"Brother Su, what are you looking at?!"

Seeing Su Bai standing there with a slightly cold expression, Zhang Tianci hurriedly leaned over. The moment he got a clear look, he let out an uncontrollable cry of surprise.

"Holy shit?"

"There's such a beauty in our company, and this young master didn't even know?!" After saying that, he thumped his thigh again in anguish.

Su Bai could not help rolling his eyes. If this brat had known, that would have been a disaster. He would have ruined her for sure. Even rabbits did not eat grass near their nests!

"It should be her!" With a wave of his hand, Su Bai rose imposingly to his feet and immediately prepared to contact Uncle Wang to investigate Gu Lanyue.

With a single phone call, detective agencies across Suzhou sprang into action. That was the invisible power of money. Before long, every detail about this Fortune Female Protagonist would likely be laid bare before him.

"Huh?"

But Zhang Tianci was dumbfounded. He immediately took a suspicious step back and looked at him warily. "Brother Su, don't tell me you're planning to make a move just because she's pretty. No matter what, she's an employee of my family!"

Su Bai promptly rewarded the idiot with a knuckle to the head. Speechless, he pointed at the long list of degrees in the file. "What the hell are you thinking?"

"Look for yourself!"

Zhang Tianci clutched his aching head and timidly leaned forward. At a glance, he was dazzled by master's degrees and doctorates, his jaw dropping in shock.

Holy shit, where had this genius come from? She was exactly the kind of kid their parents always compared them to. That was incredible!

"I'd better ask Xiao Hai." Though astonished, Zhang Tianci still did not quite believe it and immediately called Xiao Hai.

After glancing over, Su Bai ignored him and called Uncle Wang instead. In a grave voice, he instructed, "Uncle Wang, send someone to find a person. She's a researcher under Zhang Corporation, named Gu Lanyue. She's twenty-five years old today. I need every specific detail about her."

"Alright!"

The other side answered at once and hung up. Just then, Zhang Tianci also ended his call and eagerly scampered over with a shameless grin. His eyes were full of admiration as he gave Su Bai a thumbs-up. "Brother Su, you must be some immortal reincarnated. You're insanely good!"

Night slowly fell, and a dim darkness shrouded the earth. Su Bai looked helplessly at the villain lackey sprawled on the floor, drunk beyond recognition. He waved the arm that lay there like a dead pig's limb, but there was no response. His mouth twitched...

As expected of a brainless villain. How could the protagonist not win lying down against someone like this?!

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Just as Su Bai was about to call someone to drag the guy back to his room, his phone rang. Seeing an incoming call from Uncle Wang, Su Bai immediately answered.

"Young Master! We found her. Gu Lanyue is an important member of the new energy project under the Zhang Household. She's currently having a team dinner at Xu Shengji Grand Hotel, but the atmosphere seems off. A lot of people are toasting that young girl!"

"Wait, our people found out that the team leader, Tan Zhiyong, seems to have been sexually harassing Gu Lanyue all along. From the looks of it, tonight's gathering is a trap!"

A deep, somewhat urgent middle-aged voice sounded over the phone. Su Bai's eyelid twitched violently, and his eyes widened in horror.

Holy shit!

Why did this plot sound so familiar? It felt like something he had read on Biquge. Could this gathering be about to turn into some kind of disaster?!

And the method was familiar too. Was Tan Zhiyong planning to get her drunk, drug her, and then do something indecent?! At that thought, Su Bai's eyelid twitched even harder...

After all, how could a Fortune Female Protagonist be violated? At a time like this, the protagonist would usually happen to show up, notice the situation keenly, and then play the hero saving the beauty.

When that happened!

If the female lead was unfortunately drugged, would that not be troublesome?

Damn it, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt!

A sense of foreboding rose within him. Su Bai immediately furrowed his brows and asked quickly, "Where's Xiao Fan? Where is he right now? Don't tell me he's also at Xu Shengji Grand Hotel?!"

Logically speaking, whenever the Fortune Female Protagonist was in danger, the protagonist would certainly appear. He had probably just discovered a melodramatic plot that had not yet unfolded.

"Young Master Su, yes. Xiao Fan is at Xu Shengji Grand Hotel discussing a contract."

After a brief silence, Uncle Wang's deep voice came through. Su Bai's heart sank. Everything was exactly as he had expected.

So what should he, the great villain, do now?!

In an instant, Su Bai narrowed his eyes and slowly raised his head to the sky. Descriptions from countless melodramatic novels from his previous life surfaced in his mind. He had never understood why those male leads, knowing full well that the female leads had been drugged with aphrodisiacs, stubbornly refused to send them to the hospital...

Now, it seemed likely to be the same!

Boom!

At that moment, an idea suddenly exploded in his mind. Su Bai's eyes snapped wide open, and a cold smile crossed his lips. "Uncle Wang, tell Qiao Guoan to wait for me at the hotel!"

To be safe, he could not go without someone capable by his side. After hanging up, Su Bai looked at the address on his phone, casually instructed the Zhang Household butler to watch over villain lackey Zhang Tianci, then raced to the parking lot. He got into the Lamborghini Veneno, stepped on the gas, and shot away with a roar...

Xu Shengji Grand Hotel!

Inside a private room, a fat-headed, pig-brained man with a bulging belly and a suit stretched tight across his body stood up with a lecherous grin, raising his wineglass as he cheered, "Cheers! Cheers! Congratulations to Lanyue for breaking through another technological hurdle for the company!"

This man was Tan Zhiyong, the leader of the entire team. He had arranged this gathering under the pretense of celebration, and at that moment, his gaze drifted toward the other side of the table.

A young woman with teeth as white as garlic cloves, a face rounder than a steamed bun, eyes as bright as moonlit water, short hair, and signature gold-rimmed glasses shyly held her wineglass in both hands. She obediently clinked glasses cup after cup and drank each one down. With every drink, an extra flush of intoxication appeared on her cheeks.

"No, I can't do it anymore. I can't drink another drop!" Finally, after who knew how many cups, the young woman, Gu Lanyue, hurriedly waved her hands. She leaned back against her chair and panted heavily, the smell of alcohol spreading from her nose. It was clear she had drunk a great deal.

"Don't be like that! We finally have a chance to celebrate today, and tomorrow is a holiday anyway. It doesn't matter if you get drunk. Besides, Lanyue, everyone is having fun. How can you suddenly stop drinking? Wouldn't that ruin everyone's mood? That wouldn't be good!"

At that moment, a woman beside her, fairly attractive but utterly overshadowed next to Gu Lanyue, hurriedly leaned closer and shouted loudly. As she spoke, she even handed a glass of wine to Gu Lanyue.

This woman was Gu Lanyue's best friend, Sun Yining. Yet beneath her seemingly considerate words, the deep jealousy in her eyes could not be concealed.

Today, no matter what, she had to get Gu Lanyue drunk. Why did this woman always act as though she stood above everyone else? She had to drag her down from that pedestal and turn her into someone like herself, someone others could toy with as they pleased.
