Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Nandu, there is a detached villa located on a hillside.
The north wind whistled through the trees, sweeping up the withered leaves from the branches.
The tree branches shook and lashed against the window frame, as if they wouldn't stop until they knocked the window open.
The lights were on on the second floor of the villa, and the hazy warmth inside turned into a layer of condensation when it touched the cold glass, obscuring the spring light from the room.
Zheng Yao's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her porcelain-white face was flushed with an unnatural redness.
She nestled in the man's arms, and the greasy, obese man contentedly took the cigarette case from the bedside table, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the man kissed her cheek, then grinned, revealing teeth covered in yellow tar and a strong, pungent smell of smoke that nearly made Zheng Yao vomit.
She leaned on the man's arm, turned her head away and took a few deep breaths to hide the look of disgust and loathing in her eyes.
The man was completely oblivious, his fat, short fingers rubbing back and forth on the woman's fair, slender thighs as if he were playing with a toy.
Seeing that Fan Ruifeng was in a good mood, Zheng Yao seized the opportunity to speak:
"Baby, how are your preparations going with Song Mai?"
Fan Ruifeng squinted slightly, took a deep drag of his cigarette, extinguished the burning cigarette butt that was about to burn his fingers, and threw it into the ashtray.
The hand that had just been holding the cigarette butt moved to cover the woman's fair cheek, then slid down to her collarbone.
Zheng Yao forced a fawning smile, suppressing the nausea in her heart.
"Don't worry, you've done such a good job, how could I not do what I promised you? I've already personally contacted Yunxing's people about that woman, and she won't be kicked out of Yunxing for long. Just wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yao's smile became more genuine, and she proactively offered a sweet kiss.
Fan Ruifeng, on the other hand, was quite pleased, glancing at her sideways:
"Are you happy now?"
Zheng Yao immediately flattered him.
“My baby cares about me so much, takes my words to heart, and even contacted Yunxing’s people himself. How can I not be moved?”
Upon hearing this, Fan Ruifeng wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Stay close to me, and your life will only get better and better from now on."
Zheng Yao's eyes flickered as she seized the opportunity to make a request: "Can you provide me with a car? I don't need it to be a luxury car, as long as it's drivable. This place is too remote, and it's hard to even get a taxi. I can only go to the city center once in a while. Staying here all day is so boring."
She pouted and expressed her dissatisfaction in a coquettish tone.
Fan Ruifeng wasn't stingy with her; at least he gave her this villa to live in, and he would buy her whatever she wanted. He even did what she wanted to do to get revenge on Song Mai.
However, although the villa has a nice environment, it is extremely far from the city center, and getting a taxi is a matter of luck.
There are no entertainment facilities or shopping malls nearby. She spends her days either standing halfway up the mountain looking at the mountains and trees, or holed up at home staring at each other with a few servants.
Zheng Yao has always enjoyed lively atmospheres, and the sudden quiet made her very uncomfortable.
She had asked Fan Ruifeng for a car before, but he refused her every time with various excuses.
She wondered if she was asking for too much, making Fan Ruifeng think she was too greedy, which was why he was unwilling to buy her a car.
So this time, Zheng Yao hesitated for a long time before speaking.
She used a feigned retreat to advance, speaking pitifully and offering to let Fan Ruifeng give her any car he could find, as long as it was drivable. She didn't believe Fan Ruifeng would refuse.
However, to her surprise, the man frowned as soon as she spoke.
"No, this matter should not be mentioned again."
He spoke in a very serious and earnest manner, which made Zheng Yao very unhappy.
"Why? All I want is a car. Is that too much to ask?"
She couldn't understand why he would treat her like this when she had done so much for him, and all she wanted was a car, yet he was so upset.
She wouldn't have been interested in him if it weren't for his power and influence.
The man seemed to realize that his reaction was a bit too much and had upset Zheng Yao, so he quickly pulled her into his arms and smiled to ease the tension.
"It's not excessive, of course it's not excessive. It's not something valuable, just a car. How could I be reluctant to part with it? As long as it can be driven, that's fine. Of course I'll give you the best of everything."
Zheng Yao looked at him suspiciously, clearly not entirely believing his words.
"Then why did you react that way just now? And why did you tell me never to mention it again?"
Fan Ruifeng's eyes narrowed into slits as he laughed.
“I’m just worried sick. You see, this house is halfway up the mountain. To get to the city, you have to take a winding mountain road. How can I be at ease if you have to drive all the way down the mountain and then all the way to the city by yourself? What if something happens to you on the way? If something unexpected happens, you’ll be all alone. I’m just worried about you and I didn’t pay attention to my tone. Please don’t be angry with me for this.”
Although his words sounded nice, Zheng Yao wasn't going to believe them easily.
This man seemed like a brainless lecher, someone who was easy to manipulate and control. But after spending time with him, Zheng Yao discovered that this was not the case. Fan Ruifeng was actually a cunning old fox who had been in the business world for a long time. He was very shrewd but never showed it.
Zheng Yao looked up at him: "Is that so? That's actually easy to solve. You can just arrange a driver for me, right? That would be the best of both worlds. You can rest assured, and I won't have to stay at home every day. Isn't that great?"
Under Zheng Yao's gaze, a hint of anger surfaced in Fan Ruifeng's eyes. When their eyes met, a dangerous glint flashed in his slanted eyes, but it only lasted for a second before disappearing.
He then smiled.
"Alright, alright, you're right. I didn't think it through. I'll have someone start choosing a car for you tomorrow, and I'll also pick out a better driver."
Upon hearing his words, Zheng Yao immediately hugged him contentedly and said coquettishly:
"Baby is the best."
But unnoticed by her, a hint of malice flashed in Fan Ruifeng's eyes.
That night, in Liuli Lane.
This is the most bustling and vibrant street in the entire southern capital city at night.
Countless nightclubs and bars are scattered along this street, where the lights are bright and the atmosphere is vibrant, with lively dance music and the sounds of people blending together.
Even vehicles passing by can't help but slow down, just to take a few more glances at the bustling and prosperous scene on both sides of the road.
The largest den of iniquity in the entire Southern Capital was located on this street.
Nine Heavens City.
This is the largest nightclub in the entire Southern Metropolis. Its exterior is like a palace, extremely luxurious and elegant. Countless luxury cars are parked at the entrance, with the cheapest one costing several million.
