Chapter 227-1: Stratagems
Slightly NSFW chapter
Guanglin Night Market in Donghai’s east region. This place had activity at its highest late at night, regular people and crooks filled the countless bars, clubs, and pubs, indulging themselves in an extravagant lifestyle. It goes without saying that there were also countless people who were here for a chance to be able to attain money to feed their families.
At a karaoke lounge named “Golden Age,” the dark gold theme of the whole place gave it a profound and mysterious feel. The pink and dim warm lights made it difficult to recognize the faces of those who walked around the place.
Due to the indistinctness, no man or woman was overly breathtaking, and no attire was too scanty.
In a luxurious private room, the song Spring Comes To The North was played at deafening volumes, the expressive singing was accompanied by a style of traditional pop melody that came from Japan, causing the room to be wallowing in trendy yet nostalgic feels.
On the tough black leather sofa, a middle-aged man who was balding and looked unhealthy hugged a beautiful woman with creamy white skin who only wore a pair of black lace bra and translucent black stockings.
The man had a hand kneading the woman’s glorious breast, and occasionally squeezed them into various shapes, causing the woman to moan loudly.
“Jian-ge you meanie, you’re pinching me and it hurts……” The woman seductively said.
The man addressed as Jian-ge drank the dry red wine in his wine glass, hearing the woman speak so weakly and alluringly, a vicious smile surfaced on his lips.
He casually threw the wine glass onto the carpeted floor, and the thick woolen carpet was immediately stained red.
“Okay… if it hurts, then I won’t pinch here… come… let me pinch you down there……”
While the woman tried not to comply and begged for mercy, Jian-ge forcefully pushed her down on the sofa. He used his legs to pry the woman’s legs open, then began to nibble all over her face and neck while one of his hands went towards the woman’s honeypot……
The music in the room covered up the woman’s vague screams, while Jian-ge became increasingly excited.
“Little vixen…… You’re bewitching the hell out of me… banging you everyday isn’t enough!”
While Jian-ge was about to tear away the woman’s stocking which she practically had to replace everyday, his phone which was on the coffee table rang.
Jian-ge was irritated and picked up the phone. Looking at the number of the caller, his anger was mostly quelled, he immediately picked up the phone, “Boss! How may I be of service!?”
“Ah Jian, return to your base immediately. I received information that Red Thorns Society are going to wage war against us.”
“What!? Has that girl, Situ Rose gone out of her mind!? Who are they to pick a fight with us!? Does she think we’re pushovers like her useless father!?”
“There are also the police and armed forces involved, quickly return, I will give commands.”
“Motherf**ker! They are trying to rebel!? Don’t worry, Boss, I will immediately gather all of my brothers to the base!”
Jian-ge hung up the call, then went to pick up his jacket with the intention to leave.
The woman bitterly hung unto Jian-ge’s back from behind, her beautiful arms clinged onto Jian-ge’s neck, and she seductively said, “Jian-ge, you said you’d accompany me tonight, why are you leaving! Meanie! You lied to me!”
“Ah… my little darling, how could I lie to you? It’s truly an urgent matter, I have to go!” Jian-ge gloomily answered.
“Don’t go, tell me what important business this is!” The woman continued clinging onto Jian-ge’s body.
Jian-ge had no choice but to speak while putting on his clothes, “Red Thorns Society’s Situ Rose has lost her mind, and is colluding with the police to fight us. I have to bring my brothers to get our firearms to show them who’s boss!”
“Jian-ge, I think you won’t be able to make it there tonight.” The woman dispiritedly said.
“Why?” Jian-ge subconsciously asked without even thinking.
“Because you have to die now……”
The soft arms that the woman hung on Jian-ge’s neck suddenly became like two steel rods, and instantly tightened on Jian-ge’s neck!
The moment Jian-ge realized this, he had the intention to strike the woman’s stomach with his elbow, but before he could raise his arm, the woman’s arms crisscrossed with force!
*Crack!*
Jian-ge’s head was dislocated from his neck! It was an instant death!
The woman released Jian-ge’s corpse which had its eyes wide open from grievance. She coldly grinned without seeming any less alluring, then picked up her small pink phone on the coffee table and dialed an unsaved number.
“Hello, Big Sis? Dongxing’s White Tiger Hall’s Shi Jian is already dead, the White Tiger Hall is now just a bunch of sheeps without a shepherd.”
“Hai Tang, it has been hard on you, you’ve done very well, come back and be with our sisters.”
“This is my duty. Compared to what you do, Big Sis, this is nothing!”
Hai Tang happily hung up the call, then picked up her black gown and jacket, wrapping her well developed body in them.
She walked out of the room, and the two men dressed in suits who guarded the door immediately gave her a flattering smile, “Miss Di Duo, where’s boss?”
“Shh, Jian-ge is drunk, I’m going to the toilet. Don’t disturb him, you both know that his temper is very bad when he’s drunk, I can’t help you if he gets angry.” Hai Tang flirtatiously said.
“Yes yes, thank you for your concern, Miss Di Duo.” The two subordinates nodded gratefully.
Hai Tang charmingly smiled, then walked towards Golden Age’s exit.
When Hai Tang’s figure was out of view for the two men in suits, their smiles vanished and they sneered as they looked at each other.
“She’s just a chick that Boss is banging everyday, yet she really thinks she has become a big deal.”
