Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Hatred!
Jiang Zhengfeng listened carefully for a while but detected no unusual sounds from the other side.
He must be getting paranoid.
After all, once a man becomes impotent, it is easy for him to imagine his wife fooling around. Over the years, although Zhu Baixi had occasionally expressed her dissatisfaction, he believed she had neither the courage nor the opportunity to cuckold him.
She was constantly under the watch of his informants. Any man who so much as looked at Zhu Baixi the wrong way was found and thrown into the river to feed the turtles. He, Jiang Zhengfeng, would rather destroy something he couldnât use than let anyone else lay a finger on it.
After a pause, he continued, "Tomorrow, a shipment needs to be sent out. Itâs landing in Yuncheng City. Tianquan is short-staffed right now, so pull some of your people to help him."
Zhu Baixi bit her lip, her body slowly sliding backward, gradually picking up speed. She scoffed, "Heh, didnât you always tell me not to get too involved in the Jiang Familyâs affairs?"
"Why the sudden request for my help?"
"Bai Xi, how could you say such a thing? Youâre a part of the Jiang Family too!" Exposed, Jiang Zhengfeng immediately shot back with self-righteous indignation.
Zhu Baixi sneered internally but didnât argue. Instead, she asked directly, "Whereâs the location?"
"Wind Chime Ferry in Yuncheng City," Jiang Zhengfeng replied. "As for how to slip past everyone unnoticed, thatâs all been arranged."
"Fine!" Zhu Baixi snapped before hanging up.
The call ended, and she stopped holding back. She wrapped herself around Chen Xiao like an octopus, her crazed expression suggesting she wanted to absorb his entire powerful body into her own. Finally, with her long-suppressed passion uncorked, her unrestrained cries echoed as her soul soared to the heavens.
Chen Xiao reciprocated in full.
Gasping for breath, Zhu Baixi felt an unprecedented wave of satisfaction. Cuckolding Jiang Zhengfeng practically to his face was an indescribable thrill. The two most exhilarating experiences of her life had both been at the hands of Chen Xiao. Though she still felt no particular fondness for him, she had to admit his stamina... was formidable.
Chen Xiao grumbled under his breath, "Dammit, how come I feel like Iâm the one who got the short end of the stick?"
Zhu Baixi sneered. "You got your fill and still have the nerve to complain? Disgusting!" She could still clearly recall his excitement, a raw power that felt like it would split her in two.
She pulled a thin blanket over herself and said coldly, "Grab your things and get out. Iâll be honest with youâthose two guards are spies sent by that impotent worm Jiang Zhengfeng. If they find you here, neither of us will live to see another day."
"You might have been able to handle my guards, but you canât go up against the Jiang Family. Jiang Zhengfeng may be impotent, but his martial arts skills are enough to dominate all of Jinling City!"
"If he finds out you cuckolded him, youâll die a miserable death."
Seeing her speak about her husband with such contempt, Chen Xiao gave a mocking smile. "It seems you and Jiang Zhengfeng are truly at odds, sharing a bed but dreaming different dreams."
"Tsk tsk, when you think about it, heâs actually quite pitiful."
"He spends his money to keep you, and you spend your time figuring out how to protect me, your lover."
Zhu Baixiâs gaze turned icy. "My business with him is not for you to comment on!"
"Donât think that sleeping with me a couple of times gives you the right to run your mouth. Who do you think you are? Youâre nothing but a toy I use for my own amusement!"
Chen Xiao astutely noticed that whenever she spoke of Jiang Zhengfeng, her eyes filled with a venomous hatred and a chilling killing intent. He asked nonchalantly, "A moment ago on the phone, you mentioned a shipment from the Jiang Family?" After all, his current mission was to help Leng Baiyu find incriminating evidence against the Jiang Family, and he had just picked up a major clue from their conversation.
"None of your damn business!" Zhu Baixi retorted, lying on her side and exhaling slowly as she basked in the afterglow.
"Still playing wild, are we?" Chen Xiao said as he flipped her over and then...
Zhu Baixi let out a sharp cry.
What kind of monster is this guy? It hasnât been long at all, and heâs already... again...
SMACK! Chen Xiao brought his hand down. "Still feeling arrogant?"
"Is that all youâve got?" Zhu Baixi gritted her teeth, stubbornly holding on.
Chen Xiao had no intention of indulging her tough act. "Still arrogant? Still wild? Are you going to talk or not?"
"Iâll talk..." Zhu Baixi gasped, catching her ragged breath and grabbing his hand, her voice now pleading. "The Jiang Family does have a shipment theyâre moving out. I donât know its origins, only that itâs extremely valuable. It seems theyâre making a deal with some people from overseas."
Chen Xiao didnât stop, pressing her while her mind was hazy. "Overseas? Who?"
"I heard theyâre from Yang Country, a bunch of little devils," she panted. Under his relentless assault, she answered every question without a second thought, too overwhelmed to even try. She knew Chen Xiao and the Jiang Family had an irreconcilable feud. If he wanted to move against them, sheâd be thrilled to watch. The more the Jiang Family suffered, the happier sheâd be.
As she spoke, she took the initiative, straddling him and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Are you planning to rip them off and take the score for yourself? Why not team up with me?"
Chen Xiao smiled, tilting her chin up. "Team up with you? How could I possibly trust a woman like you?"
Zhu Baixiâs breathing hitched, her face flushing a deeper crimson as her movements grew more frantic. She bit out, "My hatred for the Jiang Family is every bit as strong as yours, if not stronger!" The mention of Jiang Zhengfeng only seemed to fuel her further. Her eyes blazed with hatred, as if cuckolding him was the ultimate way to unleash all her pent-up fury.
Soon, they both reached the precipice together.
Zhu Baixi greedily devoured everything Chen Xiao offered until she was utterly exhausted.
Tonight... I should be able to get a good nightâs sleep.
After a brief rest, Chen Xiao dressed and said coolly, "I suggest you stay out of tomorrowâs operation. Otherwise, you wonât even know what killed you."
Now that he knew the Jiang Familyâs plans from Zhu Baixi, he was determined to make his move and complete the mission Leng Baiyu had given him. If Zhu Baixi got caught in the crossfire, he wouldnât be able to protect her. She was, after all, a woman with whom he had shared a fleeting passion, and he didnât want them to become enemies.
Hearing his words, Zhu Baixiâs beautiful eyes flickered. "You mean..."
"Donât try to get information out of me," Chen Xiao cut her off coldly. "All I can tell you is that this is not something you can get involved in. If you do, youâll end up with no place to bury your corpse."
Zhu Baixiâs mind raced. Then, she broke into a captivating smile. "Do you want to know more?"
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Speak."
An inside informant wouldnât be a bad thing, but I still canât be sure if sheâs trustworthy. After all, the more beautiful the woman, the more likely she is to be a liar. An ambitious woman like Zhu Baixi is a ticking time bomb.
"Iâll contact you when I find out more," Zhu Baixi said, elegantly lighting a slender cigarette. "However, I have a condition: you have to use this opportunity to eliminate Jiang Tianquan."
"It seems your grudge against the Jiang Family runs deep. You really want to see your husbandâs two sons dead?"
Zhu Baixi blew a perfect smoke ring and said languidly, "I want more than his sons dead... I want him dead, too. This is just the first interest payment I intend to collect from him."
