on the bed watching Lin Yan dress. The scene was elegant, graceful, and alluring.
Sometimes watching a woman put on her clothes in front of you is no less satisfying than taking them off yourself,
because the former gives you a sense of accomplishment or possession.

"Alright, alright, I know you're like Sun Wukong, capable of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, okay!"

After getting dressed, Lin Yan didn't rest but busied herself in the room, her movements so natural that even she herself probably couldn't believe it before
.

Lin Yan first placed the cigarettes and ashtray on the bedside table, which surprised Zhang Dong before he enjoyed his post-coital cigarette.

Although it was oral sex, for a man, a post-coital cigarette was indeed necessary to celebrate.
Next, Lin Yan opened the closet, and Zhang Dong was stunned because he saw that all the clothes he had left behind were neatly arranged and
hung inside.

"What are you looking at? You think I'd wash your clothes?" Lin Yan picked out a set of casual clothes and
snorted irritably, "Lingling and
Aunt I'm some kind of woman who serves others."

Lin Yan wasn't a very diligent person to begin with, something Zhang Dong had noticed when he first arrived in Xiaoli Town.
But how could someone who wasn't diligent know exactly where their clothes and underwear were?

Lin Yan opened the closet and looked for her underwear with practiced ease, almost without hesitation. Therefore, Zhang Dong found Lin Yan's little
stubbornness quite cute. At least, although she said that, he couldn't hide it from her
eyes.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Grandma."

Zhang Dong smiled lecherously, took the clothes, rubbed his hands on Lin Yan's bottom for a while, and then ran into
the bathroom to wash.

"I'll wash you to death!" Lin Yan gave a coquettish hum, then couldn't help but laugh happily.

Chapter 3, Songshan

Zhang Dong put on casual clothes, carried a crossbody bag, and took a document bag before heading out.

Xu Hanlan was already waiting outside the hotel. As soon as Zhang Dong got into the car, it drove straight towards the city.

Actually, Xiaoli Town wasn't remote; it only seemed so because the roads were winding and difficult to navigate. Its backwardness
was largely due to inconvenient transportation.

Xiaoli Town belonged to Guangming City. Although Guangming City wasn't a modern metropolis, it was a large area with a
decent economy, at least benefiting from being a coastal city and quite prosperous.

Logically, as a scenic suburb, Xiaoli Town should have been well-developed, but it was clear that the city's leaders
had always focused on other places; otherwise, Xiaoli Town's transportation wouldn't be so bad and would have been improved long ago.

Xu Hanlan remained silent throughout the journey, and Zhang Dong, tired from a day's drive,
also kept quiet, creating a somewhat heavy atmosphere.

Only when the car stopped in front of a hotel did Xu Hanlan cautiously glance at Zhang Dong and softly
say , "Da Dong, things have changed a little."

"How?" Zhang Dong narrowed his eyes, asking indifferently, "I've
received You're not going to try and back out now, are you?"

"No, how should I put it? Well... anyway, my dad got tricked by Grandpa Cai... sigh, you
'll see when you go in."

Xu Hanlan hesitated, then added somewhat cautiously, "He'll talk to you later. If you
're not satisfied , we can think of another way. Anyway, we didn't mean any harm."

"Hmm." Although he didn't understand what Xu Hanlan was talking about, Zhang Dong nodded. Perhaps because he
now had a substantial fortune, he didn't care much about the extortion he had painstakingly obtained before.

