"Son of a bitch, do you have no shame? How can you be so despicable?"

Zhang Qixiang was so angry she felt like spitting blood, she'd never seen anyone so shameless!

Thinking of the environment here, her face reddened and her heart raced; she was a bit frightened.

But she was not too scared, as a loud shout would bring the security guards rushing over in no time.

Zhang Qixiang kept her voice well controlled, not too loud, but furious as she said firmly, "Let me give you some advice, you son of a bitch, don't even think about messing around here. My security guards aren't pushovers!"

Liu Zhizhong turned his head to look and, of course, could no longer see those retired special forces.

He nodded, "Indeed, they're not pushovers, very tough, so tough that they brought batons today, heh heh..."

His smile carried a taste of disdain.

Zhang Qixiang spoke coldly, "So you look down on batons as equipment?"

"Seems so. The forest here is quite dense, and batons aren't easy to swing around."

"They also carry wolf-toothed daggers, those can be used, right? That thing is meant to draw blood. I'm advising you to behave in front of me, to follow the rules, or else, if I killed you here, no one would know."

Liu Zhizhong gave another disdainful smile, "Disarming an opponent bare-handed is something I've specifically trained for, and I'm not afraid."

Zhang Qixiang glared and stamped her foot, "They also have guns on them, are you saying you're not afraid?"

Liu Zhizhong took a sharp breath, his face full of surprise, "Sister Qixiang, your men actually possess firearms illegally? That's quite bold! Once those are drawn, it's a threat to life."

"Heh heh..." Zhang Qixiang laughed, a sweet smile.

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses, with that smile, that intelligent and charming allure intensified.

"You scumbag, even you know that drawing a gun is life-threatening? Could the Zhang Family in Yangzhou be where they are today without guts? My men don't have many guns, just two, but that's enough to deal with you, right? If I killed you here today, there would be no trouble, rest assured."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, his expression serious now, "The Zhang Family's young mistress really is lawless, I can't afford to provoke you! Speak, what do you want to say?"

He certainly knew that now was not the time to mess with this wretched woman, serious matters were pressing.

A small sense of triumph flashed in Zhang Qixiang's heart, "Feeling cowardly now, have you calmed down?"

"That thing... they have two guns, and I only have one. How could I not be intimidated, how could I not behave?"

"You..." Zhang Qixiang suddenly realized, pointing at Liu Zhizhong, "You jerk! If you harass me again, I will kill you today!"

Liu Zhizhong quickly raised both hands, the picture of surrender, "Okay, okay, no more nonsense, you talk, you talk."

Zhang Qixiang felt relieved again.

In Yangzhou, couldn't she handle you?

Her face turned cold immediately, she pushed up her glasses and said lightly, "I have no other demands, just that video from the other night, you must permanently delete it in front of me. From then on, we'll act like this never happened. I won't trouble you, and you better not bother me either!"

"Eh... is that it?"

Liu Zhizhong's expression was one of surprise, obviously just acting.

"What else do you want?"

Liu Zhizhong smirked sheepishly, even touching his nose, "I was hoping that Sister Qixiang could give me a boost in my political career!"

"In your dreams! Don't set terms with me! With Ma Xudong's downfall, you can't make a comeback, and seeing that pleases me the most. Do you really think I'd protect you? That's wishful thinking! Which of your brain wires got crossed for you to have such a naive idea?"

"So I won't delete it," Liu Zhizhong said, his hands tucked in his pockets, wearing an 'I won't delete it, what can you do about it' expression.

Zhang Qixiang gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Do you need a gun pointed at you to delete it or what?"

Liu Zhizhong sighed, shaking his head, "Alright, you win again."

Saying this, he pulled out his phone, swiped, opened the video, signaling Zhang Qixiang to come over, "Come on, I'll delete it for you to see, permanently."

Zhang Qixiang let out a cold snort, "You bastard, you wouldn't believe it until I got tough! Hmph!"

Then, she still leaned in, her eyes landing on Liu Zhizhong's phone screen.

Instantly, Zhang Qixiang's face turned crimson.

On the screen, the video was paused, but the image in plain sight showed her, naked, straddling Liu Zhizhong under her own surveillance camera!

Liu Zhizhong had his eyes closed above, a pained look on his face, his hands spread open, an innocent posture.

That scene made Zhang Qixiang feel humiliated and furious. It was clearly she who took the initiative, she who climbed on and devoured Liu Zhizhong's wretched thing!

"Bastard, delete it, right now!" Zhang Qixiang's voice was heavy, her tone very forceful.

But just at that moment, Liu Zhizhong put away his phone and, with his left arm, wrapped around her waist, before she could scream out, covered her mouth with his right hand.

Even more extreme, Liu Zhizhong clamped her legs between his, carrying her and leaning back against a sturdy birch tree, a bit more comfortable for him.

He leaned in slightly, his mouth close to Zhang Qixiang's ear, and said in a low voice, "Sister Qixiang, don't scream, don't struggle, I have no ill intentions, I just wanted to pull out a gun, to get tough with you. So what if your security has guns? If you harbor the intent to kill me, couldn't I just snap your neck while you scream and shout? Do you want to die or live? Liu Zhizhong's damn life is worth nothing, my political future gone, my life in despair, to drag you, a delicate beauty, to the netherworld with me wouldn't be too bad, right?"

These words, so cold, so cruel, made Zhang Qixiang's skin crawl, and what was even more terrifying was...
