"Where are you from? How did you find me here?"

After licking his lips, Chu Ge rubbed his hands together, adding a touch of caution and vigilance to his expression, which was naturally and aptly changing from mere longing.

"Handsome, I'm at your doorstep already, don't you want to invite me in first?"

Mu Lingshan curled her lips into a smile, one hand reaching up to the wall near the door, her charming smile accompanied by a gaze that flowed like water.

"Click"

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from the hallway, and two men emerged from the adjacent Room 111.

"Sis, Da Shan and I will head back first, as for uncle's side..."

He Junming was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly saw Chu Ge and Mu Lingshan beside him, and his expression froze, cutting off his words.

Though He Qing also saw this scene, her expression didn't change, maintaining her gentle smile. She nodded casually at Chu Ge.

Da Shan said nothing, his expression unchanged, only feeling a bit annoyed and disdainful inside, releasing a light snort from his nose.

This guy, praised highly by Miss He and Master He, needs a lady to get through the long night?

Finding a lady is fine, but the class of this woman is really not that great, is it? Even if her face and figure are nice, her makeup is too heavy, and her clothes are quite cheap, right?

Moreover, this guy lives next door to Miss He. If there's some noise at night, it would be a disgrace to Miss He's ears. Miss He's mood is already bad enough, isn't this jerk adding to her troubles?

Mu Lingshan was dazed at this moment. Even though being dazed in such a situation seemed inappropriate, she truly froze, awestruck by He Qing's beauty.

Since childhood, Mu Lingshan has always been confident in her looks, but upon seeing He Qing, she immediately felt inferior—a gap that wasn't small at all!

He Junming was the first to recover. Though he felt a bit awkward, he still made conversation, saying, "Bro, is this... your girlfriend?"

Chu Ge grinned, shaking his head, "No, seems like she's trying to sell some ******** delivery services."

Mu Lingshan finally came to her senses, understanding the mockery in Chu Ge's words, and with a mix of embarrassment and anger, glared at Chu Ge, "Get lost! Look carefully, who do you think I am?"

Chu Ge laughed, "Alright, do you really think I don't recognize you? Come in."

With that, Chu Ge smiled at the He siblings, then turned to enter the room.

Mu Lingshan slammed the door shut with a "bang," "Did you do that on purpose?"

Chu Ge shrugged, turning his head with a smile, "Weren't you doing it on purpose too?"

"You..."

Mu Lingshan was speechless. If she weren't afraid of being unable to beat Chu Ge, and with her skirt being so short, too easy for a wardrobe malfunction, she really wanted to kick this guy out the door.

"Alright then, tell me, what's your plan dressed like this?" Chu Ge sat on the sofa, casually lighting a cigarette and taking a slow drag.

"During the day, I had an absolutely reliable friend keep an eye on it for me, and it seems like they're recruiting ladies. I plan to sneak in and take a look; if there's anything fishy, great, if not, then it'll just be a bust mission."

Originally, Mu Lingshan wanted to ask about Chu Ge's female neighbor, but upon talking about the main business, she immediately forgot everything else, her expression becoming serious.

Chu Ge nodded, "What do you need me to do?"

"If I encounter danger, I hope you can get me out. They shouldn't have firearms there, and with your skills, I think you can handle any sudden situation. Besides, I'm not a pushover."

Chu Ge smirked, "Boring, I thought you'd ask me to pretend to be a ticket buyer."

Mu Lingshan became annoyed again, her eyes narrowing, "Say that again?"

"Then how will I know if you're in danger? Plus, your goal is to catch people. If we make too much noise, we might alert the enemy, and in the end, it would all be for nothing, wouldn't it?"

Chu Ge scratched his chin, steering the conversation elsewhere, but this did not ease Mu Lingshan's mood in the slightest. This guy clearly wasn't avoiding repeating his previous words, as his demeanor showed he was ignoring her anger, perhaps finding repeating that sentence very boring, so he brought up the next topic.

Though frustrated, Mu Lingshan had no choice, as she did need Chu Ge's help, so she could only follow his train of thought, continuing, "If I'm not out in twenty-four hours, then you come in, how about that?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Alright, but there's still another problem."

Upon hearing Chu Ge's agreement, Mu Lingshan was ready to leave, but suddenly she heard him say there was another issue. She furrowed her eyebrows, "Why do you have so many questions? It's almost nine now, can't you just talk while we walk?"

