Haitang looked at Gao Ren's murderous expression as he said these words, and then spoke up.

"Ren-ge,"

"My body, plus helping you lure Shimaha Ichiro out!"

"These two conditions combined should be enough to sway you, Brother Ren!"

Upon hearing Haitang's question, Gao Ren did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Ding Yao standing to the side.

Ding Yao felt the look on Gao Ren's face.

A hint of surprise appeared on her alluring face.

"Ren-ge, I didn't expect you to respect my opinion so much!"

Seeing the teasing tone in Ding Yao's voice, Gao Ren smiled and said...

"You're so beautiful and so capable,"

How could I not respect your opinion!

Seeing Gao Ren say this with such a serious expression, Ding Yao was certain in her heart that...

If his answer or even his gaze displeases Gao Ren,

Gao Ren most likely won't abandon her directly, after all, no man wants to be cuckolded without a clear explanation.

But her position in Gao Ren's heart is definitely not as good as that of the more sensible Haitang!

"Ren-ge,"

"Your two older sisters, Vivi and Lily, will be going back with you sooner or later,"

"Marumaru, you've placed such a heavy burden on my shoulders all by yourself. I don't have your abilities..."

"I wouldn't be able to handle it without my sisters helping me out!"

When Ding Yao said those words, Gao Ren was not only watching her to see if her gaze changed,

Still checking the favorability rating above her head...

There was nothing unusual about either their gaze or their level of affection.

Gao Ren then pulled her into his arms, looking at the crabapple blossoms in front of him.

Seeing that her favorability rating was 85, he then spoke.

"I, Gao Ren, am not one to use my women to lure scoundrels!"

Upon hearing Gao Ren's words, Haitang's face immediately showed a hint of surprise.

"Brother Naren, how do you plan to deal with this Shima Ichiro?"

Getting rid of him is difficult, but it's not impossible.

"You don't need to worry about this."

"If I make Zhou Chaoxian and Liu Jian your underlings, are you confident you can control them?"

Ding Yao looked at Haitang, who was lost in thought.

Lying in Gao Ren's arms, Ding Yao couldn't help but reveal a charming and alluring smile on her face.

As for why,

Can black be compared to white?

"I can!"

Seeing the seriousness on Haitang's face, Gao Ren gave her a look.

Bored to the point of playing with a dagger, Ah-Ji picked up the phone and made a call.

"Bring Zhou Chaoxian and Liu Jian over here!"

Upon hearing this, Haitang's delicate face showed a hint of pleading.

"Ren-ge,"

"My younger brother...."

Looking at Haitang's tearful eyes, Gao Ren smiled slightly.

"Look at the doorway,"

As soon as Gao Ren finished speaking, Hai Tang's younger brother, Hai Yuan, appeared at the door.

"elder sister!"

"Xiao Yuan...."

Just as the two siblings were reunited, Gao Ren got up and went to the lounge to see Qin Lie.

On the other side,

Marukita, within a private estate,

"Chief Liu, Haitang has been gone for over two hours now..."

Despite Zhou Chaoxian's urging, Liu Jian remained calm and composed.

"Chief Zhou, don't worry..."

Before Liu Jian could finish saying the word "bar," someone suddenly walked in.

"Big brother, something's happened!"

Liu Jian looked at the underling who had said those words, his face filled with intense panic.

The hand holding the teapot tightened its grip.

"What's up!"

"News has just come in that Haitang's younger brother, Haiyuan, has been kidnapped!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jian immediately stood up excitedly.

"How could he have been kidnapped!"

Just as the younger brother was about to speak, Zhou Chaoxian, who had been sitting there the whole time, interrupted.

Seeing the man in black suddenly appear outside the courtyard, a look of relief immediately appeared on his face.

"The people who kidnapped Haiyuan have arrived,"

Upon hearing Zhou Chaoxian's words, Liu Jian's gaze also fell upon the suddenly appearing man in black.

Just then, he and Zhou Chaoxian's bodyguards stepped in to stop them.

He was knocked down by the man in black in one move.

Seeing this, the underling was about to draw his gun when Liu Jian spoke up.

"Put it away,"

"If they wanted to kill us, you wouldn't even have a chance to draw your gun..."

As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, the man in black was already in front of the three of them.

"Chief Liu, Chief Zhou!"

"General Gao requests your presence!"

Who is General Gao, as mentioned by the people in black? Would Zhou Chaoxian and Liu Jian not know?

They not only knew that this General Gao was Gao Ren, but also...

They also know that

Gao Ren so blatantly sent people to kidnap them and take them to the villa for a meeting.

It was to let Chu Tian and the others know that

We know they've already sided with Gao Ren!

As for whether they did it voluntarily... does that even matter?

"Can I ask you one question before I go?"

"When did this General Gao you mentioned start keeping an eye on us?"

Faced with Liu Jian's question, the man in black answered without the slightest hesitation.

"The moment I saw you after killing Qiu Xiaochi!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoxian and Liu Jian exchanged a smile.

Because they now understood why Gao Ren had stopped attacking them...

Because Gao Ren already had a way to take them under control!

While Zhou Chaoxian and Liu Jian were being led to see Gao Ren, Gao Ren had already arrived at the lounge and met Qin Lie and the other man.
