Chapter 032: The Slap That Stunned Everyone They'd been married for years now—long enough that Liu Caixiu knew Lu Guangnian well. Whenever his face went this blank, this utterly devoid of expression, it meant he was pressing down fury that had reached its absolute limit. Lu Guangnian's temper had run hot and quick in his younger years. He'd deliberately trained himself out of it as he'd risen in the world—this blankness was the method he'd built for controlling himself. "What… what's wrong,…-

Chapter 031: A Scheme for Money and Murder Wu Chen's opinion of Lu Guangnian had always been a good one—generous, loyal, unbothered by small things, the sort of man who'd take a blade for a friend without hesitation. Whatever unlawful methods he'd used building his fortune, Wu Chen never held that against him. There had been a long stretch, once, when Wu Chen took real pleasure in helping people—he'd even donated every last yuan of his savings to an orphanage, since each day reset anyway.…

Chapter 030: What Did Wu Chen Say to Lu Guangnian? "You—you're the one who worked at a bathhouse! Your whole family worked at a bathhouse! Have you no shame, you mangy dog!" Liu Caixiu's face flushed scarlet, shrieking and cursing at Wu Chen in a fit. She had, in fact, worked at a bathhouse once—ten years ago now, and only briefly. After her surgery succeeded, she'd latched onto men with money, and marrying Lu Guangnian had come later still. This was one of the secrets Liu Caixiu guarded most…

Chapter 029: Why Do You Suddenly Look Kind of Familiar? Was there truly no one who dared cross Li Ruobing? Of course there was. The Li family was a formidable clan, but not quite the very top tier. And Li Ruobing kept a low profile by habit—never volunteering details about her family background. Those without sufficient standing might have heard the Li name without grasping its true weight; those with sufficient standing already knew, and had no need for her to explain herself. There was a…

Chapter 028: Mr. Wu Is Truly an Impressive Young Man! "Well, Boss Li! What a coincidence, you're dining here too today." The first to approach was a bespectacled man, nearly fifty, thin as a rail. "President Han, what a coincidence indeed." Li Ruobing feigned surprise. Han Deli, forty-seven, president and major shareholder of Longcheng Innovation Group, an electronics component business. Married twice, one son, one daughter. The company was thriving these days—booming, even. The instant Wu…

Chapter 027: You Slept with That Con Artist? None of Li Ruobing's trusted bodyguards were ordinary men—all retired special forces. Their salaries alone ran into the millions each year, though the money came from the Li family, not from Li Ruobing personally. However deep the rift with her family ran, Li Ruobing remained a core descendant of the Li family. Eldest granddaughter of the eldest branch. The family might tear at each other's throats behind closed doors, but that was family business.…

Chapter 026: I, Wu Chen, Came from an Ordinary Family! Wu Chen found this deeply puzzling. Why would anyone already be watching him, this early on? His new life had only started today. Plenty had happened in these few hours, true, but judging purely by how fast information traveled, no one should have had time to set their sights on him yet. Ding Ruilong? Ding Ruilong wasn't a deity. There was no way he could know of Wu Chen's existence yet. At the very earliest, that would take days. So…

Chapter 025: Don't You Find That Contradictory? In truth, Li Ruotai's suspicion toward Wu Chen was not suspicion over whether Wu Chen was sincerely helping him. That much was no longer in question. Of course he was. Li Ruotai understood exactly how deep his own trouble ran—the evidence alone would send him straight to prison, and likely see him dead there. If Wu Chen wanted to hurt him, he wouldn't need to lift a finger. Li Ruotai would already be finished. So by now, Li Ruotai believed Wu…

Chapter 024: Are You Hitting on Me? The interplay of black and white keys gave rise to notes of quiet beauty, a melody like sunlight at two thirty in the afternoon—languid and leisurely, flowing slowly along its ancient, elegant curve. The sound bloomed brighter by degrees, spreading outward like a rising tide, filling every corner of the world around them. His fingers danced lightly across the keys, sliding from low notes to high, opening onto some rose-tinted vista with every pass, then…

Chapter 023: You Know Art Too? While the rest of the room was still reeling from the discovery that Yao Bin had cheated, Wu Chen gave no warning at all. In one swift motion he'd hauled the man to the table's edge and brought the blade down. The knife was the one Li Ruobing had just stepped out to borrow from a bodyguard. Wu Chen had asked her to fetch it right after the cards were sealed. At the time, she'd had no idea what he wanted it for. If he'd truly meant to pull something dangerous, she…