Chu Ge was internally speechless again; it seemed like Mu Lingshan was the one asking him for help, right? Why doesn't this Tiger Girl have the appropriate attitude when asking for favor? Why is she speaking so bluntly?

However, this time Chu Ge didn't argue with her either. He sat on the sofa, not moving an inch.

"Since you're planning to apply as a lady, are you sure you can perform well in this role?"

Mu Lingshan nodded without hesitation, "Of course, no problem."

"Alright, then let's rehearse a bit. For example, I'm the one hiring the ladies, and you're applying at my place. Let's see if you can pass my test."

Mu Lingshan was getting a bit impatient, "Chu Ge, can you stop dragging things out? Do you know how valuable time is? If you don't want to, or if you're scared to go, then I won't count on you."

"Sharpening a knife doesn't delay the cutting of firewood. Aren't you worried it might all fall apart with your haste?" Chu Ge shrugged indifferently, and added, "Of course, if you don't mind, I certainly don't."

Mu Lingshan's expression froze. She furrowed her strong eyebrows but managed to suppress her impatience and nodded, "Then let's do it. As long as you're not deliberately making it hard for me, let's simulate as close to reality as possible."

Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Don't worry."

Even while saying so, Chu Ge found it amusing. Simulating reality would be challenging enough for Mu Lingshan; would he even need to make it harder on purpose?

Seeing the smile on Chu Ge's face, Mu Lingshan suddenly felt that waking up to this realization might not have been terribly wise. Why does this guy's smile make her so uneasy?

In any case, with Chu Ge leisurely inhaling his last puff of smoke and putting out the cigarette in the ashtray, crossing his legs, the simulation began.

"Strike a few poses, the kind that have flair, that showcase your figure."

This was Chu Ge's first sentence, and as soon as he finished, Mu Lingshan froze and glared at him angrily.

"Chu Ge, don't go too far!"

Chu Ge laughed, shaking his head.

"Too far? Don't you think this could very likely happen? If you can't even do this for me, what are you going to do if it happens? Are you going to tell them they shouldn't go too far? If you can't do this, what's the point of you going?"

Mu Lingshan bit her lip. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to concede that Chu Ge was right. It's not impossible for them to make such a request.

"Just pose, pose. It's just a few poses, this request isn't too excessive."

Thinking of this, Mu Lingshan gritted her teeth, composed herself, and struck a pose she believed was alluring enough.

Having posed, Mu Lingshan took a deep breath, stared into Chu Ge's eyes, and said through clenched teeth, "How about now?"

Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Stand straight, and redo the pose."

Mu Lingshan got even angrier, her eyes widened, "What are you doing now? Making a fool of me?"

Chu Ge maintained his composed demeanor, smirking, scratching his head.

"I'm not that boring. The emotions you're showing are wrong. Your movements can be shy, your expression can be embarrassed, to show you're new to this, but you're showing all your anger on your face. Your gaze is too sharp, instantly revealing you're undercover. As soon as you finish posing, a few blades might be at your throat."

Mu Lingshan exhaled, put her dress back on, took a few deep breaths, composed herself again, and struck another pose.

Chu Ge made a few more comments, Mu Lingshan straightened her mindset, and switched to the next pose.

Mu Lingshan alternated between standing straight and posing over six or seven times, and Chu Ge finally nodded, "Not too bad, you should be able to fool ordinary people."

By then, Mu Lingshan was so exhausted she was sweating. For the first time, she realized that posing could be such a technical and physical task.

But in this process, her mindset improved considerably, even developing some appreciation and admiration for Chu Ge. His words were indeed very to the point, every word struck a chord.

If it weren't for Chu Ge's guidance, when the time came, any inappropriate performance could arouse suspicion from the other side, revealing her true intentions, causing all her plans to fail, or even landing her in avoidable trouble.

It's just that this sense of gratitude and admiration was completely absent from Mu Lingshan's face.

Seeing the sweat on Mu Lingshan's forehead, Chu Ge stood up from the sofa, handed her a glass of water he fetched, "Do you need a break?"

"No need, let's continue. Next question." Mu Lingshan shook her head, her face full of seriousness and determination.

After Mu Lingshan had a sip of water, Chu Ge continued to ask in the tone of an interviewer, "Since you're here to apply, why don't you tell me, what are your specialties?"

Mu Lingshan was dumbfounded again, looking at Chu Ge, blinking in confusion, what on earth are these questions!

"Spe...specialties?"
