"Behold, be compliant, and let us all enjoy ourselves! Or if you refuse, your feast will be on the anniversary of tomorrow!" The Star had already unbuttoned his pants—he intended to make a grand show today, in front of all his brothers, demonstrating exactly how he handles women. Just as Ye Tong was about to give up and close her eyes, a voice rang out among the crowd: "You have the courage to come at me, then do so! Why settle for a weak girl?" Lei and Black-Head gasped, exclaiming, "The Star! It's Gao Liang himself—the very one who's been spoiling our plans! We're going to hang him!" The Star fixed Gao Liang with a gaze of deadly intent, saying, "Your head is worth five million dollars! Truly excellent—here he is, right on the doorstep! Brothers, hang him!" With those words, thirty-some toughs surged forward. No matter how skilled in Chinese martial arts Gao Liang was, he could not withstand the combined assault. So he retreated, dodging and weaving. At the container terminal, a bloody and fierce battle unfolded. Guangliang continuously darted among the containers, playing hide-and-seek with over thirty tough guys, moving here, there, north, south, constantly pulling on the cow’s nose and leaving the thirty or so men utterly exhausted. At that moment, only two of the tough guys remained guarding Ye Tong. Ye Tong’s hands were tied with ropes and her mouth sealed with transparent tape, making it hard for her to breathe—she was nearly unconscious. These two men weren’t any good at all; they showed their true animal instincts, one tearing at Ye Tong’s shirt and the other pulling on her pants. Ye Tong couldn’t move an inch, only weeping silently. In her heart, she pleaded: Guangliang, you can’t save me! Just go! Just go! As soon as she made this plea, she heard the two men cry out in pain—each of them had been struck hard in the abdomen by massive punches, now clutching their stomachs and kneeling on the ground, writhing in agony. Guangliang quickly untied the ropes binding Ye Tong and peeled off the transparent tape covering her mouth, allowing her to breathe freely and move comfortably again. At this moment, over thirty thugs had gathered here, and Mr. Star, Mr. Lei, and Black-Head all rushed after them. "Run! Hold on to my hand!" Gao Liang urged, and Ye Tong ran desperately forward under his guidance. One of the thugs closed in, grabbing at the hem of Ye Tong's dress; Ye Tong screamed, and Gao Liang kicked the thug to the ground with a single foot. Another thug seized Ye Tong's hair; Ye Tong cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes. Gao Liang said, "Hold on, I'll take care of it!" And then Ye Tong heard the thug exclaim, "Ow!" and released her hair. Upon looking, she saw the thug's hand covered in blood—Gao Liang had used a tiger's tusk he'd drawn from his sleeve to pierce him. "You dare touch my girl? I'm going to kill you!" Gao Liang said with graceful confidence. The thug trembled, his voice trembling, saying, "No! No!" Later, Cheng, Lei, and Hei quickly caught up, and Gao and Ye had no choice but to retreat—now cornered on a cliff overlooking the sea. "Close your eyes! Hold my hand!" Gao and Ye both leapt off the cliff together. As the waves surged from the depths, Lei, Cheng, and Hei arrived, laughing heartily. "Gao, you're done!" they exclaimed, then turned and walked away. The vast, deep blue sea stretched endlessly. Gao and Ye were carried ashore by the waves, now weak and drained. Ye had no strength left at all, and Gao barely had enough to drag her to the shore, laying her gently on the sand and pressing on her chest to perform rescue breaths—yet sadly, Ye couldn't expel the water from her stomach. Gao, now too exhausted to care, simply leaned close and whispered into Ye's lips, "Ye, for your sake, I don't care anymore!" "说完，他便用自己滚烫的唇轻轻吮吸着她的红唇，进行着口对口的人工呼吸。这是高亮第一次尝试，他竭尽全力，深吸一口气，然后对着叶彤的嘴缓缓吸气。三分钟后，随着一阵“咳咳咳”的声音，叶彤哇地一声吐出了几口咸咸的海水，全部喷洒在高亮身上。叶彤渐渐苏醒，对高亮说：“真没想到我还能活着！”话音刚落，她的神情立刻变得惊讶，连忙用玉手捂住嘴唇，惊诧地望着高亮说：“你竟然亲吻了我？”高亮点了点头。“呜呜呜！”叶彤哭了，显得十分伤心。