Chapter 149
The Most Powerful Cultivator of the Younger Generation!
Zhou Qin glared at He Shao, who now had one hand inside Ding Nan’s skirt . His other hand had slipped under Ding Nan’s blouse and was now fondling Ding Nan’s breast .
Zhou Qin clenched her jaw .
"I said stop!" Zhou Qin growled .
That finally did the trick .
He Shao stopped what he was doing and looked up at Zhou Qin .
Zhou Qin approached the bed slowly, her glare never once leaving He Shao’s face .
"What is the aning of this eh, Zhou Qin? I thought we had a deal," He Shao said once Zhou Qin had stopped beside the bed .
"I changed my mind . "
"What!"
"Let . Her . Go," Zhou Qin said in an icy tone .
He Shao released Ding Nan and leaped up from the bed . "Are you out of your goddamn mind—"
SMACK!
Oh boy, that felt good . She’d been wanting to do that for a long, long ti .
Zhou Qin glared at He Shao, who was holding his left cheek . His expression was that of utter disbelief .
"Y- You . . . You slapped . . . "
Zhou Qin shoved He Shao aside and reached for one of Ding Nan’s arms . Then, she pulled until Ding Nan’s torso rose into a sitting position on the bed .
"Hang in there, okay?" Zhou Qin whispered into Ding Nan’s ear . Then, she slung Ding Nan’s arm around her shoulders . "Now get up and walk . "
Zhou Qin rose from the bed, pulling Ding Nan with her . When Ding Nan complied without any resistance, Zhou Qin sighed inwardly . Thank God she can still stand up .
Otherwise, Zhou Qin had no idea how to get Ding Nan out of there without drawing unnecessary attention . Calling the hotel staff for help would just be a scandal waiting to happen: Deputy Director Zhou’s daughter caught her fiancé spending the night with another young woman, who also happened to be her close friends .
The reporters were going to have a field day .
At the bedroom door, Zhou Qin ca to a halt and glanced over at He Shao . "I suggest you clean up your act, He Shao . " Zhou Qin gave him a cold stare . "Like I said, no evil deed goes unpunished . I’d watch my back if I were you . "
Then, Zhou Qin dragged Ding Nan out of the room without waiting for He Shao’s response . The truth was that Zhou Qin wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible . She couldn’t stand the sight of He Shao . The man gave her the creeps, and that was saying sothing because Zhou Qin could literally count on her fingers the number of things that frightened her . Case in point: she could stare down gangsters and murderers without batting an eye .
Gangsters and murderers were one thing . But He Shao? That man was another kind of evil . One of the worst kind .
Zhou Qin made it out of Room 1503 without much difficulty . Outside the door, a sniffing sound made her stop . She turned her head and realized that Ding Nan had begun crying . Then, as though sensing Zhou Qin’s gaze on her, Ding Nan glared at her .
"Don’t think I’d start feeling indebted to you just because you ca back for . . . "
"I don’t care about your gratitude," Zhou Qin snapped and kept walking forward . Liar, a voice inside her head supplented . The truth was that Zhou Qin cared . Despite the initial deal they’d made with each other, Zhou Qin had really co to care for Ding Nan . Not that Ding Nan would know, since Zhou Qin had never overtly showed that she cared .
Ding Nan no doubt thought that Zhou Qin was just a heartless bitch who only saw Ding Nan as nothing but a pawn . That, however, couldn’t be further than the truth . Ding Nan had no idea how many tis Zhou Qin had saved her ass over the years . No idea .
If Zhou Qin truly didn’t care, she wouldn’t have added a special clause in their agreent stating that Ding Nan should never—under any circumstances—sell her body for Zhou Qin . If Zhou Qin truly didn’t care, would she have intervened every ti those sleazy n tried to sleep with Ding Nan? Granted, her interventions were done in the shadows without anyone’s knowledge . But still, Ding Nan would’ve noticed it if she wasn’t so blinded by her own hatred and jealousy .
They trudged along the long hallway, walking past door after door .
"M- M- Mark my words . . . " Ding Nan mumbled . "I’ll destroy you the next ch- chance I get . . . "
A stab of hurt shot through Zhou Qin’s chest, but she clenched her jaw and ignored it .
