Chapter 28 A Man Is Seducing Me
Ling Qiu used a false identity to conduct the transaction, selling the special medicine to her boss, Holt, for 150,000 without showing her face.
She wasn't sure if Holt was his real name; at least Ling Qiu had considered investigating Holt before, but she hadn't found anything.
In fact, nothing was found. Instead, the clues were clear: Holt was either a high-ranking executive in the company or a high-ranking government official, and the two were in cahoots.
"Is this your boss?" Anbot stared at the man's figure on the electronic screen.
Holt was tall and muscular, with a handsome and upright face. He also liked to wear suits, and at first glance, he looked a bit like a male character from a Korean comic book.
This was also the first time Ling Qiu had seen Holt in his full form. She had only seen photos of Holt before. She pursed her lips and suddenly lost interest in the "disciplining the boss" play.
It would be more meaningful to actually humiliate Holt than to play this game with Amber.
"She looks disgusting, doesn't she?" Ling Qiu squinted. "She looks like the kind of slut who gets ruthlessly rubbed in."
"?" Anbot looked puzzled. "A rag?"
"Ah ha..." Ling Qiu chuckled, inadvertently letting her tongue slip, "It means being beaten up by a lot of people."
“Oh…” Ambot seemed to be thinking, human language had evolved to the point that even He was a little unaccustomed to it.
After receiving the 150,000, based on Ling Qiu's understanding of Holt, he wouldn't make a move immediately. Instead, he would observe the market situation and then sell at the highest point.
Even more so, Holt may know exactly when the price will reach its peak; he may have inside information.
What Ling Qiu wanted to do was to start manipulating public opinion right now, turning the miracle drug into a scam and making Holt's 150,000 yuan go down the drain.
To accomplish this, we have to rely on Lululan and Ron. Ron is very popular, and Lululan works at the company; both of their words are highly credible.
Ling Qiu didn't tell them to say directly that the special medicine was useless, but rather to say that they were cured of their infectious disease and that they hadn't used the special medicine at all.
In this way, no one can cause trouble for Ron and Lululan, since the higher-ups are using the pretext of an infectious disease, which means it's uncontrollable.
After the news was released, Ling Qiu posted several sarcastic posts about the chip, saying that he was suffering too much from his illness and wanted to pull out the chip to end his life, but for some reason, he was cured.
The price of the special medicine plummeted within a few days. Ling Qiu had been keeping a close eye on Holt's movements. She found that this guy was still quite cunning. When Holt realized that the situation was not going well, he hurriedly put the special medicine up for sale at a low price, and in the end, he still managed to sell it for 60,000.
That's fine, at least most of the 150,000 yuan has gone down the drain.
“It seems you really hate him,” Anbote said.
"Yeah, you have no idea how much money that bitch squeezed out of me before! So much that I can't even count it all!" Ling Qiu snorted, now she's finally gotten some of it back.
“Really?” Anbot’s voice sounded somewhat ethereal. “Then do you know where the money I transferred to you came from?”
Ling Qiu paused for a moment. "Right, Anbote isn't from this world, so where did he get the money?"
"Where did you come from?" she asked.
“It was deducted from his account,” Anbote said, pointing at Holt.
"..." Ling Qiu was silent for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Really? You can transfer money from other people's accounts at will? What about message records? Won't you get caught?"
“No,” He said confidently. “Because the money disappeared out of thin air, and it appeared out of thin air here with you. If he wanted to investigate, he would definitely have no clues.”
Ling Qiu thought about it and figured the bank probably wouldn't make a big fuss over such a small amount of money.
“I’m in a good mood right now,” Ling Qiu said. “Well… even if Wang Zheng doesn’t return the 40,000 to me, I don’t care at all.”
Ling Qiu discovered that ever since she met Anbote, her account balance had been rising steadily. She didn't even have anything to spend money on, but the money always seemed to flow into her pocket effortlessly.
"Do you remember... last time we said we were going to do something special?" Ling Qiu asked, tapping Anbote's chest lightly with her fingertip.
"What?" Anbot asked, his eyes shining with excitement, clearly knowing what Ling Qiu was referring to.
