Hu Qian didn't dare sit next to Zhao Qiang because the person closest to him was Xu Xiaoya, who had just returned from home in the afternoon and would definitely not leave that evening, which meant that their relationship was about to escalate.
Zhao Qiang asked Yang Jie, "What is your relationship with Wang Xiaoliang?"
Yang Jie finally got a clue. "Are you Wang Xiaoliang's friends? I really don't know where he is now. I've looked for him several times but I can't find him."
Zhao Qiang said, "Answer whatever they ask you, or you'll suffer."
The two soldiers escorting Yang Jie pressed his neck down. Presumably, Yang Jie had suffered a lot on the way, so he obediently bowed his head and confessed, "Yes, yes, Wang Xiaoliang and I have only drunk together a few times. Sometimes he asks me to deal with disobedient students."
Zhao Qiang picked up the intercom and called Wang Meng, "Mengzi, come over here for a second."
Wang Meng pulled open the office door and entered. He usually didn't go into this office because there were too many women inside. Entering this office was almost Zhao Qiang's privilege. Whenever he came in and saw a beautiful woman dressed too provocatively, Wang Meng would blush so hard he could boil an egg.
Yang Jie was startled when he saw Wang Meng. "You, you?"
Wang Meng didn't actually know Yang Jie. Yang Jie knew Wang Meng through a photo. He helped Wang Xiaoliang introduce business. How could he do this if he didn't know the target? He still doesn't know that the mission failed. He only knows that when he went to inquire about that family, they were nowhere to be found, and Wang Xiaoliang was also gone. He even tried to blackmail Wang Xiaoliang for some money, but he failed.
Zhao Qiang said to Wang Meng, "Didn't Wang Xiaoliang say last night that he found the assassin through Yang Jie? This is Yang Jie."
Yang Jie said to Wang Meng, "Are you really not dead? You saw Wang Xiaoliang? This has nothing to do with me. I was just paid to make contact for someone."
Wang Meng said nothing. He simply stood to the side, playing with a few black marbles. If Zhao Qiang gave the order, he would definitely cripple Yang Jie. Zhao Qiang had only sent him to scare Yang Jie; if necessary, the two soldiers weren't suitable to act, and they would be punished if investigated. Zhao Qiang remained silent, and Xu Xiaoya and Yang Shiqi were even less likely to say anything. Yang Jie felt the atmosphere was cold. He couldn't hold out for more than three minutes. He had already done what he could to resist. Now, in the hands of the soldiers, if he didn't confess honestly, he would likely die. Zhao Qiang's summoning of Wang Meng had already signaled to Yang Jie that he only needed to confess to anything related to Wang Meng.
"I'll tell you everything, but you have to promise to spare my life," Yang Jie began to bargain.
Zhao Lou said, "You have no choice. Do you know I could just kill you and report you as a missing person?"
Yang Jie would never have believed this before, but since the other party had deployed military forces, if they really wanted to report it as a missing person, the local government would have to accept it. His expression changed, and he could only obediently explain, "One day before the New Year, I was drinking with Wang Xiaoliang. I noticed he was very unhappy, so I asked him what had happened. He said someone had stolen his girlfriend. I said he could just get her back, but Wang Xiaoliang said no, that guy was too strong. He even hired a skilled 'monkey,' but they still failed and he was cheated out of several hundred yuan. Now he wants to find someone to kill him to vent his anger."
"Monkey" was Wang Meng's nickname. Yang Jie's words should be true, so Zhao Qiang didn't interrupt him and let him continue. "Back then, I took in a master at the factory. It's said that he used to do well in the south, but somehow he offended someone and came to the north to make a living. So I decided to give Wang Xiaoliang 20,000 yuan to help him close a deal. The plan was for that master from the south to first kill Monkey to save face for Wang Xiaoliang, and then help Wang Xiaoliang get his woman back. However, that so-called master probably messed things up, so he didn't go back to the factory, and now I can't find him."
Hu Qian's expression turned serious as she asked, "What does this expert from the South you mentioned look like, and what is his name?"