"Bring it on then," Zhou Qin said . "I can take whatever you dish out . "
Finally, they reached the elevators . Zhou Qin slapped the elevator call button and waited until a ding announced the elevator’s arrival . They stumbled into the elevator . When the doors slid shut, Zhou Qin hesitated for a mont before she pressed number 18 .
They rode in silence until the elevator doors opened to the eighteenth floor a minute later .
Zhou Qin dragged Ding Nan out of the elevator, stopping in front of the elevator . She craned her neck and stared along the long hallway . If I’m not mistaken, there should be a few staff doing rounds on this floor . . . There!
"Excuse !" Zhou Qin yelled .
A man in uniform paused in the hallway and did a double take .
"Yes? Can I help you, miss?"
Zhou Qin waved at the man .
The man pushed the cart over and stopped in front of them . "Is everything alright, miss?" he asked, eyeing Ding Nan warily .
Zhou Qin offered a gold card to the man and said, "I need you to give access to a room . This lady here is unwell . "
The man bowed slightly, though he didn’t take the card . "I’m terribly sorry, miss . The hotel’s policy requires that you present your identity docunts at the concierge’s counter to make a formal booking—"
"Just do as I say!" Zhou Qin snapped . The man flinched at Zhou Qin’s sharp tone and stared back at her in shock .
Zhou Qin shut her eyes and took a deep breath .
"Please . . . " Zhou Qin said in a calr tone . "This is an ergency . My friend here is unwell, and she needs to lie down imdiately . I’ll go down the reception as soon as I get her settled in a room . "
The man’s face softened . "Alright, miss . Co this way . "

"Arrrrggghhh! F*ck you, Zhou Qin!" He Shao grabbed the lamp beside the bed and smashed it against the wall . "F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!!!!!"
Another series of crash sounded as He Shao began to smash any object he could find in the bedroom: the tea cups; the tea pot; the saucers; the phone; the TV remote; the ashtray .
At one point, He Shao picked up a chair and hurled it towards the TV mounted on the wall . A loud crash sounded followed by He Shao’s angry roar .
"F*ck! Why do you always have to get in my way, Zhou Qin! Why!"
Just then, the bedroom door swung open, and the hotel’s senior manager rushed inside .
"H- He Shao . . . What is the matter?" the manager asked in a careful tone .
He Shao turned around abruptly and glared at the manager .
"What’s the matter with ? You have to f*cking ask?"
The manager flinched slightly .
"Arrrggh!! I’m f*cking angry is what it is! F*ck!!!!" He Shao slamd his fist against the wall .
"P- Please calm yourself, He Shao," said the hotel manager in an—no doubt futile—attempt in placation . "You need to mind your health . It’s not worth sacrificing your health over this matter, whatever it is . "
He Shao huffed loudly and gave the manager a dismissive wave . "Get out of here and leave the f*ck alone!"
"He Shao . . . " the hotel manager said in a careful tone . "May I ask who made you this angry? Maybe I can help you deal with them, whoever they are . "
Those word managed to grab He Shao’s attention . He Shao suddenly turned his head to regard the hotel manager curiously . Seconds later, a contemptuous smile ford on He Shao’s face . "The likes of you? Deal with him?" He Shao laughed derisively . "Trust , that guy could end you with just a finger . "
The manager bowed slightly . "In that case, is there anything else I can do for you He Shao? Although I’m just a lowly manager, there are still a few errands that I can run for you . Who knows they might help soothe your anger . "
He Shao yanked his collar a few tis . "Bring two girls to . "
The hotel manager smiled . "Ah . Two girls, you say? Right away, sir . "
"And I want new faces this ti!" He Shao snapped . "I’m bored with most of your female staff already!"
The hotel manager’s eyes widened slightly as though he’d just rembered sothing . Slowly, the manager approached He Shao and whispered sothing into his ear .
Seconds later, He Shao’s eyes glinted brightly .
"Twins, you said? Hah! Not bad! Bring them here!"
The hotel manager smiled . "Right away, sir . "
Ten minutes later, the manager returned to the room with a conflicted look on his face .
"He Shao . . . The twins refused to co . . . "
He Shao sprang to his feet . "What the f*ck did you say?!"
