Chapter 2: Keep Moving!
The man in the black suit finally snapped out of his daze, apologizing repeatedly as he shut the door. "Sorry, sorry," he muttered. "Jack, what's going on?" his companions asked, having heard Li Nanfang's curses and now looking over. Jack, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, whispered, "A couple's in there, taking a bath together." The others, more focused on hunting down the blonde woman, just nodded and began searching the bedroom. They checked behind the living room sofa, under the bed, and inside the wardrobe, but found no one. The leader of the group rushed to the window, pushed open the shattered glass pane, and scanned the road below. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "She jumped out the window, let's go!" One by one, the men leaped out the window, using the air conditioners on the outer wall to descend like characters in a video game, quickly splitting into two directions and running off.
"Are those guys gone now?" Li Nanfang asked after a moment of silence. Just as he finished speaking, the beauty in his arms grabbed his neck, pressing his head firmly against the edge of the bathtub, her eyes blazing with anger. "Hey, you——" Li Nanfang started to struggle, but the woman raised her right hand and pressed a Browning pistol to his forehead. Li Nanfang quickly raised his hands in surrender, his voice trembling, "Don't, don't be hasty, let's talk this through." "Talk my ass!" the woman cursed, cocking the gun with a click. "Lady, this isn't my fault, is it?" Li Nanfang retorted, a hint of irritation in his voice. He could easily knock her out before the bullet left the chamber, but he didn't want to escalate the situation. After a moment of silence, the woman's expression softened slightly. "So, what do you suggest we do?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Li Nanfang shook his head, not knowing the answer. He wanted to tell her that since things had already gone this far, they might as well just enjoy it, but he kept that thought to himself. The woman seemed to read his mind, pressing the gun harder against his head. "You want to just let it go?" Li Nanfang quickly backtracked, "That was your idea." The woman's face turned pale for a moment before she clenched her teeth and made a decision. "Move!" she whispered fiercely. Li Nanfang looked confused. "Move what?" he asked. She didn't explain further, just pressed the gun harder. Li Nanfang finally understood and reluctantly complied. "Lady, I'm not that kind of guy..." he protested. The woman's eyes narrowed, her tone menacing. "Do you want to die?" "No," Li Nanfang replied honestly and reluctantly got to work. He had been with many women before, but this was the first time he was being forced at gunpoint. It felt strange, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Just as he was starting to get into it, the woman suddenly stood up with a splash. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing, it's just... this isn't that great," she said, disappointment evident on her face. She stepped out of the tub and walked towards her clothes, her steps a bit unsteady. Li Nanfang was stunned. "You're just leaving?" he asked. "Do you want more?" she retorted, aiming the gun at him again. Li Nanfang quickly raised his hands, signaling that he was done. "Kid, don't ever let me see you again, or you're dead," she growled, starting to dress. Damn, was that her first time? Li Nanfang wondered as he saw a hint of red in the water. He felt incredibly lucky.
Chapter 3: Perfect Rejuvenation
The woman had been gone for a while, and Li Nanfang was still in a daze, wondering if it had all been a dream. It was so bizarre that it seemed unreal, yet incredibly thrilling. He was frustrated that just as he was starting to enjoy the situation, the woman had lost interest and left without a care for his feelings. At least he still had his left hand—Li Nanfang lit a cigarette, taking a moment to reflect on what had just happened, when his phone on the nearby chair began to vibrate. He sighed, picked it up, and checked the caller ID before answering. An elderly voice came through the line: "Nanfang, what are you up to?" "Lying on a beach in Hawaii, soaking up the sun," Li Nanfang replied lazily, staring at the ceiling. "There are plenty of hot babes here with long legs and big butts. You old man should come and see for yourself." "You disrespectful brat, is that any way to talk to your master?" "Cut the crap. If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, I'm hanging up. Long-distance calls are expensive," Li Nanfang said, showing no respect for the old man. "Slow down, I do have something to say," the old man paused for a moment before slowly asking, "Do you remember Yue Zitong?" Yue Zitong? Hearing the old man mention this name, Li Nanfang's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of pain crossed his eyes. How could he forget Yue Zitong? Every time he thought of her, the door to his painful memories would creak open.Twenty-four years ago, a baby was born. According to the old man, the night the baby was born was filled with thunder and lightning, and a fierce wind howled. Yet, in the distant northwest sky, there was a red glow as if a fire was burning—this seemed like the kind of omen that would accompany the birth of a great person, but that baby was definitely not a great person. At least Li Nanfang was certain, because he was that baby who was abandoned at birth. He wasn't abandoned because he was the product of an unmarried mother; it was because he looked like an