The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 10 Survival Skills

The attic upstairs.

Mu Sen looked down at Lu Siqi; seeing her indignant expression, a sinister smile crept across his lips: "Right now, do you wish you could kill me?"

Lu Siqi clenched her fists, her usually calm face showing a rare anger. She didn't say anything, her eyes staring straight at the lecherous playboy in front of her.

This was the first time in all the days she had been in Jianghong that she had lost control of her emotions, because she had truly had enough of this teasing and oppression.

"Be good...don't look at me like that." Mu Sen lowered his head, pressed her hand on his head, and touched her forehead, reminding her, "It's easy to make me react when I look at you like that."

Lu Siqi bent her legs and pushed upwards with her knees, trying to push him away.

She really has a fiery temper!
Mu Sen straightened up and pressed her down even harder: "Try moving again!"

Thinking that if she angered him again, she would be "humiliated" by him again like last night, Lu Siqi had no choice but to give up struggling, straighten her legs, and turn her face away from him.

"I've discovered you're incredibly stubborn." He grabbed her chin, turned her face towards him, and stared at her intently. "Don't you know a wise woman doesn't suffer a loss in front of her? Can't you just give in for once?"

Lu Siqi spoke up this time: "If giving in would work, you wouldn't have kept biting me last night when I begged you to let me go."

“I was out of my mind at the time,” he explained. “I drank too much, and you had provoked me, so I had to teach you a lesson.”

"And now?" She glared at him with disdain. "You haven't been drinking, so why are you tying my hands up?"

"Let go of me, so you can hit my face again?" Mu Sen raised his hand and pinched her delicate cheek. "Don't you know you shouldn't hit someone in the face?"

"I can let you fight back."

"If you were a man, I would have beaten you half to death!"

He got off her, no longer pressing down on her; walked to the bed, lifted the blankets, moved the wooden board aside, took out a locked box, and then walked to the cabinet, casually removing the wire hidden on it.

Lu Siqi sat up and witnessed the entire process of him picking the lock with a wire, and was somewhat shocked.

Mu Sen glanced up at her and guessed what she was thinking. "You should really be glad that your family is a big conglomerate, unlike me who was so unlucky. I was tricked by Gu Shi into going undercover in Bangnan to catch drug dealers before I even graduated from university. I can't even drive a plane or a tank, but I can pick all kinds of locks."

He walked up to her with the box and emptied its contents: "No matter how difficult the lock, I can open it. You could say there's no lock in the world that I can't open."

I could tell he was telling dirty jokes.

Lu Siqi pretended not to understand and lowered her head. She saw various pills sealed in transparent vacuum bags falling to the ground one after another, and recognized one of the bags as ecstasy pills.

“Come on, the seventh test.” Bending down to untie the leather straps binding her wrists, Mu Sen picked up two bags: “These two are new types of drugs that came out last month, containing different hallucinogens.”

He then picked up another blue pill and held it in front of her: "This little thing will make a person lose consciousness within 30 seconds after drinking it. Nowadays, many young people use this thing to pick up women in bars."

Seeing her confused expression, he reminded her, "You must memorize all these new drugs within three days. I don't expect you to be able to identify them by smell, but you must be able to recognize them immediately when you see them, because this concerns your future safety."

“Bangnan is not something you or I can control. I don’t want you to get ruined by those scoundrels with this stuff as soon as you get there.”

They knew the seriousness of the situation, because once an undercover agent became infected with the drug, he was essentially useless.

Lu Siqi nodded: "I will remember them all." "Absolutely." Mu Sen said seriously: "These are survival skills you must master."

“I understand.” She nodded again.

I noticed that her lips were opening and closing, and although she wasn't wearing lipstick, her lip color was still a light red.

It's so tempting that you don't even realize it...

Remembering the sound she made when he sucked her neck last night, Mu Sen's throat tightened again. He looked away, stood up, and fastened his belt: "Dress up nicely tonight. I'm going to take you somewhere fun."

Lu Siqi's intuition told her: This is definitely not a good place.

Seeing her unwilling and resistant expression, Mu Sen sneered, "You need to get used to the life of extravagance beforehand, otherwise you won't be able to resist the temptations in Bangnan and you'll really lose your way."

There have been many instances in the past where undercover agents have fallen from grace and surrendered to the enemy. Therefore, various assessments are always conducted in advance when selecting people to carry out missions.

Lu Siqi understood the reasoning, but having learned from last night's experience, after finishing her makeup, she still found a high-necked top to wear in case Mu Sen bit her neck again after drinking too much.

"Go change into a low-cut top!" Mu Sen buttoned up his shirt, revealing a loose black floral shirt that exuded a roguish charm. "Otherwise, all that biting last night was for nothing. I bit it specifically to show Kai and the others. What would it look like if I hid it?"

She had to go upstairs again to change into a dress, still a conservative style.

Mu Sen was not satisfied, so he took her to a shopping mall in the city and bought her an off-the-shoulder dress.

Wearing this off-the-shoulder style, the bite marks and purplish-blue hickeys on her neck were all exposed, making Lu Siqi's cheeks flush red.

Without giving her time to be shy, Mu Sen drove his beat-up Santana to Zunhuang, the largest entertainment club in Jianghong.

Despite its rustic name, the interior decor and entertainment facilities are almost indistinguishable from those of some clubs in first-tier cities.

What surprised Lu Siqi the most was that Jianghong, a poor county in Bangnan and a no-man's-land on the border, would actually have someone spend a huge sum of money to build a magnificent clubhouse.

It's clear that the business opportunities hidden here are far more than just people who have fled here temporarily staying.

"Don't look like you've never seen the world before." Mu Sen reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms. He whispered in her ear, "The owner behind this club is from Huaxi Group. Kai is in charge of keeping an eye on this place. I have to go over there with them to gamble a few rounds later. You stay with me and don't run around without my permission."

—Because the prosperity here is just a facade; the ugliness and shameful things are hidden in the shadows.

Lu Siqi knew that Huaxi was a fraud ring that had been operating in Bangnan for nearly 20 years.

Huaxi's official business involves selling jade and local specialties online, but behind the scenes, it engages in telecommunications fraud, gambling, prostitution, drugs, and human trafficking.

Because they are a transnational fraud organization, and because they are well hidden, there is no substantial evidence, so domestic law enforcement officers have no way to deal with them.

Especially in recent years with the rise of new media and short video platforms, they have taken advantage of the public's eagerness to pursue high salaries and packaged the core fraudsters in the group as internet celebrities.

Leveraging the online following of these internet celebrities, they filmed numerous short videos, portraying Bangnan as a paradise on earth. They then brazenly proclaimed that they and their friends and family were earning high salaries there, enticing unsuspecting fans from within the country to flock to Bangnan to earn high salaries, thus trapping them in a scam.

This is why Mu Sen was suddenly assigned by Gu Shi to be an undercover agent in Bangnan right after finishing his previous mission.

Because no one knows Bonnan better than him.
