Chapter 823: Chapter 229: The Legend of the Condor Heroes Trilogy
“Another drink?” Watching the beautiful woman in front of him, who exuded a mature allure, finish her whiskey in one go, Adrian shook the bottle in his hand and asked.
She let out a sigh, the flush on her face, deepened by the alcohol, becoming more pronounced. With a bang, she placed the glass on the coffee table: “Another one!”
Adrian poured her another half glass. As soon as the bottle left the rim, she picked it up and downed it again. This time, drinking too hastily, the whiskey choked her throat, and she began coughing violently, even bending her spine and tearing up. Adrian, initially intending to help by patting her back, had his hand instinctively brushed away by her. He just shrugged and let her compose herself.
“Another.” After managing to stop the coughing, she once again firmly placed the glass on the coffee table, appearing bold yet actually quite self-destructive.
“If you keep drinking, you’ll get drunk, Miss Zhu,” Adrian gently reminded her with a smile.
“It’s fine, getting drunk is perfect.” Zhu Ying waved nonchalantly, followed by a somewhat neurotic giggle, “If I’m drunk, I won’t have to think so much.”
“But I don’t like it,” Adrian replied in a calm tone.
Zhu Ying was taken aback, then laughed with self-mockery, looking a little helpless. She tossed the glass aside, then stood up and spread her arms: “Come on, do what you want to do.”
Adrian remained calm, merely lifted his hand, gesturing for her to put on the outfit placed on the nearby chair, specifically brought from Huo Wenxi.
“You rich folks have such strange quirks,” Zhu Ying snorted. She was present when Huo Wenxi brought over the clothes and knew what they were.
“I find you very attractive in that outfit, which is why I had Miss Huo bring it over,” Adrian said with a slight lift of his hand, “Hurry up,”
He spoke in an authoritative tone, which sounded rather impolite. Zhu Ying’s already flushed face became even redder. She glared at him, seemingly with a bit of anger. However, she said nothing more, swayed over to the chair, and turned back to face Adrian. Then she began slowly undressing.
Piece by piece, first the top, then the short skirt, and finally the pants. She wiggled her body as if she were doing a striptease, though not quite standard. Finally, Zhu Ying was left in only her underwear, a set of lace-trimmed white lingerie. Her figure still well-maintained, she looked very sexy. She started moving her body again, her hands sliding sensually downwards over her curves, her lower body occasionally thrusting upwards, and her eyes, clouded with drunkenness, glared provocatively at Adrian, clearly having fully given in to the alcohol.
Then, Zhu Ying began putting on the prepared clothing, starting with stockings, then a short skirt, followed by a shirt, a tie, a sash, and epaulettes, and finally a hat. Thus, a charming policewoman appeared before him.
“What are you waiting for now?” She inserted her hands on her hips, the alcohol wafting from her words, her eyes filled with a misty gaze.
In fact, he initially planned for Zhu Ying to dress up as Huang Rong in traditional attire. Despite the hassle of such an outfit, Zhu Ying was resistant from the start. Even if she were half-drunk, she might still not agree to wear it, so he had to settle for second best. Fortunately, her policewoman guise was enticing, and then…
“No problem, I can wait another day,” Adrian responded.
————-
“Is… is that so, Mr. Cowell?” When the door opened and a lady in white ancient costume came out, Adrian’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. Despite it being no more than seven or eight years ago, she still had a captivating charm.
“Yes, Miss Li, just like that,” he applauded spontaneously, “You truly are the woman who best fits the image of Little Dragon Girl, even Mr. Cha thinks so.”
Standing before Adrian in traditional attire was none other than Carman Lee, who portrayed Little Dragon Girl in the 1996 version of “The Return of the Condor Heroes.” Since TVB’s three works of the Condor Heroes made over the past ten years had seen the lead actress of the first and third series in his bed, why should the one in the middle be an exception?
“Then, what you promised…” Carman Lee looked aside, her eyelids drooping, her hands clasped together, appearing very nervous, which did not match Little Dragon Girl’s usual coolness. But what did it matter?
“No problem, I’ll add 50… no, 100 million US Dollars.” Adrian spoke very directly, since he had used unconventional means to bring her here, there was no need to disguise anything.
“Okay… alright.” Carman Lee finally lifted her head. Despite trying her best to appear calm, there was still some humiliation in her expression.
“You look a bit nervous, Miss Li.” Adrian came over, holding two glasses of wine in his hand, “Have a drink, it will make you feel better.”
