Young Master Liu, Enjoy Yourself

"Young Master Liu, I'm sorry, but my sister won't let me go. I can't beat her."

Xu Mu smiled and waved his hand. "We'll get together another time."

With that, he shut the door right then and there.

Xu Mu turned around with a smile. "Your words were a bit unnecessary. Did you think I was stupid enough to follow him out?"

"Hmph! Who knows?"

Xu Ningbing sat back down on the bed.

"Cui Yunshen definitely sent him. Everyone out there thinks I'm just a brainless rich kid, so they tried to use this trick."

Xu Mu shrugged. "If I had followed him, there would be plenty of traps waiting for me."

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing gave Xu Mu a deep look.

Perhaps this was the real reason Xu Mu pretended to be a brainless second-generation heir—to make outsiders think he had no brains so they would lower their guard around him.

[Favorability +10]

This bratty little brother of hers had acted so well before that he even managed to fool her.

Xu Mu was now lying on his own bed. He expanded his perception, and a range of four hundred meters was more than enough to cover the entire hotel.

Using his perception to follow Liu Lei, he found that Liu had taken the elevator to a private room on one of the upper floors of the hotel.

And Cui Yunshen was sitting right there.

"Young Master Cui, I'm sorry, I couldn't get Xu Mu to come out. He seems to be really afraid of his sister."

Liu Lei lowered his head and took out his phone. He had recorded the entire interaction just now.

Cui Yunshen sat on the sofa, listening to the recording before letting out a laugh. "This Xu Ningbing is quite interesting. I like her temper."

"Young Master Cui, why go through so much trouble? Just let me make a move and be done with it."

Behind Cui Yunshen stood a middle-aged man with a full beard.

"It's best if we can resolve this using legal methods."

Cui Yunshen took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket. "I originally planned to use Spring Night Grass powder to make a fool out of Xu Mu, but I didn't expect his sister to stop him."

"Young Master Cui, then why not skip using this drug on Xu Mu, and instead find a way to use it on Xu Ningbing?"

Liu Lei said with a sly smile.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to make Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing commit a taboo, and then make it public to ruin their group's reputation?"

Cui Yunshen shook his head slightly. "No! Xu Ningbing is the woman I have my eyes on. How could I let anyone else lay a finger on her?"

"Young Master Cui, you misunderstand me. What I mean is, give it to Xu Ningbing, and then ensure that only you are present."

Liu Lei wore a vulgar smile. "They say time breeds affection. I believe Young Master Cui can definitely put in the time."

"You're quite the talent, kid."

Cui Yunshen grinned. "Hurry up and tell me, what brilliant idea do you have? Once it's done, you'll definitely be rewarded."

...

Xu Mu took a deep breath. This Liu Lei really wasn't human. Back in Jiangbei, Xu Mu had treated him several times, spending hundreds of thousands in total.

Yet, just to kiss ass, he was throwing Xu Mu under the bus without any hesitation.

It seemed it was time to do something about it.

With that thought, Xu Mu got up and put his clothes on.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Ningbing, who was looking at her phone on the other side of the room, asked curiously.

"My instincts have always been accurate, and just now, I had an ominous premonition."

Xu Mu said with a calm expression.

Hearing this, Xu Ningbing also put her clothes on. "What are you going to do? I'll go with you."

"No need. Someone will come looking for us on their own."

Xu Mu already knew their plan, and this time, he had to teach them a lesson.

Not long after, there was indeed a knock on their door.

Xu Ningbing frowned slightly, walked over, and opened the door. Standing outside was Qian Shan.

"Mr. Qian, if you're still here for that boring matter, please leave."

Xu Ningbing said with a cold expression upon seeing him.

"It has nothing to do with Cui Yunshen. Sigh, I was forced into it too."

Qian Shan sighed helplessly. "Miss Xu, I've booked a private room. I will explain everything to you clearly."

Xu Ningbing glanced at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Since Mr. Qian has his difficulties, let's go make a trip."

Only then did Xu Ningbing nod.

Led by Qian Shan, Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing headed down to a private dining room in the restaurant downstairs.

Food was already laid out here, along with an unopened bottle of red wine.

"Sit."

Qian Shan said to Xu Ningbing and Xu Mu.

