Chapter 739: Su Yu’s Threat, Xiao Jing’s Team
December 16, 2023, Saturday.
Early morning 6:30.
The world outside the window was still shrouded in deep ink-blue darkness.
Shengyuan Fine Neighborhood, master bedroom.
Wen Ruan opened her eyes precisely on time.
The first thing that reached her nose was a cool, pleasant body fragrance.
She turned over and, using the faint night light in the corner, looked at the woman still sleeping soundly beside her.
Su Yu was curled up quietly under the covers, a few strands of jet-black long hair scattered across the snow-white pillow, creating a strong visual contrast with her porcelain-like skin.
She didn't seem to have fully recovered from last night's drinking, her breathing long and gentle.
Unlike her fully commanding, radiant presence on screen,at this moment, she exuded a beauty like fragile porcelain.
Even in sleep, her graceful, relaxed posture remained flawless.
...This is really dangerous.
Wen Ruan sighed inwardly.
Forget that playboy Tang Song, even I, a straight woman through and through, feel a bit unable to control myself sleeping in the same bed with such a stunning beauty.
To be fair, just in terms of facial delicacy and perfect bone structure, even Director Jin was slightly inferior to Su Yu.
She was truly a top-tier divine beauty favored by the creator, captivating both men and women.
Wen Ruan resisted the urge to poke that face, quietly lifted the covers and got out of bed.
After washing up, she changed into a figure-hugging gray workout outfit in the walk-in closet.
While going downstairs, she picked up her phone.
As the screen lit up, several WeChat messages from Tang Song popped up.
The timestamp showed early this morning.
[Tang Song: [photo1].jpg, [photo2].jpg, [photo3].jpg...]
[Tang Song: "Sis, send more photos of you and Su Yu. (#drooling) Perform well, and this villa will be your French palace from now on. I think you'll really like it."]
Wen Ruan opened the first photo, and her breathing instantly quickened.
It was a panoramic aerial shot.
Nestled amidst lush olive groves stood an incredibly charming Tuscan countryside-style villa.
Warm red brick walls covered with ivy and wisteria, huge arched floor-to-ceiling windows opening outward, connecting to a wide stone terrace and a wooden dock extending straight to a private lakeside.
The sunset glow bathed it like a richly colored oil painting, exuding intoxicating laziness and romance.
She continued swiping her finger.
The photos showed behind the villa, a professional-grade mountain biking trail extending deep into the forest.
Next was the exquisitely textured original wood interior decoration of the villa.
Additionally, Tang Song had sent photos of the estate's facilities.
Like the industrial cold-style underground shooting range! Walls covered with various firearms—this totally hit her excitement point.
And that independent cycling workshop at the forest edge, full of mechanical aesthetics.
Sunlight streamed through tall glass windows, illuminating an entire wall of top-tier carbon fiber racing bikes.
As an experienced cycling enthusiast, she immediately recognized the one hanging in the center position—
Pinarello's newly released Tour de France champion limited edition!
Unobtainable even with money!
Scrolling further down was an all-glass gym with unparalleled sea views, and in the distance, that breathtakingly blue Côte d'Azur that looked mesmerizing even in photos.
Wen Ruan felt her blood instantly boil.
Damn, I'd heard he was going to France to inspect an estate.
But I never expected... it would be this level of estate?!
What woman could resist such temptation?
That dog man knows my preferences too well, practically dancing wildly on my aesthetic sweet spots.
Damn it! I'm being manipulated!
Wen Ruan bit her lip, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help curling upward.
She typed a reply: "Su Yu is my closest friend. She gave me a luxury residence in Modu, and also gave me the adorable ragdoll cat Snowball. Want to see photos? Gotta pay more!"
At this time, Nice was in the middle of the night.
As expected, she didn't receive his reply.
Wen Ruan sat in the empty gym, staring at those blood-pumping estate photos for a while longer before reluctantly putting away her phone.
Accompanied by upbeat music, she began high-intensity cardio.
The elliptical machine whirred rapidly, sweat soon soaking her tight workout tank top, sliding down her tight, smooth abdominal lines...
After exercising, she walked into the spacious shower, letting warm water "splash" over her sweaty body.
