“Young Master Chu, Lanting Private Club’s food is pretty good. Since you haven’t been home for such a long time, you absolutely have to try their specials,” said Li Ming enthusiastically as he walked beside Chu Xuan.

Even among high society, there was a hierarchy.

The Mu family used to be a powerful family, but those days were behind them, and they were now considered rich at best.

Despite being a part of high society, the Li family was considered new to this game.

Six families genuinely stood at the apex of power in the capital, and they were the Xiao, Chu, Jiang, Han, Ye, and Qin clans.

Chu Xuan was the Chu family’s eldest grandson, so he was deemed the crown prince in high society.

Chu Xuan had spent so many years abroad that people barely heard about him all this time. Just as everyone was gradually forgetting him, he suddenly made a high-profile return.

Everyone in high society wanted the opportunity to throw a party to welcome back the Chu clan’s crown prince. Li Ming had spent a lot of money bribing people with gifts before he finally managed to get in touch with Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan acknowledged nonchalantly as he entered the club with the entourage.

He happened to see Mu Sheng standing nearby and promptly raised his brow.

He had encountered plenty of people in his life, but he had never seen a woman with such a powerful aura even though she was just standing there. It felt as though he was standing in front of a cold snowy mountain in her presence

Mu Sheng happened to be looking at Chu Xuan, but she calmly veered her eyes when he looked at her.

Chu Xuan felt surprised.

Tang Tiantian’s phone suddenly rang. Tang Tiantian answered the phone and exchanged a few words before she smiled at Mu Sheng. “Sheng, Director Wang says he has sent someone to bring us in.”

The moment she finished her sentence, a tall lean man walked out of the club. “Are you Mu Sheng? Follow me. The director has been waiting for a long time.”

Tang Tiantian sneered at the waiter, “How could you look down on us? See what I told you? I told you we were invited to come here!”

The waiter watched in shock as Tang Tiantian and Mu Sheng entered the club.

Chu Xuan and his party had also entered the club. Chu Xuan turned to look at Li Ming when he detected his sudden silence. He caught Li Ming staring fixedly at the young woman wearing a mask.

Chu Xuan raised his brow. “Is that someone you know?”

Li Ming snapped out of his daze and said uneasily, “Nope. Why would I know her?”

Chu Xuan looked at Li Ming as he contemplated but he did not continue probing.

Li Ming was puzzled. How could Mu Sheng afford to come here? What was she doing here? He heard them talking about meeting a director. Were they here to dine with investors?

No wonder Mu Sheng had such an attitude. From the looks of it, she had more than one man backing her. She was a devious fox with more than one backup plan.

Mu Sheng and Tang Tiantian followed the staff into Xiaoxiang Room.

The moment they entered the door, Tang Tiantian felt something was wrong and pulled Mu Sheng by the sleeve. “Sheng, don’t you think this place is odd?”

Mu Sheng took a glance and frowned.

It was a huge luxurious private room complete with dining and entertainment sections.

There were six men and four ladies in the room all sitting on the couch singing.

A pot-bellied balding middle-aged man stood up when he saw Mu Sheng. After checking her out, he smiled and said, “You must be Mu Sheng, right? I am Wang Tie and these are our investors. Let me introduce you.”

The rest of the men put down their microphones and looked at Mu Sheng in unison.

“How do you do, Miss Mu? Aren’t you going to show us your face?”

Wang Tie nodded to Mu Sheng enthusiastically. “That’s right, Miss Mu. Can’t you see how sincere we are about giving you the part? However, we still have to see if your image suits the role of the female lead. After all, people sometimes look different in photographs.”

Mu Sheng removed her mask and nodded to the director. “Uh huh. Aren’t we here to discuss the script?”

The instant Mu Sheng removed her mask, everyone in the room was awestruck.

Everyone had already seen Mu Sheng’s photo before. Initially, they simply assumed it was heavily photoshopped, so they were pleasantly surprised when they realized she was far better looking in person.

The director’s eyes lit up. “This is great! Miss Mu, you are a very good fit for the role! The female lead is the number one beauty in the martial arts world and you are perfect for the role. Come! We should have a drink.”

The director picked up a glass of wine on the table as he spoke and filled it to the brim before holding it out to Mu Sheng. “I didn’t expect such a beauty like you to exist in the entertainment industry. It is my honor to make your acquaintance. Cheers!”

