"This guy, even when he's asleep, is still so tempting. Isn't this just seducing me into committing more crimes?"
Wu Xingsheng's stern features softened considerably as his gaze swept over Mu Xinrou's exposed long legs.
He retrieved a blanket and covered Mu Xinrou's alluring, snake-like legs, suppressing the desires in his heart.
As if remembering something, Wu Xingsheng glanced thoughtfully at Mu Xinrou before leaving the soft-sleeper compartment. He put on his pajamas and exited the room.
"Mr. Wu."
The moment Wu Xingsheng stepped out, his female secretary, who had been waiting respectfully, approached him and bowed deeply.
Her peripheral vision couldn't help but stray to Wu Xingsheng's exposed upper body, his firm muscles exuding explosive power.
His body, like steel, breathed evenly after his previous strenuous activity.
A scar, about ten centimeters long, snaked across Wu Xingsheng's waist, drawing the eye. This wound nearly spanned two vital areas.
It was evident that Wu Xingsheng's past had not been smooth sailing; he had even come close to death.
The overwhelming male hormones made the female secretary's face flush slightly, but she quickly composed herself and adjusted her attire.
"This is what you asked me to investigate earlier. The summary is complete."
The female secretary tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, stood with her legs together like a slender pine, and moved to the side.
In fact, the secretary was also quite well-built. Her simple OL attire made her appear elegant and capable.
Her light makeup was fresh and not greasy. She was undeniably a beautiful woman, but when compared to Mu Xinrou, the difference was significant.
"Hm? Efficient. You've worked hard."
Wu Xingsheng spoke in a low, serious tone, an almost imperceptible aura of authority surrounding him.
He took the compiled investigation materials from the secretary and examined them carefully. The more he read, the more Wu Xingsheng's brow furrowed.
For a moment, he even doubted his eyesight. Wu Xingsheng rubbed his eyes twice before re-examining the report in his hands.
"Do you dare guarantee that the information you investigated is factual?"
Flipping through the documents page by page, a hint of strangeness gradually appeared on Wu Xingsheng's stern face.
As if unable to believe the report in his hands, Wu Xingsheng's expression shifted from pale to green.
"It is indeed true. I would not dare deceive you, my lord."
The female secretary had clearly anticipated Wu Xingsheng's question.
After all, she herself had been quite shocked when she first saw the report.
She simply couldn't imagine that "that person" would do such a thing.
"When you usually observe that little brat, were you discovered?"
Wu Xingsheng closed the documents with a twitch of his eye, rubbing his temples as he asked with a headache.
How could this be? How could that brat Wu Liang suddenly be like a changed person?
His own useless son, who was usually lawless and wicked, had actually come to his senses??
Was he kidding? Did he think this was a novel where someone could just awaken like that?
"I dare guarantee to you, my lord, that our actions were absolutely not discovered by Young Master Wu Liang."
"Ever since Young Master Wu Liang woke up a few days ago, he's been like a completely different person."
The female secretary pondered for a moment before calmly analyzing the current situation.
Young Master Wu Liang had now transformed into a polite gentleman. Although some aspects still revealed the young master's arrogance, his current pride was vastly different from his previous ostentatious and overbearing demeanor. Now, the young master was increasingly resembling the younger Lord Xingsheng.
"..."
Wu Xingsheng fell silent, covering his chin. His useless son had suddenly become enlightened?
This wasn't a TV drama. A plot where someone who had been useless for over a decade suddenly awakens and ascends to godhood... did such things really exist??
Could it be that, as the report stated, Wu Liang had been "smashed awake"?
"Alright, I roughly understand the situation. Arrange for those people to continue monitoring Wu Liang's actions."
"Report to me immediately if he makes any moves. I don't believe that kid can amount to anything."
Wu Xingsheng casually tossed the documents to the secretary. Fine, perhaps his useless son was just trying to get his attention.
Hmph, he was even willing to self-harm just to surprise him. Wu Liang's use of a bitter stratagem was truly costly.
After all, that brat had pulled many pranks before just to get him to pay more attention.
"Does he think acting like a reformed person will catch my eye..."
Wu Xingsheng let out a cold laugh. "Then let me see what else you can come up with, you brat."
"Don't give up halfway through, or it'll be too boring."
"It's not something that can be achieved in a day or two, trying to shed the identity of a good-for-nothing. You little punk."
"My lord, regarding the young master's request for Doctor Li Hua and the moving company..."
The female secretary stared blankly at Wu Xingsheng's cold face, wondering if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the master had just shown a hint of a smile.
Impossible, Master Wu Xingsheng looked down on his useless son with disdain.
It made sense, such an excellent master would have a son who was ignorant and only knew how to indulge in debauchery. Anyone would be disappointed and frustrated.
"Let's forget about these two matters. I believe Yao Shi will give me a reasonable explanation."
"From now on, you don't need to report on these matters. You only need to focus on that guy's personality changes and his daily behavior."
