Chapter 316: Hooked

That evening, Ahua invited Huang Ziyang to his place and told him the whole story about Wang Bainian.

But he didn't say it was arranged by Chen Mo; he only said he wanted to deal with someone himself.

Hey, this is a piece of cake! Leave it to me—I'll have Wang Bainian behaving properly within three days, I guarantee it!

Huang Ziyang's words left Ahua stunned.

What do you mean? I've been worried about this for over a week, and you already have an idea?

And it sounds so simple!

"What exactly is your plan? Tell me," Ahua asked, pressing for details.

Although Huang Ziyang appeared confident, Ahua still wanted to know exactly what he intended to do.

At the same time, Ahua felt a bit resentful.

Why is something we find difficult so easy for you?

Huang Ziyang gave a hehe laugh, slid his drink aside, and leaned in toward Ahua.

"You just want to pin a more serious crime on Wang Bainian, right? It's simple. He's not interested in little girls, so find him a more mature woman!"

"Then we can charge him with rape."

"Damn!" Ahua suddenly felt as if his brain had been flooded.

How could I not have thought of such a simple thing!

This honey‑trap scheme is second nature to many Triad Society underlings, often used to extort white‑collar workers who appear respectable but are secretly sleazy and image‑conscious.

Although you can't extort big sums, a few thousand dollars is indeed easy.

Before Ahua hung out with Chen Mo, he was also very familiar with these little tricks.

But after he got his official post and became a big shot with his own turf, he looked down on such low‑class tactics.

Moreover, Chen Mo's earlier guidance had kept his focus on those young girls.

Now, after Huang Ziyang's reminder, he had already figured out what to do.

"Thank you for the tip, Sir Huang, but I'll handle this myself."

After seeing Huang Ziyang off, Wu Yan asked, puzzled: "Ahua Ge, why do you want to do this yourself? Why not just let Huang Ziyang take care of it?"

"You're stupid!" Ahua snapped angrily.

"You don't realize how big Mo Ge's business is involved in this? If we hand everything over to Huang Ziyang and he's not honest, harbors ulterior motives, and leaves evidence, what then?"

"Then wouldn't he have us over a barrel?"

"But aren't we still going to need him to make the arrest? In the end he'll definitely find out."

"Sure, we can't keep it from him completely, but we'll do everything we can ourselves."

"The less he's involved, the fewer problems we'll have later."

"Alright, you heard his idea—do you know what kind of girl to look for now?"

When the conversation turned to the matter at hand, Ahua's tone grew serious.

Wu Yan's face also took on a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Ahua Ge—I'll pick a good one this time and guarantee Wang Bainian will take the bait."

Ahua added: "Just getting him to bite isn't enough. We have to make it look like rape, so the woman's acting has to be good—you get that?"

"Don't worry, Ahua Ge, I've got it all memorized! Should we go film the video later?" Wu Yan's face broke into a lecherous grin.

"Yeah, let me know when, and I'll personally do the filming."

When it comes to taking photos and shooting video, I, Ahua, am the expert!

After the plan was settled, the subsequent actions proceeded quickly.

To ensure Wang Bainian would fall for the trap, Wu Yan specially went to Qiankun Film and Television Company and borrowed a petite adult‑film actress from Fei Zai Hui.

She's pretty good‑looking, and her figure is indeed excellent.

Most importantly, she can act!

Besides, the adult films Fei Zai Hui made while working under Jingkun weren't widely circulated, so a tycoon like Wang Bainian would hardly have seen them, and we don't have to worry about him recognizing her.

Ahua expressed satisfaction with Wu Yan's choice of actress.

That afternoon they prepared to stage a "hero saves the beauty" scene for Wang Bainian.

The actress was being chased by a thug, and she happened to bump into Wang Bainian as he was leaving a restaurant after dinner, then she turned to him for help.

"Sir, please help me—someone's chasing me!"

At that moment, one of Ahua's arranged lackeys ran after the actress from behind and reached around Wang Bainian to grab her from behind.

The two of them then surrounded Wang Bainian, beginning a cat‑and‑mouse chase.

Wang Bainian had no intention of getting involved, but with the two of them constantly circling him, he couldn't just walk away.

Just as he was about to leave forcefully, he suddenly thought, "Hey? This girl is quite a looker!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop!"

Wang Bainian bellowed at the thug in front of him: "What are you doing? In broad daylight, don't cause trouble!"

"Damn, who do you think you are? If it's none of your business, get lost!" The thug showed no respect for Wang Bainian and shoved him.

Seeing this, Wang Bainian's driver rushed over and stepped between him and the thug to separate them.

"Sir, please help me—I don't know him!"

The actress clung to Wang Bainian's arm, pleading timidly.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Wang Bainian instantly felt his heroic spirit surge.

"Didn't you hear they don't know you? If you're abducting women on the street, believe me—I'll call the police right away!"

"Fine, you wait for me!"

Perhaps frightened by Wang Bainian's threat to call the police, or perhaps noticing his driver nearby, the thug could only spit out a harsh remark and walk away.

After the little thugs walked away, Xiao Yanxing finally let go of Wang Baiwan's arm and bowed to him: "Thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, I'd be in trouble."

As Xiao Yanxing bowed, Wang Baiwan peered through her collar and saw a expanse of white; his eyes nearly popped out.

After Xiao Yanxing stood up, a flicker of regret crossed Wang Baiwan's eyes: "No problem, are you okay? Anywhere hurt? Want me to take you to the hospital?"

"No, no thanks." Xiao Yanxing quickly waved her hand to refuse.

According to the plan, she was just giving Wang Baiwan a small hook today; she wouldn't go all the way.

To catch, one must first let go—that's the kingly way.

"Um... this sir..." Xiao Yanxing awkwardly rubbed the corner of her clothes and whispered, "My wallet was taken by that guy just now; could you lend me a few dozen bucks to get home?"

After saying that, Xiao Yanxing, worried Wang Baiwan might misunderstand, quickly added: "Leave me your contact, and I'll pay you back tomorrow."

Wang Baiwan pompously pulled out his wallet, took out a few hundred-yuan notes with the golden cow design, and shoved them into Xiao Yanxing's hand: "Here, don't worry about paying me back. This little bit of money means nothing to me."

Dozens of meters away, Ahua and Wu Ying, hiding in a car, watched this scene through binoculars.

Especially after the two exchanged contact information, Ahua could barely keep the smile from his lips.

"Finally hooked him!"

Wu Ying, meanwhile, looked indignant: "This Wang Baiwan is quite picky! Earlier, those few girls were pretty cute too, but he wouldn't even lend them five bucks!"
