Qie Ranzhe brought about a new definition to the idiom tied down by literally tying down his spouse. Wen Qinxi was rudely hurled into a conspicuous black van before the guard handcuffed him. Since he was still in his underwear the guard tossed a blanket over and closed the van doors with a loud bang.
Wen Qinxi was a bit disappointed seeing that Qie Ranzhe didn't get in the same vehicle as him but this was probably for the best. Right now his status in Qie Ranzhe's heart was low, even lower than an underling. He silently wrapped the blanket over his body and sat down crossed legged leaning against the van wall. With a serene countenance, he slowly closed his eyes and decided to poke the cowardly system.
This version of Su Xin had the two guards sitting at the front seat puzzled. They couldn't help but conclude Su Xin was probably high on something. In the past, he would have been putting up a fight trying to escape. Qie Ranzhe had to recruit personnel from private special forces to retrieve him because he was hard to deal with. Even though these guards were also part of the team recruited from a private army they had prepared sedatives to inject Su Xin when he caused trouble. Who knew they didn't have to use it.
"Tsk, Tsk.... What a pity," said the man sitting in the passenger seat while playing with the syringe in his hand. The driver chuckled and glanced over only to find the cuffed handsome gentleman gently swaying with the motion of the van, with his eyes closed.
"Hahaha.... maybe Miss Zhao tired him out last night.... either way, it makes our job easier," said the driver as they turned left following the Maybach in front.
Wen Qinxi who had been mocked wasn't paying attention. He was starting a fight with the system for not warning him in time. Now he was walked out of the hotel making a shameful public spectacle of himself. He swore he saw some women take pictures of him before he entered the van. How embarrassing.
'Boss, you are overthinking this. These are NPCs so it doesn't matter. Why are you being a stickler about this? It's not like you showed your junior brother in public. Imagine if that happened.... hahaha your flabby meat stick would have been flapping right in front of those ladies..... hahaha....wait, wait, boss, you would have officially become a streaker,' said the system almost rolling on the ground with laughter.
This was only an appetizer, the system wasn't done with him yet. 'Too, too bad...hahaha... most streakers debut at sporting events so you wouldn't be as famous.'
'Are you done?' asked Wen Qinxi gritting his teeth. How he wished the system had a physical form so he could smack it.
'No, no, I am not done.... your junior brother would definitely get more likes. You are really packing down there....pfft, hahahahaha.... I am sorry, I am sorry. I think I am done..... hahaha no I am not, hahahaha,' said the system having a good laugh at Wen Qinxi's expense.
Wen Qinxi who couldn't stand it anymore blurted out, 'Fuck off,' in anger. He was clearly infuriated so the system reeled it in and decided to reserve its jokes for the boys in the game room.
'Okay let's get down to business.... Here are the game files,' said the system as a bucket load of information filled Wen Qinxi's mind.
The game files were thick and heavy but a summarised version was provided. This world was a modern setting and Qie Ranzhe in this world ran an organisation called Hei Xue. An organization worthy of its name because its illegal businesses kept the city running smoothly even when the rest of the country was going through a recession.
These kinds of illegal organizations were an unspoken rule among the officials. As long as they kept a low profile and there wasn't a turf war the officials looked the other way. Hei Xue's power and influence expanded greatly after Qie Ranzhe took over from his uncle.
His ambitions were great to the point of forming an underworld alliance were a lot of criminal organizations fell under Hei Xue with him standing at the top of the pyramid as king. He was met with resistance but like fish out of water, their opposition was futile. Most criminal organizations were willing to work under Qie Ranzhe's wing that is until he came up with a set of rules restricting certain markets.
He barred human trafficking, protection fees and limited the kinds of drugs to be sold in the black market. Instead, he encouraged criminal organisations to invest in restaurants, energy, casinos etc almost whitewashing the underworld. Though reluctant the crime bosses agreed but conceding didn't mean they were satisfied. He undoubtedly had enemies. This meant he suffered multiple assassination attacks with one of them ultimately leading to his death after being betrayed by his sworn brother, Kai Zi.
So how did Su Xin factor in? Su Xin was a top tier thug, the son of Su Long the leader of a middle-level criminal organization known as Angel Skull.
Su Long was one of the leaders who weren't too pleased with Qie Ranzhe but hid it well. Since he was friends with Qie Ranzhe's late uncle, he somehow convinced him to employ Su Xin but in reality, Su Xin was planted as a spy.
All he had to do was gain Qie Ranzhe's trust and get his hands on classified information as well as Qie Ranzhe's itinerary but things didn't go as expected.
Qie Ranzhe took a liking to Su Xin appointing him as his third in command. Just when things were looking up for Su Xin it all turned sour in an instant as the saying goes the higher you climb the harder you fall. Su Xin got a little enthusiastic at a pharming party and among the cocktail of pills he took something he shouldn't have.
Unfortunately for him instead of getting down and dirty with a beautiful goddess he seduced his boss who had just come from a night out of heavy-duty drinking. Because Qie Ranzhe had taken a liking to this straight man, he easily accepted what happened and the two chose to pretend as nothing happened.
That is until a certain someone grew a belly that could easily be mistaken for bloating. Thinking it was a tumour of some sort, Su Xin was admitted into the hospital only to discover he was a hermaphrodite and he was pregnant. Under his father's influence, Su Xin got married to Qie Ranzhe to expand Angel Skull's influence.
Su Xin tolerated Qie Ranzhe for a while but as soon as that kid was out, he discovered his father had revoked his right to inherit Angel Skull while secretly labelling him as a freak. As to how he found out, it was because his loud mouth cousin who was meant to take his position blurted it out. He not only did that but shared it to the entire underworld that Su Xin was a freak that got pregnant.
The mighty thug fell from grace and decided to be unfilial. He ran away multiple times partying and having sex like it was the end of days across the world. For the thirteen years, he ran away twenty times and was caught in compromising positions eighteen times.
