The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Ling Feier looked at Tang Rao foolishly, her expression somewhat vacant.

If this matter were true, it would definitely be Giant Merchant Star's super-secret, one that only the highest echelon were qualified to know.

Now that she knew, once the upper levels of Giant Merchant Star found out, it certainly wouldn't be as simple as telling her to keep quiet.

And this time, Tang Rao might very well be here to demand an explanation.

By then, the upper echelon of Giant Merchant Star might make her the scapegoat.

In just a few seconds, Ling Feier thought of many things, so many that she was terrified.

Tang Rao telling her this was clearly to drag her down with him.

...

"Mr. Tang, why... why would you do this?" Ling Feier's face turned somewhat pale, her eyes filled with worry.

"This matter, Mr. Gong Jianliang must know about, which is why he sent you to test the waters first. If I didn't know, then that would have been for the best; if I came to demand an explanation, then he could react accordingly. In that case, if Mr. Gong were more insidious, he would directly push you out. You might not even get a chance to argue, and you know the tactics of the upper levels of Giant Merchant Star, everything is centered around interest. To them, I still hold great value, they naturally wouldn't fall out with me, so they would definitely need a scapegoat," said Tang Rao with a smile.

Ling Feier's face turned even uglier; she understood all that Tang Rao was saying.

Actually, whether Tang Rao told her or not, the moment she came looking for Tang Rao, she was already being used as a carrier for the blame.

As long as Tang Rao pressed the upper levels of Giant Merchant Star for an explanation, she would immediately be discarded.

"You people of Giant Merchant Star are just too pragmatic, too focused on interest," sighed Tang Rao.

Ling Feier was silent, of course she knew this.

But even knowing, what was the use? Since she had chosen this place, she had to be prepared for this.

"We of the Moon are much better than Giant Merchant Star, each individual is independent with human rights and dignity. And as the commander of the Moon, I would absolutely not let my brothers and sisters become scapegoats. Even if they did indeed do something to provoke someone to seek revenge, I would do everything I can to protect them," Tang Rao said.

Ling Feier looked at Tang Rao, seemingly beginning to understand Tang Rao's plans.

"Mr. Tang... I understand what you mean, but..."

"You don't need to leave Giant Merchant Star. You can still live and work here. The only difference is that your boss will change from Giant Merchant Star to me, Tang Rao. Well, to put it simply, you would be acting as a spy here," Tang Rao said with a smile.

"I..."

"If you agree, then you can swear by the Heavenly Dao. If you don't agree, then you might have to carry the blame, and you might even be annihilated by the people of Giant Merchant Star," Tang Rao interrupted Ling Feier.

Although this was somewhat cruel to Ling Feier, it was a necessary part of the plan.

"I know this is very tough on you, but I'll repeat what I said: if you agree, you will receive a great reward," Tang Rao said with a smile.

This is what Tang Rao told her when they first met, and in the end, she chose to trust Tang Rao, indeed receiving an incredibly huge reward.

If it weren't for Tang Rao, she wouldn't have been able to sit in her current position at all.

Tang Rao didn't rush Ling Feier but quietly waited, occasionally sipping some wine and pairing it with a few peanuts.

The wine from Jiuxian Building was just incomparable, so fragrant and mellow.

A few minutes later, Ling Feier swore by the Heavenly Dao.

She had no choice; in this situation, she could only be loyal to Tang Rao. Otherwise, her own end could be very tragic.

"A smart choice, I've always known you're a bright girl." Tang Rao was very optimistic about Ling Feier, although she might seem fragile and sometimes indecisive. But when it really mattered, she always made the right choice, which is very important.

"Smart, but still held in the palm of Mr. Tang's hand..." muttered Ling Feier.

"I'm saving you, saving you from the sea of suffering, and leading you towards a bright future. Now you've become part of the Moon, don't you feel different? Do you feel a new sense of responsibility, an anticipation for the future, and a longing for a better life?"

"Not really..."

"Girl, you still need to enhance your understanding."

Since she had already sided with Tang Rao, Ling Feier became much more casual in her conversations.

Only after talking more did Ling Feier realize that Tang Rao wasn't as serious or as cold and ruthless as she had imagined. Before him, there was no need to be guarded or tense; you could even bicker with him directly and he wouldn't mind at all.

...

"Fei Er, it's about time to notify Gong Jianliang. Hey hey hey, stop drinking, go and notify Gong Jianliang." Tang Rao pulled the wine cup from Ling Feier's hand.

"How should I notify him? What should I say?" Ling Feier asked.

"Just say whatever you need to say, why are you asking me..."

"You're the boss, of course you should give the instructions! What if I say something wrong and ruin your plan, wouldn't that be a disaster?" Ling Feier fluttered her eyelids.

"Joking, my plans are flawless like Lao Hei's, how could they possibly be ruined. Just say whatever, everything is within my expectation, there won't be any mistakes," Tang Rao said with a mix of pride and coquettishness.

"Then I just tell Gong Jianliang that you know those Heavenly Demons from outside the domain were sent by Giant Merchant Star..."

"Fei Er, let's talk this over nicely, let's figure out what exactly to say..."

...

Gong Jianliang was still anxious; it had been over an hour and there was still no message from Ling Feier, which made him very uneasy.

He was really afraid that Tang Rao knew that the Heavenly Demons from outside the domain were sent by Giant Merchant Star.

"Mr. Gong, are you finished with your business?" Just as Gong Jianliang was getting restless, Illusion City suddenly pinged with a message from Ling Feier.

"Almost forgot with all the busyness," Gong Jianliang took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, "How's it going on your side, Fei Er? Do you know what Mr. Tang is here for?"

"He didn't say the specifics, just that he wants to talk business with you, said it's a big deal. He said you'd be very interested. I'm drinking with him right now; Mr. Tang seems in a rather good mood," said Ling Feier.

Hearing Ling Feier's words eased Gong Jianliang a bit.

If Tang Rao knew that it was Giant Merchant Star who had sent the Heavenly Demons, he would likely not be in such a good mood.

"Alright, I got it, tell Mr. Tang that I'll be there in five minutes," Gong Jianliang said.

"Got it, Mr. Gong." Ling Feier replied and then disconnected from Illusion City.

...

"Boss, does Mr. Gong really know about this?" Ling Feier looked at Tang Rao.

"He should know, but my guess is that he came across it unintentionally. Although he is now the head of the eastern district, he is still just an employee, not really part of the top echelons of Giant Merchant Star," said Tang Rao.

"That's a relief, Mr. Gong has always taken good care of me…" Ling Feier breathed a sigh of relief.

If Gong Jianliang had been involved in the discussion and formulation of this matter as well, Tang Rao, with his personality, would definitely not let him off easily.
