My Gorgeous Landlady

"Quite a beauty,"

Liu Chen considered inwardly as he evaluated the young woman before him.

This young woman was indeed beautiful, with long flowing hair draped over her shoulders, a gorgeous face, and a pair of charming eyes that carried a hint of allure, looking unspeakably tempting.

Exceptionally eye-catching.

Just as Liu Chen was thinking this to himself, the alluring young woman walked up to him and said indifferently, "There are a total of three rooms here. I am staying in one, another girl is staying in another, and this one is yours.

The rent is fifteen hundred a month, and we'll split the utilities three ways. This is the bathroom and washroom, and this is the kitchen, which we'll all share."

Qin Lu briefly introduced Liu Chen to the rental situation.

"Alright, this is the key to the building, and this is the key to your room. If you want to change the lock, just go buy a new one yourself."

Qin Lu said indifferently while handing over the keys.

"If there's anything else, come and find me."

Having said that, Qin Lu turned and returned to her own room.

Seeing this, Liu Chen couldn't help but give a wry smile. The landlord was really cold; with such a landlord, it seemed like air conditioning wasn't even needed in the heat of summer.

Liu Chen muttered to himself and then went downstairs to find a large mall where he bought all the necessities of life, lugging two large bags of items back upstairs.

"Whew, I finally have my own place now. Life isn't too bad,"

he said, with a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

After sprawling on the bed for a while, Liu Chen changed his clothes, setting aside the old set in a basin and then entering the bathroom.

After watching for a while, Liu Chen also began to feel bored and started to wash his clothes.

Once he was done with that, he took a shower and then returned to his room.

Lying in bed, he quickly fell asleep as he had been truly exhausted from the time he left the organization, and today he could finally rest well.

He was not sure how long he had slept when he was startled awake by a series of loud knocks on the door. Liu Chen had a little quirk: if someone woke him up in the middle of his sleep, he would feel incredibly irritable, a habit he hadn't managed to kick over the years.

Or, it could also be called "waking anger."

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Liu Chen, feeling somewhat annoyed, stepped out of his room and carelessly opened the door.

Before Liu Chen had a chance to speak, two figures pushed him aside and several more people barged in behind them.

One of the leaders yelled loudly, "Qin Lu, you damned widow, come out here!

How dare you hide from me, damn it, today you better give me an explanation, or I'll tear down your house."

The man was extremely arrogant, shouting and cursing loudly in the space.

Just then, the landlord Qin Lu ran out furiously, "Zhang Xiaotian, you bastard! You drove my husband to his death and still insist on me paying back the money, why don't you just drop dead!"

Liu Chen, who was already feeling a bit annoyed, was taken aback by Qin Lu's words, and couldn't help but cast his gaze over these people, his eyes flickering with contemplation.

"Damn it, I drove him to death? When did I ever do that? That kid borrowed three million from me at the casino and has only paid back two million six hundred thousand so far. Where else am I supposed to get the remaining four hundred thousand if not from you?"

The man named Zhang Xiaotian shouted loudly.

"It's all because of you!

If it wasn't for you guys always taking my husband to gamble, how would he have become addicted to gambling? You guys are the real culprits!

How dare you bully a woman just because you think you're powerful? You bunch of bastards!"

Qin Lu shouted back, her beautiful face now looking somewhat fierce and frenzied.

"Serves him right for liking to gamble. What's that got to do with me? Qin Lu, listen to me, you have to pay back the money today, or else I'll tear down your house!"

Zhang Xiaotian calmed down, speaking with a smirk on his face.

"I've already said, I have no money, not a dime!"

Qin Lu replied assertively, her anger far from subsided.

"No money? Fine, then sell this house to me. I'll forget about the four hundred thousand. Or, you can sleep with me, and I'll also forget about the four hundred thousand. Two choices, up to you."

Zhang Xiaotian spoke casually, seemingly confident of getting his way.

"Zhang Xiaotian, you are shameless. The house is not for sale!

And I will not sleep with you. Get that through your head!"

Qin Lu yelled, her body shaking more and more intensely.

Her trembling conveyed her anger but also her fear.

After all, Zhang Xiaotian had the numbers, and she was just one woman, inherently at a disadvantage as a member of the fairer sex.

"Oh? Qin Lu, seems like you prefer to take the hard way!

Guys, block the door,"

Zhang Xiaotian said with a sinister smile, slowly moving closer to Qin Lu.

Watching Zhang Xiaotian approach step by step, Qin Lu felt a growing fear inside her. She picked up a glass bottle from the table and pointed it at Zhang Xiaotian, "Don't come any closer, or I swear I'll smash your head in!"

"Haha, smash my head in? Go on, do it if you dare!"

Zhang Xiaotian laughed wildly, quickening his pace.

As fear gripped her heart, Qin Lu swung the bottle at him, but her fearful hands missed, allowing Zhang Xiaotian to close in on her.

"You've got spunk, woman! I'll take good care of you today."

Zhang Xiaotian sneered, about to lay hands on Qin Lu in a violent intent!

At that moment, Qin Lu was also scared, retreating continuously, her captivating eyes filled with terror as she looked at Zhang Xiaotian. If she were truly defiled by Zhang Xiaotian, she'd rather die!

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Qin Lu's ear, "I'd say that's enough, don't you think? A bunch of grown men ganging up on a woman, are you proud of yourselves?"

Simultaneously, a figure instantly stepped in between Qin Lu and Zhang Xiaotian, stopping Zhang Xiaotian's raised hand in mid-air.
