Chapter 811 Pulling Out the Nails - The Perfect Puppet

"By the way, has that evil dragon been causing any trouble lately?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile, lounging on the sofa with the slightly shy Shang Youyou in his arms, smoking a cigar.

"No, he hasn't been to Hangzhou since he attended the signing of the food court demolition agreement some time ago. I called him a few days ago, and he was abroad," Brother Qi said with a faint smile, looking at Gao Dongxu with some admiration.

It has to be said that there is always someone who can subdue another. Who would have thought that the arrogant, greedy, treacherous, and cunning dragon would suffer repeated setbacks at the hands of Gao Dongxu?

"What was the social reaction to the demolition of the food court?" Gao Dongxu asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"It's very good, but economically it has suffered a blow. The hundreds of restaurants, hotels, and guesthouses along the lake, along with the lively atmosphere brought by tour groups, have all gone cold."

"The jobs provided to thousands of people, and the established reputation in tourism, too..." Brother Qi said with a smile, lighting his cigar, before finally shaking his head.

"No matter what, the food court must be demolished. Now we emphasize environmental protection and we need to keep up with the times. Green mountains and clear waters are the real gold and silver mountains. The food court only enriched that evil dragon and his divorced second sister with a child."

Gao Dongxu smiled faintly, "This nail must be removed. Once it's removed, the relationship between my uncle and the evil dragon family will have a period. Otherwise, it will remain an ellipsis forever."

Da da da--

At this moment, Yu Jiaqin, dressed in a red dress, walked into the private room with a smile and said to Gao Dongxu in a flattering voice, "Young Master Gao, the food is ready. Please move to the next private room..."

Yu Jiaqin is now genuinely terrified of Gao Dongxu. She would rather feign compliance with that evil dragon while harboring hatred than face Gao Dongxu's cold and stern gaze that seems to see right through her.

Although the dragon was arrogant and self-important, considering itself superior and dividing people into different classes, making it extremely detestable, it was not difficult to deal with because of its greed.

Although Gao Dongxu did not look down on or despise them, it was the coldness and indifference hidden deep within him that chilled Yu Jiaqin to the bone.

Just like Du Bozhong, an enemy she is powerless to avenge even now, in front of Gao Dongxu, she is like a lamb to the slaughter. No amount of threats, struggles, or pleas for mercy are of any use. Yu Jiaqin has also experienced that sense of powerlessness.

Only through experience can one truly empathize.

In Yu Jiaqin's eyes, Gao Dongxu was like a prism, reflecting how power could distort space and dominate others. Before him, all conspiracies, hatred, and resistance were reduced to the most primal balance of power.

"Let's go, let's eat first—" Brother Qi said with a smile as he stood up.

“Okay—” Gao Dongxu put his arm around Shang Youyou and they stood up together.

More than half an hour later, Ru Xin and Ru Qing, with a bead of sweat on their foreheads, pushed open the door to the private room and walked in.

Gao Dongxu, who was chatting and laughing with Brother Qi, looked at the two sisters and asked with a smile, "Have you found out?"

"Yes, it went very smoothly," Ru Xin and Ru Qing said calmly.

"Okay, sit down and eat. Tell her what you want to eat," Gao Dongxu said with a satisfied smile.

"Sisters, just tell us what you'd like to eat, don't be shy," Yu Jiaqin, who had been chatting enthusiastically with Shang Youyou earlier, said warmly to the two sisters with a smile.

"Okay, then please, Sister Qin, give me a bowl of sea cucumber rice and a bowl of Mapo Tofu," Ru Qing said with a smile.

"I'd like a plate of garlic prawns, please—" Ru Xin ordered a dish without any hesitation.

“Okay, I’ll have them do it right away—” Yu Jiaqin immediately got up and went out of the private room to make the arrangements.

Brother Qi watched with a smile as the two sisters picked up their chopsticks and started eating, noticing that they showed no intention of reporting anything. He then looked at Gao Dongxu.

Meeting Brother Qi's gaze, Gao Dongxu picked up his wine glass, clinked it against his, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this matter. Just pretend you don't know anything. I'll handle it."

"Okay." Brother Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled, taking a sip of wine with Gao Dongxu.

After Ruxin and Ruqing finished eating their food, Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette, stood up, and said, "Ruxin, come out with me for a moment—"

Ru Xin immediately stood up, quickly followed Gao Dongxu, and walked out of the private room together.

Inside the private room, Brother Qi and Yu Jiaqin were still smiling like Monk Youyou, chatting and laughing.

“This is the entire recording—” On the vast lawn outside the main building of the manor, Ru Xin plugged in the earphones and handed them to Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu took the headphones, put them on, and pressed the play button, listening to the two sisters' hypnotic questioning of Du Bozhong.

Listening to the answers to each question, Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly and sneered, "I really thought that if he said he'd been missing for a week, someone would release photos and videos..."

