The second section, "Tiger's Den:

The Cicada's Lament," describes the Emperor Hotel, a five-star hotel located at the intersection of Hongxing Road and Qufu Road in Tianjin. I had passed by it more than once. Due to its unique location on the banks of the Haihe River, its nightclubs, saunas, and upscale clubs all have appealing names like "Riverside Adventure," "Listening to the Waves," and "River View." However, because its exteriors clearly indicate exorbitant prices, I had never dared to venture there before.

At 8 PM, a convoy of cars, led by a black Guangzhou Honda and followed by three gray Refine MPVs, entered the hotel's underground parking lot. After parking, the Honda driver immediately got out, ran to the passenger side, opened the door, and greeted a man who appeared to be just over forty years old. Simultaneously, the rear door opened, and two men escorted a young man of average build and appearance out—this was Tian Yu, a trusted lieutenant of Shen Dongcai, and myself, whom they had invited.

Looking up at the towering skyscraper from the courtyard surrounded by walls, I knew that this magnificent building was, in my current state, a veritable den of dragons and tigers. Thinking of this, my dry throat involuntarily twitched a few times, as if searching for a bit of lubrication to soothe my current tense mood.

The group of thugs who had come down from the whirlwind left in another direction, while I, led by Da Min, Tian Yu, and his two bodyguards, walked through the parking lot corridor filled with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Rolls-Royce, and Cadillac cars, to the elevator. Tian Yu took off his glasses and gave a slight gesture, and Da Min immediately stepped forward to press the elevator button.

Ha… My left hand was still in my pocket, and I yawned lightly while wiping my mouth with my right hand, asking listlessly, “Brother Yu, why did Boss Shen choose such a place to meet me? His house would be much better; I know it well!” Actually, I was secretly pleased. This place, combining leisure, entertainment, and dining, was far more suitable for me to hide and escape than a secluded villa area like Lijing Haoyuan. If my trick didn't work, I'd have a much better chance of making a quick getaway.

Hehe! Tian Yu maintained his usual nonchalant attitude, seemingly devoid of any tension: "This entire building belongs to President Shen. By day, he's the general manager of Yilong Real Estate Company, and by night, he's the president here. Every organization in the Emperor Building is set up by President Shen; this is his home too." I couldn't believe that the Emperor Building, the premier entertainment venue in Tianjin, was actually owned by Shen Dongcai. I clicked my tongue in disbelief: "Rich people are different. Damn, running such a huge business, and I only get two or three bills for tutoring them for a lesson! Ugh!" I spat lightly. "

It's alright, Brother Yang. After you and President Shen resolve things peacefully, I'll treat you. You can play with all sorts of things here. How about it? Interested?" Tian Yu put a hand on my shoulder, speaking very intimately, as if he were a very close friend.

I smiled slightly and remained silent, but a chill ran down my spine. Shen Dongcai went to such lengths to capture me; Tian Yu, being involved, must be well aware of my importance to his boss. If we met, we'd likely clash; there would be no possibility of a peaceful resolution. Yet he's speaking to me so amicably now, clearly trying to lower my guard and create conditions for Shen Dongcai to take action against me. I increasingly feel that this Tian Yu is no ordinary person.

Just then, a ding sounded, and one of the three elevator doors opened. Tian Yu went in first, and I followed, surrounded by the remaining three. When Da Min pressed the button for the top floor, 27, the elevator slowly ascended. Perhaps because it wasn't peak nightlife time, no one stopped, and we went straight to the 27th floor.

The elevator doors opened with a whoosh, and I was dragged out by the two young men, only to be confronted by a tall, burly man. This man was incredibly muscular, his hands and feet two sizes larger than average. His black shirt with gold patterns barely covered his upper body; the four buttons from the collar down were undone, revealing his well-developed, hairy pectoral muscles. His fleshy face was contorted with uncontrollable rage, the flesh on his cheeks twitching, causing his bald head to tremble. As soon as

he saw me, he stepped forward, grabbed my collar, and shouted, "You son of a bitch, is this the one who messed with my brother?" The large hand gripping my collar seemed familiar; I immediately realized this man must be very close to Hou Yongli. I had overheard Tian Yu on the phone with someone named Yongzhong, and guessed this was Hou Yongli's younger brother, Hou Yongzhong.

Thinking this, I sneered and said, "Fine, you surnamed Hou, you should be glad I, Yang Ziyang, wasn't in Hung Hom, otherwise you'd be the one in the hospital right now, waiting for the doctor to cut off the skin from your ass and stick it to your face!" "Damn it, you still dare to be arrogant here? I'll break both your legs first!" The man pressed down, trying to force me to the ground and get rough with me.

At this moment, Tian Yu quickly stepped between us: "Hey, hey, Yongzhong, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" He said, pushing him away. "

Damn it, don't interfere, I won't swallow this insult if I don't cripple him!" Hou Yongzhong continued to press me to the ground with one hand, while trying to push Tian Yu aside with the other.

Tian Yu grabbed his arm, her face showing displeasure, and said in a sullen voice: "Don't do anything rash, don't lay a finger on President Shen before he sees him!" "You bastard..." Hou Yongzhong was about to use his brute force to blast Tian Yu away when suddenly an elderly man, nearly sixty years old, ran up from the end of the corridor. He grabbed their intertwined arms, one in each hand, and solemnly pleaded, "Stop arguing! Stop arguing! If you disturb Master Shen, he'll get angry again! Let go! Let go!" Seeing the old man intervene, the two obediently released their intertwined arms. "

You... Hmph!" Hou Yongzhong first lifted me up forcefully, then shoved me away with his forearm, muttering curses, "You bastard, let me teach you how to live a little longer!" I was somewhat prepared, but this guy was incredibly strong, and I still stumbled from his push. If it weren't for the two men guarding me behind me, I would have fallen heavily against the wall. Once I steadied myself, I brushed the dust off my clothes as if contact with him was a dirty thing, and sneered, "You beast, you shouldn't be surnamed Monkey, you should be surnamed Bear!" "What did you say?" Hou Yongzhong, who had just released me, was enraged again upon hearing this.

The old man quickly pulled him back, saying, "Alright, alright, why are you arguing with him?" Only then did I have a chance to observe the elderly man in front of me more closely. He was quite burly, though not as robust as the Hou brothers, but still half a head taller than them, easily over 1.9 meters. His hair was parted to the side, his beard was neatly combed, his face had few wrinkles, and he had a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, appearing very energetic and spirited, quite like an elder. "

Uncle Da, is President Shen free now?" Seeing that Hou Yongzhong was stopped and dared not disrespect the elder, Tian Yu pulled the old man aside and asked. "

Oh…hehe!" Uncle Da hesitated, then mumbled, "Master Shen is busy right now... ah... busy, maybe... maybe he'll be done in a bit, please be patient!" "The boss is having sex, what's wrong with saying that?" Hou Yongzhong, seeing Uncle Da's hesitation, added loudly, then lewdly grinned at Tian Yu, "That new girl is fucking hot, the boss spent the whole night with her last night, and just now he called her into his office again, sigh..." Tian Yu glanced at him impatiently, then at me, interrupting him warily, "Alright, you dare to comment on even President Shen's woman?" "Oh, hehe, you guys chat, I'll go see if Master Shen has time now!" Uncle Da seemed reluctant to get involved in their conversation and jogged back the way he came.

"If that's the case, I don't think we can wait much longer..." I said with a grin, straightening the beige shirt that Hou Yongzhong had wrinkled. "Your boss Shen, he's no good at that kind of thing. Even with the drug, it's only a matter of ten minutes. You might not know, but I've seen it for myself!" "Hmph!" Tian Yu snorted softly without saying anything, while Hou Yongzhong cursed viciously. "You think you're so great? I'll castrate you later, then let's see how you handle it!" I chuckled and ignored him, as arguing with him seemed beneath my dignity.

A moment later, Uncle Da strode over: "You all go in, Mr. Shen's finished!" I gestured with my chin towards Tian Yu and made a face, the meaning of which was: "See? I told you so!" Tian Yu shook his head helplessly, as if replying: "You're really troublesome, still having this leisure even when things are at their worst!" Uncle Da led the way, Hou Yongzhong followed closely behind, and Tian Yu, Da Min, and the two attendants sandwiched me between them as we walked forward.

