"Phew"——

The moment these words were spoken, Ouyang Xiaoya almost passed out.

Am I, am I really that despicable?

"Hey, I'm talking to you, dopey. Competing with those wearing tiger skins out there, aren't you afraid of suffering?"

After that, the other person took another careful look at Ouyang Xiaoya, with a puzzled face and murmured to herself, wondering,

"That's not right. To be this pretty, strange."

After a pause, as if the other person had thought of something, she slapped her forehead and said:

"Got it, did the police recently sweep through the bath centers and nightclubs?"

Ouyang Xiaoya was taken aback again, her face soon filled with anger.

"I'm the dignified Iceberg CEO of Huadu, and yet, and yet I was mistaken for a masseuse, it's outrageous."

And this little gangster girl looked at me with a bit of contempt, and a trace of superiority, as if saying I'm just someone from the streets, looking down on those who sell their body and soul, like a fallen worker.

The dignified Iceberg CEO, encountering such an embarrassing situation for the first time.

"I... am not what you think."

Ouyang Xiaoya felt that this girl wasn't bad, so she explained.

The other person waved her hand indifferently and said coolly, "I know, people like you all have your hardships, like a sick father, a brother needing to go to school, and dropping out of school early and such. This kind of sob story is overused."

Looking at the other's face, which seemed "seen it all," Ouyang Xiaoya felt a profound inability to explain.

It seems she had pegged me as a fallen woman.

Soon, Ouyang Xiaoya took a deep breath, calming the depression in her chest, and the panic in her beautiful eyes completely faded, replaced by calmness and intelligence.

She composedly replied: "I've been wronged, and it's not as simple as you think. I am not some fallen woman."

The little gangster girl was stunned for a moment, having an illusion that the once flustered, extremely beautiful woman--making her, another woman, unavoidably envious and jealous--now seemed like a high-ranking person, composed, calm, and with an inherent ice-cold demeanor.

"We can talk," Ouyang Xiaoya slowly began, her tone flat, as if at this moment she wasn't trapped in a mess, but sitting at home.

"Talk? About what? What do you want?" The little gangster girl was startled, a bit confused.

"I think you don't know my real identity yet. We could start by getting to know each other, what do you think?"

Ouyang Xiaoya was calm, there had been a bit of panic initially, but after recovering, her calmness and intelligence immediately perceived something unusual about the whole affair, and that there was a trick to it.

Without waiting for the little gangster girl to speak, Ouyang Xiaoya continued with a calm tone: "Looking at your blanket, it's new, and from your gaze, I can tell you are not too familiar with this room's environment, so you must have been temporarily moved here before I came in."

"I guess that person must have told you to do something bad against me, right?"

After saying that, the Iceberg CEO wrapped her arms around Qianqian's jade-like arms, her eyes cold as if they had the ability to see through the human heart, causing a hint of panic to flash across the little gangster girl's face.

Seeing the reaction of the little gangster girl, Ouyang Xiaoya became even more certain that her previous analysis was correct.

"You... I... how do you know..." The little gangster girl stuttered a bit. A girl of her level at best knew about fighting and brawling, major troubles she avoided, but minor mistakes were frequent. Longing for vanity, she thought gang leaders were imposing and admired individual heroism. However, her perspective was actually quite narrow, so when faced with someone much stronger than her, it would take just a few words to unsettle her.

"You probably don't know who I am, do you?" Ouyang Xiaoya spoke again. This statement not only set the stage for what was to come but also created a sense of mystery. Regardless of who or what, there is always an unknown awe towards the mysterious.

"With my personal abilities, in Huadu City, even those high and mighty bosses you see as important on a regular day have to speak to me with respect. Have you heard of Yu Tianlin, Li Taixui, and Bald Scar?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked again.

The little gangster girl was stunned when she heard these names. These names were well-known to her. The small-time hooligans always spoke of these people with utmost reverence and admiration on their faces.

But these names, in front of this impossibly beautiful lady with a distinguished aura, seemed to be mentioned in just a casual, indifferent tone.

"When Yu Tianlin sees me, he would definitely greet me politely as 'sister.'"

The little gangster girl's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it.

"If Bald Scar saw me, I'm afraid he couldn't help but kneel down."

"As for Li Taixui, although he covers a whole street, he doesn't have the qualifications to talk to me unless his master comes. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I will give him some face."

After speaking, Ouyang Xiaoya sat in the prime spot on the bunk, and her status seemed to rise invisibly.

The little gangster girl was completely dumbfounded but still couldn't bring herself to believe it.

"You must be wondering, if my status is so high, why would I still be wronged and put in here, right?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked again, as if she could see through the little gangster girl's inner thoughts.

The little gangster girl nodded subconsciously, that was indeed her thought.

"It's simple. The upper echelons of Huadu are not as harmonious as you imagine. Although I am of high status, it does not mean I can do anything I want. In every field in Huadu, there are top players, and inevitably there will be clandestine power struggles. I was just calculated against by villains."

"Given my status, they don't dare to do anything to me, at most they are biding their time. We people at this level won't really tear our faces and go to extremes unless it's necessary."

"So, you'd better abandon any other ideas you might have towards me. Right now you can do whatever you want to me. I'm quite stubborn and will never bow my head, but once out of this cell, in the outside society, making someone, including their family, disappear within a day, although I don't agree with it, doesn't mean I can't do it."

Having said that, Ouyang Xiaoya fell silent.

The little gangster girl hesitated, extremely hesitant. She dared not make any rash moves, as the great beauty in front of her indeed had an aura of someone important.

"If you are willing to help me, within my personal capabilities, I will fulfill some of your petty wishes. For example, I can make those bosses treat you as an equal from now on, or find you a mid-level management position at the Youming Ya Group where you can get paid without having to work on a daily basis, and with the official employment, you can apply for loans to buy a house, a car, and live a normal white-collar life in the city, unlike now, not widely accepted by society. Think about it yourself."

The Iceberg CEO first used the stick and the bomb to shock the little gangster girl, then threw out this huge sweetener... uh, candy as a lure. This technique came quite naturally to her, as it was how she normally managed her employees.

The little gangster girl was tempted, hesitating even more, and after a long time stuttering, she finally said, "That... what can I do?"

"I think you won't be locked up for many days before they let you out. Since they calculated against me, they certainly wouldn't use old convicts to deal with me, because the old convicts are shrewd and wouldn't make trouble for themselves. You, however, have been used as a pawn, to be discarded after you're no longer useful, they might even kill you to silence you." Ouyang Xiaoya spoke again, and these words were not random bluffs but had real evidence behind them.

The little gangster girl looked at Ouyang Xiaoya for help, realizing for the first time that the complexity of the situation was far beyond her imagination.