Wang Tie was holding a huge glass. Tang Tiantian looked very worried when she saw the huge glass of wine. She reached her hand out to block the wine. “I am sorry, but Sheng doesn’t drink.”

Wang Tie looked annoyed. “Aren’t you going to do me the honor?”

The other investors in the room stood up and each poured themselves a glass of wine before walking over to Mu Sheng and looking at her fixedly. They were blown away by her beauty.

“I have never seen a woman as pretty as Miss Mu. If you do us the favor and drink up, we can be friends and have a great future working together, right?”

Tang Tiantian stood in front of Mu Sheng. Her hands trembled as she looked at those men. “She really can’t drink.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Wang Tie interrupted her and held out the glass of wine once more. “Miss Mu, are you trying to disrespect us or something? Mr. Liu has already personally offered you a glass of wine. Aren’t you going to drink it?”

Although Mu Sheng did not know about these dirty tricks used by people in the entertainment industry, she could detect their evil intentions, so she instantly looked at them coldly.

“I am here to discuss the script. I am not here to drink.”

One of the investors called Mr. Liu gestured for Wang Tie to shut the door.

Tang Tiantian felt scared when she heard the sound of the door locking behind them and said loudly to Wang Tie, “Director Wang, what are you trying to do?”

“We are all in the entertainment industry.” Mr. Liu looked at Mu Sheng’s face satisfactorily. “You know exactly how it works, so let me be blunt. We like you, so if you are willing to keep us company, you can have any resource you want.”

Wang Tie came back after shutting the door. “Miss Mu, to be honest. I have never seen investors this interested in an actress before. You are the first. If you make them happy, you can get anything you want in the future.”

It was the first time Tang Tiantian had ever encountered someone as shameless as him. She scolded Wang Tie angrily, “How could you blatantly do this? Aren’t you worried that people will find out about this?”

How could they tell Mu Sheng to sleep with them?

Wang Tie scoffed, “If you really want to find out whether we are capable of ruining your career, you can be my guest and try.”

“You are shameless!” Tang Tiantian took out her phone and wanted to call the police, but she realized there was no signal. She looked at Mu Sheng anxiously. “Sheng, lend me your phone.”

Mu Sheng took out her phone and realized she did not have any signal as well.

Wang Tie smiled proudly and looked at the other women in the room. “Why don’t you tell Miss Mu what she should do?”

Waiters wanted to enter the room to send drinks but realized the door was locked.

“Tsk tsk tsk. Now that the door is locked, they will probably need an hour or two.”

“You’ll get used to it. Rich men always know how to have a good time.”

Li Ming brushed past them and overheard the conversation. He promptly frowned as he turned to ask, “Did the woman wearing a mask enter this room?”

The waiter contemplated before answering, “Yes, she did.”

Li Ming frowned even harder.

He knew exactly what rich men were capable of doing. He could almost imagine what was going on inside the room judging from what the waiter was saying.

Li Ming took a step towards the room and automatically wanted to save Mu Sheng.

However, he quickly recalled Mu Sheng was now Li Hanchen’s wife.

If those men ended up sleeping with Mu Sheng, would it not be the perfect way to humiliate Li Hanchen?

Li Ming stopped walking and headed in the opposite direction.

Li Ming took out his phone as he walked and called Li Hanchen using an unknown number.

Initially, Li Hanchen had no intention of answering the phone when he did not recognize the number. However, he inexplicably felt worried when he heard the phone ringing and eventually answered it.

“Li Hanchen.” Li Ming’s voice came from over the phone. He knew Li Hanchen would hang up right away, so he quickly said, “You are such a good husband.”

Li Hanchen paused and said coldly, “What are you trying to say?”

Li Ming smiled. “Nothing at all. I was just thinking about buying you some hats now that the weather is getting cold. How do you feel about green hats? I think it is really your color.”

Li Hanchen hung up the phone and contacted Qin Kai. “Find out where Mu Sheng went.”

Before long, Li Hanchen learned of Mu Sheng’s whereabouts.

Li Hanchen looked angry when he saw Mu Sheng’s last known location. “We have to get to Lanting Private Club immediately.”

