I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 742 Director Warm-up

Jinggang, the private club of the Shangyu Emperor.

The lighting in the private room was dim and ambiguous, and the tip of the nose was filled with a faint sweet fragrance of luxury and temptation.

The man sitting on the crocodile leather sofa felt a little uneasy, his palms were sweaty, and he glanced at the girl opposite him awkwardly.

"Ms. Jiang...Ms. Jiang, what do you want?"

The man, codenamed Poker, was a subordinate of Shen Mianzhi, and was ordered by Shen Mianzhi to fully cooperate with Jiang Huashan and obey her orders. Poker had originally thought that the task required by the rich lady was just to serve as a bodyguard or to find someone unlucky, but he didn't expect Jiang Huashan to directly invite him to a gigolo bar.

People in their line of work know almost everything about the gray industry in Country A. Even though the sign outside says it's an entertainment club, it can't be hidden from his eyes.

Miss Jiang called him over and, without saying a word, stared him down from head to toe. Poker had heard that these gamblers played lavishly, and was just hesitating whether to remind Miss Jiang that he only sold his art, not his body, when Jiang Huashan, the woman across from him, finally spoke up.

"How's your endurance?"

really.

Poker's alarm bells immediately rang, and he tightened his poker face, "It's... it's okay."

"What about skills? I've already agreed with your hall master that I need good skills."

Poker's brows were almost twisted into knots. He hadn't compared them before, so he didn't know if they were good or not. Thinking of Shen Mianzhi's strict rule, he was a little afraid to offend her, so he could only give a compromise answer, "They all said that I'm... quite stable."

"Stable? Stable is good." Jiang Huashan immediately confirmed it, and then said, "One person is not enough. This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Do you have any other candidates?"

Or a multiplayer game? Poker looked at Jiang Huashan with an increasingly odd expression. "How many people do you need?"

Jiang Huashan, "The more the better."

"..." Poker hesitated, "This... Miss Jiang, is this a bad thing? Actually, although our job is not very respectable, it still has dignity. The eldest lady said that we can all become regular employees in the future and get a proper salary."

Jiang Huashan raised an eyebrow. "Why, is it not proper for me to ask you to kidnap someone? You're thinking about defending the country before you even become a bodyguard?"

"Kidnap...someone?" Poker was stunned unexpectedly.

Jiang Huashan took out a hand-drawn architectural plan from her bag and handed it to him.

"This is the interior blueprint of the Whale Harbor Opera House. Our target is here, the multi-purpose hall. I need you to arrange for a few people to sneak into the Whale Harbor Opera House when the ballet starts tomorrow, and then hide in the ceiling grille of the multi-purpose hall."

Jiang Huashan's fingertips pointed at the corresponding position on the drawing.

Poker's face grew serious, and he nodded, "That's not a difficult task."

Jiang Huashan said, "Zhizhi said you're a computer hacker, so switching the information source and hacking into the video port shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"It's not a big problem."

"Okay." Jiang Huashan nodded. "The rest of the story is simple. You'll lie in there for three days. After three days, you'll kidnap whoever gives a speech in that lecture hall. I remind you that you must bring your best equipment, because the guards that day will be tough."

To prevent any mistakes, they had to fast as much as possible. Otherwise, if they failed at a critical moment, the entire exhibition hall would be filled with a foul odor. This is also why Jiang Huashan required strong physical strength—she had to stay in the grille for three days.

Afterwards, Jiang Huashan emphasized a few more details.

"You must keep these things in mind. As for the rest, I'll tell you what to do remotely when the time comes. I emphasize again that this mission must be kept strictly confidential. Since you were recommended by Zhizhi, I have no doubts about you. As for the others, you must review them one by one."

Poker was stunned when he heard this. When he confirmed that she was not joking, his expression became serious, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang."

"This diagram is beautiful. Be sure to memorize it all. This is a pair of encrypted headphones. Take them. We'll contact you once you've successfully entered."