Passing through a walkway with marble-paved walls and floor tiles that looked like mirrors, and past rows of European-style crystal chandeliers radiating soft, antique beige light, we arrived at a large, solid wood double door. "

Wait!" Hou Yongzhong grabbed me by the back of the collar, pulling me off balance, then shoved me against the wall and began groping me.

I knew it was unavoidable, so I simply raised my hands above my head and spread my legs, letting him search me. I kept saying, "Hey, you're going to search me, but don't take this opportunity to grope me! I..." Before I could finish, he slapped me on the back of the head, pinning my face against the wall, rendering me speechless.

Hou Yongzhong searched me for a while, finding nothing dangerous, only a cell phone and three coins. He tossed the coins back into my pocket and pocketed the phone himself.

Uncle Da knocked lightly on the door a few times and whispered, "Master Shen, they're here." A moment later, someone opened the door, and we filed in in order.

It was a large hall of at least fifty square meters, with seven or eight black leather sofas around the perimeter, and a long, oval-shaped faux-wood conference table and a dozen low-backed swivel chairs in the center. A star-red carpet covered the floor, and four ornate, multicolored chandeliers hung from the ceiling. At the front of the room was a bar-like area connected to a screen wall with recessed cabinet lights.

I looked around and saw that apart from a man in gray suit trousers and a black shirt standing every five or six meters, there was no sign of Shen Dongcai. Just as I was wondering about this, a woman's scream suddenly came from behind the screen, followed by a middle-aged man walking out while chuckling lewdly.

This man turned around the screen, and his upper body appeared on the bar, which was none other than Shen Dongcai. He was only wearing a large white woolen bathrobe, revealing a pair of lace silk boxer shorts and his bulging belly. He was holding a towel in his hand, wiping the water off his hands as he slowly turned around the bar.

Shen Dongcai scanned everyone present with his eyes, and when he saw me, his slightly closed eyes, which were filled with a hint of frost, suddenly widened, and his sharp gaze was undisguisedly fixed on me. At the same time, the corners of his thick mouth began to turn up slightly, and a look I had never seen before appeared on his face.

"Little Yang... Yangzi... Yang Ziyang... Jesus!" He stared intently as I slowly approached, uttering a title with each step, a strange smile playing on his lips—a smile that was hard to decipher, whether it was sudden realization, relief, excitement, or smugness. But the smile twisted into a grimace as he uttered the word "Jesus."

"President Shen..." Tian Yu whispered something in Shen Dongcai's ear, covering his mouth with one hand. Shen Dongcai's smile froze as he listened to his subordinate's words, his upturned lips drooping. His eyes, though still fixed on me, shifted from excitement to rage. He slowly raised his round head, his eyelids slightly closed, glancing at me out of the corner of his eye. His rage turned to a dark gloom, as if he were deep in thought.

I knew Tian Yu was telling Shen Dongcai about my arrest that day. The old man must be feeling quite resentful knowing I escaped from Hou Yongli and his twenty-odd thugs, routed them, and then willingly followed Tian Yu to see him. That's why he'd toned down his arrogant attitude from when we first met.

Hmph! I snorted lightly, and before the host could even offer to let me pull out a swivel chair from under the table, I sat down sideways to Shen Dongcai, crossing my left leg over my right knee, resting my right elbow on the armrest, and my left hand naturally on the round conference table with its faux maple wood lacquer finish. I tapped the surface lightly with my fingers as I said with a relaxed smile, "Uncle Shen… Boss Shen… Master Shen… Shen Dongcai!" I tapped once after each title.

By this time, Tian Yu had finished his report and stood respectfully behind Shen Dongcai, hands behind his back. But Hou Yongzhong kept glaring at me angrily. Seeing how impolite I was to his master, he shouted, "Hey, you little brat, is this your house? You think you can just sit here like that? Stand up!" He was about to rush at me.

Shen Dongcai didn't say anything, just gave him a look. Hou Yongzhong stopped, turning his head to look at me as he walked towards Shen Dongcai. When he reached him, he said indignantly, "Boss, this bastard deserves a beating. Give me three minutes, and I'll beat him until he kneels down and talks to you!" "Little Yang..." Shen Dongcai ignored him, gently pushing him aside, signaling him to stand aside. Then he slowly walked towards me, speaking methodically as he went, "I think I'll just call you that for now..." His pace seemed to be considering what to say next.

"Um, whatever you want, it doesn't matter what you call me, you're still you and I'm still me!" I remained seated, my posture unchanged as he approached, as if I were the master of the room.

It was clear that Shen Dongcai hadn't given it much thought when he first heard I'd been captured by his men and brought before him; he immediately intended to intimidate me with his boss-like aura. He thought that would be enough to make me submit. However, after Tian Yu recounted the events to him, his thoughts changed. At that moment, he realized I wasn't as simple as he initially thought, and he knew that continuing to put on airs wouldn't scare me, hence his significant shift in attitude.

Shen Dongcai slowly walked up to me, remaining silent until he pulled out a chair and sat opposite me. Then, he spoke gently: "Little Yang, we've known each other for over half a year. Honestly, your Uncle Shen has treated you very well. If you need money, you can just tell me. There's no need to pull this stunt." His eyes were like those of a junior caught making a mistake, filled with sincere reproach and benevolent patience.

"Heh..." I chuckled dismissively, glancing around at the burly men in suits, their faces expressionless. "Uncle Shen, I don't quite understand what you mean. Yes, you've been good to me, but I haven't let you down either. Your daughter's grades have improved significantly in all subjects, haven't they? Why did you bring me here today, with such a grand entrance? What's the purpose?" Actually, I knew I'd already been exposed. They even knew I lived in Yuehua Residential Area and addressed me as Jesus. My past extortion was obviously undeniable. However, my feigned ignorance was purposeful. When I decided to walk into their trap, I'd already planned my escape, and I'd been secretly carrying out this plan. Now, facing their unquestionable accusations, I had to deny everything to extract information, understand what was really going on, and adjust my strategy accordingly.

Sure enough, Shen Dong's expression changed upon hearing my words. He turned his head slightly, shaking his head and muttering softly, "He won't admit it, oh dear, he won't admit it!" His face was full of disappointment and regret.

Suddenly, he reached under the table and pulled something out, slamming it onto the table in front of me. With a stern face, he coldly said, "Look at these, open them and see!" I saw it was a dark gray leather bag, about the size of a laptop, but bulging with unseen contents.

Suspicious, I didn't reach for it. Seeing my hesitation, Shen Dong slowly unzipped the bag, taking things out and placing them before me while explaining, "This is the recording of the extortion call I received. After audio stripping and a computer comparison with your voice, the similarity is 94%. This is the forensic report from the relevant department..." A cassette tape, pressing down on a thin booklet, was placed before me.

It contained the statement of the driver from Hongda Taxi Company who picked you up from the Lijing residential area, and the surveillance footage from the entrance of the complex... Another cassette tape and a CD were then taken out of the bag.

This is my daughter's ID card and the several bank cards I had on me that day, all with your fingerprints on them… Shen Dan's ID card and the bank cards I threw away were now prominently displayed before me.

This is the surveillance footage from the VIP room of the China Construction Bank's Balitai branch… He then placed a thick VCD player on the table and pushed it over.

These are the receipts and transaction details from the Bank of Communications' Balitai and Xianfeng Road branches, showing you deposited money after your withdrawal and the three subsequent withdrawals… Another stack of bank receipts was gently slapped on the table and presented to me.

After displaying this evidence, Shen Dong leaned back in his chair, looking at me expressionlessly, like a police officer interrogating a suspect. After a long while, he said: "Would you like to watch all these recordings and videos? I have all the equipment." As he placed the items in front of me one by one, I watched him casually, as if none of this concerned me, but inside, I was in turmoil. I had only heard Jiang Shan talk about Shen Dongcai's immense power in Tianjin, how he had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and how omnipotent he was, but I didn't have a concrete understanding of it. This led me to dare to try and poach his employees. Only now do I realize the true extent of this underworld boss's influence.

These things aren't easily obtained; I'm certain he achieved them through his connections. So, if he has an unfathomable network of relationships in transportation, finance, and even forensic science, and he's still relying on his own hands? How can that be satisfying? [Forum reputation guaranteed! High-grade silicone video, Fan Bingbing's genitals, realistically molded, highly realistic vulva shape, soft and delicate skin!

