The woman in the photo was striking a seductive pose, gracefully propping her head while lying sideways on the bed. Her two long, pale legs intertwined like water snakes.

A head of wavy blonde hair, eyes as blue as sapphires, sparkling, with noble white skin exposed to the air, like a goddess sculpture carved from white jade. The collar buttons were deliberately unfastened three notches, making the allure within teasingly elusive.

"Damn! That vixen is trying to seduce me again," Lin Fan cursed inwardly, but a playful smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't it sexy? Feeling a bit hot and bothered? Too bad you're not in front of me, otherwise I could help you relieve that tension," the Empress teased through a message.

"Nasty woman, wait until next time we meet, let's see how I'll punish you." Lin Fan laughed and cursed.

"Haha! Say that again after you've managed to unfasten the 81 buttons on me," the Empress replied with a smug smiley face.

Instantly, Lin Fan was dejected!

Lin Fan really didn't know where exactly the Empress was from. She only told him that she came from a mysterious tribe. When her family was wiped out, she was betrayed and made to wear a malicious gauze outfit with 81 buttons.

To remove the gauze, all the buttons had to be undone. Otherwise, every two buttons were connected by a line; even if the buttons were undone, the line would still prevent the removal of the garment.

The most vicious part was, if a button was undone incorrectly, the ones below would become increasingly tight, potentially even strangling a person. Lin Fan had once spent three days and managed to feel his way to unfasten only 20 buttons!

"Empress, I've got a serious matter to discuss with you." Lin Fan's expression turned solemn.

"Go ahead, what is it?"

"Help me investigate the financial power, the backing strength, and staffing of the Zheng Group in East Sea City, Huaxia."

"Huaxia? Are you in Huaxia?"

"Yes! I'm on a secret mission in Huaxia, Empress, you must not let this news get out!"

"Alright, although I have no idea what you've been up to disappearing for over a year, I'm always on your side! But what exactly is the Zheng Group? Some global conglomerate? At least must be a top 100 fortune in the world, otherwise why would the noble Tyrant consider it so significant?"

"Alright, don't ask anymore, I'll tell you when the time is right. Just help me investigate."

"OK! Knowing you're alive is enough for me, I'll give you the results by tonight."

Right after, the Empress's avatar turned gray!

Lin Fan exhaled a long breath, a cold glint in his eyes. Once the Empress passed on the information, it would be time for him to take action against the Zheng Group!

"Well, Lin Fan, daring to slack off during work hours!"

Just then, a bewitching voice came from behind Lin Fan!

Lin Fan turned around to see Nalan Suqin standing behind him.

Lin Fan joked, "Oh my! Manager Nalan, it's only been a day, yet you look even more beautiful. Our group should have a beauty ranking; if you claim second, who dares to be first?"

Nalan Suqin rolled her eyes playfully, pointing upwards, and smiled, "The one up there dares to claim first."

"Uh..."

Lin Fan was slightly embarrassed, knowing that Nalan Suqin was referring to Su Yanyu.

Although Nalan Suqin's beauty was not inferior to Su Yanyu's, their personalities were entirely opposite—one cold, the other seductively fiery. Moreover, Su Yanyu was Nalan Suqin's superior, overshadowing her somewhat.

Nalan Suqin's lips curled with satisfaction; every time she saw Lin Fan flustered, it gave her an indescribable thrill of delight.

"Got some time?" Nalan Suqin inquired.

"An invitation from a beauty, of course there's time," Lin Fan replied with a smile.

"Come on, accompany me out," Nalan Suqin smiled.

"Where to?" Lin Fan curiously asked.

"Big sister is taking you to an exciting place, hurry, sis is in a rush," Nalan Suqin winkingly said with an air of ambiguity, and turned to walk out.

Lin Fan followed with a mixture of curiosity and doubt.

Once downstairs, Nalan Suqin fired up her BMW Series 3 and drove off leisurely.

Lin Fan sat in the car without a care in the world, inhaling the fragrance emanating from Nalan Suqin, closing his eyes for a brief nap, feeling life was truly wonderful!

Half an hour passed.

"Lazy pig, time to wake up!" Nalan Suqin's alluring laughter rang out.

"We're here?" Lin Fan lazily opened his eyes, curiously looking ahead, only to find that Nalan Suqin had brought him to a hotel named "Celestial Pavilion"!

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, bewildered, "I say, Manager Nalan, why bring me to a hotel, don't say you're planning to seduce me?"

Nalan Suqin rolled her eyes exasperatedly, "You wish, sis is here to treat you to a drink."

"Drinking? Damn! That's even more insidious than seduction. I'm warning you, don't think of getting me drunk to seduce me. Even if you gain my body, you won't get my soul!" Lin Fan staunchly declared.

Nalan Suqin's face darkened instantly, wishing she could kick Lin Fan out. What's with the wild notions in his head!

Nalan Suqin patiently explained, "Not long ago, a subsidiary of the Zheng Group purchased a batch of equipment from our group. Today, I'm here to sign the contract. Since they chose a hotel for the meeting, drinking is inevitable, so sis had to call you to accompany me."

"Don't tell me I'm here to help drink?" Lin Fan said awkwardly.

Nalan Suqin snapped her fingers, praising, "As expected of my little brother, you're indeed smart."

Lin Fan was filled with gloom, what sort of task is this? Look carefully at my face—is it handsome? Is it dashing like a tree? Have you ever seen such a handsome guy accompany for drinks?

"My dear little brother can't hold his liquor, can he? Don't worry, sis wouldn't let them get you drunk. If you do get drunk, sis will take you to my place; my house bed is big!" Nalan Suqin said ambiguously.

"I'm worried you'll lose control after drinking!" Lin Fan said awkwardly.

Nalan Suqin paused momentarily, then laughed sweetly, "Doesn't it give you an opportunity? How about it, little brother? Dare to let sis have a good time once?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Fan really wanted to shout, Sun Wukong, where are you exactly? Come subdue this demon!

In response to this issue, Lin Fan chose silence. Although Nalan Suqin seemed wanton, with Lin Fan's well-versed eye, he could tell it was just a facade; deep down, she was a very delicate woman!

Seeing Lin Fan's silence, Nalan Suqin smiled silently and said, "Alright, stop teasing you, get out of the car."

Subsequently, the two got out of the car and entered the hotel. Nalan Suqin asked the front desk for the room number of the meeting person, then followed the waiter to the third floor.

Knock knock knock~

The waiter knocked on the door, and immediately a strong voice inside commanded, "Come in!"

Nalan Suqin pushed the door open. Inside the luxurious private room sat five burly men. Contrary to Lin Fan's expectations, they weren't dressed like businessmen but rather like thugs.

The man in the center sported a big gold chain, the open collar revealing a menacing dragon head tattoo. His face was a mass of flabby flesh, looking like a meat bun, wearing an arrogant and cold sneer.