Perhaps the topic was too realistic, and the atmosphere between the two, who had been ambiguous on the phone not long ago,
became somewhat awkward. At this moment, Zhang Dong would rather not talk about those things and continue to flirt with her in a lighthearted tone. But then
he thought that this wasn't Xu Hanlan's money, and there was no reason to refuse something offered to him. In the end, reason prevailed over lust, and Zhang Dong didn't say anything more. After all, he and Xu Hanlan didn't have a substantial relationship, and it would be foolish to pay the price
for a few words of ambiguity. This hotel was the most luxurious in the city, almost five-star, even exceeding four-star, but its name was rather tacky: the "Rich Man's Hotel. " Just that name alone made it difficult to even rate it five stars. As soon as Zhang Dong and Xu Hanlan entered the hotel, a waiter immediately and attentively led them to a room on the fourth floor after Xu Hanlan gave her room number. Upon opening the door, they saw Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen whispering to . Xu Hanlan went in and called out "Dad," then nodded at Guan Weiwen as if ignoring him. Guan Weiwen smiled awkwardly and said nothing, but Xu Lixin's expression immediately changed. He greeted them with a beaming smile, saying, "Hey, Little Zhang, you're back in triumph!" "Uncle Xu!" Zhang Dong called out, also nodding to Guan Weiwen. Xu Hanlan's behavior clearly indicated that the couple's relationship was very strained; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so cold, even hostile, during their two meetings. "Sit down, sit down, see what you like to eat, don't be shy." Guan Weiwen and Xu Lixin warmly greeted Zhang Dong, with a bottle of Hennessy that looked quite old placed beside them. Xu Hanlan didn't sit next to Guan Weiwen, but instead sat next to Zhang Dong, fiddling with her phone as if it were none of her business. Xu Hanlan's indifferent attitude pleased Zhang Dong. Perhaps if she had sat next to Guan Weiwen, calling him "husband" this and "husband" that, Zhang Dong would have been furious. However, considering that she ignored Guan Weiwen's words, their relationship was clearly extremely bad. "Anything is fine, I'm not hungry!" Zhang Dong replied indifferently, casually handing two document bags to Xu Lixin and Xu Hanlan , saying, "Let me confirm, this should be what you wanted." Zhang Dong's voice was very calm, yet it gave off an imposing aura, completely different from his previous playful attitude . Xu Hanlan couldn't help but look up at Zhang Dong, finding him somewhat unfamiliar. Guan Weiwen and Xu Lixin were also taken aback; although it was the same person, they couldn't understand why Zhang Dong gave them such a completely different feeling than before. Aura is a fleeting thing. Before, Zhang Dong was just a small-time hoodlum, mingling in the underworld and engaging in shady dealings, always operating in the gray area. Although he was used to speaking to people in a certain way, he inevitably felt insecure when dealing . Even though he had worked in the provincial capital, theoretically, it wouldn't be difficult to fool them in a smaller town, but he lacked confidence, and insecurity was an instinctive reaction. This trip to the provincial capital, however, exposed Zhang Dong to many things. His biggest realization was that he could be so powerful and arrogant. For one thing, the inheritance left by his father was beyond Zhang Dong's reach; such wealth high-ranking figure even in the provincial capital. Now, in Xiaoli Town, although Zhang Dong didn't look down on people, he felt confident and spoke with more conviction, at least not wasting too much effort on such petty gains . Ultimately, Zhang Dong's confidence stemmed from his financial resources. Fortunately, he wasn't arrogant, otherwise he would have certainly displayed the arrogance of a nouveau riche. Money makes the world go round; while not everything, it can solve many problems. Many practical issues become insignificant once you have money. For example, Zhang Dong no longer needs to worry about small sums of money; this composure is something many people lack. His greater confidence undoubtedly comes from Zhang Yong. As brothers, Zhang Dong believed Zhang Yong would be his lifelong support. Although Zhang Dong didn't know what Zhang Yong did, or the details , he could deduce one thing: Zhang Yong had immense influence. A single word from him could make the head of the construction group tremble with fear, and he even dared to openly demand . This ability gave Zhang Dong boundless confidence. Zhang Yong's background must be quite formidable; he wasn't even afraid of the officials in the provincial capital, so how could he possibly fear a nobody like Zhang Yong in Guangming? Although Zhang Dong knew he was just using Zhang Yong's favor to bully him, the thought of Zhang Yong's chilling smile that sent shivers down the spines of outsiders made him uneasy. It would be a miracle if that arrogant, domineering aura didn't seep through. Because of Zhang Yong's presence, while Zhang Dong didn't act arrogantly towards these minor local officials, he at least didn't have to be so careful when speaking to them. He even felt a bit too lazy to bother with them now, because there were no tempting benefits in associating with them. Even the favor that had previously kept him up at night was now insignificant in his eyes. Zhang Dong's ability to maintain a calm and composed demeanor, rather than being arrogant, was already a sign of self-awareness. It was precisely this transformative change that surprised Xu Hanlan, while Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen exchanged bewildered glances , facing the two documents that had been keeping them up at night, yet he dared not touch them, as if they were hot potatoes. "What, worried that what I brought is fake?" Zhang Dong lit a cigarette, looking at Xu Lixin , and said. "No, no, it's just that Old Man Cai tricked me, this..." Xu Lixin was momentarily at a loss, perhaps because the two encounters with Zhang Dong were so different , even a seasoned official like him felt uncomfortable. Unable to speak, Xu Lixin could only quickly wink at Xu Hanlan.

