Chapter 146 Dragon Envoy Number One's Methods: The Physical Cruelty to Chunzi

While the four were drinking heartily, in a garden at Fujin University, a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair stood. Behind her stood nearly fifty men in black, each with a fierce and murderous aura, and each possessing a strong physique honed through long-term training.

"When you hear my signal, all of you come out. No matter who's with me, make them disappear from this world. Understand?"

The woman turned her head, coldly surveying the fifty-odd men in black, and shouted.

"Miss Junko, rest assured, these assassins are the strongest they've sent from Japan by the master. I guarantee they'll complete the mission."

A short man respectfully answered the woman, who was none other than the woman who had been working with Liu Xiaohai. "Alright, everyone disperse."

Hirota Junko nodded and said. It was just after class, and no students were around the garden. Seeing her men leave, Hirota Junko resumed her expression as a college student, finding a chair to sit on.

As the sky gradually darkened, the thought of Liu Xiaohai dying before her eyes brought a strange expression to her face. Hirota Junko had already bought a plane ticket back to Japan for 10 PM that night, intending to kill Liu Xiaohai and return home.

"I wonder if the assassins over there have arrived yet. Sakura, don't blame me for being ruthless; you asked for this."

Hirota Junko smiled wickedly. " …

Xiaowei, what are you planning to do, bringing me here so mysteriously?"

After leaving the affordable shop, Lin Hongwei pulled Liu Xiaohai to the school's back garden. Seeing that he hadn't revealed his purpose, Liu Xiaohai stopped and questioned him.

"Nothing much, just wanted you to meet an old friend,"

Lin Hongwei said with a mischievous grin.

"An old friend?"

Liu Xiaohai's mind started racing. He didn't have many friends at Fudan University. Besides his three best friends and Liu Shida, the only other people he knew were women. Sun Meng had already graduated and was working at his pharmaceutical factory. Ji Jie wouldn't meet him in this way. Could it be Cao Hui? Liu Xiaohai wondered. Out of respect for his brother, Liu Xiaohai didn't use his mental powers to probe Lin Hongwei's thoughts.

"Don't guess. You'll find out when we get there."

Seeing Liu Xiaohai walking slowly, Lin Hongwei grabbed his hand and hurried forward. Thinking of Hirota Junko's promise, Lin Hongwei felt a surge of excitement.

Without a second thought, Liu Xiaohai instinctively felt that Lin Hongwei was definitely taking him to see a woman. Moreover, Liu Xiaohai saw a lewd expression on Lin Hongwei's face. Regardless of which woman it was, Liu Xiaohai figured it wouldn't matter to him; he'd find out when they got there.

Following Lin Hongwei to the back garden, Liu Xiaohai noticed there weren't many students. Although it was already dark, university students these days didn't like to date in gardens. While the environment was nice, there were mosquitoes this season, and couples wanting to make love had to be careful of insects crawling into their private parts.

"Xiaowei..."

Just as they reached the garden's corridor, Liu Xiaohai stopped and called out to Lin Hongwei, who was about to walk forward. He sensed a dangerous aura around him; with just a slight movement of his senses, he detected at least thirty people hidden in the shadows.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Hongwei turned around and saw Liu Xiaohai's cautious expression, wondering what had happened, and quickly asked.

"Who are they?"

Liu Xiaohai knew these people weren't arranged by Lin Hongwei, but by someone else. It seemed Lin Hongwei had used some kind of trick to get him here. Thinking back to Lin Hongwei's unusual attitude when he called earlier, and considering Gao Han and Wang Qiang's conversation at dinner, Liu Xiaohai felt Lin Hongwei had set a trap for him.

"Hehe, I won't say anymore. You'll see when you get there. She really wants to see you. Don't waste time, let's go."

Lin Hongwei said with a smile, pulling Liu Xiaohai forward. This time, Liu Xiaohai didn't refuse. They were clearly lying in wait, but Liu Xiaohai wasn't unprepared. The Twelve Dragon Envoys and some guards were nearby; they wouldn't have a chance to harm him.

Walking a dozen meters further, at the end of the garden corridor, Liu Xiaohai saw the person Lin Hongwei had mentioned. A short distance ahead, a long-haired girl sat on a chair, her hair flowing in the wind, obscuring her face. She wore a long black dress, and her beautiful, slender white legs alone were enough to spark endless fantasies.

When Liu Xiaohai reached the girl, she looked up at him and Lin Hongwei, and he froze. It was Hirota Junko! Seeing her, Liu Xiaohai's expression twisted into a grimace.

"Lin Hongwei, your mission is complete. You can go play over there for a while. My cousin-in-law and I have something to talk about,"

Hirota Junko said, standing up and blinking her large, cute eyes.

"Uh, okay,"

Lin Hongwei nodded, but secretly glanced at the alluring Hirota Junko. The thought of having a chance to sleep with her excited him. Without even looking at Liu Xiaohai's expression, he turned to walk away.

"Xiaowei, don't go anywhere, come back with me."

Liu Xiaohai really wanted to strangle this woman, but with students nearby and Lin Hongwei standing by, he restrained himself.

"Hehe, brother-in-law, why are you so cold to her? By the way, where are Gao Han and Wang Qiang? Did something happen to them?"

Hirota Junko's words made Liu Xiaohai stop in his tracks, turning around to stare at her coldly.

"I'd better stay to the side."

Lin Hongwei saw Liu Xiaohai's murderous expression and sensed something was wrong. He didn't know how Liu Xiaohai could be so hostile towards Japan. Before Liu Xiaohai could speak, he ran off into the distance.

"If you dare to lay a finger on them, I'll make your family disappear from this world." As soon as

Lin Hongwei left, Liu Xiaohai approached Hirota Junko and said viciously, the two almost touching.

"Hmph...you're getting more and more manly. Looks like my cousin, that old woman, has trained you quite well. You don't blush when you see a woman anymore."

Hirota Junko completely ignored Liu Xiaohai's expression, instead speaking with a sly laugh.

"Enough nonsense. You know you made a mistake—you shouldn't have come looking for trouble with me. And let me tell you something else: I'm not the Liu Xiaohai I used to be."

Seeing Hirota Junko shamelessly clinging to him, Liu Xiaohai took a step back and said.

"Haha, Liu Xiaohai, you actually had a chance to be my man, to serve me and pamper me, but I don't need you anymore, you know? As long as you're alive, I won't have a moment's peace."

Hirota Junko burst into laughter upon hearing Liu Xiaohai's words. She had always wanted to possess Liu Xiaohai but never had the chance, and today was her opportunity. Her laughter had another meaning, but after a dozen seconds, Hirota Junko didn't see the scene she wanted.

"I'm just like you. Even though you're a woman, I won't hold back."

Liu Xiaohai's thoughts were completely focused on Hirota Junko, whose mind was essentially sharing his. He knew Hirota Junko's laughter was a signal to the assassins hidden in the shadows, but those assassins had already vanished; how could they possibly reappear?

"Haha...haha...you're joking, aren't you? To tell you the truth, you must die today, and Mitsui Sakurako will die too, and your Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Factory will disappear."

Hirota Junko suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. Her words shocked Liu Xiaohai; he hadn't expected this woman to be so ruthless, to have come up with so many schemes.

"Hmm, I admire your ideas, but you've miscalculated."

Liu Xiaohai nodded, then stopped looking at Hirota Junko and walked towards Lin Hongwei in the distance.

"You can't go anywhere."

Hirota Junko looked around; none of her men had come out. Remembering Liu Xiaohai's words, Hirota Junko had a bad feeling. Were her men asleep or killed? Of course, Hirota Junko never imagined that her fifty-odd men would be killed.

"I'm not going anywhere; I'm just going to enjoy some nice things,"

Liu Xiaohai said without even turning his head.

"You..."

Hirota Junko was seething with anger, but she hadn't brought any weapons, and considering Liu Xiaohai had easily escaped her clutches after being hit by the Soul-Sealing No. 6, she didn't dare to attack him easily.

Knowing that Liu Xiaohai couldn't escape, Hirota Junko turned to go and check the flower bushes where she was hiding her men. She quickly ran to the bushes, stood on tiptoe, and looked behind them. Because it was dark, she couldn't see anything, but she could feel someone breathing rapidly behind the bushes in front of her.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, the flower bushes trembled violently, and a pair of large hands reached out from behind them, grabbing Hirota Junko's waist and forcefully pulling her through the dense flower bushes. Although the flower stems were still fresh, it was clear that the person used immense force; in less than a second, Hirota Junko vanished from the flower bushes, even her voice fading away.

"Xiao Hai, what kind of monster is that? Quick, save her..."

Lin Hongwei, though at a distance, had been secretly watching Liu Xiaohai and Hirota Junko's conversation, assuming they were having a good time and he had no chance. But then he saw Liu Xiaohai walking towards him, while Hirota Junko walked to the edge of the flower bushes and suddenly disappeared. Lin Hongwei shouted excitedly, about to run towards them.

"Stop right there, Hongwei! You don't understand her at all. This woman lured me here to kill me, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm not the only one who will die. You, Gao Han, and Wang Qiang are all people Hirota Junko is determined to kill. Don't ask me why; you don't need to know. Just go to your studies. I won't hold today's events against you."

Liu Xiaohai's sudden change startled Lin Hongwei. Hearing his words, Lin Hongwei was half-convinced and stood there for a while before realizing he should trust his brother.

"Then what about her?"

Lin Hongwei's face was full of shock. He really couldn't understand why Hirota Junko would do this. Although Liu Xiaohai had crippled her brother's leg before, so much time had passed, and Lin Hongwei felt it wasn't that simple.

"She's fine. Go back and check on Gao Han and Wang Qiang first. I'm worried something might have happened to them,"

Liu Xiaohai said calmly.

"Oh, okay, I'll go right now."

Not daring to ask any more questions, Lin Hongwei turned and ran back to the dormitory. He already realized that Hirota Junko's visit to him today seemed strange, but the word "murder" was something Lin Hongwei couldn't accept yet.

Lin Hongwei's figure disappeared, and Liu Xiaohai turned and walked towards the flower bushes. Reaching the bushes, Liu Xiaohai leaped up and jumped over, only to see a man and a woman engaged in sexual activity not far away. The woman's eyes were open, but her face was covered in tears and blood, looking very pitiful.

"Number One, finish her off and kill her. Someone will come to clean up the body."

Coldly watching Hirota Junko being forcibly taken, Liu Xiaohai felt no shame, only excitement. The man forcibly taking her was none other than Dragon Envoy Number One, whom Liu Xiaohai had brought. He had a connection with the twelve Dragon Envoys. Liu Xiaohai had just learned that Dragon Envoy Number One had dealt with fifty assassins on his own and had passed on a message to Liu Xiaohai: Gao Han and Wang Qiang were safe and sound, only slightly frightened.

Dragon Envoy Number One didn't answer, but continued thrusting vigorously. Because all the Dragon Envoys retained their former personalities and thoughts, Dragon Envoy Number One was originally an extreme lecher, known abroad as a perverted killer. He always toyed with women before killing them. Upon learning that Dragon Envoy Number One wanted to toy with Hirota Junko, Liu Xiaohai immediately agreed.

Regardless of Hirota Junko's character, she was undeniably beautiful. Her snow-white breasts changed shape constantly under Dragon Envoy Number One's large hands. Perhaps experiencing a slight pleasure, Hirota Junko's terrified expression turned into one of enjoyment. However, blood and tears obscured her beautiful face. Even without looking, Liu Xiaohai knew from Dragon Envoy Number One's mind that Hirota Junko wasn't a virgin, but a wanton woman. "Serves her right," Liu Xiaohai sighed, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

He wasn't worried about anyone discovering the place. Dragon Envoy Number One was toying with Hirota Junko, while the other Dragon Envoy members were nearby, responsible for protecting Liu Xiaohai and preventing anyone from finding him...

Chapter 147 Take Off Your Pants

Liu Xiaohai returned to Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company, feeling quite uneasy. Although Lin Hongwei hadn't done it intentionally, Liu Xiaohai felt he was completely unsuitable to be a close friend. His infatuation with women would only harm him; he was now experiencing the consequences of beautiful women.

"Xiaohai, I did a lot of work today, all taught to me by Sister Mitsui."

In Liu Xiaohai's office, Xanni, wearing a Chinese cheongsam and holding a rag, was diligently cleaning the office for him. Seeing Liu Xiaohai return, she quickly jumped to his side, beaming with joy.

"Um, you don't need to do this work. Let someone else do it. Look at you, you're practically covered in grime."

Liu Xiaohai said with concern, wiping the grime from Xanni's face.

"I'm not doing it! It's my job to clean your office, after all, you're my husband!"

Xanni said playfully. "Ah..."

Liu Xiaohai stared at Xanni in astonishment. He hadn't expected to become her husband after just one day away. None of his women had ever called him that before. Being called "husband" by Xanni filled Liu Xiaohai with a feeling he knew very well—a feeling of responsibility.

"What 'ah'? My wife kissed you, and you didn't even kiss her back."

Xanni's Chinese was still quite broken, making Liu Xiaohai shake his head. He always felt that foreigners spoke Chinese too directly, without any tact.

“Honey, no, no, no, I’m going to do something even more outrageous than what you’d do to me.”

Liu Xiaohai said, pulling Xianni’s hand out of the office. He turned and quickly went into his bedroom. Xianni looked bewildered; she didn’t understand what Liu Xiaohai meant.

“I haven’t finished my work yet.”

As Liu Xiaohai closed the door and walked towards her, Xianni blushed instantly. She already knew what Liu Xiaohai was planning to do, and she felt a mix of excitement and longing. Although she had only been with Liu Xiaohai twice, Xianni found the feeling of being with him to be wonderful. It was a wonderful feeling that Xianni thought about every day. Even at night, when sleeping with her sister Meili, she would often sneakily touch Meili to relieve the burning desire within her.

"So what? Is work that important?"

Liu Xiaohai grinned mischievously, pulling Xianni into his arms and kneading her round, firm buttocks with his hands.

"I haven't showered. I was all sweaty and dirty just now,"

Xianni said shyly, placing her hands on Liu Xiaohai's shoulders.

"It's alright, I can wash it later when I'm done with my work."

After saying that, to prevent Xianni from asking any more questions, Liu Xiaohai covered Xianni's mouth with his own. Their lips touched, and both of them trembled. Liu Xiaohai used his tongue to pry open Xianni's lips and began to explore them deeply.

"What's wrong with Xiaohai today?"

Xianni wondered curiously. She had never seen Liu Xiaohai take the initiative in such matters before. Both times they had been passionate, it was Xianni who had taken the initiative to provoke Liu Xiaohai. She hadn't expected him to change his ways today.

Liu Xiaohai's mental perception was always active, but he used it to block his connection with the twelve Dragon Envoys. Knowing Xianni's thoughts, Liu Xiaohai's actions became more intense. One hand slid up the slit of Xianni's cheongsam, reaching her vulva and vigorously caressing and kneading it. His other hand grasped Xianni's not-so-large breasts and gently squeezed them.

The fierce and frenzied plundering hadn't even finished undressing when Liu Xiaohai's hands and mouth overwhelmed her, leaving her lower body a mess and her whole body burning with desire. She knew that she would continue to suffer unless she could talk to Liu Xiaohai.

As Liu Xiaohai walked to the bedside, the two of them slumped onto it. Only then did their mouths separate. Xianni breathed rapidly, as if she were short of oxygen, her adorable appearance pleasing Liu Xiaohai.

"You're acting strange today,"

Xianni protested, shifting her body as Liu Xiaohai half-pressed her down, finally voicing the question that had been bothering her.

"Strange? Why would I be strange?"

Liu Xiaohai chuckled.

"Your behavior today really surprised me,"

Xianni said honestly, blushing. Indeed, Liu Xiaohai's actions had been gentle and slow the first two times, but today's behavior made her feel as if he were seeing a woman for the first time, with a strong sense of urgency.

“You silly girl, you’re my wife now. Is there anything wrong with a husband doing this to his wife?”

Liu Xiaohai kicked off his shoes by crossing his legs before speaking.

“No, it’s just that I…”

Xenny wanted to say something more, but Liu Xiaohai stopped her with a gesture. Xenny was smart; Liu Xiaohai had to admit that he wouldn’t be so proactive in seeking out women for sex. The reason Liu Xiaohai did this was because of the perverted killer, Dragon Envoy Number One.

At Fujin University, Liu Xiaohai witnessed everything Dragon Envoy Number One did to Hirota Junko. He never expected that among the twelve Dragon Envoys, there was such a perverted guy who would rape and kill women before raping them again. Liu Xiaohai’s thoughts were always aligned with the twelve Dragon Envoys. He knew from what Dragon Envoy Number One did to Hirota Junko that Dragon Envoy Number One was a perverted killer in America who would enjoy himself before killing a woman and then enjoy himself again afterward. Liu Xiaohai had heard of such killers, but seeing it with his own eyes was a completely different experience.

Although he didn't condone methods like those used by Dragon Envoy No. 1, Liu Xiaohai had been simmering with pent-up frustration at Fudan University. The unusual stimulation made him want to vent his anger on a woman. Upon returning to the company, the first woman he saw was Xianni, so he chose her as his target.

At this moment, Liu Xiaohai didn't want verbal communication. He kissed Xianni's lips again, his hands lifting her cheongsam from bottom to top until it was completely off. Liu Xiaohai smiled when he saw Xianni's underwear. He recognized it; it was a modern retro style from both ancient and modern China. Its design was simple, but the patterns and designs were distinctly Chinese.

The bra featured a picture of Guilin's landscape, while Xianni's panties featured a peony, China's national flower. The vibrant peony's center was perfectly positioned at Xianni's vulva, adding to her allure.

"I'm so embarrassed! What are you looking at?"

Xianni covered her face with her hands, feeling very awkward being stared at by Liu Xiaohai without any intention of making a move.

"Wife, you're so beautiful,"

Liu Xiaohai sincerely praised.

Xianni was too shy to speak. Perhaps American women have better genes, their physical development is slightly better than women from other countries, but if we're talking about beauty, the classical beauty of Chinese women is the most beautiful in the world. Xianni's figure isn't voluptuous, but it's just right. Xianni's face isn't exceptionally beautiful, but it makes every man who sees her feel a surge of desire.

"Husband, please stop admiring me, I...I want..."

Just being stared at by Liu Xiaohai's eyes made Xianni feel a lot of fluid flowing from her lower body. She needed it physically, but was too embarrassed to say it aloud.

"What do you want?"

Liu Xiaohai shifted his body, prying open Xianni's small hands that were covering her face, knowing the answer already.

"Hmph...if you won't give it to me, fine, don't blame me for being savage."

As Xianni spoke, she put her hands behind her back and propped herself up. Before Liu Xiaohai could ask what she wanted, Xianni suddenly flipped over and pinned him down.

"If you won't take the initiative, I will. You made me feel uncomfortable earlier, so I want you to make it up to me."

Xianni said with a resentful expression, quickly unbuttoning Liu Xiaohai's shirt.

"Uh, don't couples usually flirt before getting down to business? I just wanted to set the mood."

Xianni's initiative pleased Liu Xiaohai, but he didn't want to get intimate with her so soon.

"Set the mood my foot! Take your pants off!"

After unbuttoning Liu Xiaohai's shirt, Xianni tried to undo his belt, but she couldn't figure it out. It wasn't that Xianni was clumsy; it was Liu Xiaohai's high-tech belt that was to blame.

Liu Xiaohai's belt was specially developed by the Long Clan Research Institute. While it appeared to be a leather belt, it was actually a weapon concealing multiple high-tech features. It could emit infrared rays and could also be used as a gun and sword. The belt buckle's structure was also extremely sophisticated.

"There's no need for this,"

Liu Xiaohai said with a pained expression. He knew Xianni had always been this domineering when he first met her, but this time, the context and their relationship were different.

"What? You won't take it off? Well, I have my ways."

Seeing Liu Xiaohai's reluctance, Xianni suddenly reached for his trousers, unzipped them, and grabbed his erection with one hand. Instead of pulling it out, she playfully scratched it a few times with her fingernails.

"Ouch...ouch...my wife. Are you trying to take away my right to be a man? That's too cruel!"

Seeing that Xianni wasn't joking and was genuinely in pain, Liu Xiaohai quickly begged for mercy.

"Now you know it hurts, right? Then obediently unbuckle your belt and pull your pants down."

Senny's thuggish demeanor amused Liu Xiaohai. Seeing her revert to her former cheerful self, Liu Xiaohai finally made his move, unbuckling his belt and pulling down his pants, throwing them to the ground.

"You dared threaten your husband into doing things for you? See how I deal with you!"

Naked, Liu Xiaohai spoke, bending over and rubbing his erection against Senny's vulva. With increasing speed, Senny moaned continuously. Liu Xiaohai noticed the pink rosy folds on Senny's vulva slowly turning transparent; after a few glances, he realized it was because Senny was aroused and wet.

Enjoying the pleasure of the friction, Senny placed her hands behind her back, unhooked her bra, and let them slip from her arms, tossing them aside to reveal her adorable breasts. Leaning down, Senny pouted and found Liu Xiaohai's lips, kissing him passionately once more. If before they had been bickering, now this was the true beginning of their love.

No one said anything. Liu Xiaohai kneaded Xianni's breasts with both hands, his tongue freely sucking and licking the sweet saliva in Xianni's mouth. Xianni had already pulled her panties down to her ankles. Without the barrier of fabric, their bodies made zero contact. Liu Xiaohai could feel the warm opening of Xianni's vulva emitting heat, like a hot air balloon that had been inflated and was waiting for passengers to board and fly into the sky.

Before Liu Xiaohai could even enter, Xianni had already grabbed his erection with one hand and forced it into her vagina. Her hips and waist moved freely, rising and falling, accompanied by sweet moans. Their passionate lovemaking was in full swing; both were giving their all and taking everything from each other…

“Ah… um… oh… Xiaohai,” she groaned, violently shaking her body, letting her itchy vagina receive the intense stimulation from Long Xiaohai. She tried to make the large glans squeeze and release from her tight vagina, the vaginal walls gently holding the large glans. Then she sat down, sliding the hot penis back down.

Both were enjoying waves of pleasure.

Long Xiaohai, having waited patiently, was enjoying the sensation.

The savage Senny sat on Long Xiaohai, moving up and down, his enormous penis thrusting in and out of her wet, slippery vagina with a squelching sound.

Suddenly, a surge of intense pleasure made Senny quicken, her two full, white breasts swinging joyfully.

Finally, after a series of violent movements, hot semen erupted from the depths of his engorged member, shooting into Senny's honeyed depths.

Senny clung to Long Xiaohai, unwilling to get off, the lingering bliss making her reluctant to leave, while the pleasure below continued...

Chapter 148 Funeral

The construction of the exterior and main building of the Tianxiang Cancer Rehabilitation Center was in full swing. Originally, Liu Xiaohai planned to wait for William to contact him before taking Senny and Mary to America to pick up their grandfather, but an unfortunate event occurred. Liu Xiaohai frowned in his office, looking at an international news newspaper on his desk, his heart filled with sorrow.

Zhang Qibin, the general manager of Tianxiang's American branch, was murdered in his home early this morning. This is a major blow to Liu Xiaohai and the American branch, especially since Tianxiang has just established itself in the US. Liu Xiaohai knew without a doubt that the person capable of such a tactic was connected to the Wood family.

US President William also called to apologize this morning, but Liu Xiaohai was already overwhelmed with grief. His trusted subordinate had been brutally murdered. Regardless of the consequences, Liu Xiaohai was prepared to fly to the US today.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

With a knock on the door, Zhang Chumin entered the office, his face filled with sorrow. Seeing Liu Xiaohai sitting listlessly in his chair, Zhang Chumin slowly walked to his desk.

Liu Xiaohai didn't look up, but he knew why Zhang Chumin had come. He and Zhang Qibin were good friends, and Zhang Qibin's death was also a heavy blow to Zhang Chumin. “No need to say anything more. I will handle Zhang Qibin’s matter personally.”

Zhang Qibin’s eyes were red; he had already secretly shed tears several times today. Hearing Liu Xiaohai’s words, Zhang Chumin nodded and hurriedly said, “Xiaohai, I’m going with you this time. I must find out who killed my friend.”

