The dust settled, and the grand finale unfolded. Xiao Yufan hadn’t done much, because he trusted the strength of the three others—Xiao Dao and his team…
When the full power of the Lei Gang was revealed, the entire underworld of Dongling was somewhat astonished. After such a long period of recovery and growth, the Lei Gang was clearly no weaker than either the Qingyun Society or the Dongling Commercial Guild.
Many people quickly realized that the previous conflict between the Qingyun Society and the Dongling Commercial Guild had likely been instigated by the Lei Gang…
However, those two factions had been just a bit too cooperative, unable to hold back. But this situation presented an opportunity for many other forces. Now that the Lei Gang had become the dominant power in Dongling, the next question on everyone’s minds was—who would rise to rival the Lei Gang and share control over Dongling?
After all, the Qingyun Society and the Dongling Commercial Guild had once split Dongling between them. No one believed the Lei Gang could maintain sole dominance for long.
If the Lei Gang did become the sole ruler, it would surely draw too much attention, and thus could not last long. However, not long after, people began to realize how absurd that thought had been.
After resolving matters in Dongling, Xiao Yufan returned to Linjiang, because he had received news that the Bai family was causing trouble again.
At this time, at Hualong Enterprises…
Qiao Chuxi’s delicate brows were tightly knit together. Her beautiful eyes carried an unusual expression. The continuous setbacks suffered by Qiao Group’s northern operations had left her extremely troubled. The Bai family’s sudden moves were far beyond what the Qiao Group could handle.
“Hey, staying silent like this—do you think that will solve anything?”
Glancing at Xiao Yufan, who remained uncharacteristically quiet, Qiao Chuxi felt a surge of frustration. Ever since he had returned from the Qiao family, this guy had been acting distant and aloof toward her, which made her very uncomfortable.
“I’ve told you before—either call me Fange, or call me husband. Otherwise, deal with your problems on your own.”
While thinking about how to deal with the Bai family, he was suddenly interrupted by Qiao Chuxi. Xiao Yufan snapped harshly—not that he didn’t want to help the Qiao Group, but facing the Bai family really was a bit of a headache.
“Are you even a man? Didn’t you say before that the Qiao family’s affairs were your affairs too?”
Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Qiao Chuxi became furious. Every time she tried to suppress her anger, this man still managed to ignite her temper.
“You can personally verify whether I’m a man or not. But let me warn you—I won’t take responsibility for you.”
Xiao Yufan was already troubled by what the old Qiao patriarch had said. Was he really supposed to marry this girl? Right now, the two of them were like a pair of quarrelsome lovers—he was completely at a loss when it came to dealing with such a woman.
“Ah, you big pervert…”
At first, Qiao Chuxi didn’t understand his meaning, but soon caught on. Inexperienced as she was, after such teasing, her face flushed a deep red.
“So don’t provoke me. If you push me too far, just see if I won’t rape you.”
It seemed he had to act a bit more threatening to keep this girl in check. It had to be said—this girl really was a masochist. The more aggressive and lewd he acted, the more obedient she became.
“I don’t believe you…”
Qiao Chuxi pushed out her full, rounded chest defiantly, her voice carrying a hint of challenge. Tianshuan and Qingluan were right beside her—she didn’t believe this pervert would dare lay a hand on her.
“You asked for it then…”
A faint smile curled his lips. As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Yufan’s hands covered Qiao Chuxi’s chest, lightly brushing them before quickly pulling away. Even so, her delicate body still trembled violently.
“You big pervert, I’ll kill you!”
Before Qingluan and Tianshuan could react, Qiao Chuxi’s shriek already echoed through the air…
