Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 739 A Tiger in the Heart, A Rose in the Hand
These words were like a spell, or a cold dagger, instantly piercing the core of the white rose's disguise!
Even with her exceptional mental fortitude, upon hearing such abrupt, bizarre, and assertive words, her body stiffened almost imperceptibly. The fingers holding the cigarette paused slightly, and the professional smile on her lips froze for a fraction of a second. A fleeting glint of mockery and surprise flashed quickly in the depths of her beautiful eyes, hidden beneath her smoky makeup.

But she quickly regained her composure, took a deep drag on her cigarette, as if using nicotine to calm her turbulent emotions.

She exhaled a smoke ring, gave another helpless yet apologetic smile, and said in Korean, "I really don't understand what you're saying... If you're not here for tattoos, please leave, I'm closing up shop."

She began to urge him to leave, trying to escape this unsettling situation.

Gao Dongxu stared intently at that almost flawless face. The heavy smoky makeup did not obscure her radiance; instead, it added a decadent and deadly beauty, like a thorny rose blooming in the dark night, dangerous yet irresistibly alluring, making one want to approach and pluck it.

His gaze was intense, but the smile on his face became even more unfathomable: "You're really mischievous. You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

He shook his head, seemingly both amused and regretful at her stubborn resistance. "Go in, show her."

Under Bai Qiangwei's gaze, which suddenly furrowed and whose ominous premonition grew stronger, Ru Xin stepped forward, took out her phone from her handbag, skillfully pulled up a video, and pointed the screen at Bai Qiangwei.

The video began playing; the picture was slightly shaky, but the clarity was very high. It showed the horribly miserable state of her three henchmen in that dark alley—the long-haired thief's hands were bent at an eerie angle, screaming in agony. Another was coughing up blood, curled up like a shrimp. The other three had unfocused eyes, muttering to themselves as if possessed. Wang Jianjun and Gao Dongxu occasionally appeared in the frame, exuding a cold, controlling aura.

White Rose's beautiful eyes narrowed sharply! The cigarette she was holding slipped from her fingers, fell to the ground, and sparks flew up.

The color drained from her face instantly, and despite her makeup, her shock and a hint of fear were still visible.

She suddenly looked up at Gao Dongxu, who was smiling but whose gaze was fixed on her with intense intensity.

A chill ran down her spine again, instantly engulfing her entire body! She instinctively took a step back, her back pressed against the cold tattoo table, with nowhere left to retreat. All her pretense shattered in that instant!

Her eyes turned cold and sharp, filled with wariness and a hint of desperate ferocity. She spoke in a low, menacing voice in Chinese, "What do you want?! How are they?!" Her voice trembled slightly, without her even realizing it.

She finally admitted that she could understand Chinese and that she was Bai Qiangwei.

"Haha..." Gao Dongxu laughed, seemingly pleased with her reaction. "Finally stopped pretending? I thought you could hold out longer." He took a step forward, the powerful pressure making Bai Qiangwei almost unable to breathe.

“Don’t be nervous,” he said casually, as if he hadn’t just used such cruel methods to extract a confession. “I don’t want anything. It’s just…” His gaze swept greedily over her face and body again, his possessiveness undisguised. “I saw you in the crowd. You’re beautiful, so I wanted to get to know you and make friends. Is that reason sufficient?”

Hearing this completely unexpected answer, Bai Qiangwei was utterly stunned. She had imagined countless possibilities—revenge from an enemy, double-crossing, a police informant... But she never imagined that the other party would go to such lengths, even threatening her men with their miserable state, only to ultimately achieve... because she was pretty and wanted to get to know her?
She looked at Gao Dongxu with suspicion, trying to find traces of mockery and lies on his face. But although Gao Dongxu's expression carried a cynical smile, the burning interest in his eyes was frighteningly real.

She subconsciously glanced at the three women behind him—A Ning was expressionless, Ru Xin had a faint hint of mockery on her lips, and Ru Qing was simply looking at the tattoo designs on the wall with boredom.

Their reactions seemed to confirm what the man said... It might actually be true? Did he really come knocking on their door for such an absurd reason?

In an instant, Bai Qiangwei's mind raced. Having spent many years in the underworld, she knew all too well that such a fleeting interest was often more terrifying than a long-planned hatred, because it was illogical and brooked no refusal.

But at the same time, could this also be a turning point?
Almost instinctively, the coldness and wariness on her face vanished as quickly as ice and snow melting away, instantly replaced by an extremely charming and alluring smile.

Her eyes sparkled, shimmering with a captivating allure, as if they held a hidden hook. Her voice softened, becoming sweet and coquettish, with a hint of playful reproach: "You're so annoying~ You almost scared me to death. My heart is pounding all over the place now~."

