Chapter 333 As Clever as She Is

"Some things can be analyzed if you have a brain."

Wen Ni walked calmly to the coffee table and picked up a large ant that had crawled out of a flowerpot.

Watching the ant frantically waving its legs, her eyes were filled with a dull and lifeless expression. "When an ant suddenly appears in a pot of plants, it usually means that the entire pot of plants is already infested with insects!"

"The higher-ups sent people to arrest Ge Gang, but they actually wanted to arrest more than just him. They said they were afraid he would defect to a rival chamber of commerce and leak secrets, but that was just a pretext. The entire chamber of commerce was already in trouble; it was more like a plague of internal traitors! The chairman was afraid that the chamber of commerce's core secrets would be leaked, causing the system he had built to collapse and disintegrate. So he had no choice but to strike first and find a bigger backer before everything was beyond repair!"

"Since we can't swallow the Pi family whole, let's take a risky gamble and shift the blame eastward. We'll sacrifice one of the Pi families to incite multiple parties to fight each other. Our Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce can then use this opportunity to cultivate relationships with powerful figures and profit from it!"

Wen Ni tossed the ant back into the flowerpot, turned around, and met Ban Gou's admiring gaze. Her words were cold and detached: "Greedy for small gains, not big ones; develop stealthily, just to survive! Am I right, Brother Ban Gou?"

"You truly amaze me time and time again!" Ban Gou slowly rose and walked step by step to Wen Ni. "No wonder Blind Thorn said he liked you. Intelligent people always win people's hearts!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Ban Gou!" Wen Ni said, bowing her head.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Brother Ban Gou, who exactly is that Blind Thorn? Which merchant guild does he belong to? And why does he look younger than me?"

“Him? He’s a lackey of the Imperial Alliance Merchant Guild.” After Ban Gou finished speaking, he raised his hand and pinched her chin with an ambiguous meaning, forcing her to look at him!

"What's wrong, Brother Ban Gou?"

"If someone says they like you, you wouldn't suddenly have other thoughts and plan to betray me, would you?"

"How could that be, Brother Ban Gou?" Wen Ni smiled slightly, frankly and openly. "I am able to have this position now all thanks to Brother Ban Gou's appreciation. Otherwise, I am afraid I would be whipped to death or shot dead!"

"You'd better mean what you're saying." Ban Gou's cold gaze caressed her smooth chin. "If I find out you've lied to me, I'll chop you up and feed you to the wild dogs! And that Machi, I'll throw her into a brothel and have her fucked to death! Besides, let me give you one last piece of advice: don't mess with Blind Assassin. He's more complicated than you think!"

“I understand, Brother Ban Gou,” Wen Ni replied.

"Speaking of which...you little rascal, how come your skin feels so smooth?" Ban Gou suddenly put his arm around her waist, leaned close to her chin to examine her closely, "Don't you grow any stubble?"

Wen Ni's heart skipped a beat.

The hand resting at his side, with its five fingers slightly clenched!

"The girls who were drinking with me gave me this face mask, it's pretty good." She calmly pushed away Ban Gou's large hand. "If you're interested, Brother Ban Gou, I'll have someone bring it to you later so you can try it out!"

"Okay, bring it to me when you need it." Ban Gou twirled his fingers, put one hand back in his pocket, and was about to say something when the phone on the table rang.

Wen Ni stepped back. "Then, Brother Ban Gou, you go ahead with your work. I'll head down now too?"

"Um."

Having received permission, Wen Ni left Ban Gou's office. As she walked downstairs to the corner of the first-floor corridor, she took out a cigarette from her pocket.

Take a deep breath and watch the smoke drift out the window, through the rusty iron bars, and into the distance!

The hand holding the lighter repeatedly fiddled with the cap.

The tapping sound mirrored her restless, chaotic, and uneasy mood.

He recalled Ban Gou's words and actions from earlier.

The lighter cap slammed shut!

She was basically certain that she had gained Ban Gou's approval, but then a blind assassin from the Imperial Alliance Merchant Guild suddenly appeared...

"Manager Hua, I see another group of ladies up ahead have gotten drunk!" a waiter came to warn.

