Chapter 39 The Night Beauty

pital and take good care of your illness. And don't forget to have a doctor check on your brain!" Huang Haitao gave Qiu Ming no chance to explain himself, shouting sternly at him."Yes, Director Huang,...Chapter 1 Big and Little Beauties

Hearing the string of names from Summer, Liu Yunman was momentarily stunned before nodding: "Right, these people you mentioned are all related to those families. Do you know them"

"I do know them," Summer nodded.

"How could I not know them" Fang Xiaoru pouted, "Su Ziqiang was hospitalized after being beaten up by Summer this morning. Oh, and that handsome Mercedes driver Qiao Dongyun was also beaten up by Summer! The car got smashed too!"

"What" Liu Yunman felt dizzy, "You offended the Qiaos and Sus as well"

These people were among the most powerful in Jianghai City. Was he trying to offend them all It wouldn’t matter if something happened to him, but what about her family

The melodious ringtone sounded then. Liu Yunman took out her phone and her face paled even more.

"I'll go outside to take this call!" Liu Yunman hurriedly stood up and left the florist.

She walked nearly 200 meters away from Xinxin Florist before pressing the接聽鍵: "Hello, Mr. Gao."

"Yunman, I’ve told you many times that we don’t need to be so distant with each other," a magnetic voice came through the phone.

"Mr. Gao, I’ve also said many times that there should be an appropriate distance between us," Liu Yunman calmly replied.

There was silence on the other end of the line for ten seconds before he spoke again: "Is Summer really your husband"

"If I say no, would you believe me" Liu Yunman asked in return.

"No." Gao Mingyang answered quickly.

"Then does this question even have any significance" Liu Yunman smiled slightly.

"Indeed not," said Gao Mingyang with a smile. "Yunman, why don't you beg me to let him go"

"If I were to beg you, you would only resort to harsher measures against him." Liu Yunman sighed. "Mr. Gao, in this case, what do you think is the point of my begging"

"Yunman, it's true that you know me well," said Gao Mingyang with a gentle tone. "However, there are always exceptions to every rule. If you genuinely beg me, I can assure you, I will let him live."

"I once begged you before, but ultimately, the poor man ended up dying because of it." Liu Yunman's voice was tinged with bitterness. "So since then, I've decided never to beg you again."

"Yunman, you should understand that my feelings for you are genuine," said Gao Mingyang slowly.

"If your feelings for me truly are sincere, then please agree to one thing for me." After a moment of silence, Liu Yunman spoke up.

"What is it" asked Gao Mingyang.

"Give me two weeks. In those two weeks, you won't touch Xia Tian. Afterwards, do whatever you want with him," said Liu Yunman through gritted teeth.

"I will consider this." After saying that, Gao Mingyang hung up the phone first.

With the phone in hand, Li Yunman stood rooted to the spot for a while until the phone rang again and she snapped out of her daze.

"Doctor Li, there's an emergency patient. The hospital director asks you to return as soon as possible!" The call came from the hospital.

"Okay, I'll be right back!" Li Yunman hurriedly rushed back to the hospital without even saying hello to Xia Tian.

...

The phrase "Night Beauty" would cause a knowing smirk among men in Jianghai City. There was a popular saying about this place: Night beauty, day beauty, night after night of day beauty.

Night Beauty was the most famous nightclub in Jianghai City, rumored to have an abundance of beautiful women who could make every man reluctant to leave. Of course, it also had extremely high consumption levels; ordinary working-class people usually did not dare to enter such a place as one night there might cost them a year's salary.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the night had just fallen and Jianghai City's nightlife officially began. In one of the luxurious private rooms of Night Beauty, Gao Mingyang was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. Behind him, an exceptionally seductive young woman was gently massaging his head.

"Xiao Han, is it eight o'clock yet" Gao Mingyang suddenly asked in a gentle voice.

"It's still two minutes away." The young woman softly replied, "Little Qiao and the others should be arriving soon. I'll go out first."

"No need, just stay here," Gao Mingyang shook his head.

"Alright, Mr. Gao," the girl's face showed obvious joy.

Just as they were talking, someone pushed open the door and three young men entered, all around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

"Young Mr. Gao." The three of them greeted High Mingyang together and then found their own seats.

Sitting to the left of High Mingyang, there was a long-haired man who had an air of an artist about him; he had small eyes and nose, his looks were quite unremarkable, even somewhat sleazy. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big gulp before exclaiming: "Good wine!"

"When did Young Mr. Qiao learn to appreciate fine wine" The man seated on High Mingyang's right side said sarcastically as he lifted his own cup, gently swirled it around, and sipped lightly: "This is how you truly taste wine!"

The man was fully decked out in designer brands, almost brimming with wealth; it seemed he feared no one would miss that he was rich. His looks were decent enough to be considered handsome compared to Young Mr. Qiao.

"A nouveau riche who adorns himself with ten diamond rings doesn't have the right to say such things!" Young Mr. Qiao said somewhat disdainfully.

