The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Li Qiang nodded and said, "Of course I believe you, but I also believe that before I knock you down, none of your men will show up."

With that, Li Qiang charged forward like a fierce tiger.

Li Gongming had just gone through a battle and was exhausted, certainly no match for Li Qiang, and could only fall to the ground and take a beating.

In just over ten minutes, Li Qiang had already beaten Li Gongming into a pulp. Standing on the floor, panting heavily, he said coldly, "Why, after beating you for so long, my anger hasn't subsided at all."

With that, Li Qiang charged again.

This time, Li Gongming's cries were even worse than a pig being slaughtered, and they were extremely loud.

Li Qiang finally got tired and sat down on a chair, panting heavily as he looked at Zhao Wenjing sitting slumped on the floor and said, "You should realize that a man like this won't care for you."

When he spoke, Li Qiang gave a sinister smile and pulled Zhao Wenjing into his arms, his fingers starting to wander over her smooth skin.

"Li Qiang, you better get out of here quickly, or else..."

Li Qiang interrupted coldly, "Or else what, are you going to send someone to chase me? Sorry, I'm the one calling the shots now."

"You shameless..." Li Gongming angrily cursed out.

In fact, Li Qiang didn't really want this; he just wanted to strike back at Li Gongming, but didn't expect such a strong reaction from him.

Of course, Li Qiang wouldn't do anything to Zhao Wenjing in front of Li Gongming. He sneered coldly and said, "Li Gongming, you just have to answer two questions and I'll leave immediately."

Li Gongming looked stunned.

Li Qiang continued, "You just have to tell me, is Qin Tianlei the one instructing you to go against us?"

Li Gongming didn't say a word, clearly consenting.

Li Qiang felt a wave of anger in his heart; it was indeed Qin Tianlei, that bastard, causing trouble behind the scenes. He then asked, "How did Gu Qing end up with Qin Tianlei?"

Li Gongming still didn't speak, and Li Qiang lifted his right foot, kicking Li Gongming in the stomach, causing him to cry out miserably, "I'll tell you, the real mastermind behind targeting you is Gu Qing."

"Damn." Li Qiang cursed, then said nothing more, not even glancing at Li Gongming or Zhao Wenjing, and turned to leave.

After leaving Li Gongming's house, Li Qiang didn't dare linger, knowing Li Gongming wouldn't let him off easily. He needed to find a way to leave quickly. He had driven for only a few minutes when Ji Xiaohong called.

"Li Qiang, are you alright?" Ji Xiaohong's voice was surprisingly gentle, possibly because of Li Qiang's kiss.

Li Qiang chuckled and said into the phone, "I'm fine. Wait for me at home, I have something very important to tell you."

Ji Xiaohong hesitated on the phone, her voice timidly saying, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Li Qiang paused for a moment, understanding what she meant, and replied, "Don't overthink it, I have something important to discuss."

"Oh, then alright, I'll wait at home." Ji Xiaohong's voice on the phone sounded somewhat embarrassed.

Li Qiang stomped firmly on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like a fierce tiger. He feared Li Gongming might send someone after him, and he also wanted Ji Xiaohong to quickly learn about the next steps for Li Qiang's company.

Upon arriving below Ji Xiaohong's building, Li Qiang parked the car and went upstairs, not having to knock on the door as Ji Xiaohong was waiting for him at the door.

"How did you know I was coming?" Li Qiang asked, confused.

Ji Xiaohong chuckled and said, "I saw your car earlier. Come in quickly!"

Li Qiang suddenly felt that Ji Xiaohong wasn't as cold as she used to be; he smiled helplessly and walked in.

"Bring your laptop over." After sitting on the couch, Li Qiang said.

Ji Xiaohong brought the laptop, naturally sitting beside him, emanating a friendly feeling.

Li Qiang paused, looking at the screen, only to find that it was showing an educational film from Japan, his face breaking into a cold sweat, apologetically saying, "Sorry, I made a mistake, this isn't it."

Li Qiang always carried two USB drives with him: one for storing regular files and the other for collecting some Japanese educational films he considered good.

Li Qiang chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Alright, I made a mistake earlier."

After plugging the USB into the computer, Li Qiang finally felt relieved.

Ji Xiaohong kept a cold gaze fixed on Li Qiang, her expression seeming like she wanted to strangle him right away.