eighty-year-old man as soon as he was born, with wrinkled skin and age spots all over his body—congenital progeria. To this day, science has not been able to unravel the mystery of congenital progeria. It is only known that out of every eight million newborns, there might be one case, which is rarer than winning the lottery with a two-dollar ticket. Babies with progeria rarely live past the age of thirteen. Li Nanfang knew at the age of seven that he wouldn't live long. However, the old man who raised him solemnly declared that he was a savior sent by God to eliminate evil and save all of humanity... Seven-year-old children are easily deceived, so Li Nanfang looked forward to growing up quickly so he could become a savior. It was as if the old man was a relative of God; he said Li Nanfang would survive, and Li Nanfang did. Moreover, as Li Nanfang grew older, the age spots on his body began to fade, teeth grew, and his sparse white hair thickened and turned gray. Rejuvenation. Unlike other progeria patients who aged rapidly from birth and died, he aged in reverse, moving towards youth. He lived to the age of fourteen, looking like a normal—old man, though his eyes became clearer and deeper, retaining the innocence of a teenager. It was in that year that the old man took him to Yue's family in Jinghua, his master's hometown. At Yue's home, Li Nanfang met his master's youngest sister, Yue Zitong, who was two years younger than him. By seniority, he had to call her aunt. It was this aunt who ruined Li Nanfang's otherwise happy life—out of curiosity about women, he peeked at Yue Zitong while she was taking a bath. When she discovered that the monster brought back by her eldest sister was peeking, Yue Zitong screamed in terror, alerting everyone. The old man was the first to rush over and grabbed Li Nanfang by the hair, beating him mercilessly. If it weren't for his master's intervention, he would have been beaten to death. After this incident, his master no longer had the face to stay at her parents' home. Moreover, since her husband was already not well-received by the Yue family, she left with Li Nanfang that night. To punish Li Nanfang for his indecent behavior, the old man, despite his master's strong objections, sent him to a den of thieves abroad and sternly told him: You are just a monster abandoned by people. If you want to make something of yourself, you must endure great hardships! For ten years, Li Nanfang went through all kinds of hardships. Eventually, like plum blossoms that have endured the cold winter, he not only rejuvenated perfectly, becoming a standard pretty boy, but also found the meaning of his existence. On the surface, he was a respected private detective in New York. In secret, he transformed into a night ghost, appearing before those evil people and making them pay the price they deserved.
Chapter 4: The Master Will Cry
Li Nanfang suspected that within his unique body, there might be a terrifying devil always eager to wreak havoc on humanity. Whenever he did something good, like helping an old lady cross the street, he would feel incredibly agitated. But when he did something bad—especially when killing—he would feel an intense thrill, an irresistible urge to bite into someone's neck and drain their blood. However, after such excitement, he would always feel utterly exhausted, as if he had fallen seriously ill, and just wanted to collapse on the ground. This was his secret, known to no one, and he had no intention of sharing it. Now, hearing the old man mention Yue Zitong's name, the demon within Li Nanfang began to stir again, roaring and tempting him as usual: It was she who caused us all this suffering! Go, kill that scrawny, ugly girl and drink her blood! "No, she's my master's younger sister. I can't hurt her!" As usual, when Li Nanfang felt the demon's roar, his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes would twitch violently, and he would mutter breathlessly. The old man on the other end of the phone heard his muttering and asked, "What are you saying?" "Nothing," Li Nanfang took a deep breath, suppressing the demon, and calmly asked, "Why bring her up all of a sudden?" The old man paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I want you to go to her and protect her——" "What, you want me to protect her?" Li Nanfang interrupted the old man, scoffing, "Ha, are you joking?" The old man should know how bad an impression Yue Zitong had left on him: It was just a peek while she was taking a bath. It's not a big deal, and it's not like it would make her lose any flesh. Why make such a fuss and beat me half to death, causing me so many years of suffering? Since he knew all this, asking him to protect her now must be a joke, right? The old man retorted, "You don't want to?" Li Nanfang replied bluntly, "No, not even if I die!" The old man didn't force him, but said, "Alright then. But if anything happens to Yue Zitong, your master will cry." Li Nanfang would rather jump into a pit of fire, rather than kill everyone in the world! He didn't want his master to shed another tear because of him. This was the oath he made when he grew up, and it was his only oath. "Damn it——then tell me more," Li Nanfang had no resistance at all when the old man mentioned his master, and could only admit defeat. According to the latest news the old man had, someone was planning to harm his niece Yue Zitong, and he hoped Li Nanfang could provide close protection for her for a year. For the Night Ghost, protecting someone from harm for a year was no big deal. Although he despised Yue Zitong and would