The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

Suwen stretched out her arms and legs somewhat dejectedly, letting him hold her without moving, wondering what was going on. Strangely, however, the man became much quieter while holding her, neither frowning nor turning over. As if he had found some precious treasure, he pressed himself tightly against her, resting his chin on her hair and gently blowing his breath on her scalp.

It seems she's fallen asleep again...

Okay, being hugged won't hurt him, and considering his injury, she decided not to move. She repeatedly comforted herself: it's all because of the veterinarian's kindness, because of the veterinarian…

A pure, masculine aura emanated from him, perhaps tinged with a hint of blood, permeating her being through her breath. When had she ever been so close to a man other than Lu Zheng? Even sleeping so tightly in each other's arms…

Suwen dared not move, so he could not relax for even a moment.

The room fell silent again, time ticking by, the only sound the ticking of the wall clock. The well-fed kitten scratched at the door, making a soft rustling sound. Suwen stirred, seeing the man sleeping soundly, and tried to slip away from under his arm.

She slowly sat up, carefully picked up the hand that was across her waist, and little by little, put it back.

It had been so long. A day ago, the man's face was so unfamiliar that she could scream and call the police. A day later, however, it was so familiar that she could sketch it with her eyes closed.

Suwen was a little stunned and didn't notice that his eyelids twitched.

As she lowered his hand, he turned over, and before Suwen could even utter a cry of alarm, his hand had already swiftly locked onto her neck. His eyes, which he suddenly opened, were filled with complete unfamiliarity and icy coldness, radiating a chilling murderous aura. The dangerous and bloody atmosphere that had permeated his entire being once again when he broke in through the window that night.

Suwen was choking and couldn't breathe, so she could only stare at him with her eyes wide open.

Noticing the close proximity of the two, the cold, bloodthirsty look in his eyes gradually gave way to a sense of bewilderment and confusion. After a moment of confusion, he slowly loosened his grip.

Having just been rescued, Suwen immediately rolled off the bed, away from the dangerous man, and hid behind the police line. Her face was flushed red with resentment, and she coughed repeatedly, trying to catch her breath.

Hao Haiyun got up, grabbed the wet towel that had slipped off his forehead, looked at the basin of water on the floor and the bowl of white porridge on the bedside table, then looked at Suwen, whose face was flushed from coughing, and a hint of apology appeared on his face, but it only lasted for a moment.

"I just woke up," he said casually.

Suwen knew that he had truly awakened and reverted to his true, swift nature. The man who had been struggling weakly in his unconscious state was merely an illusion.

This habit is not hard to understand. People who stand too high are always in danger of being assassinated, and they dare not let their guard down even when they are sleeping.

Suwen slowly caught her breath, got up from the ground, smiled noncommittally, and dusted herself off. Then, without saying a word, she walked out.

Hao Haiyun knew that once she stepped out of that door, she would never come back, so she immediately called out to her, "Susu."

Suwen gave him a strange look. If he was talking in his sleep just now, then he must be calling her now.

Hao Haiyun raised an eyebrow at her and smiled: "Cheng Guang said this is your name. I'm curious, what's your full name?"

Suwen's eyes made it clear: Why should I tell you?

When Cheng Guang returned, he saw Hao Haiyun leaning against the bed, eating porridge with one hand while holding a bowl. Although his movements were clumsy and the process was difficult, his expression was quite good, and he was obviously enjoying it.

Nie Suwen, meanwhile, huddled in a corner of the house furthest from him, watching his every move with a wary expression, not daring to move an inch.

Cheng Guang's gaze fell on the gun muzzle peeking out from under the snow-white pillow. His eyes darted around, and he immediately understood everything.

He went over, first helped Nie Suwen up, and asked her to go out and take care of the small animals. After sending her away, he came to the bedside and slapped the bowl out of Hao Haiyun's hand.

"Didn't I tell you that if you want to stay here, you're not allowed to bully my cats or dogs, and definitely not people!"

Hao Haiyun didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Is she yours?"

The implication is that if you, Cheng Guang, acknowledge her as your woman, then a brother's wife is not to be trifled with—this is a rule in the underworld. But if you dare not acknowledge her, then sorry, it's none of your business what you want to do.

Cheng Guang was annoyed, yet somewhat helpless. He tucked the protruding section of the gun barrel under his pillow: "You know she's just a naive little girl who's never seen the world, and you still try to scare her with a gun?"

Hao Haiyun smiled but remained silent. Never seen the world? This girl has quite the nerve.

That evening, Cheng Guang was changing Hao Haiyun's dressing outside. When he removed the gauze, he saw that the wound had reopened and was slightly inflamed. While disinfecting the edges of the wound with alcohol, he questioned, "What did you do? How could you let your wound reopen while you were sleeping?"

