Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Li Xiaoyao drove the company's Mercedes, and within just over ten minutes, he arrived downstairs at Zhang Meng's apartment.

When he got out of the car, he saw firecrackers scattered all over the ground and couldn't help frowning.

Where did these firecrackers come from?

Li Xiaoyao released his psychic energy and immediately discovered that there was no one in Zhang Meng's home.

Li Xiaoyao looked up and saw a bright red "happiness" character on the window of Zhang Meng's room.

Li Xiaoyao's brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of the character "川".

Had he arrived too late?

Li Xiaoyao extended his psychic energy, quickly covering a ten-mile radius, encapsulating almost half of the county town.

Because he had been intimate with Zhang Meng, as long as she was within the range of his psychic energy, he would be able to find her immediately.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, a trace of anger in them.

He hadn't found Zhang Meng; within ten miles, there was not a trace of her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Xiaoyao's heart grew anxious. It was clear that Zhang Meng had been taken away by the owner of that gambling den, but where exactly, Li Xiaoyao had no idea.

Li Xiaoyao's thoughts raced, and soon, he thought of a plan.

Li Xiaoyao continued to release his psychic energy, searching inch by inch, and soon, he found his target.

Opening his eyes, Li Xiaoyao returned to the car, floored the gas pedal, and the car roared as it sped off wildly.

About ten minutes later, Li Xiaoyao arrived outside an old residential building.

Parking the car casually, Li Xiaoyao, with a stern face, quickly walked towards a ground-floor apartment and knocked forcefully on the door.

Yesterday evening, after several rounds, he felt as if his whole body had been drained.

Being woken up so early by someone knocking on the door made anger surge up in Lü Dong.

Lü Dong felt that he had been particularly unlucky these past two days. The previous night, while out eating barbecue with his buddies, he encountered a Top Grade woman but ended up getting beaten up by a man who came out of nowhere.

To make things worse, the man was so good at fighting that Lü Dong didn't have the slightest thought of resisting.

"Dong, who is it? Who's looking for you so early?" The woman's enticing voice came as she curled up naked in bed.

Lü Dong threw off the blanket and said while putting on his slippers, "I'll go take a look."

Filled with rage, Lü Dong walked to the door, ready to curse out whoever was there, but then he clearly saw the man knocking.

"Big… Big brother…" Lü Dong's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed.

How could it be this man?

Lü Dong would never forget Li Xiaoyao in his lifetime. The previous night, Li Xiaoyao had single-handedly beaten a dozen of them, his skill as sharp as a special agent from the movies.

And now, this man had come looking for him. Lü Dong's first thought was that he must have provoked him again somehow.

Li Xiaoyao paid no mind to his fear and commanded coldly, "Open the door!"

Where would Lü Dong dare say no? He obediently opened the door and watched with trepidation as Li Xiaoyao walked in.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Is there a gambling den in Changshan County?"

Lü Dong was taken aback for a moment. A gambling den? Seeing the impatient expression on Li Xiaoyao's face, he hurriedly said, "There's one, just one."

Li Xiaoyao's expression eased somewhat as he asked, "Is the person in charge called Liu Yang?"

The name Liu Yang was mentioned by Zhang Meng's father when he spoke to him the day before, and Li Xiaoyao had remembered it.

Lü Dong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it's Boss Liu."

Boss Liu? It seems Liu Yang has considerable influence in Zhangshan County!

"You have five minutes to get dressed, then follow me," Li Xiaoyao glanced at Lü Dong, who was wearing only his boxer shorts, and said succinctly.

Scared, Lü Dong implored, "Big brother, I don't know you, and whatever happened yesterday, you've already hit me. Please, just let me go."

Li Xiaoyao frowned and said, "What's with all the nonsense? Have I said I'm going to do anything to you? Stop the chatter and get dressed immediately."

After dropping that line, Li Xiaoyao turned and left the room.

He wasn't worried Lü Dong would dare to play any tricks, considering he was just a small-time thug.

A few minutes later, a fully dressed Lü Dong appeared, his face downcast.

Lü Dong immediately spotted Li Xiaoyao sitting in a Mercedes, and his eyes lit up.

No man dislikes cars, especially luxury ones.

At this moment, Lü Dong realized that the man before him was not only good at fighting, but also very wealthy.

Considering this, Lü Dong felt a spasm of fear.

Li Xiaoyao casually flicked away his cigarette butt and gestured to him, "Get in the car."

Lü Dong got into the car tentatively, and Li Xiaoyao said, "You help me ask where Liu Yang is right now."

Lü Dong quickly complied, making several phone calls before finally reporting, "Boss Liu is getting married today."

"Hm, where is it happening?" Li Xiaoyao naturally knew he was getting married today, but, in this not-so-large county, Li Xiaoyao had searched almost everywhere and still couldn't find Zhang Meng.

Lü Dong said, "In Zhang Shan Village."

"Zhang Shan Village?"

Lü Dong hurriedly explained, "Boss Liu is from Zhang Shan Village. According to our local customs, weddings are always held back in the bridegroom's hometown."

Li Xiaoyao started the car and said, "You navigate, I'll drive."

Lü Dong was startled. Li Xiaoyao's demeanor made it clear he was out to find Liu Yang, and by the look on his face, it seemed like he wasn't up to anything good.

"Big brother, what business do you have with Boss Liu? Today, after all, is his big day. Even if you have past grievances, you should pick another day, right? Don't you think that's the sensible thing to do?" Lü Dong suggested cautiously.

"Just navigate," Li Xiaoyao spit out two words coldly.

...

Zhu Xiaoyue lay in bed, her mind replaying the events of the previous night, and she couldn't help but blush, followed by a smile.

"That big bad guy," Zhu Xiaoyue murmured softly.

While calling him a big bad guy with her lips, in her heart she actually quite liked Li Xiaoyao's personality.

Zhu Xiaoyue's parents had introduced her to numerous men, but none could truly connect with her. When those men met her, not a single one didn't leer, either staring at her chest or her buttocks.

Although Li Xiaoyao could also be flirtatious, Zhu Xiaoyue could tell that, beneath the surface, he was a man of integrity who knew his limits.

"He's just a bit of a flirt," Zhu Xiaoyue huffed softly, then pouted, "But what can I do when the man I like is so outstanding?"

As Zhu Xiaoyue was talking to herself, a series of rapid footsteps came from the hotel stairs and quickly approached the room she was in.

"Beep beep~"

The sound of a room card swiping the door lock echoed, and Zhu Xiaoyue thought it was Li Xiaoyao returning, so she didn't think much of it.

But when a group of burly men, exuding a thuggish aura, barged in, Zhu Xiaoyue was immediately stunned.
