As night fell, street lamps, shopping malls, and residential buildings all lit up, and people could feel the approach of winter. A black sedan slowly pulled up in front of the largest and most luxurious entertainment city in Haibin City. Behind it was another car with its doors open but no one stepping out.

From the front car, Hu Da got out first and opened the door for Hu Li, who was dressed casually in all black. He placed a hand on the doorframe to prevent Hu Li from hitting his head.

Passersby, including well-dressed white-collar men and women, couldn't help but glance at Hu Li's group several times, curious about their presence. Hu Li walked straight to the entertainment city and made his way to the VIP suite on the fifth floor.

Ke Shaozheng was already waiting there. With a big smile, he stood up to welcome Hu Li and said, "Cousin, I've covered all the expenses for today. Whatever services you want are available: full-body massages, top escorts, BDSM, live streaming, and even men prettier than women."

"You arrange it then." Since he was here, Hu Li wanted to give him some face, although he disliked such places oozing with obscenity.

Ke Shaozheng clapped his hands, and a tall, curvy waitress walked in. He arranged everything, from drinks and snacks to fresh, untouched women ready to serve.

Ke Shaozheng gazed lustfully at the waitress's voluptuous, perky buttocks and said to Hu Li, "I've chosen a good place, even the waitresses are tempting."

"You're too thirsty. What about your friend, why isn't she here?" Hu Li didn't want to hear Ke Shaozheng's lewd talk and changed the subject.

With a mysterious smile, Ke Shaozheng said, "She's probably on her way, preparing a little surprise for someone."

Listening to Ke Shaozheng's implication, it seemed like he really knew someone, but who would come to such a place, still thinking about bringing a little surprise?

In less than a minute, several waitresses in provocative attire brought various drinks, fruit platters, and other items. Their figures were no less stunning than the previous waitress, but Ke Shaozheng couldn't get her out of his mind. Her seductive demeanor combined with an air of chastity completely captivated Ke Shaozheng, igniting his desire to conquer.

After a while, four or five girls with different styles entered, some pure and innocent like wildflowers, others scholarly like bookworms. Some were seductive and bold, already sitting on Ke Shaozheng's thighs. Another one wanted to sit on Hu Li's lap but was deterred by his cold gaze, so she sat next to him instead, though her eyes remained fixed on Hu Li. It was as if her gaze could penetrate through him, confirming him as a wealthy target.

A slender, innocent-looking girl, seemingly only seventeen or eighteen years old, obediently sat on Hu Li's other side, pouring him drinks. The other girls either clung to Ke Shaozheng or constantly sent flirtatious signals to Hu Li.

Hu Li quietly drank his wine and listened to the music, treating the beautiful women around him as if they were air. "If you're not satisfied with these few, I'll have them replaced for you. How about you choose yourself?" Ke Shaozheng said, about to call the waitress.

"No need." Hu Li immediately vetoed it, and Ke Shaozheng gave him a look that said, "You're just pretending," as his hand slipped into the clothes of the girls beside him.

The seductive woman who had been sitting on Ke Shaozheng's lap giggled coquettishly, twisting her slender waist, while secretly warning the three girls sitting next to Hu Li with her eyes. These girls seemed especially afraid of her and, under her intimidation, began to deliberately touch Hu Li's body with softness and intention.

Whether they were coerced into such licentious behavior or naturally inclined, Hu Li found them annoying. The wine glass he had just held shattered on the ground with a loud bang, startling the women.

Ke Shaozheng dismissed the people around him and said, "Cousin, are you not satisfied with my arrangements?"

"You know I don't like being touched by women."

Hu Li wasn't angry and had no intention of leaving. Ke Shaozheng smiled happily and said, "Ah, what a great pleasure in life, and you're shutting the door on it."

"What pleasure? You're so regretful." A woman's voice, somewhat masculine and bold, rang out, and the proprietor Cai Cai walked in with a three-tiered box of snacks.

Ke Shaozheng laughed and said, "Cousin just asked about you, didn't expect you to arrive so soon. These are the snacks you made yourself. Cai Cai, you're so biased, with such great cooking skills reserved for one person." He chuckled as he looked at Cai Cai and Hu Li, overlapping the two in his eyes.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Cai Cai sat down next to Hu Li and asked, "Where's Hu Er?"

"Hu Er had something to do and didn't come." Hu Li glanced at Cai Cai. Ke Shaozheng thought they were in sync, discussing Hu Er, but only Cai Cai knew that Hu Li's sudden interjection and that glance were both protecting another woman. She didn't want that woman to be exposed prematurely in front of others.

Cai Cai thought that if she spread this news, she might not need the package in her bag anymore.

"Oh, I knew the shadow wasn't coming." Cai Cai disguised her sadness, struggling, and smiled to defuse the situation. "The snacks are a light taste that you guys like, give it a try."

Hu Li didn't hesitate to take the snack from Cai Cai's hand. Taking a bite, he noticed Cai Cai looking at him expectantly, so he nodded. It was just a small acknowledgment, but it made Cai Cai forget her worries and feel happy again.

Ke Shaozheng, on the side, playfully exclaimed, "Hey hey, don't be so lovey-dovey, it's driving me, the lonely soul, crazy." In an instant, a white object flew from Cai Cai's hand towards him. He quickly dodged, only to realize it was a piece of snack. Ke Shaozheng winced in pain.

