"Want to talk about how you've been feeling as CEO lately?" Xiao Feng sat down next to her without asking, and the little girl followed suit and sat down too.

Du Linlang didn't seem to mind the little girl eavesdropping and chuckled lightly, "It's not as good as I imagined, and Lanyue Group is just like this—if we keep running it this way, being the biggest in Jiangcheng is as far as we'll go."

"Oh." Xiao Feng responded in an indifferent tone, clearly uninterested in the topic.

Du Linlang continued, "The biggest problem is internal. When Du Qingyue was in charge, they agreed to let me step up. But after Du Qingyue left, they actually started supporting Du Qingyue again."

"Pfft!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of family are you all from, seriously? No matter who takes the stage, it's never okay, is it?"

"I also tried bold and sweeping reforms, replacing some of the higher-ups who were more of a hindrance than a help." Du Linlang laughed at herself, "The result was that the old guard started banding together and targeting me instead."

Xiao Feng shrugged, "Whatever, let them do as they please. Whether the Lanyue Group or the Du Family prospers or falls, it doesn't affect me much."

"You're not even going to help me think of a solution?" Du Linlang charmingly smiled and deliberately moved closer to Xiao Feng, as if she would sit on his lap if he didn't move away.

Xiao Feng remained unperturbed; with the little girl by his side, no woman could take advantage of him.

Sure enough, just as Du Linlang was about to sit down, the little girl jumped up and pulled Xiao Feng into her previous seat. They switched positions, with the little girl now sitting in the middle, flanked by Xiao Feng and Du Linlang.

Du Linlang frowned slightly, looking at the little girl, "And who are you?"

"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that as a woman, the most valuable quality is self-respect." The little girl replied with a hint of annoyance, "Exchanging one's charms for a measly gain is just despicable."

"Really?" Du Linlang laughed instead of getting angry, "And how do you know I'm not genuinely in love with him?"

The little girl snorted, crossing her arms, "I bet money is your true love."

"You're absolutely right." Du Linlang smiled knowingly, "I truly love money. So even if I sell my charms, it's for money, for true love. Got a problem with that?"

"..." The little girl was at a loss for words, inwardly sighing that someone so shameless was invincible.

After catching the little girl off guard, Du Linlang didn't press the issue. She turned to Xiao Feng and changed the subject, "I need your help."

"Sorry, can't help you there!" Xiao Feng declined outright.

"I don't need you to say or do anything—just keep quiet." Du Linlang took a deep breath, "You can name your conditions, as long as they are within my capabilities."

Xiao Feng laughed, shaking his head with amusement, "What do you think you have that I lack, yet desperately need? I'm not short on money, and while you're quite charming, I'm really not that interested."

The little girl seized the opportunity and chimed in, "So just give up on that idea!"

"Actually, I do have a condition that might interest you more than 90% of the time after you hear it." Du Linlang smiled sweetly and glanced at the little girl.

The little girl got anxious immediately, "Brother Xiao Feng, don't listen to her manipulation. Don't agree to any condition she proposes."

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and quickly concluded that with Du Linlang's personality, she wouldn't make a statement like "more than 90% of the time it'll interest you" without having a card up her sleeve.

Seeing the little girl's worried look, Xiao Feng didn't have the heart to send her away, so he said, "Just say what you want to say."

"Are you sure?" Du Linlang chuckled, "What I'm going to talk about next is related to the Devil..."

At this point, Du Linlang stopped making sounds, but her lips clearly mouthed three words, "Concentration Camp."

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng frowned tightly.

The existence of the Devil's Concentration Camp wasn't exactly a secret; many international organizations knew about such a special group.

So the fact that Du Linlang knew these three words wasn't surprising, but the key issue was, since Du Linlang dared to use this as a bargaining chip, she obviously knew more than just the name Devil's Concentration Camp.

"Wait for me on the side," Xiao Feng suggested to the little girl. Some things were better for her not to know too soon.

"Brother Xiao Feng, you... Hmph!" The little girl stomped her foot in frustration but obediently went to the side.

After the little girl left, Xiao Feng's face turned serious, "Tell me what you know. If you say something I don't know or find useful, I might agree to help you."

"Actually, I don't know much about this organization; what I've heard is mostly rumors and unlikely to be accurate." Du Linlang changed the subject, "However, I should be able to know more about it soon."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Feng asked calmly, but a bold idea formed in his mind. Could it be...

"With your wit, you've probably guessed part of the truth." Du Linlang spoke frankly, "That's right, I've joined the Devil's Concentration Camp."

Xiao Feng silently confirmed it, yet he saw no need to ask questions like "Do you know the consequences?"

Du Linlang wasn't foolish; on the contrary, she's much smarter than most people. Since she chose to join the Devil's Concentration Camp, she must have her calculations. There's no need for Xiao Feng to worry unnecessarily.

After a moment, Du Linlang sighed, seemingly a bit disappointed, though it was unclear what she was disappointed about.

After sighing, Du Linlang said, "Just two nights ago, a number called my phone, saying that if I could get close to you and gain your trust, they would offer me a sum of money—at least in the hundreds of millions, and in USD."

"And you agreed?" Xiao Feng asked.

"I didn't have a reason not to agree." Du Linlang tucked her stray hair behind her ear, "Besides, since they reached out to me, they must have a way to make me agree anyway. Rather than dragging it out, I might as well agree and avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Since you can't resist, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." Xiao Feng nodded, speaking sincerely, "You're indeed very smart!"

"..." Du Linlang's face darkened. Although the tone and expression were right, could you please change the content, for goodness' sake?
