The next day, I reluctantly bid farewell to the hospital, much like a child leaving home. Why was I feeling so sentimental? Perhaps it was because I enjoyed seeing Linna in her nurse's uniform; her appearance was simply captivating.
My meeting with Qu Youyang was scheduled for that evening. After returning home and changing into a fresh outfit, I boarded a flight to Shanghai. The headquarters of Qing Gang was located in Shanghai, and naturally, Qu Youyang was there as well. Given her high status, it was only fitting that I visit her personally.
This operation was meant to be kept under wraps. As Fang Ying had put it, no one could know about it. Du Tao would handle things on his end, and my movements needed to be discreet. I traveled alone to Shanghai, with only Liu Sen accompanying me in the shadows for protection.
Qing Gang, like Hongmen, consisted of three major conglomerates. The group based in Shanghai was called Wanqing Group, which, similar to Hongmen's Hongyun Group, served as the original parent company of these two powerful organizations. My goal was to meet Qu Youyang at Wanqing Group.
That evening, I casually checked into a hotel. Over the past few days, I had been in touch with Zheng Yu regarding the progress on his side. After Molly negotiated a partnership with Qing Gang, their collaboration began to take shape. In recent days, Molly had sold three batches of goods to Tian Ye Group. Each time, representatives from Tian Ye Group personally went to the Yunnan border to collect the goods, but without exception, they were all caught by the police.
Zheng Yu was also doing well in Kyoto; Fang Ying took good care of him, and with Liu Haoran and Qian Cun Jin out of the picture, Zheng Yu had become quite influential there! However, even with his status in Kyoto, he couldn't uncover any useful information. Moreover, Tian Ye Group had the backing of the formidable Qing Gang; even if we eliminated Tian Ye Group's criminal elements, it would only be a temporary fix. To obtain more accurate information and foster further development, we needed to infiltrate Qing Gang from within.
Thus, both Zheng Yu and Linna were very supportive of my decision to approach Qing Gang.
After a night of silence, I set off for Wanqing Group the next day to meet the legendary leader. In my mind, I had conjured countless images of Qu Youyang—surely she must be an imposing figure? Perhaps she would be like Fang Ying: dressed in black with an intimidating presence.
However, when I finally laid eyes on her the next day, I was utterly taken aback!
"You must be Xiang Dong. Please take a seat," she said with a smile as I knocked and entered the office of the president of Wanqing Group. There sat a stunning woman in a black dress who looked almost ethereal.
Her appearance was strikingly innocent! She resembled the girl-next-door type. If she weren't seated in the boss's chair of Qing Gang Leader's office, I would have mistaken her for a secretary; after all, who else would dare sit there?
"Ah," I responded and took a seat across from Qu Youyang. Her face was exquisitely beautiful—this didn’t surprise me at all; historically speaking, emperors' offspring were rarely unattractive. Why? Because their fathers certainly wouldn’t engage with women who were less than appealing!
Each generation improved upon the last until they all became charming and attractive individuals. Even if Qu Youyang wasn't a princess herself, her father surely wouldn't have chosen an unattractive woman as a partner.
"I've heard about you from Fang Ying," I said. "She mentioned that you are quite a talented individual."
Qu Youyang smiled at me.
"Have you heard about me from Fang Ying?"
The highest leader of Tian Ye Group is Du Tao, and Fang Ying is merely a helmsman under Du Tao. So, Qu Youyang directly contacted Fang Ying?
"Thank you for your kind words, Qu Da. I owe it all to Fang Zhu Master and Du Lao Da's care," I replied with a smile. Qu Youyang nodded in acknowledgment and then asked, "What do you think of Du Tao?"
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
I was taken aback. The fact that Fang Ying had a direct line to Qu Youyang already felt off, and now Qu Youyang was asking me about Du Tao? What did that imply? Was she asking me to report back?
Qu Youyang chuckled, her charm undeniable. "I already know about your relationship with Du Tao. The money in Qu Gui's account was secretly deposited by Du Tao, right?"
What the hell! Qu Youyang actually knew about this? It had to be Fang Ying who reported it!
