With Zhuang Xin gone, not saying a word, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they were quick-witted; otherwise, they would have been completely finished this time.

At the same time, the two turned to look at Liu Xiang, a cold glint flashing in their eyes!

This woman had almost gotten them killed. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have even considered coming back for revenge.

"Mr. Lu, I don't think... we can just let this go. If you hadn't been so sharp, we might be the ones lying on the ground right now," Zhao Hong said.

"Yeah, we might have been thrown into the river to feed the fish."

Lu Kang also gritted his teeth, rushed over, and kicked Liu Xiang several times. Liu Xiang let out a painful scream as he kicked her.

A short while later, the eight bodyguards returned. Lu Kang narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll leave this woman to you. You know what to do!"

They had been in business for so many years and knew many people. Before Liu Xiang got divorced, they had still been a little wary of her husband. But now, hehe...

Hearing their words, Liu Xiang felt her scalp tingle, and she cried out miserably, "No! Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhao, there must be some misunderstanding! Believe me, I didn't lie to you. Please let me go."

"Let you go? Dream on."

The two showed no mercy. They had the bodyguards grab Liu Xiang, gag her, and stuff her into a black sedan.

In the Koenigsegg, after Zhuang Xin dropped Qiu Qi home, he and Xu Chi went to Biyue Bay Beach.

They sat by the seaside, and Zhuang Xin stretched, asking, "Xu Chi, are you getting used to working at the construction site?"

"I'm used to it, hehe. How could I not get used to the job Brother Zhuang arranged? Besides, I know Brother Zhuang is grooming me. Everyone knows I'm Brother Zhuang's man, so they assign me technical tasks and let me handle important matters. I don't have to do any hard or tiring work," Xu Chi said with a smile.

"Hmm, that's for the best. Study hard. When the Summer Resort is built, I'll arrange a senior management position for you. Then, it will be up to your own abilities how high you can climb," Zhuang Xin continued.

"You got it, Brother Zhuang, don't worry! Oh, right, Brother Zhuang, besides those thugs who came to cause trouble last time, something interesting happened at the construction site."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Hehe!" Xu Chi chuckled sinisterly and pointed to a billboard behind the beach. On it was a female celebrity holding a microphone, singing under the starlight. "See? This celebrity is named 'Bai Lingxin.' I heard she only debuted a few years ago, but she's pure and lovely, and her singing is captivating."

"Oh? Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Zhuang Xin asked, a little puzzled.

"Ah, it's nothing much. I just heard from the foreman recently that this celebrity, for some reason, wants to come to Juncheng for a concert. She's also from Juncheng. Hearing that we're building a Summer Resort here, she sent an email asking to be our spokesperson."

"Our spokesperson? I've only just started construction. Who knows how long it will take until it's completely built, and someone's already rushing to be our spokesperson? We haven't even done any advertising..." Zhuang Xin was stunned.

"Yeah, isn't it strange? I only told you because it's so novel."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xin opened his mouth, and after a moment, he looked out at the beach and remembered something!

Before, in the background he had activated, there seemed to be something about a 'scandalous boyfriend of an idol singer.' He had wondered why this singer never appeared. So this was where she was waiting for him. No wonder the system rewarded him with the blueprints for the Summer Resort; it seemed to have been arranged long ago.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhuang?" Xu Chi saw his expression change and waved his hand in front of his eyes. "Brother Zhuang, you don't know her, do you?"

Zhuang Xin gave a wry smile. "Maybe... I really do."

"No way! Brother Zhuang, when did you get to know a celebrity? How come I didn't know? It's only been a few years, and you've changed so much."

Xu Chi looked at him in astonishment. Bai Lingxin had only debuted a few years ago, but she was absolutely stunningly beautiful, pure and lovely, and her singing was world-class, which is why she became famous so quickly. Despite the short time, this beautiful singer had become incredibly popular in recent years. She had countless fans.

"Forget it, forget it. It's too complicated to explain to you," Zhuang Xin waved his hand. He didn't feel like going home either; he was alone, and his parents hadn't returned yet. So, he found a hotel nearby with Xu Chi and stayed the night.

The next day, they woke up and went to a restaurant for breakfast. Outside, a convoy of luxury cars arrived and parked in front of the restaurant. A moment later, several women walked out, accompanied by a group of bodyguards. These women were all at least nine out of ten in terms of looks, not much worse than the idol singer they had discussed last night.

"Holy crap, where did all these beautiful women come from?" Three women walked in. The leader, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, wearing a black dress, a fur coat, and carrying a shoulder bag, calmly scanned the restaurant with her autumn-like eyes, finally landing on Zhuang Xin.

"Zhuang Xin!" The woman sat opposite him, a hint of softness appearing on her beautiful face.

"You are..." Zhuang Xin, holding his spoon, froze. He didn't recognize this woman at all.

Seeing his dazed look, the woman smiled faintly, her stunning beauty captivating. "You probably don't know who I am yet, do you? You can call me 'Zhuang Wanshu,' your eldest sister."

"My eldest sister?"

"That's right! Behind me is Second Sister 'Zhuang Nannan,' and Third Sister 'Zhuang Tong.' Our Great Grandfather wants to see you, so he specifically sent me to bring you back."

"Oh, oh, oh~ So you're from the Zhuang family."

Zhuang Xin understood. No wonder he didn't recognize them.

"Alright, if there's anything, we can talk in the car. It's not convenient here." Zhuang Wanshu, without any pretense of unfamiliarity, took Zhuang Xin's hand, patted the back of it, and they returned to the car.

Zhuang Nannan blinked and followed them into another car.

Zhuang Tong, on the other hand, tilted her head and studied Zhuang Xin for a few moments. With a slightly playful wrinkle of her pretty nose, she said, "You're not as unimpressive as I imagined. You're quite handsome. Let's go, my good little brother."

"Okay, okay..."

Zhuang Xin was dazed. He left Xu Chi behind and followed Zhuang Tong. Zhuang Tong pointed to Zhuang Wanshu's car and said, "Go sit with Eldest Sister. Eldest Sister has something to tell you."

"Sure." After a brief system reboot, Zhuang Xin's mind cleared. He just smiled and got into Zhuang Wanshu's car. As soon as he got in, he saw Zhuang Wanshu, who had been looking out the window, turn her head. Her profile, carved like white jade, made one want to look longer.

"What is it? Is there something on my face, Eldest Sister?"

"No..."

Zhuang Xin shook his head.

Zhuang Wanshu took out a small box. "This is our first meeting, and I didn't prepare anything special. I happen to have a jade pendant I've been collecting for a long time, so I'll give it to you. Don't worry, listen to Eldest Sister when we get back, and no one will dare bully you. I'm your Eldest Sister, and I'll protect you no matter what!"