After a long time, the awkward atmosphere gradually disappeared, and Ji Xiaohong focused on the screen.

It took over ten minutes for the cold sweat on Li Qiang's face to disappear. After glancing at Ji Xiaohong, he slowly got up, intending to go to the bathroom, when Ji Xiaohong asked, "Do all men like to watch these movies?"

Li Qiang chuckled awkwardly, saying, "I don't know, I just watch them when I have nothing else to do."

Ji Xiaohong's face also had a slight blush, and Li Qiang turned around, heading toward the bathroom. He didn't want this awkwardness to linger between them, but Li Qiang soon thought of another issue. Ji Xiaohong was already discussing this with him, perhaps showing their relationship had progressed, and the thought brought a faint smile to his face, perhaps with a hint of mischief.

Coming out of the bathroom, he saw Ji Xiaohong looking at him with a serious expression. Li Qiang paused, asking, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaohong frowned and said, "From the information inside, it seems Li Gongming isn't only trying to deal with you, but the entire Sichuan University Group."

Li Qiang paused, realizing Ji Xiaohong might be right. He thought to himself: Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing, those two bastards, won't let go of their thieving intentions. I'd better notify Zhou Kai, Zhou Rui, and the others, so they're prepared.

Just as he was contemplating, he suddenly caught the fragrance from Ji Xiaohong's body, causing him to think of Zhou Wenjing's naked body, his gaze becoming unsettled.

Li Qiang's fingers moved like a devil's, slowly reaching towards Ji Xiaohong's leg, and just as he was about to touch her, his phone rang beside him, causing Ji Xiaohong to withdraw her leg quickly.

Li Qiang cursed inwardly; who was this idiot calling at such a time?

Seeing the caller ID, he realized it was Monk, causing his heart to tremble as he sensed something might have happened to Monk.

"Monk, calling so late, what's up?" Li Qiang said while glancing at Ji Xiaohong, noticing her face still blushing and looking shy.

"Monk, that's his name. Let me tell you, he's in my hands now." A strange man's voice came through the phone.

Li Qiang glanced at Ji Xiaohong, then walked to the window, asking, "Who are you, and why do you have Monk's phone?"

"Hmph," the voice on the phone scoffed, then continued, "I heard you're Monk's brother. If you truly are, come save him!"

Li Qiang furrowed his brow, looking out at the vast darkness, and said into the phone, "What happened? Why is Monk in your hands?"

"Hmph, let me tell you what's going on. Your brother was being unruly on my turf. If you want to save him, bring me a million, or I'll chop off one of his hands."

"A million!" Li Qiang exclaimed in shock, "Why don't you just rob someone?"

"Hahaha..." The call erupted in laughter, eventually the voice came through again. "With such an easy way to make money, why would I rob someone? You have one hour to bring me a million, or I'll chop off your brother's hand."

Li Qiang was trembling with anger, struggling to calm down as he said in a steady voice, "Let me speak with Monk."

"Sorry, he's already passed out and can't speak. If you really want to save him, better come quick, so he suffers less."

Before Li Qiang could speak, the other party hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Ji Xiaohong came over, worriedly asking.

The coldness on Li Qiang's face slowly faded, as he calmly said, "Monk was captured, and they want a million to ransom him."

"Li Qiang, I have money. You can take it to save Monk first," Ji Xiaohong said immediately, knowing Li Qiang's current predicament.

Li Qiang had followed Lin Chuan for quite some time and worked in business for so many years. He knew Monk being kidnapped at this time was definitely Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing's doing.

"Thank you." Facing Ji Xiaohong, Li Qiang was truly grateful, momentarily speechless to describe his gratitude.

For Li Qiang, the million wasn't much, but given his current situation, he knew he had to rescue Monk first.

Ji Xiaohong said, "Li Qiang, why are you being polite?"

Unable to resist, Li Qiang pulled Ji Xiaohong close, holding her in his arms.

After a while, Li Qiang released Ji Xiaohong and said, "I'm going to save Monk. If something happens, call this number." He said, handing Zhou Kai's number to Ji Xiaohong.

Ji Xiaohong's feeling for Li Qiang was true, as she hugged him back, saying, "Li Qiang, don't say things like that. I want you to come back whole. If not, I'll go with you."

Li Qiang didn't want Ji Xiaohong to risk herself, pretending everything was fine and saying, "I'm talking about 'if.' Don't worry about me; I'll surely come back for you."
