194: Chapter 192: Urging Confusion 194: Chapter 192: Urging Confusion “I would like some.” Tangyu was quite cooperative.
“Hmm, I’ll find a quiet place for you to eat it.” Lu Xi smiled wickedly, with a flash of greed in her eyes.
She indeed intended to devour him.
Frankly speaking, Tangyu was quite handsome and formidable, and given his physical condition, he must be robust, especially vigorous and forceful given his youth.
This naturally made Lu Xi’s heart blossom with greed.
Seeing Lu Xi’s gaze, Tangyu felt increased disgust.
It seemed she really was salacious to the core.
A person, when playing a role for too long, naturally merges with it.
Just like a prostitute, who could say she has no desires?
When she is with a man, doesn’t she feel pleasure?
That’s clearly impossible.
Real zombies, how could they possibly keep their passion alive?
Men are lustful, but scientific studies have shown that women are even more so.
It’s just that men show it more often than women.
Lu Xi drove the car and soon parked in a secluded area.
Once she stopped the car, she flirtatiously tossed her hair and struck a seductive pose for Tangyu, which was her forte.
Lu Xi moistened her lips, indescribably sexy and inviting.
She placed her hand on Tangyu’s chest, pressed it lightly, and her face showed surprise, saying, “Such firm pectoral muscles; I can’t even press them down.
You’re so strong.”
As she spoke, Lu Xi’s hand wandered on Tangyu’s chest.
She was excellent at flirting, and she knew exactly how much pressure and where to apply it.
Tangyu felt a series of fine electric currents entering his body, bringing a kind of indescribable comfort.
Lu Xi’s hand wandered from his chest down to his abdomen, then stopped and seductively traveled back upwards.
Coupled with the movement at the corners of her mouth and her other hand lightly caressing her own chest, she was irresistibly sexy and tempting— a situation few could resist.
Tangyu even started feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Men are sometimes creatures of the lower body, and Tangyu was no exception; plus, he was a virgin.
The fact that he could resist such temptation was quite commendable.
Lu Xi’s gaze then fell on Tangyu’s crotch, inspecting it closely, but saw no movement.
A flicker of a different color passed in her eyes, but it quickly changed to a look of delight.
She had never encountered a man who wouldn’t get aroused under her provocation before.
To her, only one explanation made sense: the man had strong endurance, simply put, he lasted long.
This naturally made her even happier and more vigorous in her teasing.
Tangyu admitted he was somewhat lustful.
Honestly, the teasing really affected him.
An idea even flashed in his mind: fuck her; fuck this horny bitch, why not take what’s offered for free?
But reason forced Tangyu to suppress this thought.
His first time should not be casually spent on a social butterfly, as that would be an insult to himself.
Even his master would surely scold him harshly if he knew.
Moreover, Lu Xi did not meet his aesthetic standards.
If he acted on his lower half, he might despise himself afterwards.
Furthermore, he was only playing along for the mission’s sake; it wasn’t necessary to truly sacrifice his dignity.
That would be too undignified.
Seeing she couldn’t arouse Tangyu, Lu Xi boldly said, “Come on, handsome, my chest feels a bit stuffy; give it a feel.” With that, Lu Xi reached for Tangyu’s hand to place it on her chest.
Tangyu’s other hand extended and circled halfway in front of Zhang Mian’s eyes, and suddenly Lu Xi’s expression became dull, and her hand loosened.
Tangyu then released a sigh of relief, Lu Xi was easy to deal with.
Her consciousness was so relaxed at that moment that she was instantly hypnotized by him.
Tangyu’s hypnosis was advanced hypnosis, different from ordinary hypnosis.
Advanced hypnosis used a strong force of will to penetrate the hypnotized person’s mind, directly controlling their spirit, putting them in a peculiar state.
On the surface, they appeared normal.
But as long as they remain under control, their will can be completely manipulated.
Such hypnosis worked on ordinary people but was less effective on those with strong wills.
Of course, if Tangyu combined it with Pure Yang Power, even people with firm wills could be hypnotized, though it would be more cumbersome.
For example, fully hypnotizing Zhang Guoli might prove difficult.
Even if successful, it might not last long.
This Art of Hypnosis was primarily to alleviate pain in patients and as an auxiliary treatment for mental illnesses, not specifically meant to target people.
Hence, Tangyu hadn’t spent much effort on cultivating it.
He was somewhat confident about dealing with Lu Xi but unsure about handling Zhang Guoli.
“Tell me, is Zhang Guoli secretly controlling the drug trade in Donglin City?” Tangyu asked.
“I don’t know.
I haven’t heard anything about it,” Lu Xi shook her head and said.
Tangyu lightly furrowed his brows.
It seemed Zhang Guoli was extremely cautious and secretive, such that even Lu Xi knew nothing about it—a typical deeply hidden situation.
However, for such a cunning old fox, it was normal to leave no trace.
“Then, do you know who Zhang Guoli is intimately associated with, any influential bigshots?” Tangyu asked again.
