"Boss, has someone infiltrated?" The Lion, wearing a heavy nightgown and still somewhat drowsy, approached with Jessica. He had a rough idea of what was happening.
Mo Ming nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, the Four-Faced Buddha. That guy was hired by Reed to take my life. I suspect he wanted to assess the situation here tonight and plan his attack for another day. But now that I've discovered his presence, he won't dare to come back easily."
"Oh?" A hint of anger flickered in the Lion's sleepy eyes as he glanced around coldly. "Who is responsible for this area? If just one person can sneak in, what if a group comes tonight? We could all end up dead in our sleep!"
This was no small matter. The Lion wasn't the type to blow things out of proportion, but if tonight's situation wasn't handled properly, they wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly in the future.
"Brother Lion, it's me..." A person timidly stepped forward.
Without even looking at the person’s face, the Lion raised his foot and kicked him hard in the abdomen, using almost all his strength. The person flew back over five meters before finally stopping, unable to move at all.
"Are you dead?" The Lion approached the fallen subordinate with a serious expression. "This kick is just a little lesson for you. I don't want to have to do this again. I don't want to harm my brothers, but without rules, there can be no order. If anyone makes the same mistake next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The impact of that kick was significant; a moderate lesson was enough. There was no need to resort to killing at every turn, as that would only lead to resentment and be detrimental to internal unity.
Mo Ming fully supported the Lion's approach; it was undoubtedly another major improvement for him. In the future, if there were important tasks that needed handling, the Lion would be capable.
"Tonight's matter ends here. Do you all understand what the Lion said? It's not that we are heartless; such oversights could cost everyone their lives. Got it?" Mo Ming's tone was cold. "You can disperse now; carry out the tasks I assigned earlier and ensure there are no more lapses!"
"Understood!" The brothers replied in unison.
The Lion waved his hand. "You two go carry that brother back so he can rest properly."
Two of the brothers stepped forward immediately and lifted the one who had been kicked away, their expressions filled with sympathy. Everyone had been at fault here; however, someone had to take the blame, and as the leader, he naturally bore the brunt of it.
Once everyone had dispersed, the Lion approached Mo Ming with a grave expression. "I never expected Reed would hire the Four-Faced Buddha to assassinate you. He must really be losing it. You know that hiring the Four-Faced Buddha costs an astronomical fee each time. Luckily we discovered this in time; otherwise, things could have turned disastrous."
"Well, the Four-Faced Buddha is indeed a formidable character. Even I wouldn't dare to say I could avoid his schemes. From today onward, we need to strengthen our vigilance and not give the Four-Faced Buddha any opportunities."
In the earlier confrontation, the Four-Faced Buddha was not an opponent, but Mo Ming still did not dare to let his guard down. If he accidentally fell into a trap set by the Four-Faced Buddha, it would be dangerous.
"Actually, I share responsibility for what happened tonight. I am fully in charge of the security work in this community, and now that such an incident has occurred, I must take responsibility," Lion said with a helpless smile. "For this period, I'll act as the head of the community's security department. I'll take care of the safety here!"
"Sounds good! That's a great suggestion. It sets a good example for everyone and strengthens the community's security—killing two birds with one stone," Mo Ming chuckled. "Lion, I think your physique is perfect for this job. Do well; I've got my eyes on you!"
Upon hearing this, Jessica covered her mouth and laughed, teasingly saying, "Boss, you're absolutely right! Lion, just focus on being the head of security. I'll support you mentally!"
"Come on, Boss, no need to roast me so harshly!" Lion scratched his head awkwardly and then glared at Jessica with mock anger. "You cheeky woman! Do you really want me to teach you a lesson?"
"Teach me a lesson in your room?" Jessica giggled disdainfully. "Teach me? With you? Who knows who would end up teaching whom!"
Mo Ming was already used to Jessica's teasing, but hearing the couple discuss such topics in this context made him feel a bit awkward. He cleared his throat twice to shift their attention.
"Lion, Jessica, I don't plan to get involved in your personal matters. You can discuss that later when you get back," Mo Ming said with a faint smile. "Jessica, there's something I need you to help me arrange."
"Sure, Boss! Just tell me what you need; I'll definitely handle it within my capabilities," Jessica nodded.
"Well..." Mo Ming sighed heavily and said, "It's just that Jun Qianqian insists on having me accompany her shopping tomorrow. Right now, I'm more worried that the Four-Faced Buddha might take action against me. So tomorrow, I need you to arrange for over a hundred capable people to protect us nearby—not just me but mainly Jun Qianqian. Make sure she doesn't get hurt; I can take care of myself."
Even if the Four-Faced Buddha had an ambush planned, Mo Ming was confident in his ability to protect himself. However, ensuring Jun Qianqian's safety as a vulnerable woman would be challenging without assistance. With help protecting her, Mo Ming could focus on dealing with the Four-Faced Buddha.