She even patted her prominent breasts lightly, a gesture full of suggestive meaning.

She tried to regain the initiative, using her most powerful weapon—her beauty—to maneuver, probe, and resolve the crisis.

Seeing her face change so quickly and the charm she deliberately exuded, the flames in Gao Dongxu's eyes burned even more intensely. He loved this kind of thorny, cunning rose who knew how to use her advantages.

"Sorry, I startled you." Gao Dongxu readily agreed, his smile deepening. "Actually, I know a little about medicine. Come, let me check you over. It would break my heart if you were frightened—"

Without giving Bai Qiangwei any time to react, he took a step forward and, with lightning speed, grabbed her wrist. Her wrist was slender and smooth, and although she struggled slightly in his hand, it felt as if it were locked in an iron clamp. "What are you doing?!" The charming smile on Bai Qiangwei's face froze instantly, and shock, shame, and anger welled up in her heart.

Gao Dongxu pulled hard, and Bai Qiangwei cried out in surprise, falling involuntarily into his strong and warm embrace.

Before she could struggle, Gao Dongxu had already grabbed her aching conscience with overwhelming force and began to vehemently condemn her without any reason.

"You—!" Bai Qiangwei's pretty face instantly flushed crimson, the red extending all the way to her ears. It was a red of utter shame and indignation!
She had lived in the lower rungs of society and seen all sorts of things, but she had never encountered anyone so direct, so unscrupulous, so shameless and vile.

She struggled fiercely and shouted, "You—bastard! Let me go!" Her eyes were blazing with fire; if looks could kill, Gao Dongxu would have been riddled with holes long ago.

Gao Dongxu lowered his head, his eyes filled with an undeniable domineering, greedy, and sharp light, fixed on her face, which was even more beautiful and captivating because of her anger. His voice was somewhat hoarse with desire, yet it carried a judgmental certainty:
"Today, I'm going to have you!"

After saying that, he ignored Bai Qiangwei's angry curses and struggles, suddenly lowered his head, and fiercely seized her red lips, which were painted with bright red lipstick and slightly parted in shock and anger, silencing all her protests and curses.

"Waaah..." Bai Qiangwei struggled even more violently, using her hands and feet, and even trying to knee her, but Gao Dongxu's strength was astonishing. His embrace was like an impenetrable wall, firmly imprisoning her.

His kisses were predatory, domineering, and left no room for refusal.

Seeing Gao Dongxu's unbridled and forceful behavior, the three women, A Ning, Ru Xin, and Ru Qing, could only exchange glances and roll their eyes helplessly.

They were prepared for this; they had been treated the same way before. This man always snatched and took what he wanted, let alone a woman who had aroused his strong interest.

Ru Xin even consciously walked to the door, flipped the "Open for Business" sign to "Closed," and then skillfully locked the door from the inside. She also drew the thick blackout curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

After doing all this, she acted as if nothing had happened, walked back into the store, found a comfortable sofa to sit on, took out her phone, and calmly started playing games.

Aning and Ruqing each found a place to sit down. One took out a small mirror to touch up her makeup, while the other casually picked up a tattoo book and flipped through it, looking completely at ease.

It was as if what was happening in the shop was just an upcoming, commonplace affair.

While passionately kissing Bai Qiangwei, who was still struggling and whimpering, Gao Dongxu used both hands to lift her up by the waist and strode towards the back room of the tattoo shop, which was usually a place where tattoo artists rested or stored their equipment.

The curtain fell, blocking the view.

Soon, a fierce and unequal "cat and dog war" broke out inside.

The cat's defiant meows, the dog's excited barking, the clattering and clattering of things falling...

The three women outside paid no attention to what was happening. The sound of the mobile game was even turned up a little, just enough to mask the noise from inside.

Faced with Gao Dongxu's bandit-like, domineering behavior of wanting to possess someone he sets his sights on immediately, they had no choice but to accept it.

This time, however, he robbed a dangerous and cunning female bandit leader.

This game of conquest and being conquered has only just begun. And the outcome seems predetermined from the start. None of Gao Dongxu's prey has ever escaped.

The thorny roses are prickly, but their fragrance is irresistible!
Evil will eventually be defeated by evil, and evil will ultimately be subdued by even more ferocious forces; this is the law of cause and effect.

Throughout history and across the world, thieves have been regarded as a social scourge and an object of deep hatred.

Sun Xian, who was supposed to be a wonderful person, turned out to be a despicable thief. This undoubtedly ruined the beautiful image in Gao Dongxu's heart. He was furious about this and was determined to correct the mistake and make Bai Qiangwei repent and become the white moonlight in his heart!