“Geez, don’t think about that. Once Boss is done playing with her, us brothers can toy with her to death.”
“That’s true, hahahaha……”
At the same time, at a small unobtrusive coffee shop situated close to the ring road in the east region, Yang Chen and Rose sat beside by a window, and drank coffee.
On Rose’s computer screen, detailed information from her many squads were constantly received. The fiery red rose drawing on the map was constantly overthrowing the numerous locations with a black “East” imprinted on them.
[TL: The “Dong” in Dongxing is the chinese character for East.]
Yang Chen listened as Rose was done with another call, then looked at Rose with a queer expression with an urge to sigh.
Rose noticed Yang Chen who looked at her deep in thought, she blinked at him then asked, “Hubby, why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?”
“Darling Rose, just when did you send your spies to get close to Dongxing’s important personnel?” Yang Chen curiously asked.
“I already sent them when tensions with West Union Society was rising. Back then, our Red Thorns Society was in a disadvantage, and according to reason, those elites should be kept in headquarters…… However… because of your appearance, I bet that I’d win in the end……” Rose mischievously smiled, “Hubby, please don’t blame me, I think that way because I believe in you, that you will definitely help us……”
Yang Chen scratched his head, then raised his head and sighed, “Looks like everything was within your calculations, I reckon that Dongxing’s people would never have expected that you would choose that period to set your sights on Dongxing instead of scheming against West Union Society.”
“Yeah… I thought so at that time as well…… You won’t get angry over this… right… Hubby?” Rose fawningly used her hands to hold Yang Chen’s hands and put on a pitiful expression.
“Heh.” Yang Chen softly laughed, “Forget about it, I realized that you women all aren’t simple to deal with.”
Yang Chen recalled the stratagems Lin Ruoxi employed a while ago, and it was also a ridiculous scheme.
When it comes to plotting, he was probably inferior to Lin Ruoxi and Rose, because with his strength, he didn’t need to think of stratagems. On the other hand, independent women like them had to think very far ahead and consider many complicated things.
Rose pursed her lips and smiled, “I knew you wouldn’t blame me. However, what do you mean by ‘you women’ Hubby? Just how many women do you have?”
“Uh……” Yang Chen coughed twice, and dodged the subject, “How are things progressing? Are we just going to sit here all the way? Do you want to go to the frontlines to take a look?”
“No, it’s the same whether or not we go, because the total number of places we’re attacking number to over two hundred. In terms of the important ones, there are over fifty of them. There’s no point in just going to one, so why not just stay here instead and give orders instead?” Rose happily said.
Seeing Rose so excited and cute, Yang Chen couldn’t help smiling, “Looks like our Empress Rose is rather happy to ascend the true throne of Zhonghai’s underworld.”
“Hubby, do you know that in this profession, true joy is found not after defeating an enemy, and also not before defeating the enemy. Even if I become the only leader in Zhonghai’s underworld, I wouldn’t be happy about it……” Rose’s beautiful eyes were filled with an indescribable radiance, “True joy only happens when we are beating the enemy and eating up their territory. In that instant where we succeed, I can feel my heart beat, and it’s so intense!”
“I guess you aren’t going to sleep tonight?” Yang Chen asked with a weird smile.
“Nope.” Rose felt sorry as she said, “Hubby, how about you go home? I’m really happy right now, Secretary Fang actually collaborated with us to help us take down Dongxing…… I won’t be accompanying you to sleep tonight, so you should go home, there’s nothing for you to do by accompanying me anyways.”
Yang Chen helplessly sighed, “If that fellow Fang Zhongping creates trouble for you after this, let me know, I will take care of him for you.”
“Aye, don’t worry. Actually, as long as we work well together, it’s definitely beneficial to him for me to be the leader of Zhonghai’s underworld, he wouldn’t be so silly.” Rose said with a smile.
On the computer screen, the symbol for gunfight began to show up unceasingly, while the black “East” markers looked like they were stained with blood by the expansion of the fiery red rose drawing.
Yang Chen looked at Rose as she happily smiled like a child who has gotten a new toy. He smiled and shook his head, then left the coffee shop.
As he had someone from Red Thorns Society’s retrieve his BMW, Yang Chen didn’t need anyone to send him back.
It was almost 1:30 AM. While Yang Chen drove out of the downtown, he looked at his rearview mirror, and glanced at Zhonghai’s east region which was still brightly lit.
Once this night ends, Dongxing’s Zhou father and son along with the Xu Family would be struck off from Zhonghai.
However, these matters weren’t a big deal to Yang Chen. To be blunt, if it wasn’t because the opportunity presented itself for others to take credit and for Rose to benefit, Yang Chen was totally willing to kill Zhou Guangnian, Xu Zhihong and the others by himself, even if he had to take the medicine again because of it.
After driving at ridiculous speeds for over ten minutes, Yang Chen returned to the villa at Dragon Garden.
When he got off the car, Yang Chen was astonished to find out that the living room’s lights were still on.
It was almost 2 AM, so Yang Chen creased his brows. In the past, Lin Ruoxi did wait for him to return home before, but this time it was already this late, so Yang Chen felt that this was unlikely. He was even called a “rogue” by Lin Ruoxi this morning, so he guessed that perhaps the two women at home forgot to turn off the lights.
With doubt in his head, Yang Chen opened the door and entered the house.