"Okay, I'm coming."

Wen Ni composed herself, put on a smile, and turned to follow!

The battle for the Pi's Chamber of Commerce officially ended seven days later.

The ultimate winner is undoubtedly the largest merchant guild in Myanmar, the Imperial Alliance Merchant Guild!

"Hua Ying".

"Brother Ban Gou?"

Wen Ni had just finished her work when she turned around and bumped into Ban Gou, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

A quick glance reveals that his attire is different today; his medium-length hair is tied back, giving him a rather capable look. His eyes are slightly upturned, and his smile is wicked.

A brand-new, dark gray suit, still wrapped in its packaging bag, was handed to Wen Ni in the next second!

"Brother Ban Gou? Who is this?"

"Come with me to a dinner party."

"Me?" Wen Ni hesitated slightly.

Given her current status, she shouldn't be worthy of attending a banquet with a mid-level manager like Ban Gou, right?

Could this be a trap?

As she was pondering this, she saw Ban Gou smile again.

"You, as one of the key figures who facilitated this collaboration between our Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Dimeng Chamber of Commerce, are certainly qualified to attend this gala with me! Come on, let me show you around!"

“Okay, Brother Ban Gou.” Wen Ni took the clothes without changing her expression.

My gaze swept across the face, then settled on Ban Gou's face.

"Brother Ban Gou, what happened to your face? It's all red and white, and you've got a lot of little pimples?"

"ah……"

Upon hearing this, Ban Gou touched his face, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. When he saw Wen Ni staring at him, he glared at her angrily, "Isn't it because of that lousy face mask of yours? I had an allergic reaction to it. Take it back with you when you have time!"

“My face mask did work, Brother Ban Gou, your stubble is indeed less noticeable. Why don’t you keep it for now?” Wen Ni advised, pretending to be serious.

"What the hell? Why would a grown man like me need to be so fussy? Like you? You sissy!" Ban Gou yelled, then turned and left. "Hurry up and change your clothes!"

"Okay." Wen Ni stood still, the smile on her face gradually fading.

Ban Gou's words were still echoing in her ears!

[A banquet hosted by the Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce, the largest merchant guild in Myanmar...]

She spent over four months scheming and desperately climbing the ranks to gain Ban Gou's trust, all for the sake of this day!

Wealthy businessmen gathered, and high-ranking officials were present.

She needed to seize every opportunity to find out news about Williams!

If possible, it would be best to obtain some clues about the Godfather Iplis...

He kept planning in his mind the whole way.

Under the bright moonlight, Ban Gou's Pamela luxury car had already turned a corner and slowly drove into the Garden Mansion Hotel, the largest hotel in downtown Myanmar!

A row of luxury cars were parked in front of the hotel.

The two chambers of commerce who were invited were dressed in suits and ties, looking very gentlemanly, and their female companions were young, beautiful and elegant!

Who would have thought that these people were secretly committing murder, robbery, and smuggling crimes, with their hands stained with the blood of countless compatriots and innocent civilians from other countries!

It is only through countless bones that this extravagant lifestyle has been built!

"What's wrong, brother? Is this your first time at something like this? You're so amazed you can't even move your feet?"

"Blind assassination?" Wen Ni turned her head and looked at the person who had followed her.

The young man, dressed in a suit, looked mature and sophisticated, showing no trace of childishness!

"We meet again, Brother Huaying."

“Nobody wants to see you.” Ban Gou walked over from the side, his disgusted gaze undisguised.

Blind Assassin was in a good mood and didn't seem to care. He walked ahead with his hands in his pockets, clearing a path. "Since our two families are cooperating, you'll have to see me whether you want to or not. Oh, by the way, I even arranged for our seats to be together! See you later, Brother Hua Ying~"

"Aren't you shameless?"

Ban Gou stared at his retreating figure and cursed.

He was incredibly annoyed by her calling him "brother" all the time!

"Don't think he calls you 'brother' because he's close to you! That's not a nice way to address you." Ban Gou glanced coldly at Wen Ni, his tone unfriendly. "His twin brother died by his own hand three years ago!"
