Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

The atmosphere in the small, enclosed private room was incredibly oppressive.

Basil looked up at Suman standing in front of him, his eyes full of impatience.

His patience had run out.

From spending all his money to buy the venue, to enduring subpar food, to the time-consuming and laborious planning, every minute tonight was pushing his limits.

Su Man dared not delay for even a moment.

She knew better than anyone that what she was doing was like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

One wrong step and you're doomed.

She didn't waste time with small talk and went straight to the point.

The phone was already recording, hidden in the lining of my clothes, and the sound was clear with no background noise.

She deliberately slowed her speech, speaking each word clearly.

"Young Master Luo, I can get this done for you."

"But let me make this clear from the start, I need to confirm this with you."

Basil frowned.

"Confirm what?"

Su Man remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, showing no trace of obsequiousness.

"I don't know what that package you gave me before was."

But I'm aware of the risks involved.

If anything goes wrong, I can't bear the responsibility.

I was just following your instructions and helping you with the tasks; the whole process was at your behest.

After the job is done, I want the reward I deserve.

If anything goes wrong, you will be fully responsible for all the consequences; I cannot take the blame.

This is Suman's final bottom line.

She was greedy for money, wanted to turn her life around, and wanted to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

But she's not stupid; she would never risk her entire life for a little benefit.

At this moment, Basil had only one thought in his mind.

Get this done quickly and make up for all the frustration and losses of tonight.

The so-called division of responsibilities and verbal promises are all trivial matters in his eyes.

He waved his hand dismissively, his tone so casual it was almost perfunctory.

"rest assured.

After it's done, I'll give you a reward of 50,000, and I guarantee your future will be bright.

Even if something unexpected happens, my connections and methods are enough to handle all the trouble.

It's not your place, an ordinary person, to take responsibility.

Su Man stared intently into his eyes, confirming again.

"Do you keep your word?"

Basil chuckled, with a hint of condescending arrogance.

"When have I ever broken my promise to an ordinary person?"

With just one simple sentence, Su Man's mind was completely calmed down.

The backup plan has been fully laid out.

With all the pressure released, Basil, who had been holding back her frustration all night, finally couldn't hold back any longer and completely exploded.

He leaned back in his chair, looking irritated.

"I've never felt so frustrated in my entire life."

They spent over ten thousand yuan to accommodate a popular online group-buying store.

I had to lower myself to have dinner with a group of students, and in the end, I had to eat stale and rotten food that others complained about.

If I can't win over Shen Zhiyi tonight, I'll be a complete scumbag, suffering for nothing.

Su Man accurately captured his emotions and immediately flattered him, using gentle manipulation.

"Young Master Luo has a broad perspective."

Ordinary people spend money to satisfy their cravings and for momentary enjoyment.

You spend money to plan ahead, seeking the final result; your vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"As long as things go smoothly tonight, these expenses and inconveniences are nothing to worry about."

A few flattering words, not exaggerated, hit the nail on the head.

His frustration dissipated almost instantly.

A burning passion rekindled in his eyes.

"That's right."

"The process doesn't matter; the result is more important than anything else."

In the enclosed private room, the two became more and more certain as they talked.

Unbeknownst to anyone, just a door away, all their supposedly top-secret plots were being broadcast live.

Outside.

Zhang Yifan stood quietly, his posture upright and his expression calm.

Every word spoken, every transaction, every secret thought inside the private room was heard without exception.

The drugging operation involves taking full responsibility for the risks, with a reward of 50,000 yuan, and the scheme of scapegoating.

All the dirty dealings were crystal clear.

Zhao Peng leaned in behind him, lowered his head, and listened to the whole thing. His face was filled with shock.

He gritted his teeth and muttered a complaint under his breath.

"That's outrageous! They've abandoned all principles and are resorting to underhanded tactics, aren't they?"

Wang Hao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh.

"Now I understand what Brother Fan meant by 'watching a play'."

This is clearly a live demonstration of an illegal conspiracy; it's truly eye-opening.

Zhao Peng has a straightforward temper and couldn't suppress his anger for a moment.

I just pushed the door open and exposed them!

They dare to do this so openly? Do they really think no one can stop them?

Zhang Yifan raised his hand and gently stopped the impulsive Zhao Peng.

