At the same time, inside the Supreme VIP private room at Fifth Season.
A man sat in the central seat, and a seductive woman beside him leaned over to light his cigarette.
This woman was none other than the regional manager of Fifth Season: Ni Min. Having heard earlier that her boss, Duan Yanxing, would be coming here tonight for a deal, she had sneaked in with the other partners.
“Master Duan…” Ni Min cooed in a sweet, delicate voice, raising her slender, jade-like hand to light his cigarette.
But to her surprise, Duan Yanxing suddenly avoided the woman’s outstretched hand as if dodging some kind of plague, his face filled with disgust. “Get away! You’re filthy!”
Hearing this, Ni Min froze for a moment before putting on a pitiful expression. “Don’t be like that, Master Duan. Why are you so harsh? Wuwuwu… It’s been so long since you’ve come to Fifth Season. Minmin has missed you so much.”
“There are rooms upstairs. How about Minmin keeps you company tonight? You can play however you like.”
As she spoke, she picked up a wine glass and tried to move closer to Duan Yanxing. The wine had been drugged in advance, and Ni Min was hoping that through this one night, she might become Duan Yanxing’s mistress.
But how could a man like Duan Yanxing be outsmarted by a woman?
Before she could even get close, a silver-gray pistol was suddenly pressed against Ni Min’s neck.
The icy coldness sent a chill through her skin, and Ni Min stiffened involuntarily.
The next moment, Duan Yanxing’s sinister voice rang out. “Play however I like?”
Ni Min’s face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly explained, “N-no, Master Duan! Minmin meant… whatever you want to play, Minmin will play along!”
“Oh?” Duan Yanxing raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? In that case…”
His gaze shifted to the several black-clad subordinates standing nearby. “Tonight, take good care of her. Let her have a good time.”
“Thank you for your hospitality, Master Duan. Hehehe…”
As soon as the words fell, several burly men grabbed Ni Min by the arms and dragged her out of the private room.
“No—don’t—!” Ni Min screamed and struggled. “Master Duan, spare me!”
Seeing this scene, the man sitting nearby couldn’t help but speak up to console him. “Brother Yanxing, is that really necessary? Ni Min was just trying to offer you a woman. Why take it so seriously? Women, what harm could they possibly do? With your status, having a little fun with a woman is nothing.”
The one saying this was none other than the host of tonight’s drinking party, Fu Jinzhou.
“Brother Jinzhou, stop talking. My boss is already angry. He’s been pursuing my sister-in-law lately, and that girl is pure and especially hard to chase. Don’t add fuel to the fire,” Duan Yanxi tugged at Fu Jinzhou’s sleeve to remind him.
“In my opinion, men these days are always switching from one woman to another. Besides, with your status, having a little fun is nothing…” another man who had come for the deal chimed in.
After all, this was the largest entertainment venue in Huacheng, a place where all sorts of people mingled. Tonight was a drinking party for a deal, and with Duan Yanxing’s status, no one would dare gossip no matter what kind of woman he played with here.
Clearly, in the eyes of these people, Duan Yanxing was being overly abstinent.
Having been in Country M for so many years, they had never seen any woman by his side.
“Exactly, Brother Yanxing. In my opinion, pursuing a wife and having fun with women don’t interfere with each other at all. Don’t you think?” Fu Jinzhou continued to add fuel to the fire, acting as if he had nothing to lose.Duan Yanxing merely glanced at Fu Jinzhou and said coldly, “Do you have a wife? What do you know?”
“…Huh? Me?” Fu Jinzhou pointed at himself, utterly bewildered.
Fine, you have a wife, you’re amazing, you’re noble, you’re impressive!
Duan Yanxing paid no further attention to Fu Jinzhou and instead picked up the whiskey on the table, taking a small sip.
“Old Five, I leave this to you.” Duan Yanxing tossed these words to Duan Yanxi as he strode out of the private room.
If it weren’t for the need to personally oversee this transaction, he would never have attended tonight’s gathering. He looked down on every single one of these people. Since the matter was already resolved, leaving the rest to Duan Yanxi for experience was of no consequence.
After leaving the private room, he headed straight downstairs. At that moment, he held a cigarette between his fingers, and the various flirtatious individuals along the way were all intimidated by the powerful aura he exuded, quickly stepping aside.
A few bold ones attempted to approach him, but they were all driven back by the black-clad subordinates behind him.
“Master Duan, that seems to be Madam over there. Why is she…” As they descended the stairs, Baihu noticed the familiar figure at the bar. She appeared heavily intoxicated, almost unconscious, and was being supported by a young man beside her.
The young man had a cold demeanor tinged with a subtle, alluring charm. Even in the dimly lit bar, he stood out, drawing sidelong glances.
When Duan Yanxing followed Baihu’s gaze, the scene made him halt in his tracks.
In the next moment, he extinguished the cigarette between his fingers. His gaze toward the young man turned fierce, but his tone remained casual. “Baihu, you have work to do.”
With that, Duan Yanxing slowly removed his wristwatch and walked toward the two with unhurried steps.
Meanwhile, at the bar, Chi Mu’s face was flushed, and she felt extremely dizzy, even struggling to stand steadily. It was only with Lin Xi supporting her that she managed to remain upright.
“Sister, let’s go upstairs to rest, shall we?”
Chi Mu blinked dazedly, her mind foggy and heavy. The mistiness in her eyes made her appear even more pitiful. “No… I… I want to go home. Let go of me first.”
“Sister, let’s go upstairs. I won’t do anything. I’m just worried about you.” With that, Lin Xi attempted to hold her and guide her toward the elevator.
Chi Mu staggered and pushed him away. “Lin… Xi, what do you mean… Let go of me. I want to go home…”
She tried to struggle, but it seemed something had been added to her drink. Her strength was no match for Lin Xi’s, and despite him being only a nineteen-year-old youth, Chi Mu gradually lost the ability to resist.
“Don’t… You, let go of me…”
Her body swayed weakly, her legs unsteady, almost unable to support her.
Yet, no matter how she pushed or shoved, she couldn’t break free from Lin Xi’s grasp.
“Lin Xi… what have you done… I’m your sister… let go of me.”
She glared at him through gritted teeth, but the fiercer her expression, the more Lin Xi found her captivating and alluring.
“Sister, be good and listen to me. I’m not a bad person. I promise I won’t hurt you.” Lin Xi spoke gently, lifting Chi Mu’s delicate and beautiful face as he leaned close to her ear, whispering seductively, “Be good, don’t refuse me, okay? Come upstairs with me.”With that, Lin Xi lowered her head, intending to kiss Chi Mu’s tender pink lips, but Chi Mu struggled.
“Sister, you need me.”
“No… let me go.” Chi Mu’s voice began to tremble, as she could feel the strange sensations rising within her body. She knew she must have drunk quite a lot.
The young man’s face drew closer, his breath scorching hot.