"Hehe, Boss, I sympathize with you; women understand women. Shopping is endless—take care!" Jessica smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow, I'll have Seductive and a few others protect you from around; just relax and enjoy shopping with Miss Jun."
"Ha ha... Boss, I feel sorry for you, but I think Jun Qianqian is not bad. You might want to consider taking her in; it's normal for men to have multiple wives."
The Lion wrapped his arms around Jessica, kissing her without hesitation and laughing heartily, "But Jessica doesn't care about these things. If it weren't for the lack of suitable candidates, I would already have several concubines!"
"Cut it out. If I weren't here, Jessica would have kicked you far away!" Mo Ming rolled his eyes and said, "I know Jessica is quite open-minded, but you're just all talk. If you really have the guts, go find someone. If you're not disabled, I'll write you a letter of recommendation!"
Those who have interacted with Jessica understand that she is the type of woman who is a supportive partner. The Lion can indulge in his wild lifestyle without her minding much. However, if the Lion dares to fall in love with someone else, Jessica will definitely cause a scene.
Not everyone is willing to share their partner's heart with someone else. Even though Jessica has an open mindset, she cannot do that. This isn't baseless; Mo Ming remembers a time when the Lion brought a woman home. Without saying a word, Jessica kicked both the Lion and that woman out and warned the Lion to choose between her and that woman—no third option!
In the end, the Lion naturally chose Jessica. That woman was only comparable to Jessica in looks; her abilities were merely ornamental and useless. The Lion isn't foolish; he knows who is suitable for life together, so he obediently returned to apologize to Jessica.
"Alright, Boss, just wait for me. If I find someone suitable in my lifetime, I'll definitely bring her back as a concubine." The Lion's face flushed slightly, but he still found a way to save face.
Jessica didn't expose him on the spot and gave the Lion enough face. A woman like that should be cherished by the Lion; otherwise, it would be truly unreasonable.
Mo Ming merely smiled slightly before yawning and said, "Alright, I'm going back to catch up on sleep. Otherwise, I'll be exhausted tomorrow. You two can do whatever you want; if you don't want to go back to your room, this area is quite suitable."
After saying that, Mo Ming didn't linger and walked towards his own house. Fatigue had already enveloped his entire body, allowing him to sleep soundly. Once he lay down on his bed after returning home, he soon fell asleep.
In the morning, when a ray of light entered the room, a series of chaotic knocking sounds disturbed Mo Ming's sweet dreams. Reluctantly waking up, he found himself without any trace of morning grumpiness.
It didn't take much thought to know that the person disturbing his dreams was none other than Jun Qianqian. Mo Ming dared not let his tongue get the better of him and risk an unfortunate life afterward; some things must be endured.
Better to offend a petty person than to offend a woman!
The beautiful dream was interrupted, and Mo Ming felt a bit displeased. However, to avoid offending Jun Qianqian, he forced a smile and said, "Miss Jun, you don't need to knock anymore. I'm already awake. If you keep knocking, I’m afraid your hand will hurt!"
This friendly response gave Mo Ming a moment of peace as the noisy knocking abruptly stopped, as if the whole world had gone quiet.
"I'll give you ten minutes to get ready. I'll go downstairs and wait for you. If you're late, just be prepared for the consequences!" Soon after, the distinctive sound of high heels echoed on the floor as Jun Qianqian headed downstairs.
"This life is truly unbearable; I need to resolve this issue quickly and find Gong Gao Yi!" Mo Ming silently lamented. He didn't dare linger and quickly got out of bed to wash up in the bathroom. In just two minutes, he was done, randomly pulled out a piece of clothing from the closet, put it on, and headed downstairs.
In less than ten minutes, Mo Ming stood in front of Jun Qianqian!
"Well, that was pretty fast! Good job! Keep up this speed of responding whenever I call, got it?" Jun Qianqian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, we have a lot to buy today, so let's get moving!"
A lot to buy... time is tight?
Mo Ming was instantly frozen. What time is it now? It's only six-thirty in the morning! How could Jun Qianqian say time is tight? Is she planning to shop all day? Mo Ming seemed to foresee his miserable fate...
"Come on, you idiot Mo Ming! Time really is tight!" After taking a few steps, Jun Qianqian noticed that Mo Ming wasn't following and urged him with a frown, "If we can't finish today, we'll have to continue tomorrow..."
"Don't worry; I guarantee we'll complete the task today!" Mo Ming hurriedly replied. If he was going to die, he preferred it to be quick rather than suffering a slow death. Accompanying a woman shopping felt like poison; Mo Ming would rather die spectacularly once than die a little every day!
