<h4>Chapter 228 Meeting Liu Ming! Zhang Wei finally got a rival?</h4>


    "Nooooo!" A loud, piercing scream erupted from her, shattering the tranquility of the morning.


    The sound spread through the human settlement, leaving everyone bewildered and concerned for the frightened naked woman terrified by the sight of the needles.


    "Enough!" Zhang Wei delivered a sharp p to her exposed backside, causing her to abruptly fall silent, her tear-filled eyes locked onto him.


    "Huh?" A startled gasp escaped her lips as she realized that, although the pnded, it didn''t cause her any pain this time.


    Stunned, Wu Xue''s trembling hand reached for her own buttock, but the sight was too much for Zhang Wei to tolerate. He swiftly pped her hands away, his voice firm. "You are already healed; stop performing these strange acts."


    "I am healed...?" Wu Xue sat up once more, seemingly oblivious to his difort. She appeared to be growing a bit toofortable with disying her naked body, ack of concern for the potential consequences evident in her actions.


    "Ah, no!" Zhang Wei, frustrated, decided to take matters into his own hands. In one fluid motion, he tossed her back onto the bed, hoping to teach her a lesson about modesty for the future.


    All pleas and protests fell on deaf ears for the next hour. Wu Xue finally looked at him with a mixture of fear and understanding as he prepared to leave. The lesson was learned, though not without some turbulence.


    __________


    [Host, she didn''t ask too many questions, an ideal secretary indeed,] the system kept praising Wu Xue, who appeared to ignore Zhang Wei''s remarkable actions and even feigned ignorance.


    It all began when she identally discovered his identity as an NSA agent.


    From that point on, she had witnessed and heard numerous things but refrained from probing him with questions.


    Her discretion in this matter was indeedmendable.


    "What''s happening at the vi?" Zhang Wei inquired from the co-pilot seat as Raven drove impassively.


    Raven proceeded to exin the situation. After parting ways with Lin Ruoxi and Yu Lei, Zhang Wei had covertly instructed Raven to halt and reside with them in the vi, silently monitoring their interactions.


    He was curious about how these women behaved when he wasn''t present.


    ording to Raven''s report, there hadn''t been much turmoil.


    However, there was a subtle change in Yu Lei''s demeanor, particrly in how she treated Lin Ruoxi within and outside of work.


    Apart from this, nothing significant had urred, and Lin Ruoxi had made no attempts to escape or show resistance.


    Lin Ruoxi had even made an attempt to learn cooking, with Yu Lei as her mentor. Yu Lei, however, was strict when it came to culinary standards.


    Aside from these cooking lessons, they both slept in separate rooms upstairs.


    Guo Xiaomei expressed her gratitude to Raven for safely bringing Lin Ruoxi back.


    Overall, Zhang Wei felt the situation was under control, and he no longer needed to constantly spy on them.


    Raven let out a sigh of relief, eager to focus on assisting Rose rather than ying the part-time assistant to Zhang Wei.


    While Zhang Wei had initially nned to go with Xiong Mei to buy a car today, he decided to make a brief stop back at home first, as Chen Yn was expected to visit in the morning.


    _________


    Outside the luxurious vi in the northern district, a sleek Mercedes was parked, a temporary lease for the day secured by Liu Ming.


    Inside thevish living room, Chen Yn''s mind exploded with confusion and disbelief as her eyes fell upon the two stunning women before her.


    One of them boldly introduced herself as Zhang Wei''s wife.


    ''If this is the sister-inw, then who was the woman with my cousin yesterday?'' Chen Yn''s lips quivered as she grappled with the absurdity of the situation.


    She didn''t need a roadmap to figure out that Zhang Wei had an extramarital involvement. The signs were ring.


    Lin Ruoxi''s introduction only added ayer of peculiarity. She was supposed to be the president of Lin Group, yet here she was, identifying herself as Zhang Wei''s maid!


    In the face of such bizarre revtions, Chen Yn felt a headacheing on.


    The notion that her cousin might be maintaining another rtionship in the guise of a maid was a bitter pill to swallow.


    His audacity was, without a doubt, impressive!


    Inside the vi''s luxurious living room, Lin Ruoxi found herself face-to-face with Zhang Wei''s rtive for the first time.


    Sheunched into an unrelenting onught of questions, turning Chen Yn into her unwitting interviewee.


    Chen Yn, doing her best to maintain a polite demeanor, felt a strained smile forming as the relentless inquiries continued.


    Little did Chen Yn know that Yu Lei''s curiosity had a singr focus – Zhang Wei''s childhood. She seized this unexpected opportunity, making Chen Yn the unintended subject of her investigation.


    Amidst this whirlwind of inquiries, another man sat a slight distance away from Chen Yn. His eyes wandered around thevish surroundings, and he couldn''t help but remark, ''Yn never mentioned that her cousin was this wealthy.''


    Yet, what truly captured his attention were the two striking women seated before him, both equally mesmerizing.


    ''Tsk, these modern cities are teeming with beauties,'' he thought, a hint of jealousy creeping in. In his hometown, beautiful women were a rarity, but since arriving in Qingyun city, he felt surrounded by stunning women at every turn.


    Every woman he passed on the streets seemed to effortlessly exude beauty.


    Unbeknownst to him, beneath the veneer of beautyy an inch-deepyer of makeup, and the genuine gems were the ones right in front of him.


    Jealousy simmered within him, but every time his gaze returned to Chen Yn, it ebbed away. "At least I have her!" A smug smile spread across his face as he realized that he, too, wasn''tcking in the beauty department. He had Chen Yn by his side, after all.


    "Hey, pass me that ss of water!" He suddenly spoke, addressing Lin Ruoxi, who sat quietly. Since she was introduced as a maid, he felt it was eptable to exert a bit of dominance.


    His words drew Lin Ruoxi''s attention, causing her to furrow her brow. She may have been serving, but her loyalty was to Zhang Wei alone.


    Her expression suddenly turned cold, though she managed a smile as she filled the ss with water and slowly passed it towards him. Then, without warning, the ss slipped from her hand.


    *Ssh!*
