Ah Long, whose real name is Chen Zhenglong, was originally a gang member with exceptional martial arts skills.
Later, tired of the gang life, he switched careers to become a bodyguard and eventually served as the personal bodyguard for Wong Lap-hing, a renowned tycoon on Hong Kong Island.
It was precisely when Zhou Yaxuan was being harassed by a gang leader that she encountered Ah Long.
A-Long took a liking to this beautiful and spirited young woman, so he stepped in to help her, freeing Zhou Yaxuan from the gang leader’s clutches.
Under Ah Long’s persistent pursuit, she naturally became his girlfriend.
It was clear that Ah Long truly cared for her; not only did he cover her younger siblings’ school fees, but he also used his connections to secure her a position as a receptionist at Huang Lixing’s company.
If the story had ended there, it would have been a happy ending for both Zhou Yaxuan and A-Long.
But life rarely goes as planned; a beautiful beginning is often followed by a melodramatic turn of events and a bittersweet ending.
After joining the company, Zhou Yaxuan discovered that her boyfriend, A-Long, was actually Huang Lixing’s bodyguard—and one whom Huang Lixing trusted implicitly.
Ever since Zhou Yaxuan saw Huang Lixing surrounded by his entourage, her mind began to race.
She wanted to climb the social ladder; she wanted to be someone above others, not just an insignificant person.
Compared to Ah Long, who was all brawn and no brains, a wealthy man like Huang Lixing was exactly the kind of partner she was looking for.
Being in the right place at the right time, if she wanted to win Huang Lixing over, she first had to get close to this billionaire.
Thus, through her scheming and with A-Long’s help, she eventually got her wish and became Huang Lixing’s secretary.
Once she got close to Huang Lixing, she began plotting how to seduce him.
So, one night when A-Long was away, Zhou Yaxuan took advantage of her position to slip a drug into Huang Lixing’s drink, successfully seduced him, and became his woman.
However, what happened next was completely unexpected for Zhou Yaxuan.
Just as she was fantasizing about becoming Mrs. Huang, Huang Lixing woke up from bed and, far from accepting her, fired her on the spot.
At the same time, Huang Lixing warned her to get out of his sight immediately, or else he would have her stuffed into a sack and sunk into the sea.
Zhou Yaxuan was stunned—this was not what she wanted.
She knew she’d shot herself in the foot—not only had she failed to become Huang Lixing’s woman, but she’d also lost her high-paying job that paid over 3,000 yuan a month.
What was even more troubling was that she had no idea how to explain this to her boyfriend, A-Long.
At the same time, she felt deeply humiliated.
Furious and heartbroken, she sought out A-Long—who had been kept completely in the dark—and tearfully told him how Huang Lixing had humiliated her.
Upon hearing this, A-Long flew into a rage and demanded to confront Huang Lixing.
Of course, Zhou Yaxuan couldn’t let him go off on such a reckless mission, so while she soothed A-Long, she was plotting her revenge against Huang Lixing.
It wasn’t until she learned that Huang Lixing was going on a business trip to mainland China—carrying nearly a million in cash—that Zhou Yaxuan knew her chance had come!
She immediately devised a plan to assassinate Huang Lixing, and A-Long, whose judgment had been clouded by “love,” had absolutely no doubts or hesitations—he agreed to the plan on the spot.
According to Zhou Yaxuan’s plan, once they arrived in the mainland, A-Long would find an opportunity to sneak into Huang Lixing’s residence, quietly kill him, retrieve the million in cash, and hand it over to Zhou Yaxuan, who would be waiting outside as a contact. They would then stage the scene to look like a robbery-murder.
As long as A-Long returned to the residence before Huang Lixing’s body was discovered, no one would suspect him.
Then, once the dust settled, they would live it up with the money.
So, when Huang Lixing and his group arrived in Saibei Province, Zhou Yaxuan quietly followed them there.
