Old Li frowned. "That can't be right. Our gang leader is such a formidable man—how could he possibly be controlled by a woman? Besides, I always thought the two of them were quite loving. If they’re so close, why would his girlfriend want to do anything to him?"
Old Chen smirked mysteriously. "Old Li, you just don’t get it, do you? Punishment isn’t always physical. There are certain punishments unique to relationships between men and women."
"Punishments unique to men and women?" Old Li was utterly confused. "What kind of punishment is that?"
He had never been in a relationship before, nor had he ever watched adult films, so he couldn’t even begin to imagine what that might entail.
Old Chen patted Old Li on the shoulder. "You’re a single guy—it’s normal that you wouldn’t understand."
Old Chen chuckled to himself.
Naturally, it was a punishment of love.
Wait, no.
Old Chen shook off the thought.
The punishment he was referring to was usually something seen in those female-oriented domineering CEO stories, where the male lead would use it on the soft-hearted heroine.
Women are naturally weaker in physical strength compared to men.
The gang leader’s girlfriend would have a hard time overpowering him in bed.
Then again, Dark Rose’s combat skills and raw strength were off the charts. Who knew who would come out on top between her and the gang leader in bed?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Old Chen shook his head again.
What was he thinking?
Now that the gang leader had a girlfriend, there was no way he’d end up with Dark Rose.
Old Chen’s vague remarks had thoroughly piqued Old Li’s curiosity.
"Old Chen, explain it to me properly. What exactly is this punishment?" Old Li pressed eagerly.
Old Chen shook his head. "I don’t think it’s what I’m imagining. I must be wrong."
"Then tell me what you were imagining just now," Old Li prodded.
Since Old Chen didn’t think his guess was accurate anyway, he figured there was no harm in sharing.
Old Chen replied, "The punishment would be the gang leader’s girlfriend clinging to him in bed, keeping him tangled up so he can’t leave."
Old Li: "!!!"
He reached out and felt Old Chen’s forehead, frowning. "Old Chen, you don’t have a fever, so how could you possibly think like that?"
"Our gang leader is incredibly strong—his combat skills, stamina, and endurance are all top-tier among men. How could he possibly lose to a woman in bed?"
Besides, while the gang leader’s girlfriend knew some martial arts, she was still a woman at the end of the day. There was no way she could overpower a man like him.
Old Chen sighed. "So, my guess was wrong."
Just then, Su Hua, dressed in a figure-hugging qipao, passed by not far from Old Chen and Old Li.
As soon as Su Hua disappeared from sight, Old Li couldn’t resist asking, "Old Chen, now that the gang leader’s girlfriend is going to see him, what do you think will happen next?"
"Isn’t it obvious? A man and a woman alone together, with sparks flying—something indecent is bound to happen," Old Chen said with a grin.
This was the first time he’d seen the gang leader’s girlfriend in person.
Some gang members had previously claimed that the gang leader’s girlfriend was breathtakingly beautiful, with an incredible figure—a true femme fatale.
They said she was ten times more stunning than the most beautiful actress in the country.
At the time, he’d thought they were exaggerating.
But now, seeing her in person, he realized they hadn’t been lying. The gang leader’s girlfriend was unbelievably gorgeous.
Old Chen couldn’t help but wonder aloud, "I wonder where the gang leader even found a girlfriend like this."
No wonder he was so smitten with her.
Old Li replied, "Our gang leader is handsome, capable, and powerful—isn’t it normal for her to be attracted to him?"
"True," Old Chen nodded.
The gang leader really was extraordinary.
He had a brilliant mind for business, exceptional computer skills, medical expertise, and incredible combat abilities.
He was practically a jack-of-all-trades.
Honestly, even as a man, Old Chen almost found himself admiring him too much.
Just then, Wang Ba appeared. "Since when is the gang leader’s private life any of your business to discuss? Get back to work!"
"Yes, sir."
Old Chen and Old Li didn’t dare say another word. They lowered their heads and quickly left.
Wang Ba glanced toward the gang leader’s room, stroking his chin.
Now that he thought about it, he was also curious about how Su Hua would deal with their leader…
Old Chen and Old Li circled back.
Wang Ba frowned. "Why are you two back?"
Old Chen cleared his throat. "Second Boss, after what happened with Liang Xiaoxia trying to seduce the gang leader, his girlfriend is definitely going to do something to him. Don’t you want to see the show?"
Gossiping was practically a national pastime.
Their instincts told them something entertaining was about to unfold.
They couldn’t resist finding out what would happen between the gang leader and his girlfriend.
Wang Ba coughed. "It’s the gang leader’s private matter. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to watch?"
"Second Boss, what’s inappropriate about it?" Old Li argued. "If the gang leader doesn’t want us seeing anything, he’ll close the door. If it’s left open, then whatever happens inside isn’t exactly private."
"Fair point."
Wang Ba was convinced. He nodded. "Alright, I’ll go too. If the gang leader’s girlfriend really punishes him, we can at least try to smooth things over for him."
"Then let’s go, Second Boss."
Wang Ba, Old Chen, and Old Li headed toward Lin Xuan’s room together.
Wang Ba frowned as he noticed the unusually high foot traffic in the hallway. "Why are there so many people here?"
They pretended to just be passing by the gang leader’s door, but some of them had clearly circled back multiple times, their eyes glued to the room.
Obviously, they were hoping to catch a glimpse of something inside.
"What are they doing?" Wang Ba muttered.
"What else? Same as us—here for the show," Old Chen chuckled.
Wang Ba’s frown deepened. "Make sure they don’t tip them off. If the gang leader and his girlfriend notice anything, the fun’s over."
Otherwise, how was he supposed to enjoy the drama?
"Understood," Old Chen nodded.
Inside the room, Lin Xuan had heard from Old Chen that Su Hua would be arriving soon. He straightened his clothes, took several deep breaths, and waited nervously for her.
Click-clack.
The sound of high heels echoed from the hallway.
Lin Xuan perked up.
High heels.
This had to be his Hua Bao.
He exhaled slowly, preparing to pin her against the wall the moment she entered.
The door swung open.
Su Hua’s stunning face came into view.
Thud!
Lin Xuan pushed her against the wall in a classic "wall slam."
Outside, Wang Ba and a crowd of Golden Dragon Gang members: "!!!"
Holy crap, the gang leader was starting off strong!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
