Bang bang bang!
The knocking on the door grew louder and more urgent.
"Everyone inside, listen up! Room check!" Lucas stood outside the door, raising his voice. "Open up now, or I'm coming in!"
Thump thump thump!
After a moment, Lucas heard a frantic clattering sound from inside.
It was chaotic.
They seemed quite flustered.
Of course, that was normal. He was here to catch someone in the act. The arrival of a 'living Lei Feng' would make anyone panic.
Soon,
the door opened.
It was a man with disheveled hair, his body reeking of the pungent, post-exertion scent of male sweat.
He was a young, handsome, delicate-looking pretty boy.
The so-called 'Prince Charming.'
His lips were slightly purple. He looked at Lucas with irritation and wariness. "Who are you, knocking on my door in the middle of the night?"
He was in the middle of something.
What the hell are you doing?
You almost scared the life out of him.
Lucas ignored him and pushed past to enter.
Seeing his rough action, the pretty boy was startled and quickly tried to shove the door back. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Breaking into a private residence?"
"You want me to call the police on you?"
He couldn't let this stranger in.
There was still someone inside.
However, Lucas in a suit had the added strength of a 'suit-wearing thug.' How could this pretty boy, who spent his days exhausting his body, compare?
With a slight push, the boy was shoved staggering backward.
Lucas said coldly, "Get out of my way. This has nothing to do with a pretty boy like you."
Bang!
With a forceful shove, the door was pushed wide open.
Lucas strode inside.
The cursing pretty boy followed behind him, nursing his sore body where the door had slammed into his face.
"Damn it, who are you, barging into my place in the middle of the night?"
"Do you have any manners?!"
"Didn't your parents teach you anything, or are they not even listed on your household register?"
Smack!
Without a word, Lucas backhanded the pretty boy across the face, his expression icy. "Shut your mouth if you want to live."
The force behind the slap was tremendous.
The pretty boy's teeth and blood went flying.
With a wail, he started crying.
Lucas paid no attention to his sobbing.
He walked to the master bedroom and kicked the door.
The master bedroom door was violently kicked off its hinges.
"Ah!"
As the door flew open, a woman's scream came from inside.
On the bed, a woman frantically grabbed the sheets, trying desperately to cover herself.
The woman shrieked angrily, "Who are you? What do you want?!"
She was stunned.
She thought it was her husband.
But it turned out... to be a strange, handsome man?
This was infuriating.
If you wanted to see me, you should have staked out the place properly. Would I have refused you?
Chen Mancin's voice turned sharp. "Who are you? What exactly do you want to do?"
Her tone was harsh.
It was clear she was quite panicked.
Lucas glanced at her and said calmly, "Chen Mancin?"
"Who are you?!" Chen Mancin stared at Lucas, suspicion and fear in her eyes.
It was her, no mistake.
Lucas thought to himself, 'As expected, she's quite the player.'
In the original story, Chen Mancin was the second wife of Yang Tianhao, Ye Fan's sworn brother.
It was just...
Yang Tianhao was older and had played around a lot himself, so his body wasn't what it used to be.
Chen Mancin was at that 'wolf-and-tiger' age in her prime. Not getting what she needed at home, she naturally sought out pretty boys.
Just in the original book, there was a description of the pretty boys Chen Mancin kept.
Seven!
She was the type who didn't want to repeat within a week.
Shameless..
Later, after Yang Tianhao died, she played the grieving widow.
Combined with her exceptional looks and mature aura...
In order to 'take care of his big brother's family,' Ye Fan ended up 'developing' a relationship with her.
Sigh.
So enviable—no, despicable!
Lucas expressed moral outrage at such things. That kind of person was simply scum!
A friend's wife is not to be coveted!
Even if the dumplings aren't tasty, you can't do such a thing!
How is that behavior any different from that infamous Cao Cao?
However, this Chen Mancin was also quite ambitious. If not for Ye Fan's appearance, she would have wanted to finish off Yang Tianhao and inherit everything herself.
Truly frightening.
Later, it was Ye Fan who openly took over everything from his 'good big brother.'
Thus, her sinister plan came to nothing.
And now...
Lucas had come precisely to help her accomplish the task she failed to complete in the original book.
Looking at the woman wrapped in a sheet, Lucas gave a slight nod. "Come out. I have something to discuss with you."
Then, Lucas left the bedroom.
In the living room,
the pretty boy he had slapped to the ground was still clutching his face and weeping.
Hearing the crying, Lucas felt annoyed.
"Get out of here. Don't clutter up the place."
"Otherwise, the woman inside will have someone throw you into the river to feed the fish tomorrow!"
Hearing this, the pretty boy immediately stopped crying.
He knew all too well who the rich woman inside was.
The person backing her was someone he could never afford to cross in this lifetime!
The pretty boy picked up a few of his teeth and scurried away in disgrace.
The door closed.
Lucas went to the living room sofa and sat down.
After a while,
Chen Mancin emerged.
However, the moment she came out, Lucas couldn't help but frown.
Good grief.
She was actually 'going commando.'
Chen Mancin's figure was extremely alluring, and her face held a powerful temptation for men, especially the charm of a woman her age.
It was simply off the charts.
Early thirties.
Barefoot, Chen Mancin came over and sat on the sofa, just over a meter away from Lucas.
She swept her hair back. By now, she had regained her composure. She smiled. "Handsome, what did you come to see me for?"
Catching the scent lingering on her, Lucas frowned slightly.
"Of course I'm not here for something trivial."
Chen Mancin lit a slender cigarette and asked with interest, "Oh?"
"What would that be?"
He had to admit, this woman had some composure, recovering her poise so quickly.
And she was still trying to tempt him.
Of course, Lucas wasn't buying it.
"I just want to ask you, does Yang Tianhao know the story about you keeping seven little white horses on the side?"
Lucas asked with a faint, knowing smile. "Take a guess. If he found out, do you think you'd end up feeding the fish in the Tianjiang River?"
Hearing this, Chen Mancin's face drastically changed color.
"Just who the hell are you? What do you want?!"