He sat down first and opened the red wine beside him.

Xu Ningbing stared at the bottle of wine, her expression indifferent.

"Cui Yunshen is a young master from a hidden family. I can't afford to offend him, so I could only follow his demands. I hope Miss Xu won't blame me."

As Qian Shan spoke, he poured red wine into the glasses in front of Xu Ningbing and Xu Mu, and then poured a glass for himself.

"Come, let's drink and chat."

Qian Shan raised his wine glass.

But Xu Ningbing didn't pick hers up. Just as she was about to speak, her phone vibrated.

She then noticed it was a message from Xu Mu. It contained only one sentence: "The wine isn't poisoned, but the food is."

Xu Ningbing furrowed her slender brows and replied with a question mark.

The meaning was obvious; she wanted to know how Xu Mu was so sure.

Xu Mu smiled and quickly typed back, "I smelled it. I know a thing or two about drugs."

"What's wrong? Is Miss Xu afraid I poisoned the wine? It's a society ruled by law now; I wouldn't dare do such a thing."

Qian Shan smiled, picked up his glass, and took a large gulp. "Since you don't want to drink, then have something to eat. You must be tired from the journey here, and you didn't eat anything at the banquet earlier."

Saying this, Qian Shan picked up a piece of pastry in front of him and ate it himself.

Through his perception just now, Xu Mu had seen it crystal clear: aside from the plates on Qian Shan's side, the rest were drugged.

But it wasn't Spring Night Grass. Instead, it was a grade-one natural treasure, the Intoxication Fruit.

It would make a person dizzy and confused, but not to the point of passing out.

Xu Ningbing's face darkened. If Xu Mu hadn't warned her in advance, she really might have casually eaten something.

It really was one trap after another, all designed to make her fall for it.

This Qian Shan was truly disgusting. When she was chatting with him earlier, she had actually thought he was a decent guy.

"Miss Xu, the reason I asked you here this time is to say that your cooperation with the Yan family is going very well, and I also want to follow the Yan family in the future."

Qian Shan said with a smile. "It's one thing if you don't drink the wine, but you won't even eat the food. You're really not giving me any face."

"Sis, I think Mr. Qian seems like a good guy. Let's just have a bite."

Xu Mu took the initiative to pick up a piece of sushi with his chopsticks and place it in Xu Ningbing's bowl. He then picked up another piece for himself and popped it directly into his mouth.

Although Xu Ningbing was a bit hesitant, seeing the look in Xu Mu's eyes, she also ate a piece.

Seeing this, Qian Shan nodded in complete satisfaction.

"Mr. Qian, we'll be leaving now."

Xu Mu grabbed Xu Ningbing's hand, turned around, and left the private room.

"Little Mu, didn't you say..."

"Eat this, it's an antidote."

Before Xu Ningbing could finish, Xu Mu took out a leaf and stuffed it into her palm.

As for the remaining leaf, Xu Mu ate it himself.

Seeing this, Xu Ningbing hurriedly consumed the leaf.

"In a moment, no matter who you run into, ignore them and head straight to our room."

Just as Xu Mu finished speaking, Liu Lei walked over from a distance with a smile.

"Holy shit! Young Master Xu, I ran into you again. I won't let you get away this time!"

Liu Lei lunged forward directly, forcefully grabbing Xu Mu and dragging him away.

Normally, after taking the drug, Xu Mu shouldn't have had the strength to resist even if he wanted to.

In the end, Xu Mu was dragged into the stairwell by Liu Lei. They went up one floor and arrived at the accommodation area.

He smoothly opened the door to a room and pulled Xu Mu inside.

Following that, he pushed Xu Mu onto the bed nearby.

Liu Lei took a folded tissue from his pocket and carefully opened it, revealing some white powder inside.

Just as he leaned over, Xu Mu blew forcefully, plastering the powder all over Liu Lei's face. Some of it went into his mouth, and some was inhaled.

"Fuck! Xu Mu, you're fucking fine!"

Liu Lei began to cough violently. He had wanted to run, but a silver needle pierced into his back, causing him to instantly go limp on the spot.

"A moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Young Master Liu, enjoy yourself."

After saying that, Xu Mu turned and walked out the door.