Wu Xingsheng waved his hand, dismissing the secretary in front of him.
What's wrong? Is Wu Liang trying to play games with me?
But since this brat wants to play, I'll play with him properly.
To be honest, he was actually looking forward to his useless son giving him a surprise.
"Ah... Yes... Your subordinate understands..."
The secretary stared blankly at Wu Xingsheng, whose lips had curved into a slight smile.
So it wasn't her imagination earlier. Master Wu Xingsheng had indeed become very interested in this matter.
This was the first time she had seen Master Wu Xingsheng smile when talking about Young Master Wu Liang.
"You can go now, I'm tired."
Wu Xingsheng turned and walked towards the inner room.
However, the image of Wu Liang's young face couldn't help but appear in his mind.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like he hadn't seen that brat Wu Liang in years...
Chapter 43: The Maid is a Bit Cold Today
It was already midnight when Yao Shi and He Xue said goodbye and left the hospital.
Wu Liang, who had been waiting outside the hospital, waved at Yao Shi.
"Let's go, we should head back too."
Wu Liang held a cigarette in his mouth and lit it. The aroma of nicotine entered his lungs through his nostrils as he exhaled smoke.
He wasn't a heavy smoker, nor was he addicted to cigarettes, but he simply liked the feeling of being surrounded by mist.
It allowed him to briefly immerse himself in his own little world and relax without being disturbed by the outside world.
"Young Master! What are you doing!"
Seeing this, Yao Shi snatched the cigarette from Wu Liang's mouth and threw it on the ground, stomping it out fiercely.
"Young Master, please hand over the cigarettes and the lighter to me."
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and Yao Shi stared at Wu Liang with a stern expression, speaking coldly.
When did the Young Master start smoking? She, his personal maid, hadn't even noticed.
This was her dereliction of duty. Cigarettes, something like poison, must never be touched by the Young Master.
"Cough cough... I was just having a smoke..."
Wu Liang coughed due to Yao Shi's rough actions, somewhat confused by her behavior.
Wu Liang looked at the cigarette butt that Yao Shi had already stomped out on the ground with a bewildered expression.
I was just smoking a cigarette. Does Yao Shi really need to get so angry?
"Cigarettes can be considered a slow-acting poison. It's not too late for you to quit now."
Yao Shi spread her palm and looked at Wu Liang unhappily, gesturing for him to hand over the remaining stock.
"..."
Wu Liang's mouth twitched as he stared at the serious and imposing Yao Shi in front of him.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Liang sighed and slowly took out the cigarettes from his pocket.
Oh, cigarettes, it's not that I'm abandoning you. I'm just making the least desirable choice out of desperation.
But don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to secretly indulge in you again later.
"Young Master, I hope you won't take Yao Shi's words lightly."
Yao Shi knew that Wu Liang wouldn't give up because of this, but she couldn't supervise the Young Master all the time. She could only hope that the Young Master would be self-disciplined.
"I will. But what did you talk about with He Xue? You were chatting for so long."
Wu Liang awkwardly rubbed his nose and changed the subject. He didn't want to be lectured by Yao Shi here any longer.
He had deep feelings about Yao Shi's lectures; they were comparable to the Golden Fillet spell.
"It was just some trivial matters from daily life, and Miss He Xue was the one doing most of the talking."
"I was just quietly listening to Miss He Xue."
Seeing that Wu Liang had changed the subject, Yao Shi, though displeased, didn't say much more.
After all, this wasn't the first time the Young Master had given her such a perfunctory response. She was already used to it.
"So, what kind of person do you think He Xue is? What's your impression of her, just off the top of your head?"
Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief when Yao Shi stopped dwelling on the matter.
However, he truly hadn't expected Yao Shi to chat with He Xue for so long.
"Cheerful, optimistic, innocent, friendly, gentle, understanding."
It was as if she were composing a sentence, Yao Shi commented coldly on He Xue.
But she had to admit, her first impression of He Xue was indeed good.
The other woman was certainly an outstanding girl, but that wasn't enough.
He Xue could only be considered more outstanding than the average girl, but if that was all she had, it was far from enough to become a daughter-in-law of the Wu Family. He Xue needed to continue honing herself.
And for some reason, Yao Shi felt an inexplicable resistance towards He Xue deep down in her heart.
It should have been a joyous occasion for the Young Master to find a partner, but this twisted feeling from the depths of her heart made her incredibly agitated.
She was merely a servant, so why was she having such disloyal thoughts?
"Uh, hehe… that's great…"
Wu Liang couldn't tell if it was his imagination, but he felt like the temperature around them had dropped significantly.
He wasn't sure if it was the evening breeze or some other reason.
All he knew was that the chilling air surrounding him felt even colder and more biting.
"Cough, cough, let's head back quickly."
A bad premonition immediately crept into Wu Liang's heart.
Looking at Yao Shi, who stood motionless before him like an ice sculpture, Wu Liang secretly swallowed.
