Beauty Trap?

Yue Xiaofei stiffened at her words. He hadn't expected her to be so bold!

"Hee hee hee..."

Tang Xian'er gave a playful laugh, slipped both arms around his neck, and leaned closer.

"Isn't taking what your enemy cares about most the best revenge?"

"I'm Gao Zisheng's fiancée..."

"But tonight, you can do anything you want!"

Her voice was thick with temptation.

Ninety-nine percent of men in the world would probably have lost control.

Then Tang Xian'er suddenly let go, turned, and lay down on the large bed, looking irresistibly alluring.

She slowly closed her eyes, like a delectable dessert, a flower in full bloom!

There for the taking, his to enjoy!

Tang Xian'er was confident in herself.

With her looks, no man could resist her.

But more than ten seconds passed!

The room remained silent.

Yue Xiaofei did not pounce on her as she had expected!

What's going on?

Tang Xian'er's brows drew together slightly. She was growing impatient.

Is Yue Xiaofei made of wood?

Or is he just pretending to be a gentleman?

Smack!

Just then, a soft sound interrupted her thoughts.

Tang Xian'er opened her eyes and saw Yue Xiaofei pick up her red dress and toss it onto the bed.

"Miss Tang, have some self-respect. Put it on."

His gaze was cold as he said evenly, "I'm not the kind of man who takes advantage of someone in a vulnerable position. And I certainly wouldn't use a dirty trick like this to get revenge."

"What?"

The allure vanished from Tang Xian'er's face, replaced by shock and anger.

"Am I not pretty enough?"

"Or can't you do it?"

"Do you not like women at all?"

She fired off three questions, her voice full of resentment.

In all her life, no man had ever been unmoved by her beauty.

Yue Xiaofei's reaction had deeply wounded her pride.

"None of those!"

Yue Xiaofei sneered, looking at her as though she were a clown.

Then he turned to leave the suite.

"Don't you dare leave!"

Tang Xian'er rushed forward and grabbed his arm, making a scene.

"You have to tell me why you're rejecting me! I've made the first move, and you still won't accept?"

Yue Xiaofei shook off her hand. The mockery in his eyes deepened.

"Miss Tang, you never sincerely wanted to work with me. Gao Zisheng sent you to trap me with a honey trap, didn't he?"

What?!

Tang Xian'er's face went deathly pale.

She instinctively stepped back, panic in her eyes, but forced herself to sound calm as she argued.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Gao Zisheng have sent me? I hate him so much I want him to rot in prison!"

Yue Xiaofei advanced step by step, his presence so imposing that Tang Xian'er could barely breathe.

"I believe you really hate Gao Zisheng. But you gave yourself away!"

"How?"

There was a tremor in Tang Xian'er's voice.

My performance was flawless. How did he see through it?

"First, you said the Gao Family had eyes everywhere and you were afraid someone would see us together. Yet you showed up in a red dress, driving a Ferrari, and came to a public place like this hotel!"

"Second, even if you wanted revenge on Gao Zisheng, there was no need to throw yourself at me."

"Third, you've been acting since you walked in, deliberately trying to seduce me. It was far too obvious!"

Yue Xiaofei paused, his gaze sharp as a blade.

"You went to all this trouble to record a compromising video of me, didn't you? Tell me where you hid the camera."

"I didn't..."

Tang Xian'er denied it reflexively, but her hands moved to cover her chest and her eyes darted away.

"Hmph!"

Yue Xiaofei sneered. His hand shot out like lightning and pinched a pearl button on the front of her dress.

Click!

He twisted it hard, revealing a tiny camera inside. A faint red light blinked.

It was clearly recording!

"What excuse do you have now?" Yue Xiaofei asked coldly.

"I..."

Tang Xian'er's face went white. All the strength seemed to drain from her, leaving her legs weak.

She had hidden it so carefully. She never imagined Yue Xiaofei would find it.

Yue Xiaofei let out a long breath.

As the saying went, even heroes struggled to resist a beauty!

With a woman as stunning as Tang Xian'er throwing herself at him, an ordinary man would probably have fallen for it long ago!

