Shangshan Ruoshui

The drive that usually takes forty minutes took Tang Ao only twenty.

In the original storyline where the protagonist Ye Chen saves a misguided girl, there was another villain besides Tang Ao—a perverted, fat man with a set of electric toys that scared the poor, innocent girl to scream for help.

This girl's name was Zhou Ling'er, the distant cousin of Tang Ao's loyal admirer, Zhou Qiao'er.

At this moment, Zhou Ling'er's mother was critically ill, and in desperate need of five hundred thousand yuan for medical expenses, she had no choice but to come to this place.

Tang Ao was immediately drawn to the girl and, as if bidding on an item, forcibly raised her value from five hundred thousand to over two million.

In common terms, it was called inflating the "b-price."

Naturally, Tang Ao won. When it came to personal wealth, Tang Ao had never lost in the entire book!

Just as the poor Zhou Ling'er was about to be devastated, the protagonist Ye Chen made a heroic entrance, stepping on the faces of both Tang Ao and the perverted villain to save the girl. With bare fists, he knocked out dozens of security guards before leaving in style. After asking Zhou Ling'er to become his woman, Ye Chen generously took out a million, completely winning Zhou Ling'er's heart.

Ye Chen truly found a treasure. After that, Zhou Ling'er gradually became one of the core figures in the protagonist's camp. When Ye Chen encountered a crisis and disappeared, Zhou Ling'er single-handedly resolved the crisis that even Ye Chen found tricky!

In essence, it was a willing transaction. In this storyline, both Ye Chen and the original Tang Ao, along with the perverted villain, had all bought Zhou Ling'er. The difference was that Ye Chen had high combat power and the protagonist's halo.

They're all here for women, yet the protagonist is forcibly superior. What a lousy book~

"I wonder what kind of reward the system will give me for this task. I hope Zhou Ling'er won't act crazy like Lin Ruoxue."

Getting out of his Bugatti Veyron, Tang Ao looked at the magnificent Shangshan Ruoshui, feeling a little dazed.

He had only been to this place once in his previous life, and even that was just to get himself served up for Ye Chen to slap in the face.

But now...

There was still more than half an hour before the plot began!

"Oh~ Master Tang, what wind blew you here?"

As soon as he got out of the car, Tang Ao was surrounded by a group of beautifully dressed women.

These walls are so white, the lights are so round and smooth!

God, why didn't I remember such a good place for entertainment in my last life?

Tang Ao's visit directly alerted the manager of Shangshan Ruoshui. As a top-tier second-generation rich kid, Tang Ao was quite well-known throughout Dragon Country, and to the manager of Shangshan Ruoshui, Tang Ao was like a golden goose!

Looking at the manager's fawning face, Tang Ao waved his hand grandly: "Get me the most expensive private room, prepare a deck of cards, and pick the two best girls from here. In half an hour, no matter how the game is going, come knock on the door and get me out!"

"Playing? Playing cards?" The manager was momentarily stunned, suspiciously looking at Tang Ao before breaking into a sudden smile of realization: "Master Tang, you sure know how to play. Playing cards, exactly, playing cards! Rest assured, all our top private rooms are fully equipped. If you need any help, just ask the girls. I guarantee this will be a card game you'll never forget!"

With that, the manager respectfully escorted Tang Ao upstairs.

In the blink of an eye, back in the manager's office, Zhou Ling'er stood tall and slender in a sailor suit, feet together before the manager. Beside Zhou Ling'er stood a beautiful woman in leather pants and jacket, with big wavy curls and light makeup.

"Zhou Ling'er, you should know what kind of person Master Tang is. If you can get close to him, don't worry about the five hundred thousand yuan for your mother's medical expenses—even the dogs in your grandma's village won't have to worry about medical bills!"

Zhou Ling'er pursed her lips tightly, her eyes red. She had already mentally prepared herself when she came to this place.

If she wasn't desperate, she would never have come here.

In Longquan City, although she had a distant cousin like Zhou Qiao'er, Zhou Ling'er's mother had sworn she'd rather die than accept charity from Zhou Qiao'er's family.

Zhou Ling'er had just graduated from college and couldn't even muster up five hundred thousand yuan, let alone five hundred thousand. She couldn't even raise five thousand yuan borrowing from everyone she knew.

In these times where wedding gifts can cost hundreds of thousands and houses millions, families like Zhou Ling'er's, who couldn't produce five thousand in savings, were countless.

"Some people better not pretend to be saints while being prostitutes. Know your place. If it weren't for the fact that we're the only two virgins here tonight, you'd never have a chance to accompany a distinguished guest like Master Tang."

The manager stared excitedly at the voluptuous woman, swallowing a mouthful of saliva: "Sister Hong, you're Shangshan Ruoshui's top hostess. Whether we can win over Master Tang this time is all up to you!"

Sister Hong snorted, "A little fledgling. Leave it to me. I promise to make him completely infatuated with this place. As for you~"

Sister Hong looked Zhou Ling'er up and down, clicking her tongue in disdain, "Watch and learn. With your timid demeanor, Master Tang will never like you."

With that, Sister Hong swayed her hips and left the manager's office, while Zhou Ling'er quickly followed behind her, head lowered.

'Knock knock knock~'

"Master Tang, we're here~"

To Zhou Ling'er's surprise, Sister Hong suddenly spoke in a completely different, high-pitched voice. Even as a girl, Zhou Ling'er couldn't help but get goosebumps at her sultry tone.

Inside the room, Tang Ao almost had his heart hooked out by the greeting.

The door opened, and then closed tightly.

Zhou Ling'er raised her head and gave Tang Ao a quick glance, swallowing nervously and psyching herself up: "For my mom's medical expenses, Zhou Ling'er, you can do this!"

In the dimly lit room, Sister Hong walked towards Tang Ao like a model on the catwalk, swaying her hips with each step. She removed her leather jacket as she walked, revealing large expanses of white skin, making Tang Ao gulp involuntarily:

[Oh my, nice figure. But... still smaller than Lin Ruoxue, and not as pretty.]

Hearing Tang Ao's inner voice, Zhou Ling'er quickly looked around, but couldn't find the source of the voice. She had the same bewildered expression as Lin Ruoxue.

When Zhou Ling'er looked up, Tang Ao finally got a clear look at her face, almost falling off his chair in shock.

[Good heavens, the manager really knows his stuff! How did Zhou Ling'er get sent here early?]

Hearing the voice again and seeing Tang Ao's surprised expression, Zhou Ling'er had a bold guess in her mind—

Was this Tang Ao's inner voice?

Could she hear Tang Ao's inner thoughts?

"Master Tang, I've been waiting so long for you~"

Sister Hong whispered seductively into Tang Ao's ear, her breath warm on his neck. Tang Ao, who had no experience with women, turned beet red in an instant.