rather run naked around New York three times than do this, in order not to make his master cry, he had no choice but to comply: "Okay, when do I leave?" "There are two more things to note. First, you can't tell Zitong that she's in danger. If she knows, she'll be frightened, and pretty girls age faster when they're scared—that wouldn't be protecting her, it would be a crime." "Her? She has nothing to do with the word 'pretty,'" Li Nanfang said with a face full of disbelief, recalling the appearance of Yue Zitong ten years ago and making a vomiting gesture with his mouth. "Humph, my old man's niece, how could she not be pretty?" The old man snorted coldly, "Do you want to ask your master?" That old guy mentioned his master again. Even if Yue Zitong was an ugly girl with one eye, Li Nanfang would have to admit she was pretty with a pinched nose: "Alright, alright, she's pretty, okay? Hurry up and tell me the next thing." "This one is simple, what identity should you use to approach her." "A rich kid? I think that suits me best——" "Stop dreaming." "Damn it, then a well-mannered overseas returnee——" "Have you even graduated from junior high?" The old man interrupted Li Nanfang again, which made him very angry: "Nothing works, what do you mean?" "A convict who has served his sentence," the old man said slowly, "This one suits you well."
Chapter 5: Marrying a Monster
July 1st, Huaxia Qingshan City. In the conference room of the Kaihuang Group headquarters building located at 37 Tianqiao Street, more than a dozen company executives sat on either side of the conference table, listening to President Yue's speech. As a star private enterprise in Qingshan City, Kaihuang Group's main business was related to women. In this world, women's money was undoubtedly the easiest to earn. Anything they wore, applied to their faces, or held in their hands—if the deception was convincing enough and the price was high enough to make people wince—they would still cry and shout as they handed over their money, regardless of how hard their husbands worked to earn it. Today, Yue Zitong called this meeting because a consumer had suffered a severe allergic shock after using the company's depilatory cream, and fortunately, it was rescued in time without causing a fatality. This was a major incident and could not be taken lightly by Yue Zitong. Vice President Qi Hongjun, in charge of production, had been sweating profusely since the meeting began. Yue Zitong, who was usually quite aloof, was particularly angry today. She didn't leave any face for him in front of everyone, even saying the harsh words, "If you can't handle it, step down." It wasn't until Yue Zitong took a sip of water, lit a cigarette, and took a puff that everyone finally felt relieved and began to wonder why she was so furious. Little did they know, the real reason Yue Zitong was angry was because last month, while she was on her last mission in the United States, she accidentally lost her virginity. What bad luck! As the cigarette smoke curled upwards, Yue Zitong was reminded of the humiliating scene and the man who had taken her first time. In fact, after leaving the hotel that day, she regretted not shooting the man dead on the spot. But at the same time, she felt a certain sense of vengeful satisfaction: it was better to give her first time to anyone than to that disgusting monster. Ten years ago, that monster had dared to peek at her while she was taking a bath. When he was discovered, he was beaten half to death by her eldest brother-in-law. Yue Zitong had felt a bit sorry for him at the time. But the night her eldest sister took the monster away, her grandfather, disregarding her feelings, said that since they had some connection, they should get married when they grew up, according to the fourth rule of the Yue family. Although Yue Zitong was only twelve years old at the time, she was so scared that she fainted on the spot when she heard her grandfather say that. If it weren't for her mother, Yue Zitong would rather die than marry that monster. In order to ensure that her mother, who came from a poor background and was timid by nature, could live a happy and peaceful old age away from the scheming of the wealthy family, Yue Zitong agreed to marry the monster after a day of not eating or drinking, but with the condition that no one was to be told and that the Yue family would provide her with a substantial dowry. She wanted to live separately with her mother. Grandpa Yue agreed to her request, and Kaihuang Group became her dowry. Feeling deeply wronged by fate, Yue Zitong joined the National Security Agency at the age of sixteen to become a proud secret agent. Grandpa Yue didn't oppose her working as a secret agent, but he set a condition: she had to retire by the end of June at the latest and get ready to marry Li Nanfang. To ensure that she could become a qualified CEO, Yue Zitong had officially taken over the position of CEO of Kaihuang Group two years ago in preparation for her formal retirement. She had heard that the monster, who had peeked at her while she was taking a bath, had been taken abroad by her eldest brother-in-law not long after the incident. She didn't know if he had died outside, and there had been no news for many years. But last night, her grandfather had specifically called to say that the monster would come to Qingshan to find her today and told her not to be afraid because he had become a normal person now. Bah, even if he became a normal person, he was still a disgusting monster! Thinking of her delicate and tender body being trampled on by a