"What should we do then?" Manager Fang asked.
Shui Xiang said bitterly, "He's only here for money this time. I'll give him some money to appease him for now."
"Alright, I'll go with you." Manager Fang, afraid she would be alone and at a disadvantage facing that scumbag, immediately followed her towards the office.
As soon as they left, Li Yang emerged from the crowd, his eyes flickering with suspicion.
Although the surrounding noise prevented him from hearing what the two women said, he could tell from their expressions that they were in serious trouble.
He then secretly followed them.
Shui Xiang and Manager Fang, lost in their thoughts, walked into the office without noticing anyone following them.
As soon as they entered, a man lounging inside chuckled, his gaze on Shui Xiang particularly fervent. He said lewdly, "It's been a few years, and you've become even more fiery. I'll definitely cherish you properly later. Hahaha!"
"What are you here for?" Shui Xiang said, her face grim.
The man chuckled and said, "Didn't I call you before asking for money? Since you didn't respond, I had to come myself."
"I didn't say I wouldn't give you money, but the amount is too large, and I can't transfer it to you in a short time." Shui Xiang gritted her teeth, wrote a check for fifty million, and said, "Here's fifty million. Please leave Jiangcheng immediately."
"I'll send you the remaining money when the time is right."
"Fifty million at once? As expected of the most powerful gambling stone boss in Jiangcheng right now, truly generous!" The man snatched the check but had no intention of leaving. He leered at Shui Xiang's figure and said, "However, since I'm already here, why don't I stay the night?"
"Even though the office is a bit crude, it's fine to stay for a night occasionally if I have a woman like you to accompany me."
"You, don't do anything rash!" Manager Fang immediately stepped forward, blocking Shui Xiang.
The man sized her up and said with a lewd grin, "Manager Fang, you're also quite attractive. If you're willing to stay, I wouldn't mind having a threesome with you all. Hehehe!"
"Shameless!" Manager Fang said indignantly.
Shui Xiang also said angrily, "Fei Xiang, don't push your luck too far! I've already given you money. If you become more demanding, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Fine, you can bring your father and your child and fight me to the death together," Fei Xiang said with a cold laugh.
Shui Xiang was so angry she was about to cry, "You beast!"
"What, you don't dare to fight me to the death?" Fei Xiang sneered, unbuckled his belt, and stared at her, "If you don't dare, then hurry up and come here to give me a blow job!"
"Did you hear me!"
"I'll kill you, you beast!" Manager Fang was furious. She grabbed a jade ornament from the desk and hurled it at Fei Xiang's head.
She absolutely could not stand by and watch Shui Xiang be humiliated like this.
However, although Fei Xiang was despicable and shameless, he possessed genuine skill. With a casual grab, he caught the jade ornament and was about to slap Manager Fang in return!
What!
Manager Fang's face drained of color. She could only watch as his palm drew closer and closer to her face!
Just as she was about to suffer Fei Xiang's brutal assault, a hand suddenly appeared in her vision, grabbing Fei Xiang's wrist!
Huh!
Fei Xiang was stunned, not expecting a third person to appear. He looked up suspiciously.
He saw a young man, his eyes burning with a cold, ethereal fire, staring intently at him.
That ethereal fire felt like it was burning him directly. Before he could even ask who the young man was, he felt an intense pain all over his body, as if he were being engulfed in flames. He cried out and knelt on the ground, rolling around.
"Ah! It hurts, it's so hot! I'm on fire! Save me, quickly save me!"
"What's wrong with him?" Manager Fang asked, still shaken.
Li Yang snorted and said indifferently, "Don't mind him. He's just receiving the punishment he deserves."
The true qi generated by the Wuxin cultivation technique could not only heal illnesses and expel evil but also burn others like flames!
When he grabbed Fei Xiang's wrist earlier, his anger was uncontrollable. In just a blink of an eye, he had injected half of his Wuxin true qi into Fei Xiang's body!
Even if Fei Xiang was a martial artist, he couldn't withstand such a massive amount of true qi damage.
"Save me, save me, Shui Xiang!"
Fei Xiang frantically clawed at his own body, tearing his clothes and skin, and roared, "Don't forget what I have in my hand!"
"If I die, you won't get away with it either!"
"You!" Shui Xiang's face immediately turned pale.
Li Yang asked, "Sister Shui, what exactly is going on here? I hope you can tell me immediately, can you?"
"Since it's come to this, I have nothing to hide." Shui Xiang looked at him with teary eyes, her lips trembling with fear. "This scumbag is the ex-husband I told you about before, the one who was supposed to be dead."
"He's not dead?" Li Yang asked in surprise.
Shui Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, but in my heart, I wish he were dead!"
"Boss Li, please don't misunderstand Boss Shui. She's not a wicked-hearted woman. It's just that this scumbag is too detestable and deserves to die!" Manager Fang quickly explained, "He had ill intentions even before the marriage. He kept flattering Uncle Shui, tricking him into marrying Boss Shui to him."
"As soon as they got married, this guy revealed his true nature. He forced Boss Shui to... to..."
At this point, Manager Fang's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't speak.
Shui Xiang, tears streaming down her face, glanced at Li Yang and then lowered her head, saying, "He forced me to become..."
"Don't say it, Sister Shui. I don't care," Li Yang said, pulling her into his arms and interrupting her.
He now fully understood the confusion he had felt about Shui Xiang's past. "The Sister Shui I know has always been a kind, intelligent, considerate, and capable woman. I don't care about anything else."
"So please don't say any more."
"Li Yang,"
Hearing him say that, Shui Xiang choked back a sob for a moment, then burst into tears in his arms. "Thank you, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for, you silly woman," Li Yang said, patting her back to comfort her.
Shui Xiang said, "I thought that after confessing my past, you would look down on me and never talk to me again."
"I won't, Sister Shui. I will never ignore you in this life." Li Yang held her tighter, letting her believe he wasn't lying.
Shui Xiang was indeed comforted by this, and her crying gradually subsided.
"That's wonderful, truly wonderful," Manager Fang said, watching the two of them cry. "Boss Li, you are truly a good man."
"Manager Fang, thank you for always standing by Sister Shui," Li Yang said to her. "But now, I'd like to ask you to take Sister Shui out. I have something to handle alone."
