Water splashed everywhere, and in the hazy light, Lu Chen suddenly felt a soft, smooth pair of lips seal his own, followed by sucking. Soon, a small, fragrant tongue darted out and slipped into his lips.
At the same time, two long, soft, yet incredibly strong legs, like two snakes, wrapped around his waist. Lu Chen knew then that these were the two long, white legs he had seen earlier.
Despite the chill of the pool, it couldn't extinguish the fire burning within Lu Chen. Without a doubt, this Liu Sha was a veritable enchantress; her hands even freely caressed Lu Chen's body, thoroughly arousing his passion.
In no time, Lu Chen was about to succumb. He had initially intended to push Liu Sha's hands away, but instead, he couldn't resist embracing her soft waist. The kiss turned into a passionate kiss, then into a mad kiss.
Lu Chen was filled with utter frustration. Damn it! He had succumbed!
Then, he felt Ryuse start pulling at his pants.
Holy crap, are we going to do *that* in this swimming pool? Never tried it before, Lu Chen suddenly felt even more excited. Just as his belt was about to be ripped off, suddenly, he heard strange noises outside.
Did he hear gunshots? And explosions?
Ryuse reacted faster than Lu Chen, pushing him aside and leaping out of the pool.
Large bubbles rose to the surface of the pool, and two bodies emerged one after the other. Sure enough, Lu Chen saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance—it really was an explosion. At the same time, there were gunshots and shouts from many people.
"Screw it!" Ryuse yelled angrily, "Intruder!"
Intruder? Lu Chen was stunned. The John Wen family was supposedly a powerful family with considerable influence in China. Who would dare to intrude? Did they have a death wish?
Regardless, Ryusa acted immediately. She hugged Lu Chen's head, kissed him hard on the forehead, and said, "Chen, we still have a chance. Dealing with business is more important!"
With that, she quickly climbed onto the swimming pool.
Lu Chen was stunned. No way? When did she undress? And take off her bottom first? Turning his head, he saw the black lace floating on the water and quickly grabbed it, throwing it onto the surface.
"Hey, put it on!"
Ryusa turned and caught it, smiling sweetly at Lu Chen, and actually put it on right in front of him.
Damn!
Watching the incredibly alluring woman sway her bouncy buttocks as she left, Lu Chen helplessly touched his nose. Sure enough, he'd touched a nosebleed! Sigh, this vixen…
Lu Chen nimbly darted back to his bedroom and changed into the clean clothes Ryusa had prepared. While changing, he looked out the window. The window offered a good view, and he saw a dozen or so men in black darting around the manor, occasionally tossing out something that looked like an aluminum can.
Those were at least homemade grenades; each one exploded in a large burst of flame, sending dust and debris flying. They left large craters in the walls. Many of them also held pistols, occasionally aiming and firing.
Meanwhile, many bodyguards within the manor sprang into action, outnumbering and much more muscular than the men in black. However, it was clear that the men in black were far more agile, and their purpose was obviously not to attack anyone, but to cause chaos and wreak havoc on the manor.
Amidst their frantic movements, the bodyguards, though professional, were overwhelmed, like headless flies.
From their figures, it was obvious that the attackers in black were Chinese.
Lu Chen scratched his head. What had the John Wen family done to deserve this? They were really going all out.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Chen strode over, first peeking through the peephole, then immediately opened the door and pulled the person inside.
It was Xu Jiaqi knocking.
She said in a panic, "Chen, what's going on? This is like a gunfight movie!"
Her beautiful face turned pale as she spoke.
Lu Chen hugged her tightly, gently patting her back. He said softly, "Jiaqi, don't be afraid. This is probably some enemy of the John Wen family. We'll just hide here, it'll be alright!"
"Are you really alright?" Xu Jiaqi seemed much calmer after Lu Chen's reassurance.
"Don't worry!" Lu Chen said righteously. He wouldn't miss the opportunity to show his loyalty to such a beautiful woman, and declared passionately, "Even if someone rushes in, I'll stand in front of you and won't let anyone touch you. My Jiaqi, only I can touch you! Anyone else who dares to touch you, I'll kill them!"
His words carried a hint of murderous intent. However, for Lu Chen now, he truly possessed such skill.
Xu Jiaqi felt a sense of relief and couldn't help but chuckle: "You little rascal, you really scared me to death just now. Hearing you say that makes me feel much calmer. But why does it sound like you're talking in a movie?"
Lu Chen grinned: "That's how heroes talk!"
As he spoke, he winked: "Come on, let me see if Sister Jiaqi's heart is truly at peace." Then, he reached out a hand and actually reached for Xu Jiaqi's breasts.
With a slap, Xu Jiaqi slapped his hand away: "You little rascal, always thinking of taking advantage of me!"
Suddenly, with a loud bang, something exploded outside, shattering the windowpanes, which rained down.