But Yue Xiaofei was different. He had lived two lives and weathered plenty of storms.

Nothing this good came for free!

He had been on guard from the start, suspecting Tang Xian'er had approached him with bad intentions. He had been right!

"Tang Xian'er, you conspired with Gao Zisheng to frame me, and the evidence is right here! I'm calling the police so you can find out what prison is like, just as he did!"

Yue Xiaofei's voice was cold as he reached for his phone.

"Wait!"

Tang Xian'er forced herself to stay calm and immediately denied it. "Don't make baseless accusations! I don't know anything about a camera. Maybe you planted it on me!"

As she spoke, she got up and tried to flee toward the door.

"Stop!"

Yue Xiaofei stepped forward and blocked the doorway.

"Scared now? It's not that easy. Tell me everything about Gao Zisheng's scheme, or you're not leaving!"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Tang Xian'er refused to give in.

As far as she was concerned, Yue Xiaofei was just a poor young man with no power or influence.

He had only received help from the military and Handong's big shots because he had gotten lucky and benefited from his family's heroic reputation.

But those important people were busy. They couldn't spend all their time looking after him.

Right now, Yue Xiaofei had no power to stand against the Gao Family.

She might be beautiful, but she was no fool. She knew which side to take and would never dare offend the Gao Family over this.

"You really think I can't do anything to you? Believe me, I could have you locked up in minutes," Yue Xiaofei warned coldly.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Tang Xian'er laughed. "Those big shots already did more than enough by helping you once. Who do you think you are? You think you can order them around whenever you like? Dream on!"

"Is that so?"

Yue Xiaofei raised an eyebrow, amusement in his voice. "What if... I've taken Secretary Sha of Handong as my honorary grandfather? Do you think he'd do me this favor?"

What?!

Tang Xian'er's expression changed instantly, as though she had heard something impossible.

Sha Zhenjiang?

The iron-fisted secretary who held all the power in Handong?

Yue Xiaofei had become his honorary grandson?

How was that possible?!

Bzz, bzz, bzz...

Yue Xiaofei gave her no time to doubt him. He took out his phone, found Sha Zhenjiang's number, and called.

"Grandpa, it's me, Xiaofei..."

He deliberately put the call on speaker so Tang Xian'er could hear Sha Zhenjiang's voice.

A moment later.

Yue Xiaofei ended the call and looked again at the dumbstruck Tang Xian'er.

"Do you still think I'm bluffing?"

"You and Gao Zisheng worked together to frame me. What do you think Grandpa will do if I tell him?"

"Gao Zisheng might have powerful backing and get away with it, but what about the Tang Family? Do they have what it takes to stand against Secretary Sha?"

"One word from me, and the Tang Family will go bankrupt. Your parents will suffer along with you!!!"

Yue Xiaofei pressed closer with every word.

Each sentence struck Tang Xian'er's heart like a hammer.

"Wah..."

Tang Xian'er panicked completely, tears welling in her eyes.

She had been so confident before because she thought Yue Xiaofei had no one backing him.

But everything had changed!

What do I do?

He really is Secretary Sha's honorary grandson!

That bastard Gao Zisheng didn't tell me something this important!

I'm still young. I can't go to prison!

"Wait! I'll talk!"

After agonizing over it, Tang Xian'er finally decided to switch sides and reveal Gao Zisheng's entire scheme.

"Gao Zisheng told me to seduce you and take intimate photos and videos..."

"But we weren't supposed to actually do anything. I just needed you to take your clothes off and pose a few times. Then I'd make an excuse and leave..."

"He also said Jiangcheng No. 1 High School's graduation ceremony is in three days. The school has already invited you to give a speech, and there'll be lots of reporters there!"

"He plans to bribe the graduation staff. While you're giving your speech, they'll suddenly play those compromising videos and ruin your reputation in front of everyone!"

"Then you won't be seen as a hero's descendant anymore. You'll just be a lowlife with a sordid private life!"

"Those big shots who helped you before won't protect you anymore. They might even cut ties with you..."

"And then the Gao Family can take revenge and send you straight to hell!!!"
