The deal was struck, and after exchanging contact information with Camel, I left.
The moment I walked out the door, I glanced back at the shop named "Camel Coffee."
It was unlikely anyone would notice that on an unknown road in the Longxi region, this shop called "Camel Coffee," with its owner Camel and young assistant, were members of the infamous "Que Men" sect, feared throughout the martial world!
...
With my personal safety secured, my heart settled considerably.
Of course, it wasn't to the point of being completely carefree and without worry.
Hiring members of "Que Men" could ensure my life was safe, but it was far from enough to contend with Xiao Tianyu.
Therefore, I needed to spend more money to win over a group of people from the martial world.
There were still six days before the gambling match began, leaving plenty of time to plan and prepare.
After all, I couldn't just passively react; that would easily allow Xiao Tianyu to lead me by the nose.
Finding an opportunity to take the initiative might yield unexpected results.
I refuse to believe that Xiao Tianyu, known as "Mad Dog," has no weaknesses or flaws!
Every man, no matter what, is bound by "wine, lust, wealth, and temper." In plain terms, this means: drinking, lust, greed, and pride.
While I didn't know Xiao Tianyu well, there wasn't a man in this world who wasn't susceptible to lust.
Therefore, I decided to start with "lust."
The matter of seducing Xiao Tianyu had to be handled by someone trustworthy, as the consequences of failure were severe, so severe that I might not be able to bear them.
After much thought, I called Yang Liuqing and asked if there were any members of the "Lan Hua Men" sect in her circle who were making a living in the Longxi region.
After a brief silence, Yang Liuqing replied that there were and provided me with the person's name and phone number, telling me to contact them myself.
The "Lan Hua" woman Yang Liuqing found for me had a very peculiar name: Mu Haitang!
As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was fake, just like courtesans in ancient times who used stage names to receive guests.
To know her real name... difficult!
However, whether it was a real name, a fake name, or a stage name, it all meant nothing to me. As long as she was attractive, charming, and useful!
As the saying goes: The most heartless are those of the "Lan Hua Men"!
When the "Lan Hua" women don't act, they don't act. But when they do, they are bound to succeed!
Of course, seducing Xiao Tianyu would require careful planning.
With Xiao Tianyu's social status, finding beautiful women was not uncommon; even finding handsome men was not a novelty.
Therefore, it had to be unexpected.
Only by leaving a deep and unforgettable impression on Xiao Tianyu, making him actively approach Mu Haitang, would the plan's success rate greatly increase!
After finishing my call with Yang Liuqing, I immediately dialed Mu Haitang's mobile number.
After introducing myself and mentioning our connection through Yang Liuqing, and adhering to the principle of trusting those you employ, I revealed the entire plan of seducing Xiao Tianyu without reservation.
There was no way to conceal such a matter. Not only would Mu Haitang investigate secretly, but given Xiao Tianyu's notoriety in the Longxi region, his identity would be immediately revealed once they made contact.
Therefore, it was better to be upfront.
After a period of silent pause, Mu Haitang finally spoke.
"For Xiao Qing's sake, I'll take this job! But..."
"I want a reward of one million. Fifty thousand must be paid to me in advance, and the remaining fifty thousand after the task is completed!"
I knew why Mu Haitang was demanding half the payment before the job was done.
She wasn't collecting a deposit like the "Que Men" member Camel; this was a veiled demand for hush money!
Or, to put it another way, "blood money"!
This fifty thousand reward meant that if the plan was exposed and Xiao Tianyu found out, it would end with her, Mu Haitang, and I would not be implicated!
Of course, nothing is absolute.
If Mu Haitang was a woman who feared death, valued profit over trust, then my fifty thousand would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog – gone forever!
After weighing the options, I ultimately agreed to Mu Haitang's terms and arranged to transfer the money to her as soon as the bank opened the next morning.
A "Lan Hua" woman never shows her hand until she sees the rabbit; she won't act until the money is in place.
...
The next day.
After transferring fifty thousand in cash to Mu Haitang, she began her work that evening as per my instructions.
Around 10 PM that night.
Dressed impeccably, with her ample bosom prominently displayed, Mu Haitang made a dazzling entrance at Tianci Tower.
Through the pinhole camera hidden in her handbag, I saw Mu Haitang, exuding an aura of extravagance from head to toe, immediately become the focus of everyone's attention upon her arrival at Tianci Tower.
The behavior of wealthy women is entirely different from that of wealthy men. Except for a few nouveau riche, most wealthy men who frequent casinos are generally low-key, fearing trouble.
But wealthy women are different; they come to casinos to show off, to have fun.
Do you know why? Let me share an inside secret.
Large casinos have male host managers, and their quality is far superior to those in KTVs and clubs!
Mu Haitang's high-profile appearance was intended to attract Xiao Tianyu's attention under the guise of seeking a male host.
This was something we had discussed beforehand.
As I mentioned earlier, beautiful women are a scarce resource in society, especially those with top-tier looks and figures, who attract a multitude of men.
Women who can join the "Lan Hua Men" undoubtedly possess these qualities.
Therefore, as long as Xiao Tianyu noticed Mu Haitang at Tianci Tower, unless he had a problem with his sexual orientation, he would not easily let her go.
My intuition told me that if Xiao Tianyu noticed Mu Haitang, my plan would most likely succeed!
...
After exchanging her chips, Mu Haitang found a blackjack table and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, instead of immediately playing, she naturally took out a box of slim-cut ladies' cigarettes from her handbag.
However, the lighter did not follow.
This was also part of my pre-arranged plan.
No matter where a beautiful woman goes, she will never lack admirers and is most likely to cause a stir.
If she wants to smoke, someone will eagerly offer a light.
If she wants water, someone will quickly hand her some.
Therefore, my first step in the plan was to have Mu Haitang create the biggest stir possible at Tianci Tower in the shortest amount of time, aiming to attract Xiao Tianyu's attention.