"What did you want to see me for today?" After Hu Li finished the snack, Cai Cai kindly offered him a napkin and some water, like a virtuous wife.

"Just as smart as always, cousin. I want you to help me gather information on who has made the biggest contributions to anti-drug efforts in the mainland this year."

"Why, are you planning to confront the mainland government?" Hu Li asked.

"Just curious, cousin. You didn't help me last time, so can you help this time? You know I'm in a pitiful state now," Ke Shaozheng said with a pitiful expression, amusing Cai Cai.

"With your aunt calling me every few days, I can hardly refuse. But if you have any news from your side, let me know immediately. Mutual exchange of information will help us find what you're looking for faster."

Cai Cai heard Hu Li's words and had a gut feeling that Hu Li's intention wasn't just to help Ke Shaozheng, but she couldn't figure out the specifics.

Ke Shaozheng wasn't as perceptive as Cai Cai; he only knew that his call to his aunt two days ago had worked. "I'll inform you as soon as I have any news. With our combined efforts, we'll surely succeed. Come, I'm in a good mood today, let me drink three cups on my own." Ke Shaozheng didn't hesitate to down all three glasses of wine.

With Cai Cai by his side, Hu Li felt even lonelier after Ke Shaozheng drank. He called the bald man over and muttered a few words to him. Soon after, the waitress who had come in first opened the door and entered.

As soon as she sat down next to Ke Shaozheng, he pounced on her with a passionate kiss. Even her tofu-like body didn't escape his attention. Then Ke Shaozheng pulled the waitress to a dark corner where the light couldn't reach, and they indulged in intimate activities.

Cai Cai saw it, but she was used to it and didn't feel any pleasure or sorrow. She continued chatting with Hu Li.

"You should know that he's about to be in deep trouble, yet you're still treading this dangerous path?" Cai Cai pointed towards Ke Shaozheng, looking at Hu Li with concern and seriousness.

To Cai Cai, Hu Li was more like a childhood playmate in life. There was trust, care, and fondness, but no love. If it weren't for Hu Li's appearance, she might have been married off to him as part of a marriage alliance between the two families.

Like other major families, they would enter the marriage hall without any affection, holding hands without any feelings, all for the sake of inheritance, all for business interests, all for the long-term development of the family.

But someone genuinely caring about Hu Li made her very happy. She replied with a gentle smile, "It's okay, I'll be careful."

"How are you two?" Suddenly, Cai Cai asked. Her hand in her bag touched the item inside, still hesitating to make the final decision.

This item was personally purchased by her brother. When mixed with wine, it would be a particularly effective aphrodisiac. Even a celibate monk who touched it would be consumed by desire.

Her brother told her that as long as she could have physical contact with Hu Li, given Hu Li's affection for her, he would definitely take responsibility. If they received extra blessings from heaven and had a baby, then becoming Hu Li's wife would be a natural progression. Otherwise, Hu Li would truly never belong to her.

"Sis, I'm a man. Do you understand what Hu Li's gaze at that woman means?" "What does it mean?"

"Undying love!" Cai Cai's brother said with unusual certainty.

Cai Cai couldn't help but laugh, "Do men still have undying love nowadays? I won't believe it even if you beat me to death. Even for Hu Li, I don't believe he can resist temptation. If a man doesn't cheat, can he still be called a man?"

"Sis, everyone is different. Trust me, you must get Hu Li before that woman, or you'll regret it... Take this item, pour it into Hu Li's wine when no one is looking, and he will take care of the rest."

"I can't do this..." Cai Cai shook her head vigorously.

"Sis, can you live without him?" Cai Cai shook her head.

"That's it. You love him so deeply, you've sacrificed so much. Why not make one more effort? Just a small step, and you'll reap a great harvest. And he'll never know it was you."

"I've already found a scapegoat, very reliable. This matter is known only to us, heaven and earth," If it weren't for Hu Li's strong vigilance against strangers, he wouldn't have let Cai Cai do it herself.

His words struck deep in Cai Cai's heart. She began to waver, and finally, with that item in hand, she came here.

What should she do? Should she do this? Thinking of the way Hu Li looked at Hua Yan that day, she felt jealous to the point of madness. If she didn't resort to such despicable means, she had no confidence in winning Hu Li over. Her hand trembled as she reached into her bag.

Hu Li sensed that Cai Cai was acting strangely now, and she had been staring at his wine glass absentmindedly. "Cai Cai, what's wrong? If you're not feeling well, I'll take you home." Tonight's events had already achieved the desired effect for him, so he didn't need to stay here anymore, nor did he have any interest in watching live pornographic scenes.

"It's... it's nothing." Cai Cai hurriedly spoke, making Hu Li mistakenly think she was embarrassed by the lewd sounds coming from Ke Shaozheng and the waitress.

At this moment, Hu Li's concern in her eyes made Cai Cai even more eager for eternal possession. The obsessive love made her finally decide, "Hu Li, accompany me to the bar downstairs for a drink and listen to some music?"

"Sure." After accepting Ke Shaozheng's search for those who were plotting against them and knowing that Hua Yan's life was in