The pain of the reopened wound kept Hao Haiyun silent with a taut face, but she glanced at Nie Suwen in the corner.

Suwen also heard what the veterinarian said. It was an unintentional question, but for no reason, her face turned red.

After giving him an anti-inflammatory injection and re-bandaging his wound, Cheng Guang repeatedly told him to behave. Whether this was the literal meaning or a deeper message, only the three of them knew the truth.

After Hao Haiyun entered the room, Suwen stood up and called out to Cheng Guang.

This was all within Cheng Guang's expectations. He felt that the girl should be able to hold back by now, so he called her to sit on the sofa and poured her a cup of hot tea.

The sofa is covered by the newly replaced window glass, which shines brightly and reflects the white light of the incandescent bulbs.

Cheng Guang looked at her blank face knowingly: "That guy scared you today, didn't he? It's my fault, I should have explained it to you earlier."

Su Wen was still trembling slightly. When Hao Haiyun suddenly pulled a gun from under her pillow and pointed it at her that afternoon, she was truly terrified and couldn't speak. Although she should have expected that seeing the gunshot wound on his body that morning meant that this kind of person lived with bullet holes every day, that moment was just too sudden. At such close range, with the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at her forehead, anyone's legs would go weak.

Su Wen felt a bead of cold sweat involuntarily slide down her nose. She clenched her fists and asked, "Um... who exactly is Hao Haiyun?"

She had never seen anyone force someone to reveal their name at gunpoint. Of course, after asking for her name, he also told her his own.

Cheng Guang remained unmoved: "Half in the river breeze, half in the clouds, have you ever heard of that?"

Suwen shook his head honestly.

"Under the walls of this capital city, ostensibly under Communist control, there's another set of rules in the underworld, and that rule is run by Qin Jiangfeng and Hao Haiyun."

Suwen seemed to understand but not quite, so Cheng Guang explained to her again: "It's the head of the paddleboard, you know?"

Suwen was surprised: "Like those in Hong Kong movies?"

“That’s about it.” Cheng Guang said in a relaxed tone, “Back when Qin Jiangfeng and Hao Haiyun hadn’t fallen out, who in Beijing wasn’t afraid of them? Anyone who offended them would burn incense and pray to Buddha, obediently chop off their fingers and come to apologize. Hearing the names of these two people in the underworld was like seeing a living Yama.”

Su Wen was a little unconvinced: "If he's so powerful, how could he injure someone like this?"

Cheng Guang smiled, shook his head repeatedly, and said two words: "Woman."

A woman… This answer was both unexpected and somewhat predictable. According to a young girl's heart, she always expected a peerless beauty to embellish every hero's story. A beautiful woman brings ruin, brothers turn against each other, choosing beauty over power—what a tragic tale…

Suwen immediately became interested in that kind of woman and asked gossipily, "What kind of woman is she?"

“A policewoman named Ren Susu.”

Cheng Guang's gaze gradually deepened.

Any kind of woman is fine; if the boss wants one, wouldn't there be a long line of women waiting for him? But it just so happens that she's a policewoman!

This seemingly unremarkable young policewoman, aside from her slightly sexy figure, stirred up chaos within the gang. First, she bewitched Qin Jiangfeng, making him want to turn himself in, and then she provoked Hao Haiyun. Two powerful men in the underworld turned against each other over this policewoman, escalating into a violent clash that chilled the hearts of many brothers. The gang split, attracting the attention of outsiders. As expected, Qin Jiangfeng was soon handcuffed and taken to the police station by the policewoman. Hao Haiyun, left alone, was repeatedly targeted and manipulated into believing Qin Jiangfeng was behind it all. Morale within the gang plummeted, and he chose to retire, opening a pet clinic in this secluded little town.

Suwen was dumbfounded, as if she had just watched a gangster movie. However, she finally understood one thing—

In the afternoon, Hao Haiyun didn't call her by her name, but by the policewoman named Ren Susu.

She was actually a little curious: what was it like for a gangster like him to fall for a woman? His arrogant tone, his tendency to grab people's necks at the drop of a hat, and the way he'd pull out a gun and point it at someone's head after just a few words—what kind of woman could stand him? Judging from Cheng Guang's tone, it seemed he didn't win against that brother named Qin Jiangfeng in the end. Serves him right; there's no way he could ever get a woman!

Cheng Guang, of course, had no idea what she was thinking with her eyes darting around. Thinking she was scared, he quickly comforted her, "It's okay, he's just trying to scare you. With you here, he won't dare to do anything to you."

“Of course, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you,” Cheng Guang added. He must have realized long ago that when she called him back, she actually wanted to say goodbye. After all, people like them are unacceptable to most normal people.

Suwen was indeed planning to leave after tonight.