In the misty haze, she looked at her naked self in the full-length mirror,
unable to resist turning her body left and right.
But compared to Su Yu's heaven-favored, exquisite body that seemed like CG modeling perfection,
she still seemed a bit more ordinary.
No helping it—being around such an unreasonably top-tier beauty day and night really easily causes appearance anxiety.
However, this slight sense of loss vanished in an instant.
Everyone's beauty is different.
Her hourglass figure, with curves in all the right places, had its own charm too.
Having sorted her feelings, Wen Ruan dried off, changed into casual clothes, and returned to the first floor.
The air was already filled with an exquisite, tempting aroma that instantly stirred her appetite.
The typical taste of Suzhou-style breakfast.
The fresh fragrance of crab roe soup dumplings, the sweet aroma of osmanthus sugar porridge...
It was made by the nanny aunt Su Yu specifically brought this time.
Then, light footsteps came from the stairs. Su Yu, wearing a silk champagne-colored robe, slowly descended from the second floor.
Her long hair casually tied up, her gait elegant, lazy yet noble.
"Morning, Wen Ruan."
"Morning, big star."
The two sat at the dining table, enjoying this lavish breakfast together.
Wen Ruan took a sip of soy milk and asked, "What's your schedule today? Want me to show you around? But... be prepared to be fully armed. If your face gets exposed, probably all of Yancheng will experience traffic paralysis."
Su Yu smiled gracefully, picking up a crystal-clear shrimp dumpling: "No need. I have some private matters today—two online friends I need to meet."
"Online friends?" Wen Ruan's eyes widened in disbelief. "You have online friends?"
Su Yu laughed: "Yes, Yao Lingling and Cheng Qiuqiu. You probably know them."
Wen Ruan's eye twitched violently.
Well, Su Yu is really going all out.
Yesterday it was Xu Qing and Shen Yuyan, today it's those two female employees from Songmei Apparel.
This is clearly declaring sovereignty!
Poor Lingling...
She knew that Yao Lingling already had some inferiority complex, feeling restrained even around her.
If she saw a rival of Su Yu's caliber,
her confidence would probably shatter on the spot.
But then—
A mischievous thought rose in Wen Ruan's heart. Hehe, she had experienced this kind of "dimensional reduction strike" despair herself.
Thinking about making others go through it too was quite amusing.
If Lingling really broke down, she could comfort her later, and incidentally earn some favorability points.
After finishing the exquisite Suzhou-style breakfast, the sky was fully bright.
Wen Ruan looked at the female star bathed in morning light, unbearably beautiful, her eyes sparkling.
She took out her phone and suggested: "Su Yu, come on, let's take another photo together?"
Su Yu was startled, then looked at her with a knowing smile: "Is it for him to see?"
Wen Ruan blushed slightly, clearing her throat: "Sort of. You know how he is—an old hand. Knowing you're staying here, he's crying and begging to see our photos together."
Su Yu pursed her red lips, revealing a bright smile, "Okay."
Just then, rapid footsteps suddenly approached.
Assistant Cheng Xiaoxi came over quickly with a phone, looking somewhat nervous,
"Sister Yu, phone call. It's from Ms. Ouyang."
Hearing this name, Wen Ruan instantly pricked up her ears, her gossip radar fully activated.
The charm on Su Yu's face instantly vanished, she stood up from Wen Ruan's lap, took the phone, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Hello... it's me."
"Postponed?" Her voice suddenly turned cold. "For how long?"
Su Yu's fingers gripping the phone tightened abruptly. "Four days?!"
"Huff——— huff——"
"Don't worry, I understand. Thank you, Sister Xianyue."
Su Yu coldly hung up the phone, standing before the window for a long time without turning around.
Wen Ruan watched her profile, hesitating repeatedly before finally unable to resist asking with concern: "Su Yu, what happened?"
Su Yu turned around, her eyes filled with icy coldness: "That she-devil is causing trouble again. Just received news—Smile Holdings' global shareholders' meeting is being postponed. Originally scheduled for one day, now directly changed to four days, with a company-wide cocktail party on the last day. This clearly aims to keep Tang Song detained in New York."
Wen Ruan's heart sank, instantly understanding the severity.
The shareholders' meeting starts on the 18th, plus the four-day extension, lasting until the 21st.
