After the fight, Wang Xiaoqiang released another girl from inside the Misou Ring. The girl had been scared witless. Just a moment ago, she had suddenly found herself plunged into darkness, entering an unknown and eerie place—a place she might never realize was the interior of the Ring.

"Asang," Amukan called out upon seeing the girl suddenly appear. Asang was his eldest daughter, Sangqi.

"Asang... Daddy is so sorry..." Amukan cried with remorse. It was clear that he held a deep affection for this daughter. In fact, she was the child of his first wife. Throughout his life, Amukan had played with countless women, but his only emotional attachment was to his first wife, and thus to his eldest children, including Sangqi. Now, his beloved daughter had been beaten by Wang Xiaoqiang, how could he not be heartbroken?

Alas, the debts of one's misdeeds always come due. In the past, I used violence to take women by force, and now retribution has come...

Amukan was filled with endless regret.

Wang Xiaoqiang had beaten Asang as a punishment for Amukan.

After it was over, Wang Xiaoqiang said to Amukan, "Amukan, are you satisfied with the punishment you received today?"

Amukan remained silent, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang with a glint of hatred still in his eyes.

"Answer me, are you satisfied? If not, I can give you more punishment..."

"Ah... yes, satisfied, very satisfied..." Amukan instantly became compliant upon the thought of his fourteen-year-old daughter still upstairs, and promptly responded with gratitude, "Thank you for your punishment, I will definitely remember this lesson and repent sincerely..."

Good!

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded in satisfaction. Scanning with his Divine Sense, he immediately detected that there were still people upstairs. He strode arrogantly up the stairs.

Watching Wang Xiaoqiang head upstairs, Amukan's face turned ashen, his lips trembling, but no words came out.

Wang Xiaoqiang reached the upper floor and entered a small room to find a girl around fourteen or fifteen years old, essentially a little loli,

Unhesitatingly, he struck her.

The little loli woke up, cowering and staring at Wang Xiaoqiang in panic, "You, you, what are you going to do..."

Hearing the girl's screams from upstairs, Amukan closed his eyes in pain.

When Wang Xiaoqiang returned downstairs, he said to Amukan, "That's enough, this matter is settled. I won't pursue it any further. But if you're not smart enough to stay out of my way from now on, the consequences will be even more severe..."

"Rest assured, I wouldn't dare to provoke you again, even if it kills me..." Tears of regret streamed down Amukan's face.

Wang Xiaoqiang returned satisfied to Splendid Dream Manor. Upon his arrival, he found Mozaren there. Mozaren bowed deeply to Wang Xiaoqiang, addressing him as 'Master', astonished that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base was immeasurably high. To Mozaren's shock, it was beyond even his ability to sense, which meant it was decidedly above Divinity Transformation.

"Mozaren, do you know what I just did?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked, somewhat irritably.

'This humble servant does not know,' Mozaren responded, heart pounding at the displeased look on Wang Xiaoqiang's face.

"Some guy named Amukan caused trouble at my gold mine, so I went to punish him a bit."

"Ah, this servant deserves death... this servant deserves death..." Mozaren immediately fell to his knees in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, trembling with fear.

There was an incident at his Master's mine, and as the local power, Mozaren hadn't even been aware. This was a grave offense.

"Visit my mine more often from now on. If there is a next time, I'll punish you along with them..." Wang Xiaoqiang warned.

"Yes, yes, yes, your servant will personally go and punish Amukan..."

"No need, I've already punished him. Do you know how I punished him?"

"Your servant does not know."

"I beat up all four of his daughters..." Wang Xiaoqiang revealed a self-satisfied expression. He felt he had become somewhat cruel and shameless. Unexpectedly, Mozaren showed a bitter smile, "Master, that punishment was too light. It's like scratching an itch..."

"Uh... How do you usually punish people then?"

"Annihilate their entire family." Mozaren spoke indifferently, as if discussing a mundane matter.

"Haha, seems like I am still comparatively compassionate." Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit better inside.

"Alright, Mozaren, now I have a task for you. Help me buy a plane; I want to fly it to pick someone up."

"Master, your servant will see to it right away..."

"You advance the money first; I'll pay you back later."

"No, no, this little amount of money, your servant can still afford. Consider it a token of your servant's respect for you," Mozaren earnestly said.

"Hmm, then you may go. You must secure the plane within three days."

"Yes," Mozaren withdrew to prepare to buy a private plane.

