"Ah..."

The woman let out a gasp of surprise and looked up to see a remarkably handsome face, as a faint scent of tobacco wafted from Liu Zhizhong.

Holding her, Liu Zhizhong quickly let go and smiled, "Sorry, beauty, I didn't mean to..."

But as he spoke, he was startled.

Because the beauty was truly very beautiful, even if her left cheek bore the imprint of five fingers, swollen frighteningly yet her beauty was still evident.

She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, very young.

A pretty fringe, fresh and pure facial features, graceful as a swan's neck.

Beneath a shoulder-baring fashionable short dress, her skin was snow-white and glistening, moist and radiant.

Sloping shoulders, jade-like arms, delicate collarbones, complemented by proud breasts, an incredibly slender waist, and lovely legs - she was so exquisitely beautiful, irresistibly enchanting.

However, on her swollen face, there were traces of tears, giving her a pitiful appearance.

But Liu Zhizhong had realized that she was Ma Qingqing. Even more gorgeous than the photo Ma Xudong had in his office!

Yet, subconsciously, Liu Zhizhong said, "Beauty, what happened to you? Your injury..."

"None of your business!"

The woman snapped irritably and dashed towards the door to run out.

Liu Zhizhong turned his head to see, and lo and behold, Ma Xudong, with a face flushed with rage, appeared at the top of the villa's front steps, his tall and stocky figure dominating the scene.

He roared, "You damn girl, don't bother coming back if you run out, I've had enough of your bad temper!"

My God, Secretary Ma's daughter is such a pure and celestial beauty!

However, in his bad mood, he had actually hit his daughter?

As a result, just a few steps after Ma Qingqing ran out of the door, she suddenly turned around and clung to the doorframe, screaming at Ma Xudong with a piercing wail, "I won't come back! I'll never come back! You think I want a terrible father like you?"

"GET OUT!!!"

Ma Xudong roared almost hysterically, his face contorted, which even frightened Liu Zhizhong.

Ma Qingqing's face turned pale, tears flooding out, her face etched with hopelessness as she hummed in distress and turned to run down the villa's street.

As she ran, she wiped away her tears, her sobbing was heart-wrenchingly sorrowful.

Liu Zhizhong couldn't bear it for a moment; the sight of her tearful turn had struck deep into his soul.

He immediately started to chase after Ma Qingqing.

But Ma Xudong bellowed, "Liu Zhizhong, get back here, don't you dare go! Let her run, the farther the better!"

Liu Zhizhong was instantly stunned, standing in place, poised to step forward, his heart torn as he glanced at the retreating figure of Ma Qingqing and then turned to his leader.

Can you disregard what the leader says?

What would be the consequences of not listening?

After a few moments of hesitation, Liu Zhizhong quickly ran over and pleaded earnestly, "Secretary Ma, please calm down! No matter what, Qingqing is your own daughter, and you only have one child, one daughter. She's as lovely as a flower and has been hit. What if something happens to her out there, in such a messy world, you know it. If you regret it later, you won't be able to make amends!"

Ma Xudong sat down heavily on the doorstep, his eyes bearing traces of tears, reeking of alcohol.

He sighed deeply, bowed his head and wiped his eyes, and without looking up, he waved weakly, "Go, Zhizhong, bring her back. If she doesn't come back, tie her up and bring her back!"

"Yes, I'll go right now! Stop drinking, I'll come back and join you," Liu Zhizhong responded as if wound up like a spring, and he took off.

He dashed out of the villa, jumped into the car, and sped off in pursuit, nearly colliding with two night patrol security guards at the turn.

The security guards had also heard the screams and thought something had happened, kindly coming over to check.

Watching Liu Zhizhong's swift reaction, Ma Xudong felt reassured.

After all, Liu Zhizhong's words had struck a nerve; the young man was right.

He sat on the doorstep, his mind unconsciously drifting to many things, his eyes wet again.

Behind him, two attractive sister-like maids didn't dare to come over and comfort him, knowing he was drunk and in a bad mood, careful not to displease him.

But after a while, Ma Xudong still called out to them, "Come here, help me inside."

The maids rushed over as if they had received a royal decree, carefully supporting the tall and heavy Ma Xudong into the house on either side.

Ma Xudong, thickset and deep in drink, really couldn't get up from the ground; with the maids' help, he managed, enjoying the luxury of assistance.

Once inside and seated, Ma Xudong instructed them to prepare some specialty dishes in the kitchen, to later join him and Liu Zhizhong for a drink.

As the maids were about to head to the kitchen, Ma Xudong, still clever and quite flirtatious even inebriated, said, "Liu Zhizhong is my secretary, a rare talent. Tonight, you two will keep him company in bed to serve him well, do you hear me?"

The maids were startled, but exchanged a glance and agreed without a second word.

They were well-compensated here, as Ma Xudong's slaves. Whatever the master arranged was the rule.

Moreover, they too had seen that Liu Zhizhong was a tall and handsome young man, vigorous and strong, naturally appealing to their mature tastes.

Unwittingly, they were even looking forward to it...

Liu Zhizhong could never have imagined that while he was out chasing after his leader's daughter, his leader was arranging his sex life.

Such a leader who was willing to share the women of his household with his secretary was rare indeed, and quite generous, wasn't he?