Jiang Huashan reviewed it carefully again, and only stood up after confirming that there was nothing missed. "That's it. I'm leaving first."

"I'll see you off."

Poker was about to stand up when Jiang Huashan stopped him. "No need. Don't you see where we are? Showing up with me will definitely arouse suspicion. I'll be out for an hour before you come out."

This is what a proper young lady is! Poker felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had just misunderstood Jiang Huashan, "Yes."

After Jiang Huashan left the room, Poker thought about the entire mission again and felt that it was necessary to inform Shen Mianzhi. After all, the person was transferred from Shen Mianzhi's hall, so if any trouble arose, Shen Mianzhi could deal with it in advance.

Having made up his mind, Poker immediately called Shen Mianzhi.

Something seemed to be going on over there, and the phone rang for a long time before there was a response.

"what's up?"

"Master, it's about Miss Jiang, she..."

"Poker, you don't need to ask me for instructions on Shanshan's matter." Shen Mianzhi's voice was neither cold nor indifferent. "Just do as she tells you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Whales and hospitals.

"Who are you talking to on the phone?"

Shen Mianzhi had just hung up the phone when she suddenly heard Zhou Yanheng's voice from behind. Her eyes trembled slightly. After a moment, she forced herself to suppress her strange feeling and turned around as if nothing had happened, with a look of surprise on her face, "Brother Heng, are you awake?"

Jiang Huashan's brutal attack worsened Zhou Yanheng's injuries, requiring stitches on both arms. This incident infuriated Zhou Guochao, but he searched the entire hospital and found no leads. Zhou Yanheng remained tight-lipped about the incident, leaving him helpless and confined to his room to recuperate.

During the confinement period, no one is allowed to visit except a few friendly families.

Zhou Yanheng ignored the surprise in her eyes and asked again, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

The smile on Shen Mianzhi's lips faded slightly. "It's... a call from the Dark Hall. Grandpa wanted to test me, so now I'm in charge of some of the affairs of the Shen family's Dark Hall."

After saying this, Shen Mianzhi's heart was completely broken. This involved family secrets, which should not be disclosed. But she just uncontrollably revealed everything?

Suddenly, Shen Mianzhi thought of what Jiang Huashan had said to her yesterday: "You are not suitable now." Could it be that she had anticipated that she would be so out of control and deliberately hid it from her?

Zhou Yanheng's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Shen Mianzhi with some surprise. He didn't find it unusual that Guan He told him everything, but Shen Mianzhi's behavior was indeed unexpected.

"You're managing the Shen family's secret hall? Grandpa Shen is planning to let you inherit your father's business?"

Shen Mianzhi knew that she couldn't compete, but although she was unwilling, she could only endure it for the time being, and nodded, "Yes. Brother Heng, I am not better than..."

Zhou Yanheng had no interest in Shen Mianzhi's affairs and interrupted her coldly, "I just heard you mention Jiang Huashan's name."

He was in severe pain somewhere in his body right now—thanks to Jiang Huashan. The first thing he did when he was wheeled into the emergency room was to be stripped naked. A group of andrology specialists surrounded his bed and studied his...

The glimmer in Shen Mianzhi's eyes gradually faded. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still became visibly colder.

"Brother Heng, you seem to care a lot about Shanshan?"

"So, you can't stand it? Or maybe you still have time to leave now."

Zhou Yanheng didn't care what she saw. He simply found Shen Mianzhi interesting, better than nothing. But that didn't mean she was important enough to interfere with his preferences. Especially after every encounter with Jiang Huashan, the feeling of unfulfilled opposition made him completely blind to others. He had no intention of compromising himself and reducing his enjoyment of the situation.

Shen Mianzhi's fingertips shrank slightly, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the breath, "Yesterday Shanshan asked me to borrow some people, and I transferred a few people over. Just now, there was a call from the Dark Hall with a receipt."