Although Xu Hanlan was also taken aback, she remained relatively calm and quickly said, "Zhang Dong,
Grandpa . When I talked to you, I mentioned a villa, right..."

"What, has the old man changed his mind?" Zhang Dong remained expressionless, without even frowning.

Zhang Dong's composed attitude undoubtedly surprised Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen even more, especially his tone, which made it seem as if
he looked down on the villa.

"It's not that he went back on his word, it's just that he played a trick."

Although Zhang Dong seemed unfamiliar to her, Xu Hanlan took a deep breath and said softly, "
When we were talking to him before, we always thought the villa he was talking about was in town. Although the old man was vague,
I didn't pay much attention. But when it came to the transfer of ownership, I realized he had played a trick. The villa he promised to transfer wasn't
in town, but in Songshan."

"Songshan?" Zhang Dong frowned in confusion. It wasn't that the villa was that important, but he
remembered Zhang Yong telling him to go to Songshan to learn more. Hearing that word, he immediately remembered this
only serious matter.

It's unclear what the trick was, but Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen immediately lowered their heads. Perhaps it was Zhang Dong
's reaction that made them uncomfortable; they, who had been so talkative last time, were now silent.

Left with no other option, Xu Hanlan could only chime in, "Yes, it's a villa in the Songshan villa area, but that
place has been abandoned for four or five years; nobody lives there."

"What's the situation there?" Zhang Dong regained his composure, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and asked.
Compared to the villas in town, Zhang Dong was more interested in Songshan.

"Well, I know about it, but I'm not entirely sure. Let my dad tell you!"

Seeing Zhang Dong's calm demeanor, Xu Hanlan was truly uneasy. After all, it would be understandable if Zhang Dong were
annoyed at being played, but his current indifferent attitude made her even more worried.
Xu Lixin had to bite the bullet and speak. Initially, they also found it a bit strange.
Although the villa in town wasn't large, it was luxuriously decorated and fully furnished with appliances. Even if Cai Xiong wanted to cash out,
he shouldn't have sold it for such a low price. However, Xu Lixin was paying attention to these two documents at the time and had other
business dealings , so they didn't think much of it. They were dumbfounded when the transfer of ownership was completed, because the villa wasn't in town
, but in Songshan.

Songshan is located on the edge of Xiaoli Town and the city center. In theory, it should be relatively prosperous, but because the land
there is mostly sandy and gravelly, with many hillsides and ditches, there aren't many residents. In addition, the transportation
is inconvenient, so not many businesses have settled there, leaving a large area of land desolate.

It can be said that Songshan is practically a natural barrier between Xiaoli Town and the city center. The inconvenient transportation and sparse
population mean that while Guangming City is said to be large, the barren Songshan plays a significant role in this.

A few years ago, the government suddenly announced the large-scale development of Songshan. Leaders devised several plans to launch a major
undertaking . Many people received advance notice and immediately flocked
to the area. The wealthy and powerful quickly purchased land in Songshan, awaiting redevelopment.

In fact, that government was indeed very determined; the implementation of each plan caused an instant uproar.
Songshan, once considered a desolate place, suddenly became a highly sought-after prize.

The government's plans included two main points: first, to build a wide national highway passing through Songshan, directly connecting Xiaoli Town and other
areas; and second, to place the entrance/exit for Guangming City
in Songshan during the province's booming high-speed rail and highway network construction, leveraging convenient transportation to rapidly develop this barren area.