Liu Xiaohai stared at Zhang Chumin. He could sense Zhang Chumin’s current state of mind, but he couldn’t take Zhang Chumin to America. One reason was that Zhang Chumin couldn’t leave here, and another was the safety issue. Liu Xiaohai didn’t want Zhang Chumin to be harmed again.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaohai refused, "Brother Zhang, I know how you feel. Zhang Qibin isn't just your friend, he's also your colleague. You're not someone I can easily influence, and you're not someone I can easily sway. You're not someone I can easily manipulate." Zhang Chumin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He knew his words had been impulsive. Even if he went to America, he would only be a burden. He was just a weak man, unable to help and only causing trouble. Zhang Chumin wouldn't do something so foolish.

A whole... Liu Xiaohai spent the entire day in self-blame and grief. He should have expected the Wood family to target his Tianxiang branch in the United States, but he never imagined the Wood brothers would be so ruthless. Liu Xiaohai also knew that if it weren't for the incident involving Shani's grandfather, he would never have offended the Wood family.

Liu Xiaohai checked the time; it was 8 PM, and he had only one hour left before boarding his flight to New York. He stood up, his face contorted with rage, and muttered, "I will repay you tenfold for everything you have done." "

On his second trip to the United States, Liu Xiaohai brought a much larger group than before. Besides his eldest and eighth sisters, he also brought hundreds of special forces soldiers from the Ministry of National Defense, along with the twelve Dragon Envoys and the two sisters, Xianni. This time, Liu Xiaohai's main purpose was revenge and to quickly find a suitable successor for Zhang Qibin within the American branch.

In the special hall of Shanghai International Airport, Long Hanhai, Ji Huasheng, and the mayor of Shanghai stood side-by-side. Before them, Liu Xiaohai listened attentively to the teachings of these three elders.

Long Hanhai knew about his grandson's predicament and wanted to handle it personally, but Liu Xiaohai declined his offer. This was also what Long Hanhai wanted; he didn't want his grandson to always live in his shadow, otherwise, when he took over the Long family business, he wouldn't be able to manage such a large enterprise.

Ji Huasheng said from the side, 'Xiaohai, I've spoken with President William of the United States. He will definitely cooperate fully with you to eliminate the Wood family.'

Liu Xiaohai nodded, his eyes gleaming, and said, 'Thank you, Grandpa Ji, Grandpa Zhang, I'll be going now. I will definitely not let you down.' " The three old men all looked at Liu

Xiaohai with approval and nodded in unison. In Long Hanhai's eyes, his grandson was still a child, but one that could not be ignored.

As soon as Liu Xiaohai's figure disappeared into the passageway, Ji Huasheng asked with a worried expression, "Brother Long, are you sure about Xiaohai's trip to America?"

Long Hanhai looked at him questioningly. Just moments ago, Ji Huasheng had been full of confidence in Xiaohai, but now he was asking this. Long Hanhai didn't know what he was thinking. With the Long family's power, even if they couldn't cause any real harm to the Wood family in America, protecting Liu Xiaohai from harm was more than enough.

Seeing Long Hanhai's puzzled expression, Ji Huasheng knew he had forgotten what happened twenty years ago and quickly reminded him, "Brother, have you forgotten the leader of the Death Alliance? He once said that if the Long family made any moves in America, he would take action. Regardless of your identity, he would send assassins to kill members of the Long family." "

Long Hanhai knew what Ji Huasheng was talking about, but he knew that person very well. Long Hanhai thought for a moment and said, 'At that time, he had just retired from the U.S. Marine Corps. Patriotism is something that people of any country have. At that time, I was trying to take over all the businesses and institutions in the United States, so it's understandable that he did that. Now he has led the Death Alliance for so many years, and I believe he won't make the same mistake again.'"

**************************** Inside the Tianxiang American branch in Manhattan, New York City, the employees were all grieving the death of Zhang Qibin. The lack of leadership due to Zhang Qibin's death had plunged the company into chaos. Liu Xiaohai's arrival was like a shot in the arm for these employees.

In Zhang Qibin's office, Jiang Xiaohui, who was Zhang Qibin's confidante, played a crucial role at this critical moment. When she relayed the information about the massacre of Zhang Qibin's entire family to Liu Xiaohai, Jiang Xiaohui was prepared to meet him at any time, but she still didn't expect Liu Xiaohai to arrive so quickly.

Liu Xiaohai glanced at Jiang Xiaobo with admiration, then said with a sorrowful expression, "If it weren't for you, my American branch would probably have been crushed by the local pharmaceutical companies."

Liu Xiaohai wasn't exaggerating. As the top manager, he knew the American pharmaceutical market and that his competitors were established American pharmaceutical companies with considerable strength. The fact that the company was still operating normally on the day Zhang Qibin passed away was the most praiseworthy thing Liu Xiaohai could achieve.

Jiang Xiaobo said apologetically, "Mr. Liu, this isn't my achievement, it's yours."

Liu Xiaohai didn't quite understand his meaning. He had only taken over the company a few months ago, and apart from Ruyan and the smoking cessation supplement, he hadn't personally intervened in management. How could the credit be given to him?

Jiang Xiaobo noticed Liu Xiaohai's confusion and explained, "Because of some of the rules and reward systems you implemented after taking office, every employee's monthly bonus has increased by three percent, and the benefits have also increased significantly."

Liu Xiaohai was even more puzzled. He had never changed any reward system, but the benefits had indeed increased. Remembering that before leaving the US, Zhang Qibin had said he would use all the money Liu Xiaohai had won for him in Las Vegas for the company, Liu Xiaohai finally understood that it was all Zhang Qibin's doing.

Liu Xiaohai shook his head and then nodded. He admired Zhang Qibin's management style; using money to win people's hearts, while not a good method, was the most direct way to reap rich rewards.

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobo, how was Manager Zhang's funeral arranged?"

Jiang Xiaobo was stunned for a moment before saying sadly, "Because this is America, the laws are different from China's. Cremation is not allowed, and he cannot be buried according to Chinese customs."

Jiang Xiaobo's words made Liu Xiaohai a little angry. In his own country, when someone dies, they must go through the cremation process so that the body is not corroded by insects or other things underground. Liu Xiaohai could not accept not cremating or burying according to Chinese customs. Zhang Qibin had no relatives in China; he was an orphan. He had worked hard abroad for so many years to achieve his current success, only to die young.

Liu Xiaohai stood up, looked at the smiling face of Zhang Qibin in a professional photo on the wall, and said coldly, "The funeral must be conducted according to Chinese customs, and it must be absolutely grand. I will handle this. Xiaobo, I hereby appoint you as the company manager. I hope you can do a good job."

Hearing Liu Xiaohai's words, Jiang Xiaobo was stunned. He looked at Liu Xiaohai in disbelief and said with a slightly agitated tone, "Boss, I'm not good at management."

Liu Xiaohai walked to his side, patted Jiang Xiaobo's shoulder, and said seriously, "If I say you can, you can. After the funeral of Manager Zhang's family, you will take office. Don't worry, I will resolve everything here before returning to China."

Hearing Liu Xiaohai's words, Jiang Xiaobo understood what he meant. He was worried that if he became the company manager, he might suffer the same fate as Zhang Qibin. With Liu Xiaohai's assurance, Jiang Xiaobo somehow easily felt at ease.

The remains of Zhang Qibin and his family of three were in the morgue of a hospital in Manhattan. After contacting President William and asking him for help, Liu Xiaohai arranged for a funeral procession to be held in Manhattan's Chinatown.

The day after Liu Xiaohai arrived in the United States, after the cremation of Zhang Qibin and his family of three, a grand funeral began in Manhattan. Besides Liu Xiaohai and his group, Zhang Qibin's friends from his time in the US, all the employees of Tianxiang Branch, and, at the behest of President William, the Manhattan Borough President and some important figures from Manhattan also attended the funeral.

Along a nearly kilometer-long street in front of Zhang Qibin's residence, hundreds of people dressed in black, wearing small flowers on their bodies or chests, all wore solemn and sorrowful expressions. Zhang Qibin had no relatives there. Liu Xiaohai arranged for Xianni to perform the mourning for his family, a Chinese tradition.

Although Xianni was American, she was considered Liu Xiaohai's woman, making her the ideal choice for mourning. The breaking of the fire basin and carrying of the coffin were all handled by some of the strongest employees from Tianxiang Branch, arranged by Liu Xiaohai. Because it was a family of three, Liu Xiaohai peacefully placed all three of their ashes in one coffin, a way of remembering Zhang Qibin.

As the trumpeter began playing his instrument, mournful music filled the air, and the funeral procession for Zhang Qibin started moving. Numerous American police officers, armed and ready, maintained order and protected Liu Xiaohai and his group.

A Chinese man on the street, witnessing the scene, muttered to himself in astonishment, "Aren't Chinese funeral customs prohibited here? This deceased person seems to be no ordinary person."

As the funeral procession passed through Manhattan's Chinatown, it attracted a large crowd of Chinese onlookers. Seeing that the deceased was Chinese, these Chinese were also deeply saddened, but they were quite shocked that a Chinese funeral was being held in America.

There are no designated Chinese cemeteries in the United States, but Liu Xiaohai had purchased a plot in a Manhattan cemetery specifically for Zhang Qibin, ensuring he had a large burial plot. Liu Xiaohai didn't want Zhang Qibin to be deprived of a peaceful resting place in death.

An elderly man from Chinatown volunteered to direct Zhang Qibin's funeral. Familiar with Chinese funeral customs, he saved Liu Xiaohai many unnecessary procedures. A feng shui master from another district determined the auspicious direction of the coffin before it was slowly lowered into the dug pit. With three shouts of farewell to the soul from the elderly man, Liu Xiaohai shoveled the first shovelful of earth and gently sprinkled it on the coffin lid. Then came the other important figures from Tianxiang…

The funeral ended. Liu Xiaohai looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, listening to the distant cawing of crows, his face filled with sorrow. The pained expression gradually cooled and turned ferocious, while the twelve Dragon Envoys behind him each revealed a strong killing intent in their eyes...

Chapter 149 The Super Effect of Thought

After Zhang Qibin's funeral, Liu Xiaohai, Jiang Xiaobo, and a group of employees from Tianxiang's American branch immediately returned to headquarters. After this incident, President William was quite reasonable and sent a lot of federal special police and CUA special forces to secretly surround Tianxiang's American branch. William did not want such a thing to happen again, and the consequences would be unbearable for the President of the United States.

In the company's conference room, Liu Xiaohai, his face grave, looked at the senior staff and managers and said, "I deeply sympathize with Manager Zhang's misfortune, but now is not the time to grieve, but to turn grief into strength. I'm sure you all know how much effort Manager Zhang poured into this company."

Jiang Xiaobo, sitting next to Liu Xiaohai, nodded first and said, "Mr. Liu is right. Manager Zhang's situation has affected our mood, but the dead cannot be brought back to life

. I hope everyone continues to work diligently." At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Mr. Liu, perhaps your medicine is very powerful, but working here is always fraught with danger. I don't think anyone can work with peace of mind."

His words echoed what the others were thinking. Liu Xiaohai nodded, gestured for him to sit back down, stood up, walked behind his chair, and said earnestly, "I guarantee that nothing like this will ever happen again. Their goal was to bring me to America. Now that I'm here, the target will only be me."

The man sighed and continued, "Mr. Liu, I don't underestimate your abilities, but you're a bit too young and impetuous. The other side is clearly American organized crime; how can you guarantee we won't be harmed?"

Liu Xiaohai didn't speak, but nodded to the woman standing by the conference room door. She opened the door, and two tall Americans in black entered. They immediately walked towards Liu Xiaohai. Once

they were standing beside him, Liu Xiaohai pointed to them and said, "This is Mr. Exxon, a top-ranking officer from Manhattan, and this is Mr. Lyman, the captain of the CUA Special Forces. Their mission is simply to protect the safety of all our company's employees."

The man who had been leading the conversation stood up again, but this time he didn't object. “I didn’t believe Mr. Liu’s words just now because I was afraid of death, but I feel at ease with Exxon here.”

Exxon is the first police chief of the Manhattan Police Department. Although his position is not high, his crime-solving rate and methods are top-notch in the police department. Liu Xiaohai did not know what these two Americans were capable of, but he still believed in the strength of the bodyguards recommended by President William, and that they were capable of protecting his company.

After receiving confirmation, Liu Xiaohai quietly told Exxon and Lyman to leave first. He then looked around at all the managers and said, "The position of Manager Zhang is currently vacant, and I choose Jiang Xiaobo to take over it. Of course, if anyone thinks they are more capable than him, they can recommend themselves. I will not overlook any talent."

Jiang Xiaobo did not speak, but looked down at the others. The other managers began to whisper among themselves. In less than a minute, the man who had spoken stood up again, smiling, and said, "We have discussed it. Jiang Xiaobo is already the assistant manager, so this position is perfect for him."

After the man finished speaking, Liu Xiaohai gave him a deep look. His intuition had been reading through the thoughts of these people, and he had also discovered some information he didn't know. This man was Zhang Fan, the sales manager, who looked to be about thirty-five years old. Although he had been with the company for many years, he had always been honest and reliable, which was why Zhang Qibin valued him.

However, under Liu Xiaohai's careful observation, this manager named Zhang Fan was not the simple and honest person he appeared to be. He harbored many thoughts that were unconventional, simply put, a seemingly honest but actually greedy person. Moreover, his position in the company seemed second only to Zhang Qibin, and he was quite adept at winning people over.

After Zhang Fan finished speaking, everyone applauded. Jiang Xiaobo then stood up, nodded to Liu Xiaohai, and then to the other colleagues, though he was reluctant. The salary was higher, but the risk was also greater.

Liu Xiaohai sat down and said expressionlessly, "After the meeting, each department will hand over all previous sales and business reports to Manager Jiang. I need to review them."

Upon hearing Liu Xiaohai's words, Zhang Fan visibly trembled. He had just been thinking about how Jiang Xiaobo would embezzle company sales revenue after taking office, and this "little boss" immediately wanted the sales reports. Zhang Fan secretly glanced at Liu Xiaohai, only to see him calmly looking at the others. Reassured, Zhang Fan and the others agreed.

After the meeting, Liu Xiaohai and Jiang Xiaobo returned to the office. Since Zhang Qibin had left, the office had been hastily renovated, with only some furniture and office supplies changed, and the paint slightly altered, making the previously somber colors a bit brighter.

Liu Xiaohai sat on the sofa, looking at Jiang Xiaobo standing beside him, and said, "Why don't you sit down? Don't be so reserved in front of me."

Jiang Xiaobo said awkwardly, "Boss, you sit there, I'm not used to it."

Damn, there are people like this in the world. Liu Xiaohai smiled helplessly. Jiang Xiaobo was indeed talented, but his social experience was lacking, even compared to him, an eighteen-year-old boy. Moreover, seventeen years ago, Liu Xiaohai had spent his life in a mountain resort. This was the difference in people's psychological qualities.

Some people are born to be bosses, it's their destiny; others are born to be employees, abandoned by heaven. Clearly, Jiang Xiaobo belonged to the latter category, someone abandoned by fate.

Liu Xiaohai stood up and sat in the manager's seat, pointing to the sofa and saying, "Aren't you even used to this?"

Jiang Xiaobo smiled shyly, walked to the sofa, and sat down. Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Liu Xiaohai and said, "Boss, when Manager Zhang was in charge, he asked the sales department and the business department for business reports and sales records, but no one submitted them. The boss back then was Wan Shihao."

Hearing Jiang Xiaobo's words, Liu Xiaohai nodded. Wan Shihao was no good. Under his management, besides squandering the company, he couldn't put it on the right track. If Luo Jiajie hadn't been with Wan Shi, how could they have built such a large, multinational company?

Liu Xiaohai rubbed his chin and said, "No matter who it is, anyone who violates company rules must be severely punished. I will not allow any parasites in the company."

Although Jiang Xiaobo was kind and honest, he was not stupid. He quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu. With me in charge, I, Jiang Xiaobo, will definitely lead the company to glory and make our medicines sold in every corner of the United States."

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "Hehe, your ambition is too small. It's not even a tenth of my ambition. Selling to the whole world is the key, except for Japan."

Jiang Xiaobo nodded. He didn't know why he would unconsciously believe whatever Liu Xiaohai said and wouldn't even think of refuting it. It was a sense of trust from his heart. Jiang Xiaobo felt that Liu Xiaohai was a very extraordinary person, and his courage was not something a boy under 20 years old should have.

Just then, the office door rang, "Knock, knock, knock..."

Liu Xiaohai sat back in his executive chair and gestured for Jiang Xiaobo to speak. Jiang Xiaobo then called out, "Come in."

As the door opened, Zhang Fan and a group of managers walked in. Zhang Fan, in particular, carried a large stack of documents and walked to the desk, almost slamming it down. He said with a half-smile, "I wonder if Boss Liu is looking at this himself or if Manager Jiang is looking at it for you?"

Liu Xiaohai chuckled coldly and said in a serious voice, "Heh, it makes no difference whether he looks at it or I look at it, but I want you to know that I am the boss here. Watch your behavior."

Zhang Fan replied nonchalantly, "Behavior? Oh, I haven't been disrespectful to the boss, have I? I'm just concerned that you might not understand these documents. I can find a professional to interpret them for you."

Zhang Fan's gaze displeased Liu Xiaohai. In the meeting, Liu Xiaohai had already seen that this man was a two-faced person. Although Zhang Fan appeared calm on the surface, his mind was in turmoil. Liu Xiaohai didn't speak but instead opened the documents and began to read.

After reading nearly thirty pages, Liu Xiaohai suddenly looked up and said, "The sales volume of Ruyan slimming capsules is a bit different from the volume of shipments I made in China."

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Boss, you don't know this, but during the period when the US FDA banned the drug, the remaining capsules in the US branch couldn't be sold, so Manager Zhang sent them all out. Everyone else knows this."

Liu Xiaohai looked coldly at Zhang Fan, stared at him for several seconds, and then sighed and said, "In July of last year, the company was banned, and the remaining stock exceeded 500,000 boxes. But as far as I know, Manager Zhang Qibin only sent out 100,000 boxes, and that was on my orders. What about the other 400,000 boxes?"

At a price of 69 yuan per box, 400,000 boxes of Ruyan capsules would be a considerable sum. Moreover, Liu Xiaohai learned from William that his Ruyan capsules were priced at over 130 yuan in some remote areas of the US, much higher than the price he had set.

Zhang Fan's expression changed. Although Zhang Qibin was the manager of the American branch, Zhang Fan was in charge of the drug sales. During the ban on drugs, Zhang Fan transported all 400,000 boxes of Ruyan Capsules out of the company. Then, after consulting with Zhang Qibin, he organized a promotional giveaway: buy one box, get two free. All the capsules were sold this way, but he didn't actually give them away; instead, he sold them privately.

To avoid being discovered, Zhang Fan advised Zhang Qibin not to tell the company headquarters. At that time, Zhang Qibin and Zhang Fan were very good friends and never imagined he would do such a thing, so he didn't report it to Liu Xiaohai, only saying that the drugs were used for promotional purposes.

Seeing Zhang Fan remain silent, Liu Xiaohai closed the document and continued, "In the Serkin district of Virginia, USA, the price of Ruyan slimming capsules is 138. You've always set the selling price. Why is this happening?" Liu Xiaohai

's words sent a chill down Zhang Fan's spine. He couldn't believe this young man possessed such a sharp mind. He had initially thought he was just a lucky and resourceful person, but now, Zhang Fan thought differently.

Liu Xiaohai hadn't examined the document closely, nor did he know its contents. However, he used his mental perception to discern Zhang Fan's thoughts. Before he even began questioning, Zhang Fan had already confessed everything. Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but marvel at the power of his mental perception…

Chapter 150 Cleaning Up the Parasites

Liu Xiaohai's words sent a chill down Zhang Fan's spine. He couldn't believe this young man possessed such a sharp mind. He had initially thought he was just a lucky and resourceful person, but now, Zhang Fan thought differently.

Liu Xiaohai hadn't looked at the document closely, nor did he know what it contained. However, he used his mental perception to see what Zhang Fan was thinking. Before he even started asking questions, Zhang Fan had already confessed everything. Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but marvel at the power of his mental perception…

Zhang Fan's expression didn't escape Liu Xiaohai's notice. After several seconds, Zhang Fan said seriously, "This was arranged by Manager Zhang Qibin before his death. I'm just a subordinate, following Manager Zhang's orders."

Liu Xiaohai had expected him to say this. He pointed at the document and said, "As far as I know, you were in charge of the sales channels. Moreover, there are discrepancies in this document; there's no signature from Zhang Qibin. How do you explain this?" "

Trying to fool me like an idiot?" Liu Xiaohai thought bitterly. Although the company was busy, Liu Xiaohai was still very careful about sales and drug prices. He had not only arranged for Zhang Qibin in the United States but also placed some people he trusted within the company. These people were all senior management talents of the Long Group, only temporarily on loan to help Liu Xiaohai.

Zhang Fan paused, then said innocently, "Boss, I just did whatever Manager Zhang Qibin told me to do. I was just following his orders."

Liu Xiaohai stopped talking and nodded to Jiang Xiaobo. Jiang Xiaobo quickly walked out of the office and returned in less than a minute, carrying a large stack of documents. He walked to the desk and placed it in front of Liu Xiaohai. Seeing these documents, Zhang Fan's face turned pale.

Liu Xiaohai didn't open the documents but started talking about the past: "Before I took over Wanshi Company, you were an employee here, and your performance was excellent. But after I took over, although your performance was still good, I think you know better than me whether the company is profitable or not."

Zhang Fan lowered his head. He already knew that his secret had been exposed. He hadn't expected that even though he had hidden it so well, it would still be discovered. Zhang Fan regretted that he shouldn't have been so greedy. If he had known that this young boss was so shrewd, Zhang Fan wouldn't have dared to do such a foolish thing. Although Liu Xiaohai didn't say anything, Zhang Fan knew that his secret was already known to him.

Liu Xiaohai stopped looking at Zhang Fan and turned to Jiang Xiaobo, saying coldly, "You're the manager here now. Take a look at these documents and see how to handle them. I don't think I need to teach you how to do it."

Jiang Xiaobo didn't understand what Liu Xiaohai meant. He had just taken the documents from an employee outside, following Liu Xiaohai's instructions, but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will do my best."

Liu Xiaohai stood up and let Jiang Xiaobo sit in the manager's seat, gesturing for him to start looking at the documents. He then walked to the sofa and plopped down, glancing at the other managers behind Zhang Fan. Compared to Zhang Fan, some of them seemed more dedicated to the company and hadn't done anything harmful, while others were clearly in cahoots with Zhang Fan. The documents Liu Xiaohai showed Jiang Xiaobo contained records of company management violations and amounts involved.

Jiang Xiaobo carefully opened the document and began to read it. After only a dozen pages, his expression turned somewhat shocked. He looked up at Zhang Fan and said, "Manager Zhang, as the sales manager, although you've clearly stated the monthly sales figures, they're quite different from the actual sales revenue based on the quantity of goods sold by our company."

His tone was unmistakably bureaucratic. Liu Xiaohai wanted to laugh at Jiang Xiaobo's somewhat affected manner, but considering this was a serious matter, he wanted to see how Jiang Xiaobo would handle Zhang Fan's situation.

Cold sweat beaded on Zhang Fan's face. Although he was facing the newly appointed Jiang Xiaobo, Zhang Fan was still afraid and said timidly, "This report was prepared by my subordinates, I'm not very clear about it."

Jiang Xiaobo suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shouted angrily, "You're the manager, they're your subordinates! How can you shirk responsibility like this? Sales is the most important part of the company. As a manager, if you don't pay attention to managing your subordinates, do you think you still deserve to be this manager?"

Zhang Fan nodded and said softly, "I know it was my negligence. I don't deserve to be this manager. I'm willing to go back to being a sales clerk."

Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but admire Zhang Fan, this old fox. Knowing he had made such a big mistake, he could still say such things. At this moment... Jiang Xiaobo softened first, his anger still simmering as he said, "This won't make up for your management negligence. First, sort out these unclear accounts and give me a report immediately tomorrow."

Liu Xiaohai then stood up, walked to Jiang Xiaobo's side, and looked at Zhang Fan, who was secretly pleased with himself, saying, "Some things can't be made up for, Mr. Zhang Fan. My small company still can't accommodate you. Everyone has ambition, but too much ambition will kill you." As

soon as Liu Xiaohai said this, Zhang Fan was stunned, as were Jiang Xiaobo and the other managers. Jiang Xiaobo and the other managers were familiar with Zhang Fan, but they weren't exactly on good terms. No one understood Liu Xiaohai's words; this was a case of those in positions of authority being unaware of their responsibilities.

