Gao Baoliang felt a lump in his throat, frowned, and looked up.

He looked at the woman in front of him; her eyebrows and eyes were heavily made up, and her face was painted very white. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

"Who are you?" He really couldn't remember.

Ma Huiwen was furious. She had spoken to him at the ice rink, and he had already forgotten so quickly.

“Brother Baoliang, have you forgotten that we met at the ice rink? Later, when you drank too much at your girlfriend’s wedding, I was the one who took you to the guesthouse?” Her tone was a little resentful, but also a little coquettish.

The mere mention of the word 'partner' caused Gao Baoliang's face to darken reflexively.

"What exactly do you want? Speak properly."

Does she think he likes this disgusting tone of voice?

Ma Huiwen stomped her foot in anger, took a deep breath, and said:

"Since you're playing dumb, I'll just be blunt. You slept with me that day, and I expect you to take responsibility!"

"What?" Gao Baoliang stared at her with wide eyes.

"I slept with you? Do you have any proof?"

Ma Huiwen didn't expect to run into a brick wall today while trying to stage an accident. Her eyes darted around, and she said:

"It's been several days, and there's no trace of it anymore. But I know you have a birthmark deep in your lower back."

How could I know this if nothing had happened between us?

Gao Baoliang remained calm: "What does that prove? I only remember that when my buddy took me back, I was a virgin, and there were no traces left by a woman at all."

You had ulterior motives; don't think everyone's stupid. By the way, I used to be a detective.

Ma Huiwen swayed slightly, feeling a fire burning inside her, unable to rise or fall.

She then tried to use threats to force Gao Baoliang to give her some money as compensation, but he refused.

"Comrade, if you harass me again, I will call the police. Last time you took me into the guesthouse without my consent. Were you trying to rob me or kill me, or to ruin my reputation?"

I can get my two buddies to testify, or I can get the staff at the guesthouse to testify.

“You…” Ma Huiwen was completely speechless.

This person is a monster; he's even calling the police!

She was so angry she died, the kind of death she couldn't possibly recover from!

No, this is outrageous!

She directly contacted the person who rented Jiang Rou's shop and was willing to pay 100 yuan a month to rent the shop from her.

The woman was overjoyed. She didn't have much of a business sense and watched her neighbor make money every day, while her shop rarely got any customers. She had long been thinking about selling her shop.

Earning fifty yuan a month is a great deal!

Ma Huiwen immediately went home, grabbed a thousand yuan, and paid for the rest of the lease.

This thousand yuan was all she had saved up over the years through frugality; she had taken it all out, a do-or-die situation.

After paying the rent, she realized that she didn't even have the capital to buy clothes, so she had to borrow from Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou naturally refused, but Ma Huiwen mentioned that Pete should be back after the New Year, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and lend her five hundred yuan.

“Ma Huiwen, I’ve always considered you a sister. If the rumors about me and A Yong came from your mouth, don’t blame me for being greedy and ungrateful.”

She warned.

Ma Huiwen immediately nodded and bowed, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell."

But she couldn't get the money anytime soon; she never expected this leverage to be so useful.

I wonder when her husband will be back!

What an idiot, he doesn't even know his wife is having an affair.

Little did she know that while she was taking over the shop, Pete was playing pool with Ah Yong in the pool hall!

Lin Tao is back, and he's brought a bunch of henchmen with him.

When he got home and didn't see Jiang Rou, he asked his neighbors for directions and then went to the billiard hall.

At this moment, Jiang Rou was trapped in the room.

Lin Tao pretended not to know anything and played billiards with A Yong.

After several rounds, Ah Yong lost every time.

"This is boring, I'm not playing anymore." Lin Tao broke the cue stick with his bare hands and threw it on the ground.

Ah Yong didn't recognize Lin Tao and was stunned by his outrageous actions. He said, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth:

"Brother, a golf club costs fifty yuan, you pay for it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao immediately punched him in the face, sending the cigarette flying several meters away.

"you......"

Before he could ask why, Lin Tao kicked him several more times, knocking him to the ground.

At this moment, all of Ah Yong's friends in the billiard hall surrounded him, wanting to retaliate.

Lin Tao, however, placed one foot on A Yong's back, raised his hand and shook it gently. A dozen or so henchmen rushed in menacingly and surrounded them.

"Ah Yong, is it? You really think I, Pete, am dead? You dare to sleep with my wife? Will you leave with a hand or an eye?"

Ah Yong felt a sudden dizziness, and his face turned ashen, devoid of any color.

"Brother, please forgive me! I didn't know she was your wife. She seduced me..." he pleaded, tears streaming down his face.

Jiang Rou, who had been hiding inside, couldn't stand it anymore, rushed out, and slapped him hard across the face.

"You bastard, you raped me! Pete, hand him over to the police!"

Ah Yong's vomiting of blood—this woman is truly shameless. The first time was against his will, but afterwards, someone begged him for mercy like a dog, and she went too far.

He'd rather die than lose an arm or go blind.

However, Lin Tao suddenly changed his mind and said, "If you agree to be my underling and follow my orders, I can consider keeping your arm on you for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, A-Yong nodded vigorously:

"I promise, I'll do whatever you ask."

He finally realized just how ruthless this man was.

Behind him followed a group of young, strong men, each with a sinister look in their eyes, clearly long-time members of the underworld.

Ah Yong was pragmatic, and Lin Tao didn't waste any words, telling him that from now on, this billiard hall belonged to him, and they were all at his disposal.

A dance hall will soon open next to Huai Mansion. I will use my connections to make the dance hall an instant hit.

A-Yong nodded: "Okay, just give me a bite to eat. I have parents to take care of, so it would be great if you could give me some money too."

During this period, he took a lot of money from Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou was the first to object: "Pete, don't give him money. Why are you being so nice to her?"

Lin Tao grabbed her by the neck, his expression turning sinister:

"You bitch, mind your own business."

After saying that, he laughed loudly at Ah Yong:

"As long as you get things done, why worry about not having money?"

As he spoke, he pulled Ah Yong up, put his arm around his shoulder, and they acted like brothers.

After returning home, Lin Tao confronted Jiang Rou, accusing her of being shameless and unable to bear loneliness.

Jiang Rou was beaten badly and began to fight back fiercely.

"Who told you to suddenly disappear for months! Let me tell you, if you push me too far, I'll report you to the police!"

Lin Tao was still carrying a lawsuit, and his boss told him to be more careful, so he didn't do anything to Jiang Rou anymore. He just told her to behave herself and listen to him.