Calculating time differences and flight time, by the time Tang Song handles matters in New York and flies to Paris, it would be practically right at Christmas's edge.
If any unexpected events occurred in between, or if Director Jin created some new emergency, Tang Song might potentially be unable to make the appointment on time.
She knew how important this "Christmas date" and the following birthday were to this obsessive female star.
Su Yu's body began trembling uncontrollably, the madness in her eyes intensifying.
Wen Ruan just wanted to offer some comfort.
Su Yu suddenly sneered coldly, instructing Cheng Xiaoxi: "Notify the operations team to issue an emergency supplementary statement about the 'Christmas koi activity'."
"Say that the final drawing will be held tomorrow night, selecting two male and female fan koi winners. Due to time constraints and needing to arrange visas and itineraries for the two lucky fans, this opportunity cannot be postponed."
"If any winning fan cannot arrive in Paris on time due to personal reasons... To make up for the regret and thank them for their support, I will livestream on my birthday, read out their name and ID, tag their account, and express my gratitude."
Wen Ruan gasped sharply, her eyelids twitching wildly.
She knew that Tang Song was definitely the predetermined male fan. Once his name and ID were publicly read out by Su Yu,
in this internet age, within half an hour, his ancestors eighteen generations and all his social connections would be completely exposed.
Cheng Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, under Su Yu's unwavering gaze, lowered her head and said: "Okay, Sister Yu! I'll handle it immediately!"
Watching Cheng Xiaoxi leave, the coldness and madness on Su Yu's face receded like tidewater.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and when she turned to look at Wen Ruan, only spring-like tenderness remained in her eyes.
"Alright, business handled. Let's continue taking photos."
"Oh, okay." Wen Ruan subconsciously picked up her phone.
Before she could react, a fragrant breeze approached.
Su Yu lightly swayed her waist, turned gracefully, and actually sat sideways directly on her plump, firm thighs.
The hem of the silk robe slipped down, revealing a large section of dazzlingly white, long beautiful legs.
Then, she extended a jade-white arm, naturally and intimately wrapping it around Wen Ruan's neck, her whole body like a beautiful snake, soft and boneless, leaning into the older sister's embrace.
"Since it's for him to see, we need to make it look good."
Su Yu's face showed an extremely charming, even somewhat seductive expression.
"!!!"
Seeing the big star switching expressions so quickly, Wen Ruan's heartbeat skipped a beat.
That feeling was dangerous yet tempting, like deadly poppy.
"Hurry up and take it." Su Yu urged, her voice carrying a coquettish tone.
Wen Ruan flusteredly raised her phone, adjusting the shooting angle.
In the lens, Su Yu slightly tilted her head, a few strands of hair falling by her ears, her amber eyes half-closed, holding stars and moon, as if wanting to speak but stopping.
Just before pressing the shutter, her long, gleaming white fingers seemingly unintentionally hooked onto Wen Ruan's tight T-shirt collar.
"Click—" The image was captured.
With the top actress's acting skills enhancing it, this photo seemed to come alive.
The unspoken words in Su Yu's eyes, the shyness and panic on Wen Ruan's face...
Slender, abundant.
Everything so natural, yet filled with suffocating sexual tension.
Wen Ruan looked at the photo on the screen, her throat moving with difficulty.
She never imagined a casual shot could have such good effect.
"Huff—" She sighed in relief, preparing to stand up. "This should be fine, right? I'll go get your—"
"Don't move." Su Yu showed no intention of getting up, instead pressing her shoulder. "How can one photo be enough?"
Su Yu looked at her, excitement sparkling in her eyes. "What if he doesn't like that style? We need multiple backup plans."
Immediately after, under the older sister's shocked gaze, the female star kicked off her slippers.
Barefoot on the sofa, her silk robe inadvertently slipped to her shoulders, revealing the lace see-through sexy underwear underneath.
In the morning living room, the atmosphere gradually became strange.
Wen Ruan mechanically followed Su Yu's instructions, watching her display various blood-pumping poses before the camera, her mind blank.
What a seductress...
And an extremely intelligent, highly skilled, love-crazed mad seductress at that.
Thankfully there's Director Jin above keeping her in check, otherwise all of them combined probably wouldn't be Su Yu's match.
