Ye Shuying, with a face full of excitement and anticipation, drove Qin Yu in a Maybach, speeding towards the "mysterious address" Lu Cheng had given her.
Meanwhile, Lu Cheng had switched into "good older brother" mode, comforting Xia Qinghe, who was still a bit shaken and clung tightly to him, unwilling to let go.
He could understand, after all, it was still summer vacation, and there were hardly any pedestrians near the school... It was just Xia Qinghe, who liked to go to the school library to read.
Lu Cheng reached out, gently wiping away the glistening tear stains at the corner of her eyes, resting his chin on the top of her faintly fragrant hair, his tone becoming incredibly gentle:
"It's alright, my little white rabbit, it's over, it's all in the past."
"It was all fake, just pretend they were all actors!"
"It's my fault for scaring you."
--- After comforting his little white rabbit, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered instantly, and a fawning, slightly greasy woman's voice came through.
"Oh my! Young Master Lu! What a rare guest! How did an old man like you find time to think of me?"
Lu Cheng listened to the rather nauseating flattery on the other end of the phone, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
"I've never been your guest!"
"Madam Jin, I've sent a big gift your way today."
"His name is Qin Yu, a young man who just came down from the mountains, strong and robust, and also a... martial artist, a master of martial arts!"
"So, remember to use a larger dose."
"You absolutely must entertain him well for me!"
"You must make him... unforgettable for life!"
Madam Jin on the other end of the phone was first stunned, then let out a wave of chilling, lewd laughter.
"Oh my! Young Master Lu, you are too kind!"
"Don't worry! I love young men with this kind of charm the most!"
"I guarantee he'll be so happy tonight he won't want to leave!"
Lu Cheng listened to the sickening laughter on the other end of the phone, a flash of disgust in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by cold calculation.
This Madam Jin was a well-known figure in the wealthy circles of Modu, famous for her peculiar hobbies.
She didn't have much of a background herself, but... she was mainly responsible for cultivating and finding suitable prey for various wealthy individuals with these special proclivities.
Few who fell into her hands had a good end; a mental breakdown was considered light.
"Good junior brother, this can be considered a taste of the world for you."
"It just might be a bit too rich..."
...Meanwhile.
Qin Yu sat in the spacious Maybach, curiously touching this and looking at that, experiencing the luxury of the high-end car's interior.
Looking at the hot-bodied, capable, and stunningly beautiful female assistant... the excitement and anticipation in his heart, generated by the prospect of meeting the rich young lady, grew even stronger!
Hehehe... Master, oh Master!
If your spirit in heaven is watching, you must bless your disciple to achieve a resounding victory tonight!
To help our lineage flourish and prosper, hahaha!
Just as Qin Yu was immersed in his fantasy of a "beautiful harem," almost laughing out loud...
Ye Shuying's phone suddenly vibrated.
She subtly glanced at the screen.
It was a message from Lu Cheng.
The content was full of undeniable commands and warnings.
[You must make sure Qin Yu stays there and enjoys Madam Jin's warm hospitality.]
[This is the first thing I've formally entrusted you with. I don't want my personal assistant to be unable to handle even this small matter.]
She was incredibly intelligent and instantly understood the meaning of Lu Cheng's message!
The "Madam Jin" Lu Cheng mentioned, and the so-called "warm hospitality," were definitely not good things!
It was even a trap specifically set for Qin Yu!
Lu Cheng, this devil!
How could he not even spare his own junior brother?
What exactly did he want to do?
She knew that Lu Cheng was still testing her!
If meeting the Dragon King before was a test of loyalty, then now it was a test of her competence... Sure enough, Lu Cheng was very suspicious, and she was still far from accessing Lu Cheng's true core affairs!
She could not fail! She absolutely could not fall short at this critical moment!
The Dragon King's revenge plan... still needed her!
She looked at Qin Yu in the rearview mirror; he seemed foolish, but this guy had quickly dealt with the thugs sent by the Dragon King before, so his combat power was not to be underestimated.