In Tianjin, even the police, through their state apparatus, would have to exhaust countless resources to find a taxi driver, yet he has done it.

I'm familiar with bank management practices, so I know that without police intervention and proper authorization, accessing VIP lounge surveillance footage requires the signatures of the head office's president and vice president. This is why I took the bold step of withdrawing cash and transferring it to a new account. Yet, Shen Dongcai not only had access to these recordings but also managed to take them away for safekeeping—something no ordinary person could do.

If he just happened to have a close relationship with the Construction Bank, that would be understandable. But the fact that I deposited money and made several withdrawals at the Bank of Communications speaks volumes about his influence. Besides requiring high-level approval to access depositor information, my deposits

and withdrawals weren't all from the same Bank of Communications branch; to obtain all this information, I would need to access the head office's central storage. Furthermore, the cards I threw away and Shen Dan's identification—though seemingly minor, they reveal something even more. They demonstrate that this man not only has extensive connections in high-level circles but also controls even the lowest rungs of society. Otherwise, those things wouldn't stay in the trash can for more than a few hours before being dumped into a garbage truck and transported to a garbage transfer station for unified destruction, never to see the light of day again. "

Boss, don't waste your breath on this kid. Hand him over to me, and I guarantee I'll make him vomit up everything he's thinking!" Hou Yongzhong, seeing that I remained silent and seeing my nonchalant and dismissive attitude, got angry and was about to rush forward.

"Hmm..." Shen Dongcai stopped Hou Yongzhong with a wave of his hand, then looked at me again and asked, "Xiao Yang, what do you say? Isn't this evidence sufficient?" "That's right, I did it. Boss Shen, you can go to the police. With so much strong evidence, it's enough to send me to court and jail. What are you waiting for?" Knowing that there was no need to hide anything anymore, I simply confronted him directly. I knew he would never go through the normal channels, so I deliberately used words to put him on hold.

Hou Yongzhong and I have a blood feud over the injury of my brother, and he's always looking to provoke the boss's hatred towards me. He immediately pointed at me and started yelling: "Boss, look at this kid's behavior! Damn, he deserves a beating!" Shen Dongcai ignored his subordinate's dissatisfaction, maintaining his calm demeanor. He said, "Xiao Yang, if I wanted to settle this openly, I wouldn't have waited until today. I know you're scared, but there's no need. Just answer two questions, and I'll let you leave safely immediately and never mention this again. What do you say?" "What two questions?" I knew he was about to get to the point and couldn't help but ask.

"Heh..." Seeing that I asked, Shen Dongcai thought his words had moved me, and his attitude became even more amiable: "First, you have to tell me where you hid my things. Second, tell me who ordered you to do this!" "Oh!" Only then did I realize that Shen Dongcai had always harbored this idea. He was confident in the vast difference in status and power between us, and didn't believe a mere youth like me would dare to plot against him. Therefore, he preferred to believe that there was someone behind me directing me, acting as my support. "

Don't hesitate! Look at your current situation! Even your master won't come to your rescue. He's already used you as a pawn!" Seeing my hesitation, he assumed I was considering my options, hesitant to betray the person behind the scenes, yet afraid that if I confessed, he wouldn't let it go. So, adopting a serious tone, he leaned closer and advised: "I can see that Dandan seems to have some feelings for you. Perhaps it's just a gradual development of affection. Actually, I don't object to you two getting together. Our daughter is grown up and should have her own life. As her father, I should respect her choice. I think Xiao Yang, you should understand that you can't stand against your elder, can you?" After hearing his earlier words, I had been considering whether I could use this to stall for time and find a better way to escape since Mr. Shen wanted to get these fabricated secrets from me. However, when he mentioned Shen Dan and me, I dismissed the idea. Shen Dan was about to study abroad and planned to settle in the United States. Therefore, Shen Dong brought up his daughter's feelings for me with only one purpose: to lower my guard, make me obediently reveal everything he wanted to know, and then eliminate me without hesitation. "

Feelings grow over time," I muttered to myself, then raised my pensive head, looking at the seemingly sincere middle-aged man in front of me with a half-smile, and coldly said: "Uncle Shen, let matters of the heart take their natural course. Besides, don't you think there are things more important than these?" My original intention was to tell him first: Don't try to seduce me with Shen Dan. I won't let her make a rash decision and ruin my life because of her. But Shen Dongcai seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that his daughter wasn't important enough to me, and that I wanted more practical benefits.

He clapped his hands lightly twice, smiling approvingly: "Hmm, not bad. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Women are like clothes; power and money are what men should care about!" He then beckoned to Uncle Da.

Uncle Da came over, took out a stack of documents from his pocket, and handed them to me. Shen Dongcai took them, held them in his hand, and waved them at me, continuing: "This is the share authorization letter for the Haofuli Nightclub on the eighth floor of my Emperor Building. Once you sign it, five percent of the shares in this nightclub will belong to you. Of course, from then on, you'll be mine, Shen Dongcai's person. What do you say?" "Boss Shen, you..." Hou Yongzhong was furious. He couldn't believe his brother had been nearly killed by this person, yet his boss was offering such a large gift to bribe him. If the other party agreed, he wouldn't be able to openly antagonize him anymore, and his brother's grudge would be over. How could he accept that? "

Shut up! You have no right to speak!" Shen Dongcai snapped, turning his head to glare coldly at him, making Hou Yongzhong swallow the rest of his words. "

I value talent, not to mention our future relationship. Do you know what five percent of Haofuli's shares means? That's equivalent to no less than seven million in dividends every year!" Shen Dongcai turned back, his old face immediately becoming very sincere. He pointed to the crowd with the documents in his hand and continued, "Among these people, only Tian Yu has received this honor. He has worked with me for nearly twenty years to earn such a high accolade." "Well, isn't it time to consider changing course?" As he spoke, he placed the document in front of me, and Uncle Da immediately took out a pen and respectfully handed it to me with both hands.

Seeing my hesitation, he patiently continued, "Don't hesitate any longer. I've shown you my utmost sincerity. As long as you wholeheartedly follow me, not only will I help you with your relationship with my daughter, but these shares will also be yours..." He then raised his head with a touch of melancholy, saying, "I'm so old, I haven't had many days of glory left. My only hope is that Dandan can find a man who treats her well and whom she truly loves. As long as she finds such a good home, I'll be content. In the future, when you've gained more experience and matured, I'll hand over all these businesses under my name to you to manage. Then I can retire peacefully and enjoy my old age!" Although the man before me seemed so sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy or affectation, I knew he had only one purpose: to lure me into giving in, to obediently hand over what he wanted, and to expose the non-existent mastermind behind it all.

If someone were truly plotting against me and Shen Dongcai, I would expose that person now, at least to ensure my safety for the short term. Of course, once Shen uses me to eliminate this nemesis, I would inevitably be discarded like a used tool after the hunt.

If that were the case, I would definitely sign that document and then deal with him slowly. But that's not the case; there's no such person. I lack experience in the underworld and know very little about the criminal activities in Tianjin; it's impossible for me to fabricate one on the spot.

Besides, that thin stack of documents in front of me doesn't feel like a significant benefit; instead, it feels like a contract of servitude. If I sign it, I'll become the dog of this ruthless man.

Dogs are patted on the head and given a leftover bone when their master needs them. When they don't, they might be kicked a couple of times to vent their anger, or even killed and eaten.

I will never be that kind of slave, not even in death!

Thinking this, I broke my previous silence, raised my head, and looked at the powerful underworld boss in front of me with a cold smile. After a long while, I finally said, "Uncle Shen, don't try to fob me off with these empty words and small favors. I'm not that stupid, you should know that, right?" "Damn it, you're really asking for it! I'll fucking kill you!" Hou Yongzhong, whether genuinely enraged by my rudeness towards his boss or looking for an opportunity to attack me, lunged at me again.

As he reached me, Shen Dongcai suddenly stretched out a large hand to block him, forcing Hou Yongzhong to stop and retreat. "

Looks like you're determined to oppose me!" The peaceful aura on Shen Dongcai's face vanished, replaced by a cold and vicious expression. He glared and said coldly, "Since that's the case, I'll make sure you die knowing why. I'd like you to meet someone!" He then shouted loudly behind the screen, "Baby, come out and meet our old friend!" With that call, the crisp sound of high heels came from inside.