The news was like a bombshell. Aside from the relatively prosperous city center, all the remote
suburbs were plagued by incredibly winding roads. Frankly speaking, apart from a few wealthy towns that could afford to build their
own roads, there wasn't a single decent road in the suburbs. If this national highway were built, Xiaoli Town
's transportation and economy would take off. According to the plan, the journey from Xiaoli Town to the city center would take less than twenty minutes,
and it would be even closer if it went through Songshan.

The government showed great determination, and the funds were already in place. Under the spotlight, the national highway's
foundation stone construction began in a grand manner, and agreements with the expressway and high-speed rail were also signed.

Now, everyone in Guangming City, from the powerful to the wealthy, was on edge. All sorts of people used their connections and resources
, and various companies and funds poured into the previously impoverished Songshan.

Driven by profit, the entire Songshan area was practically sold out in an instant, and prices skyrocketed, leaving everyone
speechless .

Those with companies immediately shifted their projects and increased investment, while those without companies quickly formed ones and
focused here. Songshan instantly became a bustling hub.

All sorts of companies, machines, and projects poured in. While the national highway was under construction at a feverish pace,
projects here proceeded smoothly. Songshan was like a treasure trove, attracting the greedy and
powerful from all over Guangming City. Anyone with a little spare cash would invest here.

Songshan was a scene of prosperity, with bustling construction sites, hotels, residential areas, and even
villas and resorts springing up everywhere. The once barren land, covered in sand and gravel, became a hub of activity, with the
roar of machinery echoing day and night.

Songshan amplified people's greed, driving them to a frenzy. Even those with money who wanted to invest couldn't do so without
connections , because there were too many wolves and too little meat; Songshan, this tempting prize, couldn't satisfy so many greedy people.

Everyone was frantically crowding into Songshan, pouring countless sums of money into it as if
the excavators were digging up gold mines instead of sand and gravel.

Originally, Songshan's development, led by the government and fueled by a flood of hot money, should have been booming. But
then disaster struck. The top two officials of Guangming City were arrested for their involvement in some matters. When officials from the provincial capital investigated
, they found problems even in the approval process for the national highway project. The financial and personnel arrangements were riddled with loopholes; frankly, the project
was anything but legitimate, riddled with irregularities due to its hasty pursuit of quick profits.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. The Songshan national highway project was immediately halted, and
plans for the expressway and high-speed rail interchange were also shelved.

This event caused a huge uproar, but with those in charge arrested, what could anyone else do? Moreover,
who among those who invested so much money had a clean record? Everyone was caught off guard and
could only watch helplessly.

After the new top two leaders took office, they ignored Songshan, as it was a development
plan , and they saw no need to waste their energy and resources on it.

All the investors were eagerly awaiting news, but none came. Now all the projects had come to a standstill; no one
could have predicted such a turn of events at this crucial moment.

A project only three kilometers from the opening of the national highway saw all the construction workers withdraw, leaving
a road that had filled everyone with hope unfinished.

Without the concrete action of opening the national highway and losing two important transportation hubs, any development
was nothing but a pipe dream.

The Songshan development project started with great fanfare, but no one expected it to
end so dismally.

Initially, with government leadership, everyone felt reassured,
and some even borrowing money and leaving behind their entire fortunes. Large companies even shifted their funds to focus on this project.

Without so much hot money, the Songshan development project could not have started so enthusiastically.

The project's halt led to the bankruptcy of many companies with their capital tied up in the project, and many people even committed suicide due to financial
ruin .

The Songshan development project ruined countless lives; almost every company in Guangming City that was once influential suffered a major
setback. They invested heavily, only to leave destitute and defeated.
No one has calculated how much these speculators lost, as it was an astronomical figure beyond imagination.

Those companies severely damaged by the losses were fortunate; those who committed suicide and went bankrupt were truly tragic.
No one could have predicted such an outcome for the Songshan development project, causing so many
families to be destroyed. In short, the Songshan development project was a joke. Those with connections and influence in Guangming City suffered greatly,
including investors, landowners, and those who had contributed to its development.

Songshan is now even more desolate than before. What was once an endless expanse of sand and gravel is now filled with unfinished
buildings and abandoned construction sites, resembling a ghost town.