Although Yang Jie coveted Hu Qian's beautiful breasts, he didn't dare to look too much, as his life was still in the other party's hands. "I haven't known that so-called expert from the South for long. He said his surname was Leng and his name was Leng Bing. I don't know if the name is true or false, but he does have those two characters written on his ID card. He looks very ordinary, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. He looks simple and neat, and he never beats around the bush. He has a short, high-bridged nose."
Volume 2 [230] The Masters of the South
Qian said to Yang Shiqi, "It should be the Cold-Faced Green Fox Liu." Yang Shiqi asked Yang Jie, "Where is Leng Bing now?"
Yang Jie said, "I really don't know. He disappeared after agreeing to kill Monkey. I couldn't find him either. I was originally planning to get some kickback from his 20,000 yuan, but I wasted all my time. Later, I was so angry that I wanted to go to Wang Xiaoliang to ask for some referral fee, but I didn't expect that guy to have disappeared as well. I went to Monkey's house, but I didn't see him and thought he was really dead. At that time, I was convinced that Leng Bing had killed someone and fled for his life, and that Wang Xiaoliang was afraid of being implicated in this matter, so he also ran away to another place to avoid trouble. I didn't expect that Monkey was not dead at all, so I have no responsibility."
Zhao Qiang said to Yang Shiqi, "Lock him in the military camp first. If there's nothing else, let him go. If we find out he lied to us or is hiding something, I think we should just euthanize him. Such scum is a burden on society."
Yang Jie knelt down with a thud. "Spare me, spare me! I really didn't lie to you, it's all true. I was drunk and didn't recognize your greatness. Monkey, for the sake of us being from the same hometown, please plead for me."
Wang Meng certainly wouldn't plead for Yang Jie; this guy almost got him killed. If Zhao Qiang hadn't given the order, Wang Meng would have gone and beaten him up long ago.
Two soldiers took the man away on Yang Shiqi's orders. Zhao Qiang tapped the table silently. He had thought that finding Yang Jie would clarify things, but now it seemed unclear. Although he knew the assassin's name, he still didn't know his whereabouts. Moreover, the experts in the south seemed to be quite famous, but Zhao Qiang knew nothing about them.
Hu Qian began, “The most powerful family in the South is the Chen Kezong family, which is similar in nature to the several red families in the North. However, they have long resided in southern cities and have never interfered in matters in the North. I had previously guessed that the assassin was a master from the South, but I did not know his exact identity. It turns out that he is the Cold-Faced Green Fox, who ranks fifth among the six masters. However, Yang Jie said that he offended someone. Could it be that there is internal strife within the Chen family in the South? Otherwise, how could one of the six masters, who has always been loyal, fall into trouble?”
Yang Shiqi no longer hid anything from Zhao Qiang, saying, "Hu Qian mentioned the Chen family in the South and the assassins to me before. I also paid attention to it for a while, but later found that they hadn't made any moves at all. It seems that Yang Jie's reason for coming to the North to find a way to make a living because he offended people in the South is valid."
Zhao Qiang was troubled by these high-level issues. He wasn't good at scheming and only wanted everything to be done openly and honestly, but things just wouldn't go his way. Even after learning the assassin's name and identity, he couldn't find him. "Forget about your mansion. Keep an eye on this Cold-Faced Fox from now on, because I'm going to get revenge on him."
Yang Shiqi and Hu Qian nodded, but Xu Xiaoya, who had never been able to get a word in edgewise about such matters, disagreed. "Zhao Qiang, don't be impulsive! If you want revenge, you need to plan it carefully. Don't act rashly. What if you get in danger?"
Zhao Qiang said, "What are you worried about? He's in trouble now, and we have more people. We can wear him down with a series of attacks."
Xu Xiaoya remained silent. At this moment, Hu Qian and Yang Shiqi both supported Zhao Qiang. If she strongly opposed it, it would be disrespectful to Zhao Qiang as a man. However, Xu Xiaoya was determined to persuade Zhao Qiang to avoid conflict, fearing that he might be in danger. In fact, Hu Qian and Yang Shiqi knew more about Zhao Qiang's true strength than Xu Xiaoya did.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Qiang glanced at everyone.
Yang Shiqi shook her head decisively. She wouldn't say anything at this moment, even though she already had a plan in mind.
