They are all bad women!

Chapter 564

Shen Mochen looked through the iron box Xiao Xingshuang had left him once more. Inside were tens of thousands of yuan, roughly the annual income of an average Roman citizen, and nothing else.

He had a bad feeling; he didn't know what task the Keeper of the Torch needed to perform that required him to disappear for so long.

In truth, what kind of protection could a mere Xiao Xingshuang offer him? Yet, she was incredibly important. Perhaps it was because she was the first person Shen Mochen saw when he opened his eyes, perhaps it was because she gave him a sense of familiarity, perhaps it was because of her innocence, her suffering, her beauty…

This small, confined space had become Shen Mochen's "home." Now that his family was gone, what could he do?
After hesitating for a few days, Shen Mochen walked into his boss's office again.

“Oh, my child, is there anything I can do to help you?” Ivan smiled.

Shen Mochen said dejectedly, "I want to ask you to help me investigate something. My girlfriend hasn't come back for a long time, and I haven't heard from her at all. I don't know if something happened to her... You know, I love her very much..."

"Alright, it's nothing. I have some connections in the Guardian Army, so don't worry!" Ivan said confidently.

In his view, these were Shen Mochen's weaknesses, and the more Shen Mochen cared about them, the more he could control him.

He had already investigated Xiao Xingshuang's background; she was just an ordinary superhuman, so finding out where she was was not difficult.

He had been laying the groundwork for three months, and he thought it was time for the child to experience the taste of "womanhood".

He knew very well that he couldn't possess Shen Mochen forever. Although the distinguished guests had signed confidentiality agreements, he couldn't stop a group of women if they really went crazy. Shen Mochen could leave at any time, perhaps found by the head of the Alexandrov family, or perhaps discovered by Roman in the Shen family... In short, Shen Mochen might leave him for various reasons, perhaps at any moment.

He needs to extract as much value as possible from the other party.

So these days, he changed the rules again, announcing that whoever bids for Shen Mochen each week will enjoy Shen Mochen's drinking service for the following week, of course, only for drinking, but this further increased the women's enthusiasm for bidding.

Many people still don't know what that mysterious surprise is, but they know that those who captured the mysterious surprise have no regrets.

Two days later, Lisa knocked on the boss's door.

“Boss, I’ve heard some bad news lately.” Lisa’s expression was grave. “The news may have leaked… Recently, some new customers have been asking me about the surprise auction.”

"I didn't expect it to be so fast..." Ivan's expression hardened.

"Should we take a break for a while?" Lisa suggested.

"Pause?" Ivan's voice suddenly rose. "Do you know how much I'll lose if I pause for a week?"

Lisa hesitated: "But he's not an ordinary person after all. I heard he's the eldest son of the Shen family..."

“I know!” Ivan exclaimed indignantly, “Yu Pi’s family, how could his influence reach Roman?”

Lisa wanted to say something more: "That's definitely not going to work, but..."

Ivan grew even more dissatisfied, growling impatiently, "Are you crazy? Do you know how much revenue he's brought me in these past three months? At least two hundred million! Think about it, that's our entire net profit for last year! You want to suspend his work now?"

"Yes, I was being presumptuous," Lisa quickly lowered her head and apologized.

"...However, your feedback was timely. In that case, let's give him a proper training next week...those women have been nagging me for three months now! Is he ready yet?"

“Yes, he’s already trained.” “Then let’s do it!” Ivan waved his hand. “Boys eventually have to grow into real men!”

Lisa stepped down.

The so-called training, of course, involved teaching Shen Mochen various techniques to bring pleasure to women, a task naturally handled by Lisa, the general manager. To fulfill her duties, Lisa personally participated in every in-depth discussion with Shen Mochen… She was confident that Shen Mochen was no longer just a numerical genius; his skills had reached a level of perfection.

Of course, Ivan was aware of Lisa's long-standing practice of "using public office for private gain," but he didn't mind. She was his capable assistant, and as long as the result was satisfactory, the process didn't matter.

Ivan immediately announced that the next event would be Angel Boy's "Growth Night," and hoped that all the kind-hearted older sisters who were willing to help the boy grow would be well prepared.

"Uncle Ivan, did you call me?" Shen Mochen once again walked into Ivan's office in a harmless manner.

“Yes, about your girlfriend, Miss Xiao Xingshuang,” Ivan said with a smile. “I’ve found out where she is. She’s currently on secondment to another team on a secret mission, but she’s not in any danger. She should be back in two or three months at most.”

"Is she... still in Saint-Marie?"

"It's around the city of Saint-Marie."

What a pity, what a pity. Xiao Xingshuang probably won't be coming back. After Shen Mochen left, Ivan's face showed a faint smile.

Xiao Xingshuang's whereabouts were not difficult to ascertain. According to her friends in the military, she had been temporarily transferred to an extremely dangerous location, a place where survival was nearly impossible. However, she would also receive a generous salary and a compensation payment.

However, he didn't intend to tell Shen Mochen the truth, since Shen Mochen would most likely be gone in a few months anyway. He felt no guilt about deceiving Shen Mochen; if anyone was to blame, it was Shen Mochen for being too naive.

Leaving the boss's office, Shen Mochen was not at peace.

He had never believed Ivan's nonsense. He was now almost certain that Xiao Xingshuang was not in good condition.

If Xiao Xingshuang were truly alright, Ivan would have taken the time to tell him the details, instead of giving such a vague and perfunctory answer as he has now.

Is she still there, or is she no longer here?

Shen Mochen analyzed Ivan's micro-expressions, thinking that Xiao Xingshuang should still be alive... around Saint Mary's City.

What urgent and dangerous places are there?

Despite Shen Mochen casting a "save" spell on Xiao Xingshuang, he still felt uneasy.

It seems I need to speed up my actions.

“The Alexandrov family… Ekaterina…” Shen Mochen silently murmured these two words in his mind.

These past few days, he'd heard those two words frequently from his guests. They must have some connection to him. Although he'd never found any link between the two online.

However, they would hug him and ask who was prettier, themselves or Ekaterina.

Shen Mochen's answer was consistent: "I don't know any Catherine. I only know that the woman in front of me is the most beautiful woman in the world."

This caused them to laugh triumphantly, leaving countless lipstick marks on his face.
