Boom—
Bai Xinhui's mind buzzed.
Liu Tianxing didn't know about this either!
And she had just come from the Bai family. How could Su Yang know about the Bai and Liu families' affairs?
"How is that possible? Liu Tianxing isn't that important. Su Yang, you're overthinking it."
Could this guy be trying to trick me?
Bai Xinhui feigned a rebuttal.
But Su Yang smiled, not bothering to indulge her. "Fine, if you're not going to be honest, get out. See the guest out."
Hearing this, Zhou Chengcheng prepared to usher her out.
"Wait!"
Bai Xinhui panicked. "How did you know about this?"
"None of your business. Can you understand my abilities, Su Yang? If you could, you wouldn't have fallen into my hands."
Su Yang smiled faintly. Did he expect him to tell her he had cheats?
Bai Xinhui was reprimanded, but she couldn't find a reason to refute Su Yang.
After all, what Su Yang said was true. Ever since she met him, she had been completely dominated.
Bai Xinhui was no longer as forceful and arrogant as before.
"Su Yang, since you know, name your price. How can we get Liu Tianxing out?"
"Name my price? In your current situation, you'd be willing to do anything I asked, wouldn't you?"
Su Yang beckoned with his finger.
"My floor is dirty, do you know what to do?"
Hearing this, Bai Xinhui stared at Su Yang with anger in her eyes.
But seeing Su Yang's nonchalant expression, as if he had her completely figured out.
And thinking about the matter of the Bai family heir... Bai Xinhui gritted her teeth. "I know!"
—No matter what happens today, she must make Su Yang save the person!
—As long as Liu Tianxing can get out, she will be the future head of the Bai family!
—At that time, everything now will be worth it!
Having made up her mind, Bai Xinhui quickly found cleaning tools and diligently cleaned.
As a young lady from one of the four great families, countless people had sought favors from the Bai family in similar ways.
Bai Xinhui worked hard to clean and mop.
But Su Yang looked disgusted.
"Clumsy. Miss Bai, you've never done housework before, have you?"
"No... but I'm willing to learn."
Bai Xinhui replied with a fawning expression.
Su Yang smiled. "If you had had this attitude from the start, everything would have been resolved. Unfortunately, now, I need to consider it."
Zhou Chengcheng understood Su Yang's intention and said, "Boss, I'll go clean the yard. You two can chat slowly."
"I can do it. Are there any other places that need cleaning? Steward Zhou, please tell me everything."
Seeing that Su Yang was finally willing to consider it, Bai Xinhui became even more diligent.
Bai Xinhui spent over an hour cleaning the living room, front and back yards, bathrooms, and other areas.
Su Yang was watching the news when he saw Bai Xinhui, sweating profusely, sitting nearby to rest.
"Who allowed you to sit down? Come here and wash my feet!"
—This scoundrel! He's going too far!
Bai Xinhui cursed inwardly, but on the outside, she could only fawn. "Okay, coming right up."
She brought over the foot-washing basin and placed Su Yang's feet into the water.
"Massage them. Why are you squatting there like an idiot?"
Su Yang urged.
Bai Xinhui gritted her teeth and reached her hands into the water. The water was very hot. Su Yang's feet were thick-skinned and didn't feel pain, but her hands immediately yelped.
Seeing this, Su Yang frowned. "You're not sincere, are you?"
"Yes!"
Bai Xinhui was afraid that if Su Yang was displeased, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
She endured the pain, put her hands into the water, and found Su Yang's feet.
"Rub them well. Make sure to clean between your toes."
Su Yang lay on the sofa, enjoying himself leisurely.
Bai Xinhui, kneeling before him, tentatively asked, "Su Yang, I've shown so much sincerity. Can you call Director Zong and ask him to release the person?"
Su Yang lifted his foot and rubbed it against her clothes until the water stains were dry.
"Release him? That's easy."
Bai Xinhui was overjoyed and didn't care about her wet clothes.
"But I have a few things to ask you first. You'd better answer honestly!"
"Okay, tell me."
"Do you know how Liu Tianxing got involved with the Sang Country's Yihe Sect?"
He couldn't see this with his clairvoyance, as it was more than ten days ago.
But Su Yang had always wanted to investigate clearly, as the Japanese were universally condemned.
"Sang Country people? I remember the second night he returned to Songhai, he had a long conversation with a group of mysterious people at the Starlight Nightclub. But those people were very fierce and didn't let me get close. Now that I think about it, they looked a lot like Sang Country people."
—Starlight Nightclub?
—Could it be the Sang Country Yihe Sect's stronghold in Songhai?
"Do you know anything else?"
Bai Xinhui shook her head. "No more."
She had spoken and done what was asked.
Bai Xinhui felt it was time to get back to business.
"Su Yang, can you call and release the person now?"
"Release who? Release what person?"
"You, no, didn't you just agree to release him?"
"Did you mishear?"
Bai Xinhui was so anxious she stammered. "You scoundrel! You're playing me!"
She was so angry she raised her hand to slap Su Yang, but Su Yang kicked her down first.
Bai Xinhui lay on the ground, trying to struggle, but Su Yang stepped on her backside.
"I knew you weren't sincere. You still want to hit me? Get out!"
Su Yang withdrew his foot. Bai Xinhui got up from the ground, feeling utterly humiliated.
She was actually stepped on by a nouveau riche.
"You... what exactly do I need to do to save him..."
"I think Liu Tianxing would be very moved to know you helped him like this," Su Yang said coldly, looking at Bai Xinhui. "If you want to save him, come back with enough sincerity next time. For now, you can get out."
Bai Xinhui's face was grim. She thought that Liu Tianxing wasn't worthy of her helping him.
She was doing it for the Bai family!
Bai Xinhui knew she couldn't persuade Su Yang today and left in disgrace, head bowed.
"Boss, aren't we being too cruel?"
Zhou Chengcheng pursed her lips slightly, having witnessed the scene.
But a sharp glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.
"That Liu Tianxing colluded with Sang Country people and caused the death of my company's employees. If I let him go, I would be letting down the people of Long Country."
Su Yang's words stunned Zhou Chengcheng, and she realized the truth.
No wonder the boss was so angry.
It turned out he wanted to avenge the innocent dead.
Just as Bai Xinhui left.
A long-lost mechanical voice sounded in Su Yang's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully caring for Bai Xinhui. You have obtained a Heavenly Silkworm Divine Silk Vest, which can resist bullet attacks."
Instantly, a lining appeared beneath Su Yang's clothes.
It was as light and thin as if he were wearing nothing.
"Resisting bullet attacks, like an invisible bulletproof vest? Not bad, not bad."
However, Su Yang was puzzled. "Tricking Bai Xinhui into bleeding heavily next time, does that count as caring for a woman?"
"To the host, sometimes deceiving women is also a form of care."
Su Yang understood. "So that's what 'shameless' means."
...
Outside Panlong No. 1.
Bai Xinhui had sacrificed her dignity and pride, done so much, only to be played by Su Yang.
"Su Yang! You scoundrel!"
—Ring ring!
Bai Xinhui was furious but still answered the call from her grandfather.
"Xinhui, is Su Yang willing to release him?"
