Chapter 158: Brother-in-law, Be a Little Gentler

"Holy shit!!"

Xu Feifan cupped the jet-black card in his hands. He stood frozen in place for a full ten seconds, as if he’d been struck by lightning, his mind racing.

The black card of the Zhou Family from the Cyan Dragon Gang!

’He knew all too well what this thing was worth!’

In the underworld of Zhonghai City, the name of the Zhou Family and their Cyan Dragon Gang carried an overwhelming weight.

This jet-black card, imprinted with the totem of a cyan dragon, was the stuff of legends. Rumor had it that in all of Zhonghai City, no more than five people possessed one.

Every cardholder was a guest of utmost importance to the Zhou Family, a person of extraordinary status.

’How could something like this be in a private room at the bath center?’

Xu Feifan stared in disbelief, his eyes glued to the card with the greed of someone who’d just found a mountain of gold.

His mind started racing.

’Anyone who owns a card like this has to be a top dog in Zhonghai.’

’But why would someone of that caliber come to a place like the Suiyue Bath Center?’

’The decor here was decent enough, but it was in a completely different league from the truly exclusive clubs. Those big shots could get any high-end service they wanted with a snap of their fingers. Why would they bother coming to a hole-in-the-wall like this?’

’Unless...’

Xu Feifan’s eyes shifted, and an image of Liu Mei suddenly flashed through his mind.

’Right, Liu Mei!’

’Before he passed, Liu Mei’s husband had been a prominent figure in the Zhonghai City business community. And even though he’d been dead for over two years, he had left her a sizable inheritance. Liu Mei was known around Zhonghai as a very wealthy woman.’

’Plus, Liu Mei was one of the shareholders of this bath center, so it was perfectly normal for her to be here.’

’Could it be... that the black card is Liu Mei’s?’

The more Xu Feifan thought about it, the more sense it made. ’Liu Mei inherited her husband’s connections and assets. Maybe she’s gotten in with the Zhou Family over the past two years and managed to get her hands on this black card.’

’After all, Liu Mei was just in this very room—Private Room 3!’

’The card slid right out from the creases of the massage table!’

’It has to be hers!’

Xu Feifan slapped his thigh, his face flush with excitement. ’Otherwise, why would a big shot with a black card come to a bath center like this? Only Liu Mei, one of the owners, would be here all the time!’

Having come to this conclusion, Xu Feifan’s breathing grew ragged. His eyes were fixed on the black card, his pupils reflecting the lifelike cyan dragon totem, his greed on full display.

’I’m rich! I’m rich!!’

Xu Feifan was so excited he spun around twice, his face ecstatic. He lowered his voice, muttering, ’I was just worrying about how to get money to win back my losses, and then a prize just falls from the sky!!’

He had lost a lot at the casinos recently and was desperate for a chance to win it back, but he was short on cash and couldn’t afford the stakes. He had actually come to the bath center today to hit up Meng Qiaofei for some spending money.

But he never, ever expected that fate would drop a Zhou Family black card right into his lap!

’I heard that you can take this card to Zhonghai Bank and withdraw ten million in cash!’

Xu Feifan’s eyes shone and his voice trembled with greed. ’Ten million!! With that money, I’ll go straight to the casino and win tens of millions! Luxury cars, mansions... they’ll all be mine for the taking!’

At that thought, Xu Feifan could no longer contain his excitement. He carefully tucked the black card inside his shirt, pressing it against his chest. He quickly put on his shoes, hopped off the massage table, and rushed toward the door.

BANG!

He shoved the door open violently and rushed out of the room, sprinting toward the end of the hall.

"Where are you going?"

However, he had only taken a few steps before running headfirst into Meng Qiaofei.

Meng Qiaofei had just seen Liu Mei out and was on her way back to check on Xu Feifan. She hadn’t expected to round the corner and see him bursting out of Private Room 3 in a panic. He was in such a frantic hurry, he looked like his pants were on fire.

"No massage, I’m not getting one! I have something to do!"

Xu Feifan didn’t even look back. He kept running, waving a hand dismissively as his voice drifted back down the hall.

"Wait!"

Meng Qiaofei frowned and took a few quick steps after him. "Didn’t you say your shoulder hurt and you wanted a massage? Why the change of heart? What did you really come here for?"

"I just remembered something important! I’ll come back another time!"

Xu Feifan’s voice echoed from the end of the hall, followed by the BANG of the main door swinging open and shut.

He was gone.

Meng Qiaofei stood in the middle of the hallway, frowning in the direction of his hasty departure.

’Strange.’

’She knew Xu Feifan all too well. He usually only came to the bath center to ask for money or scrounge a free massage. Today he’d left without getting one, and in such a panic...’

’Something felt wrong.’

’But she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.’

Shaking her head, Meng Qiaofei pushed the suspicion aside for now. She had more important things to do—she needed to tell Xu Qian and Yang Xun that Liu Mei had agreed to the "duck project."

Meng Qiaofei hurried back to the general manager’s office on the second floor. When she pushed the door open, she found the room empty. Yang Xun and Xu Qian were gone.

’Where did those two run off to?’

Meng Qiaofei stood frozen, her eyes filled with confusion.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Deep in a thicket of trees on the outskirts of Zhonghai City.

The evening sun filtered down through the dense leaves, dappling the ground with light and shadow. Besides the occasional birdsong, it was as quiet as a hidden, isolated paradise.

A white sedan was parked beside a small path deep in the woods, perfectly concealed by the thick shade and completely invisible from the outside.

The car’s interior wasn’t particularly spacious, but it was filled with a thick, almost suffocating, amorous tension.

Xu Qian straddled Yang Xun’s lap, her arms wrapped around his neck. They were locked in a deep, passionate kiss, as if trying to devour one another.

In a pause between kisses, Xu Qian’s alluring eyes were half-lidded and hazy with desire. Her lips, swollen and red, were as tempting as ripe peaches.

Yang Xun’s hands slid slowly down from Xu Qian’s waist. His palms roamed over her firm, smooth skin, finally coming to rest on her plump, firm buttocks, which he kneaded greedily.

"Mmm..." Xu Qian let out a soft moan, her whole body trembling as if from an electric shock. The arms wrapped around Yang Xun’s neck tightened, pressing herself even closer against him.

A thin layer of condensation fogged the windows, blurring the two figures inside into an entwined silhouette.

Yang Xun’s fingers deftly undid the buttons on Xu Qian’s white blouse. He peeled the troublesome garment from her body, revealing the stunning, pulse-pounding figure beneath.

Next, his hands moved toward the waistband of her black miniskirt...

"Wait..."

Xu Qian suddenly stopped his hand. Though her eyes were hazy with passion, a sliver of reason remained. "You... you should fold down the back seat first..." she panted. "It’s too cramped..."

"Okay!"

Yang Xun reached over and folded the seat back down. Instantly, the rear space became much more spacious.

He gently laid her down on the back seat. Her long hair fanned out across the beige leather, setting off her exquisite, bewitching face and making it all the more breathtaking.

"Ah... Brother-in-law... be gentle..."

The moment Yang Xun slowly entered her, a violent tremor wracked Xu Qian’s body. Her hands gripped the edge of the seat as a long, delicate moan escaped her lips, echoing through the small car, utterly bewitching.
