If this were any other time, Liu Ergou would have definitely taken a few more glances. But right now, he was so furious that he completely disregarded the magnificent view before him.

He brazenly sat down opposite Mi Xiaoying and said coldly, "Mi Xiaoying, do you really think my patience is limitless? You endlessly trouble me, but are you not afraid I'll turn on you?"

Mi Xiaoying showed little reaction to his words. She simply said, "This isn't me looking for trouble; you brought all of this on yourself. Had you just come to see me at the beginning, would any of this have happened?"

At these words, Liu Ergou snorted. "Hmph. You think I, Liu Ergou, am someone who comes and goes at your beck and call?"

Mi Xiaoying didn't react much. "Alright, it's too late to talk about that now. Let me guess why you're here. If I'm not mistaken, you want me to return that 40 million to your two women, right?"

Mi Xiaoying's words made Liu Ergou's brows furrow tightly. "That's right. Return the money to them. I was the one who offended you, so if you have a problem, take it up with me! A man answers for his own actions, you hear me?"

His words only seemed to amuse Mi Xiaoying even more. "Good. I like that attitude. Since you believe a man answers for his own actions, I'll grant you that. I'll give you a chance to take responsibility."

After speaking, Mi Xiaoying retracted her foot, stood up, and walked over to Liu Ergou. Then, she placed her foot directly on his chest, looking down at him with an air of arrogance.

"You said it yourself. So, from now on, you'll be my dog. Just do that until I'm satisfied. Once I am, the 40 million will naturally be returned to you. Of course, if you feel that's not enough, I can add another 20 million. What do you think?"

Looking at Mi Xiaoying before him, Liu Ergou took a deep breath. "Sixty million... That's a tempting figure. Anyone would be moved by that, wouldn't they?"

His words made Mi Xiaoying laugh. "Glad you've come to your senses. Don't worry, I won't make it hard for you. As long as I'm happy, I'll definitely return the money."

She was certain she had him cornered. He would definitely act like a dog to get that 40 million back. After all, even a medium-sized company would struggle to produce 40 million in cash on the spot, let alone the fact that this was the life savings of his two women.

Seeing that Liu Ergou had gone silent, Mi Xiaoying suddenly extended her black-stockinged leg toward him. With a smirk, she said, "Liu Ergou, the most basic requirement for a good dog is very simple. Start by licking my foot. I'll tell you the rest slowly."

Liu Ergou didn't argue. He reached out and held her foot. His gaze traveled up her leg to her seductive thighs. Seeing his apparent submission, Mi Xiaoying's smile grew even wider. Liu Ergou, however, remained silent as he suddenly reached out and yanked the black stocking from her foot.

His action took Mi Xiaoying by surprise. "Tsk. Liu Ergou, I didn't realize you had such a unique taste. If that's the case..."

Before Mi Xiaoying could finish, Liu Ergou interrupted her. "Hey, Mi Xiaoying, have you ever heard a certain saying?"

His sudden question left her puzzled. She furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?"

She heard him continue in a relaxed tone, "There's a saying: 'Always leave a path for retreat so you can meet again on good terms.' What happened before was my fault, yes. But didn't I tell you? If you have an issue, come at me. Don't go after the people I care about. But you didn't listen. You insisted on backing me into a corner and crossing my bottom line. Since it has come to this, don't blame me for what happens next!"

Hearing this, Mi Xiaoying instantly sensed danger. Just as she tried to pull her foot back, Liu Ergou suddenly erupted, flipping her onto the ground. He lunged forward, pinning her beneath him. Grabbing both of her hands, he used the stocking he'd just removed to tie her wrists together.

His movements were swift. Mi Xiaoying had only just processed what was happening when he finished. But Liu Ergou gave her no chance to speak. He reached down, yanked the stocking off her other leg, and used it to reinforce the bindings.

Once he was done, Liu Ergou finally spoke. "Well now, rich people really are different. Even your stockings are this elastic and sturdy. They're more than enough to be used as rope!"

With that, he chuckled and squatted in front of Mi Xiaoying. "Ms. Mi," he said with a grin, "are you satisfied with my service so far? If not, I have other services available."

Hearing his words, Mi Xiaoying couldn't help but panic. The situation was no longer under her control. Staring at Liu Ergou in front of her, she swallowed hard.

"Liu Ergou," she said, her voice trembling slightly, "you'd better let me go. I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid! If you do, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Liu Ergou didn't respond to her threat, simply continuing to squat there, watching her with that same smile. Seeing his expression, Mi Xiaoying's heart sank. After a moment, she spoke again. "Liu Ergou, I was wrong this time! I admit defeat! Let me go. If you release me, I'll return the 40 million in full. Not a penny less! How about it?"

But Liu Ergou remained unmoved, and the smile on his face grew more and more unsettling, filling the terrified Mi Xiaoying with dread. Finally, he made his move.

Liu Ergou slowly stood up and began to undo his belt right in front of her.

Lying on the ground, Mi Xiaoying became frantic at this sight. "Liu Ergou! Stop! Do you hear me? Stop right now!" she screamed. "I'm telling you, if you dare to touch me, I'll make you pay even if it costs me my life! I will never let you go! Stop!"

Hearing her panicked cries, Liu Ergou only quickened his pace. Soon, his trousers were off and tossed aside.