Hu Qian stood up and said, "I'll go back to the company to check; there are still a few documents I haven't reviewed."
Luo Wei stayed in her room without coming out, and all she had to do during this time was take care of the Yuan blue and white porcelain jar.
Before leaving, Yang Tanqi said to Zhao Qiang, "Two truckloads of supplies are arriving tonight. Make preparations."
Purification was no longer a big deal. Yang Shiqi always prepared plenty of food, and Zhao Qiang only had to stay up all night to finish the job. It was similar to working the night shift at a fast food restaurant before, so he didn't feel it was too hard.
Everyone had left, and Xu Xiaoya was somewhat sullen, sitting alone at her desk flipping through documents. Zhao Qiang sat opposite her, and the two initially remained silent, occasionally stealing glances at each other. The atmosphere slowly built up, and finally, Zhao Qiang quietly moved closer. This time, he mustered his courage and hugged Xu Xiaoya from behind. Her full breasts, of course, couldn't compare to Hu Qian's, but their fullness still greatly pleased Zhao Qiang. Furthermore, Xu Xiaoya's body fragrance was different from Hu Qian's; it was like being used to abalone and then trying shark fin soup – a unique and pleasant experience.
Xu Xiaoya blushed and lowered her head. Her heart was pounding. This was the first time Zhao Qiang had ever hugged her so boldly and proactively, and his hands were groping her breasts. At this time, the girls were all wearing short-sleeved shirts, with only thin bras underneath. You can imagine how sensitive they were.
"Ya Zhaoqiang called out in Xu Xiaoya's ear, and Xu Xiaoya responded softly, "Mmm." She liked hugging Zhaoqiang like this, and she liked being hugged by Zhaoqiang even more, especially when Zhaoqiang's hands were placed on her breasts, giving her a full and stimulating feeling, as well as a strong sense of belonging, making her feel that she was Zhaoqiang's woman. Zhaoqiang forcefully squeezed her full breasts a couple of times, and the deformation of her breasts could be seen through her bra. Xu Xiaoya was very ashamed, and she closed her eyes, not daring to look at her breasts being played with by Zhaoqiang. Her breathing was rapid, and her breath sprayed on Zhaoqiang's feet, making Zhaoqiang feel waves of heat. As Zhaoqiang squeezed and played with them, he said, "Have you 'used' them?" This question was really too lewd.
Xu Xiaoya snorted: "You're so annoying! You still remember things from the past. Wei didn't do it on purpose; it was just an act for that bastard Zhang Lingfeng. Who knew you'd believe it? You're not really angry, are you? Girls don't need to be so serious."
Zhao Qiang grinned mischievously: "You guys put on a show for Zhang Lingfeng but not for me. I'm jealous."
Xu Xiaoya was furious. She lowered her head and bit Zhao Qiang's arm: "We didn't take off our clothes. We were just doing a move. You're so bad. I think you just want to see Wei's breasts. You're used to big ones and want to try something new?"
Zhao Qiang was startled and hurriedly protested, "I'm innocent, squad leader! I never meant to!"
Xu Xiaoya gently touched the teeth marks on Zhao Qiang's arm. "I know you just like to tease me, so I tease you too. Do you know how much I miss you in Beijing? I often have insomnia at night."
Zhao Qiang said, "Of course I know. We video chat every day. What else did you promise me? You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?"
Xu Xiaoya blushed and said, "But you don't have time tonight. Yang Shiqi wouldn't have deliberately chosen a day like this, would she? The night before last we helped Wei repair the Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, and last night I had to go back to be with my parents. She never gives us any time alone together."
Zhao Qiang kneaded the two large mounds of flesh, feeling extremely comfortable. Moreover, since this was the first time he had been so unrestrained with Xu Xiaoya, and the action was intensely stimulating, his heart was pounding uncontrollably. He fantasized about his usually aloof class monitor squatting in front of him and doing that thing, and he was on the verge of collapse. His body trembled slightly as he said, "There's still time. Shall we try? Judging from my current feeling, I estimate it will only take a moment or two to finish. It won't take you long."
