Chapter 114: The Billion Business Deal

Until the break of dawn, Gu Wanyu, having regained some strength, finally prepared to part ways with Chen Luo.

“When I ask you out next time, you better not refuse, okay?” she said.

“I know there are other women in your life. I won’t ask for much, just don’t forget about me,” Gu Wanyu added with a lingering look towards Chen Luo.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

“Aren’t you curious anymore about why I got close to you?” Chen Luo asked.

“That doesn’t matter. Whatever your reason for approaching me, when you’re ready to tell me, you will. And I’ll definitely help you achieve your goal,” Gu Wanyu asserted with seriousness.

After she left, she cast several longing glances back at Chen Luo.

Soon after, Bai Meixiang arrived. Pushing the door open and detecting the room’s scent, she remarked, “So, you’ve managed to win her over this time?”

The unmistakable scent and the entire night spent together clearly showed that Gu Wanyu had been won over.

“Impressive. You’ve only seen each other three times and you’ve already captivated Gu Wanyu.”

Bai Meixiang studied Chen Luo intently, swallowing hard. She then sat down intimately on his lap, noticing an increased allure about him. His appearance hadn’t changed. He was still the same visually. However, Chen Luo’s aura had transformed, radiating a fatal attraction like a deadly poison that, despite its danger, beckoned one to taste it.

“Dear master, I’ve missed you,” Bai Meixiang said, swaying her seductive figure to hint at Chen Luo.

“Good thing I’m resilient, otherwise all of you seductresses would have drained me dry by now.”

Having just secured a relationship with a woman who had long harbored resentment, and now with Bai Meixiang approaching him, even Chen Luo’s superior physicality might not withstand the continuous demands. It seemed he might need to negotiate with the system to upgrade his stamina.

‘It’s no wonder that many ancient emperors had short lifespans,’ he mused internally.

After finishing their conversation, the two of them freshened up together.

“Have you completely captured that woman’s heart?” Bai Meixiang asked, referring to Gu Wanyu.

“It’s hard to say.”

Gu Wanyu was exceedingly forward, and her willingness to comply with his every request, while easy to obtain, paradoxically left Chen Luo with some doubts. Essentially, Chen Luo was inherently cautious.

“It’ll take some time to truly know.”

“I’ll definitely help with the Luo family’s request.”

Chen Luo initially intended to decline, but the mention of one billion yuan immediately swayed him. Even though Chen Luo was already wealthy, a billion yuan was not a small figure for him.

“It would be best if the old man is gone within three days, five days at the most.”

Luo Mingde’s offer of a billion came with strings attached. The sooner the Wang family patriarch was killed, the better it would be for the Luo family.

“It can be done. He won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun.”

Eliminating the Wang family’s elder was not challenging. Saying he wouldn’t see tomorrow’s sun meant just that.

“I’ve secured a big contract.”

A contract worth a billion yuan.

“Should we have Qi Zhu or Dong Ju handle it?” Bai Meixiang was present and overheard Chen Luo’s conversation with Luo Mingde.

“No, I’m thinking of assigning the job to Elsa.”

“That foreign female assassin, can we trust her?”

Bai Meixiang knew about the foreign female assassin in Chen Luo’s household, who had initially attempted to assassinate Chen Luo but ended up captured. Could this woman be trusted?

“If she wasn’t trustworthy, I wouldn’t give her this task.”

Elsa had proven herself trustworthy, and as assassination was her specialty, deploying her was far more appropriate than using Qi Zhu or Dong Ju.

While Qi Zhu and Dong Ju might be stronger, they weren’t professionals in this aspect. They could easily execute a kill, but doing so discreetly was a different challenge. A professional assassin like Elsa was a more fitting choice. Having Elsa around for so long, it was time for her to show her skills. It’d be wasteful to merely use her as a maid.

“I’ll be heading back. Keep an eye on the movements of the Luo, Wang, and Li families. Inform me immediately of any critical news,” Chen Luo instructed Bai Meixiang.

“Can my dear master promise me something?” Bai Meixiang clasped Chen Luo’s arm.

“What is it? As long as it’s reasonable, I can fulfill it.”

“Could you come and spend more time with me when you’re available?” There was a boundless expectation in Bai Meixiang’s gaze.

“Of course, you can also come to see me whenever you’re free.”

Chen Luo leaned down to kiss Bai Meixiang on the lips before departing.
