Chapter 66 - Fishing with a Straight Hook

Young Master Lu's personal assistant—a position that sounded glamorous and powerful.

Now, for Ye Shuying, it felt more like a high-level nanny!

She had originally thought that with her intelligence and professional skills, even if she couldn't access Young Master Lu's business secrets, she would at least keep track of his whereabouts.

But what was the result?

She found that her so-called personal assistant role was less of an assistant and more like a nanny and errand girl for Young Master Lu's vast harem!

Today, he asked her to pre-order the latest limited-edition handbag for the pregnant Gu Qingcheng, whose temper was growing as quickly as her belly, and then personally deliver it and chat with her friend to ease her pregnancy anxiety.

Tomorrow, he would ask her to handle some minor troubles for Mu Wanrou, the head of Mu Corporation, whose aura was becoming increasingly strong, such as dealing with a few business rivals, as Mu Wanrou found it inconvenient to appear in person.

The day after tomorrow, he even wanted her to deliver precious medicinal herbs and ancient medical texts to Luo Qingyan, the divine doctor fairy renowned throughout the Demon City!

As for the seemingly innocent and harmless college student, Xia Qinghe, she also needed Ye Shuying to run errands and deliver gifts for Young Master Lu every few days, and occasionally deal with her clueless admirers at school.

Ye Shuying felt like a spinning top every day, bustling between Young Master Lu's various confidantes.

Of course, this also allowed her to gather a lot of information about them.

Ye Shuying hadn't forgotten her mission. She secretly calculated that the Dragon King's counterattack should target Young Master Lu's confidantes... And Young Master Lu himself?

He was naturally happy to cooperate with Ye Shuying's undercover performance.

From time to time, he would even deliberately leak some information in front of Ye Shuying.

For example, he would inadvertently let Ye Shuying overhear him asking Xia Qinghe about her recent studies at school in a doting tone over the phone.

Or, he would have her personally order Xia Qinghe's favorite limited-edition strawberry mousse from a popular dessert shop in Demon City, specifically instructing them to use less sugar, saying, "That girl seems to be a bit hot-tempered lately."

These seemingly casual words and actions, when heard by Ye Shuying, a professional undercover intelligence agent, turned into extremely important signals!

In her opinion, Young Master Lu was clearly quite fond of, even doting on, Xia Qinghe, this pure little white rabbit!

But at the same time, it wasn't the same level of importance as how he treated Gu Qingcheng or Mu Wanrou, who were always surrounded by bodyguards.

It was more like a superior's casual plaything, lacking strict security protection.

It seemed that this Xia Qinghe was a relatively special and relatively vulnerable presence among Young Master Lu's many women?

...After a thorough risk assessment.

Ye Shuying finally decided that the first breakthrough for the Dragon King's counterattack would be Xia Qinghe!

Her reasoning was also very sound:

Xia Qinghe came from an ordinary family, with no deep family background; one could even say she was poor.

And compared to the others, she had a simple personality, was still a college student, lacked social experience, and had no particularly strong protective forces around her, making her the easiest target!

Finally, and most importantly, judging from Young Master Lu's special care and doting words towards Xia Qinghe, this pure college student seemed to hold significant weight in his heart.

Having made up her mind.

Ye Shuying quickly transmitted this information to the Dragon King, Xiao Zhan, using Dragon Hall's special encryption method... Inside Longteng Group's temporary office.

After receiving the intelligence from Ye Shuying, Xiao Zhan looked at the information regarding Xia Qinghe.

His bloodshot eyes, red from days of frustration and anger, instantly filled with ruthlessness and morbid excitement!

"Young Master Lu! Aren't you a fan of playing with women?"

"Good! Very good! Excellent!"

"Then today, I'll let you taste it too! The taste of losing the woman you love!"

A venomous, eye-for-an-eye scheme, full of vengeful intent, immediately formed in his mind.

Kidnap Xia Qinghe!

In his opinion, this plan was simply killing three birds with one stone!

First! It would thoroughly disgust Young Master Lu and strike a heavy blow to his arrogant demeanor!

Second! Xia Qinghe could be used as a hostage, allowing them to demand a huge ransom from Young Master Lu! This would perfectly compensate for the group's recent financial problems caused by that "broken pot"!

Third! However Young Master Lu treated Mu Wanrou, he would treat Xia Qinghe the same way today!!

He even began to darkly and excitedly imagine in his mind:

If he could make Young Master Lu's woman bow before his Dragon King's might and submit to him... what an immense, bone-deep humiliation that would be for Young Master Lu!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing!

He immediately summoned Hu Sha and Tie Bi and meticulously instructed them on this "kidnap Xia Qinghe" perfect plan.

Of course, he was no longer the reckless Xiao Zhan!

This time, the three of them would only provide secret support, only acting at critical moments.

The main execution of the operation would be left to their newly recruited "allies," the desperadoes led by Black Wolf!

This way, even if Young Master Lu discovered any clues.

It would only lead to the local underworld forces being the culprits!

It wouldn't implicate Dragon Hall at all!

It was simply... foolproof!

...Just as Xiao Zhan was busily plotting his conspiracy.

At the Lu family residence, in the study.

Young Master Lu was leisurely sipping tea, feeling quite content.

After all, with Ye Shuying as his harem errand assistant, he had saved himself a lot of trouble.

Suddenly.

The phone on his desk vibrated slightly.

The screen showed a mysterious, unsaved number.

Young Master Lu glanced at the number and showed a knowing smile.

He picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the line, a somewhat familiar voice came through:

"Young Master Lu."

"The fish has taken the bait."

"They are preparing to make a move on Miss Xia."

The phone call was concise and to the point, directly revealing the core conspiracy.

After listening to the call, Young Master Lu's face remained calm, showing no surprise, as if all of this was already within his expectations and control.

He didn't even ask for a single detail, seemingly already knowing everything about the matter!

He just gave a faint "Hmm."

Then, he decisively hung up the phone.

"It seems..."

"Sometimes, a straight hook can also catch a big fish..."