高亮自认为自己是天下最迷人、最魅力四射的男人，老资格的男子汉，能让他亲吻已是莫大的福分，你如今还伤心什么？然而，他错了。叶彤用充满期待的大眼睛凝视着他，语气坚定地说：“你亲吻了我，就得给我补偿！”“呃！小姐！你有没有搞错！是我救了你的啊！” Won't you just stop being unreasonable!" Gao Liang argued with her. What a hassle she was! Gao Liang thought. If the old man were any more restless, he'd hardly bother with her at all. "I want compensation for mental distress!" Ye Tong's words left Gao Liang both amused and puzzled. "How much?" Gao Liang had become quite wealthy now—hadn't he just earned 540,000 just two days ago? If the old man had money, he'd settle everything with money. "One million!" Ye Tong's answer left Gao Liang stunned. After a while, he asked, "When will I ever pay it off?" "I want you to pay it off for the rest of your life!" Ye Tong's tone was full of tenderness, but Gao Liang didn't grasp the true meaning of her words. He was annoyed and said, "Then I'll go find one million!" And with that, he left. Leaving Ye Tong alone on the beach, stomping her feet in frustration. What a fool you are! Gao Liang returned to his rented apartment, lay down on the bed weakly, and smiled at his bank card with a balance of 540,000. It turned out that a life-saving kiss now demanded 10 million from the elder family—plus a lifetime of repayment. Fine, the elder family must earn more—more than 10 million, no, one hundred million. Once the elder family has wealth, they will have a voice. With this thought, Gao Liang felt at ease. The elder family simply needed to earn money. Tomorrow, he would look for a job. Real estate is currently in high demand. If he could get involved in this industry, he could earn even more. Gao Liang now had a clear intention to seek employment at Tianlong Real Estate. Highlight observed the disappointed expressions of the more than 100 job seekers beside him and then proudly remarked, "Your company's hiring approach is selecting one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand. May I ask, then, what exactly are your specific compensation offerings?" "Oh! That... that's still pending!" The recruitment manager was genuinely surprised that Highlight had directly come to the issue of compensation. "Is there a monthly salary of 10 million RMB?" Highlight amplified the words "monthly salary of 10 million" significantly, leaving the 100 job seekers beside him stunned. They couldn't believe that such a confident young man would be so bold in demanding a monthly salary of 10 million. "Typical of a toad dreaming of swan's flesh—yet he doesn't even take a moment to check who he is!" someone expressed disdain, watching Highlight with a look of contempt. "He's mad—just ignore him!" another person spat out, adding. The lively murmurs and comments from the crowd soon turned the entire scene into a chaotic buzz. The hiring manager was very unhappy. He got angry, threw the highlighted resume aside, and said, "We've never charged such a high fee before—please go ahead!" Highlight shrugged and replied, "If you don't invite me, you'll regret it!" The moment those words were spoken, everyone was stunned—this wasn't a job interview at all! It was clearly a threat. The hiring manager's face turned pale. He gave a signal to the security staff, and the two security personnel pushed Highlight outward. Just then, a beautiful young woman appeared. She picked up one of Highlight's resumes from the ground, quickly scanned it, and then said to Highlight's back, "Please hold on a moment!" The security staff turned to see their supervisor arriving and immediately released Highlight. The hiring manager was now flustered and turned to the beautiful woman, saying, "Ms. Nan Gong, you've arrived!" Nan Gong Yan looked at the hiring manager with a cool gaze and said, "This is an exceptional talent. Our company is an international real estate firm that seeks high-caliber, well-rounded professionals—especially welcome are high-tech talents like Mr. Gao Liang, who studied in the United States. He's asking for a monthly salary of 10 million RMB—clearly, he has the confidence to create significant value."