To avoid exposing her whereabouts, Zhou Yaxuan not only paid for a set of fake identities but also bit the bullet and bought two phones to facilitate communication with A-Long.
That afternoon, A-Long quietly called her, saying they might make their move in the next few days and telling her to be ready.
Convinced her plan was foolproof, she was now just waiting for A-Long to make his move.
However, just as her eyes began to glint with madness, Zhou Yaxuan suddenly spotted a jeep pulling up below the building.
Immediately afterward, she saw several uniformed officers get out of the vehicle. Zhou Yaxuan had done her research before arriving and knew these were mainland police officers.
Instantly, she began to feel a bit nervous.
But she quickly forced herself to calm down; after all, only she and A-Long knew about the plan to ambush Huang Lixing.
A-Long hadn’t made his move yet, and Huang Lixing was still unharmed; these people clearly weren’t here to arrest her.
So there was absolutely no need for her to be nervous.
However, no sooner had this thought crossed Zhou Yaxuan’s mind than a frantic knock sounded at the door.
“Who is it?” Zhou Yaxuan asked in her somewhat broken Mandarin.
“Routine room check!”
Hearing this, Zhou Yaxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and opened the door.
But the moment the door swung open, she was tackled to the ground and immediately handcuffed…
Upon learning of Zhou Yaxuan’s arrest, Wang Anguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He then took matters into his own hands and began interrogating his friend from Hong Kong.
However, Zhou Yaxuan was convinced that Ah Long would never betray her, so she refused to say a word, and the situation reached an impasse.
…….
After a silent night—during which Huang Lixing had barely slept—he was just beginning to doze off when the cell phone by his pillow suddenly rang.
Like a startled rabbit, he leapt out of bed in an instant, his face etched with terror.
Realizing it was just the ringtone, he forced himself to calm down and pressed the answer button: “This is Huang Lixing speaking, yes!”
“Mr. Huang, we’ve made a breakthrough in the case you’re investigating!”
Hearing the hoarse voice on the other end, Huang Lixing knew immediately who it was.
“What’s the situation?”
“Eight of those women are still on Hong Kong Island, but one has gone missing. According to our findings, she obtained a set of fake documents from Black Dog and went to the mainland! And the time she left Hong Kong Island was almost exactly the same as when you left, Mr. Huang—only half a day apart!”
Huang Lixing’s heart began to race. He said in a low voice, “Who is that woman?”
“Zhou Yaxuan, your former secretary, Boss Huang!”
“It’s her?”
Huang Lixing had a very vivid memory of this woman, Zhou Yaxuan.
She had become his secretary three months ago. She was attractive, but there was an air of worldliness about her that made Huang Lixing take little interest in her.
Consequently, he treated her strictly as an employee, with no intention of engaging in any under-the-table dealings.
But he never imagined that this woman would go to such lengths to get into his bed—even going so far as to spike his drink with a drug.
This was unacceptable—if she dared to slip an aphrodisiac into his drink today, she might poison him tomorrow.
So, as soon as he came to his senses, the first thing Huang Lixing did was immediately fire her and warn her to get as far away as possible.
The woman was sensible enough not to bother him, and before long, he had forgotten all about the incident.
He never imagined that woman was capable of such a thing.
He certainly wasn’t naive enough to think it was a coincidence that she arrived on the mainland right after him—especially at such a sensitive time.
At the same time, Huang Lixing realized something: his trip to the mainland was classified information. Aside from a select few, how could anyone else possibly know about it?
And since Zhou Yaxuan had left the company months ago, there was no reason for her to know the details so clearly—there was definitely a mole inside.
Immediately, he asked in a low voice, “What about my bodyguards?”
“According to our investigation, there are no issues with the backgrounds of those three bodyguards. However, Chen Zhenglong and that Miss Zhou are in a romantic relationship!”
Hearing this, Huang Lixing shuddered.
In the middle of summer, his back was suddenly covered in a cold sweat!
