Chapter 22 An Ambitious Master



Yu Dayong rushed over and pulled the person out.

"What are you doing here?" Not only Yu Dayong was surprised, but He Zhong and Lin Shuang were also surprised.

Mo Huaixing was only wearing a black shirt, with two buttons missing from the collar, leaving his chest exposed. Coupled with Gan Tang's wrinkled skirt, it was impossible for anyone not to have some thoughts.

"You bastard, how dare you seduce the young lady!" Ali grabbed Mo Huaixing and swung his fist down to punch him in the cheek.

"No!" Before Gan Tang could finish speaking, Mo Huaixing spat out a mouthful of blood. She tried to run over to stop him, but two bodyguards held her tightly.

Seeing Ali punching Mo Huaixing's stomach repeatedly, Gan Tang said anxiously, "Dad, it has nothing to do with him. I invited him here."

Lu Zhengqian's face was terribly gloomy; Gan Tang's words had no effect whatsoever. Seemingly disgusted by the filth of the spurting blood, he flicked his clothes and turned to leave.

Yes, even if I invited him, it's wrong of him to come. Gan Tang hurriedly changed her tune: "Dad, I asked Miss Lin to impersonate you to invite him. You can ask Miss Lin if you don't believe me."

Sure enough, Lu Zhengqian stopped in his tracks. Before he even looked at Lin Shuang, her legs went weak with fear. If she didn't agree, Gan Tang would clearly know this was a trap; if she did agree, then... she would be saved?

Seemingly unable to believe it, Lin Shuang suddenly became agitated. She didn't dare to look at He Zhong and quickly echoed, "Mr. Fu, I just wanted to help Miss, but I didn't expect him to dare to bully her."

"He didn't bully me, I just wanted to kiss him." Although it was a lie, Gan Tang still blushed. Just then, Fu Shaojie walked in, his face looking like he had swallowed a fly.

"Sister, you asked me to stand guard in the distance just to keep watch for you and Mo Huaixing?"

Gan Tang had intended for Fu Shaojie to be a witness, but this unexpected mishap left her both amused and exasperated. However, Fu Shaojie's appearance conveniently made her lie seem more plausible.

She walked towards Lu Zhengqian, opened her palm, and in her palm were the two buttons on Mo Huaixing's chest.

"Dad, I wanted to kiss him, and when he dodged, I pulled off his button." Actually, she picked it up from the ground when Fu Cheng and Mo Huaixing hid.

Seeing that Lu Zhengqian's expression had softened slightly, Gantang shook his arm and said coquettishly, "Daddy, if you let someone hit him again, I'll be the one who loses face!"

The pounding continued. Seeing that Lu Zhengqian didn't speak, Gan Tang shouted to stop him, "Stop, stop..."

Ali looked at Lu Zhengqian and silently lowered his fist.

Although they didn't continue to beat Mo Huaixing, he was still taken away by two bodyguards.

Seeing that things were about to calm down, Yu Dayong wanted to go inside to look for more people, but He Zhong's look calmed him down. Even the most foolish person could tell that their purpose in searching for people was suspicious.

Lu Zhengqian pulled Gan Tang away, not even sparing Lin Shuang a glance as they passed by.

"Big brother..." He Zhong pushed Lin Shuang aside and eagerly chased after her.

Lin Shuang stood alone in the cave, so excited she almost cried. Just as He Zhong had said, none of the women around Lu Zhengqian lasted more than three years; she could only help him for a maximum of three years before she was free.

But can Fu Cheng's matter be resolved peacefully?

Lin Shuang looked into the depths of the cave, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. However, she felt like a pair of eyes were watching her, which frightened her so much that she fled in panic.

These days, Lu Zhengqian's mind is entirely focused on the deceased woman, leaving him no time to think about anything else. Lin Shuang boldly waits at He Zhong's door.

"Who let you come?"

He Zhong saw Lin Shuang from afar and angrily scolded her, but still opened the door and let her in.

The room was dark, and He Zhong's face was obscured by the dim light. Lin Shuang dared not guess his thoughts, so she knelt down to change his shoes, doing her best to conceal her presence.

Suddenly, the room lights came on, casting a pale glow on everyone's faces. Gan Tang hurriedly explained, "Master, in that situation, I couldn't disobey Gan Tang..."

He Zhong looked at the beautiful woman kneeling at his feet, trembling and looking up at him, and felt incredibly pleased, especially since she was Lu Zhengqian's woman. He waved his hand to signal Lin Shuang to stop talking, and grinned wickedly: "Things are getting more and more interesting."

What's the meaning?

He Zhong laughed and said, "Go and bring out the cupping jars."

"Hmm?...Okay..."

Normally, when they met alone, He Zhong would always find new ways to torment her, and it was rare to see him so happy. Lin Shuang was momentarily taken aback and quickly took out a glass jar to give him cupping therapy.

With a scorching glass jar pressed against his back, the heat shooting straight to his limbs, He Zhong asked Lin Shuang, "What do you think of Mo Huaixing?"

"I haven't paid attention to him." Was she supposed to seduce him? Gan Tang suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Fool!" Though his tone was dismissive, He Zhong seemed quite satisfied with the answer and continued, "That guy is quite ambitious. He wants to step on his older brother to become the young lady's savior."

"What do you mean?" Lin Shuang vaguely guessed something, but she dared not say it. He Zhong despised stupid people, but he couldn't tolerate smart people even more.

A huge mirror hung on the wall above the bed. Looking at Lin Shuang's bewildered reflection, He Zhong chuckled, "Right now, in Gan Tang's eyes, Fu Cheng is 'me,' the villain, and Mo Huaixing is her savior. It's a pity, though; I wonder how Mo Huaixing managed to scare her like that. Right now, she's demanding someone from Fu Yuanshan!"

"Master, are you saying that Mo Huaixing lied to Gan Tang?" At this point, pretending not to understand would be a disappointment. Since Mo Huaixing dared to lie to Gan Tang, he must know something. Lin Shuang asked urgently, "Master, are you going to kill him?"

"Why kill him? Since he wanted to be the young lady's savior, he must have wanted to keep it a secret even more than we did." He Zhong became more and more excited as he thought about it: "The show is about to begin!"