His tone was flat and emotionless.

Don't rush.

Let them continue their performance.

Exposing them now would be too easy on them.

Ending the show too early would be a waste of the clownish drama that the two had painstakingly crafted.

Wait until they think they have victory in their grasp and are about to succeed, then crush all their hopes with your own hands.

This is the most satisfying ending.

Inside the private room, Su Man had completely calmed down.

With the medicine powder in my pocket, the recording in hand, the promise fulfilled, and no worries about the future.

She was completely out of control at that moment.

In her imagination, wealth, a chance to turn her life around, and a superior life were within her grasp.

She looked at Basil, her tone resolute.

"Young Master Luo, wait for my news. This time, it's absolutely a sure thing!"

Basil nodded, a sinister glint in his eyes.

Don't let me down!

Su Man said no more, turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out of the private room.

She gently closed the door, her steps light and quick, her mind filled with fantasies of getting rich quick and turning her life around.

She knew nothing about it from beginning to end.

All his little schemes, all his backup plans, all his plots were laid bare, with no secrets whatsoever.

As soon as Su Man left the next private room, Zhang Yifan withdrew his gaze.

He turned to look at Zhao Peng beside him, speaking casually.

"Go to the girls' private room and chat with them."

Just stay there and don't leave.

Zhao Peng's mind worked incredibly fast, and he instantly understood the intention.

"receive!"

There's no need for arguments, no need for confrontations, and no need to expose the conspiracy in public.

The most dangerous thing for underhanded schemes is to be open and aboveboard, where there are too many people watching.

As long as people were chatting and moving around in the private room, Su Man had no window of opportunity to make a move.

This is the cleanest and most unsolvable way to break the deadlock.

With minimal effort, it achieves maximum effect, effectively locking down all unethical operations.

On the other side, Su Man adjusted her facial expression, suppressing the restlessness and greed in her heart.

Holding a bottle of beverage laced with drug powder, she slowly walked to the door of the girls' private room and took a deep breath.

He reached out and pushed the door open to enter.

The moment she stepped inside, she froze on the spot.

The expected quiet atmosphere vanished, and the private room became incredibly lively.

Zhao Peng and the others were already seated comfortably.

He was chatting and joking with Liu Fei and Xia Ran, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.

With so many people in the room, and eyes clashing, there was absolutely no blind spot where one could make a move.

Su Man's mind went completely blank for a moment.

All the confidence, expectations, and fantasies of getting rich that I had just accumulated shattered completely in an instant.

She completely lost her composure.

For tonight's events, she risked her future, her reputation, and even her life.

They carefully prepare backup plans, go to great lengths to ensure their safety, and grit their teeth to take risks.

As a result, at the last minute, a sudden visit from someone else completely blocked all opportunities.

She was internally ranting and raving.

Why did they have to come just when everything was ready?

Isn't this just playing mind games?

Before she could even catch her breath, her phone started vibrating incessantly in her pocket.

The screen lit up repeatedly as messages from Basil flooded the screen.

"How is it?"

"Have you started?"

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, get it done as soon as possible."

Each message was like a death knell.

Su Man stared at the screen, her scalp tingling and her whole body stiff.

She couldn't reply, couldn't explain, and couldn't give up.

There was no chance to take action.

If we don't take action, Luo Le will hold us accountable when we get back, and all the benefits we've gained will be lost.

He's caught in a bind, caught between a rock and a hard place; neither advancing nor retreating is an option.

Just as Su Man stood frozen at the door, her mind in turmoil...

A figure slowly walked into the private room.

Zhang Yifan walked in slowly, his expression calm and his posture relaxed.

He casually found an empty spot to stand, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Su Man's stiff expression.

One glance was enough to see through all her panic, resentment, scheming, and disarray.

Su Man felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason, and a strange sense of unease rose in her heart.

This feeling came from nowhere, yet it was incredibly real.

She couldn't understand why her plan was so flawless and her scheme so impeccable.

Why did everything suddenly collapse?

She would never know.

From the moment she started recording, plotted evil, and made up her mind to take the risk.

All her trump cards, all her calculations, all her little schemes.

It had already been completely controlled and was under someone's complete control.

This was a carefully orchestrated trap by her and Basil.

From the start until now, I've been completely naked...