Zhang Fan, somewhat incredulous and unable to accept it, said, "Boss, I've worked for the company for nearly ten years. Can you give me a chance?"

Liu Xiaohai walked to his side and whispered, "No way. I didn't even hold you accountable for the money you embezzled, and now you're trying to bargain with me. If you calculate my losses, your money probably won't be enough to cover them, and you'll end up in jail."

Liu Xiaohai's words clearly indicated that he didn't intend to pursue Zhang Fan's mistake. However, Zhang Fan didn't want to lose his job. After Liu Xiaohai took over the company, employee salaries and benefits had increased significantly. Moreover, this was America, and working for an American company would be a very tough experience. It was common for Chinese people to be fired, but in Chinese companies, you wouldn't be fired so easily unless you committed a serious offense.

Zhang Fan said absentmindedly, "I don't want to leave here. I can make up for all the money I took."

Liu Xiaohai said helplessly, "It's too late, Jiang Xiaobo. I think you know how to handle this. I don't need subordinates who engage in favoritism or corruption, nor do I need people without management experience. If you can't do it, I'll replace you."

Watching Liu Xiaohai walk out of the office, Jiang Xiaobo's expression changed repeatedly before he finally recovered. Seeing Zhang Fan still there, Jiang Xiaobo took out a piece of paper from the drawer and started writing.

After writing for a few minutes, Jiang Xiaobo picked up a stamp from the table, stamped it on the paper, and said, "Zhang Fan, this is your termination document. Sign it."

Zhang Fan walked dejectedly to the table, staring at the termination document, unsure what to do for a long time. Although he was very experienced in management, he would find it difficult to find such a good pharmaceutical company in the United States. Moreover, Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company had already monopolized the national weight-loss drug market, and now was the perfect time to expand into the international market. He could have made the most of it, but Zhang Fan regretted his mistake.

Seeing Zhang Fan standing there stunned for several minutes, Jiang Xiaobo tapped the table and reminded him, "Hey, Zhang Fan, sign it."

This time, Zhang Fan didn't hesitate. He picked up the pen, signed his name on the document, took the document from Jiang Xiaobo, and walked out of the office without looking back, ignoring even the greetings from his close managers.

Several of the remaining managers wore worried expressions. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," and these managers were already considering their escape routes. Sure enough, several of the managers Jiang Xiaobo mentioned next had committed serious violations, and like Zhang Fan, they were dismissed from the company. Others had committed minor violations, and Jiang Xiaobo appropriately fined them and demoted them. However, there were still a few who were dedicated and loyal to the company; those in lower positions were promoted, and their monthly bonuses were appropriately increased.

Jiang Xiaobo worked late into the night before finally finishing reviewing all the documents. As an assistant, he only now realized that the company's seemingly normal operation was merely a facade. Those managers who appeared kind and serious were all pretending; everyone was driven by self-interest. Jiang Xiaobo thought about it and realized it was related to Liu Xiaohai's age. A boy not even twenty years old as boss—who wouldn't have such thoughts among his subordinates? It would be rare, though.

Just as Jiang Xiaobo finished tidying up all the documents and was about to go eat, the office door was pushed open, and Liu Xiaohai walked in carrying a bag of things. He placed it on the table and said, "I know you haven't eaten, eat now."

Jiang Xiaobo looked at Liu Xiaohai with gratitude, opened the bag, and saw that it contained hot and sour shredded potatoes, braised pork, some white rice, and a bowl of white porridge. These were all Jiang Xiaobo's favorite foods, and Liu Xiaohai had bought them all for him.

Jiang Xiaobo didn't start eating

immediately. Instead, he smiled broadly and thanked Liu Xiaohai, saying, "Boss, thank you. How did you know I like these dishes? Even my wife didn't know." Liu Xiaohai smiled, knowing he couldn't say it was due to his intuition, and lied, "Zhang Qibin told me."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobo put down his chopsticks, his face filled with sorrow. He looked at Liu Xiaohai and murmured, "Boss, although I'm just an assistant, Manager Zhang Qibin used to treat me like his own brother. He brought me to where I am today. Although I'm powerless, I want to avenge him."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobo broke down in tears, a man nearing thirty crying uncontrollably.

Liu Xiaohai placed his hand on Zhang Fan's shoulder, his eyes glistening with tears, and said softly, "Revenge isn't your job. Your task is to manage the company well. Zhang Qibin once told me that you're the only one in the company who can take his place. You just need some training. I'll handle the revenge."

Jiang Xiaobo was still sobbing, but she raised her head, a resolute expression on her face, and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in this position. I will eliminate all the corrupt elements in the company as soon as possible, and then select a new batch."

Liu Xiaohai shook his head; he didn't... Jiang Xiaobo needed to find someone, and Liu Xiaohai wouldn't believe that Zhang Fan wouldn't be among the people Jiang Xiaobo found. To avoid any misunderstanding, Liu Xiaohai said, "I'll send people from China, don't worry. They're all sales and business talents, just here to assist you. I hope you can become a high-level talent in my eyes. Don't disappoint me! Hurry up and eat, the food's getting cold."

Jiang Xiaobo nodded. He had no reason to doubt Liu Xiaohai's words, because Liu Xiaohai had no reason to lie to him. After calming down, Jiang Xiaobo, who was indeed very hungry, picked up his chopsticks and quickly started eating.

The next day, Liu Xiaohai held another brief meeting, but this time, many managers were absent. Jiang Xiaobo was quite efficient; the dismissal orders issued yesterday were followed by the departure of those dismissed today. This was also related to US legislation, which allows employers to terminate labor contracts at will without paying compensation after signing them. This is why the US has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world.

Chapter 151

Liu Xiaohai was decisive. He called Luo Jiajie in China and selected some sales talent to come to the United States. He also asked Zhang Chumin to find several economic management talents. After bringing these people over, Liu Xiaohai still wanted Jiang Xiaobo to continue as the manager of the antenna's American branch, because Liu Xiaohai could see that Jiang Xiaobo was a trustworthy talent with a lot of untapped potential.

Two days had passed since Zhang Qibin's incident. After being busy reorganizing the company, Liu Xiaohai realized that doing things personally was really difficult, especially reviewing so many documents and figuring out the company's sales channels and strategic positioning—so many complex things. Thinking of Luo Jiajie's constant reassurance that he wasn't tired, Liu Xiaohai was deeply moved. With such subordinates, how could he not feel relaxed?

The talents selected from China arrived in the United States one after another. To Liu Xiaohai's relief, these talents didn't need to familiarize themselves with the business at all; they were immediately up and running. Within a morning of arriving at the company, they had mastered almost all the business processes. Jiang Xiaobo got an assistant and a secretary and was surprised to find that the assistant's abilities were formidable. He could judge the quality of documents at a glance and approve them.

With the arrival of these people, Liu Xiaohai finally felt at ease. On his fourth day in the United States, President William came uninvited to Liu Xiaohai's hotel. Because of Liu Xiaohai's special status, this hotel, which was not in a bustling area of Manhattan, was entirely occupied by guards. The hotel had five floors, and the fifth floor housed Liu Xiaohai, the Twelve Dragon Envoys, and his eldest sister, eighth sister, and others.

In Liu Xiaohai's bedroom sat US President William and two other people Liu Xiaohai didn't recognize. Liu Xiaohai knew William had come because of Shani's grandfather, Trennee Ferrat. Sure enough, William immediately said, "Xiaohai, I've come to tell you some good news."

Liu Xiaohai nodded. William had mentioned good news more than once during their phone conversations, but he still pretended not to understand and asked, "Mr. President, what is the good news?"

William coughed before saying, "Trennee Ferrat's case will be reopened soon, and it will be closed again in less than a week. But this time, Trennee Ferrat will not be sentenced; he will be released."

Liu Xiaohai asked excitedly, "Mr. President, are you confident?"

William didn't answer directly, but... Only then did he begin to introduce the two people beside him. "This is Mr. Keith Rum, Director of the FBI, and this is Mayor Caron Sepp of Elgin. They are currently in charge of this case."

Keith Rum, dressed in a black suit, his stern American face expressionless, still politely addressed Liu Xiaohai, "Mr. Liu, we've investigated. The case of Trennny back then was indeed strange, and we investigated all the police officers who arrested him. There are some reasons we won't reveal."

Even if he hadn't said it, Liu Xiaohai knew that the American police must have been bribed. This is common in any country, but Liu Xiaohai didn't care. As long as Shani's grandfather was safe and sound, that was all that mattered.

Caron Sepp, standing beside him, didn't speak but nodded. His status here was among the lowest, merely a minor mayor. Liu Xiaohai wondered why William had summoned him as well.

Liu Xiaohai nodded understandingly and said, "Mr. President, I just want Shani to see her grandfather as soon as possible."

William's expression changed, and he glanced at Caron Sepp. Caron then spoke, "Mr. Liu, we'll resolve your matter quickly, but please do us a favor as well."

Liu Xiaohai looked at Caron Sepp and immediately discerned his thoughts from his expression. He smiled and said, "Please speak freely. I'm just a businessman; I'll do my best if it's within my power."

Liu Xiaohai knew that William hadn't revealed his identity to the two men, otherwise they wouldn't be communicating with him so calmly.

Caron Sepp stated directly, "The Wood family, I think Mr. Liu should know about it. We've investigated and found that the Wood family was responsible for the massacre of your company's manager and his entire family, but we haven't found any solid evidence."

John Wood—the name immediately flashed through Liu Xiaohai's mind. He couldn't think of any enemies he could possibly have in America. The Wood family was one of the most powerful families in the US; their Las Vegas casino alone controlled almost a third of America's wealth. Moreover, the financial crisis orchestrated by Ferratt Wood had deeply impressed Liu Xiaohai. For someone to dare challenge the leadership of a nation—that person's audacity was astounding, and they managed to do it without leaving a trace.

Liu Xiaohai said somberly, "You don't need to investigate. I'll handle it myself. President William, you won't mind me making some big moves on American soil, will you?"

Liu Xiaohai was implying that the methods he would use to deal with the Wood family would be considerable. Of course, Liu Xiaohai needed William's approval on this point; otherwise, it would be very inconvenient for him to do so.

William's face lit up with surprise, and he said excitedly, "Xiao Hai, do whatever you want. I won't interfere. If you don't have enough manpower, I can give you complete control of the FBI and the CUA."

As soon as William spoke, Keith Rum and Caron Sepp beside him looked at him in astonishment. Although the president had said he was meeting an important figure on the way here, they hadn't expected to meet a child. However, when they learned that this boy was the founder of Ruyan slimming capsules, they were both surprised for a long time.

Liu Xiaohai looked up and smiled, saying, "President William, you're too kind. As long as you give me a license, which can be used anywhere, I'll be satisfied."

The license Liu Xiaohai mentioned was something only the president of each country possessed. This license was similar to the imperial sword issued by ancient emperors, allowing him to do almost anything, and also representing his presidential status.

William stood up and said earnestly, "Xiao Hai, I can give you this license, but I hope you can help me eliminate him completely."

Liu Xiao Hai understood William's words; he wanted him to get rid of Ferratt Wood, this financial bigwig. Even if William hadn't said it, Liu Xiao Hai was prepared to eliminate him, but not by force. He wanted to completely defeat Ferratt Wood financially. This was Liu Xiao Hai's personality; encountering an opponent who could be his equal was what Liu Xiao Hai most wanted.

After seeing William and the other two off, Liu Xiao Hai hurriedly asked his older sister to bring Shani and Mary over. He wondered what their reaction would be if they knew their grandfather was about to be released. Liu Xiao Hai knew Shani would definitely go crazy and shower him with kisses. Liu Xiao Hai couldn't help but imagine it in the room.

The bedroom door opened, and Shani and Meryl walked in, while the older sister closed the door and didn't come in. Liu Xiaohai saw that the two sisters were still in their pajamas, their faces still sleepy, and said, "I called you here because I wanted to tell you some good news."

Shani rubbed her eyes, ignoring Liu Xiaohai's expression, and said, "Go ahead and tell me, I'm going to sleep."

What kind of reaction was this? Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but feel annoyed, but Meryl was more rational. She looked at Liu Xiaohai seriously and asked, "Is it about my grandfather?"

Liu Xiaohai didn't speak, but nodded with a smile. Shani perked up immediately when she heard about her grandfather. Seeing Liu Xiaohai's mysterious smile, she immediately guessed what it meant. She lunged forward, jumped up, and climbed onto Liu Xiaohai. Ignoring Meryl beside her, she kissed Liu Xiaohai's mouth, eyes, and nose fiercely, leaving Shani's saliva everywhere she went.

Liu Xiaohai was truly defeated by Shani's madness. Seeing that Meryl was still there, Liu Xiaohai picked Shani up and helped her off him to the ground. He wiped the drool from his face with his sleeve and said, "Don't be so excited. Your grandfather won't be released for a few more days. You can thank me then."

As soon as Liu Xiaohai finished speaking, Shani stopped jumping on him frantically, but Meryl walked to Liu Xiaohai's side. To Liu Xiaohai's surprise, she gently kissed his cheek. Liu Xiaohai thought it was out of politeness and gratitude, but he sensed that Meryl was actually thinking of offering herself to him.

Xenia clapped her hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Xiao Hai, my sister said that since you've helped us so much, she wants to be your wife to repay you!"

Liu Xiao Hai feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Ah..."

Xenia slapped Liu Xiao Hai's head, "Silly boy, I talked with my sister all night yesterday. She said she liked you the first time she saw you, and she even said..."

Xenia was about to continue when Melly quickly interjected, "Xiao Hai, don't listen to her nonsense, I didn't..."

Melly didn't dare look at Liu Xiao Hai as she spoke, her voice barely audible, and even her address to him changed to the affectionate "Xiao Hai."

Liu Xiao Hai knew this wasn't the time to pretend. He reached out and embraced the two sisters, looking at Xenia on the left and Melly on the right. Xenia possessed a cute beauty, while Melly had a mature Western beauty. Her 36D breasts filled out her pajamas perfectly. Western women's figures always exuded a fatal allure. Holding the two women in his arms, Liu Xiao Hai felt his love radiate from him.

Xani glanced at her sister, Meryl, and their eyes met in unison. In the instant Liu Xiaohai was stunned, they both quickly turned and kissed him on his left and right cheeks, the kisses lingering long afterward…

Chapter 152

Xani glanced at her sister, Meryl, and their eyes met in unison. In the instant Liu Xiaohai was stunned, they both quickly turned and kissed him on his left and right cheeks, the kisses lingering long afterward…

Kissed by the two sisters, Liu Xiaohai smiled, sensing that Meryl also harbored feelings for him. Liu Xiaohai felt his self-control was becoming increasingly unrestrained, yet he was also happy.

Xani then said, “Um… I’m sleepy.” As

soon as she finished speaking, she broke free from Liu Xiaohai’s embrace, gave Meryl a meaningful look, then looked at Liu Xiaohai, and walked out of the bedroom without looking back, playfully winking at the two of them as she left.

Meili blushed. What was her sister doing, leaving her in the room? She wanted to leave, but Liu Xiaohai held her close. Shyly, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sleepy too."

Liu Xiaohai smiled gently and said, "Sleepy? Rest here with me."

It was obvious he was professing his love for Meili, but she was shy and afraid, her breathing quickening as she said, "I...I'd better go back to my room."

Liu Xiaohai: "Are you afraid of me?"

Meili looked into Liu Xiaohai's eyes and nodded, saying, "I'm not ready yet."

Liu Xiaohai turned Meili to face him and whispered, "If you love me, you don't need to prepare anything. You just need to know you'll be my woman."

Meili looked up at Liu Xiaohai with a flushed face. She couldn't help but admire him. Liu Xiaohai's appearance was indeed unforgettable for any girl who saw him once. Moreover, Liu Xiaohai was a combination of all the qualities of an Eastern person. The only thing that Meili felt was a little inappropriate was that Liu Xiaohai was more than two years younger than her, and she had actually fallen in love with a younger brother.

Sensing what Mei Li was thinking, Liu Xiaohai deliberately asked, "Is it because I saved your grandfather that you like me?"

As soon as he said this, Mei Li quickly waved her hand, shaking her head vigorously, saying, "No, it wasn't. The first time I saw you, you saved Xianni, and I... I liked you then. Maybe there was some gratitude mixed in, but love was more of a factor."

Hearing Mei Li's broken Chinese explanation, Liu Xiaohai smiled but remained silent, lowering his head to kiss Mei Li's lips. When their lips touched, Mei Li's body visibly trembled. As their passionate kiss deepened, their clothes gradually disappeared until they were completely naked. The frenzied kisses and caresses, Mei Li's passionate reactions, gave Liu Xiaohai a strong sense of conquest.

Naked, they faced each other, and Liu Xiaohai's mouth licked down from Mei Li's cleavage to her deep navel.

His tongue circled there a few times before continuing its advance, heading towards the thicket of hair.

The plump triangle of skin was incredibly alluring. Long Xiaohai closed his eyes and licked the edge of her vulva with his large tongue.

"Mmm..."

Mei Li groaned excitedly. It was a sensation she had never experienced before, and just that one touch sent shivers down her spine.

"No, Xiaohai, I'm so embarrassed."

Mei Li squeezed her legs together tightly. After all, it was her first time, and she hadn't known Long Xiaohai for long. How could she let him lick her vulva?

Long Xiaohai also felt that this oral sex was too much for Mei Li to handle at first. He quickly got up and climbed back onto Mei Li, but his penis was unwilling to give up. He used his hands to spread Mei Li's legs and inserted his penis into her vulva, which had just been moistened by his tongue.

Mei Li looked at Long Xiaohai's face in fear.

"Xiaohai, be gentle."

Because she could feel that his penis seemed to have grown longer and thicker.

Long Xiaohai's thick, hard glans slowly pushed open the two vaginal walls and slipped inside. With just a gentle push, the vaginal walls enveloped his glans.

Seeing the tense look on Mei Li's face, Long Xiaohai lowered his head and kissed her small mouth. At the same time, he pressed his body down, and his erect penis broke through the hymen with a "whoosh."

"Ah..."

A tearing pain made Mei Li cry out, "Ah... Xiaohai... it hurts so much..."

Long Xiaohai quickly used his mental power to stop Mei Li's expression of pain. He moved his buttocks against Mei Li's body, kissing her small mouth and frantically sucking on her fragrant tongue while slowly thrusting in and out.

Mei Li's moans changed from pain to ecstasy.

"Oh... ah ah..."

Because it was Mei Li's first time having sex, her orgasm came quickly. Her body writhed under Long Xiaohai, who then began to thrust faster and faster.

Mei Li's breathing grew increasingly rapid as Long Xiaohai's penis powerfully thrust deep into her vagina. After a series of forceful thrusts, Long Xiaohai convulsed and ejaculated, his semen gushing into Mei Li's vagina. After

a long while, Liu Xiaohai embraced Mei Li, stroking her face gently, and said tenderly, "Do you like this?"

Mei Li buried her head in Liu Xiaohai's chest, shyly saying, "No, it's my first time. You don't even know how to be gentle with a woman."

Liu Xiaohai: "Oh, you've learned well, you know how to be gentle with a woman in this situation."

Mei Li raised her head, looking disdainful, and said, "I've studied Chinese culture before. Besides the language, which I can't speak perfectly, I know many Chinese customs and traditions."

Liu Xiaohai pinched Mei Li's high nose and smiled, saying, "Well, you'll have to come live with me in China someday. " "At the very least, you need to speak Chinese as fluently as your native language."

Mei Li shook her head, shaking off Liu Xiaohai's hand, and said with a charmingly innocent expression, "Who wants to go back to China with you? I don't want to be a Chinese wife."

Her words surprised Liu Xiaohai, but Mei Li continued, "There's a Chinese saying, 'A beaten wife is like a kicked noodle.' I'm afraid of being bullied."

Liu Xiaohai smiled knowingly. There are indeed such sayings in some parts of China, but in today's society, men who beat their wives are as rare as virgins. Couples who can't get along usually get divorced with a contract. Domestic violence is practically unheard of in China.

Knowing that Mei Li was joking, Liu Xiaohai said seriously, "A man who hits his wife isn't a man. Unless you really do something to betray me, or there's a situation that forces me to take action, maybe I really will hit you."

Liu Xiaohai's words were clear, and Mei Li could obviously tell that he wasn't the kind of man with violent tendencies. She pouted and said, "I don't think so then."

The two chatted for a long time. Liu Xiaohai sat up, preparing to get up and get something to eat, when Mei Li hugged his waist, her face flushed, and said, "I want to do it again."

Didn't you just say you couldn't take it anymore? Liu Xiaohai frowned and glanced at Mei Li, but didn't say anything. Because Mei Li was a natural-born "white tiger" (a woman who is sexually active), her needs were several times that of an average woman. More importantly, Liu Xiaohai hadn't used his mental power to help Mei Li recover her strength, but she genuinely asked again.

Across from the hotel where Liu Xiaohai was staying was a Chinese restaurant. At this moment, the kitchen was bustling with activity. The chefs who usually worked at the small restaurant were standing in the shadows, watching the sudden appearance of a dozen or so chefs and numerous men in black.

The chef in charge was Liu Xiaohai's personal chef. Knowing Liu Xiaohai's favorite flavors, he had come to America with the guards protecting Liu Xiaohai to cook for him. Liu Xiaohai was still kept in the dark about his arrival.

After his passionate encounter with Mei Li, Liu Xiaohai was truly hungry. He hadn't eaten breakfast, but lunch was unavoidable. He got up and woke the still-sleeping Xianni. Surrounded by his older sister and others, he left the hotel.

Because there was a Chinese restaurant nearby and it was close to Tianxiang's American branch, Liu Xiaohai chose to stay there. As soon as he arrived outside the restaurant, Liu Xiaohai noticed something was wrong. It was lunchtime, but the restaurant was completely empty.

Senny and Mary, arm in arm with Liu Xiaohai, entered the restaurant. Senny looked around and frowned, saying, "It's so quiet here. Is the food bad?"

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "You'll know once you try it. It shouldn't be bad."

Senny nodded. She would unconditionally believe whatever Liu Xiaohai said. As soon as they sat down, at Liu Xiaohai's signal, her older sister gestured towards the distance, and immediately waiters began serving the dishes.

Since it was a Chinese restaurant, the cuisine was mainly Chinese, but the few American dishes on the table surprised Senny and Mary.

Mary exclaimed in disbelief, "This is fish fillet salad!"

Senny looked at Liu Xiaohai in surprise and said, "How did you know my sister and I like this dish?"

Although she had spent a lot of time with Liu Xiaohai, Senny had never told him what she liked to eat, and her sister Mary would never tell her either.

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "I like you all, so I should like everything about you. Eat, it's still fresh."

Xianni already knew of Liu Xiaohai's extraordinary abilities. From the moment she met him, she knew his identity wasn't that of an ordinary businessman as he claimed. How could an ordinary businessman have the US president send people to protect him in America, and back in China, be surrounded by countless guards? The events in Shanghai were still fresh in Xianni's memory. Although she didn't know how Liu Xiaohai killed those assassins, she saw the car mysteriously rise into the air and crush them.

Liu Xiaohai and his group were eating in the restaurant. Passersby occasionally walked by. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the roof of a building in the distance. The person held a black sniper rifle, revealing half their head—yellow skin, black hair, a typical Chinese appearance.

He moved his fingers, brought the earpiece to his mouth, and whispered, "Number one is safe. Eliminate danger for number one."

Then, numbers two through ten reported safety in the earpiece. After ten reports of safety, a man's voice rang out: "Anyone who approaches within fifty meters of the restaurant and behaves abnormally is to be killed immediately. The young master must not be harmed."

If Liu Xiaohai heard this voice, he would be extremely excited, because the speaker was none other than Instructor Ouyang. Although he was Liu Xiaohai's combat coach, he also bore the responsibility of protecting him. A few days after Liu Xiaohai arrived in the United States, Ouyang had brought a group of China's best special forces soldiers to the US to secretly protect Liu Xiaohai and help him quickly eliminate his enemies in America—this was also Long Hanhai's intention.

Liu Xiaohai and his group enjoyed their meal in the restaurant. Meanwhile, the special forces soldiers led by Instructor Ouyang each held a hot dog and carried a bottle of their own water. When performing security duties, they couldn't appear in crowded places like normal people; they had to hide in a corner to carry out their missions.

These men had no complaints. Their duty was sacred: protecting someone who could succeed the Long Group was the highest honor for them. Even if they died, it would be for the country, and their death would be worthwhile.

