"How could that be? She's nothing compared to you, Sister Shui. Look at her, fat and short. I wouldn't even have an appetite if she were given to me for free!"
Li Yang shrugged disdainfully, then turned and smiled at Sister Shui, saying, "Which woman in the world can be as good as you, Sister Shui? Not only are you beautiful and have a great figure, but you're also so full of feminine charm."
"You sure know how to talk. Be quiet now, so they don't find us."
Shui Xiang continued to record the video from a distance. In less than ten minutes, the two had finished.
The man looked exhausted, but Xiao Yuan still seemed unsatisfied. She turned her head and pouted, saying, "Darling, you're done already? I haven't had enough yet."
"Next time, we'll do it next time. I'm a bit tired today," the man said, sitting there drenched in sweat.
*Poof!*
Seeing his uselessness, Li Yang couldn't help but snicker. He whispered to Shui Xiang, "Sister Shui, I didn't expect your ex-husband to be so useless. He lost steam in just a few minutes. You were really wronged before."
"Don't even mention it. This good-for-nothing, he's useless even with his own woman. And he still has the nerve to ask other women out. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"
Shui Xiang mocked him mercilessly. After putting away her phone, she signaled Li Yang to leave quietly.
The two in the stairwell didn't notice Li Yang and Shui Xiang's presence. When Shui Xiang returned to the office, she became increasingly angry. She slammed the table and declared, "This time, I must send this scoundrel to jail and make sure he never gets out."
"Alright, Sister Shui. You should first investigate the financial officer Xiao Yuan's family background and try to contact her husband. As soon as she makes any moves on the accounts, immediately hand over the evidence to her husband."
"This way, her husband naturally won't let your ex-husband and that woman off the hook. They'll be sent in together!" Li Yang comforted Shui Xiang.
"Good, I want to see them sent to jail with my own eyes and receive the punishment they deserve," Shui Xiang said, clenching her fists.
In the afternoon, Shui Xiang not only investigated the financial officer Xiao Yuan's family background but also had her assistant keep a close watch on her movements, reporting any work abnormalities immediately.
At the same time, Shui Xiang's old friend delivered the goods Li Yang and she had ordered. After receiving the money, he exchanged pleasantries with Shui Xiang and left.
The Rich Man's Gambling Stone City immediately released news that they would be holding a treasure auction in two days, featuring treasures that would shock the world.
Especially if this news reached Situ Jue's ears, he would undoubtedly spare no effort to obtain these treasures.
Time quickly passed to the evening. Li Yang received a call from Qin Bingqin, inviting him out for dinner. He bid farewell to Shui Xiang and left.
Shui Xiang had intended to have dinner with Li Yang after she finished her work, but she was still busy with the raw stone orders at the shop, so she let Li Yang go ahead.
Twenty minutes later, Li Yang arrived at the largest five-star hotel in Jiangcheng, following the address Qin Bingqin had provided.
Li Yang parked his car and, upon entering, announced his name. The waiter smiled and led Li Yang to a private room on the top floor.
The private room Qin Bingqin had booked for the evening was the most expensive in the entire hotel. It featured not only grand song and dance performances but also a spectacular fireworks display.
A meal like this would cost at least several million.
Li Yang, observing the utmost respect shown by the hotel staff and the luxurious furnishings of the private room with its huge viewing deck, couldn't help but marvel, "As expected of the Qin family's eldest daughter. She certainly knows how to host a lavish dinner!"
"Mr. Li, you're here. Please come and sit. I've already ordered dinner for tonight, trying out all the signature dishes of this hotel. I hope you'll like them, Mr. Li."
Qin Bingqin greeted Li Yang with a smile as he walked in.
"Miss Qin, you're too kind. I merely healed your illness as a favor. There's no need for such a grand gesture of thanks, is there?" Li Yang walked over and sat down, saying politely.
"How can that be? For you, Mr. Li, it was a trivial matter, but for me, you saved my life. Such a significant event cannot go unrewarded!"
As Qin Bingqin spoke, she poured Li Yang a glass of red wine and said with a smile, "This is a 1982 Lafite. This glass of wine is my expression of gratitude to you, Mr. Li. Let's toast."
"Alright, then it would be rude to refuse!"
Seeing her politeness, Li Yang raised his glass and unceremoniously drank with her.
After finishing the glass of wine, Qin Bingqin's cheeks flushed slightly. She bit her tender lips and looked at Li Yang charmingly, saying, "Mr. Li, after dinner tonight, can you grant me another, perhaps excessive, request?"
"What request?"
Li Yang, seeing her alluring expression, which was full of temptation, felt his heart involuntarily quicken. He casually asked.
"I see you're so young and handsome, Mr. Li. You're the most special man I've met in Jiangcheng. So, I invited you here tonight not only to have dinner with me but also to confess my feelings and ask you to be my boyfriend!"
Qin Bingqin responded somewhat shyly, then leaned closer to Li Yang. Her eyes gazed at him adoringly as she said, "I've prepared a grand song and dance performance and a fireworks show for you tonight. I hope you like it."
"Miss Qin, are you drunk? You're too close to me..."
Li Yang saw that her lips were almost touching his face and quickly tried to dodge. However, she grabbed his arm and directly kissed him on the lips.
In that instant, Li Yang's entire body felt heated, and he seemed to freeze.
Qin Bingqin's lips were very warm. Li Yang hadn't expected her to be so forward with him; every move she made was beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, Qin Bingqin didn't make any further intimate gestures beyond the kiss.
She kissed Li Yang for a moment, then slowly, with a blush, released his lips and lowered her head, saying, "Mr. Li, do you like my kiss?"
"I, I like it!" Li Yang said dazedly, confirming she wasn't drunk.
"That's good. After we watch the song and dance, we can do something more meaningful together tonight."
Qin Bingqin said shyly, then quickly distanced herself from Li Yang. With a gentle wave of her hand, the grand song and dance performance immediately began.
Tonight, she had invited a sword dance troupe named "Xiang Zhuang Dances with Swords."
Li Yang looked at the enormous stage where countless people holding swords walked on. He felt a bit confused, wondering why Miss Qin would choose a sword dance troupe to perform.
Wasn't this sword dance based on the story of Xiang Yu assassinating Liu Bang?
Did Miss Qin particularly like this story?
Soon, the stage's set was complete. As the music began, the song and dance performance unfolded!
Li Yang and Qin Bingqin watched the grand performance. However, just as they were watching Xiang Zhuang dance with swords, with the sword tip aimed at Liu Bang, ready to strike, Xiang Zhuang's sword suddenly changed direction. He unexpectedly turned and lunged at Qin Bingqin, swiftly stabbing towards her.
