"Shaobin."

Outside the Huacheng City Detention Center gates, Zhang Xue rushed forward as she saw Qi Shaobin emerge, concern etched on her face, "You must have suffered. It must have been tough inside." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Master Qi."

The lawyer, pretending not to see, stepped forward and looked at Qi Shaobin. Lifting his eyes to the lawyer, Shaobin said, "Lawyer Huang, I owe you a lot for this time."

"You’re too polite, Master Qi. All of this is part of my job. However, you’re currently out on bail, so you’re temporarily not permitted to leave Huacheng and..."

Before the lawyer could finish, Qi Shaobin, impatient, waved his hand dismissively, "I know all of that." He took Zhang Xue by the hand and walked straight to the luxury car parked at the side of the road.

"Shaobin, I’ve already consulted with the lawyer about your situation. Although it’s not favorable for you, the things posted online can’t prove anything, nor can they be used to convict you."

Qi Shaobin’s face hardened as he turned to look at Zhang Xue, "All thanks to your ex-husband’s wonderful actions."

Zhang Xue bit her scarlet lips, looking back at Qi Shaobin’s icy gaze.

"Shaobin, that bastard Li Feng is now a dog that has lost its home. I never expected him to take such a vengeful approach. I won’t let this go easily."

Zhang Xue clenched her fists tightly, speaking fiercely, while Qi Shaobin suddenly smiled, "You’re right about one thing, he is a dog that has lost its home, daring to cause my arrest and laughingstock. He seems not to have realized what the consequences of angering me would be."

"Get up."

Zhang Xue looked at Qi Shaobin, puzzled.

"I said stand up."

Shaobin stared at Zhang Xue, who, upon his command, compliantly rose from her cold demeanor.

"Kneel down."

Zhang Xue raised her eyes to Qi Shaobin, her face suddenly flushing red, "Shaobin..."

Qi Shaobin grabbed her chin, "Coming back home? Your ex-husband has angered me greatly, and I’ll claim some interest from you first."

In the bedroom, Li Feng had his legs propped on the big bed and supported himself with his arms doing push-ups. At that moment, his phone beside him buzzed with a message. Li Feng didn’t look at it immediately, but the messages kept coming one after another.

Li Feng furrowed his brows, got up, and grabbed his phone, opening the messages. They were from an unknown number, and as he opened the messages, one indecent picture after another appeared before his eyes.

In the photos was his ex-wife, Zhang Xue.

Li Feng tapped to open the message contact and hit the call-back button.

Dial tone.

Dial.

After only two rings, the call was connected.

"Did you receive the little present I sent you? Did you see how cheap your ex-wife looks? I heard from her that she never did such things for you, oh no, that’s wrong; she wouldn’t even let you touch her. In your eyes, she must have been a cold goddess or an icy female CEO?"

"Li Feng, this is your goddess, and I can do whatever I want with her now. Weren’t you furiously trying to mess with me? You think you, a third-rate jerk, can mess with me? Fine, since you want to play, let’s play a proper game."

"I’ll be waiting for you at Sihai Club. If you have the guts, come over. If you don’t, well, forget I ever said anything."

Qi Shaobin hung up the phone.

"Shaobin, why did you send him the photos?" Zhang Xue looked at Qi Shaobin with mournful eyes, to which he responded by looking back at her, "What’s wrong, afraid he saw your lascivious side and it spoiled your cold image?"

Zhang Xue bit her lip while Shaobin was eagerly moving, "I do like your cold eyes, quite flavorful. Hurry up; I’m still fired up."

Li Feng looked at his hung-up phone. Shaobin was out, and he knew Shaobin couldn’t be locked up for long. After all, Shaobin was the heir to Sihai Group. As long as Sihai stood, he could hire many top lawyers for his defense.

Moreover, the evidence couldn’t conclusively nail Shaobin. Li Feng hadn’t planned on relying on that matter to take down Shaobin, or else he wouldn’t have dealt with that Mediterranean evidence, which was the most solid eyewitness.

All he wanted was to bring Shaobin back to Huacheng.

Li Feng grabbed a shirt from the bed, put it on, and took out a suit from the wardrobe before leaving the room.

Sihai Mountain Villa, one of the top high-class clubs in Huacheng, was built at the southwest corner of Huacheng, bordering a park.

Li Feng drove straight to the Mountain Villa.

"Sorry, sir. This club is members-only, and since you’re not a member, you can’t go in."

The receptionist barred Li Feng’s way.

"I was invited by Qi Shaobin."

"Sorry sir, we have not received any call from Master Qi. Why don’t you call him and ask?"

Li Feng frowned at the receptionist blocking him and picked up his phone, only to find the other side’s phone was turned off.

"What if I insist on going in?"

"Please, sir, don’t make it difficult for us."

The receptionist was polite, but the security guard standing behind her was not so friendly. Li Feng snorted coldly, Shaobin was making him eat a closed door, humiliating him.

"Feng Ge."

Li Feng turned to see Yun Qi coming out from the club, who then quickly approached, "Feng Ge, I thought you didn’t like places like this. What brought you around to wanting to come for fun?"

"I want to go in, but..."

Yun Qi chuckled, "This is a members-only place; non-members are not allowed in. But no worries, I’m a Gold Card member; I can totally bring someone in."

"Get out of my way, you lowly dogs."

Yun Qi laughed then turned to explain to Li Feng briefly before coldly glancing at the security guard and receptionist, then he obsequiously guided Li Feng into the club.

"Who is that guy, so important that even Yun Qi of the Huacheng Four is so obsequious to him?"

"I don’t recognize him, doesn’t seem like someone from the inner circle; otherwise, he wouldn’t lack even a membership."

Yun Qi followed behind Li Feng, "Feng Ge, what are you doing in Sihai Mountain Villa? You know it’s a Sihai Group property. Are you here to make a scene?"

Li Feng glanced at Yun Qi, "I’m here for Qi Shaobin. Do you know where I can find him?"

"Qi Shaobin? Wasn’t he arrested? What, he’s been released?"

"Mhm."

"Feng Ge, are you sure Shaobin is at Sihai Mountain Villa? If that’s the case, there is a suite in the villa exclusively for Shaobin." Yun Qi pondered for a moment.

"Take me there."

"Of course, no problem." As Yun Qi spoke, a man dressed as if he were a butler approached.

"Excuse me, are you Li Feng, Mr. Li? Master Qi has sent for you."