The chauffeur looked a little worried. “Mr. Li, it is 7:00 pm, so it is rush hour and the streets are packed. It will probably take one hour for us to get there.”

Li Hanchen made a call, and a helicopter was deployed from the nearest base almost instantly.

A helicopter flew overhead thunderously and flew towards Lanting Private Club at top speed while everyone was stuck in the seemingly never-ending traffic that night.

Meanwhile, inside the private room, the women thoughtfully dimmed the lights and put on some slow music.

Some of the men had already started having their way with the women inside the private room and the sound of them making out could be heard.

Tang Tiantian pulled Mu Sheng out of the room right away, but Wang Tie had already stood in front of the door and cut their path off. “Don’t leave just yet. You can leave, but not Miss Mu.”

Ever since Mu Sheng started appearing on social media, the investors took notice of this new girl on the market. How could they let her leave so easily now that they finally had the chance to meet?

Mu Sheng pulled her arm from Tang Tiantian’s grip and looked at Wang Tie. “Do you want me to drink with you?”

“Miss Mu, have you changed your mind?”

Mu Sheng reached her hand out to unbutton her coat before placing it in Tang Tiantian’s arms.

The investors looked at Mu Sheng’s slender waist and opened their eyes wide.

“Miss Mu, I am glad you are making the right choice.” Wang Tie smiled smugly. He proceeded to remove his clothing as well, but the first thing he took off was his belt.

Tang Tiantian was absolutely disgusted by this man. She looked at Mu Sheng worriedly. She did not know what Mu Sheng wanted to do.

Mu Sheng rolled her sleeves up slightly before she walked up to the table. “Let me pour you a glass of wine.”

“Sure thing. I am sure the wine will taste better when it is served by a gorgeous woman like you.” The moment he finished his sentence, his belt fell to the ground. He stepped forward and wanted to embrace Mu Sheng from behind.

Mu Sheng held the red wine bottle and suddenly turned to smash it on Wang Tie’s head. The red wine bottle instantly broke into smithereens, leaving a gaping wound on his head.

Everyone in the room was startled and hurriedly came over to stop Mu Sheng.

“I suggest that you do as we say,” said Mr. Liu as he loosened his tie.

Since they were accustomed to having a good time, they were not intimidated by the sight of blood. Instead, it only made things even more exciting for them.

After sleeping with countless willing parties, they felt triggered by Mu Sheng’s reaction and wanted to make her submit.

The men encircled Mu Sheng. “Miss Mu, you are very pretty. Don’t worry. If you sleep with us, you can get any part you want from now on.”

Mu Sheng picked up the last bottle and hit them without hesitation and struck them on their acupoints.

Tang Tiantian wanted to charge over and protect Mu Sheng, but she instantly saw the men rolling around on the ground with their hands on their stomachs.

She was bewildered.

For a moment, Tang Tiantian thought she was watching some kind of period action drama live when Mu Sheng struck their acupoints.

These investors were repeat offenders and always managed to get what they wanted countless times, but they were unable to pull the same trick on Mu Sheng. They naturally felt annoyed.

They swallowed the pain and stood up. Wang Tie took a huge white wine bottle and stood up before wanting to smash it on Mu Sheng.

At this instant, a thunderous clang came from the doors.

The locked doors were suddenly forcibly opened from outside.

Li Hanchen strode into the room towards Mu Sheng with a chilly aura.

His cold aura intensified as he walked past Wang Tie’s belt and clothes on the ground.

Wang Tie was so intimidated by his powerful aura that he forgot he was holding a wine bottle.

Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen. “What are you doing here?”

Li Hanchen’s eyes were filled with coldness, but the moment he saw Mu Sheng, he did his best to suppress it. “Go outside and wait.”

Mu Sheng put down the wine bottle. “Fine.”

Tang Tiantian was terrified with the encounter and instinctively followed behind Mu Sheng. As she walked out of the door, she glanced inside the room and felt scared when she laid eyes on Li Hanchen’s cool profile.

“W… who are you?” Wang Tie watched as Li Hanchen walked towards him while the door closed and felt incredibly stifled by his formidable aura.

Li Hanchen walked over and kicked Wang Tie on his knees. Wang Tie knelt on the ground. It felt as though he could no longer feel his legs.

“How dare you touch her?”
