Su Ming felt his mouth dry up just after one glance.

Good thing her action didn't last too long, or Su Ming would've had to stand up.

She sat across from him with a glass of red wine, and Su Ming was momentarily stunned.

She always gave off an alluring and sultry vibe, like a fox spirit, with a touch of assertiveness.

Now with her hair tied up, she seemed less like a fox spirit.

Seeing Su Ming staring intently at her, Chen Hong said, "What are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face?"

"You look quite nice with your hair up," Su Ming smiled and picked up a bottle of wine, "One bottle each!"

Chen Hong smirked, "So do I not look good with my hair down?"

"With your hair down, you look just like a fox spirit," Su Ming said truthfully.

Pouring some wine, Chen Hong rolled her eyes, "You might as well just say I'm sassy. Over the years, I've met all kinds of men, and they all say I'm sassy, I'm a fox spirit, or that I'm pretending to be pure!"

Su Ming clinked glasses with her and said, "That's your choice, you can't blame others."

Raising her glass, Chen Hong took a sip and said, "You don't have control over your life in this world, there are many things I can't choose!"

"Now you're wealthy, you have choices!"

"I've gotten used to it!" Chen Hong took another small sip, "A woman's youth is so fleeting; shouldn't she live a bit more exquisitely?"

"That makes sense too," Su Ming nodded.

This Chen Hong is a fashionable, exquisite, and independent woman, not only liked by men but also by women.

But Su Ming was somewhat put off by her provocative ways.

Maybe Su Ming just wanted to have Chen Hong all to himself.

Men are all the same, wanting to possess women exclusively, even if a man has hundreds of women, he hopes to have them all to himself.

Fortunately, Su Ming's asset was enough that women he had been with lost interest in other men.

Seeing Chen Hong silent, Su Ming asked, "What do you think of Tao Junchen?"

Chen Hong instead smiled and retorted, "Are you jealous?"

"No way," Su Ming chuckled.

"You clearly are jealous."

"Impossible!"

"Then I won't tell you what I think of Tao Junchen."

"Can't we just talk normally?"

Su Ming looked at Chen Hong, a bit exasperated, asking her a question and she wouldn't answer directly.

"No," Chen Hong laughed like a fox spirit, "If we were straightforward about everything, it'd be so dull; the twists and turns make it interesting."

"What twists and turns are you talking about? Does your downstairs have so many turns?" Su Ming joked.

Chen Hong laughed even more like a fox spirit, "If you think so, then so be it. If you have the guts, come and try, I'll guarantee you three years in jail!"

"Haha, we're just one step away, and you say this kind of thing!" Su Ming stared straight at her.

Hearing this, Chen Hong leaned forward, her lips curled up, and a fragrant scent wafted into Su Ming's nose, "Why don't you try then?"

Su Ming replied, "Recently, there was a rape case in the Provincial City, the female university student committed suicide after being raped, and the suspect was released after just one day in custody!"

Chen Hong looked at Su Ming and asked, "You're talking about the Lao Qiming case?"

"You've heard about it?" Su Ming was a bit surprised.

"I've heard a bit," Chen Hong nodded and said, "This is quite normal, the Wendong Group is the industrial backbone of the Provincial City, paying a lot of taxes every year. Lao Qiweng is also a standing committee member of the provincial CPPCC. If you were the top official in the Provincial City, on one side is an insignificant female student, on the other is Wendong Group, what would you do? Compensate a few hundred thousand or even millions to settle it!"

Su Ming said angrily, "I want to castrate Lao Qiming!"

"Easier said than done!" Chen Hong rolled her eyes, "Not to mention that Wendong Group is a big taxpayer, just the hundred billion valuation of Wendong Group ensures protection from many in the Provincial City. If anything happened to the Wendong Group, the protectors pushing them forward would also suffer; do you think they'd let you touch Lao Qiming? Furthermore, officials want achievements, without money where are the achievements? Compared to their own careers, a dead student is not that important!"

"The dead one was just an ordinary person, once their family gets a big sum, they won't want to pursue it anymore!"

"The dead are gone; the living need to keep living well!"

Su Ming said angrily, "Do the weak deserve to die then?"

"You're mistaken. Being poor and weak is an original sin. This world is hostile to the poor and weak, and all smiles to those with money and power. So when I was young, I tried everything to make money and escape my social class!" Chen Hong said reminiscingly.

"So this world is sick!" Su Ming sighed.

Chen Hong shifted the topic, "These things have nothing to do with us, why are you so angry?"

"Some things, knowing they can't be done, I still want to do, I will ruin Lao Qiming, I mean what I say!" Su Ming said every word deliberately.

Chen Hong seriously said, "I hope you don't go head-to-head with Lao Qiming, you've already dealt with him, and he's backed down, you don't need to chase him relentlessly!"

"I can't endure it!" Su Ming said.

"Is it because of the lady boss?" Chen Hong laughed flirtatiously.

"Not entirely, it's more for that female university student," Su Ming took a big sip of his wine.

Chen Hong looked at Su Ming and said, "Didn't expect you to be such a righteous person! I always thought you were a playboy, never guessed you'd go head-to-head with Lao Qiming for someone you've never even met!"

Not wanting to argue this point, Su Ming changed the topic, "You're in your thirties, why not find a man to marry?"

"I can't find one," Chen Hong sighed, "You see my current situation, successful men don't lack pretty 18 or 19-year-olds, and I don't fancy unsuccessful ones. Given my looks, why would I settle for an ordinary person?"

"Makes some sense," Su Ming nodded in agreement, most pretty older single women today are like that, unable to shoot high or settle low.

"It's really hard to find someone," Chen Hong sighed again.

"I'm thinking of making a trip to the Provincial City, what do you think?" Su Ming changed the topic again.

"What for?" Chen Hong was surprised!

"I want to visit that female student's home," Su Ming was not planning to let Lao Qiming off.

To deal with someone with connections, one must use other methods to suppress them.

Why was Lao Qiweng so afraid of the scandal growing, even hiring people to suppress hot searches, because of the pressure of public opinion.

Of course, Su Ming still wasn't fully confident to take on Lao Qiweng, so his main purpose was to understand the situation, and deal with Lao Qiming later.