Liu Xiaohai and his group ate for over ten minutes before leaving the restaurant. Since his perception had changed, Liu Xiaohai had noticed a significant expansion in its range. Previously, he could only sense the thoughts of people within a few meters, but now it had expanded to several hundred meters. Moreover, he could easily sense information about whether he was in danger or safe in his surroundings.

Two days remained until the retrial of Shani's grandfather. During these two days, Liu Xiaohai had nothing to do. His company now had talent he'd recruited from China, and Jiang Xiaobo's management skills were rapidly improving. Liu Xiaohai quite liked Jiang's loyalty.

Walking along some of the bustling streets of Manhattan, Liu Xiaohai exclaimed, "So boring!"

Indeed, in America, Liu Xiaohai really didn't know what to do. If he were in China, he'd be busy producing new drugs while also spending time with his many women, his time practically overflowing.

Shani, on Liu Xiaohai's left, smiled and said, "Let me take you to play, Guinness World Records."

Liu Xiaohai: "Take me? Didn't you want to go yourself?"

Shani lowered her head shyly and whispered, "I want to play, you can't just say it so directly."

Shani really wanted to play. Before meeting Liu Xiaohai, she was busy with her sister, Meili, rescuing her grandfather, but now that he was about to be released, Shani felt relieved and wasn't worried about any unforeseen changes.

Mei Li and Liu Xiaohai both burst into laughter. Although Shani was a few years older than Liu Xiaohai, she still acted like a child in his presence. Mei Li, however, wasn't very interested in playing and deliberately said, "Xiaohai, why don't you go back and take a nap?"

Mei Li wanted to tease her younger sister, but her words immediately drew two strange glances.

Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but think, "No wonder she's called White Tiger; she's so eager for this kind of thing."

This time, Liu Xiaohai didn't use his mental perception to guess the sisters' thoughts. Mental perception wasn't constant; Liu Xiaohai discovered that it would decrease and then recover.

Unlike Liu Xiaohai, who only thought about it in his heart, Shani directly said to her sister, "Sister, we can't do this during the day. It's more fun at night."

Hearing Shani's words, Meili blushed with embarrassment but retorted, "Don't tell me you and Xiaohai haven't done it during the day. I know of at least three times."

Shani thought for a moment and replied directly, "No way, Xiaohai and I have only done it five times in total, twice during the day."

Meili then smiled slyly, looking at her sister with a meaningful gaze. Shani realized there was something wrong with her words and immediately understood that her sister was deliberately teasing her. Ignoring the other people around, Shani rushed to Liu Xiaohai's right side, hugged Meili, and cried out, "Sister, you're bullying me! Make Liu Xiaohai take Meili back for punishment!"

Sigh, these two sisters, Liu Xiaohai sighed. Meeting these two women would be a turning point in his life. Although Shani and Mary were Westerners, they possessed an openness and boldness unmatched by Eastern women. Of course, Western women couldn't compare to the beauty of Eastern women; the classical beauty of Eastern women remained unparalleled in the world. ( Chapter 153 ,

May 25th) For safety reasons, Liu Xiaohai didn't take Shani out. Instead, he returned to the hotel and dragged the two sisters into the bedroom for a passionate encounter until they surrendered and begged for mercy. Only then was Liu Xiaohai satisfied and shared his love with the two sisters. The American Tianxiang branch finally officially began operations. The production line in China also saw a significant increase in production of Ruyan (a type of herbal medicine). Originally, it produced 300,000 boxes a day; now it produced nearly 3 million boxes a day—almost ten times more. Combined with Tianxiang's other two health products and smoking cessation pills, Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company had become a world-renowned company. Liu Xiaohai's name was becoming increasingly known, but few people had seen his face featured in newspapers. With President William's help, the US drug inspection authorities stopped causing trouble, and the American-made "Slimming Pills" produced by the American Merson Pharmaceuticals Group gradually lost its edge. The world's number one weight-loss drug had become a gold standard in the US, as it was more than half again as expensive as "Ruyan" (a similar weight-loss product), and its effects were not as good. After "Ruyan" officially entered the US market, the number of people buying "Slimming Pills" at sales points in several states decreased by hundreds every day. Elgin is just a city, and although it's a relatively remote area in northern America, its environment is quite beautiful. Mount Kepler, the Grand Canyon of Yongecas, and other famous attractions are all part of Elgin's reputation. Furthermore, its proximity to Las Vegas, the world's leading gambling city, makes it a popular destination for tourists from around the world. Liu Xiaohai and his group arrived at the place where Shani and Meryl used to live. Tomorrow was the day their grandfather's retrial was scheduled for Elgin, and the courtroom was in Elgin. This time, Liu Xiaohai had more guards than he usually did. To ensure Shani and her grandfather's safety, Liu Xiaohai didn't trust the federal government to protect them, only having them stand guard around the perimeter. Shani skipped happily, pulling Liu Xiaohai along, saying, "Come on, let's go horseback riding! Lina and my sister can come too!" Lina was also from Elgin, and since she was close to Shani, she had come along as well, finding a good excuse to take leave without losing pay. Liu Xiaohai smiled and nodded. Horseback riding was his favorite activity as a child. At Hanhai Manor, he had ridden countless fine horses, and seeing so many horses on the farm excited him. Lina then said, "I can't ride a horse." Meryl shook her head, saying, "Little sister, don't you know I'm terrified of riding horses?"

Senny frowned. Two out of the four couldn't ride. Although she wanted to share a horse with Liu Xiaohai, Senny opted for one of them to teach the other two. Because of their height difference, Lina was much taller than Senny, so Senny had to share a horse with her sister, leaving Liu Xiaohai and Lina to ride together.

Liu Xiaohai looked at the dozens of horses, communicated with them using his mental sense, and spotted a particularly spirited one. He gestured for Lina to go, saying, "That horse, let's go."

Lina nodded shyly. This was the first time she'd been so close to a man. Senny and Mary had already mounted their horses and were galloping across the grassland behind the farm. Seeing the tall, black horse, Lina felt a little scared.

Liu Xiaohai walked up to the horse's head, reached out and stroked it, saying, "Horse, horse, today I'm taking a beautiful woman riding. Behave yourself, or you won't get any dinner tonight. Lower yourself so the beautiful woman can get on."

Lina looked at Liu Xiaohai with some confusion, finding it amusing. But a few seconds later, the horse really lowered its head and slowly knelt down on the ground. Seeing this, Lina covered her mouth in astonishment; it was unbelievable.

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "Many things in the world seem impossible, but once you try to do them, you'll find they're actually quite simple."

Lina regained her composure and asked, "Are you a horse trainer? Otherwise, how could you make this horse so obedient?"

Liu Xiaohai shook his head, reached out and took Lina's small hand, saying, "I have thought about doing this before. Let's get on first, or the horse will get angry."

Lina nodded, carefully spreading her legs and mounting the horse. She was wearing very short denim shorts, so it was easy for her to get on. Liu Xiaohai supported her from the side, instructing her to first grasp the reins, then patted the horse's back, and the horse cleverly stood up.

Seeing Lina sway slightly, Liu Xiaohai quickly said, "Hold on, I'm almost on."

After saying that, Liu Xiaohai flipped over and easily straddled the horse, mounting it and pressing his body against Lina's.

Lina sensed the distance between herself and Liu Xiaohai behind her and tried to move forward, but it was very inconvenient. The more she twisted her body, the closer she got to Liu Xiaohai, and she ended up sitting on his lap.

Liu Xiaohai grabbed the reins, held Lina's small hand, and whispered in her ear, "Relax, riding a horse is very simple. I'll explain the steps to you, and you can get used to the bumps on horseback first."

As Liu Xiaohai spoke, he gently squeezed the horse's back with his legs, and the horse neighed and galloped forward. The sudden forward movement caused Lina's body to naturally lean backward, falling into Liu Xiaohai's arms. Her small hands gripped the reins tightly, and her eyes closed.

Sensing Lina's fear in his arms, Liu Xiaohai tightened his grip, making sure she was securely in his embrace. However, this caused Lina's body to bob up and down, and because her legs had no foothold, her buttocks rubbed against Liu Xiaohai's body. Before they had ridden fifty meters, Liu Xiaohai suddenly became aroused, an erection that shouldn't have been there.

Lina, perhaps too excited to notice, didn't realize what was pressing against her buttocks. Liu Xiaohai, however, was captivated by Lina's fragrance. Lina wasn't as pretty as Shani, nor as voluptuous as Meryl, but she possessed a pure beauty. Her long, flowing hair and 34D breasts accentuated her perfectly.

Lost in thought, Liu Xiaohai glanced into the distance. Shani and Meryl were long gone, and there wasn't a soul in sight around the grassland. He pressed his head against Lina's face; she trembled noticeably but offered no resistance.

Chapter 154 Conquering

Lina Lina is a smart girl, and Liu Xiaohai saw this in her learning to ride a horse. In just a short while, Lina was able to completely control the reins and the direction and speed of the horse's run. Moreover, unlike at the beginning, she did not like to squeeze the horse's belly tightly with her legs, which would frighten the horse.

Releasing the reins, Liu Xiaohai relaxed considerably, retracting his hands and letting go of the reins. He felt a surge of discomfort as the two bodies pressed together. During the bumpy ride, Liu Xiaohai unintentionally became aroused, causing Lina to shift her hips. However, the more she moved, the more uncomfortable Liu Xiaohai became. Soon, he was breathing heavily; this feeling was truly abnormal.

Liu Xiaohai leaned back slightly and whispered in Lina

's ear, "Relax." His words were well-intentioned, but Lina interpreted them differently. Hearing this, Lina indeed stopped moving and sat obediently on the horse, letting Liu Xiaohai rub against her body.

Liu Xiaohai put his arms around Lina's waist and started chatting with her: "How come I've never seen your boyfriend?"

Lina didn't turn around, blushing as she said, "I've never been in a relationship."

Hearing Lina's words, Liu Xiaohai was taken aback. In such an open country as America, girls like the Shani sisters and Lina who could maintain their first love were truly rare. Looking at Lina's red earlobes, Liu Xiaohai sighed and said, "Are your standards too high? With your qualities, finding a good boy shouldn't be difficult."

Lina chuckled softly. What qualities did she have? She was just reasonably good-looking, but in terms of background and family, she couldn't compare to Shani. Besides, she wasn't the kind of girl who was easy to get along with. Lina had been pursued before, but those men were only after her body, something Lina firmly opposed.

Knowing that Liu Xiaohai and Shani had a special relationship, Lina joked, "My standards aren't high. As long as I can find a rich man like Shani, that's fine. Haha..."

After saying that, Lina laughed.

Liu Xiaohai frowned, knowing Lina was referring to him. However, Lina assumed he had bribed Xianni. To avoid misunderstanding, Liu Xiaohai explained, "Xianni and I are truly in love. I'm not some rich guy. If a girl is only after money, it will only harm her."

Lina nodded. She and Xianni were best friends, and she already knew about their relationship from Xianni. However, Xianni hadn't mentioned that her sister, Meili, was also involved with Liu Xiaohai. Now, somewhere on the grassland, Lina was getting anxious. If she and Liu Xiaohai continued on horseback like this, something bad might happen.

After thinking for a moment, Lina said, "Boss Liu, let's dismount and rest for a while. I'll call Xianni and ask where she is."

Liu Xiaohai didn't want to continue chatting with Lina on horseback either. He grabbed the reins, commanded the horse to stop, dismounted, and helped Lina down from the horse.

The horse strolled off to the side and began grazing on the grass. Lina took out her phone and called Shani, but no one answered. After several calls, Lina gave up and went to Liu Xiaohai's side, saying, "What's Shani doing? She's not answering my calls."

Liu Xiaohai looked up, his thoughts returning to normal, and smiled, saying, "Maybe she and Meili are still on horseback, or maybe she didn't hear me. Let's sit here and chat."

Liu Xiaohai took off his coat, lay down on the grass, and let Lina sit on it. He sat down next to her, glancing meaningfully southward.

Seeing Liu Xiaohai's gentlemanly manners, Lina sat on his coat, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Mr. Liu, you and Shani have a good relationship, don't you?"

Liu Xiaohai waved his hand and said, "Lina, don't you think it's awkward to call me that? We're about the same age. I think it's more appropriate for you to call me Xiaohai. As for my relationship with her, it can be described as very good."

Lina lowered her head and chuckled, saying, "I know Xianni's personality best. Sometimes she's very domineering, and sometimes she's very feminine. Not every man can handle her changes."

Lina didn't mean to undermine Xianni; on the contrary, she was thinking of Xianni's best interests. She and Xianni hadn't known Liu Xiaohai for very long, so she couldn't really say she understood him.

Lying on the grass with his head tilted back, Liu Xiaohai felt a deep sense of empathy. Shani was indeed as Lina had described, but in many ways, Shani was like a little wife, always wanting to be pampered and playful. Compared to the women he'd had in China, Shani served as a welcome contrast. Looking at Lina's back, Liu Xiaohai said, "A woman's fickleness is related to men. In this world, men and women have always been a sophisticated product of mutual attraction and interaction. When a man understands a woman, it's easy for him to control her. Of course, I won't be a chauvinist with Shani."

Lina smoothed her bangs, turned to Liu Xiaohai, and asked, "Shani said you're a chauvinist, but I've never..." "I understand what she means. You're not even as old as her."

Lina looked puzzled, but Liu Xiaohai sensed through his mental perception that Lina knew he and Shani had consummated their marriage. Seeing Lina's mischievous smirk, Liu Xiaohai said, "In China, we divide men and boys into two categories, and women and girls are the same. I can call you 'man' now, and Shani can call you 'woman.' These terms only changed after they were done together."

In this era, girls were no longer ignorant about matters between men and women. Perhaps they hadn't done it themselves, but they had certain processes and feelings in their minds. Hearing Liu Xiaohai's words, Lina blushed, naturally thinking of that matter.

This was the first time Liu Xiaohai had looked at Lina so seriously. Before, when he looked at her, he always seemed shy and innocent, but now, the meaning in his eyes had changed. Lina's face was flushed, and as Liu Xiaohai's gaze remained fixed on her, her breathing quickened, and her chest trembled slightly.

Neither of them spoke. Lina, frightened by Liu Xiaohai's somewhat lecherous gaze, lowered her head, feeling uneasy. Just as she was about to turn away to calm herself, Liu Xiaohai suddenly sat up, placed his hand on Lina's shoulder, and said softly, "Do you know why Xianni isn't answering your calls?"

Lina shook her head shyly. How could she possibly know why Xianni wasn't answering her calls? Glancing sideways at the hand on her shoulder, Lina didn't know whether she should move away, but if Liu Xiaohai continued, she wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Knowing Lina wouldn't know, Liu Xiaohai continued, "Because Shani wants you and her to become even better sisters."

Lina didn't understand this. She and Shani were already best friends, their relationship no less than that of blood sisters. Liu Xiaohai's words truly puzzled Lina, so she looked up and asked, "Xiaohai, what do you mean by that?"

Liu Xiaohai smiled wryly, thinking Lina would understand. Seeing Lina's beautiful face, Liu Xiaohai moved closer and whispered, "She means you should also be my woman, and I've agreed."

After saying this, Liu Xiaohai leaned in to kiss Lina, but Lina turned her head away, raised her hand to stop Liu Xiaohai's advances, and said coldly, "Xiaohai, don't you think you're going too far? How could Shani do this? You've wronged her." After saying this, she

was about to stand up and leave, but Liu Xiaohai grabbed her arm.

Liu Xiaohai took out his phone from his pocket, pressed a few buttons, and handed it to Lina, saying, "Take a look at this text message."

Lina looked at the screen suspiciously. Although she didn't understand Chinese very well, she could recognize some characters. The message was indeed from Xianni, and it read: "Xiaohai, don't say I'm being generous. I don't want Lina to keep working hard. If you like me, please make her your woman. I won't be jealous. And I know Lina has always liked you, but I beat her to it. I wish you success..."

Seeing the message, Lina's face turned red again, and she froze. She really didn't expect Xianni to do this, even revealing that she liked Liu Xiaohai. Glancing at Liu Xiaohai, Lina felt this was absurd. Although a long time ago, some men could have multiple wives and concubines, it was absolutely forbidden in today's society. Thinking this, Lina turned around, but this time she didn't stand up. Instead, she hugged her knees, deep in thought.

Seeing her expression, Liu Xiaohai knew she couldn't accept it immediately. He was also frustrated; he and Lina had just mounted their horses when Xianni sent him this message. He'd never considered anything to do with Lina. But on horseback, riding alongside her, the changes in his body and Lina's feelings made Liu Xiaohai decide: "It would be foolish not to take advantage of a woman."

He moved closer to Lina, putting his arm around her waist. This time, Lina didn't resist or try to escape, but obediently let Liu Xiaohai pull her into his arms. Smelling the masculine scent on Liu Xiaohai, Lina's heart pounded. It was the first time she'd been so close to a man, and Lina felt a little scared.

As the saying goes, the scariest thing isn't someone's actions, but someone doing those actions without saying a word. That oppressive feeling is enough to quickly bring a woman to a climax, and that was exactly what Lina felt. Liu Xiaohai's hands were already roaming over her body; the tingling, itchy sensation, like a thousand ants crawling all over her, quickly made Lina wet and breathless.

"Xiao Hai, we can't..."

Lina was about to refuse when Liu Xiaohai reached out and lifted her chin, gently kissing her and turning her over to comfortably lie in his arms. One hand caressed her buttocks, while the other moved to her breasts, kneading them. His sensual exploration easily revealed the erogenous zones covering her body. Their lips

and tongues intertwined, their bodies rubbing against each other, quickly bringing them to a climax. Although it was broad daylight, the grassland was private property, and no one was around. Only the black horse grazed nearby, watching the two entangled, listening to their alluring moans. The horse reared up and neighed a few times, seemingly expressing its boredom and helplessness as a bystander.

Soon, they were both naked. Lina, her face flushed, closed her eyes and lay down on the clothes spread out on the grass.

Long Xiaohai knelt between her legs, leaning down to tease, "Lina, your breasts are really big?"

"I...I..."

Lina didn't know what to say, because she didn't really pay attention to her breasts.

Actually, her breasts were indeed quite large; by normal standards, they seemed disproportionate. They were not only firm but also quite full, with the breast walls protruding to the sides, and the nipples standing proudly erect, even more alluring.

Moreover, Lina longed for a man who could tenderly caress her, but how could she place such hopes on Xianni's boyfriend? Although Xianni was the instigator, and she didn't want this to happen with Long Xiaohai, she was powerless to resist, her body limp, letting Long Xiaohai knead her breasts.

"Lina, your pussy is all wet, don't you want to give up resisting?"

Long Xiaohai didn't rush to enter, but wanted to spread Lina's legs so he could see her beautiful pussy clearly.

Lina shook her head and said, "No, if we continue like this, how am I supposed to face Xenia afterward?"

Even as she said this, Lina lay on the ground, completely drunk. Everything was under Long Xiaohai's control; she was a lamb to the slaughter. But she was a rather adorable lamb; stroking her skin felt even more comfortable than cashmere.

"She will definitely not blame you. If I don't make you my woman, she will be furious."

Long Xiaohai urged her on, forcefully prying Lina's thighs apart with one hand.

Looking down her thighs, beneath a patch of dark pubic hair, a pinkish-white vulva steamed with heat, accompanied by a trickle of silvery fluid.

"Ah..."

Lina moaned shyly, gripping Long Xiaohai's arm tightly with excitement.

Long Xiaohai thrust forward, his burning penis lingering at the entrance of Lina's vagina. Though shy, Lina, consumed by lust, no longer cared.

She actually reached between them, gently squeezing the hot penis, spreading her legs wide, and forcefully inserting it into her vagina.

The thick, hard penis slowly pushed in. With each bit of depth, Lina's brow furrowed; it was a tearing, excruciating pain, as if her flesh was being stretched and ripped apart. Just when she thought the pain would last forever, Long Xiaohai suddenly thrust his penis into her. "Oh... ah..."

Lina cried out, tears instantly streaming down her face.

Long Xiaohai knew Lina was a virgin, so he quickly used his mental energy to reduce her pain, allowing him to continue thrusting.

The tightness and wetness of her vagina gave Long Xiaohai immense pleasure. He swayed his hips, straightened up, grabbed Lina's legs, and looked down at his thick penis moving in and out of her pink vagina.

"Mmm... ah... ahh... so good..."

Lina's painful moans turned into blissful moans.

Her large breasts swayed back and forth. Long Xiaohai's thrusts were steady and not very deep, which made Lina a little impatient.

"Xiao Hai... umm... oh... deeper... it feels so good inside..."

Lina pleaded.

Long Xiao Hai continued thrusting, laughing, "Then you can do it yourself."

Lina, who had been so reserved just moments before, could no longer hold back. She kept thrusting her hips upwards and swaying, trying to get Long Xiao Hai's penis to penetrate deeper and faster as quickly as possible.

But unexpectedly, the more she swayed, the slower Long Xiao Hai's pace became, and the more intense the itching became. She couldn't help but cry out.

"Ah... um... oh oh oh..."

She felt streams of hot water erupting from deep within her, like a volcanic eruption, and the extraordinary pleasure spread throughout her body.

Lina reached orgasm within minutes of her first time making love. Long Xiao Hai wasn't finished yet, and this was when he began to unleash his full potential. Once a woman has an orgasm, the second orgasm will come much later, and that kind of orgasm is what drives a woman the most wild.

The horses in the distance were still neighing, as if they had witnessed the two making love and were fantasizing about mating with the mare. However, the two paid no attention to the horses and continued their lovemaking. Under Liu Xiaohai's frantic and powerful thrusts, Lina trembled repeatedly. Before long, she had lost her footing twice.

The

scenery of the grassland was still beautiful and boundless. Liu Xiaohai and Lina embraced each other. They had forgotten how long they had been there and how many times they had made love. With Liu Xiaohai's mental energy helping her recover, Lina did not truly experience the pain of a woman's first time, but rather passion and pleasure...

After receiving Lina's urging call, Liu Xiaohai and Lina mounted their horses again and galloped back towards the farm. Upon returning to the farm, Lina was pulled aside by Shani and Meili and questioned about various things. Knowing that they were deliberately shunning him, Liu Xiaohai awkwardly entered the farm with his older sister and the others. The cook who had followed them had already prepared dinner.

Because tomorrow was the day of Shani's grandfather's retrial, Shani and Mary weren't in a good mood at dinner tonight. In other words, they were uncertain and couldn't believe they would ever see their grandfather, Trennee Ferratt, again. After dinner, Liu Xiaohai didn't stay with the Shani sisters. By then, he had lost all passion. Seeing the three girls together, Liu Xiaohai abandoned his plan to have all three in one night and obediently slept in the room next to theirs.

The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, just as dawn broke, Liu Xiaohai was woken by a phone call from President William. After receiving the call and learning the trial's outcome, Liu Xiaohai politely thanked William repeatedly. Knowing the result, Liu Xiaohai didn't intend to tell the Shani sisters; he wanted them to experience this exciting moment for themselves.

Upon boarding President William's special car, Liu Xiaohai was immediately embraced by Shani and Lina. He didn't know how Shani had managed to persuade Lina the night before, but Lina was now completely devoid of yesterday's shyness; even her smile was incredibly captivating.

The farm wasn't far from the Elgin City Intermediate Court, only a ten-minute drive. Liu Xiaohai's convoy arrived at the courthouse. Due to Trennee's influence, the street in front of the courthouse was almost completely filled with citizens who came to observe the proceedings. Liu Xiaohai hadn't brought many people with him this time: his two indispensable bodyguards, Da Mei and Ba Mei, and the Twelve Dragon Envoys. The other guards were all hidden in the shadows, and some of the bodyguards were special forces soldiers from the FBI.

After getting out of the car, he had Da Mei and Ba Mei protect Lina, while Liu Xiaohai held the hands of the sisters, Melly and Shani, on either side. They seemed very excited, their little hands sweaty. Liu Xiaohai knew how they felt and didn't say anything, leading them into the courtroom. Because of Shani and Melly's special relationship, the court arranged for them to sit in the seats for the defendant's family members.

Liu Xiaohai looked at the courtroom setup and nodded. This was the first time he had ever seen a real courtroom; he had only ever seen them on television before. A railing in front of him was where Grandpa Shani would be seated. There were about a dozen seats for family members. For safety, Liu Xiaohai had his eldest and eighth sisters protect Lina and sit in the back gallery, while he, the Shani sisters, and the twelve Dragon Envoys sat in the family section.