In an instant, I grasped the relationship between Qu Youyang, Fang Ying, and Du Tao. On the surface, it seemed like Fang Ying was on Du Tao's side; otherwise, Du Tao wouldn't trust her so much, letting her handle everything and know all the details. But in reality, was Fang Ying an undercover agent planted by Qu Youyang beside Du Tao? This situation was getting complicated.
"You don't need to be afraid. I know this matter isn't your doing. Even if Du Tao doesn't frame Qu Gui, Qu Gui is still the most suspicious one," Qu Youyang said calmly.
That's true. Even if Du Tao didn't set up Qu Gui, it certainly looked more like something Qu Gui would do. If Du Tao did frame Qu Gui, that couldn't be helped; it just meant he wanted to quickly wrap up this hot potato and distance himself from it.
"You are a smart person; you should understand how things are here now. Fang Ying is my person, while Du Tao is not. In Tian Ye Group, it's somewhat difficult for Fang Ying to stand against Du Tao alone; she needs your help," Qu Youyang said slowly.
Oh. So she still wanted me to return to Tian Ye Group instead of working at Qing Gang?
That could work, but if that was the case, why did Qu Youyang bring me here? Couldn't she just have Fang Ying discuss it with me? If Fang Ying approached me, would I have said no?
Perhaps Qu Youyang felt more at ease discussing it directly with me?
This was beneficial for me with no downsides; after all, Qu Youyang was the leader of Qing Gang—a strong ally! How could I not take advantage of her extending her support towards me?
I agreed to Qu Youyang's proposal. She seemed pleased and suggested I enjoy a few days in Shanghai while assigning a beautiful girl as my guide.
The girl introduced herself as Qu Youyi and mentioned she was not a sister but rather an adopted child of the Qu family.
I had to admit that being raised in a prestigious family like the Qu family had its perks; Qu Youyi exuded elegance and beauty—she had an impressive presence. I even sensed that she might be even more formidable than the Qu Youyang I had just met!
As I chatted with Qu Youyi, we left Wanqing Group and checked into a star-rated hotel under Wanqing Group's banner—of course, we each took separate rooms.
I understood that Qu Youyang didn’t send me back to Kyoto immediately but arranged for Qu Youyi to stay close by for a reason. Did she want Qu Youyi to get closer to me and keep tabs on me?
But thinking about it, perhaps it wouldn't be the case. In Qu Youyang's eyes, I might just be a minor character; the fact that she sought me out was already surprising enough. Why would she arrange for her sister to get close to me? I felt a bit shameless thinking this way.
However, things were not as I expected.
Xiang Lao Da, how about we drink a little to lighten the long night?
That night, Qu Youyi entered my room, holding a bottle of red wine and two tall glasses, stepping lightly like a cat.
Was this a sexual innuendo?
If just the wine wasn't enough of a hint, then take a look at what she was wearing!
My God, I could almost drool!
Qu Youyi was already incredibly beautiful, fitting that pure and innocent type, but tonight she was dressed quite provocatively!
She wore a black lace mini skirt with very little fabric; half of her ample bosom was exposed, and her long legs were completely on display, complemented by a pair of black high heels.
Damn it!
Was she trying to seduce me?
Why did the universe keep sending such temptations to my doorstep?
Just like Yue Qing back then, Qu Youyi was no different now.
But while Yue Qing was just an ordinary assassin who could sleep with anyone as long as Linna didn't find out, Qu Youyi was different. She was Qu Youyang's sister!
Something must be off here!
What right did Qu Youyang's sister have to sleep with me? With her looks, if she were desperate for affection, I wouldn't believe it; someone like her must have plenty of admirers.
There had to be something going on.
Ah.
Yet even if there was something behind this, I couldn't refuse. I picked up my glass and clinked it with Qu Youyi's. Even if I sensed a trap in this situation, I could only take it one step at a time.
She wouldn't try to assault me, would she?
I felt somewhat shameless thinking this way, but if she really did want to force herself on me, what would I do?
As I pondered this question while exchanging drinks with Qu Youyi, before I could come to any conclusion, a wave of dizziness washed over me from my brain.
Damn it!
She slipped something into my drink!
