"Hehe, Miss Fang is joking. I'm not a god, so naturally there are many things I can't resolve. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. I just thought of you, Miss Fang," Ning Beichen replied.
"Just friends?" Fang Yi looked at him with alluring eyes.
"Good friends," Ning Beichen replied somewhat awkwardly. Although he could resist Fang Yi's innate charm, resisting was one thing, and her allure was still there. It wasn't that Ning Beichen suddenly changed his taste and became a vegetarian, nor was it that Fang Yi wasn't beautiful and captivating. It was because he knew it was best not to get too deeply involved with this female devil, otherwise, there would be endless trouble. However, he used to be somewhat cautious, but now that he was Grandmaster Ning, he didn't care as much. Still, if he could avoid provoking this female devil, Ning Beichen preferred to do so.
"Miss Fang, have you heard of Chuangsi Company?" Ning Beichen got down to business.
"Of course I have. What, are you interested in this company?" Fang Yi asked Ning Beichen strangely.
"An employer of mine bought some equipment from them before, but now there's a problem, and they're not delivering it," Ning Beichen said.
"Your employer is Liu Yilin from Tianmei Technology Group, isn't she?" Fang Yi smiled at him suddenly and said.
"You know about this too?" Ning Beichen wasn't too surprised.
"A certain superpower is suppressing a tech company in the East. This matter has been making big waves, it's hard not to know about it," Fang Yi said to Ning Beichen with a smile.
"Naturally, you know. Then I won't beat around the bush. My purpose here is to get the equipment," Ning Beichen didn't hide anything from Fang Yi and stated his purpose directly.
"You want my help?" Fang Yi suddenly frowned.
"Yes," Ning Beichen said.
"Is there a problem?" Seeing her frown, Ning Beichen knew it wouldn't be easy.
"Mr. Ning, Chuangsi Company is not as simple as it appears to the outside world. Even though I'm the local power here, I'm unwilling to provoke them. Because they are more than just a company, they have powerful backing," Fang Yi said.
"Oh, what kind of backing do they have?" Ning Beichen asked with great curiosity. He hadn't investigated this company thoroughly, so his understanding of Chuangsi Company was limited. He only knew they were an established tech company and seemed to have official support.
"I only know that four old influential families are backing them..." With each name Fang Yi spoke, Ning Beichen's heart trembled. Not to mention official forces or even deeper hidden powers, just the four families Fang Yi mentioned were enough to shock Ning Beichen. With Ning Beichen's current strength, dealing with one family wouldn't be difficult, but two would be severely taxing. And this was without considering the other forces behind them, let alone the colossal entity of the government.
"This Chuangsi Company isn't just about equipment, is it?" Ning Beichen had already guessed it, but he couldn't help but ask. This was no longer a matter of one or two families; it was a united, massive consortium.
"You guessed right. The equipment is just a cover for the company. Their true objectives are huge, far beyond my knowledge," Fang Yi replied calmly.
"So, you can't do anything about them?" Ning Beichen couldn't help but frown. Fang Yi shook her head and said to Ning Beichen with a tone of helplessness, "Mr. Ning, do you think I, a mere woman, have such great capabilities? Let alone four major families, even one family could swallow me whole."
"You are no mere woman," Ning Beichen glanced at her. If she were a mere woman, then all the women in the world would have to step aside. This woman was very mysterious, and even Ning Beichen couldn't completely fathom her background, though she couldn't fathom his either.
"Mr. Ning, you think too highly of me. I just want to be a little woman, preferably one who is doted on by a man," Fang Yi looked at Ning Beichen with alluring eyes, presenting herself as ripe for the picking. However, Ning Beichen was completely unmoved. He pretended not to see her expression, like an old monk in deep meditation, his eyes focused on his nose and his nose on his eyes. After a while, Fang Yi gave up, knowing this man wasn't that easily tempted. After some thought, she said to him, "Alright, Mr. Ning, I can't help you much with the Chuangsi matter. However, I do know one of their senior executives. I'll take you to visit him tomorrow and see if there's any indirect way."
"Thank you, then." Ning Beichen nodded, knowing that Fang Yi helping him to this extent was already going above and beyond.
After that, they stopped discussing these matters and talked about lighter things. Fang Yi enthusiastically invited Ning Beichen to stay at her estate, and Ning Beichen didn't refuse. When evening came, Ning Beichen heard the sound of water. He went downstairs and saw Fang Yi swimming in the pool. In her bikini, she appeared even more curvaceous and beautiful, swimming like a mermaid in the pool where the sky and water blended, making Ning Beichen's blood boil. Just as Ning Beichen was about to leave, he suddenly heard Fang Yi call out.
"Mr. Ning, would you like to come down for a swim? The water temperature is just right."
"No, thank you." Ning Beichen shook his head and turned away without looking back. He was a man, not a monk. This woman had too many ulterior motives, was involved with various factions, and had a mysterious background. Getting entangled with her was not a wise move.
"Hee hee hee... Mr. Ning isn't afraid that I, a mere woman, will eat you up, are you?" Fang Yi giggled from the pool.
"Miss Fang, you don't need to use provocation on me. I'm afraid you're too beautiful, and I won't be able to control myself," Ning Beichen said.
"Hee hee hee, Mr. Ning really knows how to say nice things. If that were the case, I would be overjoyed," Fang Yi laughed loudly, seeming very happy. Ning Beichen waved his hand helplessly and left without looking back. After Ning Beichen left, Fang Yi, still in the swimming pool, immediately dropped her smile, revealing a meaningful expression. "Ning Beichen, you'll never escape my grasp."
Ning Beichen had already left the swimming pool area, but he didn't return to his room. Instead, he wandered around Fang Yi's estate. It wasn't the first time he had dealt with this female devil, Fang Yi, and she always tried to seduce him in various ways, but she had never succeeded. This gave Ning Beichen a headache. He wondered what this female devil wanted. Was she lusting after his body? Thinking of this, Ning Beichen couldn't help but shiver and quickened his pace, wanting to get farther away from this female devil.
