"Daddy, I'm sorry, I'm just a little scared. Daddy, I'm scared!" Gan Tang nestled in his arms, sobbing all the way. It was hard to tell if she was acting or genuinely upset.

All she knew was that the only person who would accept her at that moment was the one she desperately wanted to kill.

Sometimes, fate is just that ironic.

The crying gradually turned into steady breathing.

Lu Zhengqian looked at his sleeping daughter, who was resting her head on his lap, and his expression became complicated. He took off his coat and covered his daughter with it, then sighed softly, "Ali, inform the entire Qinglong Gang that there will be a general meeting next Monday."

Mo Huaixing has been with the Green Dragon Gang for three years, and he has only held one general meeting. The importance of this meeting is self-evident.

"Mr. Fu, Miss was just saying that because she was feeling sad."

Lu Zhengqian looked at Mo Huaixing and asked coldly, "Are you going to make decisions for the young lady?"

"I misspoke." Whether he wanted to admit it or not, the girl he didn't want to get involved with was destined to be deeply entangled in it.

At Yuanhuai Mountain Villa, a BMW stopped in front of the entrance gate.

Ali and Mo Huaixing got out of the car together and stood by the back door. Because the young lady was asleep, neither of them dared to open the door easily.

Lu Zhengqian gestured for Mo Huaixing to open the door, and unusually, he showed concern for him: "How is your injury?"

Mo Huaixing was slightly taken aback: "It's already much better."

Can you move?

What does this mean?

Mo Huaixing became more and more confused as he listened, but he still replied in agreement, "It can move."

Lu Zhengqian hummed in agreement, helped his daughter up, and Mo Huaixing hurriedly bent down to take Gan Tang out.

Ali opened the door, and Lu Zhengqian waved his hand, "Back to Qinglong Bay."

Then, she looked at Mo Huaixing again and said, "Tang'er is in a bad mood. You should stay with her tonight!"

Stay with me?

Doesn't that mean he's tacitly allowing him to have sex with the young lady?

Ali stared in shock, forgetting to close the car door. It was only when Lu Zhengqian gently knocked on the car window that he came back to his senses.

The car drove away at a noticeably slower speed than usual.

Rarely, seeing that he seemed preoccupied, Lu Zhengqian asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Ali never hid anything from Lu Zhengqian. When asked, he replied, "Mr. Fu, how could he be worthy to serve Miss?"

"As long as Tang'er is happy." Lu Zhengqian sighed.

Ali felt that Mr. Fu had changed from the day the Chu family broke off the engagement. Families like the Chu family were indeed rare. But the Chu family wasn't the only powerful and influential family in the world.

He asked in surprise, "You're not planning to arrange a marriage for the young lady?"

If anyone else had asked him this, they would have been scolded, but Lu Zhengqian knew he was a simple-minded person.

"never mind!"

If he could form a marriage alliance with the Chu family, his legitimate business would be on a smooth path ahead. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Thinking of Chu Mingxuan's words, he realized that the world he was in was not what he had imagined.

If what Chu Mingxuan said is true, and such a thing happened, even families less powerful than the Chu family would not dare to marry Tang'er.

A hint of weariness appeared in Lu Zhengqian's eyes as he comforted himself, "Ah Zhong is right too."

What did Fourth Master say?

Ali recalled yesterday, when He Zhong advised Mr. Fu to give up his legitimate business, saying something like, "Brother, we can be kings in our own world, why do we have to be grandsons in other people's worlds?"

Lu Zhengqian was unwilling to bring up the matter again and instructed Ali: "You know the process of holding a general meeting best. Find some time to teach Tang'er so that she doesn't embarrass herself at the time."

Ali was shocked: "You want the young lady to attend?"

"With your brain full of idiocy, you still have the nerve to criticize Mo Huaixing." While you might trust someone like that, he's incredibly exhausting. Lu Zhengqian was speechless: "He's already finished speaking, and you still don't know what to do!"

Ali retorted, "Didn't you say you didn't want Miss to get involved in underworld business?"

He felt that if he had children in the future, he would not let them get involved in these risky businesses.

Lu Zhengqian said helplessly, "She is my daughter. Even if I don't allow her to have contact with her, do you think others will let her off the hook?"

The actions of Ponzi schemes are proof of this.

Since she is his own daughter, it's impossible for her not to be on this ship.

He had tried to put her on another, safer boat, but that was no longer an option. All she could do was try to keep the boat afloat and pray that she had the ability to steer it.

Suhuai, rest assured, I will make sure our daughter lives a happy and peaceful life.

...

In Yuanhuai Villa, in Gantang's room, only a sliver of cold moonlight shone.

Mo Huaixing looked at the sleeping girl on the bed, caught in a dilemma. He couldn't disobey Lu Zhengqian's advice, but being in a sleeping girl's room late at night was really inappropriate.

Pink curtains hung on the balcony. Mo Huaixing walked onto the balcony, drew the curtains, and separated the small bedroom into two spaces.

Gan Tang heard no sound for a long time before slowly opening her eyes. She hadn't actually slept at all; she knew she should leave his embrace before he carried her back to the room.

But she was a little reluctant to part with it.

The figure behind the curtains held an unlit cigarette to his nose. The cool moonlight shone on his shoulders, making him appear even more forlorn.

Is he missing his wife?

Gan Tang shook her head, ignoring the inappropriate feelings in her heart, and said calmly, "You can leave now!"

"You're awake?" Mo Huaixing turned around abruptly, looking somewhat uneasy, and tried to explain, "Mr. Fu was worried..."

"I'm not asleep!" Gan Tang interrupted him, propping herself up on the bed and turning on the light switch. The room instantly lit up, illuminating a pair of bare feet under the summer blanket.

Just now, he not only took off her shoes, but also covered her with a blanket.

"I'm sorry for troubling you." Gan Tang quickly pulled her feet under the covers and reminded him again, "It's lit up, let's go!"

Mo Huaixing stood still, wanting to say a lot, but not knowing what to say for a moment. In the end, he only managed to say, "Can I stay a little longer?"

"It's inconvenient!" Gan Tang refused.

"But Mr. Fu asked me..."

"Then why are you asking me?" Gan Tang coldly interrupted him.

"Sorry to bother you." Mo Huaixing lowered his head and left, looking somewhat embarrassed.

They just don't like you, they haven't done anything wrong, why are you making things so difficult for them? No wonder they don't like you, you're really narrow-minded.

As Gan Tang watched the receding figure, she said, "Please sit down. I also have something to ask you."

Near the corner of the wall by the balcony, there was a writing desk. Mo Huaixing walked over and sat down in the chair.

"Why did he ask you to stay with me?" Gan Tang asked, then quickly explained, "I need to know the boundaries in our relationship."

Don't let yourself get carried away and become delusional again.

Mo Huaixing said, "He wants me to be completely loyal to you. If you want to establish yourself in the Green Dragon Gang, you must have your own confidants. He is cultivating your power. If I'm not mistaken, in a few days, he will arrange capable people for you."
