Chapter 7: Offending the Big Boss

"Please, go ahead," Wang Li gestured towards the pool.

Leng Xi Yue, clad in her mermaid costume with her feet encased in a fishtail, slowly shuffled to the edge of the pool, extended her arms, and elegantly dived in.

Dressed in the fishtail, she swam gracefully and adorably, resembling a real mermaid gliding through the ocean.

From a distance, Gong Xin Yi couldn't help but stand up at the sight.

Assistant Chen Yu timely handed over a pair of binoculars for his master to better watch the mermaid performance.

Drawing from her memory of mermaid cartoons, Leng Xi Yue mimicked the mermaids' poses, gliding freely among the artificial seaweed and continuously changing her movements, even performing some complex maneuvers that even Wang Li admired, commenting, "She's more mermaid-like than Shasha."

Gong Xin Yi, with the binoculars, was engrossed in the performance when a man in a suit wearing sunglasses and a thick gold chain around his neck, accompanied by ten bodyguards with an imposing aura, approached.

"Mr. Gong, you're here?" The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of gold teeth that glittered as he spoke.

Gong Xin Yi frowned and coldly asked Chen Yu, "Who is this?"

"He is Yang Tianba, the owner of Aquatic Blossom Fitness Club," Chen Yu explained.

"Yes, that's me." Yang Tianba laughed heartily, showing off his gold teeth, and introduced himself, "I am the domineering Yang Tianba, wealthy and influential, capable of dealing with both the underworld and the elite. Anyone who meets me must call me Brother Ba."

"Is that so?" Gong Xin Yi refused to call him Brother Ba and sat down on the sofa with a cold expression.

"Mr. Gong, since you're here, why not have a girl give you a foot massage?" Yang Tianba sat down too, grinning with his gold teeth.

"I did look for someone, but she wasn't willing!" Gong Xin Yi glanced at Leng Xi Yue swimming in the water, speaking with disinterest.

"Who is it, so ungrateful? To actually refuse to give face to Mr. Gong..." Yang Tianba only glanced at the water and then couldn't take his eyes off it.

Swallowing a large gulp of saliva, he asked Wang Li beside him, "Is she the new mermaid?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang," Wang Li nodded.

"She looks good, but seems a bit naive. Let me properly train her," Yang Tianba said as he stood up.

"And how exactly do you plan to 'train' her?" Gong Xin Yi's gaze turned exceedingly cold.

"I have my ways, let me first test her swimming skills," Yang Tianba said, shedding his clothes without any dignity, and before anyone could react, he had already dived into the water.

Gong Xin Yi's expression was extremely grim, but all eyes were on Yang Tianba, not noticing Gong Xin Yi's discomfort. Everyone was curious to see how Yang Tianba would 'train' the new mermaid.

Yang Tianba, bare-chested, approached Leng Xi Yue, who was frightened and immediately swam towards the shore.

"Little mermaid, don't run, spend some time with Brother Ba." Yang Tianba suddenly grabbed Leng Xi Yue's fishtail, dragging her into his arms and fully embracing her.

Leng Xi Yue struggled desperately but couldn't escape Yang Tianba's embrace, furiously saying, "Who do you think you are? Let me go now, or you'll regret it!"

"Oh, the little girl has a fiery temper. Let's see, how do you plan to be impolite?" Instead of letting go, Yang Tianba pressed his thick lips down, almost kissing Leng Xi Yue's face.

Gong Xin Yi stood up abruptly, intending to stop everything, when suddenly there was a "slap" sound — Leng Xi Yue had fiercely slapped Yang Tianba.

Yang Tianba threw Leng Xi Yue back into the water angrily, saying, "You little thing, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? Daring to hit me, are you tired of living? Or do you not want to work anymore?"

Leng Xi Yue sank to the bottom and didn't come up for a long time.

The surface was covered with artificial seaweed, making it impossible to see what was happening underwater.

Everyone on the shore was terrified, even Yang Tianba was stunned, worried that Leng Xi Yue might drown.

Gong Xin Yi quickly walked to the edge of the pool, undoing his tie, ready to dive in for a rescue, but then Yang Tianba suddenly screamed out loud, sounding almost like a slaughtered pig.

Turns out, Leng Xi Yue had dived to the bottom, reached Yang Tianba's feet, and grabbed both of his little toes, twisting them outward with force.

Yang Tianba was in immense pain, forced to let out a scream like that of a pig being killed.

Gong Xiyue, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but curve his lips in interest, it seemed this woman had some ability to protect herself and wouldn't tolerate any loss.

After retaliating against Yang Tianba, Leng Xiyue immediately swam towards the shore.

"You brat, I'll kill you!" Yang Tianba chased after her furiously and quickly caught up with Leng Xiyue.

Wang Li worriedly said, "Leng Xiyue, what did you do to him? He's our boss, the biggest boss!"
