Chapter 395: A Tough Guy's Tender Side

With his current power, a mere Cult was nothing. At most, they would have three to five Grandmasters. He felt that if he went all out, he could take care of them in a few minutes.

After hanging up the phone, he heard a stirring from inside the room.

Lin Zhiqing was already awake. She opened her sleepy eyes and watched Chen Erbao walk in, her voice soft and languid as she said:

"Er Bao, you're up so early..."

Chen Erbao walked to the side of the bed and gave Lin Zhiqing's firm butt a light slap through the covers.

"Lazybones, time to get up. I'm taking you back to the factory in a bit, and I still have to go back to Bailong Village today."

Lin Zhiqing squirmed playfully and wrapped her arms around Chen Erbao's waist.

"No! I don't want to get up. Let me sleep a little longer!"

Chen Erbao slipped his hand under the covers, grabbing one of her plump breasts and kneading it gently.

"If you don't get up now, I'm going to start my 'morning exercise'!"

He pushed his hard Stabilizing Needle against her threateningly.

Lin Zhiqing's lower body was still tingling numbly; how could she possibly go for another round? She was instantly terrified.

"No, no! I'm getting up right now!"

She scrambled out from under the covers, her perfect, naked body revealed to Chen Erbao.

Seeing his marks all over her snow-white skin made Chen Erbao feel incredibly smug. He hugged Lin Zhiqing for a kiss, then slapped her perky rear a few times. As she let out a playful cry, he strolled out of the room.

"I'm going out to eat. I'll bring something back for you, okay?"

"Okay!"

Lin Zhiqing's sweet voice called back from the bathroom.

Last night, he had brought Gesang back and gotten him a room downstairs.

Chen Erbao went downstairs to Gesang's door and knocked.

Gesang had woken up even earlier than Chen Erbao and was meditating to circulate his energy. Hearing the knock, he quickly got to his feet.

"President Chen!"

The door opened, and Gesang bowed respectfully.

Chen Erbao waved a hand. "No need for all the formalities. You can be more casual from now on. Get ready. We're leaving after breakfast."

"Yes."

The two went downstairs to a small breakfast stall by the road and ordered some food.

As martial artists, both had astonishing appetites. This was especially true for Gesang. Without a proper Cultivation Technique, his efficiency at refining Spiritual Power was very low. He had to eat his fill at every meal just to maintain his peak physical condition.

The two of them ordered enough food to cover the table—enough for five or six people—leaving an old man eating breakfast nearby completely dumbfounded.

After they wolfed down their meal, Chen Erbao brought a portion of breakfast back for Lin Zhiqing.

Around 8:30 in the morning, the three of them left the hotel and headed for the factory in the suburbs.

"Gesang, this is my girlfriend. You can just call her Sister-in-law from now on."

"Zhiqing, this is Gesang. He's going to be my top general from now on. I met him last time we were at Changbai Mountain."

Gesang bowed respectfully to Lin Zhiqing. "Hello, Sister-in-law!"

Lin Zhiqing, on the other hand, was absolutely delighted to be called Sister-in-law, smiling so widely her eyes nearly vanished.

"Hello, nice to meet you! You're Gesang, right? You're so tall!"

Gesang was indeed taller than Chen Erbao, standing nearly six-foot-three. That, combined with his fierce demeanor, made him look like a gangster.

Gesang was clearly not one for small talk. Hearing Lin Zhiqing's compliment, he simply scratched his head and fell silent.

"Er Bao, are you planning to have Gesang manage your security company?"

Lin Zhiqing had assumed Chen Erbao had hired Gesang as a security instructor.

Chen Erbao chuckled. "Gesang's skills are no small matter. It would be a waste of his talent to put him in the security company. I have other plans for him. We might even need his help when we deal with the Huang Family."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing grew a little worried.

"The Huang Family is not to be underestimated. They must have their own resident Ancient Martial Artists. You have to be careful. Don't just use brute force!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The morning traffic wasn't bad, so the three of them quickly arrived at the suburban factory. Lin Zhiqing grabbed her purse, got out of the car, planted a kiss on Chen Erbao's cheek, and said with a grin:

"No fooling around with other women when you get back to the village. Or else... hmph!"

"I definitely won't!"

Chen Erbao swore, raising one hand.

Lin Zhiqing knew he wouldn't listen, but it wasn't like she could watch him around the clock. She sighed internally, gave Chen Erbao a wave, and turned toward the factory.

Chen Erbao watched her retreating figure, then pulled out his phone and sent a message to Bai Xiaoqing.

"I'll be at Hongyuan in a couple of days. We need to talk—the three of us, with Zhiqing."

Bai Xiaoqing was in her office processing documents when Chen Erbao's message arrived, making her heart skip a beat. After reading it, she gazed melancholically out the window, her face clouded with worry.

'It's all this scumbag's fault!'

'Now I have no idea how I'm going to face Lin Zhiqing!'

"Sister Xiaoqing!"

Bai Xiaoqing was staring blankly out the window when her office door was pushed open. A familiar, clear voice rang out, making her stand up subconsciously, her expression slightly unnatural.

"Zhiqing... have you eaten?"

Lin Zhiqing could of course sense Bai Xiaoqing's tension.

She pretended not to notice and said:

"I already ate with Er Bao... Sister Xiaoqing, did anything interesting happen on your trip?"

Bai Xiaoqing averted her eyes.

"We were just traveling every day, what could have happened...?"

'I was getting ravaged every night! For the past few days, I've felt like I'm floating when I walk, and my lower body is practically numb!'

Lin Zhiqing just said, "Oh," then grinned as she came forward to hug Bai Xiaoqing's arm and start chatting.

...

Chen Erbao and Gesang left the city and headed straight for Bailong Village.

"President Chen, there's something I forgot to mention yesterday..."

Gesang suddenly spoke up from the back seat.

Chen Erbao glanced at him in the rearview mirror and saw the conflicted look on his face.

"What is it? Just spit it out. No need to hesitate."

"My sister is still abroad by herself. If I'm going to be working for you, would it be possible to bring her here?"

Chen Erbao was surprised. He hadn't expected Gesang to have a sister.

"Of course, that's no problem. What about your parents? Bring them all over. What if the organization you left finds out you've defected and takes revenge on your family?"

Gesang scratched his head.

"No one knows where my family is... My parents passed away many years ago. My sister is the only family I have left."

"Where is she? Do you need my help?"

"She's in Israel. There's no need to trouble you, President Chen. I'll contact her and have her fly over herself. The only issue might be with her legal status."

"I'll take care of it. Just have her come over as soon as possible, before any complications can arise."

"Okay!"

Gesang immediately pulled out his phone and started contacting his sister over a secure network.

"My sister is a brilliant hacker. She should be able to help you as well, President Chen. She's a good kid!"

Gesang was typically a cold, expressionless brute, but when he mentioned his sister, a faint smile touched his lips.

Chen Erbao raised an eyebrow. It seemed even a man of iron had a soft side.
