As the two chatted, Leon Longhair walked out of the Golden Mountain Casino. The moment he stepped outside, he saw Shawn Young holding Rainie Bai's delicate hand with a show of affection. Longhair raised his thick eyebrows, flashed a suggestive grin, and gave Shawn a thumbs-up. He stepped forward and said, "Hehe—Mr. Shawn, you really know how to handle things! That was quick! Impressive!"
Shawn Young boldly wrapped his arm around Rainie Bai's slender waist and grinned smugly, "Of course—"
Rainie Bai naturally understood what they meant. Her pretty face flushed red, and she shot Shawn Young a coy glare, but she snuggled into his arms, looking sweet and obedient.
Longhair shook his head in envy, but suddenly caught sight of David Yu behind the couple. His expression changed instantly as he strode forward and barked coldly, "Damn you, David Yu! You dare mess with Mr. Shawn? Watch me beat you to a pulp!"
David Yu just shot him a look and didn't reply. Shawn Young quickly waved David Yu off, saying, "Go inside first!"
David Yu nodded and glanced up at the Pixiu (Fortune Beast), realizing it was no longer a threat to him. He then headed straight into the casino.
Only then did Shawn Young turn to Longhair and say, "Uh—Longhair, David Yu is with me now. He'll be gambling in Golden Mountain Casino for a while, so just let him do his thing—win or lose, don't interfere. Pretend like you don't know him! But keep an eye out. If anything unusual happens, let me know right away. And if Goldtooth or Nick Carter shows up, notify me immediately! Go! Our operation officially starts now!"
"Got it!" Longhair didn't say much more. He knew part of Shawn Young's plan, so he nodded and headed back into the casino.
After the two entered Golden Mountain Casino, Shawn Young took Rainie Bai by the hand and led her on a detour, circling around to the spot where Simon Bai was squatting with his street stall.
"Hmm? Shawn, what are you planning to do?" Rainie Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Let's spice things up a bit. That way, your dad will definitely get worked up!" Shawn Young said with a mischievous grin.
"Spice things up? Like what?" Rainie Bai still couldn't figure out what Shawn Young was up to.
But before she could figure it out, Shawn Young suddenly pulled her close by the waist, pressed her against a big tree by the street, and kissed her, capturing her cherry lips in one swift move.
"Mmm—no—this is the main street—" Rainie Bai was startled by his bold move and tried to struggle, but Shawn Young blocked her lips. Worst of all—his mischievous hands slipped right under her blouse and accurately grabbed her two playful, soft breasts. They were warm, unbelievably bouncy, and incredibly comfortable!
"Ah—!" Rainie Bai screamed. He'd grabbed her sensitive spot, leaving her shocked, flustered, and embarrassingly helpless. With Shawn Young gripping her most sensitive part, her whole body tingled and went weak—she couldn't muster the strength to push him away.
Rainie Bai's scream caught the attention of Simon Bai across the street. He looked up and saw a young couple putting on a passionate show right on the sidewalk. He shook his head and sighed—it wasn't unusual for this area, after all. But the girl's voice sounded oddly familiar, so he glanced over again.
This time, Simon Bai's temper flared. He saw—his precious daughter Rainie Bai pinned against a tree by some young guy, getting kissed and nibbled, unable to fight back. The guy's back looked familiar, but with his face turned away, Simon Bai couldn't tell who he was. The most infuriating part? The punk's hand was all over her, taking full advantage!
"Damn it! Bullying my daughter? I'm gonna mess you up—" Simon Bai roared, grabbed his shoe-shining stool, and charged over.
At that moment, Shawn Young let go of Rainie Bai, turned around, and greeted the furious Simon Bai with a cheeky grin, "Hey—Mr. Bai, fancy seeing you again!"
Simon Bai froze, staring at the two of them. He glared at Shawn Young and shouted, "Shawn—Shawn Young, what are you trying to do? She's my daughter, Rainie Bai! Not some streetwalker!"
"Oh, I know that—" Shawn Young nodded and smiled at him.
"Uh—if you know, why are you messing with her?! I thought we were friends!" Simon Bai's eyes blazed with anger.
"I—I'm not messing with her. She's my girlfriend! We're just getting affectionate, that's all!" Shawn Young replied casually, even wrapping his arm around Rainie Bai's slender waist.
"Mmm—" Rainie Bai's face turned crimson, but she didn't object at all. Instead, she reached out and hugged Shawn Young's sturdy waist just as intimately.
Simon Bai's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He stood there in shock for a long moment before finally mumbling to Shawn Young and Rainie Bai, "My god! How long have you two known each other? When did you get together? How come I didn't know anything about this?"
"Not long! We only met last night." Rainie Bai answered calmly, though her cheeks were still flushed.
"What! Just one night and you're already moving so fast!? Rainie, tell Dad—did he bully you? How far have you two gone?" Simon Bai had seen Shawn Young and his precious daughter enter the Yonghe Hotel last night, and had a bad feeling ever since.
Rainie Bai glanced at Shawn Young, saw his calm expression, then turned to her father, blushing, and said, "We—we've done everything we should."
"Ah—tell Dad clearly, just how far have you two gone!?" Simon Bai still refused to give up. He couldn't believe his pure, innocent daughter would do something so shocking.
"I've already slept with him! I'm Shawn Young's woman now! Is that clear enough for you?" Rainie Bai declared bluntly.
"You—" Simon Bai's face turned red with anger. He raised his hand, about to slap Rainie Bai.
Shawn Young quickly grabbed his wrist. Simon Bai's whole body went limp, unable to muster any strength. Trembling, he cursed Shawn Young, "Shawn Young, I thought you were a good guy. I must've been blind! How dare you take advantage of my daughter! You—you—"
Unexpectedly, Rainie Bai spoke up coldly, "Enough! Dad, stop blaming Shawn Young. I chose to be with him! I want to be his woman—forever!"
"Uh—why?" Simon Bai was stunned.
"No reason. Because he can protect me. He gives me a sense of security. He won't abandon me! But you—ask yourself, can you do that?" Rainie Bai shot back, her emotions running high.
"I—" Simon Bai trembled, then hung his head in defeat, tears welling up. Shawn Young sighed softly and let go of his hand. Simon Bai covered his face with both hands and squatted on the street, sobbing.
"Think about it—you gambled away everything and left me and Mom to fend for ourselves in this hellhole! Do you know how much I've suffered looking for you? I've searched all over the country, asking everyone I could! Two months ago, Mom passed away—you know that?!" Rainie Bai screamed at Simon Bai, finally letting out all her pent-up emotions.
"What! Your—your mother... she's gone!?" Simon Bai was stunned by the news. He jumped to his feet, completely devastated, and asked anxiously.
"Mom's health was never good. After the divorce, she got even more depressed and seriously ill. Two months ago, she passed away. Before she died, she made me promise to find you and convince you to come home and start over—sob—" Rainie Bai sobbed uncontrollably as she spoke.