Many construction sites were locked up and deserted. Nearby residents considered the area unlucky and dared not approach.

Although there were many unfinished buildings that could be used for raising pigs, many people had jumped to their deaths there in the past, so
no one dared to try such a crooked scheme.

Songshan's situation was dire; the investment after the large-scale development had almost entirely vanished. The originally grand
buildings were now ruins. It was hard to say how many people had lost everything, but those who were scammed were definitely the wealthy and well
-connected .

Hearing about Songshan's situation, Zhang Dong was slightly taken aback. He had originally thought Zhang Yong had pointed him to a treasure trove, but it
turned out to be such an unlucky place.

"Just three kilometers short! Sigh, if only those three kilometers had been completed, things wouldn't be like this!"

Xu Lixin shook his head and sighed, saying, "This massive development project has ruined people. Once the top two leaders fell from power,
no one dared to touch the project anymore. Everyone knows that if those three kilometers had been completed, things wouldn't be so dire, but
so what ? Which company investing here doesn't have that kind of money? But nobody dares to touch that highway, afraid
of incurring the displeasure of the current leadership. So Songshan has been abandoned ever since, for three or four years now!"
"It seems Uncle Xu is very supportive of the government's development plan."

Zhang Dong saw a hint of heartache on Xu Lixin's face; clearly, he couldn't resist the temptation.

"Yes, I bought a villa and two plots of land there!" Xu Lixin laughed awkwardly. "It was very expensive back
then Compared to unfinished buildings, even if the national highway construction stopped, the villa area and other small blocks would still have to
continue building because almost all the houses were sold. Most of these buyers still have to pay off bank loans. Whether the national highway opens
or not is none of the developers' business. Although they also lost some money, at least they didn't lose everything. At least once
they handed over the buildings, the only ones who suffered were those who bought the houses."

"That's true. At most, the developers don't make any money and lose a little bit of capital. They really don't lose much."

Zhang Dong thought about it and understood. Those who went to build high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and hotels all lost everything.
They were probably the ones who jumped off buildings. Real estate development, on the other hand, can at least break even because it's a business that makes money out of thin air.
Before the foundation is even laid, they can sell houses with the blueprints and then use the customers' money to invest. The financial risk itself
is not great.

The national highway is closed, the entrances and exits are gone. While real estate developers are also frustrated—after all, stagnant property values
mean no second or third phases of development—they've managed to secure land reserves. However, in
this climate of widespread anxiety, their situation is relatively better. The risks are shifted onto consumers;
developers simply hand over the properties and disappear, leaving homebuyers to stare
helplessly at the ghost town-like communities. They've not only paid their down payments but also have monthly mortgage payments—a truly tragic situation.

Those houses are now ridiculously cheap, and no one will buy them. These homebuyers are left with no choice but to
suffer in silence.

"Nobody dares to touch those three kilometers of road in Songshan!" Xu Hanlan couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, it doesn't require
much money , but considering the impact, nobody dares to mention it, afraid of getting burned. In the past four years, the city has been
developing, and there's not much land left in the surrounding area. If those three kilometers of road in Songshan were connected with water and electricity, at least the situation
wouldn't be so bad now." "

That's right, this has caused so much suffering for so many people." Guan Weiwen frowned, seemingly also very frustrated.

Needless to say, Xu Hanlan and the other two must have invested in Songshan, otherwise they wouldn't be sighing like this.

Zhang Dong thought for a moment and felt there was something going on. Although he wasn't sure, he couldn't sit still and said to
Xu Lixin , "Uncle Xu, I have something to do and don't have time to chat. Take a look at these first, see if they are the information you need."
When it comes to business, Xu Lixin didn't dare to be careless. Although he didn't know what Zhang Dong was thinking, he quickly picked up
the folder and handed one of the folders to Guan Weiwen. The two carefully looked at it. There was even
more information than they had seen last time. The two frowned at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhang is indeed very capable!" Guan Weiwen said, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, still shaken.
This information was even more complete than what they had seen last time; if it were all exposed, even bringing the King of Heaven himself wouldn't help.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think about Lao Cai's villa?"