"Is that Zhao Xinrui?" I suddenly smiled mysteriously and asked loudly. The sound of high heels behind the screen stopped abruptly after I finished speaking, pausing for two seconds before resuming, even more rapidly.

Sure enough, the woman who emerged from behind the screen was Zhao Xinrui.

Actually, ever since I realized I'd been exposed, one question had been lingering in my mind: who betrayed me?

The evidence Shen Dong presented to me was more than enough to prove I was the one secretly blackmailing him. But the key question was, even if he knew I was behind it all, how could he know so much about my two residences? Besides

me, only two other people knew about Hung Hom and Yuehua Residential Complex: Lu Lu and Liu Xueying. Lu Lu was my pet; she had broken into my Hung Hom apartment and spent over a month with me in Yuehua. Liu Xueying, on the other hand, had seen the Hung Hom address I had deliberately left for her, and I had lured her to Yuehua through Lu Lu and drugged and raped her.

Moreover, both girls had reasons to betray me. Liu Xueying was drugged and raped by me, losing her virginity and even her anus, suffering great physical and mental trauma, so her hatred for me was understandable. As for Lu Lu, although I was certain that her dependence on me far outweighed her hatred, and she wouldn't intentionally betray me, this girl was timid by nature. If she were caught by Shen Dongcai, she might reveal everything about me to protect herself.

Initially, when Hou Yongli brought a group of people to search my house, I noticed that they didn't seem to know the secret that my fourth and fifth floors were connected. My first reaction was that Liu Xueying had betrayed me. Because at that time, Liu Xueying also didn't know that besides the fifth floor where she found the disc she wanted, the haunting and the drugging and rape were all downstairs. Based on this situation, I was almost certain that she and Shen Dongcai were conspiring to kill me.

But later, when I got into Tian Yu's car and drove here, I had time to think carefully, and then I wasn't so sure anymore. Given Liu Xueying's personality, wanting me dead would be perfectly reasonable, but the thought of her being dishonored by Shen Dongcai was unimaginable. Firstly, in her mind, Shen Dongcai was undoubtedly even more despicable and shameless than me. Secondly, this man killed her poor sister; how could Liu Xueying possibly conspire with him? When

we arrived at the Emperor's Mansion, Hou Yongzhong revealed that Shen Dongcai was having an affair with a woman. At that moment, I was almost certain that this woman was not Liu Xueying. Her pure, aloof, and self-assured nature would never allow her to be so shameless as to have an affair with that man surnamed Shen. Even if she hated me so much that she forgot everything, she would never allow this man to humiliate her in such a place.

When I entered the room and heard that woman's scream, I was even more convinced that it was not Liu Xueying. Although the voice sounded accidental, it carried three parts allure, two parts affectation, and a few parts lewdness—definitely not from Liu Xueying's mouth.

Of course, I knew there was another, extremely slim possibility: that Liu Xueying's personality had drastically changed after I deflowered her, and that she was willing to sacrifice her virtue and shame to get revenge, even using this self-degradation to numb herself. Moreover, she didn't know that her sister had been killed by Shen Dongcai, which is why she was tricked into joining me against me.

But when Shen Dongcai loudly called for the girl to come out and see me, I immediately dismissed that thought. If this person was Liu Xueying, Shen would never dare to have her confront me, because then the news of his sister's murder would surely leak out from me.

At this point, I was certain that my residence had been discovered because of Lu Lu, but how could this explain why the fourth floor hadn't been discovered? I couldn't figure it out either. However, regardless, if Lu Lu was arrested and implicated me, then Zhao Xinrui would definitely be implicated.

This woman hated me, yet couldn't break free from my control, repeatedly raped and humiliated by me; she had a motive to betray me. Furthermore, she's a very ambitious woman, willing to make sacrifices she deems worthwhile. I saw this the first time I slept with her, so she needed to betray me to gain Shen Dongcai as her backer. Besides, only she was involved in this affair, only she had contact with Lu Lu, and therefore only she had the opportunity to betray me.

Combining this woman's personality and her preconditions, I'm certain she handed Lu Lu over to Shen Dongcai, and then naturally used her youthful body and seductive charm to get involved with that man. Therefore, based on Hou Yongzhong's description, I know without a doubt that the woman about to appear before me is Zhao Xinrui. "

How did you know it was me?" Zhao Xinrui asked as she walked towards me. I could see her expression change from smugness to surprise.

I nonchalantly curled my lip and sneered: "What about you that I don't know?" Shen Dongcai had been coldly watching me ever since I called out his new mistress's name. At this moment, he turned his head to look at the woman whose face was flushed with shame after I had spoken to her, then turned back to me with a slight twitch of his lips before regaining his composure and saying to Zhao Xinrui, "Come on, baby, sit down!" As he spoke, he patted his hairy thigh that was exposed outside his nightgown.

"Things are different now. Don't be arrogant in front of me anymore, hmph!" Zhao Xinrui said coldly to me with a frosty expression. Then she slowly sat on Shen Dongcai's lap, turned around and hugged the man's neck, and kissed his rough cheek with her small face, calling out in a greasy, coquettish voice: "Darling..." Shen Dongcai then unceremoniously pulled her into his arms, his lewd hand reaching under her snow-white sleeveless top from behind and stroking her incessantly, while he said in a lewd voice: "Little beauty, your skin is still so smooth and elastic..." "You're so naughty! You're so bad!" Zhao Xinrui deliberately flaunted her charms, partly to please the man who could give her wealth and luxury, and partly to show me. She actually pressed her upper body against the man, rubbing her full breasts against his chest.

I was already used to her flirtatious behavior, and seeing it now only made me feel more disgusted. I couldn't help but sneer: "Damn, you're really shameless. You change men more often than underwear. Now it's not your turn to suck the money I give you while you're doing me a favor and calling me 'daddy,' is it?" Then I turned to Shen Dongcai and said: "Uncle, you have everything, why can't you improve your taste? This slut has slept with countless men, and you're still interested in her? The Uncle Shen I knew was just a garbage can! Yang Ziyang, don't be so smug, this isn't a place for you to run wild!" Zhao Xinrui, like a smug little devil, hugged Shen Dongcai and kissed him hard on the face again, then said to me with smugness: "You used to think you had something on me, always bullying me and ordering me around, but now it's different. What goes around comes around!" She even gave me a flirtatious wink, saying coyly, "If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow a few times. For our past friendship, I might plead with Master Shen and spare your life!" I couldn't stand her arrogant and shameless behavior. I thought to myself, if I had to kowtow to a slut like you, I'd rather die.

Ever since I entered this room, I'd been assessing Shen Dongcai's attitude. First, he presented me with a series of irrefutable evidence, trying to force me to submit. Then he feigned intimacy, using Shen Dan as leverage to try and influence me, even offering me huge sums of money to buy me off. In the end, he even envisioned a bright future for me.

All of this indicated that I still had value to him, and he wanted to get rid of me without bloodshed. If I went along with his wishes and played along, I might not face annihilation in the short term—at least that was my hope at the time. Although the contract, which resembled a servitude agreement, filled me with indignation, I held back, unable to bring myself to completely sever ties with Shen Dongcai.

The reason I'd been so patient was because the situation was dire for me. Frankly, for someone like me, living an ordinary life, it was a miracle I hadn't wet myself in the face of this, let alone dared to fight back!

But then Zhao Xinrui appeared, and her attitude ignited a nameless rage within me. For some reason, this woman's arrogant demeanor, haughty tone, and willingness to stoop so low as to oppose me fueled my uncontrollable fury. I knew this wasn't because of Zhao Xinrui herself, but because of the profound damage to my self-esteem caused by being mocked.

For a long time, I'd lived in a world of loneliness, and to alleviate this loneliness, I'd even resorted to despicable means to bully innocent girls. I've always considered myself a wise man capable of creating miracles and turning the impossible into the possible. I've always considered setting traps and capturing prisoners my glory. Perhaps I was just using this method to prove my worth, to prove I'm smarter and more capable than others.