Instantly, Xu Jiaqi hugged Lu Chen tightly, her breasts pressing against his chest. At first glance, it looked as if she was taking advantage of Lu Chen.
Although he had a beautiful woman in his arms, Lu Chen's expression turned serious. He carried Xu Jiaqi to the bed, covered her with the blanket, and said firmly, "Jiaqi, lie still. I'll go check the window!"
He then kissed her alluring face.
"Watch out!" Xu Jiaqi cried out in alarm.
Lu Chen hid by the window, looking outside.
Clearly, the black-clad attackers were retreating; some were scaling the wall, others were providing cover. The bodyguards were rushing forward desperately, but were blocked by the attackers' bullets.
The bullets whizzed past the bodyguards' feet, kicking up clouds of dust. It was clear they didn't intend to kill; they were just there to cause trouble.
Soon, all the black-clad attackers had jumped out. They were incredibly agile; they were all high-level martial arts practitioners!
Suddenly, Lu Chen's gaze sharpened. Among the black-clad attackers, one figure looked very familiar…! Moreover, this person seemed to be a leader among them.
Who was it?
Lu Chen scratched his head. His memory was usually quite good, and he immediately remembered.
It was that Brother Dong!
He remembered about half a year ago, it was Liu Li's birthday, and she dragged him to the Golden Coast. They ran into Brother Dong with two thugs, who said his boss had taken a liking to Liu Li and wanted to take her away.
This boss was Du Ling, the head of Hongqing Hall, one of the four major underworld gangs in Yunzhou City. Later, Lu Chen invoked Pang Bei's name, scaring Du Ling and his gang into submission.
Afterwards, Lu Chen saw Gong Xiaoyi being forced to perform a striptease on the Golden Coast and caused a scene. It was Du Ling and Brother Dong who came out and held off Bald Qiang and his gang for a while until Pang Bei arrived and the conflict was resolved. Later, Brother Dong even invited Lu Chen out for drinks, but after that, they didn't keep in touch much.
Remembering that this Dong-ge was quite skilled, his full name was Xie Wendong, and he was one of Du Ling's top lieutenants.
"Why is he causing trouble here? Could Du Ling be the mastermind behind it?" Lu Chen scratched his head, a bit of a headache.
Speaking of Du Ling, his relationship with Lu Chen was quite good. He was Pang Bei's godson, and Lu Chen was Pang Bei's close friend despite their age difference. They had gone out for drinks a few times, and the two even addressed each other as brothers. Du Ling held Lu Chen, a young man several years his junior, in high regard.
That was to be expected, after all, Lu Chen and Pang Bei were of equal standing, and Du Ling knew that Lu Chen was no ordinary person.
By this time, all the men in black had darted out. Frank, who seemed to have emerged from some rat hole, clutched a gleaming gold pistol and started yelling:
"You bunch of idiots, useless trash! You can't even handle a bunch of Chinese bastards! What have I been doing raising you?! Hurry up and chase them! I'll give you three thousand dollars for every one you kill! Go!"
He was shouting with incredible bravado.
He never shouted when the other guys were still causing trouble.
Just as the bodyguards were about to give chase, a tall and slender figure appeared on the second-floor rooftop—it was Liu Sha. She calmly said, "No need to chase them. Put out the fire and strengthen the defenses! Frank, remember this isn't Australia, it's China. We're outsiders, so let's be more discreet."
"So we just let them get away like that?! What the hell?!" Frank was furious, jumping up and down.
Ryusei's voice was icy: "Frank, I advise you to find out who's trying to cause trouble for us. This can't happen for no reason. They seem very familiar with the area; even careful reconnaissance wouldn't be this meticulous! I suspect it's the locals from Yunzhou City! Do you understand what I mean?"
"Could it be them?" Frank's expression changed drastically.
"Hmph!" Ryusei's tone grew colder: "You'd better watch yourself. Clean up your own mess!"
Frank was silenced, a chill running down his spine.
Lu Chen stared blankly at Ryusei. She was now wearing a white, sheer, semi-transparent dress, which, under the moonlight, gave her an ethereal, fairy-like appearance. Underneath, however, she was still wearing two black pieces, clearly unchanged. The combination of white and black made her look like a seductive fox spirit or ghost emerging from the night.
Recalling their encounter at the swimming pool, Ryusei had been fiery and vibrant then, but now she was so cold. This is truly stunning!
Men, you know, love seeing a beautiful woman who's aloof and cold to others, but passionate and fiery towards them.
Just as Lu Chen was staring in disbelief, a horn blared outside, and two black Land Rovers pulled up. So late, and they still have guests?
Then, Frank's roar rang out: "Screw them! It's them! Those bastards from earlier, he sent them! Surround them and beat them to a pulp!"
At this shout, the bodyguards who had been trying to extinguish the fire rushed forward, quickly opening the iron gate and charging at the Land Rovers like ferocious demons. It looked like another bloody battle was about to begin!
