Bai Chenglong was so startled by Lin Xiao’s "Wait a mont" that he nearly collapsed. For so reason, he wasn’t just terrified of seeing Lin Xiao anymore; even the sound of his voice filled him with dread.
He slowly turned around and asked tremblingly, "Is... is there anything else?"
"Take Bai Chengfeng with you," Lin Xiao said coldly.
Bai Chenglong froze for a mont before quickly bending down to pick up Bai Chengfeng’s body. He then hurried out of the security room without a backward glance.
Pei Donglai imdiately started cleaning the blood that had splattered from Bai Chengfeng. anwhile, Lin Xiao made a call to Xiao Shixiong.
Xiao Shixiong answered instantly. "Boss, your orders?"
"Bai Chengfeng is dead, and Bai Chenglong is severing ties with the Bai Family. It’s ti to move against them," Lin Xiao stated, his tone remarkably calm.
But to Xiao Shixiong, the words struck like a clap of thunder.
Bai Chengfeng’s death was trivial. But Bai Chenglong was the Soldier King of the Western Region Military District, backed by the entire command. For him to now draw a line with the Bai Family... what did that an? It ant Lin Xiao had definitely made a move. Forcing the esteed Soldier King of the Western Region Military District to sever ties with his own family was no simple feat.
Does that an Lin Xiao single-handedly confronted the entire Western Region Military District? And won? In that case, his background couldn’t be as simple as being the Young Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.
"Boss, rest assured, I’ll handle this imdiately!"
Lin Xiao grunted in acknowledgnt. "Show no rcy."
"Understood!"
Lin Xiao hung up. Pei Donglai was fast; he had already cleaned the security room until it was spotless.
"Captain, what else do you need to do?" Pei Donglai asked respectfully.
Lin Xiao suddenly asked, "Are you upset about what happened to Bai Chenglong?"
Pei Donglai was stunned for a mont, then shook his head. "I’m just a little heartbroken. He was actually very talented; otherwise, he couldn’t have beco the Soldier King of the Western Region Military District in such a short ti. He should have had a much brighter future, but unfortunately, he grew arrogant. If he had just stuck to the plan I laid out for him, in ten years—or maybe even less—he could have easily beco the new War God of the Western Region Military District."
Pei Donglai’s voice was even, but it was filled with regret.
Lin Xiao nodded. "He chose his own path. He has no one to bla but himself."
Pei Donglai grunted in agreent.
"Your identity has been exposed, so I’m afraid a lot of people will be looking for you. What now? Do you want to go back to the military?"
Pei Donglai shook his head and said with great seriousness, "Captain, I actually think it’s great working with you. As for the military, I don’t want to go back for now. But if you want to, I will."
Lin Xiao smiled. "I won’t interfere in your life. It’s your path to walk. If you want to go back, go back. If you want to stay, stay. Whatever you decide, I’ll support you."
Pei Donglai looked at Lin Xiao gratefully. "Thank you, Captain!"
"Alright, enough of this sentintal stuff. Focus your efforts on the bar renovation."
"Don’t worry, Captain, I will!"
"Okay, get to it."
Pei Donglai acknowledged the order and left the security room.
Lin Xiao called Su Qingning. He hadn’t seen her for a few hours, and to his surprise, he found himself actually missing her. The call went unanswered.
Lin Xiao then called Shao i’er. After a few rings, she picked up.
"Stinky Daddy, you miss ?" Shao i’er’s seductive voice purred through the phone.
"Where are you guys?"
"Stinky Daddy, you’re coming over?" Shao i’er asked, sounding delighted.
"Mhm, I miss my wife. I’m coming to see her."
"Hmph, you play favorites. Even though I’m just a concubine, I’m still your girl. How co you never miss ?" Shao i’er pouted.
Lin Xiao laughed and scolded, "Stop flirting and give the address!"
Pfft. Shao i’er broke into a seductive giggle. She was leaning lazily against a wall, her foxy face exuding a tantalizing charm.
"Stinky Daddy, I just want to flirt with you, can’t I? Besides, you’re the only one I ever want to flirt with."
Lin Xiao was speechless. Honestly, if he hadn’t t Su Qingning first, slept with her, and left a part of his cultivation inside her body, Lin Xiao wasn’t sure he could resist this woman’s allure. The lethal charm of Jinling City’s number one stunner was no joke.
"Alright, enough playing around. Send the address."
"Okay, I’ll send it to you right away!"
Lin Xiao hung up. When he arrived at the beauty salon, he spotted Shao i’er standing at the entrance. She was clearly waiting for him.
The mont he stepped out of the car, Shao i’er threw herself into his arms. An alluring fragrance washed over him, along with the press of her impressive peaks. Lin Xiao’s heart hamred in his chest and he instinctively tried to push her away, but Shao i’er only hugged him tighter.
"Stinky Daddy, just let hug you for a little bit! It’s been so long!"
"Damn it, we’re just friends! What are you doing hugging like this? Besides, my wife will get angry if she sees this, and I don’t want to upset her."
Shao i’er lifted her head, her watery, enchanting eyes looking at him pitifully. "Stinky Daddy, you have the heart to make sad?"
"Do you even have a heart?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
"Of course, I do! If you don’t believe , you can feel for yourself!" As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Xiao’s hand and guided it toward her chest.
Lin Xiao’s senses flared. Damn it all, this wasn’t about feeling her heart; she was making him touch her magnificent peaks.
Lin Xiao yanked his hand back and pushed her away.
"Shao i’er, you’re such a pervert," Lin Xiao said. "Co on, take to my wife."
Shao i’er just giggled, looping her arm through his and leading him into the salon. The salon’s decor was quite upscale.
"You own this place?" Lin Xiao asked.
Shao i’er nodded with a smile. "Yep. I already gave The Madam a mbership card. She can co whenever she wants, free of charge."
She looked at Lin Xiao, practically begging for praise, but he pointedly ignored her.
Shao i’er quickly led him to a private room. Su Qingning was lying on a bed while a sweet-faced girl massaged her head.
The mont she saw Lin Xiao, Su Qingning froze, and an inexplicable joy blood in her heart. But all she said, feigning indifference, was, "What are you doing here?"
"I missed my wife, so I ca to see her," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Su Qingning huffed playfully. "Hmph, smooth talker."
Lin Xiao waved a hand at the girl giving the massage, and she quickly excused herself. Seeing this, Shao i’er also slipped out with a smile.
Lin Xiao walked over to Su Qingning’s side. She instinctively started to sit up, but Lin Xiao was faster, gently resting a hand on her head before she could move.
"Don’t move. Let your husband give you a massage."
"No!"
"Be good. My massage skills are pretty decent, you know. Just let try."