But now I'm a prisoner, and even someone like Zhao Xinrui dares to ride roughshod over me. This is truly intolerable. Thinking of this, I coldly snorted: "You slut, don't talk to me about friendship. We only have friendship, not friendship." Turning to the man in front of me, who was deliberately leering and caressing Zhao Xinrui, I sneered: "Boss Shen, we both know what kind of people we are. Ever since I made that anonymous call to you, I never intended to be on your side. Forget about it!" As I spoke, I stared intently at him, took the document, and slowly tore it to shreds, line by line, before throwing it in Zhao Xinrui's face.

This action completely surprised everyone present. Even Tian Yu, who had been expressionless and relaxed as if watching a show, dropped his usual nonchalant smile and narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing me from head to toe. "

You…" In Zhao Xinrui's eyes, I had always been a bully. She never dreamed that I would dare to turn against someone like Shen Dongcai. She abruptly stood up from the man, stunned for a moment, before shaking Shen Dongcai's arm and saying in a coquettish voice, "Master Shen, look how arrogant he is! Master Shen, you have to avenge me! Boss, let me take care of this little bastard! Nobody dares to cause trouble on our turf!" Hou Yongzhong had learned his lesson this time and didn't dare to approach me rashly, but instead consulted his master first. "

Hmph, no rush. I always leave some room for the other party!" Shen Dongcai ignored his advice and turned to Zhao Xinrui, beckoning her and saying, "Hey Ruirui, didn't you prepare a gift for our little brother Jesus? Why don't you hurry up and present it to him?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinrui's face, which had been flushed with shame and indignation, brightened instantly. She sat back in Shen Dongcai's lap, looking at me with a half-smile, and said, "Yang Ziyang, don't be so smug. You'll be crying later..." She then pulled out a cell phone, dialed a number, and said, "Hello, this is Zhao Xinrui. How's that little bitch doing now... Oh... Hehe, you guys are pretty good at messing with people... Wake her up, I want to talk to her!" After a while, a long, mournful cry came from the other end of the line. The voice clearly belonged to a young girl, and she must have been in great pain. Zhao Xinrui showed no sympathy upon hearing the piercing scream; instead, a hint of excitement flickered across her alluring face. She sneered, "You're quite the stoic, much stronger than I expected. Come, talk to your all-powerful master; he's right here beside me!" She handed me the phone. "

Master…Master, save me! Waaah…They're not human! They only know how to torture me…Waaah, please, Master!" I took the phone, and immediately a girl's cry came from the other end.

I recognized the voice instantly. She was the tool I used to capture Liu Xueying; she had been forced into being my sex slave; she had gained my trust with her naivety and submissiveness; she had moved me with her tragic past; she had helped me defraud Shen Dongcai; we had made love passionately in the Yuehua residential area for a long time; she was the first woman truly mine in my life; her name was Lu Lu.

Although from the moment I confirmed that the woman beside Shen Dongcai was Zhao Xinrui, I knew that Lu Lu had definitely been deceived by Zhao Xinrui and was now most likely in Shen Dongcai's hands, guessing and hearing it with my own ears were two completely different feelings. When that pitiful cry reached my ears, my heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Lu Lu, where are you now? What...what did they do to you? My hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably, and my tone became hurried.

Master, I...I don't know, it was that shameless woman Zhao Xinrui who took our money and betrayed us, she...she lied to me, sob sob sob...Master, how did you...how did you end up with her? I didn't say...I didn't reveal your family's secret! Are you...are you alright? Did they not make things difficult for you? Lu Lu seemed to have been restrained for a long time, and as soon as her mouth was released, she immediately began to sob and cry incessantly.

Just as I expected, Lu Lu couldn't possibly betray me. The only explanation is that she was deceived by Zhao Xinrui. This also explains why she didn't know I actually lived on the fourth floor.

"Hmph..." Zhao Xinrui's sinister voice rang out: "I never thought that the domineering and shameless Yang Ziyang in my mind had such a sentimental side. You're really deeply in love with this little bitch! Little Yang, don't worry, as long as you obediently answer those two questions I just asked, I can guarantee this girl's safety. I can also give you a sum of money so you two won't have to worry for the rest of your lives, living a carefree life as a loving couple. How about it?" Shen Dongcai said with a smug smile.

Only then did I notice that the man surnamed Shen and Zhao Xinrui were looking at me with the same gaze—a look of smugness, satisfaction, and even condescension. I knew they had seen through me and had now grasped my weakness, expecting me to submit as they anticipated.

No, if I yielded now, not only would Lu Lu not be able to leave this place alive, but I wouldn't be able to either. Lu Lu, I can't save you this time. Your master is useless; he's a clay idol swaying in the middle of the river, barely able to save himself, let alone care for you! Lu Lu, don't blame me. If there's an afterlife, I'll definitely call you master and be your slave, at your beck and call! Forgive me!

Thinking this, I suddenly regained my composure, the tension on my face vanishing completely. *Click* My thumb pressed the hang-up button, then, with my eyes fixed on Shen Dongcai and Zhao Xinrui, I threw the phone into the trash can behind the gate without hesitation.

"You…" Zhao Xinrui never expected me to be so ruthless and decisive. She glared at me, then stood up and picked up her phone after a moment.

Shen Dongcai's expression also changed, his facial muscles twitching a few times as he said, "Our guest seems to dislike the gift you prepared for him. In that case, the little girl is useless. Let her disappear!" He was clearly speaking to Zhao Xinrui, but his eyes remained fixed on me, whether hoping I would eventually be unable to bear abandoning Lu Lu, or observing whether my ruthlessness was feigned. "

Women are like clothes," you just said, Mr. Shen. Trying to blackmail me with a girl I've already had my fill? That's not like someone of your status! I spoke toughly, but my heart was bleeding. I still held onto a sliver of hope that Shen Dongcai would be moved by my provocation and temporarily stop making things difficult for my poor little girl.

But the other party's cold laugh completely dispelled that idea. His laugh was so ruthless and heartless, as if the word "pity" simply didn't exist in his dictionary. "

Listen up, Mr. Shen said that girl is useless now. Do whatever you want with her!" Zhao Xinrui said into the phone amidst the man's chilling laughter. "

Come on, don't hang up, I have something else to say!" Shen Dongcai beckoned to Zhao Xinrui, making her sit back in his lap, and took the phone, saying, "Be careful not to play for too long, one night is enough, lest something unexpected happens. The main thing to remember is, don't leave any survivors, understand?" After saying that, he kissed the girl on the cheek, hung up the phone, and tossed it to her.

Zhao Xinrui had initially been all sweet and accommodating, but when she heard the words "don't leave any survivors," her face froze. But the man's thick lips followed with another kiss, and she quickly put on a fawning smile, but her expression was somewhat mechanical.

Actually, it wasn't just her; when Shen Dongcai issued the order to kill Lu Lu, this delicate young woman, my heart trembled violently as well. Fortunately, unlike Zhao Xinrui, I wasn't lacking in composure. Although every muscle in my right leg, which was on the ground, tensed instantly, my internal organs seemed to stop functioning, and even my breathing abruptly ceased, I didn't show the slightest shock or fear on my face.

Because I knew Shen Dongcai was watching me, trying to find my weakness. If he saw my inner fear, I was finished. In another sense, his actions were also a show of force; making an example of someone is a common tactic used by those in power.

Sure enough, seeing my continued calm, Shen Dongcai realized his actions wouldn't affect me at all. He gave a disappointed snort and slightly turned his head, saying, "Yongzhong, our guests seem to dislike drinking toasts. What do you suggest we do?" Hou Yongzhong had been eager to try his luck. Hearing his boss's words, he grinned maliciously and replied, "Don't worry, I have plenty of penalty drinks. If I can't get him drunk, I guarantee this bastard will regret being born!" He then walked towards me.

Wait, wait… Although the pain was imminent, I maintained a nonchalant expression and chuckled, "Master Shen, you're so generous, giving me three generous gifts. As a junior, I'm truly flattered. As the saying goes, 'It's impolite not to reciprocate,' so if I don't offer you a decent gift in return, wouldn't that be impolite?" "What? What did you say?" Shen Dongcai reached out and stopped Hou Yongzhong, who had already reached him. He looked at me incredulously, then chuckled, "Kid, you said you brought me a gift? What is it? Let me see?" He looked at his men standing around him with questioning eyes.

