Chapter 300

Taking a sip of the ice jelly he took out from the fridge,

Xu Hao fell into deep thought.

This anime cosplay outfit was bought by Xiao Wanling.

She must have been inspired by Xu Feiyan this morning.

It seemed that competition truly drove progress, no matter the occasion.

How long had it been since Su Wanqiu tried any new tricks?

And now, Xiao Wanling had only joined for a single day,

and yet she was already changing into new outfits.

Shaking his head, he decided to let them do whatever they wanted. After all, he was the one who benefited.

All he had to do was enjoy it.

[Ding… Su Wanqiu is highly intrigued. Emotion Points +666…]

[Ding… Xiao Wanling is unbearably embarrassed. Emotion Points +999…]

Li Xiao was feeling incredibly miserable.

Xu Hao had ordered him to instigate the minor villain, Chu Xiaotian, to drug the icy female lead, Lin Chuqing.

Li Xiao had originally wanted to delay it for a few days.

He wanted to find Lin Chuqing first and tell her how to break the Chu family's blockade,

leaving a good impression on her.

Then, he would see if he could find a way to stop Xu Hao.

But when he went to Lin Chuqing's company to look for her, he couldn't even get a meeting.

He was even almost beaten up by the protagonist, Zheng Feifan…

The Assassin following him in secret reported this news to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao saw right through his intentions.

And so—

he sent another message to Li Xiao, threatening him to get the job done within these two days.

One must never underestimate the protagonist; they could turn the tables in the blink of an eye.

He had to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Dejected and lost, Li Xiao arrived at a nightclub.

Chu Xiaotian was currently partying, with his arms wrapped around two bar girls.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Feeling down? Come over and have some fun with us…"

Noticing Li Xiao's dejected look, he called out generously.

He even planned to call over a hostess for Li Xiao.

Li Xiao couldn't bear to watch this.

He dragged Chu Xiaotian outside.

"Brother Tian, how can you degenerate like this? What's the point of hanging around with these cheap women all day?"

"Aren't you trying to pursue that icy beauty?"

Li Xiao said, exasperated by his lack of ambition.

It wasn't that he wanted to guide this useless spendthrift back to the right path out of the goodness of his heart.

He had absolutely no relationship with the Chu father and son.

Even if they died, it would be none of his business…

Everything he did was solely to complete the task Xu Hao had given him.

At the mention of Lin Chuqing, Chu Xiaotian's face stiffened.

How could he forget his "white moonlight"?

She was the woman he had sworn to obtain.

Even if he couldn't have her heart, he would have her body.

He had even threatened her.

If she didn't become his girlfriend, he would bankrupt her.

But Lin Chuqing was highly unyielding.

No matter how much he suppressed her company, she wouldn't back down even an inch.

Chu Xiaotian had been furious.

He had planned to go all the way and just kidnap her…

But just as he was about to take action,

the news leaked somehow, and his father found out.

His father had sternly warned him not to act recklessly.

This happened right around the time Chu Xiong learned that Zheng Feifan had brought down Zhaos Media in the Imperial Capital.

It would be troublesome if they angered that guy.

To deal with Lin Chuqing, they first had to get rid of this Hidden Jin master.

He was already trying to find a way.

He couldn't let his son act recklessly and ruin his plans.

Chu Xiaotian grabbed a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.

He spoke dejectedly.

"Brother Li, I want to get Lin Chuqing too, but that woman is completely immune to both soft and hard tactics."

"I have a way…"

Li Xiao said, his eyes flickering.

Chu Xiaotian's Spirit was reinvigorated.

He looked at Li Xiao with an urgent expression.

"Brother Li, what did you say? You have a way for me to get Lin Chuqing?"

The excitement in his voice was impossible to hide.

How could he have forgotten this think tank of his?

Li Xiao had helped bring his company back to life and was highly sophisticated in dealing with people…

If he said there was a way,

then there must be a way.

Li Xiao nodded, suppressing the pain in his heart.

He took out the bottle of medicine Xu Hao had given him.

"As long as you ask Lin Chuqing out, Brother Tian, and put this in her tea…"

Before Li Xiao could finish, Chu Xiaotian understood.

He couldn't help but be startled.

Li Xiao was suggesting he drug Lin Chuqing.

Just imagining the possibility…

Lin Chuqing drinking the drugged tea,

wouldn't she be entirely at his mercy?

The high-and-mighty CEO, the goddess in the eyes of countless people, would fall into his hands.

Just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.

But then…

thinking of his father's warning felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over him,

chilling him to the bone.

Chu Xiaotian let out a helpless, bitter laugh.

"Brother Li, I know what you mean, but my dad told me not to provoke Lin Chuqing and that Zheng Feifan for the time being."

Li Xiao explained patiently,

"How could this count as provoking her? Brother Tian, you're just inviting her for tea."

"Based on my observations, Lin Chuqing is a traditional woman who values her chastity highly."
