The following morning, Xiao Tian went to the Star Clothespany to work. Even though he was not in the mood to work, he had no choice but to do so because it had been two days since hest worked.


    That day, Shi Fei and Liang Jun announced to the public that Star Clothespany and Eternal Beautypany were cooperating on their new products.


    Since they had nned it a few weeks ago, everything was going well. And not only that, the response from the public was much better than they thought.


    In less than two hours, seven thousand products from the Eternal Beautypany and the Star Clothespany were sold.


    It was a new record for Xiao Tianpanies. It was true that both of hispanies were already well-known and on the rise, but selling seven thousand products in less than two hours was something that never happened before. This made Xiao Tian pleased and smiled from ear to ear.


    The truth was, he himself also didn''t expect it. Due to how happy he was, he had even forgotten about his problem with Liu Ning.

    Wuzo Town, The Chao Family Home.


    "So you''re saying my two sons were jailed by the police for kidnapping a woman and after being released from prison, they had a car ident on their way home?" a middle-aged man about fifty-five years old uttered.


    He was Chao Ming Hai, the father of Chao Ximeng and Chao Dong. Today he just returned to Shanghai from a business trip, but what greeted him was bad news about his sons.


    "Yes. it''s what the police officer told me." The maid responded. "I tried to call Madam and Sir, but…."


    She wanted to say that both Chao Ming Hai and his wife, Zhu Luan, ignored her calls, but she didn''t dare to finish her words because it would look like she was ming them.


    "So, until now the police still haven''t found them?" Zhu Luan asked with tears in her eyes.


    She knew that her two sons had bad personalities, but still, they were her sons, so as their mother, her heart broke into pieces after hearing the bad news about them.


    "The police stated they would try to find them as soon as possible." the maid spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "But because they found the young master''s car under the river, they suspected that ..."


    She wanted to say that there was a high possibility that Chao Ximeng and Chao Dong had died, but she could not finish her words.


    "No. I would not believe they died before seeing their corpses with my own eyes." After saying that, Zhu Luan looked at her husband. "Husband, you have to find him no matter what."


    Chao Ximeng and Chao Dong were their only children, so she didn''t want to lose them. And if they really were dead, she wanted to see their corpses.


    "Don''t worry. I will ask someone to investigate it." Like Zhu Luan, Chao Ming Hai was also sad.

    Nanli District, Blue Ice Lotus Gang Headquarters.


    "Tch, boring! They passed out too fast." One of Xiao Tian''s underlings said unhappily.


    In front of her, Chao Ximeng and the others passed out on the ground. Because Xiao Tian''s underlings kept torturing them, their bodies were covered in blood and bruises.


    Due to the injuries they had, Chao Ximeng and the others felt as if they were in hell. Xiao Tian''s underling didn''t care about their injuries and kept torturing them.


    It was also pointless to beg Xiao Tian''s underlings to stop because Xiao Tian''s underlings never listened to their words.


    It was as if they lived to entertain Xiao Tian''s underlings or were tortured by his underlings.


    Ever since they were imprisoned in the Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters, Chao Ximeng and the others finally understood a little about how scary hell was.


    If they could turn back time, they would not mess with Xiao Tian because he was a dangerous person. In their view, Xiao Tian was a devil in disguise. Even his underlings were cruel.


    There were many times where they wished them died so that Xiao Tian''s underlings would stop torturing them because they felt immense pain every time they were tortured by Xiao Tian or his underlings.

    Xufang City, Shenro Fountain.


    Currently, Liu Ning was sitting on the public seating near the fountain. Because she wanted to calm her mind and think about her problems, she traveled to Shenro Fountain after work.


    As usual, due to how beautiful she was, many men stole nces at her. Not only men, but even some women also stole nces at her.


    At the same time, two young men, about twenty-two years old, saw Liu Ning.


    ''What a beautiful woman!''


    "Zen, there is a gorgeousdy in front of us." A red-haired young man spoke abruptly. "Let''s get her number."


    "Zun, she is really my ideal type of woman," Zun responded. "I didn''t expect to meet ady as beautiful as her in this ce."


    "Let''s go." Zun wanted to get Liu Ning''s number as quickly as possible, so he didn''t want to waste time.


    Then Zen and Zun, a twin brother, walked towards Liu Ning confidently.


    "Hi, prettydy. Can I get your number?" Zun behaved nicely so that he would get a good impression from Liu Ning. He even tried his best to smile as dazzling as possible.


    "Yes. We want to be friends with you." Zen added. "Can you give us your number?"


    Liu Ning only stared at them without saying a single word. Even though she was having a problem with Xiao Tian, but she was still his lover, so she decided to ignore them.


    Zun and Zen were a little unhappy when Liu Ning was ignoring them. It was fine if she didn''t want to give them her number, but at least, she should not ignore them like that.


    Zun and Zen then sat on either side of her and spoke in unison, "Lady, don''t be so cruel like this. We just want to be friends with you, no more than that."


    Because Liu Ning didn''t want to be near them, she rose to her feet and wanted to leave.


    Zun and Zhen, who noticed that instantly blocked her path. "Lady, where do you want to go? We just want to be friends with you. Why did you reject it? Isn''t it a good thing to have new friends?"


    "Leave me alone!" maybe because Liu Ning''s mind was already in a mess, she immediately lost control when they blocked her path.


    At first, Zen and Zun had no bad intentions towards Liu Ning, but because she kept behaving rudely, they started to get angry too.


    Zen raised his tone. "Lady, we only wan-"


    However, before Zen had finished his words, Chun Hua grabbed his right shoulder from behind. "What are you doing?"


    Zun and Zen instantly turned around. When they saw Chun Hua, Ren Aoxu, and two other Blue Ice Lotus gang members, they were shocked.


    Currently, Xiao Tian was training martial arts at Lan Ruoxi''s ce, so he ordered his underlings to protect Liu Ning in secret.


    "Who are you?" Zen and Zun asked in unison.


    At this moment, they had no idea who Chun Hua and the others were because Chun Hua and the others wore normal clothes.