disgusting monster, Yue Zitong felt like vomiting and gnashed her teeth in anger. The executives saw her like this and tensed up again, not daring to breathe heavily for fear of incurring President Yue's wrath. The conference room was deathly silent, so oppressive that it was suffocating. Seeing that her subordinates had been frightened enough, Yue Zitong's expression softened slightly and she said indifferently, "Dismissed." The executives all breathed a sigh of relief and left the conference room as quickly as possible, leaving only Yue Zitong's secretary, Min Rou. "President Yue, are you alright?" Min Rou, noticing that President Yue looked quite upset, poured her some water and asked softly. "I'm fine," Yue Zitong shook her head, then suddenly asked, "Isn't there a special recruitment today?" "Yes, as you instructed last week," Min Rou replied. "Alright, if you find a man named Li Nanfang among the participants of the special recruitment, don't make a fuss, just bring him to my office," Yue Zitong thought for a moment, then said. "Li Nanfang?" Min Rou was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, President Yue."
Chapter 6: Convict Released from Prison
After its establishment, Kaihuang Group promised to help the country solve the employment problems of five laid-off workers with families, three veterans, two people with disabilities, and one person released from prison every year. Every July 1st, they would come to Kaihuang Group with introduction letters issued by the relevant departments to participate in the interview. In fact, as long as they were willing, they would basically be recruited. The so-called interview was nothing more than the examiner arranging suitable work for them based on their performance. The recruitment was scheduled to start at 10 a.m., and everyone arrived early in the hall, discussing excitedly in low voices. After all, Kaihuang Group was the largest private enterprise in the Qingshan area, with great welfare benefits. It was not easy for ordinary college students to be recruited. As the time approached ten o'clock, the focus of the ten people's discussion turned to the last person who had not yet shown up - the convict released from prison. Undoubtedly, whether it was the laid-off workers who could not make ends meet or the people with disabilities with strong wills, they did not have much good feeling for convicts released from prison. In the eyes of ordinary people, those who had been in prison were just reformed scoundrels - so far, no scoundrel had been able to work in Kaihuang Group for more than a month. After all, scoundrels generally despise discipline and have high expectations. This year, would this lucky scoundrel be able to work for more than a month? They had no idea that the scoundrel they were talking about was coming here, touching his green and thin head, taking the bus, and cursing the damned old man in his heart. According to the old man's suggestion, it would be best for Li Nanfang to go to work as a convict released from prison, because no matter which company such a scoundrel went to, no one would dare to bully him. He could fully exert his spirit of recklessness and shamelessness and quickly establish a foothold. Li Nanfang was a little unhappy and asked if he could use another identity. The old man asked, "Are you a laid-off worker with a family? Are you a self-improving person with disabilities? Have you ever served in the army?" As far as I know, you have been caught by the police more than ten times, and each time you have made your master cry... You should be most familiar with the procedures in the cell. I can responsibly say that the quota for convicts released from prison in Kaihuang Group is for you! Well, well, you old man is right, I am a convict released from prison, it is only a one-year term, it is not a big deal, just treat it as a vacation - Li Nanfang asked again: then what benefits do I have? The old man said, there are, a bank card, with 100,000 yuan in pocket money, and a black military dagger, which was left to you by the high man who taught you how to beat people when you were in the bandit nest, it is best for self-defense. Li Nanfang said, the dagger doesn't matter, but the money is a little too little, the amount should be changed. The old man said good, good, changed to 50,000 yuan. Li Nanfang was furious and said, damn it! The old man said, I heard you curse me, now it's changed to 30,000 yuan. Li Nanfang said, be careful, I will beat all your teeth off. The old man said, if you do that, your master will cry - Well, Li Nanfang said, then how do I become a convict released from prison after being expelled and then imprisoned in my country? The old man said it's easy, your green card in the United States has expired long ago, as long as you commit a crime on the street and are caught by the police, you can fulfill your wish immediately. Li Nanfang asked, are you asking me to rape a beautiful woman?The old man said, don't think I don't know what you have been doing these two days, aren't you secretly investigating a rich woman, preparing to use your quackery to cheat her out of money? Li Nanfang said, I know, you want to expose me when I succeed in cheating, and then the police will arrest me and send me back to my country. The old man said you are really smart, just go with peace of mind. Remember, Yue Zitong is your aunt, you must not be rude to her, you must serve her like an elder, otherwise your master will cry - Li Nanfang also wants to cry. Originally, he was sent back to his country for fraud, but after being released