Xu Lixin asked with a wry smile. Although he was relieved that the matter could be resolved, the agreed-upon price was now in
dispute, causing him a headache. He didn't know whether to keep the information or not.

"Take the documents first. Anyway, I've taken care of things. We can talk about the rest later." After saying that, Zhang Dong
stood up, picked up his bag, and said, "I won't eat. I have something to do."

Seeing Zhang Dong in such a hurry to leave, Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen were both startled. They thought something had happened that
displeased , and they were at a loss for what to do. They wanted to ask him to stay but didn't know how.

Xu Hanlan felt a little awkward, but still spoke up, "Zhang Dong, this matter can actually
be discussed properly. The villa in Songshan isn't worth much; we can give you cash instead. After all, you've been busy for so long, we won't
let you suffer a loss."

"I'm not doing this for the money... never mind!" Zhang Dong shook his head, stubbed out his cigarette, and said,
" I only helped because you asked. As for what happened over there, I've taken care of everything, so you don't need to worry about it.
I really have something to do and have to leave. To be honest, I don't want to waste too much energy on these trivial matters
. The villa in Songshan is fine; it doesn't make much difference to me."

"Are you really busy?" Xu Hanlan asked cautiously. From Zhang Dong's consistently calm face, she
couldn't detect a trace of anger.

"Yes, but I'll have to trouble you to drive me."

Zhang Dong looked at Xu Hanlan meaningfully, then turned to Xu Lixin and said, "Uncle Xu, don't overthink it.
Sister Hanlan is my friend. This is something she asked me to do, and I will do my best. Everything in the provincial capital has been taken care of.
Instead of wasting your time treating me to a meal, you should just cover up the crime and be
more . You won't always be so lucky."

"Understood, understood, Brother Zhang is right." Guan Weiwen immediately stepped forward and said earnestly, "
Since you have something to do, we won't keep you any longer. But my friend will be very happy to know that this matter has been settled.
Brother Zhang, you must do me the honor of having a drink with us then!"

"Yes, sigh, if it weren't for Xiao Zhang, I would have ruined my reputation. I won't thank you enough." Xu Lixin also stood
up, his attitude very polite.

"Let's skip the formalities. As for dinner, let me see if I have time!"

Zhang Dong glanced meaningfully at Guan Weiwen and said softly, "But Brother Guan, you'd better tell
your friend not to stand on ceremony. Now that you've survived this ordeal, you should settle this matter as soon as possible. I have nothing to do with him
. If it weren't for Sister Lan's sake, I wouldn't bother with this."

"Cheers, don't worry, we won't implicate you."

Guan Weiwen and Xu Lixin were very polite. Zhang Dong's behavior this time made them increasingly puzzled. They
couldn't figure out his background and had a vague feeling that Zhang Dong was unwilling to associate with
the people of Xiaoli Town, and it seemed that he looked down on the local officials.

Xu Hanlan and the other two were surprised by Zhang Dong's dramatic change, but Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen
didn't dare to say anything. Since Zhang Dong had to leave, they were embarrassed to insist that he stay. Moreover, perhaps it was Zhang Dong
's attitude that left them confused, so they dared not be careless and their attitude was even somewhat respectful.

After leaving the hotel, Xu Hanlan drove the car over, and Zhang Dong got in under the watchful eyes of Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen.

As Xu Hanlan started the car, she asked, "Where to?"

While asking, she kept observing Zhang Dong. She had interacted with him more often,
and the Zhang Dong who had been so jovial and sarcastic before was completely different now. She shared the same worry as Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen: that
Cai Xiong's trickery might have displeased Zhang Dong. Given Zhang Dong's cold attitude, they couldn't help but think
that way .

Logically, once the transaction was complete, even if Zhang Dong suffered a loss, the three of them wouldn't need to worry. However, they were uneasy about a problem arising from
such straightforward deal. After all, the other party had the ability
to resolve even this kind of issue; perhaps they would seek revenge later.

Although the three of them didn't know Zhang Dong's background, they didn't want to
offend , especially since Zhang Dong was from the provincial capital, and they couldn't help but be wary of him.

