The girl seemed quite agitated after hearing Nan Lichuan's ridiculous words. What did he mean by only being able to express gratitude? How could she possibly want just gratitude?

"Hahaha, Nan Lichuan, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? How could you just give me gratitude? What I want is for you to love me and like me."

"In this world, there's only me, the only one who likes you this much. What are they compared to me? They mean nothing, you know that!"

Her excited tone slightly detracted from her image, but she didn't care at all. With everyone here, what did she care about her image?

"What's wrong, dear Nan? Why aren't you saying anything? Well, I'll continue with what I'm doing."

The girl undressed incredibly quickly this time, determined not to be caught by Nan Lichuan. She refused to believe that no man disliked a woman with a good figure. Countless men were captivated by her charms!

Nan Lichuan stood up, his face growing colder and colder until it was impossible to tell what expression he had.

He restrained the girl's hand, quickly and accurately pulled out a rope, tied it around her hand, and fixed it to the left side.

He looked at the woman coldly, no longer giving her a kind look. "Woman, I gave you a chance before, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Considering that you once liked me, I won't do anything to you."

"But you still need to learn a little lesson, woman, otherwise you won't know what the consequences of pushing your luck will be!"

Nan Lichuan is actually a man of few words, no matter where he is. There are only a few reasons why he might become talkative.

Either when facing someone they like, even a big-name celebrity, they act this way, or when they make someone angry, that person will be in big trouble!

Nan Lichuan didn't let Meizi off the hook just because she was a girl. He glanced at the inconspicuous bottle of medicine out of the corner of his eye, and realized that it was probably the so-called aphrodisiac.

They thought Nan Lichuan was very gentle, but he wasn't the gentlest person. He was often the most ruthless, and he happened to be that kind of person.

Seeing that the girl was somewhat confused due to the medicine, he felt no pity whatsoever; instead, he smiled.

It was a good decision to let her feel Lin Xiao's pain at that time, wasn't it?

So he picked up a phone, dialed the number, and told everyone outside to come in. "Hello, come in. Yes, call a few people over."

Several tall and imposing men appeared before Nan Lichuan, which startled the still somewhat conscious girl.

What did he want to do by bringing these men here? It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it? She didn't want that!

Seeing the girl's frantic shaking of her head and her panic, Nan Lichuan already knew that she knew what he wanted to do, and he snorted coldly.

He has never been a kind person, and he has never thought that way. Is it just her own idea that if she likes someone, that person must like her back? She is overthinking things!

"Don't you really like taking your clothes off in front of men? I think you could do it in a different way, or you wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Then I'll trouble you all to serve our young lady well."

After saying that, Nan Lichuan didn't look inside again, nor did he care what was happening inside. He only knew that he had wasted too much of his time.

The bodyguards' approach and the act of taking off their clothes terrified the girl on the bed. She frantically shook her head, pulling the only blanket covering her body further inside, shrinking deeper into the blanket.

But all of this was in vain; her panicked cries finally faded away in the room…

No one knows what happened to her then, whether she is dead or alive.

Only this quiet air knows that you can mess with anyone, but you must not mess with Nan Lichuan!

He was very happy that he had solved his first goal, and he felt that the rest would be easy to solve because he thought there shouldn't be any problems with his brother.

Just then, his phone rang. He took it out, looked at the caller ID, and a smile crept onto his lips. It was coming.

"Hey, yeah, how's everything going on your side? Yeah, thank you so much, it's great to have you guys as brothers."

"Thank you. I'll treat you to that big meal next time."

"Okay, then keep your word. By the way, how's things going between you and Yu Qianluo? Is it impossible for you two to be together?"

The man's deliberate question made Nan Lichuan smile helplessly. This brother thought that others didn't know, but in reality, he was the only one who didn't know; everyone else knew perfectly well.

“If you like him so much, you should ask him yourself instead of letting him waste his time with me, don’t you think?”

A few simple words of greeting ended his bad mood for the day. It's true, it's only with the people around you that things feel interesting. As for those who are only with him for personal gain, ha!

Nan's mother kept staring at the door from inside the house, looking thoughtful. She had a feeling that something was going to happen, but she just couldn't figure out where this feeling came from.

She didn't understand until the housekeeper appeared in front of her with her phone.

"Hey, what's wrong with Nanshan?"

"What? The stock price has plummeted, and shareholders are filing a huge complaint, even calling the general affairs department. Are you kidding me? What's the board of directors doing?"

"Why didn't you check first before calling? Does calling me make any difference? Honestly!"

Don't let Nan's mother's gender fool you; she's no less ruthless than a man, if not more so. Otherwise, she wouldn't be on equal footing with Nanshan. If it were anyone else, Nanshan would have kicked them away long ago.

"Yes, you should check it out quickly and find out what's going on. I need to calm the shareholders down first, otherwise we'll suffer huge losses."

A sharp drop in stock price suggests that the company may be struggling or its business is not doing well. Generally speaking, a sharp drop in stock price is not a good sign.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Nan's mind: Could it be Lin Xiao? What reason would he have to do such a thing? Wasn't she good to him?

009 System (disdainfully): Pah! You call that being nice to someone? You bully them by pinning them to the ground and making the male lead feel sorry for them. Is that being nice to them? You've really gone too far. Shameless!

Just as she was about to do something, the second phone rang. The person on the other end chuckled a few times, as if they were having a good time.

“My dearest mother, you don’t need to trouble yourself. It wasn’t Xiao Xiao who did it. Xiao Xiao wouldn’t do such a thing, because he still cares about you. It’s just that you never seem to treat him as family; instead, you see him as an enemy.”