Xu Xiaoya blushed and tapped Zhao Qiang's arm, "Try what? Wei's inside!" Actually, Xu Xiaoya hadn't told Zhao Qiang something. She had secretly tried it, but poor Zhao Qiang slept like a log, enjoying what he considered the most exciting and manly service without even knowing it! He was often blackmailed by Xu Xiaoya into performing a bodybuilding dance or something similar, otherwise she wouldn't agree to his requests after returning from Beijing.
Zhao Qiang was completely out of control, pulling Xu Xiaoya's hand down her chest. Xu Xiaoya, who actually doted on Zhao Qiang more and didn't want to upset him, reluctantly slipped her hand under his belt and into his pants. Her fingers touched the monster that woke her up every night, and her heart trembled. Unfortunately, before their passion could even begin, footsteps sounded from Luo Wei's room. Xu Xiaoya quickly withdrew her hand, and Zhao Qiang immediately abandoned his lewd hand on her breast. The two sat down formally at the desk, and Luo Wei entered.
"You two have caught a cold?" Luo Wei asked, puzzled. Both of them blushed and lowered their heads.
Xu Xiaoya made a hasty excuse: "A cold? No, the air conditioning isn't on in the room, it's so hot."
Luo Wei looked up and said, "Is it not open? It is. By the way, what are you two having for dinner? I'll make it."
Xu Xiaoya and Zhao Qiang said at the same time: "Whatever"
Luo Wei chuckled: "Without the 'casual' dish, it seems I'm in trouble tonight."
Luo Wei went to the kitchen, and Zhao Qiang returned to Xu Xiaoya's side. Xu Xiaoya kept her head down; she had already felt Zhao Qiang's gaze looming over her collar. She had been in too much of a rush earlier. Her breasts, barely concealed, were incredibly alluring, and Zhao Qiang's gaze gave Xu Xiaoya a strong sense of pleasure; she even felt an intense urge to let Zhao Qiang see her completely naked! It was a strange and shameful feeling.
"Don't go looking for any assassins from the South, okay?" Xu Xiaoya took the initiative to hug Zhao Qiang this time, but Zhao Qiang was standing while she was sitting, so when she hugged him, she could only rest her head on Zhao Qiang's chest and hug his waist.
Zhao Qiang affectionately patted Xu Xiaoya's head and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Xu Xiaoya said, "But I'm just worried. If you agree to this request, I'll agree to anything you ask."
Zhao Qiang had no choice but to say, "Alright, I promise you." But in his heart, he thought, "I won't go to him, but if he comes to me on his own initiative, that's a different story."
Xu Xiaoya, both shy and excited, stood up and took Zhao Qiang's hand, saying, "I bought a dress in Beijing to wear for you."
Zhao Qiang chuckled inwardly. The class monitor was probably looking for an excuse to take off his clothes. The relationship between the two was really something now. Ever since the misunderstanding about Zhang Lingfeng's rumors was cleared up, Xu Xiaoya had become more proactive. She knew that if she didn't take the initiative, Hu Qian would take advantage of the situation. In fact, she didn't know that someone had already taken advantage of the situation.
Qiang has never been so tired during the first month of the lunar calendar. He doesn't sleep until 2 a.m. every night and usually gets up around 5 a.m., sometimes busy visiting relatives during the day. But looking back, with the New Year approaching and the Lantern Festival just around the corner, Qiang feels a sense of accomplishment. To support his family and to earn more monthly votes, Qiang has decided to keep pushing! Qiang is only aiming for the first month's votes; next month, everyone can vote for other books they like. So, while wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival, Qiang is making one last plea for monthly votes. He doesn't dare hope for a top ranking; just staying at the bottom of the monthly vote list would be Qiang's greatest happiness and reward! Support the author...8 Yushuba for a different experience!
Volume 2 [231] Alone at the Birthday Banquet
"Wei cooks quite quickly, and besides, it's only for two people, so the meals are simple. When she called Zhao Qiang and his wife to eat, the two of them had just come out of Xu Xiaoya's bedroom, their faces flushed. Xu Xiaoya had changed into a new dress she bought in Beijing; it was indeed very sexy and beautiful, with a low neckline that revealed glimpses of her fair breasts. She only wore this dress at the repair shop. She wouldn't dare wear it outside, otherwise Xu Xiaoya was afraid Zhao Qiang would scold her again."