Hou Yongzhong snorted and replied, "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. I searched this kid carefully before he came in. He has nothing on him now, so don't worry!" Hearing this, Shen Dongcai nodded slightly. "

Haha, with your intelligence, some things are hard to understand!" I said with a cryptic sneer to Hou Yongzhong before turning to Shen Dongcai and saying, "Master Shen, you were just planning to give me my woman as a gift. Great minds think alike!" "What do you mean?" Shen Dongcai's smile vanished. This old fox, having weathered so many years in the underworld, naturally understood my unspoken meaning: "You... You guessed right! Ah, nothing can be hidden from Master Shen! Impressive!" Seeing his tension, I slowed down, deliberately refraining from further explanation, waiting for him to ask.

Sure enough, he had lost patience with confirming his ominous premonition and coldly asked, "Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'great minds think alike'? Where are you and I on the same page?" Well… I kept shaking the toes of my raised left foot, watching his expression shift several times before slowly saying, “Mr. Shen, you’ve captured my woman. What a coincidence, I also have someone helping you take care of one of yours. The difference is, I can discard my woman when I’m tired of her…” I gestured slightly to Zhao Xinrui before continuing, “But this person in my hands is different for you, Mr. Shen. I’m afraid you won’t be willing to throw her away, hehe!” My person? You mean… Dandan? You’ve captured my daughter, Shen Dan? Shen Dongcai, no longer in the mood for flirting with Zhao Xinrui, grabbed her and pulled her aside, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

His eyes darted around, and his breathing became uneven, but he was, after all, a seasoned veteran of the underworld, his composure was unwavering. In less than two seconds, he regained his composure and said with a cold laugh, “Hmph, impossible, impossible, you’re trying to fool me, aren’t you?” "Dandan isn't even in Tianjin right now, she..." Shen Dongcai's words were cut off by me: "Shen Dan is in Yunnan now, right? You're still waiting for her to bring you coconuts and bananas from Xishuangbanna? Don't wait anymore, she's not coming back. My condolences!" From the few words Shen Dongcai used to seduce me about Shen Dan, I realized that this father only had a vague feeling about his daughter and me, otherwise he wouldn't have encouraged me to pursue Shen Dan. Since that's the case, he shouldn't know that Shen Dan told me her itinerary and that we'd exchanged several text messages. Although that's a possibility, putting myself in his shoes, Shen Dongcai wouldn't be so optimistic as to consider that possibility after hearing my words.

Sure enough, after hearing my words, the muscles in his face twitched uncontrollably, his eyes glared at me as if spitting fire, and his large hand on the table clenched into a fist and trembled incessantly. "

Uncle Da, call Dandan, quick!" Shen Dongcai's eyes never left me as

he spoke, panting heavily. The nearly sixty-year-old man, still full of energy, quickly agreed, ran to the bar counter in front of the screen, grabbed a phone, and dialed, but no one spoke. After a long while, the man rushed to Shen Dongcai, his face filled with anxiety, and said: "Master Shen, Miss...she's turned off her phone!" Only now did my heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settle down. I secretly felt lucky, and even more grateful that my plan had finally succeeded.

A little over an hour earlier, when I ran out of my residence and down to the first floor of the building next door, seeing Tian Yu and his men blocking my way, I knew I couldn't escape this neighborhood. In my desperation, I came up with a plan.

I switched to the anonymous SM card, silenced my phone, set the caller ID to vibrate, and put it in my left pocket. From that moment on, my left hand never left my pocket, constantly dialing Shen Dan's number. Every time the call connected and vibrated, I immediately hung up, then dialed again, hung up again, and so on. Each time I hung up, I pressed the call button at least three times to avoid any misoperation due to incoming calls.

After that, until Hou Yongzhong searched me and took my phone outside Shen Dongcai's office, except for the brief few minutes when my hands were tied, I spent almost an hour constantly harassing her with numbers Shen Dan didn't recognize. Back then, phones didn't have a "do not disturb" function, so the only way for Shen Dan to avoid being harassed was to turn off her phone.

Of course, I couldn't be sure of any of this. Maybe the pretty girl was having too much fun and didn't even check her phone during that time, maybe she endured the annoyance of being harassed, or maybe she had some important call waiting for her and ultimately didn't turn it off. I had considered these possibilities, but I had no other choice but to hope that Shen Dan would act as I expected.

Thankfully, she really did turn off her phone; my opportunistic scheme had finally succeeded, and a huge weight was lifted from my heart. "

Keep fighting!" Shen Dongcai ordered without turning his head, his eyes fixed on me, breathing heavily.

The sudden event left him momentarily at a loss. He had known for a long time that I was responsible, but he couldn't find me, and he couldn't understand why a thief would be involved. It wasn't until Lu Lu was captured again by Zhang Yifei, and I was caught by Zhao Xinrui while plotting to rescue her—this bitch used this to blackmail me for a large sum of money and then sexually assaulted me all night—that Zhao Xinrui extracted the whole story from Lu Lu and found Shen Dongcai. Only then did he understand what had happened and learn my address.

Liu Yuying could be eliminated; once he caught me, he would be safe. He believed all of this was done in secret, but unexpectedly, I had prepared in advance, as if I knew he would discover it. How could this not be utterly perplexing for the man?

Seeing his furious yet hesitant expression, I felt even more relieved. In my interactions with the Shen father and daughter, although I had always felt that Shen Dongcai had a hidden side, one thing I could deeply sense was the man's love for his daughter, which could even be described as spoiling.

In this situation, the only thing that could threaten this underworld boss was probably the safety of his precious daughter. If this man would disregard his own daughter to obtain something important from me, then it would prove that I was blind to human nature, and I would have no regrets even if I died. Fortunately, that wasn't the case; my deduction was correct. "

What do you want?" Shen Dongcai finally spoke, these five words almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Heh... Now it's my turn to take the initiative. I became even calmer, and after a long pause, I said, 'Master Shen, you asked me to answer two questions earlier, so now I have two conditions.' 'Speak!' Shen Dongcai slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth.

I coldly looked at the bewildered Zhao Xinrui beside me, pointed at her, and said, 'Tell that bitch to kneel down and lick my toes, and while you're at it, call your men to release Lu Lu... Yang Ziyang, don't even think about it!' Zhao Xinrui immediately shouted angrily upon hearing this.

At the same time, Hou Yongzhong also shouted loudly, 'Hey Yang, don't go too far, believe me or not, I'll chop you up!' I didn't speak, just smiled at Shen Dongcai. I knew that the more arrogant I was, the less he would dare to do anything to me.

As expected, Shen Dongcai turned around and winked at Zhao Xinrui, meaning she should do as I said. But how could the girl be willing to do such a despicable thing in front of so many people, to the man she had just bossed around? '

Don't you know I'm calling you over?'" Seeing her looking at herself and then at the man opposite her with his legs crossed, hesitant and unwilling to move forward, Shen Dongcai grabbed the girl's shirt hem and threw her in front of me.

"Ah!" Zhao Xinrui cried out and fell to the ground, her flushed face resting at my feet. "

Oh! Isn't this our gentle, virtuous, kind, and devoted little beauty, Miss Zhao? Why aren't you yelling anymore? Didn't someone back you up?" I used my fingers to lift her drooping face, removing her left shoe, and said, "Come on, beautiful, this isn't the first time you've licked my feet, you should be quite skilled, right?" Zhao Xinrui shook her head, freeing herself from my grasp, and turned to Shen Dongcai with pleading eyes. But he commanded in an extremely cold tone: "Do as he says!" The girl shook her head, her face full of grievance, hoping the man would pity her or show some compassion for what she had done for him.

I wiggled my foot, gesturing to Zhao Xinrui with my twisting toes, and said contemptuously, "Hurry up, Xinrui, you're not exactly a demure lady, so don't be shy!" Zhao Xinrui looked at her new protector with pleading eyes, but the promises this man had made to her hadn't even been fulfilled yet, and now he had ruthlessly abandoned her: "Are you deaf? Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Shen Dongcai's cold and stern tone made the girl utterly despair.