"Young Mr. Qiao, Young Mr. Ye, we are guests today; it would be best if all of us respected Young Mr. Gao and avoided any arguments for now." A large man opposite High Mingyang spoke up. Describing him as a fat man might offend many genuinely overweight individuals because this individual's physique was extremely slender for someone called 'fat'—he was more like a sumo wrestler!

"Xiao Can, we haven't seen each other in half a month; you've lost quite a bit of weight!" High Mingyang smiled slightly.

"Really" The large man was exceptionally excited. "Young Mr. Gao, can you see I’ve slimmed down Hey, Young Mr. Ye, Young Mr. Qiao, can either of you tell that I've lost some weight"

Young Mr. Ye rolled his eyes: "Do you think anyone would notice a 400-pound man losing ten pounds"

"Eh You actually know I dropped from four hundred to three hundred ninety pounds Really, can you tell that I've lost weight" The large man was even more delighted.

"Hey there, pretty lady, pour me another glass of wine!" That sleazy-looking Young Mr. Qiao had already finished his red wine and was now asking Xiaohan for a refill.

"Donghai, you have wine in front of you; help yourself," High Mingyang smiled faintly. "Xiaohan only pours for me."

"Oh" The three of them looked at Xiao Han together, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

“Thank you, Mr. Qiao, Mr. Ye, and Mr. Su.” A joyful expression appeared on Xiao Han's pretty face.

“Now, let’s talk about the serious stuff.” Gao Mingyang took out three documents from the sofa and handed them to each of the three people, “Take a look first.”

The trio accepted the documents and flipped through them; suddenly, an eerie quietness fell over the private room.

Gao Mingyang glanced at the three of them with some satisfaction. Although the Jianghai Four Young Elites are often mentioned together, it doesn’t necessarily mean they get along well among themselves. But he was the only one who could gather all four of them; therefore, he was undoubtedly the undisputed leader of the Jianghai Four Young Elites.

Slippery Joe Donghai loved to play the role of an artist the most, but his goal wasn’t art—it was for those beautiful women who dedicated themselves to it. He enjoyed drinking alcohol but had no understanding of wine; whether it was beer that costs two bucks a bottle or red wine priced at 210 thousand per bottle, he would drink them in big gulps.

The greatest pleasure for Mr. Ye Jie was to play the role of a nouveau riche. He wore ten diamond rings on his fingers and gave them away to women he liked; if they accepted his ring, it meant they were under his control.

Every beginning of the month, Ye Jie would put on ten rings, and with each one given out, there was one less left. If all ten were gone by the end of the month, he wouldn’t wear any for a while. However, come next month's start, his fingers would be adorned with another set of ten diamond rings.

Of course, halfway through this month, Ye Jie’s hands still bore ten rings; apparently, things weren't going well for him this month.

As for Su Xiaocan, her greatest pleasure used to be eating but is now losing weight.

The documents weren’t many, so the three of them finished reading quickly. However, they didn’t return the documents to Gao Mingyang; instead, they looked up at him and waited for him to speak because they knew he had more to say.

“I hope this person disappears.” Gao Mingyang gave a faint smile, “I believe you all wish the same. However, I don’t need your help in doing that; what I want is simply not to see any of your people when I act upon it!”

"High Sao, is it worth calling all three of us over for this guy" Ye Shaojie sounded somewhat unconvinced. "Don't you think too highly of him"

"Shaojie, there are some pieces of information that aren’t on the surface," Gao Mingyang said with a faint smile. "Aren’t you curious about why Ye Mengying was able to return smoothly to Jianghai City"

Ye Shaojie's expression changed slightly: "High Sao, what do you mean by this"

"Shaojie, there are some things we all understand without having to say them out loud. I just want to tell you that it was him who saved Ye Mengying in the repair shop," Gao Mingyang said calmly.

Ye Shaojie's expression darkened immediately.

"Shaojie, do you have any further questions" Gao Mingyang asked again.

"High Sao, you should know that in the Ye family, there’s someone I can’t control," Ye Shaojie said through gritted teeth.

"Is it Ye Xiaoxiong" Gao Mingyang seemed well-informed. "He doesn't need your concern; just handle everyone else."

"Alright then, when you’re ready to take action, give me a heads up," Ye Shaojie nodded.

Gao Mingyang nodded approvingly and turned to the other two: "Xian, Donghai, what about you"

"You can rest assured, High Sao. Nobody in our family likes that brat, so of course no one will help him," Su Xiaocan responded readily.

"There’s not much issue on my end either. Although I can’t convince Xiao Qiao to stay out of it, hiding this from her isn’t difficult," Qiao Donghai said after a moment's thought. "To be honest, I’ve been dealing with this brat’s troubles these past few days as well; if he really disappears, I’d be more than happy."st simultaneously.Liu Caixia quickly retreated to where the policemen were and pointed her finger at Xia Tian and Mu Han. "Officer, it was them! In broad daylight they robbed openly, even injuring so...
