Power and Wealth

Chapter 851 – Like Tiger and Wolves

Evening, 8 pm.

Xu Yan screamed in shock, and her voice echoed throughout the apartment. Dong Xuebing could hear her from the bedroom.

“Xiao Dong, come here!”

“What is it, Sister Xu?”

“Come and see this!”

“Err…. What about your colleague?”

“Old Zhou had left. Come here now.”

Dong Xuebing walked out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom.

Xu Yan was touching her face in front of the mirror. She could not believe what she saw. She touched her eyelashes and pinched her tummy lightly. The coat she was wearing was thrown onto the washing machine.

Dong Xuebing blushed when he saw Xu Yan wrapped in a towel again. She is hot….

Xu Yan saw Dong Xuebing and asked. “Xiao Dong, what is going on?”

Dong Xuebing knew he had gone overboard with REVERSE this time. He cleared his throat before he answered her. “Your body condition is different, and the treatment effect is better.”

“But this is ridiculous.” Xu Yan exclaimed. “I don’t look like I am in my forties. I look like I am in my thirties.”

“Err…. Aren’t that great?”

“Of course, but….”

“You seldom put on makeup. Makeup can also achieve this effect.”

Xu Yan smiled. “No wonder Old Zhou could not recognize me when I opened the door. I thought he was joking with me. I can understand why he has that weird expression on his face. I almost did not recognize myself in the mirror. I look more than one to two years younger. How can makeup achieve this result? My pigment spot and wrinkles are gone. The scar on my leg and my tummy fats are all gone!”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “If you think this is too much, I can massage you again to let you return to the previous state.”

“You dare?!” Xu Yan laughed. “I might look younger, but I am not stupid.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I’m glad you like it. My effort is not wasted.”

Xu Yan smiled. “How am I going to work on Monday? The guards might not let me walk past the State Security’s main gate.”

“That’s for sure.” Dong Xuebing joked. “You must give them time to accept your new looks. Haha….”

“Thank you.” Xu Yan held Dong Xuebing’s hand and squeezed it lightly. “I thought your treatment might be effective, but I did not expect it to be so effective. I look more than ten years younger.” She pulled his hand to her lips and kissed the back of it. “You are my lucky star. Sigh…. It would be great if you were my son.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Don’t mention it.”

“Oh, is this effect permanent? Will I return to my previous state?”

“No, but you must maintain yourself with beauty products. If not, you will start to age in a few years.”

“Ok. I will keep up with the trend and start using beauty products.”

“I think all the single guys at your workplace will go after you when you go to work on Monday. Haha….”

Xu Yan laughed. “How dare you laugh at me, Huh?” Haha…. No matter how I look, I am still in my forties. This will not change, and I don’t have plans to remarry.”

Forties?!

Xu Yan should be in her thirties.

Xu Yan’s body and appearance had returned to her thirties. REVERSE is not a beauty treatment. It reverses the time and condition of a specific target. She did not know her current body condition, and Dong Xuebing could not tell her the truth.

Xu Yan let go of Dong Xuebing’s hand and looked at the mirror again. She smiled and touched her face. Looks matter a lot to women, and Sister Xu’s breasts and butt had become firmer. Her tummy fats and wrinkles were gone. How can she not be happy with this result? Dong Xuebing watched the joy on her face and felt happy for her.

Ring… ring… ring…. The phone rang.

Xu Yan went out to answer. She looked at the caller display and asked. “Xiao Dong, is this number from the City Party Committee family quarters? Is it calling from your house?”

Dong Xuebing went over and looked at the number. “Huh? It’s from my apartment.”

“Answer it.” Xu Yan laughed. “You had told your wife that you are in a male Leader’s house.”

Dong Xuebing felt embarrassed as he answered the phone. “Hello.”

Qu Yunxuan asked gently. “Xiao Bing, has your phone died?”

“Yes. The battery has been flat since afternoon, and I did not bring my charger.”

“I saw this number from Huilan’s phone when you called her this afternoon. So, I called back. I just want to tell you that your Mum is sleeping now and she has calmed down slightly. Huilan and I discussed and felt you can return home tomorrow.”

