Chapter 1019: Unexpected Mastermind

More than half an hour later.

An intense battle had just ended.

Huo Ying was at the prime of her life and had developed a taste for it after Xu Shaochen’s second awakening. She enjoyed this a bit too much.

Luckily, Xu Shaochen was in good health. Otherwise, he might not have been able to handle it.

The more women Xu Shaochen experienced, the more he understood the hardships of those working like ducks. This was truly hard-earned money.

“I’ve been thinking. Not only do we need to get information from the Baseball Capped Youth, but we also need to pull him over to our side.”

Xu Shaochen leaned against the bedhead, holding Huo Ying with one hand and smoking a cigarette. He spoke calmly.

“What do you mean? Do you really want me to sleep with him?”

Huo Ying’s face changed instantly.

“What are you thinking? Would I let that happen?” Xu Shaochen quickly reassured her. How could this woman become more sensitive as she aged? “What I mean is to get him drunk, record his words or video while getting information, and then use the video to threaten him.”

“Think about it. The Baseball Capped Youth’s boss must be ruthless. Whether intentional or not, it counts as betrayal. Would his boss tolerate that?”

“So, by then, he’ll have no choice but to turn to us… rather, walk the straight and narrow and cooperate with us.”

Xu Shaochen’s eyes gleamed with wisdom and craftiness. Bringing in the Baseball Capped Youth would make it easier to catch the person behind the scenes.

“You’re really cunning to come up with this kind of idea.”

Huo Ying couldn’t help but tease after listening.

“If he weren’t tempted by flesh, I wouldn’t have been able to scheme against him. Moreover, this is helping him get back on track.”

While speaking, Xu Shaochen’s gaze fell on a photo, changing the topic: “By the way, how old is our daughter?”

“What do you want to do?”

Huo Ying immediately looked at Xu Shaochen with caution. After all, she knew he wasn’t a good person.

“Can’t I just care about our daughter?”

Xu Shaochen felt a bit displeased at Huo Ying’s suspicious glance.

“I’m telling you, don’t mess around, otherwise…”

Huo Ying’s warning was weak. Xu Shaochen interrupted her directly: “What do you take me for? Do I lack women? How could I do something that would betray you?”

Seeing Xu Shaochen showing signs of anger, Huo Ying instantly panicked, hugging Xu Shaochen and pitifully saying:

“Xiao Xu, I’m sorry. I’ve only relied on my daughter for support. I’m sensitive about her. It’s my fault for doubting you. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Apologies should be sincere. Is your mouth only for talking?” Xu Shaochen hummed, stroking her hair, implying clearly.

Huo Ying felt shy since she had never done this before, but she eventually gave in to Xu Shaochen…

Xu Shaochen was in the bedroom discussing life with Huo Ying, which made the Baseball Capped Youth in the opposite building anxious.

He cursed Xu Shaochen’s ancestors, wanting to storm in and shoot him.

He envied Huo Ying greatly!

The dull surveillance task only found a shred of excitement through appreciating Huo Ying’s beauty.

Thinking of Huo Ying being passionately spoken to by Xu Shaochen made him feel as if he was being cuckolded.

Blue thin mushrooms.

Finally, more than half an hour later.

He finally saw Xu Shaochen leaving through his binoculars, breathing a sigh of relief.

This damn suffering had finally ended.

Xu Shaochen drove home, switched cars, and headed to the Western Restaurant to avoid suspicion.

While he was returning to change cars, Huo Ying had already invited the Baseball Capped Youth to the Western Restaurant to get him drunk.

With someone as mature as Huo Ying, deceiving a young man already fond of her was too easy.

The Baseball Capped Youth was entirely duped, drinking glass after glass until he became disoriented.

“Miss Huo, let me tell you… that guy named Xu isn’t any good. He… his women could form an entire troop. Don’t fall for his sweet talk.”

A few drinks in, the Baseball Capped Youth lost his sense of direction and began to criticize Xu Shaochen as a playboy.

Collaborating, Huo Ying sighed in agreement, frowning: “I know, but how can I refuse him? After all, I still want to save my daughter because of your task.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Huo. Your daughter is safe. Our boss is very trustworthy. When the time comes… I’ll help you get revenge on Xu Shaochen for bullying you.”

Seeing Huo Ying almost in tears, the Baseball Capped Youth beat his chest like a dag addict, vowing to teach Xu Shaochen a lesson.

“Just now, Xu Shaochen yelled at me, bullying and insulting me on the bed, probably because a friend of his went missing.”

As soon as Huo Ying’s words fell, the Baseball Capped Youth vigorously stated:

“We did it, Miss Huo. Don’t worry. Once that guy named Zhao spills the beans, it will be his turn soon enough.”

“Really? I also heard…”

Huo Ying continued to extract information, occasionally flattering him and saying things to spark his imagination.

Under the influence of alcohol, he became completely candid, spilling everything.

Unknown to him, Huo Ying had set up a phone beforehand to record everything.

“Miss Huo, just once… give me a chance… just once…”

Eventually, the young man couldn’t hold back, breathing quickly and trying to force himself on Huo Ying.

After all, he believed Huo Ying liked him; otherwise, why say so many ambiguous words? Surely she was hinting.

Just as Xu Shaochen returned after switching cars, he punched him unconscious.

“Damn it, you want to touch my woman? Go eat dirt.”

Xu Shaochen kicked him again, then took the phone Huo Ying had set up, checked the video, and found it was clear, with conversations audible.

“If you came later, he might have actually touched me. You men, after drinking, act like rutting dogs.”

Huo Ying playfully fanned away the alcohol scent with her hand, rolling her eyes at Xu Shaochen.

“I didn’t expect it to be Huo Chuan. The young folks these days do have decent acting skills.”

Xu Shaochen gritted his teeth as he spoke.

The Baseball Capped Youth drunkenly revealed his boss was indeed Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan had long been targeting Xu Shaochen. The encounter on the plane back to Jiangzhou from the Northwest was no chance encounter.

It was Huo Chuan’s strategy to deceive Xu Shaochen into believing he was different from his father.

And it had worked.

Had the Baseball Capped Youth not just mentioned it,

Xu Shaochen wouldn’t have suspected Huo Chuan at all.