Yancheng, Lan Feng International luxury apartments.
Xiao Jing swiped the black access card Annie gave her and entered the elevator.
Swiping the card, going directly to the top floor, she arrived at the armored door of 3001.
Today, she came to this apartment not to find Yanqing or Luna, but to meet her mentor.
Taking a deep breath, she entered the password.
"Beep beep—click."
The heavy security door slowly opened.
The decoration style here was completely different from downstairs.
Full of modern minimalist cold lines, black-white-gray main tones occasionally accented with expensive metal artworks, exuding detachment and sophistication.
Xiao Jing carefully stepped inside.
In the center of the living room, beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall was Yancheng's dazzling skyline.
Anne Kate reclined on the sofa.
She wore an extremely simple tight low-neck short-sleeve T-shirt paired with fitted blue jeans.
Seemingly casual, yet perfectly showcasing her devilish figure.
Her dazzling platinum blonde hair cascaded in waves over her shoulders, deep blue eyes like the ocean, casually playing with a pure silver lighter in her hand.
"Click, click—"
Clear metal clanging sounds echoed in the silent living room.
"Good morning, Mentor Annie."
Xiao Jing stood several meters away, obediently bowing her head in greeting.
Annie nodded slightly, raising a finger.
A white woman who appeared to be an assistant quickly approached, silently taking Xiao Jing's heavy coat and hanging it aside.
"Jane, come sit."
Annie patted the spot beside her, her tone lazy.
"Yes."
Xiao Jing walked over and sat beside her, not feeling oppressed but somewhat excited instead.
She secretly moved closer to Annie, sensing the unique scent of tobacco mixed with cold perfume on her.
"You know why I asked you here, right?" Annie turned her head, examining her.
"I know, for the hunt." Xiao Jing's eyes sparkled.
Annie smiled with satisfaction, lightly clapping her hands twice.
"Pat, pat."
With the claps, a figure in sharp professional attire walked out from the side hall.
It was a seemingly sharp and capable Asian woman holding an iPad.
"This is the helper I prepared for you," Annie introduced. "Lily."
Lily stepped forward, respectfully presenting the iPad to Xiao Jing: "Miss Jane, this is the target information you requested."
Xiao Jing took it, looked down, and her heartbeat instantly skipped a beat.
Too detailed.
Detailed to an outrageous extent.
Target: Li Jingzhong.
From his life resume, hobbies, to company and work details;
from the specific locations and loan balances of his two properties in Yancheng, to his parents' detailed hometown address, health condition...
Even the nightclub booth numbers he frequented, his preferred alcohol brands, and some unknown private preferences...
Everything was clearly presented on this small screen through cold data and high-definition photos.
In less than two days, this person's entire life had been completely exposed.
Like a skinned frog, laid bare on the dissection table.
Xiao Jing's fingertips trembled slightly, her face flushing.
This is... the power of a villain big boss?
Excitement, fear, thrill...
Countless emotions intertwined, making her feel somewhat dizzy.
"This is the power of intelligence." Annie's voice sounded by her ear, carrying a hint of bewitching laughter. "Now, you are the hunter, he is the prey. What you need to do is use this information to find his most vulnerable soft spot, and then... stab it fiercely."
She reached out, gently stroking Xiao Jing's back, as if comforting a restless kitten.
But her tone was cold:
"I will check your homework anytime. Jane, remember what I said—I hate soft-hearted people. Since he offended you, he should pay the price. I want to see perfect revenge."
Xiao Jing's body trembled, whispering: "Mentor Annie... but Song told me not to do anything illegal..."
Despite having those perverted little hobbies, deep down she was still that well-protected rich girl who never thought about crossing legal boundaries.
And feared actually causing major trouble.
"Ah..."
Annie let out a disdainful cold laugh. She took out a slender women's cigarette from her pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, then slowly blew a perfect smoke ring.
Amid the swirling smoke, her eyes became extremely playful.
"Illegal? When did I teach you to break the law?"
She leaned close to Xiao Jing, her voice low like devil's whisper:
"The more someone values something, the more they fear losing it. True revenge artistry works within the rules, using human weaknesses to make the other person ruined and wishing they were dead. That's called tactics, understand?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jing was first stunned, then nodded vigorously.