Lu Xi still shook her head and said, “No one in particular; Brother Li often interacts with many important figures.”
Tangyu shook his head, realizing it was not easy to get anything useful out of Lu Xi’s mouth.
When asked, she claimed ignorance, but Tangyu figured it made sense; why would Zhang Guoli discuss such matters with a woman, especially one as sociable as Lu Xi?
After some thought, Tangyu asked, “Do you know who Zhang Guoli’s most trusted subordinate is?”
“That – I’m not too sure, but it should be his most capable bodyguard, Daozi.
Another could possibly be Shark, the Gang Leader of the Four Seas Gang,” Lu Xi replied.
Tangyu had not heard of the Four Seas Gang, but given its audacity in naming itself a faction, its influence was probably not minor.
These two individuals were noted by Tangyu; if no breakthrough could be found, he could entirely try starting with these two.
If Lu Xi was unaware of certain matters, Zhang Guoli’s most trusted persons would likely know, as it was impossible for Zhang to handle everything personally.
“Has Zhang Guoli talked with President Chen of Tianyi Advertising?” Tangyu asked.
“Yes, he did, just a couple of days ago, and the talk lasted quite long.
However, as for the specific details, I’m not sure because I wasn’t present,” Lu Xi nodded.
The corners of Tangyu’s mouth lifted in a cold arc; it seemed as he had thought, Zhang Guoli might really collaborate with Tianyi Advertising if threats did not work.
With the influence of President Chen of Tianyi Advertising, using underhanded tactics might not be effective.
If Chen couldn’t handle pressure like Zhao Xinxin, he might resort to more surreptitious methods.
Collaboration could also be a viable strategy.
Of course, it was possible that Zhang Guoli had some leverage over President Chen, but he might use the guise of partnership to push Tianyi Advertising forward while secretly controlling everything himself.
Since talks had already taken place, Tangyu believed Zhang Guoli must have reached some form of agreement with Tianyi Advertising.
Zhang Guoli’s alliance with Tianyi could significantly impact Xinxin Culture and Art.
Winning this case now seemed incredibly difficult, and possibly the only hope for victory might be securing Huangfu Jing.
However, if Huangfu Jing was indeed the ultimate weapon for victory, Tangyu did not need to worry, as he had saved Huangfu Jing’s life.
If he approached her personally, she would surely owe him the favor, right?
“Do you know if Zhang Guoli has any significant contingencies for Dali Group’s new project, or how he’s preparing for it?” Tangyu asked next.
Lu Xi replied, “I’ve heard Brother Li mention once that Huangfu Jing is the first choice; Dali Group gave a budget of one hundred million, but Brother Li intends to increase it to two hundred million.
The second choice is the equally popular Heavenly King superstar, Zhou Xingjie, for whom the offered amount is one hundred thirty million.
Probably, he will try to secure one of these two.
However, Brother Li seemed to say that Zhou Xingjie could be secured, and now the focus is on Huangfu Jing.”
Tangyu curled his lip; Zhang Guoli was rather bold to put up one hundred million of his own money.
Despite potentially making Dali’s new project a success, it would still result in huge losses.
Such a massive loss yet Zhang Guoli was still willing to undertake it suggested some hidden agenda, which even a fool could guess.
Tangyu was convinced that Zhang Guoli was clearly using this opportunity to launder money.
If he could successfully secure the project, not only could he launder a substantial amount, but also gain significant credibility.
Zhou Xingjie was also mentioned by Sister Xinxin, with the offered amount by Dali Group being eighty million.
Securing Zhou Xingjie would mean breaking even or a slight loss at most.
Zhang Guoli was indeed audacious.
“Where is Zhang Guoli now?” Tangyu asked.
“He should be at the company,” Lu Xi replied.
A spark flashed in Tangyu’s eyes as he said, “Good, then take me to the company to find Zhang Guoli.
“Yes,” Lu Xi nodded, her expression not too dull, appearing quite calm.
An outsider would never think she was under deep hypnotism.
Half an hour later, Lu Xi led Tangyu to the Zhang Guoli Great Xia, a twelve-story building restructured from a smaller floor into an independent building, which was entirely occupied by Shengshi Media.
The building had a rather impressive look.
Considering the wide range of business sectors Shengshi Media was involved in, it was not surprising that the company had many employees, over a thousand, and owning an independent office building was not unusual.
After getting out of the car, Tangyu followed Lu Xi towards the building.
The security guards at the entrance, seeing Lu Xi, naturally did not dare to stop her, but their gaze fell curiously on Tangyu, halting him by saying, “Who are you?
Identify yourself before entering.”
Lu Xi turned around and glared at the two security guards, “This is my friend; do you dare to stop my friend too?
Do I need to call Brother Li to solve this?”
“Er, of course not.
Since it’s Sister Lu’s friend, there’s no problem.
We apologize for any offense, please come in,” the two security guards quickly placated, clearly aware of Lu Xi’s relationship with President Zhang, who would not dare to offend her.