“He himself understands that those photos and videos are a hot potato, and could easily become a death sentence. How could he possibly let outsiders access them again? Moreover, he really wants to find an opportunity to use them as leverage to fleece that evil dragon of a large sum of money,” Ru Xin said. “Looks like I'll have to fly to Hong Kong myself,” Gao Dongxu said, taking off his headphones, turning off the recorder, and frowning.

“I suggest we fly to Hong Kong now, and retrieve the items from the safe deposit box as soon as the banks open tomorrow morning,” Ru Xin suggested to Gao Dongxu.

“Hmm.” Gao Dongxu also knew that it would be best to deal with this matter as soon as possible. Although there was basically no chance of anything going wrong, there were still unknown risks until the matter was completely settled.

With that in mind, he took out his phone, dialed American Express customer service, and arranged to charter a private jet to fly to Hong Kong.

After booking the plane, Gao Dongxu had Ru Xin lead him to the room where Du Bozhong was.

Looking at Du Bozhong, who was still unconscious, Gao Dongxu asked Ru Xin, "How is his willpower?"

“Very weak,” Ru Xin said.

Gao Dongxu nodded, took out the Night Limit Camera from his spatial storage, and placed his hand on the camera. The next second, Gu Lian, with her smooth, flowing hair, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and black trousers, and a tall and graceful figure, appeared in the room.

"Master—" Gu Lian said softly as she saw Gao Dongxu.

"Hmm. Is your injury healed?" Gao Dongxu smiled and stepped forward, putting his arm around her slender waist as he asked with concern.

Gu Lian blushed slightly, looked at Gao Dongxu with seductive eyes, and said softly, "It's alright, thank you for your hard work, Master..."

Gao Dongxu said with a smile, "Hehe, I'm willing to go through any hardship for you."

Gu Lian bit her red lips shyly, her beautiful eyes filled with desire. You see, although she was injured, she also benefited from the misfortune, because Gao Dongxu gave her so much. Not only were her injuries fully healed, but she also gained a new ability to enter dreams.

Seeing the usually aloof and elegant Gu Lian so charming and alluring, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but pull her into his arms and kiss her red lips, greedily taking what he wanted.

After their lips parted, he gazed longingly at her luscious face, handed her the recorder, and said with a smile, "Listen to it first—"

"Mmm." Gu Lian took the recorder, put on her headphones, and let Gao Dongxu put his arm around her and sit her on the sofa.

After listening to the recording, Gu Lian looked at Gao Dongxu and said softly, "Do you need me to possess you?"

"Smart, is there a problem?" Gao Dongxu looked at her fair, delicate, and beautiful face, reached out and pinched her delicate chin, and smiled.

With a shy smile, Gu Lianqiao said, "It's not a big problem."

"Alright, give it a try," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, patting her on the back.

"Hmm." Gu Lian smiled and stood up, her solid body turning into something ethereal. She glanced back at Gao Dongxu before leaping towards the unconscious Du Bozhong on the bed.

Gao Dongxu and Ru Xin, their eyes wide with surprise, watched as the ethereal Gu Lian vanished into Du Bozhong's body.

A minute later, Du Bozhong's fingers twitched, then his eyes snapped open, and he sat up abruptly, looking at Gao Dongxu and saying, "Master, it's a success."

Hearing the man's words with an awkward accent, Gao Dongxu smiled with satisfaction and helplessness, and said, "Very good, try not to talk, and act a little dejected."

"Yes, Master—" Du Bozhong, possessed by Gu Lian, immediately became listless, his body slightly hunched, and his face expressionless.

“Very good, that’s it. Let’s go—” Gao Dongxu said with a smile, putting his arm around Du Bozhong’s waist, which he found amazing and kept staring at, and walked out.

Inside the private room, Brother Qi and Yu Jiaqin frowned slightly when they saw Du Bozhong following behind Gao Dongxu as he walked in, and looked at Gao Dongxu with inquiring eyes.

“He’s willing to cooperate and has handed everything over to me. I’m going to fly to Hong Kong with him now. I’ve already chartered a private jet, and we’re leaving right now,” Gao Dongxu explained with a smile.

Brother Qi frowned, glanced at Du Bozhong who was silent, head down, expressionless, and hunched over, and looked at Gao Dongxu, saying, "Are you sure there's no problem?"

"Confirmed," Gao Dongxu said with a confident smile.

“Alright, I’ll see you off—” Brother Qi said solemnly.

"No need to trouble you, just arrange two cars." Gao Dongxu declined with a smile, not wanting Brother Qi to notice Du Bozhong's unusual behavior.

"Alright then, call me as soon as you're done—" Brother Qi, who also had a lot of dirt on him and Yujiaqin dancing, said to Gao Dongxu.

"Don't worry, I'll give you good news," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.