Zhao Xinrui knew that she was destined to be a victim of men today. Regretfully and helplessly, she turned her head back, glaring at me angrily for a long time before slowly opening her small mouth and taking one of my toes into her mouth. "

That's right, good! Our little Xinrui's mouth is so useful. What did you just say about things being different now? I see no difference from when you were being played with by me before. You still get to do whatever I want." Looking at this shameless woman who willingly humiliated herself just to get revenge on me, her pitiful little face and eyes brimming with tears, yet she was forced to suck my big toe with her own lips, I felt a surge of humiliating pleasure, and even my lower body became aroused.

Zhao Xinrui didn't say a word, closing her eyes as if I didn't exist. Perhaps only in this way could she find some solace from the humiliation before her. "

Alright, I'm tired of playing with your stinking tongue!" I gently pulled Zhao Xinrui's hair, signaling her to stop sucking my toe, and commanded: "Call your people, release my little sex slave!" Zhao Xinrui couldn't wait for this humiliating act to end, and immediately knelt up. She knew that Shen Dongcai clearly wouldn't dare disobey me now, and without asking permission, she took out her phone and dialed.

Actually, forcing Zhao Xinrui to lick my toe was just to vent my anger; the main thing was to get her to release Lu Lu. To my disappointment, Zhao Xinrui waited for a long time but didn't say anything to the other end. Instead, she took the phone away from her ear, looked up at me with a wronged and surprised expression, and said, "Yeah... no one's answering!" "Go to hell, call again!" I kicked her to the ground and cursed.

Shen Dongcai had calmed down a bit by now, his breathing even, and said calmly, "Xiao Yang, maybe my men... um... didn't hear it!" He then turned to the girl on the ground and angrily said, "Keep calling, don't stop!" I naturally understood his implication. Why didn't his men hear it? They must be busy torturing Lu Lu. I couldn't imagine what those beasts were capable of, but one thing was certain: Lu Lu was probably in grave danger this time.

Uncle Da and Zhao Xinrui kept making calls, but one didn't answer and the other's phone was always off. I was afraid that things might get complicated if I delayed, and after all, Lu Lu's comfort was more important than my own. So, after a long silence, I said, "Master Shen, you owe me this first thing, but it's best if nothing happens to Lu Lu, otherwise..." The implication was that we both had each other's hostages, and if Lu Lu got into trouble, I would naturally retaliate in kind.

Shen Dongcai's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't be too smug. How could my precious daughter be compared to that little brat? Remember this, you'd better not lay a finger on my daughter, or I'll make you wish you were dead. You know I have that power!" He was practically gritting his teeth by the end. He quickly recovered from his anger and calmly asked, "Alright, tell me your second matter!" "The second thing..." I glanced around at everyone and smiled contemptuously, "I'm leaving this place now. Don't look for me again. I can pretend nothing happened before, otherwise, if I could arrest your daughter once, I could arrest her again!" As I spoke, I straightened my shirt, put on my shoe, and stood up.

Shen Dongcai sneered, probably thinking that Shen Dan would soon be going abroad, and he didn't believe I would try to take advantage of his daughter in America. But little did he know, I knew Shen Dan's whereabouts very well. I was just trying to lower his guard. As soon as I stepped out of that door, I would disappear without a trace, and Shen Dongcai, you'd never see me again.

Just then, Tian Yu walked behind Shen Dongcai, one hand on the table, and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Mr. Shen, don't rush to let him go. I think there's something fishy going on. Brother Yang might not have kidnapped your daughter; he was just playing a joke on us!" Although his words were directed at Shen Dongcai, his narrowed eyes remained fixed on me, and his face maintained that unsettling smile.

This was someone I deeply feared; I had been watching his every move since I entered this room. Initially, when Shen Dongcai tried to coerce and bribe me, Tian Yu remained silent, his face revealing nothing of his thoughts. Only after I tore up the share authorization document did he narrow his eyes and glance at me. I knew my decisive action had changed his mind; perhaps he was now looking at me with new respect, or perhaps he had become more wary—in any case, his mind was racing.

When I revealed my trump card, falsely claiming that Shen Dan had been kidnapped by my men, Tian Yu's brow furrowed. Uncle Da's phone call confirmed that Shen Dan might indeed be missing. At that moment, Tian Yu narrowed his eyes, his eyeballs darting around.

Perhaps he had already suspected this might be a ruse I had orchestrated, but when I demanded Zhao Xinrui's submission and even the release of Lu Lu, he remained silent, proving his indifference to such matters.

Now that he was making things difficult, I knew he was already fairly certain I was bluffing. His constant eye contact further convinced me he was observing my reaction when the trick was exposed, to confirm his suspicions. If I showed even a fleeting look of bewilderment, shock, or fear, he would catch it and confirm his guess.

Shen Dongcai's thoughts also began to race following Tian Yu's reminder. He slightly raised his head, looking down at me, a gesture that showed he shared Tian Yu's thoughts—observing my reaction.

Heh, you're right, this was indeed a joke I played! Having seen through all this, I made the boldest decision I've ever made: I'd emulate Zhuge Liang's strategy of setting fire to Huarong Road, luring that cunning old fox, Shen Dongcai, into a trap. "Let me tell you the truth," I said, "I just kept calling Shen Dan on my phone until she couldn't take it anymore and forced her to turn it off. Maybe she'll turn it back on soon..." I leaned forward, almost face-to-face with them, and asked, "Shen Dongcai, Tian Yu, do you believe me?" Instantly, our eyes met, six pairs of eyes seemingly shooting out intense currents, clashing fiercely in the air, less than half a meter apart.

Staring at my fearless gaze, confident expression, and intriguing smile for a long time, this seasoned underworld boss finally withdrew his almost certain look, lowered his head, and began to ponder. Tian Yu, too, dropped his relaxed smile, straightened up, and looked at me coldly without saying a word.

"Alright, sigh..." I stretched, dusted off my trousers, and looked at Shen Dongcai with disdain, saying, "Uncle Shen, my good uncle, if you have nothing else, I'll be going now." "You think you can just leave like that? Not so easy!" Suddenly, Hou Yongzhong had a knife in his hand. Hearing I was leaving, he ignored his boss and lunged at me.

With a muffled thud, Hou Yongzhong's massive body buckled just before reaching me, and he knelt on one knee. His hand holding the dagger slammed down onto the table, the gleaming blade embedded between my left middle and ring fingers. "

You bastard, you won't learn your lesson unless I beat you! Did I tell you to run off and bite someone?" The man knelt, revealing Shen Dongcai's furious face, one hand still raised in mid-air.

Only then did I notice that the ashtray that had been in front of him had rolled to my feet. It must have been that the man surnamed Shen, seeing his subordinate repeatedly disobey his orders, and having nowhere to vent his anger, grabbed the ashtray and smashed it against Hou Yongzhong's knee. "

Oh dear, it seems you still need more training in being a 'dog relying on its master's power. A dog should at least act according to its master's wishes, not act like this, taking matters into your own hands." I said, slowly withdrawing my hand from the blade, bending down to pick up the ashtray and place it on the table. I then pulled cigarettes and a lighter from the man's jacket pocket, who was still standing there dumbfounded, muttering as I examined him: "Zhongnanhai, why are you smoking Zhongnanhai?" But I couldn't resist taking one

and lighting it. Everyone was surprised by my composure, even with the blade at my throat, without any intention of dodging. The usually stern faces of the thug-like bodyguards in suits all showed astonishment, and even the usually calm Tian Yu gave me a look of surprise. Little did they know, facing Hou Yongzhong's attack, it wasn't that I didn't want to dodge, but that I didn't have time. To quote a famous saying, it couldn't be more apt: "Swift as lightning, faster than covering

one's ears." It wasn't that I didn't want to cover my ears, but that I didn't have time! "Yang Ziyang, you fucking push me!" Shen Dongcai, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly stood up and pulled a dark object from the waistband of one of his men in a suit

, pointing it at my head. I stared intently and saw that it was a handgun, looking very much like the kind policemen carry in TV dramas. This terrified me. I had heard Lu Lu mention before that Shen Dongcai carried a gun in his bag when he went to the appointment, but at the time I was hesitant, wondering if Lu Lu was mistaken. But now this thing was right in front of me, the dark muzzle less than a meter from my forehead. It was an unimaginable sense of oppression; the black hole in the barrel was so bottomless, and what I saw inside was—death. "

Release my daughter, or I'll shoot you!" Shen Dongcai approached, gun at the ready, until the muzzle was pressed against my forehead.

