At Villa No. 1, Yu Xian'er occasionally taught them how to cook, Shuang'er spent all day watching Sailor Moon on TV, and apart from Dongxue who often went out with Shen Lang, the other three members of the Four Seasons Sisters rarely appeared.

She interacted most with the young cook, Qin Shiya.

Now there's another one, Zhuge Jing.

Zhuge Jing nodded thoughtfully. She wasn't fond of the women in Shen Lang's family; Villa No. 1 was merely a temporary safe haven for her. She would leave once Lu Weidong's matter was resolved. For some reason, Shen Lang always gave her a very uncomfortable feeling.

Inside Baiyun Manor, Han Yuming said with envy, "President Shen, you're truly a hidden talent. No wonder Baiyun Restaurant closed down recently; it turns out you've taken it over."

Shen Lang smiled and shook his head, then personally poured Han Yuming a glass of wine: "President Han, I really have to thank you for your help today."

Han Yuming didn't stand on ceremony with Shen Lang. He picked up his wine glass and said, "Don't be so polite with your older brother. I like you as a person, so just let me know if there's anything I can do to help you."

Han Yuming now understood that Shen Lang was definitely not a subordinate he could control.

Shen Lang also raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Brother Han."

Tan Bing, who was sitting to the side, also raised her glass and clinked glasses with the two of them.

After a few rounds of drinks, Tan Bing took the opportunity to ask Shen Lang for advice on hotel management.

This time, Shen Lang didn't hold back either, and passed on everything he had learned to Tan Bing.

The three chatted until 1 a.m. Han Yuming drank Dukang wine for the first time and got drunk. Tan Bing also got confused after drinking too much.

After settling the two of them at Baiyun Villa, Shen Lang and Dong Xue went home.

Back home, Shen Lang, lying in bed, watched as Yu Xian'er carried a jade bowl to the bedside.

"Here, young master, have some soup."

"..."

After their lovemaking, the two snuggled together and fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Lang dialed Liu Huimin's number.

"Mr. Liu."

"Shen Lang? Why are you calling me?" Liu Huimin asked on the other end of the phone.

Shen Lang stood on the bedroom balcony, gazing into the distance, and said softly, "It's nothing serious, I just have some documents here that I'd like Mr. Liu to take a look at. I wonder if Mr. Liu has the time?"

Liu Huimin wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was quite clever. When she heard Shen Lang say the word "data," she already had a bad feeling. However, she didn't show it. Instead, she asked in a calm tone, "What data? I don't know what you're talking about."

Shen Lang had memorized all the information he had read, thanks to the benefits of his increased mental strength—he could remember everything he saw.

"I wonder if Mr. Liu remembers that on July 15th of 2022, he was wearing a white suit at Qinhe Jiayuan in Shenglin District..."

Before Shen Lang could finish speaking, Liu Huimin's furious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Stop talking!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Huimin tried her best to control her emotions: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"If Mr. Liu has time, you can come to Villa No. 1 Wangshanhe now. I'll be waiting for you here." After saying that, Shen Lang hung up the phone.

Liu Huimin, who was still in bed, suddenly got up, dressed, and without even washing up, rushed downstairs and drove alone towards Qingyun Mountain.

"How could he have known... how could he have known..."

In the driver's seat of the Maserati, Liu Huimin dialed a phone number.

"Sister Liu."

"Viper, kill someone for me," Liu Huimin said in a very vicious tone.

"Who is it?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

"Shen Lang is currently at Villa No. 1 in the Wangshanhe Villa District."

"Sister Liu, are you kidding me? The security system for the Wangshanhe Villa District is made by Black Ice Company. With our meager resources, we're not even enough to fill their teeth," the person on the other end of the phone sneered.

"One hundred million yuan, enough to kill everyone in the Wangshanhe No. 1 villa, is that possible?"

"I'm very sorry, but I'm very tempted by the 100 million. However, I cannot agree to this request. If Black Ice Company finds out, Snake Cave will have no place in China. So even if it's 1 billion, we can't take this order."

After saying that, the person hung up the phone.

"Damn it!" Liu Huimin angrily threw her phone out the window.

Liu Huimin's panic stemmed from the fact that the time and place Shen Lang mentioned on the phone were the very same time she last met with Scorpion for their private transaction. It was that incident that led to Scorpion's exposure, and Lu Weidong's underground drug trafficking network in S Province was dismantled by the central government's Narcotics Control Bureau.

The fact that Shen Lang could mention that time and place proved that he already possessed evidence that she had Scorpion sell drugs for her. Furthermore, she felt that Shen Lang likely already knew about her relationship with Lü Weidong. If Lü Weidong found out that she was the reason he destroyed his underground money-printing machine, her fate would be dire, truly terrible.

To describe Liu Huimin at this point as a dying person would be a compliment.

After arriving at Wangshanhe, Liu Huimin rushed up to the top of Qingyun Mountain, passing through the security booth with sparks flying all the way.

At the entrance of Villa No. 1, Chunyu and Xiayang were already waiting. Just as Liu Huimin stopped the car and was about to walk in, Xiayang instantly appeared behind her. She raised her long, straight leg, encased in jeans, and slammed her red knee-high boot down hard on Liu Huimin's back.

Exhausted, Liu Huimin stumbled and fell to the ground.

"You wretch, you don't deserve to stand."

The fact that Liu Huimin instructed Qiu Hai to attack Shen Lang was already clear during their investigation of Shen Lang.

That's why I was extremely envious when I saw Liu Huimin.

Then a green whip appeared in Chunyu's hand, and she lashed it hard across Liu Huimin's back.

He shouted sternly, "Crawl over there!"

Shen Lang was sitting in the courtyard, holding a cup of pre-rain Longjing tea. He looked at the extremely disheveled Liu Huimin with amusement and teased, "President Liu is really fast. You can drive from Fujiang District to Xicheng District in such a short time. You must have worked hard, President Liu."

Despite the excruciating pain in her back, Liu Huimin lay on the ground, glaring fiercely at Shen Lang, who was watching the spectacle. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Shen...Lang..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a flash of green light appeared, and Chunyu's whip lashed Liu Huimin's back again: "How dare you! How dare a lowly person like you address the young master by his name?"

"Ah!" The Earth-rank expert had only shown the tip of the iceberg of his strength, yet he was able to cause Liu Huimin, an ordinary person, unbearable pain.

She desperately wanted to get up, but it felt like a mountain was pressing down on her, forcing her to stay firmly on the ground and move forward step by step.

"Shen Lang, the humiliation you brought me today, I will repay you a thousandfold in the future."