As others entered, Liu Xiaohai saw the important figures of the Wood family finally appear to his left: John Wood and a pale-faced American wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Looking at the man's sinister smile, Liu Xiaohai knew his identity without even guessing: Ferratt Wood. John Wood also saw Liu Xiaohai.

He whispered something in the man's ear, then walked towards Liu Xiaohai, his face drooping with fat. He laughed and said, "Haha, Boss Liu, I didn't expect to see you again. It's quite a surprise."

Liu Xiaohai smiled faintly, "Hehe, Mr. John, we Chinese have an old saying: 'A grudge must be avenged.' Whatever others do to me, I will repay tenfold."

Their conversation was very quiet. Shani and Mary, standing nearby, both glared at John with hatred. The Twelve Dragon Envoys, however, looked coldly at the fat man. They knew Liu Xiaohai's thoughts, but without orders, they would never kill him.

John's face showed a cold smile. Being threatened by such a small child, John felt no fear. However, when he saw the twelve strangely dressed men behind him, their faces ashen like corpses, his heart pounded. He didn't speak, snorted, and returned to his seat.

At 8:30 a.m., the judge, jurors, and prosecutor entered the courtroom. After a long proclamation by a juror, the retrial of Treni finally began. With the judge's order to bring the prisoner, two policemen with pistols quickly appeared from the previously empty fence. Following them, an elderly man with a weathered face and a full head of white hair walked in.

As the old man appeared, Shani and Melly, who were beside Liu Xiaohai, suddenly stood up and were about to run towards him. Liu Xiaohai quickly stopped them, and the policemen in front made a warning gesture, signaling them to be quiet.

Shani cried out, "Grandpa..."

Melly also cried, but couldn't utter anything. Seeing the weathered expression on her elderly grandfather's face, Melly didn't know what to say. The old man was Treni. Ferrat...

Liu Xiaohai looked at the two sisters and comforted them, "Don't worry, you'll be able to hug Grandpa in a little while, trust me."

Trennie didn't speak, only glancing sadly at her two granddaughters before fixing her gaze on the Wood brothers with hatred in her eyes. Although she didn't know why she was being brought in for a retrial, Trennie knew it might be a good omen.

The judge in the courtroom picked up his gavel and struck it, loudly announcing, "Please keep the court quiet. I, Ryder, will now preside over the retrial of Trennie Ferrat's drug case. The jurors, please read the documents."

A beautiful female juror stood up, picked up the documents in her hand, and began to read them aloud. The documents contained Trennie's drug case from a few years ago, which she read from beginning to end. After she finished reading the documents, the judge declared the court in session.

When the trial of Trennny began, Liu Xiaohai found it completely different from the trials he had witnessed before. There was no defense attorney, and almost all the testimonies and statements from the jurors and prosecutors were geared towards Trennny's release. Although it was a public trial, the proceedings were blatantly biased.

This was the power of the US president, Liu Xiaohai understood. President William's favor was actually a ploy to gain benefits from him, and then to provide him with further assistance. Regardless, what Liu Xiaohai most hoped for was about to happen.

With the testimony of several witnesses, an innocent man emerged. This American, originally Trennny's subordinate, confessed to putting the drugs in Trennny's office drawer and framing him.

Seeing the red and white expressions on John and Ferratt's faces, Liu Xiaohai knew this was a deliberate arrangement. However, with William in power, his involvement put some pressure on them.

As the jurors presented their arguments, the case became increasingly clear. Those unaware of the facts would be completely oblivious to the intrigue. Less than an hour later, the judge spoke again. He stood up, picked up the document before him, and read: "This court declares that Mr. Trennny's case, which led to his wrongful imprisonment, has now been cleared. Therefore, this court hereby declares Trennny Ferrat not guilty and released."

With the judge's pronouncement, Shani and Mary stood up again and rushed from their seats. Liu Xiaohai did not stop them. Trennny was also escorted out of the bars by two policemen. Perhaps due to his long imprisonment, his steps were unsteady, but seeing his two granddaughters, he forced himself to remain calm and quickly walked towards Shani and Mary.

The grandfather and grandson embraced, and the courtroom erupted in cheers. Many people applauded and shouted "good!" Liu Xiaohai saw that the Wood brothers had not stopped and had already led their men out. He glanced at the twelve Dragon Envoys behind him, gave them a look, and then quickly walked to the side of Trenney and the Shani sisters.

Seeing them crying together, Liu Xiaohai interrupted, "Shannie, Meryl, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go back inside and discuss it."

Trenny released his two granddaughters, looked at the young Chinese boy, and showed a puzzled expression. Shannie quickly wiped her eyes and said excitedly, "Grandpa, your acquittal this time is all thanks to him. His name is Liu Xiaohai, a Chinese businessman."

Trenny nodded and politely extended his hand, saying, "Thank you for saving my life."

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "No need to be so polite with me. Shannie and Meryl's grandfather is my grandfather too."

Hearing this, Trenny looked puzzled, but quickly understood the meaning. He gave Liu Xiaohai a deep look, said nothing more, and followed him out of the courtyard. With the Twelve Dragon Envoys protecting them, Liu Xiaohai wasn't worried about the assassins arranged by the Wood family outside doing anything.

Outside the courthouse, everyone quickly and safely boarded their vehicles. Although many reporters outside wanted to interview Trennny, they were stopped by security guards before they could even make contact with the former American underworld godfather. As the car started, Liu Xiaohai finally breathed a sigh of relief. His senses told him that at least several hundred men were watching their group, but no one had a chance to make a move.

The car moved forward. Liu Xiaohai had no intention of returning to the farm; he knew it was fraught with danger, and he couldn't return to the US Tianxiang branch either. Not wanting to cause further trouble for his colleagues, he made a phone call to President William from the car, asking him to arrange accommodation. At

the United Nations headquarters on the East River in Manhattan, Liu Xiaohai's convoy arrived. It wasn't that Liu Xiaohai feared retaliation from the Wood family, but rather that he worried he wouldn't have enough men to protect Trennny and the Shani sisters. Upon arrival, Liu Xiaohai's convoy entered the gates of the United Nations headquarters without any hindrance.

It wasn't until the car stopped in front of a villa that the sisters, Trenny and Shani, exclaimed in surprise. Shani exclaimed, "Xiao Hai, this is the headquarters of the United Nations in the United States! Why did you bring us here?" Shani

knew that Liu Xiao Hai had some connection with US President William. Although she was surprised, she wondered if it was for her and her grandfather's safety.

Liu Xiaohai smiled and said, "This will be your residence for the foreseeable future. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to harm you. Once I've dealt with the Wood family, that will be the day you leave."

Liu Xiaohai's words were not an exaggeration. The United States is the world's most militarily powerful nation, and the United Nations headquarters is a crucial location for

military deployments

. Here, even if the Wood family wanted to harm

the Trennny and Shani sisters, it would be impossible.

With everything arranged, Liu Xiaohai finally left the UN headquarters with peace of mind. The trial's swift conclusion was largely thanks to President William's help. His younger sister contacted President William, and Liu Xiaohai hosted a banquet at the Hilton International Hotel to repay his kindness.

At 8 PM, in VIP room 001 on the 100th floor of the Hilton International Hotel, the only hotel in Manhattan, Liu Xiaohai was with President William, who had just arrived, and FBI Director Keith Rum and Mayor Caron Sepp of Elgin, whom he had already met. There were also several other people Liu Xiaohai had never met before, but judging from their attire, they were all influential figures in the US.

As Liu Xiaohai had expected, when William introduced these people, Liu Xiaohai was surprised by how conspicuous his own identity was: US Secretary of Defense Karem, US Air Force Commander SIF, King… and many other prominent American figures, all of whom belonged to William's faction.

President William belongs to a faction within the Democratic Party in the United States, while Nickell, as the opposition party member, has always considered William an enemy and has repeatedly tried to bring him down politically, but without success. Liu Xiaohai could easily guess William's purpose in bringing so many important figures with him.

Sure enough, after introducing his entourage, William proceeded to introduce Liu Xiaohai: "This Mr. Liu Xiaohai is currently a businessman, but his true identity is Long Xiaohai, the grandson of Mr. Long Hanhai."

"Long Xiaohai..."

Almost simultaneously, these influential figures exclaimed in surprise. Looking at Liu Xiaohai, a boy not yet 20 years old, they had no doubt about President William's words.

FBI Director Keith Rum smiled and said, "Young Master Long, I've seen your picture before, but you were only five or six years old then. You've grown up so much, I don't recognize you."

As the director of an investigation bureau, Case must be familiar with the information of famous people all over the world. Although Long Xiaohai is just a child, his identity can be said to be one of the most important figures in the world.

Liu Xiaohai chuckled twice and said, "Hehe, please help me keep this a secret. I don't want to reveal my identity so soon."

Hearing his words, everyone, including President William, nodded. Such a big secret, even with a gun to their heads, no one would voluntarily reveal it unless Liu Xiaohai said it himself.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the food began to be served. Of course, this time, there was not a single Chinese dish on the table. Liu Xiaohai didn't want the US president and these dignitaries to eat dishes they might not like because of his own taste.

After eating a few bites of food and drinking a few glasses of wine, William got to the point, put down his chopsticks and said, "Xiaohai, the reason I brought my people here this time is actually to ask you for a favor."

Liu Xiaohai nodded and gave a thoughtful "oh".

William continued, "Because the opposition leader, Nickel, has the support of the Wood family and has united many large state-owned enterprises and members of Congress, his approval rating has skyrocketed. I think you've heard about it."

William's words were indeed true. Because of the Trenney incident, Nickel pressed on relentlessly, and in just one day, the United States was in an uproar. News of a Mafia boss being found guilty of drug possession and then acquitted spread, and a series of unfavorable reports about President William gradually emerged. In the United States, where freedom of speech prevails, such things cannot be suppressed.

Liu Xiaohai said earnestly, "President William, you helped me, so I should help you. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have dealt with the Wood family. As for Nickel, I think you should handle him yourself."

The Wood family had considerable influence in the United States, but as soon as Liu Xiaohai spoke, President William and the others smiled. As the world's number one young master, his words were certainly not empty boasting.

William smiled and said, "Thank you. Nickel's political style has always been questionable. I'm confident I can defeat him. As long as the Wood family stops supporting him, everything will be easy."

Liu Xiaohai nodded, sighing sadly. He realized that everyone in the world, whether a head of state or a poor citizen, is bound by the shackles of life. Everyone has their own problems; even the president of the United States isn't always happy.

After a brief chat with President William, Liu Xiaohai decided not to ask for his help again. He planned to defeat the Wood family in the business world, and his first target was the Wood Foundation, also known as Ferratt Wood.

On his first night back at his residence, Liu Xiaohai immediately called Zhang Chumin, who was back in China, asking him to come over personally with someone knowledgeable about foundations. After explaining his plan, Liu Xiaohai took a comfortable hot bath. Since Shani, Meryl, and Lina were all at the United Nations headquarters, Liu Xiaohai would be sleeping alone that night.

Zhang Chumin's efficiency was remarkably high. He received Liu Xiaohai's call that night, and by 5:00 AM the next morning, he was already on his way to Liu Xiaohai's residence—all without Liu Xiaohai's knowledge, of course.

Eighth Sister was responsible for picking Zhang Chumin up. Having both stayed at Hanhai Villa, Eighth Sister recognized this capable man. They arrived at Liu Xiaohai's place at 6:00 AM. To avoid disturbing Liu Xiaohai's rest, Zhang Chumin waited until Liu Xiaohai woke up. Liu Xiaohai didn't emerge from his room until 8:00 AM.

Seeing the exhausted Zhang Chumin, Liu Xiaohai frowned and asked, "You rushed over overnight?"

Zhang Chumin nodded. He had been waiting impatiently for this opportunity. Knowing that Liu Xiaohai was preparing to take action against the Wood family, Zhang Chumin immediately put down his work and brought three foundation talents to the United States.

"Didn't you get any rest all night?"

Liu Xiaohai said, a little annoyed. Although one could rest on the plane, Zhang Chumin's listless eyes still made Liu Xiaohai feel a pang of heartache.

Zhang Chumin nodded again, his face resolute, and said, "Xiaohai, I'm fine. I brought the people. You tell me what to do. I'll make the Wood family regret this."

Zhang Chumin, his face contorted with rage, had long forgotten his composure, appearing menacing in front of Liu Xiaohai.

"You should rest first. Bringing down the Wood family isn't something that can be done overnight. I need to discuss this with you at length. If you insist on revenge, then I'll have no choice but to send you back to your country."

Liu Xiaohai's words left Zhang Chumin no room for refusal, and he obediently went to find a room to rest.

It wasn't until noon that Zhang Chumin got up and had lunch with Liu Xiaohai before Liu Xiaohai led him and the fund analysis and management talent he had brought to his room.

Once in the room, Liu Xiaohai got straight to the point: "If you want to bring down the Wood family, you need to damage their financial reserves. The Wood Foundation is their money laundering facility; all the dirty money is used in the foundation to be laundered into legitimate assets."

Liu Xiaohai analyzed for a long time. The Wood family is involved not only in drugs and gambling but also in organized crime. All their money must go through legitimate channels before it truly becomes their own. The only channel for this is the Wood Foundation.

Using dirty money through the Wood Foundation to invest in industries or the stock market is, of course, a sure way to make a profit. And Ferrat Wood, the manager of the Wood Foundation, is an expert in this field. With him around, the Wood family's dirty money is effectively turned into legitimate assets.

The three fund managers Zhang Chumin brought all shook their heads. One of them said, "Since the Wood Foundation is a Wood family business, aren't they afraid of being investigated? The money laundered will still leave traces."

Liu Xiaohai sensed that the other two thought the same thing, but they forgot that this was America.

Liu Xiaohai could only carefully say, "If they have powerful backers, do you think they'd be afraid? They'd launder money with impunity. The Wood family is like my Long family in China; once they reach a certain level, they're unshakeable."

These three fund managers were all senior talents from the Long family. Liu Xiaohai hadn't asked Zhang Chumin to conceal his identity, as Zhang Chumin had personally selected them.

Another person said, "Young Master, do you mean we have to invest a huge amount of money to acquire their illicit funds?"

Liu Xiaohai shook his head and said, "No, your task is to disrupt the Wood Fund's market. I'll handle the rest." As soon as

Liu Xiaohai finished speaking, the three fund managers nodded. They understood what Liu Xiaohai wanted to do. It was actually very simple: once the Wood Fund was in chaos, many people holding Wood Fund securities would promptly sell their Wood Fund shares, and then Liu Xiaohai would secretly buy them up. This tactic, though old-fashioned, had been used for a long time.

Liu Xiaohai's foresight stemmed from his past with Luo Jiajie in Hong Kong. Back then, their enemy was the Wan Shi Group, and Liu Xiaohai had won a huge victory using a similar method. Of course, the Wan Shi Group couldn't compare to the Wood family; the Las Vegas casino alone represented immense wealth.

Although he had a plan for dealing with Ferratt Wood, Liu Xiaohai truly didn't know how to approach the gambling industry in Las Vegas. He didn't have the energy to think about things he couldn't figure out. He handed over some materials to the three fund management talents and increased security for their safety. Only then did Liu Xiaohai take Zhang Chumin to Zhang Qibin's grave.

"Qibin, if your spirit is watching over me, please bless me so I can avenge you,"

Zhang Chumin knelt before Zhang Qibin's tombstone, weeping. His sorrowful face made Liu Xiaohai turn away.

"We made a promise to meet in China. You're so heartless. Do you remember the days we went to school together…?"

Zhang Chumin was pouring out his sorrow alone. Listening to his heartfelt words, Liu Xiaohai shed a few crystal tears. Looking at the crows flying in the distance, an image flashed in Liu Xiaohai's mind: two people embracing each other—his father and mother, holding him as they died…

Back at his residence, Liu Xiaohai immediately began further planning. This time, he had put in the greatest effort to deal with the Wood family, and he had designated this plan as the "Destroy the Wood Family Plan."

Chapter 157: Biting.

In a fund trading firm in New York, the flow of people was like a flood, more like the rush to catch a train during the Spring Festival. Most of the people here came for wealth, but those who came with dreams always left disappointed.

Amidst the crowd, Liu Xiaohai and his four companions were dressed very conservatively, lingering for a few minutes under each trading screen, looking at the detailed increases and decreases in the fund management industry. Liu Xiaohai didn't understand funds, but funds were similar to stocks, the only difference being that funds had security guarantees; even those who bought funds didn't worry about losing their money.

Zhang Chumin simply explained the definition of a fund to Liu Xiaohai. Imagine you have some money you want to invest in securities like bonds and stocks to increase its value, but you lack the time and expertise. Since you don't have a large sum, you might consider partnering with 10 other people to invest and hire an investment expert to manage the pooled assets.

However, if all 10+ investors constantly communicate with the expert, things could become chaotic. Therefore, they elect the most knowledgeable person to lead the effort. This person

receives a percentage of the pooled assets as a commission, which is then used to pay the expert's fees. Of course, this person also handles all the details, including running errands, reminding the expert of potential risks, and regularly reporting investment gains and losses. This isn't free work; the commission includes their fees. This is called a partnership investment. Scale this partnership investment model 100 times, or even 1000 times, and it becomes a fund.

And Ferrat... Wood was actually using a fund to launder his family's ill-gotten gains. This method avoided detection by authorities and was the fastest way to launder money.

Liu Xiaohai didn't understand funds, but he knew how to extract the Wood family's laundered money. He instructed three fund managers to locate the Wood family's main fund source and monitor it 24/7 to track the flow of money. Liu Xiaohai then called Luo Jiajie in China.

Of course, he wanted to transfer money from China. Liu Xiaohai knew that the US Tianxiang branch was just getting on track and needed funds. Remembering his previous acquisition of Wanshi in Hong Kong with Luo Jiajie, Liu Xiaohai planned to stage another acquisition of Wood's assets with Zhang Chumin.

Back in his Manhattan residence, Liu Xiaohai discussed the steps in detail with Zhang Chumin. The Wood family didn't own many assets; their largest was the Las Vegas casino. However, Liu Xiaohai didn't intend to touch this. He knew that the Las Vegas casino wasn't entirely the Wood family's property; it was divided into many parts, with the Wood family holding the largest share.

Before the plan was implemented, Liu Xiaohai immediately handed over the more than ten million RMB transferred by Luo Jiajie to Zhang Chumin, instructing him to buy a small clothing factory in Manhattan, USA. The factory wasn't large, so Zhang Chumin acquired it for less than three million RMB, of course, in Zhang Chumin's personal name.

In the following days, Liu Xiaohai was extremely busy, managing the affairs of Tianxiang's American branch while closely monitoring the Wood brothers. During these days, Liu Xiaohai's biggest gain was that the three fund managers found the largest money laundering institution of the Wood family: Kespu Automotive Company.

Kespu wasn't a luxury car manufacturer, but it was a sizable company and a relatively reliable listed company on the stock market. Liu Xiaohai asked William to investigate, and as Liu Xiaohai suspected, Kespu's owner was someone with no real connection to the Wood family. However, Liu Xiaohai knew that this owner was merely a figurehead; he didn't hold the real power.

In Liu Xiaohai's bedroom, Zhang Chumin, after listening to Liu Xiaohai's analysis, couldn't help but praise, "Xiaohai, I really didn't expect you to be able to guess that they were laundering money in this way."

Liu Xiaohai's analysis was actually quite simple. The Wood family's money laundering method was like a food chain: using funds to buy shares of listed companies, and then using the invested money to gamble in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a legitimate entertainment industry in the United States, so the money gambled there wouldn't be considered illicit money. The Wood family's real source of illicit money was undoubtedly drugs.

Liu Xiaohai stroked his bangs and said, "Knowing is one thing, defeating them is another."

He had heard his grandfather, Long Hanhai, say more than once that Ferratt Wood was just a relatively large financial rat, but Liu Xiaohai didn't know how to kill this rat.

"Nothing is impossible for a willing heart, Xiao Hai. I believe in you; you can do it."

Having worked with Liu Xiaohai for only a few days, Zhang Chumin had already discerned that Liu Xiaohai was no ordinary person. His management skills and strategic thinking were in no way inferior to his own, a man in his early thirties with over a decade of management experience.

Liu Xiaohai gave a wry smile and said, "Are you praising me? I feel like you're putting pressure on me."

"How could I dare? I wouldn't even consider going after the Wood family like this. This plan is too stealthy,"

Zhang Chumin said earnestly. He genuinely admired Liu Xiaohai; to attack and injure the enemy without bloodshed was more ruthless than anything else.

"Alright, stop praising me, Brother Chumin. Let's start acquiring the car factory's stock tomorrow. Also, I need to go to Las Vegas,"

Liu Xiaohai said after a moment's thought.

Hearing his words, Zhang Chumin stood up abruptly, waving his hands and hurriedly saying, "How can you go there? Don't you know the Wood family hates you so much they want to eat you alive?"

"So what? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing,"

Liu Xiaohai said nonchalantly.

Zhang Chumin muttered, "How can I not worry?"

But deep down he knew he couldn't change Liu Xiaohai's words, and knowing Liu Xiaohai's strength, Zhang Chumin was only so agitated out of concern.

Liu Xiaohai stood up, patted Zhang Chumin's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Come on, I haven't had a decent meal in the past few days in America. It's my treat, my private chef is making Chinese food."

Hearing about Liu Xiaohai's private chef, Zhang Chumin suddenly realized, his stomach rumbling. Thinking of the chef's food, so delicious that one meal would be unforgettable, Zhang Chumin's eyes lit up. Forgetting everything that had just happened, he followed Liu Xiaohai out of the room.

After a hearty meal, with nothing to do in the afternoon, Liu Xiaohai, along with his eldest sister and the twelve Dragon Envoys, drove to the United Nations headquarters. With a special pass issued by President William, the car passed through the UN headquarters gates without hindrance, arriving at the villa where the Xani sisters and their grandfather, Trenn, were staying.

He told his eldest sister and the twelve Dragon Envoys to go back first, then walked to the villa, rang the doorbell, and a few seconds later, the door opened. Lina peeked out, saw Liu Xiaohai, and exclaimed, turning back to shout, "Xiaohai's here!"

Why such a big reaction? Liu Xiaohai walked straight in, casually closing the door behind him. He saw Lina standing in front of him, while Xani had already run over. Meryl even came out of the bathroom wearing only a white towel. Seeing their reactions, Liu Xiaohai shook his head helplessly. It was all his fault; he hadn't come to comfort their empty hearts these past few days. But thinking of the women back home, Liu Xiaohai felt even more helpless.

"Why didn't you let us know?"

Xenny said as she walked up to Liu Xiaohai, tiptoed, and kissed him on the cheek.

Liu Xiaohai smiled, glancing around the room, and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise. Where's your grandfather?"

He didn't see Treni inside.

"Grandpa's bored, so he went to the back garden to play chess. There are quite a few people living here; my grandfather has found a few people his age, and he spends a lot of time in the back garden these days,"

Xanni explained gently.

Liu Xiaohai nodded, about to speak, when he noticed Xanni staring intently at him, her gaze like that of a thirsty, resentful woman. And it wasn't just Xanni; Meryl and Lina were looking at him the same way.

"Let's talk inside,"

Xanni said, her words carrying a deeper meaning. Liu Xiaohai understood perfectly and nodded in agreement. When the two reached the stairs, Liu Xiaohai stopped.

"Come up too, let's talk all at once."

The three girls froze, only recovering a few seconds later.

"I still need to take a shower," Mary said shyly

, turning and walking into the bathroom.

Lina chimed in, "I still need to watch TV; I haven't finished watching a bit."

She sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, but the program wasn't anything interesting; it was more like a news interview.

Seeing their reactions, Liu Xiaohai laughed. While Americans are generally open about relationships, there are still some less open attitudes. Lina and Mary knew what Shani and Liu Xiaohai were going to do, so of course they wouldn't follow.

"You naughty guy, you scared them, didn't you? Do you think you're Bird the Great?"

Shani said innocently, pulling Liu Xiaohai upstairs.

In Shani's bedroom, Shani eagerly threw herself into Liu Xiaohai's arms, excitedly tilting her head back and kissing him passionately. Her small hands roamed over his body. Her reaction infected Liu Xiaohai, who roughly picked her up and threw her onto the soft bed, then pounced on her.

"I'm going to devour you,"

Liu Xiaohai said domineeringly, unbuttoning his shirt.

