Tianmei's room possessed a peculiar fragrance, its layout not much different from an ordinary guest room, yet the scent made one feel as if they had entered a blooming garden upon entering. It offered a sense of pleasing comfort.
Huang Jie felt the same. However, for him, this aroma, reminiscent of returning to nature, had transformed into a different kind of temptation. It surged through his male instincts, his eyes beholding scenes that made his blood boil.
Tianmei was not surprised by his state of uncontrolled primal instinct, but when she looked at the man beside him, her pupils trembled slightly.
"He's not affected?"
The moment this thought crossed her mind, Tianmei realized something – this man before her was also a martial arts expert!
"Sister Tianmei, you truly are a rare beauty. It's a shame I wasn't born fifteen years earlier, or I would have spared no expense to personally experience how wonderful you would be in bed!"
As Huang Jie spoke, he couldn't help but reach out towards Tianmei. Her eyes sharpened, and she no longer hesitated, placing her right hand behind her back and secretly pressing a button.
Having done so, Tianmei took a step back and said coldly, "Young Master Huang, what do you want?"
Her previously sweet voice turned to an ice-cold tone that pushed him away. Huang Jie suddenly caught a whiff of a strange odor that made his body shiver, and he instantly sobered up.
Damn it! What was I just doing?
Confused, Huang Jie felt a surge of regret. Although he was lecherous, as a prominent figure of the Huang Bao clan, he had never engaged in such vulgar acts! He had always looked down on those scum who used force. He savored the feeling of control, the sense of dominion over others who were unwilling yet compelled to comply. While equally despicable, it was not vulgar!
At this thought, Huang Jie’s mood was completely thrown off.
"My apologies, Sister Tianmei. Perhaps you are too captivating, and I acted on impulse."
Huang Jie finished speaking and bowed deeply towards Tianmei.
"Young Master Huang, although I, Tianmei, am also from the entertainment industry, I haven't engaged in that profession since I followed the Master!"
Tianmei's voice carried a hint of anger. Huang Jie nodded and apologized again.
"My apologies, Sister Tianmei. I hope you can understand that it was truly an accident just now. I apologize for disturbing you tonight. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
With that, Huang Jie made to leave. Tianmei quickly got to the point: "Wait, Young Master Huang, what about my employees? What do those photos you sent mean?"
If it weren't for Xiao Yun, she wouldn't have met this young master, who was her rival in the city. Of course, she couldn't just let him leave like this. What she hadn't expected was that even with her small stratagem to make him temporarily back down, he still wouldn't concede on this matter!
Facing Tianmei's questioning, Huang Jie directly changed the subject: "Sister Tianmei, we'll discuss this tomorrow. But rest assured, I won't harm your people."
The implication of his words was that he would return. Tianmei's brow furrowed tightly, but she could only watch him leave. Her subordinates had already been dispatched to apprehend someone. If Huang Jie hadn't been accompanied by that man, she might have already ordered the Tian team hidden outside to intervene. But now, she dared not act rashly! She was well aware of how formidable these martial artists were!
"Must I give up on Xiao Yun like this?"
A wave of regret washed over Tianmei's eyes. If she hadn't sent Shuang Xing out earlier, she wouldn't be in such a passive position now! After all, this was her territory, and Huang Jie was someone from the Huang Bao clan, a well-known rival of Mei Cheng. If this incident tonight were to spread, it would significantly impact Mei Cheng's reputation. However.
"Master, please wait for me. As soon as I find a suitable successor, I will come down to see you."
Tianmei's peach blossom-like beautiful eyes suddenly welled up with endless sorrow, but in the next moment, a flash of pink flickered in her eyes.
"Damn, it's acting up again!"
Tianmei's face changed drastically, and she quickly looked towards the doorway. Fortunately, Huang Jie had already left with his men. She hurried forward and locked the door. Tianmei's breathing became rough, sweat beaded on her forehead, and her entire body was drenched in perspiration. She appeared extremely weak.
Struggling to her office desk, she picked up the phone.
"Immediately, send for Xiao Qi!"
After making the call, Tianmei's breathing grew erratic. The Xiao Qi she mentioned was the fair-skinned young man who had previously provoked Yue Hai and the others.
Meanwhile, in a guest room, a staff member hurried inside but couldn't wake the still-unconscious man. Helplessly, the staff member called Tianmei.
"Master, Xiao Qi might be too frightened. He's trembling and won't wake up."
Tianmei never expected such news, but the discomfort within her body prevented her from even getting angry. She immediately hung up the phone and, with her last vestige of reason, called Shuang Xing.
On the other side, Yue Hai and Chen Peiyue had confronted Shuang Xing, who had been sent by Tianmei.
"Who are you people!"
One minute ago, while awaiting news from the Sen Lang brothers, they were surrounded by these suddenly appearing twins. Without a word, the four exchanged several blows. To Yue Hai's astonishment, these twins, who looked no older than thirty, both possessed a third-level cultivation! If they hadn't held back, the two of them would likely be severely injured by now! However, in response to Yue Hai's question, Shuang Xing did not answer, merely stating calmly.
"Return with us, and I won't kill her."
The twins' synchronization was the most terrifying Yue Hai had ever witnessed. After only a few exchanges, not only he, but even Chen Peiyue, had suffered internal injuries and was now clutching her right arm. Yue Hai knew their target was him and stealthily signaled Chen Peiyue to escape first.
However, at this moment, Shuang Xing received a call from Tianmei.
"Understood. One minute."
Hearing this, Yue Hai's expression changed, and he immediately shouted to Chen Peiyue.
"Go!"
With that, he charged towards the twins. But to his surprise, Chen Peiyue not only didn't flee but rushed forward with him.
"Xiao Yue!"
"My father taught me that you don't abandon your companions easily."
A flicker of emotion crossed Yue Hai's eyes, but the twins gave him no opportunity.
"Apologies, time is of the essence."
With that, their figures vanished simultaneously. Yue Hai's expression turned grim. Without thinking, he hurled a punch to his right, but the next moment, the twins appeared beside Chen Peiyue. She only managed to execute a whip kick before being knocked unconscious by a palm strike from the twins' coordinated effort. They had actually resorted to taking damage to inflict damage!