Ling Qiu turned and went into the bedroom, beckoning to Him with her finger: "I recently learned this online."
A cunning woman.
He knew very well that she was about to do something that seemed to have cast a spell on Him again. After she did it last time, He couldn't help but speak to her gently for several days in a row, which wasn't good... But He always felt itchy and couldn't help it.
Ling Qiu had modified the bedroom light, making it look a bit like the kind in a stage play, where only one beam of light shines down while the surroundings are completely dark. She sat on the bed and pushed a box in front of Anbote.
“Put it on,” she said.
The monster opened the box without hesitation, but instead of clothes, it found some... odds and ends of metal ornaments.
?
He was somewhat puzzled.
"Don't you know how? Ugh... this is so troublesome." Having anticipated this, Ling Qiu got up and slowly pushed Anbote down onto the bed, pointing out that he should take off his clothes.
Hmm... This body is so satisfying, there's absolutely nothing to hide.
“This is a brooch,” she introduced, stroking it as she helped Anbot put it on. “Have I ever told you that dark skin and gold go well together? And this is real gold, you know.”
These kinds of things can at least retain their value.
Anbot didn't know what to do. The things were cold and had complicated patterns, so he could only sit obediently and watch Ling Qiu help him put them on.
"This is a leg chain. You need to lift your waist a little so that it can lock onto your hips just right." Ling Qiu spoke softly, her voice full of patience, as if she were decorating a work of art.
"Who taught you?" He suddenly became extremely curious. Had she seen something without His knowledge? Or perhaps she had seen someone else?
He admitted that he had been somewhat lax in his surveillance of her recently, and that he would sometimes close his eyes while she slept.
Ling Qiu naturally sensed the underlying dissatisfaction in those words. She raised an eyebrow indifferently and said, "There are men online who dress like this to seduce me."
She said seriously, "To ensure I won't be seduced by other men, as my boyfriend, you naturally have to wear it for me to see."
“Amberton, I’m really working hard to nurture our relationship.”
She pressed her forehead against Anbot's and deliberately said some provocative things, but she could sense that Anbot wasn't angry.
She had a feeling that the monster was becoming more and more tolerant of her behavior.
Hmm... Is it because we're getting closer and closer to His goal?
If that time really comes, how will she spend all the money she's saved? It's a really puzzling question.
She can now squander her life as she pleases, right? Anyway, she doesn't have much time left.
But she could only eat vegetarian food in Mante City, and clothes were of little use to her. How could she enjoy life?
"This is what you called... S/M?" Anbot's voice rang in my ears.
"Not at all! How could I bear to treat you like that, Bobo? I only did it because you look beautiful dressed like that." She held up a gold chain, about half an arm's length long, with two sharp clips at each end.
Ling Qiu shook the chain in her hand and asked tentatively, "Can I... wear this on you?"
To be honest, He didn't even know what this was.
But she's already posted so many, does she think one more will make a difference?
Anbote didn't speak, and Ling Qiu knew that this meant he tacitly agreed.
She eagerly placed the gold chain on Anbote. The sharp clip should have stung, but Anbote didn't react at all.
Hmm... I'm a little disappointed.
Then Ling Qiu mischievously tugged at the chain, and saw Anbote puff out his chest and come forward to meet her.
She laughed out loud: "That's funny."
"You're playing me," He commented. The sentence was even spoken in a very proper manner, as if it were read aloud by an AI, without a trace of mockery, but Ling Qiu found it extremely arousing.
"You washed your hands, didn't you, Anbot?" Ling Qiu slowly unbuttoned her clothes, one button at a time, methodically.
“Hmm,” He replied, though He didn’t think those disgusting bubbles were any cleaner than He himself, but clearly His wife thought so.
"That's good." Ling Qiu adjusted her posture and slowly sat down, facing him.
She was holding a chain that connected the chain around Amber's chest and the chain around her neck, meaning that pulling this one would pull the other two.
Just like an owner walking a dog.
Every time she moved, she would tug at Him with her hand, and then He heard her whisper in His ear, "I want to ride on your pony for a little while..."
