Bae Joo-hyun appeared outwardly calm and fearless.

Her hand, hidden behind her back, secretly clenched a sharp gold hairpin, her eyes warily fixed on the man before her.

Qian Shaogang wasn't angry when he saw her aloof demeanor.

Instead, he smiled meaningfully:

"Alright, stop pretending. I know you volunteered to come to China this time not for the mission from the association."

"But isn't it to find your missing, unfortunate younger brother?"

Bae Joo-hyun's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes instantly sharpened.

Qian Shaogang thoroughly enjoyed her reaction and said slowly and deliberately:

"Stop wasting your energy, I've already found the person."

"Where is he?!"

Bae Joo-hyun's expression changed drastically; her facade crumbled completely in an instant, and she asked urgently, "Is Ji-hoon still alive?"

Seeing that he had her Achilles' heel, Qian Shaogang sneered:

"Want to save your brother? Fine."

His gaze roamed unabashedly over her graceful figure, as if he were appraising a treasure he was about to obtain.

"Be more proactive, come to my room tonight."

If you please me, I'll tell you where he is.

"Maybe I can even let you meet him."

"You're dreaming!"

Bae Joo-hyun was filled with shame and indignation, and she gripped the gold hairpin behind her tightly.

She gritted her teeth and refused sharply:

"Qian Shaogang, please have some self-respect. I am the Holy Maiden of the Unification Association, not someone you can humiliate at will."

"A saintess? Ha..."

Qian Shaogang looked as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and his expression instantly turned disdainful.

He leaned closer to Bae Joo-hyun and lowered his voice:

"Bae Joo-hyun, who do you think you are?"

Do you really think the Unification Council chose you as their saintess because of your abilities?

To tell you the truth, your cult leader chose you so he could hand you over to me.

"If it weren't to raise your own value, do you think you could be in this position?"

Hearing these words, Bae Joo-hyun was struck dumb.

She froze on the spot, her beautiful face turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Looking at her swaying figure, Qian Shaogang felt a perverse pleasure.

"Think it over carefully, my Holy Maiden."

After saying that, he laughed loudly and strode away, leaving behind only an extremely arrogant back view.

Meanwhile, in Cao Kun's Maybach.

Cao Kun frowned, as if he had remembered something, and turned to ask Qian Haoran in the passenger seat:

"Haoran, I remember there was a Korean assassin in your 'Explosive Gang'?"

During his trip to Kim Nin last month, Cao Kun's men captured a South Korean assassin.

After being trained by the spirit fox, it was handed over to Qian Haoran's Exploding Sky Gang for management.

Qian Haoran was playing on his phone when he heard this. He paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Boss, are you talking about that kid named Pei Zhixun?"

"Yeah, he's been doing pretty well lately, I even promoted him to squad leader."

Qian Haoran's hobby was collecting subordinates from various countries, and he was deeply impressed by this.

"Bae Ji-hoon... Bae Joo-hyun..."

Cao Kun muttered those two names, his brow furrowing slightly.

Could it be that the stunningly beautiful woman I met on the street today has some connection with this guy who got arrested?

Even... could it be related to that sinister unification?

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Cao Kun's eyes, and he immediately gave the order:

"Wang Meng, pass on the word: single out Pei Zhixun and put him under strict protection."

"Don't let him show his face anytime soon; I have a very important use for him."

"Okay, boss."

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Linjiang Mansion.

In the early morning, a ray of soft sunlight fell on the large bed in the master bedroom of the mansion.

Cao Kun slowly opened his eyes, feeling a heavy weight on his body.

He looked down.

Fu Die is on the left.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down the pillow, and her slender arms tightly embraced her neck.

Even in her sleep, she exudes a unique languidness and charm characteristic of mature women.

On the right is Huang Yumeng.

The girl's sleeping posture was quite unrestrained, with one of her long, slender, pink legs casually lying on her back.

One is mature and aloof, the other is charming and adorable.

Two completely different styles coexist in perfect harmony at this moment.

Since that day when they opened up to each other, the relationship between the two women has progressed by leaps and bounds.

Cao Kun didn't have to put in much effort to get them to agree.

Not only did it not turn into a chaotic scene, but it also gave him an extremely enjoyable experience.

Cao Kun took a deep breath and laboriously removed the lotus-like arms wrapped around his neck and the pink legs pressing against his waist.

Only then did he carefully extricate himself from the embrace of pleasure.

He put on a bathrobe, pushed open the French windows of his bedroom, and walked barefoot onto the spacious second-floor terrace.

"call--"

The moment I opened the door, a gentle breeze carrying the moist scent of the river caressed my face.

What comes into view is the surging Huangpu River and the busy boats shuttling back and forth on the river.

The Bund viewing platform, not far away, was already teeming with tourists.

The hustle and bustle of traffic is cleverly isolated by this top-tier mansion, leaving only a sophisticated sense of tranquility.

Cao Kun took out a cigarette and lit it.

Take a deep breath, then slowly exhale with the morning air, and you'll instantly feel refreshed.

Cool!

This feeling of overlooking the bustling metropolis of Shanghai is something that money can't buy.

Even giving him hundreds of millions in cash wouldn't buy him this moment of blissful joy.

Just then, the cell phone on the small round table on the terrace suddenly rang.

Cao Kun picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Su Yue.

Good morning, boss.

The video call connected, and Su Yue's pretty face appeared on the screen.

She smiled slightly:

"I have good news for you. The trading room has finally settled all the profits from this futures market transaction."

Cao Kun flicked his cigarette ash and asked with a smile, "Let's get straight to the result. How much did we make this time?"

Su Yue said, "After deducting all costs, the total net profit is 32.6 billion!"

"Adding to the company's original funds, Kunlun Trading's cash reserves have now exceeded 40 billion!"

Four hundred billion in cash flow!

This amount of money would be an extremely terrifying force anywhere.

Su Yue calmed herself down and asked:

"Boss, it's such a waste to have so much cash sitting in the account."

What are your plans for the next steps?

Cao Kun pondered for a moment.

No new hidden information has been obtained yet, and there is currently no clear target for this money.

"Let's leave it for now, it'll be ready at any time."

Cao Kun said calmly, "However, it's indeed time to move forward with the development of some physical industries."