from prison, he became a rapist. You need to know that among criminals, there are also levels. The highest level is those who commit murder at the slightest disagreement, they are the big brothers, and they will be respected by their peers in prison. The lowest level is the rapist. Li Nanfang was puzzled, everyone is a criminal, just because he had a label of "I am a rapist" on his head, why did everyone, whether human or not, want to step on him like a pile of shit, and he had to break all his teeth before he could change this unfair treatment. At five past ten, the bus stopped at the Kaihuang Group bus stop. Li Nanfang looked at the passengers around him who preferred to squeeze together but still kept half a meter away from him, and smiled at the old lady who was trembling after he forced her to sit down, and then stepped off the bus. When he got off the bus, he clearly heard the people on the bus breathe a sigh of relief. "Hey, it's not that serious, just because I'm wearing a prisoner's uniform, right? I should have taken the opportunity to touch that sexy young woman's thigh, which was always shaking in front of me, it's so uncomfortable." Li Nanfang sneered, walked with his chest puffed out and went towards the headquarters of Kaihuang Group.
Chapter 7: What a Coincidence!
Yo, this kid's got quite the personality, doesn't he? Afraid of getting caught as an escapee? When the security guards at the entrance of the hall saw Li Nanfang, who was dressed in a prison uniform, walking over, they immediately approached him. The leader, with a look of obvious disdain in his eyes, said, "Buddy, you're here for the special recruitment, right?" "Yeah," Li Nanfang replied, handing over his introduction letter and taking out a pack of cigarettes. "Here, have a smoke." "I'm sorry, but the company has a rule that we can't accept bribes during working hours," the lead guard said with a stern expression, brushing aside the cigarettes Li Nanfang was offering. He thought to himself, "Come on, who smokes six-yuan Red Flags? That would be beneath my dignity." You think you have any dignity? You're just a security guard. How dare you even use the word "bribe"? Li Nanfang thought to himself with a sneer. Am I in a place full of show-offs? After confirming that Li Nanfang's introduction letter was genuine, the lead guard turned and pointed to the hall. "Take that to the front desk. They'll tell you where to go for the interview." Just as the old man had said, scoundrels are always feared. The people in the hall, who were busy with their business, looked at him curiously when he entered. But as soon as he looked back at them, they quickly lowered their heads. The only exception was a pretty customer service girl, who gave him a warm and friendly smile. "Hello, may I help you with something?" "I'm here for the special recruitment. Here's my introduction letter. Please take a look," Li Nanfang said. In front of a pretty girl, Li Nanfang always managed to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, even though his eyes were a bit disobedient, rolling around on her face and chest. The demon inside him roared again: Pounce on her and take her! "Mr. Li, please wait a moment," the customer service girl said, pretending not to notice Li Nanfang's gaze. After checking the introduction letter,she made a phone call, whispered a few words, and then looked up with a smile. "Mr. Li, Secretary Min has asked you to go to the twelfth floor to the president's office. She wants to see you personally." Oh, it seems that the ugly girl already knew I was coming today and was afraid that I would embarrass her, so she specifically asked me to go to the office to see her. On the way here, Li Nanfang had already prepared to show off in front of the interviewer, but now it was useless. He was a bit disappointed. "She really enjoys luxury, doesn't she? The corridor is decorated so extravagantly," Li Nanfang muttered to himself as he walked towards the president's office on the east side after getting off the elevator. Just as he was about to reach the door, a young lady in a white business suit and black high heels walked out of the office. Huh, it's her!? Li Nanfang's body trembled in surprise, and he almost shouted out loud. This young lady was none other than the beauty who had had an "incomplete encounter" with Li Nanfang in the United States last month. Li Nanfang had thought that he would never meet her again in his life, but he never expected that they would meet again so soon, and it was in Yue Zitong's company. What a coincidence! Does Yue Zitong know that this beauty is not an ordinary person? Li Nanfang smiled warmly and quickly stretched out his right hand. "Hey there, you must be Secretary Min, right?" Li Nanfang had heard clearly when the customer service girl made the phone call that it was Secretary Min who asked him to come here. Given Yue Zitong's attitude towards him, she definitely wouldn't greet him personally, so this had to be Secretary Min. "Yes, I'm President's Secretary Min Rou," the beauty said coldly, her eyebrows furrowing as she looked at Li Nanfang's dirty prison uniform. She was about to scold him for not knowing the rules when she suddenly realized: His face looks so familiar! Compared to a few days ago, Li Nanfang, who used to have "black hair," was now a bald-headed guy in a prison uniform. It was normal that the beauty didn't recognize him at first. But she remembered his voice. After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed, "You—you!" "Yeah, it's me," Li Nanfang nodded with a smile and whispered, "Secretary