Seeing Zhuang Xin leave without saying anything,

the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they had been quick-witted; otherwise, they would have been completely finished this time.

At the same time, they turned back to look at Liu Xiang, their eyes flashing with a cold gleam.

This woman had nearly gotten them killed.

If it had not been for her, they would never have thought of coming back for revenge.

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

"Yeah. We might have already been thrown into the river to feed the fish."

Lu Kang gritted his teeth, rushed over to Liu Xiang, and viciously kicked her several times.

Liu Xiang let out agonized screams.

Shortly afterward, the eight bodyguards returned. Lu Kang narrowed his eyes and said, "This woman is yours now. You know what to do!"

The two had been in business for many years and had plenty of connections.

Before Liu Xiang's divorce, they had still been somewhat wary of her husband.

But now, heh...

Hearing them, Liu Xiang's scalp went numb. She cried miserably, "No, Manager Lu, Manager Zhao, there must be some misunderstanding! Believe me, I didn't lie to you! Please let me go."

"Let you go? Keep dreaming."

Neither man showed the slightest mercy. They had the bodyguards seize Liu Xiang, gag her, and stuff her into a black sedan.

After Zhuang Xin dropped Qiu Qi off at home in the Koenigsegg, he and Xu Chi headed to the beach at Biyue Bay.

The two sat by the shore. Zhuang Xin stretched and asked, "Xu Chi, have you gotten used to working at the construction site?"

"I have, hehe. How could I not get used to work arranged by Brother Zhuang? Besides, I know Brother Zhuang is grooming me. Since they know I'm Brother Zhuang's man, they assign me technical work and let me handle important things. I don't have to do the hard, exhausting jobs either," Xu Chi said with a grin.

"Good. Keep learning. Once the Summer Resort is built, I'll arrange an executive position for you. How high you can rise will depend on your own abilities," Zhuang Xin continued.

"Got it, Brother Zhuang, don't worry! Oh, right, Brother Zhuang. Besides those thugs causing trouble last time, something interesting happened at the construction site."

"Oh? What?"

"Hehe!" Xu Chi gave a sly laugh and pointed at a billboard behind the beach. A female celebrity holding a microphone was singing beneath the starlight. "See that? That female celebrity is called Bai Lingxin. I heard she debuted only a few years ago, but she looks pure and sweet, and her voice is captivating too."

"Oh? Why bring her up all of a sudden?" Zhuang Xin found it strange.

"Oh, it's nothing. I heard the foreman say that this celebrity suddenly decided to come to Juncheng for a concert. She's from Juncheng too. When she heard we were building a Summer Resort here, she sent an email saying she wanted to be our spokesperson."

"She wants to endorse us? We've only just started construction. Who knows how long it'll take before the place is fully built? Yet someone is already rushing to endorse us? We haven't even promoted it..." Zhuang Xin was stunned.

"Exactly. Isn't that weird? I only told you because it was so strange."

Zhuang Xin opened his mouth. A moment later, as he stared at the beach, he remembered something!

Among the backgrounds he had activated before, there seemed to be something called "the scandalous boyfriend of an idol singer." He had even wondered why that singer had never appeared.

So this was where she had been waiting for him. No wonder the system had rewarded him with the blueprints for a Summer Resort. It had all been arranged long ago.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhuang?" Seeing that something was off about his expression, Xu Chi waved a hand in front of his face. "Brother Zhuang, don't tell me you know her?"

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

"Damn! Brother Zhuang, when did you get to know a female celebrity? How come I didn't know? We haven't seen each other for that many years, but you've changed way too much."

Xu Chi stared at him in astonishment.

Bai Lingxin had only debuted a few years ago, but she was absolutely stunning, pure and sweet, and her singing was breathtaking. That was why she had been propelled to fame so quickly.

It had not been long, but in just those few years, this beautiful singer had already become incredibly popular.

She had countless fans.

"Forget it. I can't explain it to you." Zhuang Xin waved a hand. He did not feel like going home either. His parents had not returned yet, and he would be alone there.

So he and Xu Chi found a nearby hotel and stayed the night.

The next day, the two got up and went to a restaurant for breakfast. Outside, a convoy of luxury cars pulled up and stopped at the entrance.

A moment later, several women stepped out, followed by a group of bodyguards.

Every one of those women scored above a nine. Their looks were hardly inferior to the idol singer they had discussed the night before.

"Holy shit, where did all these beauties come from?" Three women walked in. The leading beauty had a graceful figure, wore a black dress and a fur stole, and carried a shoulder bag. Her calm autumn eyes swept over the restaurant before finally landing on Zhuang Xin.

"Zhuang Xin!" The woman sat across from him, and a trace of softness appeared on her gorgeous face.

"You are..." Zhuang Xin froze with his spoon in hand. He did not know this woman at all.

Seeing his foolish expression, the woman smiled. Her peerless beauty was utterly dazzling. "You probably don't know who I am yet, do you? You can call me Zhuang Wanshu. I'm your eldest sister."

"My eldest sister?"

"That's right! Behind me are your Second Sister, Zhuang Nannan, and Third Sister, Zhuang Tong. 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 now. No wonder he did not recognize them.

"Enough. We'll talk in the car. It's not convenient here." Zhuang Wanshu casually took Zhuang Xin's hand, patted the back of it, then rose and returned to the car.

Zhuang Nannan blinked and climbed into another car as well.

Zhuang Tong tilted her head and carefully examined Zhuang Xin for a few moments. With a playful wrinkle of her pretty nose, she said, "You're not as bad as I imagined. You're actually quite handsome. Come on, my good little brother."

"Okay, okay..."

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

"Sure." After his brief mental shutdown, Zhuang Xin returned to normal. He merely smiled and got into Zhuang Wanshu's car. As soon as he entered, he saw her gazing out the window. She turned around, and her profile, as though carved from white jade, made him unable to resist looking a few more times.

"What is it? Does Eldest Sister have flowers on her face?"

"No..."

Zhuang Xin shook his head.

Zhuang Wanshu took out a small box. "It's our first meeting, and I didn't prepare anything especially good. I happen to have a jade pendant that I've kept for a long time, so I'll give it to you. Don't worry. Once we go back, listen to Eldest Sister. No one will dare bully you. I'm your eldest sister. No matter what happens, I'll protect you!"