"Why are your faces even redder?" Luo Wei asked, somewhat puzzled. She was sure she was really sick with a fever, and in this respect, she was far inferior to her senior sister Xu Xiaoya.
Xu Xiaoya touched her cheek. "Is it red? I can't tell." She wiped a trace of liquid from the corner of her mouth, then playfully kicked Zhao Qiang, letting out a coquettish snort. Zhao Qiang picked up the conversation, saying, "Let's go eat, I'm hungry."
Xu Xiaoya said, "I'm not eating. I'm going to take a shower first. You guys eat."
Luo Wei said to Xu Xiaoya, "Aren't you going to eat? You'll be hungry tonight."
Zhao Qiang was quite smug. "It's alright, she's full. Let's eat first."
Xu Xiaoya kicked Zhao Qiang again, grabbed her change of clothes, and went into the bathroom. She hummed a happy song, her bliss radiating, making Luo Wei incredibly envious. Was this the magic of love?
After Zhao Qiang finished eating, he received a notification from Yang Shiqi that the supplies had arrived. Zhao Qiang immediately rushed to the military camp and worked through the night to extract the two cans of the substance. The military factory was waiting for the raw materials to be processed. Of course, after purification, Zhao Qiang usually kept his share for himself. Since he had already gotten used to stealing, suddenly increasing the weight of the purified substance would easily arouse Yang Shiqi's suspicion, so he might as well keep stealing until the end. Anyway, he didn't mind stealing more.
Zhao Qiang returned to his office in the early hours of the morning. Xu Xiaoya's room light was still on. Hearing the office door open, Xu Xiaoya ran out in her pajamas, "Zhao Qiang. Finished?"
Zhao Qiang nodded. He had lost even more weight. Although he hadn't stopped eating all night, he couldn't keep up with his spending. He always had to use up some of his energy reserves, which was why he couldn't fight continuously.
Xu Xiaoya had already prepared a change of clothes for Zhao Qiang. "Here, go take a shower, and you can rest for a while."
Zhao Qiang was sweating profusely; otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted an hour. When he returned to his office, Xu Xiaoya was standing at the bedroom door watching him. Before Xu Xiaoya could speak, Zhao Qiang put down his things, picked her up, and carried her into the bedroom. Having been through so much together and been classmates for four years, their feelings for each other were naturally much more complex than those for other girls.
Xu Xiaoya giggled. She had waited for Zhao Qiang all night, but felt no fatigue whatsoever. Thinking about their future together, and seeing Zhao Qiang lovingly embrace her, Xu Xiaoya was overjoyed. "Qiang," she said, "I feel like the six months of waiting were all worth it. You're so good to me. I feel so happy and safe by your side. I want you to always be there for me, like that time at the Holiday Inn, no matter how dangerous it is, you must always be there for me to make sure I'm not bullied by anyone and that I'm never in any danger."
Zhao Qiang said, "Of course. Now I want to make you even happier."
As he spoke, Zhao Qiang threw Xu Xiaoya onto the bed. Then he climbed on top of her, but Xu Xiaoya used her hands and feet to entangle Zhao Qiang's body. "No, it's almost dawn. Wei will wake up soon. Let's talk. There's no rush. I want a real night, not a hasty and rushed affair like this."
Zhao Qiang had already satisfied himself before dinner, so he wasn't in a hurry. Hearing Xu Xiaoya say that made him even happier to hold her. The two lay in bed cuddling, a feeling even more blissful than love.
Zhao Qiang reached for a cigarette, but Xu Xiaoya stopped him. "Don't smoke, it's bad for your health."
Zhao Qiang didn't insist, but his hand touched Xu Xiaoya's chest. He needed something to settle down with, otherwise he felt empty inside.
"You like them both that much?" Xu Xiaoya's hand pressed against the back of Zhao Qiang's hand, moving in sync with Zhao Qiang's movements on her chest.
Zhao Qiang hummed in response, tightening his grip on his hand. "Squad leader, how did you come to take a liking to me? When did this happen?"