"Songshan, I want to go there and take a look." After getting into the car, Zhang Dong saw Xu Hanlan's hesitant expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"What? I didn't blame you for not doing a good job, why are you all so nervous? I'm not going to eat you."

"It's just that I feel you've changed." Xu Hanlan hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Zhang Dong,
when I first met you, I thought you were just a thug. Later, when I tentatively mentioned this to you, you were so
calculating and haggled with me, making me think you were a very greedy person. But now that Grandpa Cai has played a
trick, you should be furious, so why are you so calm?"

"Why should I be furious?"

Zhang Dong squinted, looking at Xu Hanlan's cherry-like mouth opening and closing as she spoke, imagining: What would it feel like if
such beautiful little mouth gave me oral sex?

"Well..."

Xu Hanlan was suddenly stumped by the question, thinking: Of course, it's because of the money!

Zhang Dong's calm demeanor was somewhat unsettling for Xu Lanhan. The villa in Songshan was practically
unsellable, while the villa in Xiaoli Town was far more valuable.
It was strange that Zhang Dong could so easily dismiss this loss.

Xu Lanhan, a shrewd woman, believed there were only two possibilities for Zhang Dong's reaction: either he
was unfamiliar with the area and had no choice, or he had made a large enough profit to accept the loss
.

Human nature is greedy; there was no other explanation. However, Xu Lanhan's doubts were fleeting.
Regarding the first point, even if Zhang Dong was currently helpless, his resentment would be a
future problem, and if he insisted on the money, he wouldn't be so composed; he would have at least
proposed other conditions. The second point was even more intriguing. Without the villa, the money was clearly negligible.
Unless Zhang Dong hadn't spent a single penny on these arrangements, why would he so easily give up the money?

Xu Hanlan was completely baffled by Zhang Dong's sudden magnanimity.

Zhang Dong immediately knew what Xu Hanlan was thinking, chuckled, and said, "Principal Xu, I told
you long ago, I only helped you out of respect. Do you think the cost of living in the provincial capital is low? Your
little bit of money isn't even enough to cover your connections, how much profit could I possibly make from all this hard work? Besides, I'm too
lazy to earn such a small amount."

"That's not what I meant!" Xu Hanlan quickly explained, "I just feel that you deserve all of this."
After all, resolving these troubles was worth the price we paid, but now we've been inexplicably tricked.
Who wouldn't be angry? You haven't said a word about it, which I find strange."

"Strange?" Looking at Xu Hanlan's bewildered expression, which was both beautiful and sexy, Zhang Dong
couldn't help but reach out and tap her nose, saying with a smile, "I already said, it's because you
brought it up, otherwise I wouldn't bother with this."

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Zhang Dong's intimate gesture made Xu Hanlan tremble, her pretty face blushing, a little shy and a little flustered,
but even a fool could see that she wasn't angry.

"A little teasing, it's not like I'm taking advantage," Zhang Dong
said . "If you weren't driving right now, I'd just take advantage of you. I don't care
about those villas or anything like that, because what I'm really looking forward to is your promise to travel with me."

"Who, who promised you that!"

Xu Hanlan rolled her eyes at Zhang Dong, her expression serious, but her voice was coquettish, more like a pout than angrily.
Especially her flustered look when she pretended to be serious made one want to tease this intelligent and alluring young woman even more.

Although Xu Hanlan seemed poised and generous, women love sweet words. Zhang Dong's words, seemingly
teasing , were actually coaxing her. Moreover, Xu Hanlan was currently confused, and upon hearing Zhang Dong's words,
her heart raced instantly.

Women always crave attention.

"Don't be like that, I've truly gone to great lengths, you can't be so ungrateful," Zhang Dong said with a lewd grin.

Zhang Dong stretched and said wearily, "This is your dad's business. If it were your husband's business,
I wouldn't care! But speaking of which, your dad is quite something. He thinks he can settle things completely in the provincial capital with that little bit of money.
He really looks down on the cost of living in our area. I'm going to suffer a loss this time anyway,
so I don't mind taking a little more, as long as you didn't do it on purpose."

