Volume One, Chapter 17: Su Jinyao, You Really Have So Many Props!

Page (1/3)

The secret rendezvous arranged by Su Jinyao was set in a location slightly away from the city center. It was a boutique apartment, fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and balcony—ideal for any scenario. There was even a dedicated storage room for props like whips, collars, candles, and so forth. Once you experience something like this, it’s like opening the door to a new world; you crave it daily, with the intensity of the thrill growing each time.

The moment Liu Dong stepped inside, Su Jinyao launched herself into his arms.
“Why are you wearing the little black cat’s blindfold today?”
“Don’t tell the big tiger, alright? Awoooo.”
“I think you’re more like a little wildcat.”
“Today, this queen is feeling weak, so let’s switch roles.”
“Very well, Your Majesty.”

Before the intense struggle ahead, they had to savor the moment; if it ended abruptly, it would be a loss. Sometimes, Su Jinyao’s choice of address left Liu Dong feeling disoriented, almost mistaking it for daytime...

Being a double agent was no easy task—always at risk of exposure. It wasn’t the right time to reveal everything, but Liu Dong had already planned the moment carefully.

“You’re such a bad guy, why aren’t you gentle today?”
Su Jinyao gasped for breath, lying against Liu Dong’s chest, her flushed face dotted with fresh white freckles.
“Tomorrow, I have something important to handle. It might be the last time you see me.”
Liu Dong’s breathing remained steady, his tone relaxed.
“Huh? And you’re still able to smile? What’s so serious?”
“Everyone dies eventually. It doesn’t matter; I take it lightly. Besides, even if I die, I wouldn’t regret it—after all, I met you.”
“You bad guy, be serious. Actually, my family has some influence in Jinghai. If you’re facing trouble, tell me. Maybe I can help.”

Su Jinyao’s voice grew anxious; it was clear she worried about him. Considering how he once rescued her on a motorcycle, she even suspected he might be a secret agent—like a 007—constantly on dangerous missions.

In truth, Liu Dong wasn’t interested in 007 at all; he preferred something more like Okamoto 001.

“It’s nothing. I can handle it. Trust me. Because of you, I’ll fight to stay alive.”
Su Jinyao clenched her delicate fist and gave his chest a firm pinch.
“You better keep your word!”
“Of course. Hey, why are you crawling down there?”

“To give you a little more sweetness so you won’t forget me! Remember, don’t die.”

No springtime is better than a dream...

Another day passed. At Jinghai’s most luxurious gym, the front desk of the “Iron Pump” club was crowded with five people.

The cashier was visibly irritated.
“I’ve told you, this is a membership-only place. Even the most basic membership costs fifty thousand to join. You beggars, don’t come polluting the air here. This is a high-end venue!”

“What did you say, sis? I really want to experience the best gym in Huaxia. Fifty thousand is too expensive! Can’t you cut us a discount, considering how cute and sincere we are?”

The speaker was over two meters tall, with shoulders like twin hills, thick arms, and muscular thighs... a loli? At least her face was that of a loli, with twin ponytails tied with red bands, speaking in a regional accent with a somewhat effeminate tone.

She was accompanied by four expressionless kids. Upon closer look, their abdominal muscles were as ripped as washboards, collectively known as “Forty Thousand.”

“Can you shut up? I can tolerate you a bit if you’re quiet. No money? Then leave immediately!”

“You, you, if you keep this up, I’m gonna start disliking you.”

Sixty Thousand raised his burly arm and flicked his pinky finger.
“Security! Security! Get them out of here!”

The security guards, long fed up, swarmed the group.
“You guys are so rude!”
“What’s that? Big muscles and you think you’re something? Judging by your voice, you must have muscle weakness! Get lost, get lost!”
“Since you’re so impolite, don’t blame us for being rude.”

With a ripping sound, Sixty Thousand’s clothes burst open from his muscles, followed by four more ripping sounds as Forty Thousand and the others did the same.

The more timid security guards retreated several steps in fright.
“Damn it. Don’t be afraid of them. If they scare me, beat them to death. This place is protected by Master Tang Lei. Even if someone dies, it’s fine!”

No sooner had the lead guard spoken than the thugs—hired ruffians—got fired up. They had heard that even if they killed someone, they wouldn’t be held accountable, so they were ready for a fight.

“Stop! I dare anyone to move!”

Naturally, it was Liu Dong speaking, followed by Su Jinyao.

For Liu Dong, it had been a tiring few days, playing the role of a father day and night.

But for Su Jinyao, having two dads was quite novel, so she happily followed Liu Dong wherever he went—after all, he might truly become her father someday. (A bit of tongue-twisting there.)

Su Jinyao had been exhausted these past two days, but Liu Dong pretended not to notice, blaming her lack of exercise and inviting her to the gym, where they had just witnessed this scene.

The security guards, seeing Liu Dong dressed plainly and carrying a battered briefcase, grew even angrier.

“Who the hell are you, some little nobody, dragging a briefcase here pretending to be a bureau-level officer? Go cool off somewhere else. This isn’t your place!”

“Oh, you’re quite the talker, huh?”

Liu Dong remained calm, unruffled. He walked to the front desk and opened his briefcase.

“What if I take this out?”

“What are you pulling out? If you pull that out, you’re the boss here.”

Liu Dong revealed stacks of cash, causing the security guards to display expressions like a Sichuan opera face-changing performance.

The cashier was stunned, never expecting someone with such a shabby briefcase to look so impressive when pulling out money.

Such is the power of cash. Liu Dong had withdrawn it all from the bank—it was his entire fortune, and his heart bled. Once this matter was settled, he’d have to work fast to earn more.

“Here, champ, take this money and slap him.”

Liu Dong handed the briefcase to Sixty Thousand.

Sixty Thousand was momentarily stunned, surprised.
“I don’t want it. We don’t like violence.”

Looking at the shredded clothes on the floor, Liu Dong almost believed him.

“Sir, you don’t need to do it. I’ll slap myself.”

The security captain began slapping his own face.

Liu Dong gave him a thumbs-up. No wonder he was such a capable captain.

Liu Dong counted out another ten thousand and tossed it to him.

The captain’s sycophantic expression was like a dog eating something foul.

“I like your rebellious spirit. Recover yourself; soon someone with a crooked mouth will come. You need to be ten times stronger than now when you face him. Can you do it?”

“Just watch me, sir. I haven’t even used my full strength yet! I promise to humiliate him so badly he won’t even recognize his own mother! If you’d told me this was a trial, I’d join you right after this! Can I?”

“We’ll see how you handle things.”

Those who have insulted me, I can treat in this way—imagine how I treat those loyal to me! Applause if you understand!