Xu Xiaoya looked up at the ceiling, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, this is a complicated issue. Actually, would you believe me if I told you that before our senior year you were someone I didn't pay much attention to?" Zhao Qiang praised, "You're still the same real class monitor, not just saying nice things to brush me off. I know what my situation was like in college. There's no reason a normal person would like me."
Xu Xiaoya rolled her eyes at Zhao Qiang: "Do I need to be perfunctory with you? You were indeed unknown for the first three years, but then Luo Wei came to you. That made me start paying attention to you. Recalling your university life, I suddenly became curious about you. You said you had to put in so much effort to support yourself during university, and I admire your perseverance and dedication. Later, your performance became more and more outstanding, especially in the midterm exam of the first semester of your senior year. This made me even more convinced that you are an extremely excellent guy. Initially, I dated you with the intention of helping you, but after the Holiday Inn ordeal, I realized that I had fallen in love with you. But you, this blockhead, don't know how to confess to me. It forced me to abandon my girlish reserve and seduce you again and again. Who knew that Zhang Lingfeng would mistakenly tell you about our embarrassing affair with Sister Yiyi, which led to our current predicament and almost caused my parents to object."
Zhao Qiang hugged Xu Xiaoya tightly. Her pajamas had already been unbuttoned by Zhao Qiang, and her two large, white, and tender breasts pressed tightly against his chest. The tighter they hugged, the more their breasts swelled, warm, soft, and bouncy. It felt incredibly comfortable against him. "Class monitor, you don't have to worry about me anymore. You're still my class monitor, not just outside. In bed, you must set an example and guide me as your class monitor."
Xu Xiaoya wiped her mouth with a suggestive gesture, and said coquettishly, "You're the one who taught me. How vulgar! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Are all men like this?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Don't worry, others would be envious if they could have it. As long as you don't mind, it's fine."
Xu Xiaoya whispered in Zhao Qiang's ear, "I want you to teach me. I'll do whatever you teach me. Outside, I'll be your class monitor. In bed, I'll be your slave. You're my master. Master, will you promise me? I won't object to anything you like."
Zhao Qiang's head buzzed. He had only ever seen such a scene in art films. He never expected Xu Xiaoya to actually do this. If all of this was true, he would be incredibly happy. Thinking about the romantic life they would have in the future, Zhao Qiang was so excited he felt like he was going to burst out laughing.
Whether Xu Xiaoya was deliberately trying to please Zhao Qiang or simply enjoyed it, it was ultimately a good thing for Zhao Qiang. There's no moral issue involved in marital intimacy. What happens in their bed is nobody else's business. Even if the words are vulgar, it's still just sexual pleasure, not to be taken literally, and certainly not done in a truly obscene way. These actions only serve to further express the intimacy between them. Zhao Qiang isn't a saint or a hypocrite, and Xu Xiaoya's fiery personality certainly doesn't make her a saint either. Therefore, they both have a very open-minded view on the definition of sexual pleasure. They just want to make each other happy.
Let's talk about Xu Xiaoya's strange slave mentality. Perhaps it's related to her usual "rule" over Zhao Qiang as the class monitor. She loves Zhao Qiang, but in front of outsiders, she's used to her role as class monitor and finds it difficult to change. Moreover, Zhao Qiang has always pushed her into the position of "chief steward," so she can't change even if she wants to. Now, in bed, Xu Xiaoya's guilt leads her to the ridiculous thought of becoming a slave. This is actually a manifestation of going to one extreme and then turning to the other. Human psychology is indeed hard to fathom sometimes; even someone who is used to being a good person can inevitably have dark thoughts.
Zhao Qiang hadn't figured out the first step in his "training" when Xu Xiaoya chuckled and bit his ear, "Tomorrow you're going to help Wei deliver the Yuan blue-and-white porcelain jar, so don't embarrass us. It'll be good if you do that, so shouldn't we get up early and get ready? We can talk about your secret plans later, okay?"
Zhao Qiang could only temporarily put aside those filthy thoughts. Business was important. Today was the birthday of Luo Xin, the chairman of Haifeng Group. Zhao Qiang and Luo Wei had to deliver the Yuan blue and white porcelain jar before 10 o'clock, otherwise it would delay the smooth progress of Luo Xin's birthday celebration.
"You were invited too?" Zhao Qiang asked Xu Xiaoya.
