"Can pay, can pay, tomorrow...no no no...today, I'll have accounting arrange it..."

As he said these words, beads of sweat the size of soybeans streamed down Min Chao's face.

To this answer,

Jiang Chuo was quite satisfied.

He nodded and said, "All right, I'll wait for your good news. You better hurry to the hospital, or it'll be too late for treatment."

Like being granted an amnesty,

Min Chao nodded and bowed hurriedly before rushing off.

As soon as he left,

Liu Hongfa let out a long sigh of relief.

He quickly raised his glass to Jiang Chuo and said, "Secretary Jiang, you are like my parents reborn. Thank you, thank you so much..."

Just about to down his drink,

Jiang Chuo held his hand and said, "No need to thank me, but I must say, Mr. Liu, your close female friend is quite beautiful..."

Liu Hongfa was stunned.

He shuddered all over.

Seeming to understand something,

he turned to the woman and said, "Yuanyuan, you accompany the leader well, I'll step out for a bit."

After saying that,

he put down the glass and prepared to leave.

The woman named Yuanyuan appeared somewhat frantic.

She also wanted to leave.

But Jiang Chuo grabbed her hand.

He then swept his other hand across the table,

and all the food and dishes shattered on the floor with a cacophony of crashes.

He pressed the woman's neck down onto the table with one hand,

and with the other, he forcibly pulled down her trousers.

The woman's bare buttocks were now shaking in front of him.

Jiang Chuo showed not a hint of emotion.

He unbuckled his belt, letting his trousers fall as he pleased,

and aimed properly before forcefully thrusting in, with incredibly violent motions.

The woman's face went from panic to pain, and she dared not move, letting Jiang Chuo behind her ravage at will.

After a bout of brutalization,

Jiang Chuo finished his final release,

contentedly pulling up his trousers.

The woman lay collapsed on the floor, half-naked, with a vacant look in her eyes, softly sobbing.

Walking out of the private room, Zhang Bangqi nodded at Liu Hongfa, who was waiting outside. Only then did Liu Hongfa rush into the private room. Seeing his own woman humiliated in this manner, he could only swallow down his broken teeth with a grimace.

After getting in the car,

Zhang Bangqi said to Jiang Chuo, "Leader, I've already spread the word about Chen Fang through underworld connections. It won't be long before Zhang Cheng gets the news."

Jiang Chuo nodded, leaning back in the car seat with great satisfaction.

He sighed a breath of relief and said contentedly, "The show is about to begin..."

...

The next morning,

Chen Fang woke up groggy in the hotel room.

As soon as he opened his eyes,

he saw, in a blur, two identical faces.

Could he be seeing double?

He rubbed his eyes hard.

Suddenly, he sat up.

Shielding his naked body with the bedsheet, he asked, "How did you get in?"

At the head of the bed were two women, dressed exactly the same.

"You are Fang Mei, and you are Fang Gui!"

Chen Fang pointed them out one by one.

Fang Gui exclaimed with delight, "How can you tell us apart? Sometimes even Cheng gets confused."

"Simple. Fang Mei has a bigger chest; Fang Gui's is smaller. I can tell at a glance."

As soon as this was said,

Fang Gui pouted, somewhat displeased.

To ease the awkwardness, Fang Mei snorted coldly, "What are you covering for? It's not like you haven't seen it before?"

"When have you ever seen it, sister?"

Fang Gui paused and asked.

Seeing Fang Mei's embarrassed look, Chen Fang hurriedly asked, "I meant, how did you two get in here?"

"We walked in, how else?"

Fang Gui was rather gullible and quickly got taken in by the smooth talk, covering her mouth as she started to laugh.

Fang Mei let out a sigh of relief and said, "Get up. Brother Cheng is here, waiting outside."

Zhang Cheng is here?

Chen Fang gave a jolt, slipped on a bathrobe, and stepped out of the bedroom.

Indeed, Zhang Cheng was sitting on the sofa, leaning on a cane.

Behind him, aside from himself,

there were four or five people standing scattered around the room, all uniformly dressed as his subordinates.

And in the middle of the carpet, a disheveled man was kneeling with his head down, unidentifiable.

"Awake?"

Zhang Cheng asked.

Chen Fang nodded and asked, "Who's this guy?"

"Lift your head!"

Zhang Cheng barked.

The kneeling man slowly raised his head. Though his face was covered in bruises, it was still recognizable – he was the taxi driver who had tasered Chen Fang at the party school gate that day.

"Damn, it's you."

Chen Fang came to his senses and said.

Zhang Cheng said, "Caught him this morning. He's one of Guo Peihan's men."

Chen Fang was taken aback and asked, "Guo Peihan? The War God in Red Guo Peihan?"

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "That's him."

In the territory of Yong'an Province.

If you ask which underworld figure had the most infamous reputation, without a doubt, it was Guo Peihan, even more so than Zhang Cheng.

Guo Peihan was originally a boxer and had won the provincial championship. Later, due to an injury, he had to retire early.

Besides boxing, he knew nothing else, so he got assigned to work at a state-owned steel mill in Rongjiang City at that time.

Slaving away from dawn to dusk like a dog, he still couldn't make much money.

He even had a chance to become a workshop director.

Unexpectedly, a young man with connections came from above, taking his spot.

Enraged, he beat up the factory leader and got fired.

Jobless, he sought a living and ended up joining a notorious gang in Rongjiang City as an enforcer.

That was when Guo Peihan started to rise to prominence.

Because he was willing to fight and was brave within the gang, and he was also very loyal, he naturally took over the gang when the former boss died unexpectedly.

The underworld scene in Rongjiang City was chaotic at the time.

Guo Peihan, dressed in his trademark red, absorbed many other gangs, earning the nickname "War God in Red."

More than a decade ago,

Guo Peihan realized that relying solely on the underworld would not last, so he bought the then nearly bankrupt steel mill and started legitimate business dealings.

Surprisingly, the guy was quite clever.

In an era when steel was in high demand, he managed to grow his business rapidly and powerfully.

Now he's practically the steel tycoon of Yong'an Province.

Although he had started doing business,

his underworld attributes hadn't changed much. This whole territory had been gained through bloodshed and violence.

"I don't know this Guo Peihan, so why would he come after me?"

Chen Fang scratched his head and asked.

Zhang Cheng said to the man kneeling on the ground, "You answer him."

That guy had probably been beaten badly and didn't hide anything, speaking tremulously, "Because... because the boss of the Elegant Residence... Dong Kui, is... is our Brother Han's underling…"

With that explanation,

Chen Fang suddenly understood.

He thought about it and said, "No, that's not right. Even if it's because of Dong Kui, with all the connections in the world, Guo Peihan couldn't possibly know about my relationship with Yang Xi."

The man on the ground nodded and said, "Indeed... indeed, he didn't know. It's because... because of a man named Chu Jindai."

Chu Jindai?

Upon hearing this name,

all parts of Chen Fang's confusion fell into place.

When he met with Jiang Chuo in the car previously, he had guessed that Jiang Chuo laid out a scheme and someone was instigated to attack him, he just hadn't expected that person to be Chu Jindai.

"Got everything figured out?"

Zhang Cheng asked.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "All clear."

Zhang Cheng grunted and pointed at the man on the ground, "Take him out and treat him well, then dump him at the entrance of Fenghua Group."

"Yes!"

Several underlings responded.

The man was dragged away amid cries of agony.

Chen Fang was accustomed to Zhang Cheng's way of handling things.

He quickly sat down and asked, "Brother Cheng, how did you know what was happening to me here? I don't remember notifying you."