Min, we really have a connection, don't we?" "You're Li Nanfang!" Yue Zitong gritted her teeth, wishing she could ask God why he was so partial to this monster, why she couldn't escape his clutches and had already lost her virginity to him a few days ago. Seeing Yue Zitong's pale face and trembling body, Li Nanfang thought she was afraid that he would expose her, so he quickly whispered to comfort her, "Secretary Min, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about that. I'm a smart guy. I know that only by keeping my mouth shut can I live longer." What kind of person Secretary Min was and what her identity was, Li Nanfang didn't want to care about for now, as long as she didn't harm Yue Zitong. "Alright, you better keep your mouth shut, or you're dead," Yue Zitong took several deep breaths and slowly regained her composure. She turned and pushed open the door, "President Yue, the person you're looking for is here."
Chapter 8: Shameless Man
"Let him in," a soft female voice came from inside the office. The office was spacious and extravagantly decorated, as if to flaunt her wealth. A girl in a black suit sat behind an absurdly large desk, busy writing something with a pen, without even looking up at him. Putting on airs, huh? Even if she doesn't like me, is it necessary to be so condescending? Li Nanfang knew that "Yue Zitong" was observing him in secret, and he sneered inwardly as he walked over and sat down on the sofa. After sitting on the white fabric sofa, Li Nanfang deliberately rubbed it a few times and shifted his position.The place where he had sat immediately had a buttock-shaped black mark. He hadn't guessed wrong; Min Rou was indeed observing him out of the corner of her eye. Yue Zitong had told Min Rou that the convict released from prison, Li Nanfang, was a distant relative from her hometown who needed special attention, which was why she was seeing him personally. Everyone might have an undistinguished relative or two; it wasn't strange for Yue Zitong to have a jailed relative. However, Min Rou didn't understand why Yue Zitong had her pretend to be Yue Zitong. Didn't Li Nanfang know Yue Zitong? Before Min Rou could figure it out, Li Nanfang was brought into the office by the fake Yue Zitong. Seeing this guy's good-looking, youthful face, Min Rou felt a bit regretful. Why did such a good-looking young man have to commit a crime? As she was thinking this, she heard Yue Zitong scold in a low voice, "Li Nanfang, who told you to sit down?" Min Rou was so focused on observing Li Nanfang that she didn't notice him deliberately dirtying the sofa. Li Nanfang was unhappy and rolled his eyes, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, Secretary Min, President Yue hasn't said anything yet, and you're already unhappy. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you were the boss." He hated people who acted superior, no matter how extraordinary the beauty's background was. He didn't care. "You—huh!" Yue Zitong was so choked that her face turned red, but she didn't know what to say and could only huff and look away. Li Nanfang didn't let her off the hook. He tapped the desk with his finger and said in a domineering tone, "Thirsty. Secretary Min, get me some water." Bastard, you're asking for it. Yue Zitong couldn't take it anymore and reached for her waist. She used to carry a gun with her before she retired, and in her rage, she wanted to shoot this guy's head off. But when she reached out, she remembered that she no longer had the right to carry a gun. Seeing her make this move, Li Nanfang's eyes flickered, and he feigned surprise by exclaiming "Wow, Secretary Min, do you carry a handgun with you? Or is there water there? But the position seems a bit off." "Li Nanfang, are you ever going to stop?" Seeing President Yue's expression change, Min Rou quickly stood up and slapped the table, then looked at President Yue, waiting for further instructions. I'll hold back for now, bastard. Yue Zitong bit her lip hard, turned around, and quickly walked to the water dispenser. She gave Min Rou a meaningful look, signaling her to proceed as planned. "Alright, I'll hold back. I just wanted to give you a few pointers on basic hospitality," Li Nanfang said with a smile, his eyes scanning her face as if they were a scanner. "Show me the introduction letter," Min Rou said, frowning at Li Nanfang's lecherous gaze. "Why did you come to the company dressed like this? Don't you care about your image?" "I'd love to dress up nicely, but I don't have the money," Li Nanfang said with a grin. "Of course, it's all thanks to President Yue—how about this: give me three to five million first, and I'll go buy some clothes." "Three to five million for clothes?" Min Rou was genuinely shocked. She had never met anyone so shameless, asking for such a huge sum of money from a woman without even hesitating, as if it were just a few bucks. "Yeah," Li Nanfang nodded, adding, "I have a very strong sense of self-esteem. I wouldn't ask a woman for money unless it was absolutely necessary. So, you'd better give me three to five million first, so I can spend my own money." "You must be dreaming!" Min Rou was furious. She completely forgot that she was pretending to be President Yue and was about to scold him when Yue Zitong, who was making tea, coughed heavily and gave her a meaningful look. Min Rou immediately understood and coldly humphed, "Watch your words. This isn't prison, you know. You can say whatever you want to those people, those convicts. Wait outside. I'll take a look at the introduction letter first."
