The next morning, at dawn.

The blazing sun shone through the window into the prison cell. Xiao Chen leaned dazedly against the wall, his eyes vacant and pupils unfocused.

The spirited glint that had once filled his eyes was completely gone, as though his life had lost all its color.

Thinking back to last night's unforgettable experience, Xiao Chen dry-heaved again, his expression changing drastically.

He, Xiao Chen, the dignified leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, had actually been...

If anyone else learned of his glorious exploits, how could he possibly continue living in this world with any dignity?

If his enemies learned about this, wouldn't they laugh themselves to death?

Although, after regaining consciousness this morning, he had viciously taught those bastards a lesson and been transferred to another cell,

how could the humiliation inflicted on him by those six burly men possibly be erased so easily?

"Jiang Che, I'll kill you!"

Remembering that all his current humiliation had been caused by Jiang Che, Xiao Chen was so enraged that his veins bulged from his forehead as he roared.

Xiao Chen swore that once he got out of here, he would definitely find an opportunity to take ruthless revenge on Jiang Che!

He would make Jiang Che personally experience this pain!

Unless he cut Jiang Che into a thousand pieces, he would never be able to quell the hatred in his heart!

"What are you making so much noise for?!"

"Loud noises are forbidden in the cells. Do you want another beating?"

Just as Xiao Chen was raging helplessly, a security officer opened the cell door and brought in another six burly men. He glanced at Xiao Chen and sternly reprimanded him.

"Phew..."

"Got it..."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the rage that was about to explode from within him. His face flushed red as he clenched his fists tightly.

Endure. I'll endure!

Endure for a moment, and the winds will calm; take a step back, and the sea and sky will open wide...

Only after desperately reminding himself not to make a move did Xiao Chen gradually calm down.

"These will be your new cellmates from now on. Get along well."

"If another fight breaks out, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

The security officer was quite satisfied with Xiao Chen's submissive attitude. After warning him again, he turned and left to continue his patrol.

Xiao Chen: ...

For some reason, Xiao Chen had an ominous feeling in his heart.

Because the way these newcomers looked at him was almost exactly the same as the previous six men...

Inside a second-floor bedroom at Qingteng Villa.

After waking up, Jiang Che took Xiao Yi to the bathroom again, where they took a hot bath for two and a half hours.

It was not until noon that the two of them, properly dressed, appeared in the first-floor hall.

Xiao Yi's face was glowing with health. Her brows carried a trace of allure and cold beauty, while her little face remained as icy as ever. Yet whenever she looked at Jiang Che, a hint of tenderness would inadvertently appear in her eyes.

Looking at the little girl before him, Jiang Che was filled with emotion.

Sure enough, a certain philosopher had been right.

The shortest path to a woman's heart was...

Xiao Yi had originally been an emotionless, exceptionally cold girl.

But after the experiences of the past two days, her personality had quietly begun to change.

That was a very good sign.

Jiang Che firmly believed that as long as he continued expressing his intense, blazing love for Xiao Yi day and night, he would eventually melt this iceberg completely!

Moreover, Xiao Yi's perpetually expressionless face held an indescribable allure for Jiang Che at certain moments, greatly stirring his heart.

"Little Yi Baby, do you want to go out for a stroll with me?"

Jiang Che reached out and twirled a lock of Xiao Yi's purple hair between his fingers as he proposed with a smile.

If she had yet to see the world, he would show her all its splendor.

If she had weathered life's storms, he would take her on a carousel.

To truly win the heart of this little girl in purple, warm companionship was still essential.

Although Xiao Yi was one hundred percent loyal to him, it was more a subordinate's unconditional obedience to her master.

There might be some affection between a man and a woman mixed in, but there was certainly not much.

In Jiang Che's eyes, Xiao Yi had weathered life's storms, yet she had never truly seen the world. Whether it was the splendor of the world or a carousel, she needed both.

Though Xiao Yi, who came from an assassin background, possessed the Grandmaster Level Assassination Technique, was proficient in all kinds of combat skills, had faced countless life-and-death crises, and weathered every kind of storm, her life had contained nothing but mission after mission. She had never had the chance to truly take a good look at this world.

She stood right here, yet seemed completely out of place amid worldly life.

At his words, a flicker of interest flashed through Xiao Yi's eyes. She nodded gently, agreeing.

She had always obeyed Jiang Che's orders without question.

Since Jiang Che wanted to take her out for some fun, Xiao Yi naturally agreed.

Over the years, her footprints had covered every corner of the world, but she had only ever passed through in haste, never stopping for any person or anything.

Now that she had successfully left the organization, Xiao Yi also wanted to try making a change.

"Then let's go."

Jiang Che took Xiao Yi's slender hand and left the villa surrounded by a group of maids.

After arriving at the garage, Jiang Che drove a Koenigsegg out of Qingteng Villa with Xiao Yi and headed toward the center of Linjiang City.

After Jiang Che left, Qiang Zi followed at a distance with more than a dozen burly men in black, driving five Maybachs.

The Koenigsegg sped down the highway, and every car in its path moved aside.

After an unobstructed drive of roughly an hour, Jiang Che brought Xiao Yi to Star Cloud Building, the most luxurious shopping complex in all of Linjiang City.

Star Cloud Building was also one of the businesses under the Star Dome Group, and it was the most extravagant building in all of Linjiang City.

Here, one could buy nearly every luxury item imaginable.

Girls usually had little resistance to pretty dresses.

Since he was taking Xiao Yi around, shopping for clothes was naturally an indispensable part of the trip.

The building was packed with a surging crowd, with people constantly coming and going.

Xiao Yi seemed somewhat unaccustomed to this lively, prosperous atmosphere and instinctively reached out to hold Jiang Che's hand.

Jiang Che tightly clasped Xiao Yi's delicate hand, interlacing their fingers as he led her toward the clothing section on the sixth floor.

After reaching the sixth floor, Jiang Che entered an upscale women's clothing store and said with a smile,

"See if there's anything here you like..."

As he spoke, Jiang Che waved to a female sales assistant in the distance.

Seeing Jiang Che's gesture, the sales assistant hurried over at a jog and respectfully greeted him.

"Young Master..."

Star Cloud Building was one of the many businesses under the Star Dome Group.

During their onboarding training, the first lesson had been to familiarize themselves with every one of Young Master Jiang Che's preferences and hobbies.

So that whenever he occasionally visited Star Cloud Building, they could provide him with the utmost attentive service.

Jiang Che had previously brought other women here to buy clothes several times, so these sales assistants were all very familiar with him.