The instant that cold object touched my forehead, I felt as if my internal organs were churning, my mind went blank, as if my brain had frozen. A wave of nausea and dizziness washed over me, my ears rang uncontrollably, and my vision blurred, as if a layer of frost had formed on my retina. "

Did you hear me? I'm giving you one last chance. I'm not joking. I'll count to three, and you call your accomplices to release my daughter!" Shen Dongcai pressed the gun forcefully against my head, tilting it to one side, then turned to face me coldly and said.

Hou Yongzhong was also surprised by his boss's actions, seemingly having never seen him so agitated. He unconsciously stepped aside and took my phone from his person, placing it beside me.

"One…" Shen Dongcai coldly counted.

I hadn't even reacted yet; my ears were ringing, my mind was a complete blank, and I stared blankly ahead, unable to see anything.

Two… Shen Dongcai, probably unaware of my current state of mind, continued counting down menacingly.

He had now moved to my side and behind, the gun now pressed against the back of my head, revealing what had been hidden by his body. I could vaguely see Tian Yu smiling and looking down at me with a condescending gaze.

Why was Tian Yu looking at me like that, with such a mysterious and inscrutable smile? I suddenly realized he was scrutinizing me, assessing whether I was afraid in front of a gun, whether I would break down. I knew it; the more this was the case, the more composed, even arrogant, I had to appear. Only then could I convince everyone in the room of my fabricated lie.

But I was truly terrified; my legs were trembling!

No, I couldn't be afraid, at least not let anyone see it. Shen Dongcai must be testing me; he wanted to confirm the truth of my story about me holding his daughter hostage. No one would kill a kidnapper before the hostage was rescued, and the kidnapper wouldn't worry about that either.

Still, no. Even knowing all this, how could I remain calm and composed in front of a gun? Who could?

It happens in TV shows and movies; people there can do it.

But I'm not. I'm neither a hero nor a madman; how could I not be afraid?

I had to pretend I was in a movie, that this wasn't a real event, but a film shoot, and I was just an actor. So, what should I say to the camera?

"You won't shoot, you don't have the guts. Besides, someone like you wouldn't need a gun to kill me, your hands wouldn't even need to get blood on them!" I recited this line almost like a script, even taking a puff of my cigarette.

Three! Shen Dongcai ignored me. Then I felt the pressure on the back of my head ease, followed by a deafening bang behind me.

A huge thud, it almost ruptured my eardrums. But I had no time to pay attention. A voice echoed in my head: I'm done for, Shen Dongcai killed me, my life is over! I didn't even feel the burning pain of the cigarette slipping from my hand.

Hehehehe, hum hum hum, hahaha! Shen Dongcai laughed, from mockery to cold laughter to maniacal laughter, his laughter so smug, so arrogant.

This laughter, growing stronger with each passing moment, jolted me from my terror of death. Only then did I realize that I felt no pain at all. The only pain I felt was in my palm, but how could the burning of the cigarette butt compare to a blown-out head? Besides, the falling dust clearly told me that Shen Dongcai's shot had been aimed at the ceiling.

I opened my blurry eyes and saw Tian Yu smiling at me with his arms crossed. I knew my plan had finally been exposed. Faced with death, I had nowhere to hide; my cowardice was laid bare, allowing Shen Dongcai and Tian Yu's test to succeed.

I…I'm finished!

No! A voice like a thunderclap resounded from the depths of my heart.

I still have a chance, I can do this…yes, there's still a chance to salvage the situation!

Damn it… I suddenly shoved the cigarette butt to the ground, turned around, and shouted angrily: "You motherfucker, you scared me to death!" Shen Dongcai was stunned by my curse. The almost distorted smile on his face vanished abruptly, his expression frozen, staring blankly at me.

My heart pounded, but I kept muttering curses under my breath: "Can you at least not make such a racket when you fire? Shouldn't this gun have... yeah, shouldn't it have a silencer or something? Please, put it on! Look how scared I am! Damn! You've got guts, huh? Pretty cool..." Shen Dong was stunned for a moment before finally sitting back down in his seat, gun in hand. He tried to catch his breath, his breathing still uneven, and after a long pause, he said coldly: "Looks like you really have Dandan locked up. Is she... is she alright now?" I looked at the man's expression and then at the pistol hanging from his index finger. He was only using one finger on the trigger, the muzzle raised high, the stock no longer in his hand, drooping under its weight like a defeated rooster. "

Very good, at least much better than my Lu Lu!" I leaned back in the swivel chair to hide my already soaked back, and spoke in a calm voice: "As long as I get out of here safely, I guarantee your daughter won't be harmed!" "Okay, you can leave now..." Shen Dongcai nodded weakly, then a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and a vicious look returned to his face. He said in a sinister tone: "But remember this, if I don't hear from Dandan within half an hour of you leaving, I will use all my resources, even digging three feet into the ground, to find you. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!" "Hmph!" I sneered contemptuously, put down my left leg that had been crossed, and stood up to leave.

Unexpectedly, because I had been so focused on the psychological battle with my opponent, my left leg had been numb from being crossed for so long. With this step, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and I fell forward. "

Hmm!" Fortunately, Hou Yongzhong saw me about to leave and, with a muffled groan, rushed in front of me to block my path. I casually draped my right arm over his shoulder, feigning indifference to his aggressive threat while secretly flexing my left leg to regain feeling.

Hou Yongzhong knew they couldn't stop me any longer, but his unwillingness still drove him to confront me. However, because his boss was present and he had just suffered a loss for overstepping his bounds, he didn't dare to point a finger at me, only glaring at me with his wide, angry eyes. "

Let him go!" Shen Dongcai said softly, his gaze lowered.

"Boss, I..." Hou Yongzhong clenched his fists tightly, every muscle in his body tense, yet he still dared not act rashly. "

Didn't you hear me say he should go? I'm in a bad mood today, don't force me to repeat myself!" Shen Dongcai turned his head, glancing upwards at Hou Yongzhong, and growled angrily in a low voice.

Alright, you'd better learn to follow your master around like a lapdog! By now, my left leg was mostly warmed up, though it still felt sore and numb, but it didn't really hinder normal movement.

I slowly lowered my right arm from his shoulder, using my right hand to support his shoulder instead. With my left hand, I grabbed his cigarettes and lighter from the table and put them back in his shirt pocket, saying, "Don't smoke Zhongnanhai anymore, it's bad for men..." As I spoke, I casually stuffed my phone into my pocket, then slapped his face hard with my right hand, continuing, "...Kill, sperm, ah!" I slapped him every time I spoke.

The burly, unlucky fellow's teeth chattered clearly, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets with rage, but after the boss's repeated scoldings, he didn't dare to react at all, just standing there motionless as I slapped him three times.

I pushed him hard on the shoulder, making him turn slightly to the side, then walked forward without even looking at him.

Tian Yu had already turned away, even twisting his face as if he didn't want me to see his expression. I didn't bother him and continued walking.

Reaching the door, I found Zhao Xinrui, the woman I'd just humiliated, standing there, her face flushed with shame and anger. I couldn't resist pinching her cheek hard, sneering, "You little slut, if your master ever gets tired of you, you can come to me. I won't look down on you, because you still owe me a favor!" Ignoring her embarrassed expression, I pushed open the door and strode away.

Leaving the office, I didn't close the door, strolling leisurely forward while listening to the sounds coming from inside.

Ah— After my figure disappeared through the doorway, Shen Dong let out a wild shout, followed by the crashing of things and the toppling of chairs and tables. I imagined that in his rage, he would throw all the items he had placed on the table onto the floor, and even overturn the desk and chair in his rage.

Hmph! I gave a soft, cold laugh, put my hands in my pockets, and strolled along leisurely, but at that moment, I felt a strange mix of emotions.

Although I secretly devised a scheme to get away with it, this mental battle with Shen Dongcai and his gang of underworld bosses did leave me hesitant, confused, impulsive, and fearful. However, I overcame these psychological barriers one by one and ultimately won the battle.

Now, in my relief at escaping danger, I felt something strange coursing through my body, like internal energy in martial arts novels, constantly coursing through my limbs. I knew it was a power, a power I had never felt before. Perhaps I inherently possessed this magical power, but I hadn't noticed it before. Regardless, I clearly realized that from this moment on, I—Yang Ziyang—was no longer the same!