The fear in her eyes dissipated, replaced by excitement called "accomplice."
She seemed to already understand what she should do.
Can't blame me for this, Li Jingzhong.
Who told you to offend Lord Tang Song and even think about keeping Qianqian as your mistress?
You brought this upon yourself!
"Of course..." Annie paused, changing her tone, a strange dangerous glint flashing in her eyes. "If you really want something deeper to happen to him... that's also simple."
She extended a finger, lightly drawing a circle in the air.
"Find a way to make him go abroad, whether Southeast Asia, Mexico, America... Once he leaves this land, I can show you another, completely different landscape."
Xiao Jing shuddered, feeling as if standing at the entrance of a massive dark empire.
Wanting to peek inside, yet afraid to step forward.
"Alright, theory class over." Annie extinguished the cigarette, stood up, and reached out to Xiao Jing. "Come with me, prepared a real initiation gift for you."
Xiao Jing, without understanding why, obediently reached out and took the tall foreign woman's hand.
This mentor's hand, from years of fitness, had thin calluses, feeling so secure...
Xiao Jing couldn't resist secretly rubbing it.
Annie seemed to notice something, but only smiled meaningfully, not exposing her.
Leaving room 3001, crossing the hallway, they arrived at another apartment on the same floor.
Lily following behind immediately stepped forward to open the door.
They walked in.
This room had little furniture, most noticeable were four people standing in the living room center.
Two men, two women, varying skin tones, both Asian and white.
They wore unified black clothing, exuding a trained cold aura.
"You've already met Lily, she's responsible for intelligence coordination."
Annie first looked at the female assistant beside her, then turned to face the four people.
"These are your security consultant team. They excel in combat, tracking, hacking, even... some special methods. From today, they are under your management."
She turned to look at the stunned Xiao Jing, a playful smile curling her lips.
"If you want revenge, no need to dirty your hands personally. Tell them what show you want to see, they'll direct everything for you."
Xiao Jing looked at this movie-poster-like scene, only feeling a "buzz" in her head.
Countless little stars appeared in her eyes.
This... what is this?!
Exclusive death warriors?! Royal guards?! Black-clad organization?!
Oh my god! Am I really becoming a villain BOSS?!
Amazing! So cool!
"Hello! I'm Jane!" Xiao Jing tried to make her voice sound cold, imitating that anime big boss authority.
Against her chest, the miniature recording device that had been silently working seemed slightly warm from overuse.
Making her face feel hot.
Lord Tang Song, you must understand—I was forced into this!
"Yes, Miss Jane!"
The four bowed in unison, movements perfectly synchronized.
Annie leaned by the door, watching Xiao Jing's appearance, a playful smile curling her lips.
What an interesting little thing...
Psychological resilience strong, acceptance ability far beyond ordinary.
Wonder what she'll become when she truly grows up?
At least, for Song, it should be a big surprise, right?
"Alright, Jane," Annie interrupted Xiao Jing's self-indulgence. "First chat with them properly, get to know your new subordinates. I'll wait next door. Later, we'll go meet that very interesting... Yanqing you mentioned."
After speaking, she turned and left casually, leaving the space to Xiao Jing and her team.
The room quieted down.
Lily, as team leader, stepped forward first, respectfully asking: "Miss Jane, regarding target Li Jingzhong, is there anything else you need to know? Or any specific instructions?"
Xiao Jing took a deep breath, Li Jingzhong's information rapidly spinning in her mind.
That hypocritical, lustful man with special preferences...
She looked up at Lily, clear big eyes sparkling brightly.
"Lily, could you help me find a... transgender female or drag queen?"
She paused, then seriously added:
"Appearance-wise... at least after dressing up, very beautiful and sexy. Tall, enchanting, preferably the type that can stir men's desires."
Lily's perpetually expressionless face showed clear surprise.
Immediately, she regained professional composure, nodding: "Of course, no problem. We have plenty of such resources."
Xiao Jing's eyes curved into crescents.
Since you're so lustful, I'll arrange an unforgettable "romantic encounter" for you.
This is an ultimate move I learned from those comics!
Hehe (laughs evilly), Li Jingzhong, enjoy it thoroughly!
