Chapter 26 The Poisonous Scheme
The two of them bickered all the way.
Embarrassment and annoyance mingled within Su Yinxue, yet she did not let go of Yang Fei's neck.
Although she found the guy obnoxious and shameless, for some reason, Su Yinxue instinctively felt that he might not be a bad person.
Perhaps it was because, at the hotel last time, Yang Fei didn't take advantage of the situation.
Perhaps it was Yang Fei's clear and transparent gaze.
Perhaps...
In any case, this signing was extremely important for Su Yinxue's company, and she had no choice but to submit for the time being.
Su Yinxue comforted herself in her heart while still embracing Yang Fei's neck.
She tried her best to keep her vital parts away from Yang Fei's chest.
However, it was hard to tell whether Yang Fei was doing it on purpose or not, but often when Su Yinxue was not paying attention, he would tighten his grip.
And so, Su Yinxue found herself repeatedly leaning against his chest.
Suspecting that Yang Fei was deliberately taking advantage of her, Su Yinxue stole a glance at his face only to find him looking innocent and unaffected.
This, in turn, made Su Yinxue secretly chide herself for being petty.
She didn't know that, despite Yang Fei's seemingly righteous indignation, he was secretly praising himself, "Iceberg beauty, but the body is anything but icy."
"Tsk tsk, this feeling, so delightfully bubbly."
While Yang Fei and Su Yinxue were tangled up with each other, Wu Wei was throwing a fit in his own bathing center.
The Clear Spring Flowing Over the Stone Bathing Center was one of Wu Wei's main industries.
Running a bathing center was not doable without a strong background and exceptional means.
But once it operated normally, it was extremely profitable.
It was daytime now, and there weren't many customers in the night scene.
Yet all the staff were trembling with fear, daring not to slack off.
The middle of the bathhouse hall looked like the aftermath of a storm, strewn with broken vase pieces, a mess everywhere.
Upstairs, Wu Wei, who had just let off steam, was still seething with anger.
It was one thing for a nobody like Ma Liu to get taken down in the Lanting Hotel.
But the subsequent two groups of guys that he sent over both suffered heavy losses.
The first batch of men who caused trouble, seven or eight of them, all had burns and scalds and were now hospitalized.
The daily hospitalization, medical, and nursing fees were a significant expense.
Dropping ten thousand bucks a day into the hospital, it didn't even make a splash.
Green Hair had it even worse; he was caught by the police for drug possession.
Based on the amount of drugs found at the scene, he was carrying over fifty grams, which might land him a prison sentence.
If it had been someone else, it might have been alright, but Green Hair happened to be a little mistress's younger brother of Wu Wei.
With him in trouble, Wu Wei had no way to explain it to the newly acquired Little Mei.
After much thought, Wu Wei felt like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog when dealing with Lanting Hotel – he had no idea how to proceed.
The lessons from the successive failures told him that the seemingly ordinary Lanting Hotel was not simple at all.
"Damn it, if I can't take down Lanting Hotel, how am I supposed to keep my face in this area?"
Although Wu Wei was wary of Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi, he had no intention of letting Lanting Hotel off.
After venting his anger, he dialed the mysterious Young Master Sun's number and shared his plan.
Young Master Sun chuckled lightly with a carefree tone, "It seems that Lanting Hotel is harboring a master. Boss Wu, what do you plan to do?"
Wu Wei said fiercely, "Young Master Sun, didn't you take a fancy to Lin Xueyi?"
"I'll have a couple of guys kidnap her and send her directly to your room. Young Master Sun, you can do whatever you want with her."
"After you've had your fun, we can then talk to her about compensation."
"Oh, you really planning to make my Sister Xueyi pay you a million?"
From the phone came Young Master Sun's effeminate voice, sounding somewhat displeased.
Wu Wei chuckled twice, "Please rest assured, Young Master Sun, how would I dare ask your woman for money?"
"It will just be for show at that time, so no one can say that Wu Wei can't even handle a woman."
Young Master Sun pondered for a moment before finally letting out a helpless chuckle, "You rough folks really don't know how to cherish and respect a woman."
