"Who?"

"Lord Liu San."

Su Qingning's heart skipped a beat.

"I see. I'm on my way!"

She hung up the phone and raced toward the bar.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"Someone is causing trouble at the bar."

"Who has the gall to do that!"

"Lord Liu San."

"And who is this moron?"

"He's Liu Shaoyang's uncle," Su Qingning said gravely, "and one of the two great enforcers under the King of Jinling City."

"And who is this piece of trash, the King of Jinling City?"

That comment startled Su Qingning so much she almost lost her grip on the steering wheel.

In all of Jinling City, only this moron would dare to speak of the King like that.

"Lin Xiao, don't court death. The King of Jinling City rules the city's underworld. He's powerful in both legitimate and criminal circles, with connections that reach the heavens. After all, he's a subordinate of Xiao Shixiong, the King of the Southern Town!"

What? King of the Southern Town, Xiao Shixiong? Is that the same guy who has to call me Lord Lin whenever he sees me?

An image of a man as round as a ball surfaced in Lin Xiao's mind. He couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Qingning asked coldly.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "It's nothing. Don't worry. Forget about a mere Liu San; even if the King of the Southern Town himself showed up, he'd still have to call me 'Lord'!"

Su Qingning glared fiercely at Lin Xiao. She was worried sick, but this guy still had the nerve to boast.

"Darling, even your glare is filled with such charm," Lin Xiao said with a grin.

I really want to take off my size-36 high heels and smack this damn rascal across the face. And then grind my stocking-clad foot on his face a few times.

"Oh, 'just' a Liu San, is it? And the King of the Southern Town has to call you 'Lord,' right? Fine! Since you're so amazing, *you* can go deal with Lord Liu San!" Su Qingning snapped.

I'll see if I can't cure this damn rascal of his bragging habit.

"Alright, I'll handle it. But honey, if I really do take care of him, what's my reward?"

Su Qingning grew even angrier.

This damn rascal must be out of his mind. Even a deaf person could tell I'm angry. My words were clearly spoken in a fit of pique, yet here he is, shamelessly asking for a reward.

"Hmph! If you can handle him, I'll sleep with you!" Su Qingning said huffily.

If her initial suggestion for Lin Xiao to handle Lord Liu San was just a bluff to scare him, now she was dead serious. Yes, she was truly determined to cure this damn rascal of his bragging habit once and for all.

Lin Xiao, however, was thrilled. Completely thrilled.

I thought it would take a lot longer to get physical with this girl. I never thought happiness would arrive so suddenly.

"Do you have black stockings?"

"I do. Not only black stockings but also lingerie," Su Qingning said through gritted teeth.

Lin Xiao was practically boiling over with excitement.

This girl has such a smoking hot body. How tantalizing would she look in that lingerie?

He didn't dare to imagine it.

As they spoke, they arrived at the bar. The place was luxurious—extremely so. The fleet of luxury cars parked out front said it all.

Now, seeing this bar, I understand. This is the source of her confidence.

Su Qingning had just entered the bar with Lin Xiao in tow when they were met with a strange sight. The usually bustling bar was now silent as a grave. The main hall was packed with burly men who exuded an air of menace, and the atmosphere was incredibly tense.

"Miss, you're back!" a man in his fifties or sixties said respectfully.

The man's name was Sun Jiazhong. Back when Su Qingning's father was alive, he had been the Su Family's butler. After her father passed away, he had stayed with Su Qingning and was now the bar's manager, handling its affairs on her behalf.

Su Qingning nodded. "Uncle Zhong, what exactly happened?"

"Lord Liu San claims we're selling counterfeit alcohol."

Su Qingning's heart tightened. She asked in a low voice, "Which private room is he in?"

"The Supreme Room."

"Uncle Zhong, reassure the customers. Tell them everything tonight is thirty percent off and that we'll be back to business shortly. I'm going to see Lord Liu San."

Impressive, Lin Xiao thought with admiration. Lord Liu San's disturbance was bound to upset the customers, but she had defused the situation instantly with that simple move.

"I'll go," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Su Qingning shot him a fierce look.

This guy really thinks he's something special.

A part of her actually wanted to let him go, to let him have his bragging habit beaten out of him for good. But she had thought it over on the way here. If she really sent Lin Xiao in, he wouldn't even know what hit him. This was Lord Liu San, after all—the kind of man who would eat you alive.

"You go help the bouncers at the door maintain order," Su Qingning said coldly.

What?

Lin Xiao was petrified.

Me? A man rich enough to buy a country, powerful enough to topple thrones... a man who's one step away from being invincible... and she wants me to work as a bouncer?