As he spoke, Zhang Dong couldn't help but yawn and stretch, and you could clearly hear his joints
cracking exaggeratedly .

"You're being taken advantage of?"

Xu Hanlan wanted to continue Zhang Dong's previous topic, but seeing Zhang Dong's tired appearance, she immediately
said , "You've been running around all day without a proper rest. What are you doing going to Songshan without even eating?
I think you should go back and rest."

"It's fine, I'm just destined to be a workaholic."

Zhang Dong rubbed his eyes, feigning exhaustion, and said, "But don't you think I'm at a disadvantage?
I didn't make any money to begin with, and now I'm losing money—by the way. You guys treated this like a business transaction, paying to settle this matter, and I,
the middleman, had to busy myself finding people and connections for you. In the end, they made money, and I still owe a favor.
Isn't that a loss? And in the end, not only did I not gain any advantage, but I was also tricked by Old Master Cai
. I've completely lost my capital."

"That's true." Xu Hanlan seemed thoughtful, thinking that it seemed to be the case. After this matter was settled, it was as if
Zhang Dong the middleman, owed a favor, which was a huge loss for him.

Zhang Dong shook his neck, and his bones immediately creaked, clearly indicating that he was exhausted
.

Seeing this, Xu Hanlan's eyes flashed with concern.

The car had already entered the town of Xiaoli. Zhang Dong asked, "Why are we turning back?
Do we have to ? Isn't Songshan supposed to be in the suburbs?"

"You're so tired, why go to Songshan!" Xu Hanlan looked at Zhang Dong gently, then
shook her head . "I think you should finish your meal early and get some sleep! The body isn't made of iron.
What's the point of rushing there tonight? Besides, there aren't even any streetlights in Songshan. The roads are terrible at night, pitch black
everywhere . You can't see anything clearly. You should get some sleep, recharge, and go see it tomorrow."
"Okay, let's eat together then."

Zhang Dong wasn't in a hurry, but thinking of the ambiguous moment in the fishing village that night, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

"No, I have things to do." Xu Hanlan glanced at Zhang Dong with a smile, but still shook her head.
"Then I guess I'll have to go back and fend for myself," Zhang Dong said dejectedly.

Xu Hanlan blushed slightly and said, "I have a meeting tomorrow morning, then I'll arrange what I'm doing
, and then I'll take a day off. I'll take you to Songshan then. If you want to treat me, let's do it tomorrow night."
As they spoke, the two had already returned to the hotel.

After arranging a time with Xu Hanlan, Zhang Dong got out of the car. As

the car sped away, Zhang Dong was momentarily stunned when he received a text message on his phone: Tomorrow is my birthday. It was
a text message from Xu Hanlan, which immediately made Zhang Dong happy. He thought to himself: Principal Xu's hint about my birthday seems
more like an extremely ambiguous way of flirting.

Zhang Dong was in a great mood and looked forward to tomorrow's itinerary even more, humming a little tune as he walked into the hotel.

Xu Hanlan didn't go back to the school; the car continued along the original route towards the city.

Xu Hanlan's face had lost its previous gentleness. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up her phone and made a call.
Her tone was stiff and tinged with annoyance as she said, "Dad, come out and talk. You don't want to play dumb, do you?"

"Isn't this all over?" Xu Lixin pondered for a moment, his tone slightly hesitant.

"Over? Are you at ease?" Xu Hanlan heard the noise on the other end of the phone, clearly someone
singing, and sneered, "Guan Weiwen is with you, isn't he? I suppose you've destroyed those documents,
but you and Guan Weiwen aren't entirely at ease, are you? You know better than anyone how different the Songshan villa is from the villa in town.
Now that they've suffered such a huge loss, you haven't uttered a word. Aren't you worried that Zhang Dong is
unhappy and might resort to underhanded tactics? I really admire your ability to still drink at a time like this."

"Come over here, let's talk this over in detail," Xu Lixin said, clearly wary. "No, I
don't want to meet with that guy surnamed Guan. I'll talk to you alone. I believe you snakes and rats are in cahoots and can make the decision for him!"
After saying that, Xu Hanlan hung up the phone without caring about Xu Lixin's expression on the other end.