Xianni blushed and laughed, "We'll see who devours whom."

Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, they were bound to ignite a greater flame. Liu Xiaohai was the raging fire, and Xianni was the dried wood. As they caressed and kissed, their bodies, no longer bound by clothing, writhed in close contact.

Xianni rolled over, pinning Liu Xiaohai beneath her, and slowly kissed his body, moving downwards until she reached his genitals. Her alluring eyes glanced at him, and before he could react, her lips were already enveloped in warmth.

"Pfft, pfft..."

Xenia sucked on Liu Xiaohai's enormous penis with her small mouth, her up-and-down movements resembling those of an AV actress. But Liu Xiaohai knew that Xenia was self-taught.

Amazed that Xenia had learned oral sex, Liu Xiaohai tilted his head back, enjoying the electric-like pleasure. His head spun. Xenia's technique was clearly clumsy; several times, Liu Xiaohai had to grit his teeth and grip the pillow to endure the slight pain. He didn't know how long it took before Xenia finished this rather unseemly task.

After the oral sex, Xenia held Liu Xiaohai's penis and slowly sat down, letting her vagina envelop the huge shaft. She moaned and writhed actively and frantically. The pent-up desire of the past few days was finally released. Liu Xiaohai also frantically responded to Xenia's movements, their movements becoming increasingly intense and continuous.

"Ah...it's so deep...oh oh..."

Senny, completely intoxicated, caressed her breasts with both hands, her wanton expression fueling Long Xiaohai's excitement.

"Oh...um...oh oh..."

Senny moaned loudly.

"Aren't you afraid your sister and Lina will hear?"

Long Xiaohai teased deliberately.

"I like to moan,"

Senny said willfully, twisting her hips forcefully from side to side.

Suddenly, Long Xiaohai flipped her over, placing Senny's legs on his shoulders, lifting her snow-white, pert buttocks, and thrusting his thick penis inside her again.

"Ah...it feels so good...faster, please!" "

Xianni's hands gripped her thighs, while Long Xiaohai's hands rested on the bed as he began to thrust violently.

"Oh...you're killing me...ah...oh...Xiaohai..."

Faced with such a fierce onslaught, Xianni's moans grew louder, almost carrying out of the room.

Chapter 158 One Dragon Three Phoenixes

With a bang, Xianni's bedroom door was pushed open. Liu Xiaohai and Xianni, who were making love, were startled. Xianni, who was under Liu Xiaohai, turned around and saw Lina peeking out, looking at her with a wry smile.

"Little sister, you can't eat alone..."

Lina didn't come in, but another head appeared behind her. It was Xianni's older sister, Meili. Meili was bolder than Lina. She pushed open the door, pulled Lina in, and casually closed the door behind her.

Xianni blushed and smiled, saying, "Sister, it seems like you two didn't want to come earlier."

"That was just polite talk. Xiaohai, really, why didn't you insist a little longer?" "

Merry walked to the bedside, looking at Liu Xiaohai's embarrassed face, and sat down on the edge of the bed, reaching out to stroke Liu Xiaohai's firm chest.

"Oh, this is my fault. Alright, since you're all here, let's go. I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Hearing Meryl's words, Liu Xiaohai said helplessly, suddenly sitting up and pulling Meryl into his arms. He had originally planned to have a two-round battle with Xenny first, then find Meryl and Lina to defeat them one by one, but he didn't expect them to deliver themselves to him.

"Xiaohai, are you sure you can handle it..."

Meryl said shyly, blinking her eyes. Her eyes were fixed on the huge penis between Liu Xiaohai's legs, but she felt a special kind of excitement. She couldn't wait to take off her clothes and rolled onto the bed.

Liu Xiaohai ignored Xenny and pulled Meryl under him, coldly saying, "I'm afraid the three of you can't handle my abilities." "

As he spoke, before Meili was ready, Liu Xiaohai thrust his penis into her vagina, startling her into a scream, which quickly turned into a joyful moan.

"Ah... um... so big... so thick..."

Meili quickly became aroused. She thought Liu Xiaohai was out of energy, but his thrusting was becoming too much for her.

"Isn't it great?" "

Mmm...oh...it's so deep...you're so hard..."

Looking at their white, intertwined bodies, Lina was already aroused. Although a little reserved, she shyly took off her clothes, climbed onto the bed, and embraced Shani, further fueling their passion.

With the help of his spiritual energy, Liu Xiaohai quickly brought Meili to the peak of pleasure, then pulled Lina down beneath him, and began to thrust again.

This time, Liu Xiaohai didn't immediately thrust in. Instead, he leaned down and knelt between Lina's legs. He curled his tongue, letting the sharp tip of his tongue dart back and forth between her labia. Lina's juices flowed continuously from that inner crevice.

Every time Liu Xiaohai's tongue darted out and brushed against the small, already bulging flesh, Lina's delicate body would tremble, and her legs would involuntarily cross.

Liu Xiaohai's hands reached under Lina's thighs, causing her legs to arch upwards, and his tongue continued to slide backwards, licking her tight anus.

Liu Xiaohai turned around and presented his penis to Lina. Lina, who was moaning incessantly, opened her small mouth and took the monstrous, thick penis into her mouth, only able to moan softly through her nose. Her body twisted more and more violently, almost like a snake, because Liu Xiaohai's tongue skills were so amazing that if she didn't move, she would feel unbearable pain.

So she quickly began to swallow and release the penis, her beautiful lower abdomen heaving violently, desperately wanting the penis to quickly penetrate her vagina.

"Ah... Xiaohai, I can't take it anymore, give it to me..."

Lina finally spat out the powerful penis, stroking it with her delicate hands, afraid it would go soft.

Liu Xiaohai suddenly turned around and skillfully inserted the thick penis into her already wet vagina. With a thrust, the penis pierced deep inside.

"Oh..."

Lina cried out in pleasure as the penis reached the very bottom of her vagina, pressing against her already hard clitoris.

Liu Xiaohai didn't stop, thrusting hundreds of times rapidly, making Lina's body tremble and moan incessantly. Melly and Shani were sucking on her nipples on either side, the pleasure was too much for her to bear.

Just as Liu Xiaohai was about to pull out and change positions, Lina clung tightly to his waist. Liu Xiaohai knew she was about to climax, and without restraint, he thrust violently dozens more times before frantically ejaculating his semen into her vagina.

Having just finished with Lina, Liu Xiaohai didn't pause for a moment. He pulled Shani over and thrust directly into her vagina. At this moment, all three girls were incredibly excited and astonished; Liu Xiaohai's penis was still erect.

Moans continued to echo in Shani's bedroom. The three women took turns entwining with Liu Xiaohai until, four hours later, they were completely exhausted and begged for mercy…

His senses remained focused on the entire villa. The moment the downstairs door opened, Liu Xiaohai said to the three women beside him, "Grandpa Trennny is back."

"Ah… hurry and get dressed."

Shani sat up abruptly, frantically searching for her clothes. Melly and Lina also frantically searched for their own. Watching their quick movements, Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but marvel; their speed was comparable to that of soldiers in the army. After tidying up

the bedroom, the four quickly went out. When they reached downstairs, Trennny was indeed back, sitting in the living room watching a talk show on TV.

Hearing footsteps, Treni asked without turning around, "Is there a guest?"

"Ah... Grandpa, how did you know? It's not a guest, it's our benefactor!"

Shani ran behind Treni, shaking his shoulders and acting coquettishly.

Treni raised his head and smiled, saying, "I don't remember having any Guirenniao shoes. That's a Chinese brand."

Hearing this, Shani suddenly realized that her grandfather had noticed Liu Xiaohai's shoes by the door. Liu Xiaohai walked slowly to Treni's left, bowed, and said, "Hello, Grandpa Treni."

Having confirmed his relationship with the Shani sisters, Liu Xiaohai didn't care about Treni's status and treated her with great respect.

"Hehe, come on, Xiaohai. I've wanted to thank you for a long time, but you've been too busy. Don't leave tonight, have dinner here,"

Treni said habitually, but upon reflection, realizing this wasn't his own residence, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Liu Xiaohai nodded, sat down on the sofa behind him, and said with a smile, "Are you settling in well here?"

"Well, having a place to stay is good enough. It's thousands of times better than the prison cell I was in."

Trennee looked weathered, making him appear less like the imposing mafia boss he once was, and more like an old man.

Using his mental perception to enter Trennee's mind, Liu Xiaohai discovered a similarity between Trennee and his grandfather, Long Hanhai: their personalities. Both were people who deeply respected their ideals. Moreover, Trennee wasn't a bad person; at least Liu Xiaohai could distinguish between good and bad people using his mental perception.

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long before I reclaim everything you once had. The Wood brothers will also receive their due punishment."

"Actually, I don't care whether I get everything back. I'm old now. As long as I know my two granddaughters are alive and well, I'll be at peace."

Trennee looked at Shani and Mary beside him, and said with deep emotion.

Behind him, Shani frowned and said, "Grandpa, revenge is the only way. The Wood brothers have always wanted to kill us. If we don't punish them, our lives won't be easy."

Meryl added, "Shani is right, Grandpa. The Wood brothers are ungrateful. Even if we lose everything we have, we must get revenge."

Trent nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, you two go back to your room first. I need to talk to Xiaohai alone."

Hearing Trent's words, Shani and Meryl exchanged glances, then looked at Liu Xiaohai, and obediently pulled Lina upstairs. Once they reached the second floor, Trent said, "Young Master Long, I really don't know how to thank you."

"My surname is Liu,"

Liu Xiaohai said expressionlessly. He still chose to respect Trent, withdrawing his mental senses and no longer probing his thoughts, but he hadn't expected Trent to say something like that. Of course, Liu Xiaohai wouldn't admit it.

Trennny laughed loudly and said, "Haha, I know your grandfather too. Mr. Long Hanhai has always been the businessman I admire most. Do you know how I guessed that you are Long Xiaohai?"

"Hehe, I really didn't guess that..."

Liu Xiaohai said tacitly. Since the other party had even brought up Long Hanhai, Liu Xiaohai didn't need to hide it anymore.

Trennny lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "There are no more than three Chinese businessmen overseas who can be protected by the FBI. One is Long Hanhai, your grandfather; another is your father, Long Zhenhai; and the third is Long Xiaohai. I don't think this is a coincidence."

Before Liu Xiaohai could speak, Trennny continued, "I've dealt with your grandfather before. Back then, he was just starting out in the US, and I could tell he was quite capable. Moreover, your grandfather is a rather honest businessman. In less than five years, his business in the US had expanded throughout the country and he had become famous worldwide." "

The most important thing that led me to guess your identity is that you're a special forces soldier of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense. They only protect important national figures, and you, a young man, are clearly not a relative of a national political figure. When Xenia mentioned your name and the steps you took to get me out of prison, I could only think of one person: Long Xiaohai. There was no one else."

After Trennny finished speaking, he stared at Liu Xiaohai, as if asking if he was right.

Liu Xiaohai nodded and said with a smile, "Hehe, your analysis is absolutely right. I am Long Xiaohai. I hope you can keep this a secret for me. At least for now, I don't want anyone to know."

"Of course you won't tell anyone. Hehe, I didn't expect you to help me. What a twist of fate."

" I'm satisfied," Trennny sighed. Although she had guessed Liu Xiaohai's true identity, hearing it confirmed by him still stirred her emotions, though her face remained calm.

Liu Xiaohai explained, "Shanie and Meryl are good friends. Helping you is the right thing to do."

"Will my two granddaughters be happy in the future?"

Trennny suddenly looked up, her sharp gaze fixed on Liu Xiaohai.

Liu Xiaohai replied, "Yes, I think they will be the happiest women in the world."

Liu Xiaohai didn't intend to hide anything from this seemingly all-knowing old man, because he could see that Trennny now had no ambition whatsoever, having returned to the state of an ordinary elderly person.

"Then I'm content,"

Trennny said with a smile.

Liu Xiaohai glanced at Trennny, his tone changing as he said, "Grandpa Trennny, how much do you know about the Wood family?"

"Oh, well, Las Vegas used to be my property. I never expected them to do this. I don't know much about their past business operations, because I was just a mafia boss, not a competent businessman,"

Trennny said regretfully. The family he had built up was now someone else's.

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "Then Grandpa Trennny, do you have any loyal subordinates?"

"Of course, many! Xiaohai, tell me what to do, and this old man will do it,"

Trennny said loudly, having already understood Liu Xiaohai's meaning.

Liu Xiaohai chuckled, "Hehe, Grandpa, you don't need to do anything. Just contact your loyal subordinates from back then. If you want to completely defeat the Wood family, I think we should launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside."

"Good, good plan, but Xiaohai, I need to leave here to find them. Once I find one, I can find the others,"

Trennny said excitedly. He had been in prison for so long, and Liu Xiaohai had brought him here as soon as he got out. Trennny had no chance to meet or talk to his former friends and loyal subordinates, and he had no way to contact them.

Although he knew the addresses of some of his subordinates and friends, if Trennny didn't go in person, those friends and subordinates wouldn't believe anyone unless they saw Trennny in person.

Liu Xiaohai nodded. Even if they left, Liu Xiaohai was confident he could protect Trennny's safety. Thinking this, Liu Xiaohai quickly said, "Grandpa, there's not enough time today. Let's go early tomorrow morning. I

'll go with you." "Hmm, don't leave tonight. Shani and Meryl probably don't want you to leave,"

Trennny said meaningfully, standing up after checking the time.

"..."

What a disrespectful old man! Liu Xiaohai thought to himself. When it was time to eat, despite the three girls' and Liu Xiaohai's attempts to stop him, Treni insisted on cooking a delicious meal for him himself. Soon, Lina and Shani brought the food to the table.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes resembling Chinese cuisine, Liu Xiaohai rubbed his hands together. The colors and flavors of the dishes alone were enough to amaze him. He hadn't expected a former mafia boss to have such skills. The five of them enjoyed a pleasant and meaningful dinner together.

After dinner, Liu Xiaohai didn't leave. Instead, Treni glared at him and sent him upstairs. Because the villa was very large, Treni lived downstairs while the three girls lived upstairs. They hadn't even been asked to wash the dishes, so they were also sent upstairs.

In Shani's bedroom, Liu Xiaohai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the three beauties eyeing him with a wry smile. He couldn't help but sigh, "Tonight will be another battle of one dragon and three phoenixes." The

night sky in America is beautiful. On this beautiful night, Liu Xiaohai tirelessly worked on the three women, constantly using his mental energy on himself and them. None of the four felt tired at all. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Liu Xiaohai finally stopped using his mental energy to replenish their fatigue, until the three women fell into a deep sleep… After resting for less than an hour, Liu Xiaohai woke the three girls early, because Treni was already up and downstairs preparing breakfast. Downstairs, Treni saw the four of them come down and called out with a smile, "Children, come quickly, breakfast is ready." "Grandpa is so good," Shani said, running to Treni and kissing his cheek. While having breakfast, Liu Xiaohai learned that Treni had been cooking for him for the past few days because he was incredibly bored. During the day, he'd go out to play chess and chat about international news; the rest of the time, he was like a male nanny. "You stay home, Xiaohai and I are going out to run some errands," Treni said to his two granddaughters and Lina after finishing breakfast. Shani nodded obediently, "Okay, we'll stay home." Shani knew yesterday that Liu Xiaohai was going to settle scores with the Wood brothers, and she and her sister had no say in the matter. After leaving the UN headquarters, Liu Xiaohai had his younger sister find an American civilian car. To avoid attracting attention, he didn't bring many guards, only the Twelve Dragon Envoys and fewer than fifty guards, who rode in a dozen or so cars surrounding his vehicle for protection. The driver was the older sister. Trennny gave a location, and she quickly chose directions. Having previously served on missions in the US, she was quite familiar with every district. The first person Trennny was looking for was on Naples Street in Manhattan, only a ten-minute drive from Liu Xiaohai's place. From the UN headquarters, it was less than a twenty-minute drive to Naples Street. Upon arrival, Trennny gave the number 316. US house numbers are basically the same as Chinese house numbers, except the order is scrambled. Naples Street was an old street with antique streetlights and asphalt pavement. The shops on both sides looked like antiques, some displaying banners advertising antique clocks and clothing. "We're here..." Trennny said, pointing to a cake shop in the car. The car stopped. The eldest sister cautiously surveyed the surroundings before nodding to Liu Xiaohai. Liu Xiaohai got out first, using his mental senses to scan the crowd before opening the door and letting Trennny out. Liu Xiaohai and Trennny walked to the outside of the cake shop. The eldest sister, the eighth sister, and the twelve Dragon Envoys approached from a distance. Seeing the group, Liu Xiaohai turned and said, "You guys stay outside. There's no danger inside. I can protect myself." The eldest sister was still worried but nodded, knowing Liu Xiaohai's strength was considerable. She then made a strange hand gesture and immediately got into the car with the eighth sister. The twelve Dragon Envoys dispersed, scattering around the cake shop. "My old friend of mine is rich, but he can't seem to let go of this little cake shop," Trennny said with a sigh, looking at the cake shop sign that read "enrth. " Liu Xiaohai nodded and followed Trennny into the cake shop. Since it was a little after eight in the morning, there were almost no people eating pastries. Inside the shop, there were only a few American women busy cleaning. Trennny didn't ask them anything and went straight to the cake processing area.

The processing area and the cake shop's dining area were connected, separated only by a large tempered glass partition. Trennie walked to the glass and peered inside, only seeing a back view of someone busy making cakes. Seeing this person, Trennie's face lit up with an excited smile, and he raised his hand to knock on the glass.

The person in the processing area turned around. Liu Xiaohai saw that this person was similar to Trennie, an elderly man. His full head of silver hair, the weariness on his face, and his smile all conveyed a sense of dignity. Seeing Trennie and Liu Xiaohai outside the glass, the man was clearly excited, trembling as he dropped his cake-making tools and rushed towards the processing area door.

"Trenny..."

the old man called out excitedly as the door opened.

Trennny opened his arms and embraced the old man, saying, "My friend Jack, I've missed you so much!"

Seeing the two elderly men, both well past seventy, embracing warmly and expressing their longing for each other, Liu Xiaohai stood quietly to the side until a minute later when the two men returned to normal.

Jack said, "I was late that day and missed your court hearing. After I learned you were safe, I couldn't sleep for several nights." "

Hehe, old friend, I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but my situation isn't good right now, so I haven't been able to,"

Trennny said with emotion. This Jack was one of Trennny's best friends, although Jack was just an honest businessman.

Jack nodded, looking at Liu Xiaohai with a puzzled expression, "And this young man is?"

"Oh, my savior, a Chinese businessman, who's quite close to my granddaughter,"

Trennny explained.

Jack's eyes widened as he looked at Liu Xiaohai, incredulously asking, "Could he be the CEO of Tianxiang Pharmaceutical Company?"

"Yes, old friend, I have something to ask you for help."

Treni didn't want to waste Liu Xiaohai's time with small talk, as the matter was urgent.

Jack said, "Just say what you need. I'll help you if I can."

"Is it possible to contact the other shareholders?"

Treni asked softly.

Jack looked around, then took Treni's hand, saying as they walked, "Let's talk in my room."

Jack's room was on the second floor of the bakery, and his bedroom was only thirty square meters, divided into several areas with bookshelves, a pool table, a large bed, and some antique furnishings, making the room feel quite cramped.

"Please sit down, don't be shy, Mr. Liu, thank you so much for helping my friend."

Jack gestured for Liu Xiaohai and Treni to sit down, looking at Liu Xiaohai with gratitude.

Liu Xiaohai didn't need to think to know why the other party knew his identity. Since Jack was a major shareholder in Las Vegas, he naturally wielded considerable power. And Jack would certainly know that he and the Wood brothers were now enemies, and he had likely already thoroughly investigated Liu Xiaohai's background.

Liu Xiaohai: "It's what I should do."

"Hmm... Trennny, what were you trying to say?"

Jack nodded, inwardly praising Liu Xiaohai, then looked at Trennny beside him and asked.

Trennny's face turned cold as he said, "Gather those shareholders and overthrow the Wood family."

"Uh, Trennny, it's not that I'm not a good friend, but several shareholders have changed hands. There are only eight shareholders left who truly have real power and are loyal to you, including myself. So, regaining the shares will be very difficult,"

Jack said bitterly.

When Trennny went to jail for drug-related offenses, the Ferrat family underwent a dramatic transformation. The Wood brothers seized control of the family, dismissing or assassinating those who had previously been loyal to Trennny, using coercion and bribery to completely subjugate the Ferrat family to the Wood family. Even now, with Trennny's release, it would be difficult for him to turn the tables.

Trennny took a deep breath and said, "Jack, just get them here, and don't worry about anything else."

"That's easy. I'll call them now and arrange for them to come here."

Jack said, taking out his phone and dialing numbers. A dozen minutes later, Jack had made eight calls and arranged appointments with all of them.

Jack stood up and said, "This place is too small. Let's talk in my basement later."

Then he took out a box from under the bed and placed it in front of Trennny and Liu Xiaohai.

Trennny frowned and asked, "What's this?"

"Heh, shares in Las Vegas. I already know why you're here,"

Jack said as he opened the box.

Trenney nodded and said, "I did come for the shares. I'll pay you for them."

"Get lost! Talking to me about money? I've earned enough to last me several lifetimes. I've never dared to keep these shares on me; the Wood brothers have always been eyeing them,"

Jack said with a laugh.

Liu Xiaohai watched the two old men deferring to each other and, using his mental senses, locked onto the document in Jack's hand. Even without looking at the contents, he immediately analyzed them. It was a shareholder authorization letter; Jack actually controlled 15% of the shares in the Las Vegas casino, which surprised Liu Xiaohai.

Jack handed the shareholder authorization letter to Trenney, who then handed it to Liu Xiaohai, saying, "This is for you."

Although Jack was puzzled, he remained silent, knowing what Trenney was doing.

Liu Xiaohai looked at the shareholder authorization letter but didn't refuse. He was only helping Trenney reclaim everything he originally owned, and he never intended to take anything back.

Because the US and China are different, in China, when transferring shares, a shareholders' meeting must be held, and then the shares must be signed and notarized. In the US, however, whoever holds the power of attorney has the rights, regardless of who holds it.

Liu Xiaohai told Jack about his plan. Although Jack was now just an ordinary cake shop owner, he still had considerable influence. Coupled with Jack's different business philosophies from Trennny's, the questions he raised made Liu Xiaohai realize many of the mistakes he had made and how he should proceed.

"..."

A beautiful American country music tune began to play, and Jack's phone rang. Jack looked at his phone and said, "They're all here. Let's go down and meet them."

Downstairs, Liu Xiaohai saw a large crowd gathered at the cake shop entrance. Standing there were Dragon Envoy Number One and Dragon Envoy Number Two, blocking a large group of American men in black. Behind them, seven elderly and middle-aged men were waiting.

"Let them in!"

Liu Xiaohai shouted. Dragon Envoy Number One and Number Two immediately stepped aside. The men in black didn't enter, but instead stepped back, opening a passage for the seven people behind them. Once inside, Dragon Envoy Number One and Number Two blocked the door again.

Trennny laughed loudly, "Haha, the eight major shareholders, all here!"

These eight shareholders were originally appointed by Trennny during his tenure. Of course, these eight were all Trennny's most loyal friends. Because of their existence, Las Vegas hadn't been completely monopolized by the Wood brothers. (

Chapter 160 Manipulating Kelling)

Liu Xiaohai was considered one of Trenn's men, but among the eight major shareholders, he became an outsider. Although Trenn introduced him and explained that he was there to help Trenn, aside from Jack voluntarily relinquishing his shares, the other seven dragged Trenn and Jack into Jack's basement to discuss the matter.

Sitting in the restaurant, Liu Xiaohai idly stared at the cake in front of him. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He stretched out his finger and made a downward cutting motion in the air. The cake in front of him split open as if sliced by a knife. Seeing his masterpiece, Liu Xiaohai smiled excitedly.

Since gaining the ability to sense thoughts, Liu Xiaohai had never truly studied its actual effects, but he knew that this magical power was almost omnipotent. Thinking back to Shanghai, when he used his sense thoughts to send cars flying, Liu Xiaohai felt incredibly excited. Although he wasn't very confident about defeating the Wood brothers, Liu Xiaohai thought that sometimes using unconventional methods was the best strategy.

Waiting was tedious, and Liu Xiaohai wasn't a very patient person. In his view, time was everything; every second could be used to accomplish many things. Frustrated, Liu Xiaohai used his mental perception to probe the basement. He sensed that the basement resembled a conference room, with nine people sitting around a long table. Trennee was waving his hands, excitedly emphasizing something.