The hotel manager flinched . "The twins are actually university students . They’re our new part-ti employees . Today is their first day on the job—"
"Shut the f*ck up, you motherf*cker!" He Shao pointed a finger at the manager’s face . "Do you know that over 99% of the won in this building started out as prostitutes? You think I have no idea that this entire f*cking hotel is just a brothel for high-ranking governnt officials?" He Shao laughed derisively . "How the f*ck do you think Shengyuan Hotel managed to last until today without being shut down by the police, hmm?" He Shao suddenly pointed a thumb at himself . "Yeah, that’s right . Because of . For years, I’m the one who’s been covering up for you dumbasses! And now you’re telling that you can’t even do one thing right for ? Seriously? Not even one thing right? After everything I did for you in the past?" He Shao shook his head in disgust . "Try again! I don’t care what ans you use . Just bring the twins . "
The hotel manager bowed . "Y- Yes, He Shao . Right away . "

Li Yundong stared at Su Chan’s slightly bulging tummy . Granted, Su Chan hadn’t wolfed down all the food on the table, but she still ca pretty close . Li Yundong chuckled and gave Su Chan’s stomach a few not-too-gentle pokes .
Su Chan burped .
Li Yundong’s gaze snapped to Su Chan’s face, where a rosy tint had ford .
"S- S- Sorry . . . " Su Chan mumbled .
Li Yundong chuckled and glanced down at her stomach again . "Tsk, tsk, tsk . Look at the size of that tummy," he said jokingly . "How many months pregnant?"
Su Chan pressed a finger under her chin . "Hmm . . . "
Li Yundong grinned at her .
"Three months!" Su Chan announced proudly, then gave Li Yundong a playful glance . "You must take responsibility for and our child, beloved . "
Li Yundong feigned a look of surprise . "Three months, you say?"
Su Chan bobbed her head up and down . "Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!"
Sothing warm blood inside Li Yundong’s heart . Cute . So damn cute . . .
Li Yundong nodded as though he was impressed by the knowledge . "Three months, huh?" Li Yundong smiled and leaned his ear against her tummy . "Let’s see if I can hear the baby kicking . "
Su Chan giggled and smacked Li Yundong’s head . "You dummy!" She giggled so more . "The baby would only be thumb-sized at three months!"
Li Yundong rose to his feet and feigned an affronted look . He narrowed his eyes and tickled Su Chan’s side . "Well, you seem to know a lot about pregnancies . Tell the truth . . . " he growled playfully . "Who the heck is the father, hmm?"
Su Chan giggled and tried to twist away from his touch, but Li Yundong pulled her into his arms .
Su Chan yelped, then glanced around warily . "L- Let go . . . P- People . . . People are watching . . . "
Who cares if people are watching? Li Yundong was here to keep President Cao safe, not to impress a bunch of snobs . As long as he didn’t let President Cao out of his sight, he could tease Su Chan all he wanted .
The alarm bells rang inside Li Yundong’s head the mont he felt Su Chan’s body tense up in his arms . He glanced down worriedly . "Hey, what’s the matter?"
Su Chan’s face was now drained of color and her lips were quivering . "Oh, God . . . Oh, God . . . "
Li Yundong’s blood ran cold . "Hey!" he hissed, shaking Su Chan’s shoulders . "Are you okay?"
Su Chan stared up at him with hazy eyes . She looked like she was about to pass out, or have a panic attack .
"D- Divine . . . "
Li Yundong felt his stomach drop . "What?"
"D- Divine Aura . . . "
Li Yundong’s scalp tingled, and he started scanning the room for threats . Was Ruan Hongling here? Was—
"Oh God, she’s here . . . She’s here for . " Su Chan hid herself inside Li Yundong’s arms .
"Ruan Hongling?" Li Yundong kept looking around . "But I don’t see her?"
"Not her," Su Chan whispered . "Ruan Hongling is just a small fly compared to her . . . "
Li Yundong clenched his jaw . "Okay . Then we gotta leave now . I’ll tell President Cao right now and we can—"
Su Chan shook her head and gave Li Yundong a look of grave resignation .
"It’s pointless, Yundong . We won’t be able to outrun her . She’s too powerful . She’s not widely acknowledged as the most powerful Cultivator of the younger generation for nothing . "
"We have to try," Li Yundong said and started making a beeline towards the entrance .
However, he had barely taken two steps before a voice behind his back made him stop .
"So we finally et, Jindan’s Heir . "