Xu Qingxue was about to give birth, and she was carrying twins. However, since there was a medical team within Splendid Dream Manor, there was no need for her to go to a hospital to give birth.

Of course, not only does Splendid Dream Manor have a medical team but also medical equipment, which is both very complete and advanced, just like the private hospitals in Hong Kong.

Speaking of Hong Kong's private hospitals, there might be many objections, but one thing for sure is that the charges of private hospitals in Hong Kong are very reasonable. They are the same as private clinics, and the wait is even shorter than at clinics. However, this is not the main topic I want to discuss today. What I want to talk about are the Mainland pregnant women in the hospitals – there are so many that the hospital has set up a dedicated payment window for them, and this window always has a longer queue than the one I went to for other payments.

While I was in the United States, I saw news from Hong Kong showing that pregnant women in Hong Kong were protesting in the streets. Mainland pregnant women were occupying public hospital resources, causing a shortage of beds for local expectant mothers. Thinking back to when I gave birth ten years ago in a public hospital, there were one or two Mainland pregnant women, but they were accompanied by police, as they were overstaying and would be deported after giving birth. Unlike nowadays, those who smuggled in by speedboat are almost non-existent, as they can come to Hong Kong legitimately with a Hong Kong and Macau pass.

The Special Administrative Region government took measures to increase the charges at public hospitals, so these Mainland pregnant women shifted to private hospitals with similar fees. Private hospitals aim to make a profit; as long as people can pay, they naturally won't be turned away. Several Mainland women I saw in line to pay were speaking fluent Cantonese. Not long ago, I accompanied a friend from the Mainland to a private clinic in Hong Kong for a prenatal checkup. I thought she might have trouble without a Hong Kong ID card, but that wasn't the case. As long as she had a valid pass, the clinic's doctor would help her book a bed in a private hospital, then give her a booking slip. With this booking slip, the Hong Kong Immigration Department wouldn't deny her entry during transit.

My friend chose to give birth in Hong Kong for a simple reason: she felt more assured by the medical facilities and services. As for the cost, six hundred Hong Kong dollars per checkup was cheaper than seeing a doctor in Beijing. She said she has never spent less than a thousand yuan for a checkup and always needed to ask for favors, unlike in Hong Kong, where you can go directly to the right doctor without needing to pull any strings.

Many Mainland pregnant women choose Hong Kong for their children to acquire permanent residency status, and of course, many are also seeking to avoid the one-child policy. If Hong Kongers want to complain, they can only blame the Supreme Court for making such a decision back then. However, this practice only began to become popular in the Mainland in the past two years, going to Hong Kong to give birth for residency status. So these parents haven't yet thought about the future. If their child grows up in the Mainland, education becomes a problem, as they can't enjoy compulsory education. If in Hong Kong, then they need to consider who will take care of them, as well as the cost.

Thinking back to California in the United States, there's a trend of Chinese postpartum care centers, mainly serving Taiwanese who are keen to have an American child. The method is simple, apply for a U.S. tourist visa after becoming pregnant, and when the time is right, stay at these postpartum care centers and later give birth at an American hospital. Even if they get deported, they at least have a child born in the United States. In the past two years, these postpartum care centers have seen an increase in Mainland clients. Unlike the Taiwanese expectant mothers, most Mainland pregnant women enter the U.S. on business visas.

It is much harder to give birth in the United States compared to Hong Kong, as obtaining a visa is the prerogative of the U.S. Consulate, requiring an interview, and one must be careful when passing through. However, a Hong Kong and Macau pass is issued by the Mainland's public security departments, and as long as it is legal and valid, Hong Kong has no reason to deny entry to the holder. Precisely because of this, controlling the number of pregnant women from the Mainland in Hong Kong is not easy, even though there are now dedicated inspectors at the border, but there are always lapses. Moreover, there are many ways to enter, and in Shenzhen, some cross-border cars tout for business because officials usually don't ask passengers to get out for inspections, making it much less likely for pregnant women to be discovered.

Seeing all this, I suddenly understand why there's still a lot of opposition to allowing Shenzhen residents free entry into Hong Kong in the future, as everyone worries that the number of residents with Shenzhen hukou will suddenly surge.

Wang Xiaoqiang's private medical team was different from private hospitals; this medical team served only him because they were employed by Wang Xiaoqiang. Indeed, maintaining such a medical team is certainly not cheap, but Wang Xiaoqiang didn't lack the money. Just five percent of the income from his gold mine was enough to sustain everything in Splendid Dream Manor.