Using his mental perception to access the thoughts of these nine people, Liu Xiaohai instantly entered a state of clarity. His eyes closed slightly, but his mind was connected to the nine people in the basement, like nine small rooms. Liu Xiaohai accurately separated their thoughts, and each person's thoughts were transmitted to his brain.

"Huh? Trying to sabotage, huh..."

Liu Xiaohai snorted coldly. Eight of the nine people's thoughts didn't raise any suspicions, but one was thinking of secretly reporting to the Wood brothers after the meeting.

After nearly an hour of discussion, Liu Xiaohai learned a lot about Las Vegas, how Trennee formed a team with the eight shareholders in the early days, how they accumulated wealth and became the largest family in the United States. Sensing them emerge from the basement, Liu Xiaohai quickly withdrew his senses.

"Xiaohai, you must be getting impatient,"

Trennee said with a smile as soon as he came up.

Liu Xiaohai shook his head, looking meaningfully at an American man next to Jack, and said, "No, how did it go, Grandpa?"

Trennee: "Of course it went well. These are all my good brothers and buddies, but we still need to buy back the shares with money."

Trennee lowered his voice, making sure only Liu Xiaohai could hear him.

Liu Xiaohai nodded: "Well, the price doesn't matter, as long as we can get the shares. By the way, who is this gentleman?"

Liu Xiaohai pointed to the burly man next to Jack.

"He's Mr. Kelling, the editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine,"

Jack introduced from the side.

Upon hearing Jack's words, Liu Xiaohai was taken aback. This magazine company had been at the pinnacle of the magazine industry for over a century, though its content was somewhat erotic. Liu Xiaohai had only heard of it but never seen it. It turned out this man with a wicked heart was the editor-in-chief.

Liu Xiaohai chuckled, "Hehe, I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Mr. Kelling, what price are you planning to offer for your shares? I'd like to be prepared."

Kelling looked at Liu Xiaohai thoughtfully. He knew this young man was Treni's friend, and that he was there to help Treni reclaim his family's assets. He quickly processed the information and said in a low voice, "I just discussed some details with Treni. The price won't be too high, but I'll give you a definite answer when I get back."

The other shareholders echoed his sentiments. They were all undecided. Of the eight shareholders, only Jack was giving away his shares for free. This was because Jack had faded from the scene; money was no longer a significant asset to him.

Each of the eight people owned 7% of Las Vegas, more than the Wood brothers, which was why the Wood brothers hadn't been able to completely control Las Vegas, the world's gambling capital.

"Xiao Hai, my friends are going back now to do some calculations, and we should have a result by tonight,"

Trenn said from the side.

Liu Xiaohai nodded and looked at Kelling, saying, "Mr. Kelling, could you stay and chat with me? I'm thinking of entering the magazine industry."

"Oh...of course, hehe, it's been a long time since I chatted with my friend Trenn, this is a good opportunity,"

Kelling said casually, but inwardly he was thinking maliciously, "Liu Xiaohai, you damned little guy!" Little did he know that Liu Xiaohai was cursing him too.

Everyone else went back, only Kelling remained. Liu Xiaohai said, "Mr. Jack, let's talk in your basement."

As he spoke, Liu Xiaohai mentally communicated with the Twelve Dragon Envoys and issued an order.

Jack didn't refuse, because the things the four of them were about to discuss were definitely shady, and Terrence was still in danger. Jack didn't want to expose Terrence too much. They went down to the basement.

"I wonder what Mr. Liu wants to know from me? As for the magazine industry, you've come to the right person,"

Kaelin said with a smile, lighting a cigar, crossing his legs.

Liu Xiaohai lowered his head and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just really admire Mr. Kaelin."

Kaelin was annoyed by Liu Xiaohai's nonsense, but his face showed no anger.

Jack: "Xiaohai, let's get down to business. What exactly do you need Kaelin to do?"

Liu Xiaohai reached out and touched his chin, pretending to be deep in thought. Seeing that he was thinking, the three old men calmed down. Liu Xiaohai's expression was very serious, as if he was thinking about something important, and they didn't dare to disturb him. "

Insert, hypnotize them into sleep, control them. If it fails, I'll have to kill them."

Liu Xiaohai thought to himself, his thoughts rapidly spreading out, cutting into the minds of the three old men.

Unlike before, Liu Xiaohai didn't use his thoughts to probe their thoughts. Instead, he split his thoughts into two. One thought kept telling Trennny and Jack, "You should sleep, you should sleep," like a burst of energy. Liu Xiaohai could clearly feel a strange energy dissipating from his body, and Trennny and Jack's eyelids indeed drooped.

The thoughts flowed quickly, and sweat beaded on Liu Xiaohai's forehead. Only when Trennny and Jack were fast asleep on the table did Liu Xiaohai slowly raise his head, his eyes coldly fixed on Kelin sitting opposite him.

"Heh, these two old guys, how come they suddenly fell asleep?"

Kelin noticed Liu Xiaohai's fierce gaze and his heart skipped a beat. Had the other guessed something? Kelin quickly dismissed the thought; how could anyone know his thoughts, especially a little boy like him?

Kelin stood up to shake Trennny awake, but Liu Xiaohai stood up and called out

softly, "Kelin..." Kelin turned and stared into Liu Xiaohai's eyes. In that instant, Kelin's forward-moving body froze, his eyes still darting around.

"Manipulation of Thought..."

Liu Xiaohai silently emitted a sound, and like brainwaves, it instantly transmitted through the air to Kelin's mind. Kelin, whose eyes had been darting around, suddenly stopped moving and stood there blankly, eyes wide open like a dead man.

Seeing Kelin motionless, Kelin finally let out a deep breath, drenched in sweat, and sat down in a chair. This was Liu Xiaohai's first attempt at using thought manipulation to hypnotize someone and control their thoughts, and he hadn't expected it to be so easy. Quickly recovering his mental strength, Liu Xiaohai stood up and went to Kelin's side, saying,

"What's your name?"

Kelin mechanically replied, "My name is Kelin. Jipu."

"Do you have any family members?"

Liu Xiaohai continued to ask.

Kaelin: "Wife Mennie and three daughters."

After asking a few casual questions, Liu Xiaohai scanned Kaelin's brain with his mental senses. He confirmed that while Kaelin's brain was still functioning, it was actively thinking and answering his questions. Liu Xiaohai chuckled, went to Kaelin's side, searched his two cell phones, and turned them off before saying,

"Let's go, Kaelin, to your house. Get me the Las Vegas shares."

Kaelin didn't move, replying, "Sorry, the shares aren't at my house, they're at my youngest daughter's."

"Then go to your youngest daughter's house. Damn, this is troublesome."

Liu Xiaohai said angrily, not expecting controlling someone to involve such a complicated process.

"Yes, sir."

Kaelin nodded to Liu Xiaohai like a corporal meeting his superior, and led the way up the stairs, quickly leaving the basement. Liu Xiaohai casually closed the basement door behind him. Although he didn't know how long Trennny and Jack would sleep, he was certain they would be alright.

Upon reaching the restaurant lobby, they found Jack's cake shop now marked "closd," and the American waitresses had been dismissed by Da Mei and the others. Looking at the several men in black sleeping haphazardly in the corner, Liu Xiaohai nodded. Earlier, while down in the basement, he had been giving orders to the Twelve Dragon Envoys to eliminate all of Kelin's men—not kill them, but lure them inside and knock them unconscious one by one.

"Xiaohai, what happened to him?"

Da Mei asked curiously, looking at Kelin walking like a zombie.

Liu Xiaohai smiled, "Nothing, just had him do some work for me temporarily. Arrange some guards here, and keep those men unconscious until I return."

"Okay, I understand,"

Da Mei nodded.

Liu Xiaohai continued, "Tell all the guards not to follow us. Go back if there's nothing else. You and the Twelve Dragon Envoys can stay with me."

"Young Master, take me with you! I don't want to be bored,"

Ba Mei pleaded like a little girl.

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "Eighth Sister, I have an even more important task for you. Instructor Ouyang needs a capable person to go and provide support, and I think you are the most suitable one besides Eldest Sister and my Twelve Dragon Envoys. So I wanted to ask if you would like to go?"

"Ah... Instructor Ouyang still needs support, hehe, thank you for the compliment, young master. Although I am not the strongest, I am not bad either. I will go."

Eighth Sister was a simple woman. She knew that Instructor Ouyang had been monitoring the Wood brothers. With his abilities, let alone the Wood family, even if the FBI special forces came, they would be helpless against Instructor Ouyang. But she still agreed.

Chapter 161 [Pale Face Fades]

Driving away from Jack's cake shop, Liu Xiaohai learned from Kelin that his youngest daughter lived in Manhattan. Kelin's youngest daughter was named Etherine. She was a writer for a magazine. Because Kelin worked on a color magazine, Etherine did not work with her father but went to a more formal small magazine.

At 32 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, Liu Xiaohai and Kailin sat in the car. Kailin had called Aiselin on their way here to collect the shares, and Aiselin was now on her way home. During the phone call, Kailin's mechanical questions and answers had excited Liu Xiaohai several times. If Kailin's daughter was shrewd, she would definitely notice something, which was a normal reaction.

After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, a red Sinkl sedan stopped on the opposite side of the road. A blonde woman in a black lace dress got out of the car. Seeing the woman with gold-rimmed glasses, Kelling said, "That's my daughter, Catherine."

Liu Xiaohai nodded, opened the car door, but then stopped and said, "Sister, you wait here. Kelling and I will go in."

The younger sister nodded but didn't get out of the car with Liu Xiaohai. After they got out, Kelling walked ahead of Liu Xiaohai, following all the steps Liu Xiaohai had instructed her to take in the car, and walked with a smile to the blonde woman's side. When she got close to her, Kelling said urgently, "Catherine, why did you take so long?"

In America, fathers and daughters address each other by their first names, so Liu Xiaohai didn't find it strange.

Catherine's expression remained indifferent to Karin's question, as if the fat man wasn't her father. The woman named Catherine merely glanced at Liu Xiaohai and said coldly, "You should have taken your shares long ago."

Her words were utterly nonchalant, and Liu Xiaohai couldn't help but sigh inwardly; this woman was no ordinary woman, those were shares worth at least tens of millions of dollars.

Kaelin wasn't angry. Instead, she pointed to Liu Xiaohai and said, "This is my business partner, Mr. Liu."

Catherine looked at Liu Xiaohai, wondering why her father would be working with such a boy. Despite her confusion, she nodded politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu."

"Hehe, hello, Miss Catherine."

Liu Xiaohai extended his hand to shake Catherine's hand in a gentlemanly manner. Catherine wasn't very old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six. Perhaps it was a characteristic of Americans, but Catherine was outstanding in both appearance and figure. Her low-cut, slit dress revealed a deep cleavage, and her blue eyes shone with a captivating gaze.

Catherine said, "Let's go upstairs. I have to go to work later."

With that, Catherine led the way towards the door of number 32. After passing through the door, there was a staircase. The three of them went up to the fourth floor before Catherine stopped.

The house was a standard two-story building. Liu Xiaohai noticed the rust on the iron gate and the poor cleanliness of the hallway. Even without entering, he could tell that Catherine had never asked her wealthy father for anything. Otherwise, with a little money, he could have provided his daughter with a multi-million dollar villa; why would she be stuck here?

Entering Catherine's home, Liu Xiaohai immediately felt a world of difference between the inside and outside. A simple bed and bookshelf were the only furniture; there were almost no luxuries. Although the decor wasn't fancy, it had a very comfortable feel.

Catherine put down her handbag and looked at Liu Xiaohai and Catherine, saying, "Please sit down, I'll get it."

Liu Xiaohai nodded, "Thank you, Miss Catherine."

Because he was controlling Catherine, although he could make her speak through his mind, her words were expressionless, and even her smiles seemed forced. To avoid giving himself away, Liu Xiaohai simply answered the questions himself.

Catherine went into a small room and, after fiddling around for a while, finally came out and looked at the contents of the room. She then looked at Liu Xiaohai and said, "Mr. Liu, these are all the shares. They're now yours."

The words Liu Xiaohai was thinking were spoken aloud by Kelling.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Kelling. Let's go then. I'll transfer the money to you,"

Liu Xiaohai said politely, taking the documents Kelling handed him.

Kelling: "Yes, daughter, we'll be going now."

Catherine didn't even glance at her father, saying, "Take care, Mr. Liu."

Liu Xiaohai picked up the documents and tucked them into his pocket. These were the most advantageous items for defeating the Wood brothers in the future. He and Kelling left Catherine's house and went downstairs. Liu Xiaohai had Kelling get into a car driven by a guard in the back. Now that he had the shares, Kelling was no longer important.

Getting into the car driven by his younger sister, Liu Xiaohai said they were going back to Jack's cake shop. All four cars immediately started and headed back the way they came. In the car, Liu Xiaohai closed his eyes to rest.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, Liu Xiaohai suddenly opened his eyes, turned to look at a black Cheetah van passing by, and said to his older sister, "Turn around and follow that Cheetah, but don't get too close."

His sister looked at him questioningly, wondering why he suddenly wanted to turn around, but she obeyed and quickly made a turn, turning back.

Liu Xiaohai stared at the black Cheetah ahead. Although he couldn't see anyone, while he had been resting with his eyes closed, he had been trying to sense his surroundings and people with his mental perception. When the black Cheetah passed by, Liu Xiaohai clearly sensed hostility from the people inside. They weren't getting too close, and Liu Xiaohai's mental perception couldn't pinpoint their location or sense their thoughts, but he felt that the people in that car were definitely connected to him.

After driving for nearly five minutes, Liu Xiaohai saw that the car was heading towards Catherine's house. Two minutes later, as they got closer, the car slowed down and stopped on the street opposite Catherine's house. Liu Xiaohai's

eyes gleamed as he said, "Drive over there."

His older sister obeyed and continued driving. Passing the cheetah, Liu Xiaohai saw five people get out of the car, all dressed in black suits and sunglasses, reminding him of the Wood family's henchmen. He stopped the car when they were about 500 meters away.

"I'll go check it out. You stay here,"

Liu Xiaohai said, his twelve dragon envoys immediately following him. His older sister also got out. Seeing them following him, Liu Xiaohai didn't allow them to refuse.

If the other party was after him, Catherine, who was still at home, would be in danger. Although Liu Xiaohai had no relation to her, he felt it necessary to check on Catherine.

The older sister didn't speak. She knew Liu Xiaohai's words now wouldn't allow anyone to refuse. If it were before, Liu Xiaohai would never have said they should stay, because he had no ability to protect himself. But now, Liu Xiaohai's strength was stronger than a special forces soldier. Even one of the Twelve Dragons' Commanders' monstrous assassins had been defeated in a sparring match with Liu Xiaohai, so the older sister was relieved.

Liu Xiaohai walked very fast, covering 500 meters in just three minutes. When he arrived at Catherine's building, he sensed that the five people were already in the stairwell. Although he didn't go straight to the fourth floor, Liu Xiaohai noticed that Catherine had already come out of her apartment on the fourth floor, quickly locked the door, and started walking downstairs.

Without hesitation, Liu Xiaohai strode into the stairwell, pretending to be a passerby, and headed upstairs. When he reached the second floor, five men in black stood on either side of the stairwell, their hands in their pockets. Liu Xiaohai ignored them and went straight to the third floor. Halfway up the stairs, he saw Catherine coming down.

Catherine looked at Liu Xiaohai below and asked疑惑地问道, "Mr. Liu, why are you back again?"

Liu Xiaohai replied, "Oh, I forgot my phone in your room."

After speaking, Liu Xiaohai quickly walked upstairs, because the five men below were also coming up; perhaps they had discovered something, they practically ran up.

Catherine didn't move, puzzled. "No, I was inside for a while before coming out. Your phone isn't on the sofa."

Liu Xiaohai went to Catherine's side, his tone urgent. "I said it is, so it is. Come upstairs with me, quick."

"Bang bang..."

Just as Liu Xiaohai pulled Catherine's arm around the corner on the third floor, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came from behind them. After the muffled sounds subsided, a huge explosion rang out from the wall behind Liu Xiaohai and Catherine.

A silenced gun. Liu Xiaohai didn't turn around, but he knew what kind of gun the other side used. His arrival had attracted their attention, and the fact that they hadn't attacked meant these assassins were very professional. They only confirmed his identity when he started talking to Catherine, which reminded Liu Xiaohai of the first attack he had experienced in the United States.

Liu Xiaohai pulled Catherine up the steep stairs in just a few steps. The five assassins behind them were clearly faster, but still slower than Liu Xiaohai and didn't have a chance to open the door. Liu Xiaohai simply kept running upwards. Because Catherine was with him, Liu Xiaohai was worried about her safety, so he hid her in front of him, exposing his back to the assassins' view.

"Ah..."

Gunshots rang out continuously, and Catherine screamed in fright. When had she ever experienced anything like this? It was normal for assassins to commit crimes in America, but Catherine never imagined she would encounter one.

The building was only six stories high. When Liu Xiaohai and Catherine ran to the fifth and a half floor, Liu Xiaohai realized that there was a dead end at the top, with a huge padlock on the door. Although Liu Xiaohai could open the lock in an instant, it would obviously waste a lot of time. His mind raced, and Liu Xiaohai pushed Catherine down onto the stairs.

Liu Xiaohai roared, "Die!"

He turned and clenched his fists in the air. Suddenly, the steel handrail on the stairwell twisted and snapped, swinging like a long, serpentine snake towards the five assassins below. It

was too sudden. The five assassins were too focused on their pursuit to react. The two at the front only saw a blur before a long object struck them, followed by cries of pain and several dull thuds as they fell to the ground. However, some of them were still able to move. Liu Xiaohai sensed that the two assassins at the front were already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The three seemed to exchange a glance. One of them crouched on the stairs and slowly climbed up, while the other two deliberately shuffled around in place. This method was too professional, but in Liu Xiaohai's eyes, it was almost no different from suicide. Looking at Catherine, who was terrified, Liu Xiaohai began his attack again.

Chapter 162 Catherine (Seeking Flowers)

The handrail of the stairwell was made of iron with carved threads. Although it was tightly connected to the ground, Liu Xiaohai used the power of his mind to pull three of the carved iron threads off the ground. Sensing the cooperation of the three, Liu Xiaohai had a thought, and the carved threads instantly flew up and flew downwards. Three different screams rang out, and then a few seconds later, there was silence.

Seeing Catherine huddled on the stairs, Liu Xiaohai went over and helped her up, whispering, "It's alright, Miss Catherine."

Catherine trembled, her face pale as she looked at Liu Xiaohai, then burst into tears and hugged him, crying, "Why? Why did they come to kill me?"

Hearing her words, Liu Xiaohai immediately felt sorry for Catherine. They had nothing to do with each other, yet she had been implicated. Knowing that this place was not safe to stay, Liu Xiaohai said, "Let's leave here first. I'll explain everything to you on the way."

Catherine nodded, her mood somewhat improved, though her tear-streaked face remained deathly pale. Liu Xiaohai helped her downstairs. At the corner, he had Catherine lean against him, shielding her eyes. The deaths of the five men below were gruesome, and seeing them would surely terrify her.

Three had carved iron tools driven into their heads, while the other two had been whipped to death. Each face bore a look of horror, their eyes wide open in death. Liu Xiaohai glanced at their corpses before carrying Catherine downstairs.

Once in the car, Liu Xiaohai finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing those men must have been following Catherine. Thinking of the other shareholders, a bad feeling crept into his heart. Thanks to his sister's excellent driving skills, the car quickly arrived at Jack's cake shop. Seeing the guards he had brought positioned around the perimeter, Liu Xiaohai quickly got out of the car alone, leaving his sister with Catherine inside.

The cake shop was already open, and a large crowd had gathered inside. Liu Xiaohai strode in and, seeing several shareholders and his men, his brow relaxed.

"Mr. Liu, where are Trennny and Jack?"

one shareholder asked angrily as he approached Liu Xiaohai. Judging from his expression, Liu Xiaohai knew his men must have stopped them.

Liu Xiaohai pointed to the basement and said, "They've been waiting for you all downstairs."

He counted the people; all six shareholders were present, and Liu Xiaohai felt relieved.

The group went down to the basement. Liu Xiaohai opened the door and saw Trennny and Jack still asleep on the table. He quickly knocked, waking the two elderly men.

Trennny squinted at the group in front of him and asked curiously, "Xiao Hai, how did I fall asleep?"

Jack chimed in, "Yeah, I fell asleep too. I just saw you chatting with Kaelin. Where's Kaelin?"

Liu Xiaohai took out the shares he'd received from Catherine and tossed them on the table, saying, "He gave me the shares and left. I don't know where he went."

Trennny picked up the document with delight and saw that it was indeed the share Kaelin owned. He couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't he rip you off?"

Liu Xiaohai nodded, "No, he gave them to me directly. He said he wanted to do something for you as a way of repaying you."

Liu Xiaohai had known Kaelin's intentions when he was there. Although he had to lie to Trennny, he had no other choice. If Kaelin really reported it to the Wood brothers, everything he had done would be for nothing.

Jack: "Haha, really, Kaelin has never been so generous. Stop chatting, brothers, sit down and let's talk about the shares."

Jack stood up and beckoned to the other shareholders. These six were all businessmen whom Treni had personally mentored, and they had made a lot of money with Treni. Although the income in Las Vegas was high, they all knew in their hearts that the Wood brothers had long wanted to take over their shares. Liu Xiaohai's appearance made them excited and eager to hand over their shares, of course, they wouldn't give them away for free like Jack and Kaelin.

"Brothers, Xiaohai represents me. First of all, I thank you for being willing to offer your shares."

Treni stood up and bowed to Jack and the six shareholders.

Liu Xiaohai also sat down. Hearing Treni's words, Liu Xiaohai was very happy, because Treni was giving the six shareholders a heads-up, letting them know that this was for Treni to seize his own fortune, and the shares shouldn't be too expensive.

Trennny's words had the desired effect. A nearly two-meter-tall American stood up, took out documents from his briefcase, and said, "Hehe, Trennny, I don't want more shares, five million dollars."

"Me too, five million dollars."

"..."

The six men were surprisingly unanimous, all willing to hand over their shares for only five million dollars. The eight major shareholders held a combined 56% stake, which was why the Wood brothers couldn't do anything about them. Now, two of the eight had gotten their shares for free, while the other six only wanted five million dollars.

Even at the lowest price, 7% of the shares would be nearly twenty million dollars. Liu Xiaohai had already had someone estimate this. Giving them a grateful look, Liu Xiaohai stood up and said, "Thank you all for your support. I won't let you suffer losses. I will take back Las Vegas, and these shares will be returned to you then.

" Trennny chimed in, "Hehe, Xiaohai is right, the shares are still yours, Huang Qichen!" However, Jack and the six shareholders all showed expressions of doubt and disbelief. Although they really wanted Liu Xiaohai to take over Las Vegas, it was simply too difficult. Where would a small pharmaceutical factory owner get the funds? Having shares doesn't guarantee everything. Liu Xiaohai

knew what they were thinking and didn't want to explain further. With a thought, he summoned Dragon Envoy No. 1 from the upper floor to the basement. Dragon Envoy No. 1 came to the table carrying a laptop and placed it there.

"Now, everyone, tell me your account numbers, and I'll transfer the money to you."

Liu Xiaohai had prepared nearly 100 million US dollars, though he couldn't raise that much himself and had borrowed a considerable amount from Long Hanhai.

Five million US dollars each, thirty million US dollars for six people—Liu Xiaohai transferred the money one by one. In just a short while, the transaction was finally completed. Looking at the documents in front of him, Liu Xiaohai was extremely excited. This was half of Las Vegas!

Perhaps due to too many concerns, the six shareholders made excuses and left after seeing the money in their accounts. Liu Xiaohai didn't want to waste time either. Now that he had the documents, he still needed to go back and discuss the next steps with Zhang Chumin. Before leaving Jack's cake shop, Liu Xiaohai left behind nearly thirty top-level guards. Because of the incident at Catherine's house, Liu Xiaohai was worried that assassins might still be lurking around, so he thought of leaving people to protect Jack.

After sending Trenney to the United Nations headquarters, Liu Xiaohai immediately had his eldest sister drive back to his residence. On the way, Liu Xiaohai issued a kill order to the twelve Dragon Envoys, eliminating the troublesome Kelling. Sometimes Liu Xiaohai felt that he was becoming more and more ruthless, but he would never be soft-hearted when dealing with people he disliked and who had bad intentions.