“Are you sure?”

“We must settle this problem and can’t avoid it.”

“I…. I am afraid Mum would be angry again when she sees me.”

“She should be fine after tonight. I think it is not so serious.”

“Alright. I will listen to you all.”

“Ok. Remember to say nice things to Sister Luan tomorrow.”

“I know. Thank you. I am sorry to you and Huilan.”

“Don’t say that. It takes two hands to clap. We are all at fault.”

Dong Xuebing sighed after hanging up. Since he was young, Aunt Xuan had always put him in the first place.

Xu Yan looked at Dong Xuebing. “Is everything at home alright?”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his nose. “I don’t know. But my family asked me to go home tomorrow.”

Xu Yan nodded and laughed. “If things do not work out tomorrow, come back to my place. You can always come here if you got no place to go. This will always be your home.”

“Sure. I will look for you again when I get kicked out of my house.”

Xu Yan laughed. “You make your house sound like hell. You must have done lots of bad deeds.”

Dong Xuebing kept quiet and felt guilty conscious.

“Why are you sweating?” Xu Yan was amused. “Alright. I shall not ask you anymore. But as someone experienced, I have some advice for you. Cherish whatever you have.”

“Yes. I will remember it.”

“Good.”

“It’s already after 8 pm. What time do you normally sleep? Around this time?”

Xu Yan looked at her watch. “I am in a good mood today, and I don’t think I can sleep before 11 pm. How is your body condition now? It’s been a while since we sparred. How about we go for a few rounds?”

Dong Xuebing replied politely. “I am not your match in close combat. I had not undergone proper training, unlike you.”

“Don’t be modest. Are you game?”

“Alright. I will train with you.”

“That’s more like it. Wait. I will change.”

Ten minutes later.

The study room with a tatami mat.

Dong Xuebing’s clothes were washed, and he wore Xu Yan’s clothes. Xu Yan had changed into a white tracksuit and her hair pinned up.

Dong Xuebing praised Xu Yan. “I am no match for your overwhelming aura.”

Xu Yan laughed. “Stop fooling around and show me your true powers. I know about your fighting capabilities better than anyone else. Don’t go easy on me.”

“Alright. I will go all out.”

“Yes. Come at me!”

Xu Yan’s aura immediately changed. She was like an unsheathed sword, and she moved fast. She reached out for Dong Xuebing’s collar with one hand, and he dodged. But when Dong Xuebing avoided her grab, he tripped and lost his balance. She immediately stepped forward and pressed on his back with her knee. She twisted his arm and pinned him down on the floor.

Dong Xuebing shouted in pain. “Surrender! I surrender!”

Dong Xuebing was no match to Xu Yan if he did not use BACK or STOP. She was trained in State Security.

Xu Yan pinned Dong Xuebing down and laughed. “Can you be serious?”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “I had tried my best, and you are better than me. Oh, how come you are so strong and fast now?”

Xu Yan thought for a while. “You are right. I can feel I am stronger and faster now.”

Dong Xuebing immediately understood what had happened. REVERSE had made Sister Xu younger by ten years. Her stamina, strength, and reflexes were different now.

“Again.” Xu Yan felt good.

Dong Xuebing stood up and continued to spar with her.

One match….

Three matches….

Five matches….

Dong Xuebing was defeated in all matches.

Dong Xuebing could exchange some blows with Xu Yan in the past, but she was different now. She was as strong as a tigress, and her moves were ruthless and explosive.

A few moments later.

Dong Xuebing was pinned to the ground with an armlock by Xu Yan.

“Let’s stop.” Dong Xuebing was aching all over.

Xu Yan’s arm reached for Dong Xuebing’s neck from his back and used a headlock move on him. His head was pulled up and pressed against her ample chest. “Do you admit defeat?”

Dong Xuebing’s face was red. “Yes…. You win….”

Xu Yan was sweating, and she released her hold on Dong Xuebing’s neck. “I am covered in sweat. I am getting old. Look at you. You are not even sweating. You must be holding back on me.”

Dong Xuebing grumbled in his heart. How can I use my full strength on you?
