A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

After leaving the beach, Hao Qiangzhuang and Gu Jia went to Gu Jia's private villa.

This villa, valued at 20 million yuan, was a lifeline left to Gu Jia by her parents before they went bankrupt.

The total area, including the villas and courtyards, is over two thousand square meters. The key point is that these are early buildings, so there are no property management fees.

Gu Jia rarely comes; her nanny takes care of her. Gu Jia always informs her in advance before she comes, and the nanny then leaves.

Once inside the villa, Hao Qiangzhuang completely unleashed his true nature and became proactive.

Because he knew he had crossed Liu Qiangnan's bottom line. If touching Gu Jia once meant certain death, then he might as well do it a few more times.

Gu Jia is in her thirties, a bit older than her age. Compared to Hao Qiangzhuang, she's more like the older sister next door—understanding, considerate, and caring.

Although Hao Qiangzhuang had dated several girlfriends, he was still somewhat bewildered and rough. Gu Jia guided him and helped him calm down.

Sometimes, a good woman is like a life mentor; she will quietly guide you onto a sunny path that is uniquely yours.

Or perhaps, it will bring you success and fame, and at least allow you to have more children, right?

That evening, Gu Jia cooked the meal herself, but the result was rather poor.

Fried eggs turned black, and pork bone broth boiled until the bones turned black.

Life, for a pampered young lady like her who never lifts a finger, seems more like an unsolvable problem.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Qiangqiang took a short nap and was awakened by the strong smell of smoke and burning. When he opened his eyes, he thought the house was on fire!

It wasn't until he went into the kitchen that he saw Gu Jia making dinner. He walked over, said nothing, first turned off the gas stove and turned on the range hood, and then washed the kitchen utensils.

After the exhaust fan removed the tar smell from the kitchen, the air in the kitchen gradually returned to normal.

Hao Qiangzhuang gave a friendly smile and asked, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"

Gu Jia hesitated for a moment, coughed a few times, and said in a suppressed voice, "I want to eat pan-fried steak."

Hao Qiangzhuang had never cooked Western food before, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go for it.

After searing the steak to medium-rare, Hao Qiangzhuang wanted to simmer it for a while, so he looked around for cooking wine.

Seeing Hao Qiangzhuang looking flustered, Gu Jia couldn't help but ask, "Qiangzhuang, what are you looking for?"

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you have any wine? Red wine is fine too."

When Hao Qiangzhuang asked this, Gu Jia suddenly remembered: "I decanted a bottle of red wine. Would a glass be enough for you?"

Hao Qiangzhuang reduced the fire to a minimum, nodded and said, "That's enough, hurry up and bring it over."

"Wait for me." Gu Jia felt a warm glow in her heart and hurriedly went to get the red wine.

I pan-fried a Chinese-style steak, then cooked pork tripe and chicken, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, and braised pork trotters.

The two sat in the restaurant, drinking red wine, chatting, and beginning to enjoy their dinner.

Gu Jia picked up her wine glass and stood up with a guilty expression: "I'm sorry, Qiang Zhuang, I didn't handle things well and made you suffer."

In fact, Hao Qiangzhuang couldn't quite understand Gu Jia. She was involved in the whole process, yet it seemed like she was deliberately setting a trap for herself.

Now that the two of them were inexplicably tied together, Hao Qiangzhuang belatedly realized that he was still a bit naive!

Since the incident has already happened, the most we can do is go back to that villa and yell at the people there. We can't exactly kill them all, can we?

Thinking it over, Hao Qiangzhuang could only pretend to be generous and say, "It's okay, it's all in the past, don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Hao Qiangzhuang understood her, Gu Jia started plotting something again: "Qiangzhuang, actually I wanted to discuss something with you, is that alright?"

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated before asking, "What's wrong? Tell me."

Gu Jia said, "I've already started planning my escape route. I've registered five companies in the Cayman Islands, each with assets of ten million. I hope you can cooperate with me so we can gradually strip Liu Qiangnan's company assets of their assets. Then, everything, including me, will be yours."

She spoke very eloquently, but Hao Qiangzhuang felt it was unreliable. It wasn't that Gu Jia was unreliable, but rather that Liu Qiangnan was unreliable.

Liu Qiangnan is not as simple as Hao Qiangzhuang appears to be; anyone with a brain can tell.

If Liu Qiangnan were a simple-minded person, would he have been able to take his company public in this day and age?

Can one have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds?

Hao Qiangqiang felt he wasn't good enough in front of Gu Jia, let alone in front of Liu Qiangnan.

The best way to lull Liu Qiangnan into a false sense of security is not to agree to Gu Jia's request, but to play dumb to a certain extent, so as to protect oneself.

Hao Qiangzhuang said with a smile, "I won't get involved in your affairs."

Hao Qiangzhuang's rejection of Gu Jia left her feeling very bad. She had truly lost both her wife and her money; she had already let Hao Qiangzhuang play her for a fool, and yet this guy still rejected her proposal.

Hao Qiangzhuang also noticed Gu Jia's worry and said with a wry smile, "My not getting involved in your affairs is the best protection for you."

Gu Jia asked in confusion, "Why don't I understand what you're saying?"

Hao Qiangzhuang took a swig of red wine and said, "You understand the principle that you can't put all your money in one box?"

Gu Jia remained silent with a gloomy face, as if she was still plotting something.

Hao Qiangzhuang continued, "Don't feel bad just because I rejected you. On the contrary, even if your plan fails, I can still be your support!"

Without Hao Qiangzhuang saying anything, Gu Jia proactively revealed, "You mean my classmates will sabotage me?"

Hao Qiangzhuang said, "I haven't even mentioned this issue. Since you brought it up, I'll analyze it for you. Before that, I have a few questions for you."

Gu Jia paused for a moment, then said softly, "Go ahead and ask!"

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where exactly is the company you registered in the Cayman Islands located?"

Gu Jia hesitated for a long time before saying, "We're all in Shenzhen District, what's wrong?"

Hao Qiangzhuang pressed further, "Aren't the higher-ups there all your classmates?"

Gu Jia remained silent, feeling somewhat uneasy as she faced Hao Qiangzhuang's question.

Hao Qiangzhuang continued, "If I'm not mistaken, while you're trying to get money out of Liu Qiangnan, the higher-ups in your company are also trying to get money out of you. I'm afraid that before you can drain Liu Qiangnan dry, you'll be drained dry by those higher-ups in your company."

Hao Qiangzhuang's words made Gu Jia fall into deep thought. She didn't say another word to Hao Qiangzhuang that day, and even when they shared a bed, she was still thinking about what Hao Qiangzhuang had said.

"Will they really try to bankrupt my company?"
