Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Fueling the Flames_1

"My big boss, the gender ratio is imbalanced!" Kang Yue split into a grin, brimming with pride as she said, "As long as a girl isn’t ugly,

with just a bit of social ability, she can find a good match. If the girl is even more outstanding, she can find someone who is wealthy and sincerely cares."

Shen Dong found himself unable to rebut this reasoning. He held his head in his hands and leaned back against the wall, "I used to drink myself to the point of a stomach perforation over this."

"It’s not that big of a trauma when a girl leaves me; I just feel inferior, and I don’t want to be trampled upon..."

Before Shen Dong could finish speaking, his vision darkened, his head throbbed painfully, as if something was about to burst forth.

Clutching his head, he rolled on the ground.

Punk, what the hell are you.

The voice was so familiar, but whose was it? It seemed to come from the middle of his brain, like a sword tearing through Shen Dong’s memories, a multitude of jumbled information and images rapidly transmitting through his brain.

Let go.

Pitch black—Shen Dong could only hear something but couldn’t see anything.

A light, blue?

Shen Dong wasn’t sure, but the light swiftly flashed before his eyes, and the next second, the world before his eyes lit up.

He found himself kneeling on the ground.

This was impossible.

He, Shen Dong, would never kneel. Angered, Shen Dong suddenly stood up, and to his amazement, he passed straight through the body of the person in front of him.

Glancing back, his own body was still kneeling.

Shen Dong looked at his hands, then back at his body tied to the pillar. Was it an illusion?

A dream?

Shi Lin.

In confusion, Shen Dong suddenly saw clearly the person who was humiliating him—it was Shi Lin from outside the workshop.

"What, do you like showing off?" Shi Lin held a bottle of alcohol to the throat of Shen Dong, while at the same time, the angry ghost of Shen Dong threw a punch at Shi Lin’s face.

An illusion, of course, can’t hit another illusion.

"Shi Lin, if you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, I’ll definitely seek justice for Wenqi!" The Shen Dong tied to the pillar suddenly cursed angrily, his eyes fierce and savage like a wild beast.

The bully Shi Lin was unaware of Shen Dong’s presence, as was the furious himself.

But this memory seemed to flow like a gentle stream, awakening in Shen Dong’s mind.

"Is this a memory that was erased?" Shen Dong had overlooked it, never paying attention, which had made him overlook many issues.

Now, however, he suddenly felt a strong obsession to explore.

Crack, the bottle of alcohol still smashed onto his own head.

Shen Dong watched the blood flow down from his own face, and anger ignited in his heart; he wasn’t sure if it was a dream, or some mysterious space-time. In any case, he wanted to kill Shi Lin.

The ethereal Shen Dong suddenly curled his lips into a cold smile, stepping opposite Shi Lin, "You’re not bad..."

No sooner had Shen Dong spoken than something bizarre happened.

"Finally, you’ve arrived. Did you bring that thing?"

"What’s happened to you?"

"You even cried." Shen Dong wiped away the tears from the face of the person before him.

"An act?" It was then that Kang Yue realized Shen Dong had come around and raised her hand, ready to strike.

Shen Dong felt as if something in his head was about to split open. He pressed a hand to his forehead and slowly stood up, "I saw a blond guy, didn’t get a good look at his face, but, they seemed to be asking me for something."

"What thing?" Kang Yue suddenly became tense.

"How would I know." Shen Dong subconsciously glanced outside the window, his eyes gradually sharpening, "But, Shi Lin and that blond definitely know."

As Shen Dong spoke, he slowly stood up and observed that there were no traces of people left in the abandoned factory area. He waved at Kang Yue, "I think, sooner or later, you will have the same experience."

"That rich lady is not simple." Kang Yue reminded Shen Dong once more, standing by his side, "So, what are you planning to do?"

"See what Chen Jinshui has to say." Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Before Shen Dong could finish his sentence, Zhou Wenbin’s call came through.

Zhou Wenbin whispered like a spy making contact, "Xunge, we’ve succeeded. What’s next?"

"Shi Lin didn’t notice, did he?"

"Who?" Zhou Wenbin was taken aback. In Hai City, not many knew Shi Lin, who had always been studying abroad.

"Have that Chen Jinshui check if Shi Lin is around," Shen Dong’s tone became increasingly indifferent, his thoughts clearer, letting Chen Jinshui and Shi Lin’s sordid plan continue.

If he interfered, he might not be able to see that blond again.

How to deal with Zheng Wenqi’s side?

Considering his options, Shen Dong listened to the response over the phone that ’he’s not there,’ then followed by walking out of the factory building. Shortly after, Zhou Wenbin drove into the factory area.

Once in the car, Chen Jinshui was initially surprised, then quickly offered a cigarette, "Brother, whatever you want to know, I’ll spill everything."

"Oh? That eager?" Both Zhou Wenbin and Zhou Chengyu laughed out loud.

Shen Dong was also surprised and asked with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, this isn’t an interrogation, nor is it coercion, it’s cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Chen Jinshui was capable of lingering around more than a dozen rich ladies. In terms of observing words and behaviors, social interactions, he was quite extraordinary.

His eyes flickered, starting with an open and honest approach, "Shi Lin asked me to seduce his stepmom. Right now, Wanfeng is going bankrupt, and his stepmom wants to separate from the family, and his dad is doting on her, so, that woman could likely get a large fortune."

"Shi Lin somehow heard about my little talent and wants to use me to get close to his stepmom."

Shen Dong was listening and also reasoning through various possibilities.

He knew that his, Shen Dong’s, appearance would change many things, like the bankruptcy of Wanfeng.

However, the hatred between Shi Lin and his stepmom should have nothing to do with himself, meaning, this conflict existed in the previous life as well.

"Do you have confidence?" Shen Dong was not yet certain how to proceed, whether or not to add fuel to the fire.

Seducing rich women was Chen Jinshui’s specialty. Smugly, he smiled and thumbed outwards, "Not to brag, but I’m a professional at this."

As he said that, Chen Jinshui pulled out an assortment of things from his pocket, "An 800 ml perfume bottle that just enhances the mood without causing drowsiness, fragrant sachets, wet wipes, a difficult-to-verify genuine Huaqi Bank black card, twenty bank cards, each with a credit limit of no less than a hundred thousand."

"Just to give a simple example."

Chen Jinshui was showing off his skills as he extended a long wallet forward, "No pin needed, pick any card, and I will spend whatever is inside for you in a single day."

His boastful tone, coupled with indeed magnetic voice and his intense gaze, might truly be able to captivate a woman.

Shen Dong glanced back at Kang Yue, "Compelling, isn’t it?"

"So-so."

Kang Yue’s response was noncommittal yet directed at Chen Jinshui, "You studied marketing, right?"

"Oh, you really do have a discerning eye." Chen Jinshui’s candidness was also his social stratagem, more easily establishing trust in disadvantageous situations.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I was expelled from university, yeah, because a female classmate ridiculed me in public. She pointed at my nose and asked, ’You a country bumpkin, also have the face to confess to me?’"

Listening, Shen Dong felt a twinge of resonance.

He couldn’t help but applaud, voicing his admiration, "Good, you’ve integrated deception into everything you do."