Catherine had clearly recovered; her complexion was much better. Although she was still shaken, she took the initiative to speak to Liu Xiaohai: "Mr. Liu, where are we going?"

Liu Xiaohai turned around and said, "To my place. You're not safe right now."

Catherine frowned and said, "Can you tell me why those people came after me?"

Liu Xiaohai's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It's simple. Your father offended the American Mafia. I've only heard him mention it once. Those people probably came after your father."

Catherine's face turned cold, and she said agitatedly, "It's him again! First he killed my mother, and now he's trying to harm his daughter."

Hearing her words, Liu Xiaohai opened his mouth but didn't speak. Although he didn't know what Kalin had done to make Catherine hate him so much, he knew Kalin's character was extremely cunning. Killing him was the right thing to do, but it would alert the Wood brothers. Thinking this, Liu Xiaohai increased the speed of his younger sister's car.

Upon arriving at their lodgings, a room was arranged for Catherine, with her younger sister keeping her company. Liu Xiaohai then found Zhang Chumin resting in the room. Seeing him still busy looking at some documents, Liu Xiaohai quickly said, "Brother Chumin, take a look at this."

Zhang Chumin took the stack of documents Liu Xiaohai handed him, glanced at them, and exclaimed in surprise, "The Las Vegas shareholding agreement? You got it so easily?"

Liu Xiaohai laughed, "Of course, with me handling this, it's a piece of cake."

Zhang Chumin nodded. He believed in Liu Xiaohai's abilities. Even if Liu Xiaohai said he would take over a country today, Zhang Chumin wouldn't doubt him. With Liu Xiaohai's status and vast wealth, he could indeed buy a not-so-large country and become its president.

After glancing at the documents, Zhang Chumin said, "Xiao Hai, are we about to face off against the Wood brothers?"

Liu Xiaohai hesitated, "Not yet. The time isn't right. At the very least, I need to completely destroy Ferrat's money laundering channels before we can confront them."

Zhang Chumin gave Liu Xiaohai an approving look and said admiringly, "I'm impressed. I've always thought I was pretty good, but I didn't expect your brain to be so sharp. I wonder if they'll be so desperate if they can't launder the money."

Liu Xiaohai sneered, "That's what they deserve. I also want to give Zhang Qibin an explanation."

At the mention of Zhang Qibin, Zhang Chumin's face immediately darkened. His best friend had died tragically. Now Zhang Chumin was certain that the Wood family was responsible. Instructor Ouyang had been lurking outside the Wood brothers' house, following them to many places and uncovering a lot of substantial information. Now, the Wood brothers had begun to work on how to target Liu Xiaohai's company personnel.

Zhang Chumin raised his head, his face resolute, and said, "Xiao Hai, take me with you. Even if I don't kill them myself, I still want to see them die."

Liu Xiaohai nodded deeply and chatted with Zhang Chumin for a while longer. Liu Xiaohai entrusted all his shares to Zhang Chumin for safekeeping; he was too lazy to keep such important things.

After leaving Zhang Chumin's room, Liu Xiaohai hurried to Catherine's room. His younger sister had been waiting outside. Seeing Liu Xiaohai arrive, she quickly opened the door, and Liu Xiaohai went in.

Catherine was sitting dejectedly on the bed, her legs curled up. When Liu Xiaohai entered, she only looked up at him but didn't speak. Because of the great shock she had suffered, Catherine was still unable to calm down. Her once neat dress was now distorted by her posture, and the hem of her dress was sticking up, revealing the edge of black lace panties between her legs. Liu Xiaohai only glanced at it before quickly turning his head away.

"Damn it, it's getting more and more out of control," Liu Xiaohai cursed himself angrily. Ever since he met Lina, Liu Xiaohai's ability to control himself when he saw women had become increasingly weak. Sometimes, even seeing his older sister would give him a strange urge. Although his older sister's skin was somewhat dark due to long-term training, her appearance was in no way inferior to the other girls around Liu Xiaohai.

Walking to Catherine's side, Liu Xiaohai called out softly, "Catherine..."

Chapter 163 [Gentle Possession]

"Mr. Liu..."

Catherine looked at Liu Xiaohai's face and addressed him.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about what happened earlier?"

Liu Xiaohai sat down next to Catherine and said.

"I'm so scared. It's Karlin who brought me bad luck. It must be..."

Catherine looked up and said angrily.

"He's your father, isn't he..."

Liu Xiaohai was very puzzled as to why Catherine hated Karlin so much. This hatred was beyond Liu Xiaohai's comprehension.

"I'm sorry, he's not my father. He's a scoundrel. He's the one who killed my mother,"

Catherine said, bursting into tears.

Seeing Catherine's pitiful sobs, Liu Xiaohai put his hand on her shoulder. Catherine then shifted her body, wrapped her arms around Liu Xiaohai's neck, and buried her face in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

Women are like that; when there's a safe haven nearby, they actively seek it out, allowing their fragile hearts to find protection, like finding a safe harbor.

"Mr. Liu, I have to go back. I know they'll definitely come looking for me again, but I can't cause you trouble,"

Catherine said suddenly after crying for a while.

"How can you do that? Those people are assassins,"

Liu Xiaohai said worriedly.

“It’s alright, I’m all alone anyway. If I die, I die. I’ve wanted to die for a long time. I have no relation to Mr. Liu, and I don’t want you to be implicated.”

Catherine’s face flushed red with tears. It was the first time a man had cared about her. Although he was just a boy not yet twenty, Catherine found it strange that her heart would flutter every time she looked at him.

“Catherine, can I call you sister?”

Liu Xiaohai asked to himself.

“Ah… sister? Of course… of course you can…”

Catherine said in surprise.

“Alright, now you’re my sister, so we’re not strangers anymore. Your business is my business, and no one can hurt you.”

Liu Xiaohai said confidently. He didn’t want to lie to Catherine, but he still hid the misfortune he had brought her.

“…”

Catherine looked at Liu Xiaohai in confusion. She found that Liu Xiaohai had a unique charm that none of the men around her possessed.

“Once I’ve sorted everything out, you can go back to work. Ask your boss for a long leave,”

Liu Xiaohai said with concern, thinking that Catherine was a working professional and considering the future.

“No need for leave. I don’t want to go back to work there anymore. I’ll resign,”

Catherine said softly.

“You must be tired, sister. Why don’t you rest for a bit?”

Having resolved Catherine’s concerns, Liu Xiaohai stood up.

“Little brother…can you stay with me for a while? I’m scared…I’m afraid to sleep,”

Catherine said wearily.

Liu Xiaohai nodded and sat back down on the bed. Only then did Catherine relax and lie down. Perhaps it was the openness typical of American girls, but Catherine tightly hugged Liu Xiaohai’s arm, as if afraid he would leave her.

Gazing deeply at Catherine’s beautiful face, Liu Xiaohai also lay down on the bed. The soft feeling on his arm stirred a surge of excitement within him, and a strange fire ignited within him.

“Little brother, can you tell me what you do?”

Catherine tried her best to put aside her fear and think of other topics.

“Me? I’m just an ordinary businessman. In America, I make medicine. Ruyan slimming capsules are a product of my company,”

Liu Xiaohai said with a smile.

“Ruyan… ah… little brother, you really surprise me! I’ve wanted to buy Ruyan capsules for a long time, but I’ve never been able to find them,”

Catherine said excitedly.

“You’re not fat at all,”

Liu Xiaohai said, looking Catherine up and down.

“Where am I not fat? My waist is all fat! If you don’t believe me, feel it,”

Catherine said, pulling Liu Xiaohai’s hand to her waist.

Liu Xiaohai's hand touched Catherine's waist, finding no fat at all, but rather soft and comfortable to the touch. Smelling the Link perfume on Catherine, Liu Xiaohai gently wiped away the tear stains on her face. After wiping away her tears, Liu Xiaohai noticed a sudden change in Catherine's eyes—the kind of look a woman gives to the man she loves.

"Why are you crying again?"

Liu Xiaohai sighed, distressed. He had just wiped away Catherine's tears, and now she was crying again.

"No one has ever cared about me like this,"

Catherine choked out.

Hearing Catherine's words, Liu Xiaohai felt a sudden surge of excitement. He wrapped his arms around Catherine's smooth back and kissed her passionately, almost suffocating her. It

was so sudden that Catherine didn't even react. She didn't resist, but let Liu Xiaohai kiss her, even actively sticking out her tongue to entwine with his. Her only dress was gradually lifted up by Liu Xiaohai, revealing her lower body.

Liu Xiaohai's domineering nature made Catherine breathless. Her disobedient body was captured and enslaved by him, experiencing a unique pleasure. Catherine's mind went blank for a moment. She reached down to Liu Xiaohai's crotch and grasped his large member. Catherine knew that she and Liu Xiaohai would never be siblings; that was a lie.

After a long silence, their lips parted, both breathing heavily. Liu Xiaohai said, "Catherine, do you mind if I love you?"

"Xiaohai...please don't hold back, I want you to be a little crazy."

Catherine shyly closed her eyes.

Perhaps she was seeking release, releasing her inner fears, or perhaps it was the power of attraction emanating from Liu Xiaohai that made her fall in love with him so easily. It wasn't the first time Liu Xiaohai had seen a girl so readily engage in something with him. His hands climbed onto Catherine's breasts, and he began to knead them vigorously.

A gentle breeze wafted through the blinds, flickering the soft candlelight, which illuminated the woman's face and her jade-like neck, making the gold necklace beneath her neck appear even more golden.

In this world of two, everything was so warm and gentle. To ensure a peaceful space and not disrupt this atmosphere, Liu Xiaohai deliberately silenced his phone.

"Will you always love me?"

With her last line of defense broken, Catherine opened her eyes and looked at Liu Xiaohai.

Liu Xiaohai's fingers gave her immense pleasure. Often, a woman's satisfaction comes from a man's affection and the moment, not from his virility. In this situation, Catherine was already aroused; even

the gentlest touch brought her immense joy. Catherine was a woman who knew exactly what she needed. She didn't need Liu Xiaohai to be powerful; she needed his affection and the passion of their first time together. Liu Xiaohai could give her all of this, and in just the right amount , neither too hot nor too cold. "Hiss..." When Liu Xiaohai forcefully entered Catherine's body, Catherine let out a painful groan, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter the word "pain." This was a woman's first time. Catherine raised her head, enjoying the impact Liu Xiaohai was giving her. The process of transforming from a girl into a woman was so wonderful, Catherine thought excitedly, moving her waist upwards to meet Liu Xiaohai's movements... "Ah... Xiaohai, do you often do that with women?" Catherine had just released comfortably, thinking that Liu Xiaohai would release like her, but she didn't expect Liu Xiaohai to continue riding her. His every move and skillful technique made Catherine unable to believe that this young boy had such amazing skills, that he could make her release so thoroughly. "I'm only with women I like," Liu Xiaohai said honestly. "Then how come you're so strong?" Although Catherine had just lost her virginity, she knew that the affairs between men and women were not very complicated, and in fact, quite simple. "It's innate," Liu Xiaohai chuckled. "Hmph, you're just kidding, aren't you?" Catherine said disbelievingly. "If you don't believe me, just try it. I'll show you what a top-notch man is." Liu Xiaohai stopped talking and continued his frenzied movements, his hands constantly changing the shape of Catherine's large breasts. "Ah...so good...you're rubbing me so well...put it in me..." "Mmm...mmm...deeper...faster...oh oh..." Catherine swayed her hips, tilting her head back to watch the huge penis going in and out of her pink little hole. It was her first time having sex, and she was swearing that Liu Xiaohai would be her only man because he was so amazing. "Oh...ah...mmm...mmm..." Liu Xiaohai's frenzied thrusting made Catherine's delicate body twist wildly on the bed. Her legs were on the bed, her snowy buttocks were raised high, and her whole body trembled. Her long nails dug deeply into Liu Xiaohai's flesh, and she immediately felt a surge of heat in her little hole. Hearing Catherine's increasingly intense moans, knowing she was about to climax again, Liu Xiaohai felt an intense sense of satisfaction. Only after Catherine released again did he finally let go and ejaculate as well, releasing his essence into her body… “You’re such a wonderful man…” Catherine nestled in Liu Xiaohai’s arms, her fingers tracing patterns on his chest. “Hehe, sister, you’re a wonderful woman too.” Liu Xiaohai rolled over and embraced Catherine. The moment they touched, his erection returned. “Ah…you’re so naughty, why are you reacting again?” Catherine asked, feigning fear. “Because you’re such a beauty, I don’t want it to react,” Liu Xiaohai chuckled. “I can’t take it anymore, little brother, can I rest for a bit?” Catherine said shyly, hiding in Liu Xiaohai’s arms. Liu Xiaohai didn't speak, but secretly used his mental powers to restore Catherine's strength. In just a short while, Catherine's tired expression vanished without a trace, replaced by a radiant look. "What happened?" Catherine looked up, feeling the sudden surge of power within her, and asked in confusion. "Because I love you," Liu Xiaohai said earnestly. "No, little brother, you must know some kind of magic, right?" Catherine shook her head. "Of course not, this is a kind of healing technique from China that can restore your strength," Liu Xiaohai said, a kind lie. "I see, it's normal for a little medicine to know a bit, little brother." Catherine believed Liu Xiaohai's words. Although her strength had been restored, Catherine didn't want to go through that again. Suddenly, Liu Xiaohai lowered his head and began licking Catherine's neck. His large hand rose again, climbing up to her breasts and gently kneading them. "Oh..." When Catherine was being squeezed by Liu Xiaohai's big hand, her whole body became soft and weak again. The extra strength in her body was as if Liu Xiaohai had suddenly injected a stimulant into her body, which immediately put her consciousness into a world that was both real and illusory. She couldn't help but close her eyes.

Liu Xiaohai embraced Catherine, laying her flat on her back, maximizing the luster of her exposed skin. Her rosy nipples were vividly set atop her two snow-white peaks, full of life.

After admiring them for a while, Liu Xiaohai finally leaned down, gently biting one with his pearly teeth and teasing it with his nimble tongue…

Chapter 164

A Night of Passion with Catherine. Perhaps due to Liu Xiaohai's recent busyness and the fact that he had rarely enjoyed time with his woman since arriving in America, he had no intention of letting Catherine go after finally encountering a foreign beauty. He used his mental energy to help Catherine recover until dawn before finally leaving her room.

“Xiaohai, you're up so early!”

Just as he stepped out of the room, his older sister appeared from the side. If Liu Xiaohai hadn't been so bold, he would have been startled by her.

"Uh, after resting a lot, I'm not sleepy anymore,"

Liu Xiaohai said energetically. Since gaining mental power, Liu Xiaohai rarely felt tired; most of the time, he forced himself to rest.

"You didn't have a moment's rest all night, did you? I slept next door. Sigh, it was a really tough night,"

his older sister said, yawning. Only then did Liu Xiaohai notice that his older sister must have hadn't slept well last night; she even had dark circles under her eyes.

"Uh... actually..."

Liu Xiaohai lowered his head embarrassedly. Although he was a young master, Liu Xiaohai never treated his older sister as a subordinate; he always considered her his older sister. However, Liu Xiaohai never addressed his older sister by her full name, always calling her by her first name.

Liu Xiaohai felt guilty after his younger sister overheard his embarrassing story from the previous day. In all the years his sister had been by his side, he had never seen her fall for any man, a fact that always puzzled him. If it was due to a mission, then he was the one who had held her back. However, his grandfather, Long Hanhai, had once told his sister to find boyfriends with other men, and he had agreed and even looked for others, but his sister had always refused.

"Actually, don't say it was her own choice,"

his sister said, her tone almost like a lecture.

"Yes, it was her own choice. Ugh, I'm hungry, I'm going to get breakfast."

Being questioned by his sister made Liu Xiaohai feel ashamed; he still couldn't shake his shyness and reluctance to speak in front of women, though he had improved a lot.

Watching Liu Xiaohai's figure disappear into the stairwell, his sister stood there blankly, a strange look in her eyes, biting her lip. Her expression now resembled that of a heartbroken woman, clearly suffering.

"Sigh, Liu Xiaohai, how many women do you want? There's a saying, 'A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow,' so how could Da Mei like me?"

In the restaurant, Liu Xiaohai muttered to himself.

He knew very well that Da Mei's sudden appearance and words earlier... He rarely used his intuition to figure out what his people were thinking, but just now, out of curiosity, he tried to understand Da Mei's thoughts and discovered she was jealous.

Although Da Mei had dark skin, she possessed a unique charm. With her striking looks, she had been chosen as Liu Xiaohai's bodyguard when he was seven or eight years old, and had served as so for ten years. During those ten years, Liu Xiaohai had developed a deep affection for Da Mei, though he always considered it familial.

"Xiaohai, you're up early!"

Zhang Chumin appeared before Liu Xiaohai, greeting him loudly when he saw him lost in thought.

"Yeah, couldn't sleep,"

Liu Xiaohai replied with a smile.

“Me too. We’ve got our hands on the Wood family’s funds, and I’ve already had them infiltrate.”

Zhang Chumin sat down opposite Liu Xiaohai, reporting on the recent situation.

“Good, I was just about to start working on something with the Wood family.”

Liu Xiaohai nodded.

“With these shares, dealing with the Wood family will be much easier.”

Zhang Chumin said excitedly.

“Heh, not entirely. The Wood family doesn’t just make a living from gambling.”

Liu Xiaohai thought for a moment and said.

Liu Xiaohai had long since figured out the Wood family’s businesses. They were involved in almost every illegal activity in the world: gambling, drugs, businesses, loan sharking—these were all the Wood family’s livelihoods, and the two Wood brothers were quite good at each one. If he didn’t want to defeat the Wood brothers with his own strength, Liu Xiaohai would have already told his grandfather to handle this matter.

“But Las Vegas is the Wood family’s most valued asset. I wonder how they will react if we can acquire it.”

Zhang Chumin said expectantly.

"I'll make them suffer a terrible death,"

Liu Xiaohai said bitterly. Since leaving Hanhai Manor, the Wood brothers were Liu Xiaohai's biggest foes, and also his most difficult to deal with. However, Liu Xiaohai was confident that he could bring down the Wood family with his own strength.

"Hmm, by the way, when I went downstairs just now, I saw my eldest sister standing blankly outside your room,"

Zhang Chumin said, frowning. He was one of the few people who knew his eldest sister well and had never seen her troubled by anything.

"Oh, that's just how she is, all mysterious,"

Liu Xiaohai laughed.

"No, that expression is so strange, I feel like I'm very familiar with that feeling,"

Zhang Chumin said, looking down, his mind racing.

After a long while, Zhang Chumin suddenly looked up and said in a low voice, "Xiaohai, your eldest sister must have fallen for someone."

"Why do you say that?"

Liu Xiaohai asked, pretending not to understand.

"I've seen that expression on my first love's face before, it's definitely because of love,"

Zhang Chumin said confidently.

"Well, maybe my sister has a lover back home, and she misses him,"

Liu Xiaohai said haphazardly.

"No... Xiaohai, you know my sister better than I do, but I know she's never given any man a second glance,"

Zhang Chumin continued.

"Don't speculate. My sister is a woman too. Are you going to be jealous if she likes someone else? If your wife finds out, you'll be kneeling on a washboard!"

Liu Xiaohai teased.

"Hehe, I wouldn't. If I'm not mistaken, my sister is still a girl, even though she's almost thirty,"

Zhang Chumin said with a mischievous grin. His sister was actually 27 years old. She had been selected and trained as a special forces soldier by the country at a young age and hadn't had much contact with people.

"Go away, brother, stop gossiping behind her back. My sister just doesn't want to find someone. With her looks, if she changed her clothes and went out, the men chasing her could form a reinforced platoon,"

Liu Xiaohai thought, admiring his sister's charming smile.

“That’s right. Every female bodyguard around you is a stunning beauty. They not only need to be skilled, but also good-looking,”

Zhang Chumin laughed.

“Alright, stop gossiping. If my sister finds out you’re talking about her, she’ll make you regret it.”

Liu Xiaohai threatened Zhang Chumin, who immediately shut up upon hearing this. The person he was talking about was a battle-hardened, undefeated female special forces soldier, a formidable woman who could knock him off his feet with a single punch.

"What are you talking about? You seem so happy."

Just as the two exchanged a smile, Da Mei arrived at the restaurant, accompanied by Ba Mei.

"Oh, Xiaohai, we were just talking about you,"

Zhang Chumin said with a smile.

"Talking about me? Why are you talking about me?"

Da Mei asked疑惑地, taking the initiative to sit next to Liu Xiaohai. She was used to this arrangement; it served two purposes—protecting Liu Xiaohai and enjoying being near him.

"Nothing of the sort, don't listen to Brother Chumin's nonsense,"

Liu Xiaohai gestured to Zhang Chumin to stop playing with fire, but Zhang Chumin ignored him and continued speaking as if nothing was amiss.

"He said you seemed absent-minded this morning, with a flushed face. You must have fallen for someone, right?"

"Who...who said that? Nonsense!"

Da Mei blushed, glancing at Liu Xiaohai, and immediately realized her words were a bit abrupt.

"I didn't say that, it was Brother Chu Min who said it."

Liu Xiaohai frowned, not wanting to take the blame for Zhang Chu Min. He knew perfectly well who Da Mei liked.

"Zhang Chu Min, do you think you're living a carefree life?"

Da Mei raised an eyebrow, speaking coolly.

"No...my life isn't carefree at all. Um, I'm full, I'm going back to organize my materials."

Zhang Chu Min stood up and left. His breakfast—a piece of bread and some side dishes—was barely touched.

Watching his flustered escape, Da Mei was even more certain that Zhang Chu Min had talked about her behind her back. But she was helpless; he must have caught her daydreaming. With Zhang Chu Min's cunning mind, how could he not know what she was thinking?

"What a waste..."

Eighth Sister looked at Zhang Chumin's uneaten breakfast and actually pulled it in front of her, eating heartily. Compared to Eldest Sister, Eighth Sister ate more like a man, without any slow or careful chewing; to put it bluntly, she lacked femininity.

"Xiao Hai, what did Chumin say to you?"

Eldest Sister asked softly while eating her breakfast.

"N-nothing... he just said you've fallen in love for the first time."

Liu Xiaohai deliberately seemed to be hiding something, but his words made Eldest Sister blush even more. Looking at the expression on Eldest Sister's face, Liu Xiaohai stared at her intently.

"Hmph, when I catch him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

Eldest Sister said, taking a big bite of her breakfast.

"Xiao Hai, we didn't sleep well last night. I don't know what that American woman next door was wailing about in the middle of the night, it was so noisy."

Eighth Sister complained to Liu Xiaohai while eating.

"Really? Maybe she was scared. A girl experiencing something like this should have this reaction."

Liu Xiaohai glanced at Eldest Sister before speaking.

"But her moans sound like a cat in heat, it's really strange. I've heard that kind of sound before, and no other men have ever been in her room,"

Eighth Sister continued boldly, unaware of the impact her words would have on Liu Xiaohai and Eldest Sister.

Eldest Sister lowered her head almost to the table, while Liu Xiaohai blushed furiously. He couldn't tell if Eighth Sister was faking it or simply unaware. If she was faking it, why would she say it in front of him? But remembering Eighth Sister's usual personality and behavior, Liu Xiaohai immediately understood. There was nothing Eighth Sister wouldn't dare to do.

"Um, I'm full, I'll go back now,"

Liu Xiaohai said, quickly eating a little something, standing up as he saw Eighth Sister wanted to continue asking questions. Actually, he wasn't full yet, but he had to avoid the question. If Eighth Sister kept asking these kinds of questions, Liu Xiaohai really didn't know how to answer.

"Just this much?"

Eldest Sister suddenly looked up and said gently.

"Hmm, not too hungry. Oh, by the way, have them prepare something for Catherine later."

Liu Xiaohai glanced at his younger sister. It was the first time he'd heard her speak to him in such a gentle voice, and the first time she'd shown him such concern. Most of the time, she never seemed to know how to care for him.

"Okay."

Mentioning Catherine, his sister's expression clearly changed. Liu Xiaohai shook his head dejectedly and quickly walked away. He knew his sister too well; she was a girl who couldn't hide her feelings. She wore her heart on her sleeve, as if she wanted everyone to see it. If she really liked him, Liu Xiaohai truly didn't know how to accept her.
