Chapter 1803

The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, walked up to Li Yueqian, squatted down, and said: "Just now I said I'd cut you thirty-six times—so these thirty-five cuts, I'll start with your arms."

With that, the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, raised his long blade!

Swish-swish-swish-swish!

Li Yueqian felt only searing pain across his skin—the agony as if his entire arm were being torn apart!

Blood spurted!

With every inch of muscle severed by the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, a patch of white bone was exposed!

The scene was grotesquely bloody, chilling to the bone!

Li Yueqian gritted his teeth, enduring the pain—even as he neared unconsciousness, he could not scream out!

If this continued, he would surely die!

This was torture!

…………

"Big brother, I finally understand—you knew Li Yueqian would come, didn't you?" Victoria said.

A smile lingered on her lips, her gaze tender.

Yes, it was a genuine smile.

The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, grinned: "Of course—he came to me willingly, so I must treat him well; otherwise, wouldn't that insult his enthusiasm?"

"Hahaha!" Victoria laughed: "I love that answer!"

She reached out, wrapped her arms around the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi's neck, rose on her toes, and kissed him.

Ximen Wudi wanted to push her away, but remembered she was pregnant—so he let her kiss him for half a minute before pulling back.

"Let's go to the lounge," said the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi.

He picked up Victoria and walked toward the room.

The couple spent half the day on deck, confirming Li Yueqian wouldn't appear, before returning to their room to rest.

…………

At this moment, Li Yueqian did not know they were entwined in the lounge—he was vomiting violently in the cabin, emptying his stomach entirely, after which the man regained a sliver of strength.

"Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society, I won't let you go… won't let you go," Li Yueqian gasped on the bed, staring at his bleeding wound, eyes blazing with hatred: "Do you think I'm harmless?"

The man pulled out a card, entered a password, and a string of numbers immediately sounded from within.

"Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society, this is the Strategist's number—aren't you looking to avenge yourself?" Li Yueqian sneered: "Let's see now—who can stop me from wiping you out!"

With that, Li Yueqian pressed the dial button!

"Hello, Strategist, it's Li Yueqian."

"What is it?" the Strategist asked coolly.

"Strategist, Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society has returned to the country—he's in the capital of Huaxia! You must have heard he's back in Ninghai—would you like to speak with him? After all, you were once lovers, and you were together—can you truly stand by while this savage Huaxia warrior continues to endanger Huaxia's fate?"

"I never dated Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society," the Strategist replied calmly: "Moreover, I won't involve myself in this matter."

"Strategist, you can't do this—have you forgotten how our parents died? You can't abandon your vengeance!" Li Yueqian urged urgently: "Your top priority now is revenge—I can help you! If you help me eliminate Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society, you'll be my benefactor—I'll remember it forever!"

Li Yueqian's words sounded deeply sincere.

Yet the Strategist didn't believe a word of it.

In this world, there are no eternal friends—only eternal interests.

Li Yueqian would inevitably use his network to seek the Strategist's help through some channel!

"I don't care what you plan to do—I only kill Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society. Everything else is none of my business," the Strategist said coldly: "Understand this, Young Master Li."

Hearing the Strategist's emotionless tone, Li Yueqian's eyes blazed with furious, venomous rage!

"Strategist, you're destroying your own future!" Li Yueqian growled through clenched teeth!

"You have no right to lecture me," the Strategist added, then ended the call.

"Pfft! Do you think I care about your damn company!" Li Yueqian spat at the screen.

Unfortunately, he didn't know the laptop had silently powered on, recording every frame of the screen.

…………

"Strategist, thank you," said the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi.

In truth, without the Strategist's help, even he and Victoria together would have faced immense difficulty defeating Li Yueqian.

The Strategist shook her head: "Don't say that—I can't bear to see you suffer."

She knew that if Ximen Wudi of the Qinglong Society had wished, he could have captured Li Yueqian alive and handed him over to the military.

"This Li Yueqian really has balls of steel," Victoria said: "He dared kidnap one of our people!"

Hearing this, the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, sighed softly: "I was careless—I never imagined this man had sunk so far into madness!"

"No, Apollo, it wasn't your carelessness—it was the enemy's cunning," the Strategist said: "You were cautious enough, but Li Yueqian was even craftier."

The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, shook his head: "He's not cunning—he's selfish."

He paused, then narrowed his eyes: "Not just selfish—even a little foolish."

He didn't spell it out, but the Strategist understood.

Ximen Wudi meant—Li Yueqian had no idea that after this affair, he would become a traitor to Huaxia, condemned by all.

"You still don't know how this was exposed—I've sent people to investigate," the Strategist said: "Rest for two days, then return to Huaxia."

Ximen Wudi fell silent for a moment, then slowly replied: "Understood, Strategist."

Then he stood: "I need a shower and new clothes—wearing this robe feels sloppy."

Victoria watched the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, enter the bathroom, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Though the man looked weary from travel, he still radiated a powerful sense of security; even though his frame was not tall, he exuded an unstoppable spirit.

This aura was intoxicating.

Victoria also removed her towel, preparing to bathe, then wait for the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, to return.

…………

The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, took a bath, changed into fresh clothes, checked the time—it was already four in the morning.

"Has Victoria fallen asleep?" The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, opened the door and asked the strategist waiting outside.

"She's asleep," the strategist shook her head. "She was exhausted today—I had her rest in her room."

"You've worked hard," said the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, reaching out to grasp the strategist's slender wrist and pulling gently.

She fell into his arms.

"We've been married so long, no need for such formalities," the strategist leaned against his chest and whispered softly: "I'm not tired. I love this life—the mountains are clear, the waters are green, perfect for nurturing the child."

"You," the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, gently stroked her back. "My strategist is so outstanding—I fear someone will steal you away."

The strategist lifted her head, gazing at his handsome face so close, her eyes filled with devotion and depth.

Such a gaze was what every Miss most longed for.

"Fool," the Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, smiled faintly. "No one in this world can take you from me."

The strategist softly rose onto her toes and kissed his lips.

This light, fleeting kiss surpassed the warmth of a thousand tender moments.

"Alright, get some rest," the strategist released Ximen Wudi and rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks. "I'm going back to my room."

The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, nodded. "Mm. Good night."

The strategist gave a slight bow. "May you travel safely, and watch your health."

With that, she left.

Lin Aoxue stood motionless.

The Great Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, Ximen Wudi, watched her graceful back and smiled.

Then he closed the door and walked toward his own room.

"Are you going to sleep—or on a date?" Lin Aoxue stepped out from the bedroom.
