Volume 1, Chapter 19: Chen Liang's Fury!!!

"I don't want anyone to disturb my peace again." Su Ming said in a flat tone.

Immediately, Zhang Jun nodded heavily and, without any warning, slapped the woman across the face. The woman was knocked to the ground, clutching her face and wailing.

"Dajun, I'm your sister, how could you..." The woman cried out, but Zhang Jun ignored her completely, stepping forward and kicking her right in the face.

"Don't talk to me about being my sister! Even if you were my own mother, I'd still beat you to death today!"

"Do you have any idea how close you came to getting me killed? Get on your knees and apologize to Master Su, now!"

Zhang Jun hit her with brutal force, leaving a clear footprint on her face and even knocking out some of her teeth. He looked utterly vicious. His attitude was one of extreme contrast: submissive and trembling before Su Ming, but ruthless and violent toward his own sister.

Terrified and shattered, the woman scrambled to her knees, begging for mercy. Su Ming, long since impatient, left the alley entrance and stepped into his home.

"Brother, you're finally back. I checked, and this phone costs over ten thousand—it's too expensive. Can we return it? I don't deserve to use something so pricey." Su Yingying held the phone out to Su Ming, looking like she loved it but felt terrible about the cost.

"Silly girl, it’s just a phone. Why wouldn't you deserve it? If it’s something you like, I would pluck the moon from the sky for you. Don't worry, this is money I earned honestly. It’s clean, not illegal, so just use it." Su Ming knew his sister was worried the money was illicit and that he might end up behind bars again, so he offered the explanation.

"But it's too expensive. And those undergarments—each one costs a thousand! It's too extravagant. Let's sell them; we could use the money for better things." Su Yingying still felt it was a wasteful luxury. She had only ever seen such expensive undergarments in malls and never dared to dream of them. Back when she lived in the dorms at school, she thought it was pricey when a roommate spent a few hundred on a set. She never expected her brother to buy her pieces costing thousands each, and so many of them at that.

"Silly girl, no more talk of this. I bought them for you, so you wear them. Once you graduate from college and find a good job, then you can earn money to spend on me."

Seeing his sister’s sensible nature, Su Ming felt a pang of heartache. He reached out and tapped her nose. However, when college was mentioned, Su Yingying lowered her head.

"I don't want to go to college anymore. My scores were too low, and even if I go, I’ll just be scraping by for a diploma from a mediocre school. Brother, let me make this decision for myself!" Her voice was so faint that it would have been impossible to hear if he hadn't been listening closely.

"Yingying, did you really think I wouldn't know that you were accepted into the Dance Department at Longzhou University of the Arts with a high score of seven hundred? As for the tuition, I will find a way. But you are absolutely not allowed to give up. If you do, I will have failed our parents, and I won’t have the face to see you again." Su Ming's tone was firm.

"Brother, do you not want me anymore? I'll go, I'll go, okay? Please don't abandon me." Suddenly, Su Yingying panicked. She could give up her studies and live a life of hardship, but she could never bear to leave her brother again. He was the only family she had left in this world. Tears welled up in her eyes, looking truly pitiful.

Su Ming pulled her into his arms. "Silly girl, how could I not want you? But you must listen to me when it comes to your education, do you understand?"

Su Yingying nodded repeatedly against his chest.

That night, Su Ming brewed medicine for his sister to take. According to his calculations, it would take effect in half a month. While she was fast asleep, he performed acupuncture to stimulate her dormant cells. During the treatment, however, his face turned icy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He discovered that his sister’s leg injury hadn't been an accidental fall; she had been cruelly sabotaged. There were excessive toxins remaining in her legs, and it was these toxins that were compressing her nerves and preventing cell regeneration, leading to her paralysis!

"Whoever did this to Yingying, once I find you, I will make sure you die without a burial place!" Su Ming growled in his heart.

...

Late at night, at the Tianya Haige Club in Longzhou City, in a luxury suite, the lights were dim and the air was thick with the scent of perfume and intoxicating music. Chen Liang sat on the sofa, sipping top-shelf red wine, with a hot-bodied woman in a bunny outfit sitting on his lap. She wore heavy makeup, but she was young, sexy, and full of vitality. Her black-stockinged legs—the kind that haunted the dreams of countless men—were being wantonly fondled by Chen Liang’s large hands.

The girl blushed, her heart racing, murmuring softly. "Young Master Chen, I'm so hot. Let's go and rest." She wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes hazy and shimmering like a pool of water.

"Heh heh, you little vixen, so eager for my favor, are you? Get on your knees first and put this on." Chen Liang pulled out a collar attached to a chain and tossed it to her. The girl didn't hesitate to put it