Chapter 9: Call Me Auntie
Li Nanfang stood up and glanced at Min Rou's face again, smirking wickedly. "Heh, don't keep me waiting for too long, my patience is limited," he said. If President Yue hadn't been there, Min Rou would have really wanted to smash a cup in his annoying, lecherous face. As soon as Li Nanfang left, she burst out, "President Yue, your relative is just too——" "I know," Yue Zitong interrupted Min Rou, frowning slightly and folding her arms across her chest as she paced around. Grandpa Yue had already mentioned that Li Nanfang was no longer the same as ten years ago. He had created a miracle in the history of progeria by rejuvenating and becoming a normal person. But so what? No matter how perfectly Li Nanfang had "evolved," in her heart, he was still that disgusting monster! Moreover, he was the man who had taken her virginity. The thought of having any affection for him and marrying him made Yue Zitong extremely annoyed. Just then, as Min Rou was looking through the documents, she suddenly gasped, "Ah, so he's a rapist, a——" "What do you mean, a rapist?" Yue Zitong walked over, picked up the documents, and after just a few glances, she closed her eyes in pain, inwardly shouting in frustration: Grandpa, you're really pushing me into the fire, making me marry a monster, and to make matters worse, he's a rapist. Isn't this an insult to yourself? Although it was embarrassing for President Yue to have a rapist as a relative, it wasn't necessary for her to react this way, was it? Seeing President Yue trembling all over, her face pale, and on the verge of bursting into tears, Min Rou was puzzled and asked softly, "President Yue, are you okay? I think this Li Nanfang is not suitable to work in our company. Let's find an excuse to get rid of him." I also want him to leave, preferably to die, but I can't. After crying a few more times in her heart, Yue Zitong forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. Well, Li Nanfang's family had specifically told me before he came that he needed a chance to start over." Putting down the documents, Yue Zitong bit her lip and said, "Min Rou, I don't want to hide it from you anymore. Actually, this Li Nanfang is my——" "Don't you dare tell me that this scoundrel is your fiancé," Min Rou suddenly had this thought, which startled herself: Eek, how could I have such a dirty thought? "Stop daydreaming," as if realizing what Min Rou was thinking, Yue Zitong glared at her, then her face turned gloomy and she said, "He is a child adopted by my eldest sister. By seniority, he has to call me aunt." "Ah, he's your nephew?" Min Rou was stunned, then she cursed in her heart: What kind of nephew looks at his aunt with such a lecherous gaze? A typical scoundrel, a good-for-nothing! She must be cursing me as a good-for-nothing right now. But on second thought, she has become quite pretty, which is so unfair. Leaning against the corridor window, Li Nanfang looked at the distant clouds and cursed the old man who was playing tricks again. At ten past ten, the bus stopped at the Kaihuang Group bus stop. Li Nanfang looked at the passengers around him who preferred to squeeze together but still kept half a meter away from him, and smiled at the old lady who was trembling after he forced her to sit down, and then stepped off the bus. As he got off the bus, he clearly heard the people on the bus breathe a sigh of relief. "Hey, it's not that serious, just because I'm wearing a prisoner's uniform, right? I should have taken the opportunity to touch that sexy young woman's thigh, which was always shaking in front of me, it's so uncomfortable." Li Nanfang sneered, walked with his chest puffed out and headed towards the headquarters of Kaihuang Group.