In a sense, he had also obstructed the Dragon King's plan, and who knew if he would oppose the Dragon King again?
Thinking of this, she steeled her heart... What was there to fear? Anyway, Qin Yu would blame all of this on Lu Cheng... It would be better if they fought among themselves!
Blame it on Qin Yu's bad luck, for offending Lu Cheng and obstructing the Dragon King's plan!
...The car finally drove into a manor that exuded an eerie atmosphere.
Ye Shuying and Qin Yu were led into a lavishly decorated living room.
A noblewoman, whose figure was as "plump" as a moving mountain of flesh and whose makeup was so thick it could scrape off three pounds of powder, waited for them with a smile.
It was Madam Jin.
She held a glass of red wine, scrutinizing the newly arrived Qin Yu from head to toe, with eyes full of greed and desire.
When Qin Yu saw the true face of this "distinguished young lady" and her hungry gaze that threatened to devour him whole!
His brain instantly crashed!
The expectant smile on his face instantly froze and solidified!
Holy crap!!
What the hell is this?
Whose parent is this?
Meeting the parents first, whose mom is this?
Or is this the distinguished young lady that bastard Lu Cheng was talking about?
This was clearly a sow that had just escaped from the slaughterhouse!
No! Calling her a sow would be an insult to pigs!!
Even if I jump from this building today! And die!
There is no way I'm driving this model of tank!!
He was about to erupt on the spot!
But he didn't want to hit a woman!
So, he turned and tried to leave this hellhole that made him feel extremely uncomfortable and disgusted!
However!
Ye Shuying, as if she had anticipated his reaction, immediately stepped forward and firmly grabbed Qin Yu's arm!
At the same time, she showed a complex expression of anxiety, helplessness, and pleading, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Mr. Qin Yu! Please stay! Listen to me first!"
"I know that Madam Jin's appearance might be different from what you expected..."
"But! You absolutely must not judge a book by its cover! Madam Jin, she is a truly top-tier wealthy family in our Modu, with connections everywhere!"
"As long as you can endure a little, have a simple meal with her, chat a bit, and make her feel even a tiny bit of goodwill towards you..."
"Then in the future, you can walk sideways in Modu! Money, status, beautiful women, everything will be within your grasp!"
"Besides, you are President Lu's junior brother. Madam Jin would never dare to truly do anything to you!"
She suddenly paused, her voice even tinged with a sob, looking at Qin Yu with pitiful, tearful eyes.
"President Lu also specifically instructed me that if you leave now, I will lose this job..."
"I have a mother who is bedridden at home, and my father owes a lot of debt."
"And a younger brother who is still in school and waiting for his tuition fees, I really cannot lose this job..."
"Please, I beg you, just pity me, help me with this, okay?"
Ye Shuying's words were so tearful and heartfelt!
Her acting was simply superb, heart-wrenching!
Qin Yu looked at Ye Shuying's pitiful appearance, tear-streaked and almost kneeling to beg him.
Then he thought of the tempting prospects of "money, status, beautiful women" she had just mentioned... His mind, which was already stunned and a bit muddled from seeing the "heavyweight dinosaur," became even more confused!
He hesitated... he wavered... he... seemed to be a little... tempted?
After all, wasn't it just having a meal with an old woman?
How big of a deal could it be?
He was at the peak of 'Hua Jin'! Who could do anything to him?
Just endure it, and it would pass.
Then money, status, and beautiful women would all be his to enjoy, wouldn't they?
Just as he was internally indecisive...
The "plump" Madam Jin had already taken her "steady" steps, walking towards him "enthusiastically," one step at a time.
On her face, she wore a strange smile that made Qin Yu's sphincter clench.
"Oh my! This must be the young hero Qin Yu, specially introduced by Young Master Lu, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... He's truly handsome."
"Come, come... Come let older sister pamper you well!"