Carman Lee glanced at him, took it, and sipped it slowly, while Adrian poured her another glass. After three or four glasses, her pretty face was tinged with a layer of blush; wine truly is a good thing.
Adrian then reached out to lift her chin, admiring her under the lights of the suite until Carman Lee couldn’t stand his gaze anymore and turned her head away. Only then did he pull her into his arms from behind, kissing her neck while caressing her body.
Carman Lee couldn’t help but tense up, her breathing became rapid, seemingly very uneasy.
“Don’t be like this, relax,” Adrian whispered while nibbling her earlobe, “It’s not a big deal; relax, otherwise how can you feel pleasure?”
“Yes… yes…” She closed her eyes, trying to do deep breathing as instructed by the man behind her.
“That’s good, just like that.” Adrian’s hands wandered more widely, his left hand grasping her softness through the white ancient costume, while his right hand slid between her legs.
Following his teasing rhythm, Carman Lee couldn’t help but let out one or two moans, with her slightly open eyes reflecting a hint of indescribable desire.
“Your Guo seems unlikely to come, Little Dragon Girl.” Feeling her changes clearly, Adrian continued whispering in her ear, “So, temporarily forget about him.”
“No… he’ll come…” Carman Lee, somewhat in a frenzy, replied instinctively, not knowing whether she was talking about Yang Guo or Guo Yingquan. If it were the latter, Adrian could only lament at her being so naive and… silly.
On the positive side, it complements her as very pure and innocent, without any scheming. But on the negative side, when someone like Zeng Zhiwei says it, it’s undoubtedly very stupid—tricked without knowing how it happened. Although there’s no concrete evidence, based on the collected information and some internal verification with the help of Emperor, one can judge that the reason she still stays by bankrupt Guo Yingquan’s side is largely because she feels she dragged him down.
They’d just established their relationship shortly before Guo Yingquan went bankrupt, with rumors suggesting she has the fate of a bad-luck wife—whoever marries her experiences misfortune. Hong Kong people are quite superstitious about this, and with such a stigma, coupled with the label of callousness if they break up, she has been staying honestly by Guo Yingquan’s side until the present.
Otherwise, how could a bald old man with children hold onto such a beautiful woman even after bankruptcy? Moreover, manipulating such a simple-minded woman is easy; before bankruptcy, he was at least a capable millionaire.
In this way, it became simple. Emperor acted as a mediator, allowing Guo Yingquan’s children to speak, using the bad-luck wife and recent debt collection to pressure her into solving some of the debts without Guo Yingquan knowing. Of course, the actual situation is far more complex since it’s not just about forcing someone, but Adrian doesn’t care about the specific process—all problems solvable by money aren’t problems at all, and it doesn’t cost much anyway.
Journeying south from the Capital, it seemed like a lot was spent, even sending a villa, but it’s merely the annual royalty share of a mid-range investment commercial film. Not to mention, after the DVD release of the first part of The Lord of the Rings last year, nearly 4 million copies were sold in the first week alone, bringing in tens of millions in revenue. Videotape and DVD rentals also amounted to millions, plus various peripherals—a short-term income surpassing 100 million is absolutely achievable. Isn’t that how Lucas built his empire with Star Wars peripherals?
As the director, producer, and company boss, Adrian naturally takes the lion’s share, and these expenses are nowhere near one-tenth of the share.
Therefore, let me enjoy it with peace of mind. Adrian thought while relishing Carman Lee’s body. Not only did he partake in Little Dragon Girl’s role playing, but he also made her change into a stewardess’s uniform—a shame it wasn’t the outfit from when she was a stewardess before—though when Carman Lee, having been played to the point of dropping her dignity, humbly asked guests what services they required in her stewardess look, she was still extremely alluring.
Then, the Hong Kong journey came to an end, as everything worth enjoying had been experienced. The adaptation rights for Infernal Affairs were finally procured after negotiations by the team below, and the Myth screenplay still needed time to be roughly completed, so Adrian was preparing to leave.
To be honest, he originally wanted to play a bit more—with Asian TV’s long-legged leading lady—having Demon Hunter moan beneath him in a super mini skirt was also a delight. Asian TV is also a cable channel in the United States, signed with AT&T Broadband under AC Media, and it competes with TVB. Since TVB entertained him with women, how could they fall behind? Moreover, their currently most popular program, Millionaire, was also purchased from AC Media.
However, the ownership of Asian TV has been changing constantly, with influential bosses swapping seats frequently, contributing to Asian TV’s inability to compete with TVB. Their actresses aren’t all on slave contracts like TVB’s, especially the thirteen thousand ones are already… (To be continued.
