Shen Jingzhe felt that something was amiss. She suddenly remembered the words Lin Xiao had said when he left last night. If that bastard hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he obviously couldn't have said such a thing.

As she thought about this, Shen Jingzhe's face grew incredibly hot. It wasn't just her face; her heart began to pound, too. She recalled what her master had once told her, "The first man to see your body will be your fated one."

Could it be that this bastard is really my fated one?

On the way to the bar, Su Qingning was silent, lost in thought.

"Honey, are you alright?" Lin Xiao asked.

Su Qingning's thoughts were pulled back to the present. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing!"

"Are you still worried about Su Qingfeng?"

"No!" Su Qingning said indifferently.

To be honest, she was indeed worried about that. However, Su Qingning was afraid that if she voiced her concerns, she would just make Lin Xiao worry along with her. She'd rather worry alone than have both of them concerned.

"By the way, honey, Chu Xiangxue is having a concert in Jinhai City in a few days. She saved a few tickets for us. Want to go?"

A concert?

Su Qingning suddenly found herself lost in memories. It had been a long time since she last attended a concert. Ever since her father left, she had been busy making money all these years, with no time for leisure.

"I can't. The bar will be opening then, so I probably won't be able to get away!"

"Alright, I understand!" Lin Xiao said with a smile. Since Su Qingning didn't want to go, Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't force her.

They soon arrived at the bar, where a brand-new Cullinan was parked quietly out front. Jia Meng was standing beside it.

With a single glance, Lin Xiao knew that Xiao Shixiong had arranged this. After his car was hit last night, Lin Xiao had called Xiao Shixiong and asked him to arrange for a new Cullinan.

Upon seeing Lin Xiao, Jia Meng quickly approached.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Xiao asked me to prepare this car for you. The keys are in the car, and all the paperwork has been taken care of!" Jia Meng said respectfully.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Right, thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Lin, you're too polite. It's no trouble at all. Please let me know if you need anything!"

"Alright, I will!"

Jia Meng nodded and quickly made himself scarce.

Su Qingning looked at the brand-new Cullinan with curiosity. "You bought another car?"

"Yeah, I got rear-ended on my way back last night, so I had to get a new one!" Lin Xiao said with frustration.

Su Qingning's heart skipped a beat when she heard Lin Xiao had been in a car accident.

She hurriedly asked, "You were in an accident? Are you hurt?"

"What's this? Are you worried about me?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

Su Qingning gave Lin Xiao a flirtatious eye-roll. "We're husband and wife now. Shouldn't I be concerned about you?"

The words "husband and wife" made Lin Xiao's heart bloom with joy.

"You have a point. But don't worry, I'm fine. If something had really happened, I wouldn't be standing here in front of you completely unharmed, right?"

Hearing this, Su Qingning finally felt her worries subside. But her heart was filled with even more regret that she hadn't gone with Lin Xiao to see off Chu Xiangxue yesterday. That way, if something had happened, she could have been by his side.

"Since you're okay, I'll go inside and check on the bar," Su Qingning said calmly.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Go ahead. The renovations should be finished today!"

When Lin Xiao left the bar yesterday, he had asked the construction foreman, who told him the work would be finished today.

Su Qingning nodded and headed into the bar. Shen Jingzhe followed closely behind. She had to. She'd promised Lin Xiao she would protect Su Qingning. Although there seemed to be no immediate danger, Shen Jingzhe still felt a little uneasy.

The two women had just left when Pei Donglai walked over.

"Nothing happened inside the bar, did it?" asked Lin Xiao.

"Captain, rest assured, everything's fine."

Lin Xiao nodded. "That's good. Oh, by the way, Chu Xiangxue is having a concert in Jinhai City in a couple of days. Yanzhi is a big fan of hers, and I have a few extra tickets. I'll get you a couple so you can take her."

"Captain, I appreciate the offer, but I'd better not. I'm on duty and probably won't have time!" Pei Donglai said hurriedly.

"Cut the crap. That's an order!"

Pei Donglai sighed helplessly. "Alright then. Thanks, Captain!"

"Nothing to thank me for. Get back to work. I'm going to grab some tea!"

Pei Donglai nodded.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to enter the security room, a sharp cry came from inside the bar.

"Who are you?"

The voice belonged to Shen Jingzhe. Judging by her tone, she was clearly in danger.

Without a second thought, Lin Xiao dashed into the bar.

On the first floor, four burly men armed with blades had surrounded Su Qingning and Shen Jingzhe. The men wore masks, hiding their faces, but their exposed eyes burned with malice.

Su Qingning's face was pale, her alluring peach-blossom eyes flickering with fear. She was an ordinary person, after all. It was only natural for her to be afraid in a situation like this.

A terrifyingly cold glint flashed through Lin Xiao's eyes the moment he saw this. How dare they use weapons to threaten his wife? Lin Xiao had no intention of letting them off lightly.

The problem was that his anger had already reached its peak. Once he made a move, these four scumbags would undoubtedly die. If Su Qingning witnessed that, she would definitely be terrified and plagued by nightmares. Lin Xiao didn't want that to happen.

With this in mind, Lin Xiao discreetly signaled Shen Jingzhe with his eyes.

Shen Jingzhe understood. Using the pretext of protecting Su Qingning, she lightly tapped a pressure point on her neck.

The next second, Su Qingning's eyes fluttered shut, and she collapsed limply into Shen Jingzhe's arms.

This was his chance.

Lin Xiao pounced on the four scumbags like a bolt of lightning. Even though they were armed, to Lin Xiao, they were nothing but trash.

Hearing the whoosh of air, the men spun around. The moment they saw Lin Xiao, their eyes turned even more vicious. Clearly, these scumbags had come for him.

Without a word, the four men viciously swung their blades at Lin Xiao.

He snorted with contempt.

In a single exchange, two of the men lay in pools of blood.

The remaining two were stunned. They exchanged a look, their eyes filled with terror. They clearly hadn't expected Lin Xiao to be so formidable.

Lin Xiao ignored the fear in their eyes.

"Speak! Who sent you?" he asked coldly.