"I'm giving you fair warning: if you scare or hurt my Sister Xueyi, I'll never forgive you," he said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Wei knew that Young Master Sun had agreed to his plan and was instantly overjoyed.
He said with a smile, "Young Master Sun, rest easy, I'll send Abiaao to do it."
"He's very measured in his actions. I guarantee that the boss's wife will wake up right in your bed, haha."
Young Master Sun chuckled, his tone already revealing his uncontrollable excitement, "Then I'll leave it to you, just make sure it's done cleanly."
"I know what you're after. You want one million in compensation simply because you've got your eye on the location of Lanting Hotel."
"You plan to take over Lanting Hotel and open a Clear Spring Flowing Over the Stone Bathing Center franchise, right?"
He grinned and said, "As long as you handle things neatly, that spot is yours."
"Just don't mistreat my Sister Xueyi, and maybe I can help you out too, take some 'love photos' of her to facilitate your moves, how about that?"
Wu Wei, upon hearing this, was immediately ecstatic.
He had already discerned Young Master Sun's intention; under normal circumstances, Lin Xueyi would never sell the hotel.
But what would be the result if she were threatened using what a woman values most – her reputation and public image?
Yang Fei hadn't realized that a large net had already been stealthily cast toward Lin Xueyi.
At that very moment, he was carrying Su Yinxue into the Taihe Building on the first floor.
The Taihe Building was an eight-story structure.
From the first to the sixth floor, there was a huge shopping mall called Jinyuan Shopping Center.
The seventh floor was the office area for the employees of Taihe Group Company, and the eighth floor housed the offices of the top executives.
As soon as they entered the Taihe Building on the first floor, Su Yinxue struggled to get down, and Yang Fei let go accordingly.
There wasn't much of a problem with Su Yinxue's foot; she could still walk without issue.
Instead of going upstairs immediately, Su Yinxue went to the restroom to tidy up her makeup.
When Yang Fei saw her again, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise, "Yinxue, are you trying to bewitch that guy on purpose?"
"I have to tell you a fact, I hate using beauty as a tactic unless it's aimed at me."
Su Yinxue ignored his flattery.
Having only known him for less than a day, Su Yinxue had already clearly recognized that Yang Fei was a thorough scoundrel.
If you responded to him, you wouldn't know how many nonsensical things he would say, enough to make one burst with anger.
Su Yinxue was still wearing her OL suit, with wide-legged trousers showing elegance and nobility.
The slim-cut suit with a small open collar outlined Su Yinxue's willowy waist irresistibly.
In the restroom, she swept her hair up high, making her pale neck appear even longer.
The white gold ornaments she wore around her neck, set with cat's eye stones, were extremely noble and elegant.
With such refined temperament and distinguished poise, coupled with Su Yinxue's inherently cold demeanor, she seemed unapproachable.
Any male creature seeing her would feel the impulse to conquer.
Of course, ordinary men, when faced with such a queen, would likely lack even the courage to take a second glance.
Yang Fei noticed a trait of Su Yinxue: whenever it came to the business circle, it was as if she radiated a light that ordinary people found unbearable to look at directly.
This unique quality made her even more aggressive and charismatic.
As he admired her secretly, Yang Fei's mind also raised a question.
Such a commanding CEO aura, he thought, was probably not something that could be fostered by a small company worth only a few million.
Considering the unique piece of jewelry Su Yinxue wore around her neck, Yang Fei suddenly realized.
Just a moment ago, the Su Yinxue he had spanked was now shrouded in layers of enigma.
Who exactly was she?
Seeing Yang Fei in a daze, Su Yinxue said indifferently, "What are you looking at? Remember what I said, you must stay close to me later and not slack off."
After saying that, she turned gracefully and entered the elevator.
Yang Fei shook his head with a wry smile. Just as he was about to follow her, for some reason, his heart suddenly panicked.
It seemed as though something particularly bad was about to happen.
This strange intuition made Yang Fei's heart skip a beat.
Watching Su Yinxue waiting for him at the elevator, he had no choice but to suppress the unease in his heart and follow her.