Chapter 10: The Scoundrel Reform Plan
"Wow, this kid has quite a personality, doesn't he? Isn't he afraid of being caught as an escapee?" Seeing Li Nanfang, dressed in a prison uniform, walking over, the security guards at the entrance immediately approached him. The leader, with a look of obvious disdain in his eyes, said, "Buddy, you're here for the special recruitment, right?" "Yeah," Li Nanfang replied, handing over his introduction letter and taking out a pack of cigarettes. "Here, have a smoke." "I'm sorry, but the company has a rule that we can't accept bribes during working hours," the lead guard said with a stern expression, brushing aside the cigarettes Li Nanfang was offering. He thought to himself, "Come on, who smokes six-yuan Red Flags? That would be beneath my dignity." You think you have any dignity? You're just a security guard. How dare you even use the word "bribe"? Li Nanfang thought to himself with a sneer. Am I in a place full of show-offs? After confirming that Li Nanfang's introduction letter was genuine, the lead guard turned and pointed to the hall. "Take that to the front desk. They'll tell you where to go for the interview." Just as the old man had said, scoundrels are always feared. The people in the hall, who were busy with their business, looked at him curiously when he entered. But as soon as he looked back at them, they quickly lowered their heads. The only exception was a pretty customer service girl, who gave him a warm and friendly smile. "Hello, may I help you with something?" "I'm here for the special recruitment. Here's my introduction letter. Please take a look," Li Nanfang said. In front of a pretty girl, Li Nanfang always managed to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, even though his eyes were a bit disobedient, rolling around on her face and chest. The demon inside him roared again: Pounce on her and take her! "Mr. Li, please wait a moment," the customer service girl said, pretending not to notice Li Nanfang's gaze. After checking the introduction letter, she made a phone call, whispered a few words, and then looked up with a smile. "Mr. Li, Secretary Min has asked you to go to the twelfth floor to the president's office. She wants to see you personally." Oh, it seems that the ugly girl already knew I was coming today and was afraid that I would embarrass her, so she specifically asked me to go to the office to see her. On the way here, Li Nanfang had already prepared to show off in front of the interviewer, but now it was useless. He was a bit disappointed. "She really enjoys luxury, doesn't she? Even the corridor is decorated so extravagantly," Li Nanfang muttered to himself as he walked towards the president's office on the east side after getting off the elevator. Just as he was about to reach the door, a young lady in a white business suit and black high heels walked out of the office. Huh, it's her!? Li Nanfang's body trembled in surprise, and he almost shouted out loud. This young lady was none other than the beauty who had had an "incomplete encounter" with Li Nanfang in the United States last month. Li Nanfang had thought that he would never meet her again in his life, but he never expected that they would meet again so soon, and it was in Yue Zitong's company. What a coincidence! Does Yue Zitong know that this beauty is not an ordinary person? Li Nanfang smiled warmly and quickly stretched out his right hand. "Hey there, you must be Secretary Min, right?" Li Nanfang had heard clearly when the customer service girl made the phone call that it was Secretary Min who asked him to come here. Given Yue Zitong's attitude towards him, she definitely wouldn't greet him personally, so this had to be Secretary Min. "Yes, I'm President's Secretary Min Rou," the beauty said coldly, her eyebrows furrowing as she looked at Li Nanfang's dirty prison uniform. She was about to scold him for not knowing the rules when she suddenly realized: His face looks so familiar! Compared to a few days ago, Li Nanfang, who used to have "black hair," was now a bald-headed guy in a prison uniform. It was normal that the beauty didn't recognize him at first. But she remembered his voice. After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed, "You—you!" "Yeah, it's me," Li Nanfang nodded with a smile and whispered, "Secretary Min, we really have a connection, don't we?" "You're Li Nanfang!" Yue Zitong gritted her teeth, wishing she could ask God why he was so partial to this monster, why she couldn't escape his clutches and had already lost her virginity to him a few days ago. Seeing Yue Zitong's pale face and trembling body, Li Nanfang thought she was afraid that he would expose her, so he quickly whispered to comfort her, "Secretary Min, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about that. I'm a smart guy. I know that only by keeping my mouth shut can I live longer." What kind of person Secretary Min was and what her identity was, Li Nanfang didn't want to care about for now, as long as she didn't harm Yue Zitong. "Alright, you better keep your mouth shut, or you're dead," Yue Zitong took several deep breaths and slowly regained her composure. She turned and pushed open the door, "President Yue, the person you're looking for is here."
