With the sound of several harsh rips, Su Hongli's silk nightgown was mercilessly torn apart.

Like a crazed beast, Duan Chunfeng grabbed Su Hongli's hair with one hand and pressed down on her back with the other, forcefully bending her at the waist.

"Duan Chunfeng, let go!" Su Hongli struggled fiercely, but she couldn't break free.

To her astonishment, she found that Duan Chunfeng was much stronger than before. She, a Grandmaster, was completely powerless to resist him.

Duan Chunfeng's face was flushed, the veins on his neck popping. He suddenly tore off the tattered remnants of the nightgown still clinging to Su Hongli's waist and sneered, "Did that pretty boy of yours treat you this way too?"

"What?"

"Speak up!" he roared, slapping her sharply on the backside. He cursed through clenched teeth, "You shameless whore!"

Su Hongli turned her head, her eyes glaring at him coldly. "Duan Chunfeng, we're already divorced. Please have some self-respect."

But Duan Chunfeng just let out a mocking laugh. "Self-respect? Do you really think you have any right to say that word?" he shot back. "Besides, I haven't signed the divorce agreement, so you're still my wife! Have you even considered what kind of losses the Su Family will suffer once we're divorced? And what about your work for the Audit Bureau? You use the Duan Consortium's wealth to maintain your intelligence network. If you leave me… what will you use to sustain it?"

Su Hongli sighed silently. She slowly turned her head back and stared blankly ahead, having given up all resistance.

Duan Chunfeng's voice was deep. "Feibai has been crippled by your pretty boy. You will give me a new heir!"

Expressionless, Su Hongli said, "If you're going to do it, then do it. Why all the useless talk?"

"Fine, you slut! Can't wait, can you? Tonight, I'll show you what a real man can do!"

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

Just as Duan Chunfeng's frenzy was about to peak, an untimely knock sounded at the door. He turned his head and glared at the nanny, who was pretending to be calm but whose face was flushed with embarrassment.

"What is it?"

The nanny stood at the door with her head bowed, her body trembling slightly. "Family Head… people from headquarters are here. The boss has arrived as well."

Hearing this, Duan Chunfeng's eyes widened. The lustful fire in his body was instantly extinguished. He scrambled off Su Hongli and quickly dressed himself.

"Quick! Go and attend to the boss. I'll be right there!" he ordered. "Hong Li, you get ready too! The boss is here!"

「Before long.」

Duan Chunfeng and his wife, Su Hongli, hurried into the living room. Duan Chunfeng was now impeccably dressed in a suit, while Su Hongli wore an elegant gown.

On the sofa in the hall sat a stunningly beautiful woman who appeared to be in her twenties. She had her legs crossed and was studying a financial report on a tablet. The breathtaking beauty wore a white Hanfu, exuding a fairy-like aura. Her long legs, wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, were partially visible, shrouded in a mysterious haze, yet seemed pure and noble—like the world's most exquisite work of art.

Duan Chunfeng lifted his head, stealing a glance at that beautiful face. The boss is still so gorgeous, like a heroine straight out of a storybook. His heart fluttered at the thought.

"Boss… When did you arrive?" Duan Chunfeng asked, his face wreathed in smiles as he approached, bowing and scraping. His posture was that of a grandson greeting his grandfather.

The Duan Family may have ruled Henghai Provincial City, but all of their power was thanks to this woman in the white dress. To her, the Duan Consortium in Henghai was merely a small personal treasury.

The woman in the white dress slowly put down her tablet. "A three-percent drop from last quarter, hmm," she said with a smile.

Duan Chunfeng jolted, his head bowing even lower. To an outsider, her smile was as refreshing and captivating as a spring breeze, but to Duan Chunfeng, it was the smile of the Devil.

"Rest assured, Boss… Next quarter, this humble subordinate will definitely make up for this quarter's losses."

"Forget it. You've worked for me for many years. I trust your abilities," the woman in the white dress said, casually tossing the tablet to the woman in a black leather jacket standing behind her. She then slowly got up and stretched languidly.

"I'm tired. I don't want to stay in a hotel. Find me a place to rest."

Duan Chunfeng hurried forward to lead the way. "Boss, your courtyard has already been prepared by the staff. I'll take you there."

On the way to the guest courtyard, after a few pleasantries, Duan Chunfeng suddenly said, "By the way, Boss, about that matter I mentioned to you before…"

The woman in the white dress smiled. "I'll lend you my bodyguard when the time comes. You can handle it as you see fit."

"Thank you, Boss!"

Duan Chunfeng was overjoyed. He glanced at the woman in the black leather jacket beside them, a cold, murderous intent surfacing in his heart—an intent directed at Luo Xiu. With the boss's bodyguard taking action, ten Luo Xius wouldn't stand a chance!

「Some time later, on the way back from escorting the woman in the white dress to her courtyard.」

Su Hongli asked, "Do you really intend to borrow the boss's people to deal with Luo Xiu?"

Duan Chunfeng gave a nonchalant smile, his tone slightly odd. "Why? Are you getting soft on him?"

Su Hongli's voice grew heavy. "I told you before, Luo Xiu has powerful backing. Someone you can't afford to provoke. If you insist on this, you'll only make things worse!"

Duan Chunfeng's face filled with disdain. "The boss has Her Majesty the Empress behind her." He gave Su Hongli a smirk. "No matter how powerful Luo Xiu's background is, do you think he can stand against Her Majesty the Empress?"

"But given Luo Xiu's temperament, he wouldn't fear even Her Majesty the Empress," Su Hongli replied.

At that moment, she couldn't help but recall the church in Africa not long ago. Back then, Luo Xiu had slaughtered everyone in that church, alone with his sword. The terrifying images still haunted her. Facing someone like him… she would rather die than become his enemy.

"Duan Chunfeng, I'm being serious. You're only going to escalate the situation. Listen to me and stop now. I'll go and persuade him to cure Feibai."

"Heh…" Duan Chunfeng smirked coldly. "The more you defend him, the more I want to kill him! You saw the boss's personal female bodyguard just now, didn't you? I heard she's a peerless Sky List Strong One. With a Sky List Strong One taking action, Luo Xiu is as good as dead tomorrow!"

Su Hongli said nothing more. She turned and walked away.

Duan Chunfeng grabbed her hand. "Where are you going?"

"None of your business!"

Su Hongli shook off his hand and strode away.

Duan Chunfeng watched her retreating figure, shaking his head with a light chuckle. Forget it. There's no point in dealing with such a frigid woman anyway.

「Feiyun Villa.」

Luo Xiu was walking and chatting with Xia Chan in the courtyard when the roar of an engine suddenly sounded from outside. Soon after, Su Hongli found him in a rush.

"Luo Xiu, you need to leave the provincial city right now!"

Luo Xiu looked at her, puzzled. "What's going on?"

"I'll explain later. For now, pack your things. Quick!"
