The Swindler Sect’s Eight Generals.

Divided into the strategies of direct confrontation, evasion, fanning flames, and dispelling rumors.

I’ve previously discussed the generals of confrontation and flames.

Here, I want to talk about the general of evasion.

Some say that this general uses the bluffing strategy and other means to lure people into a trap.

That’s not quite right.

The true general of evasion uses public relations to entice people into the game.

To put it bluntly, it’s the beauty trap.

I hadn’t planned on using Chen Xiaoxue.

But I had no one else available.

The only suitable candidate was her.

“There’s a game that needs your cooperation, will you do it?”

I asked indifferently.

Chen Xiaoxue didn’t even think before nodding immediately.

“Do it, of course. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do. As long as it makes money…”

That was one of the few virtues of Chen Xiaoxue, her straightforwardness.

“There’s a game tonight, you and Old Hei are in, I won’t show up. But you need to know my role, I’m a service worker at the Bathing facility. After work, I’m also Old Hei’s attendant and driver…”

Chen Xiaoxue nodded.

“Also, in tonight’s game, you can only lose, not win. As for how much to lose and how to lose, Old Hei will tell you…”

Chen Xiaoxue was initially stunned.

But then she put on an enlightened expression.

“I get it, I get it. Playing the long game to catch the big fish…”

She eagerly boasted to me.

As if she was afraid I wouldn’t include her in the game.

“But you don’t need to lose too much. Later, Old Hei will find an excuse to leave first. But you can’t leave, nor continue playing. Your goal is to hook a man named Li Dabiao. And in the game tomorrow or the day after, you’ll put up money to partner with him, both of you in one hand of cards. Do you understand what I mean?”

What I was asking seemed difficult.

But Chen Xiaoxue had been through the wringer in the world of pleasure.

She definitely had this skill.

Chen Xiaoxue immediately nodded.

But still somewhat puzzled, she asked me:

“But what if he looks down on me like you do?”

Chen Xiaoxue did have some self-awareness.

“Impossible!”

I answered with certainty.

Last night, I had been observing Li Dabiao.

The woman he brought had an ordinary appearance.

And there was little interaction between them.

This indicated that he was only moderately interested in her.

I even had a hunch.

Li Dabiao’s current wealth wasn’t from his small welding tricks.

It’s very likely that the money came from this woman.

And last night, Old Hei even quietly told Li Dabiao.

Not to bring his girlfriend the next day.

After playing cards, they could go out together to find girls.

Li Dabiao was definitely a lecher.

Yesterday in the card room.

Whenever a somewhat attractive woman passed by.

Li Dabiao’s eyes would stick to her as if they couldn’t be pulled away.

He seemed to wish he could strip them with his gaze.

Such a man, I didn’t believe Chen Xiaoxue couldn’t win him over.

“Do I have to sleep with him?”

Chen Xiaoxue asked bluntly.

“Up to you, see for yourself. Just tie him down these next few days…”

Chen Xiaoxue sneered with disdain.

“Then I’ll have to string him along well, can’t let him take advantage of me for nothing. Men are all the same, they only value what they can’t have. Once they get it, they don’t take you seriously…”

Perhaps Chen Xiaoxue felt she had included me in that statement.

She immediately smiled sweetly at me, adding:

“But our Master Chu Liu is an exception…”

I ignored her.

The biggest problem now was the lack of money.

I had already told Old Hei yesterday.

To pawn that Santana 2000 first.

Old Hei was well acquainted with those big-eared guys.

Pawning it for twelve or thirteen thousand wasn’t a problem.

Everything was arranged properly.

I sat in the storeroom, going over my plan again and again.

If something unexpected happened in any link, how I would remedy it.

I had even started designing a second plan.

Near the end of my shift.

The walkie-talkie on the table crackled with the voice of the lounge supervisor.

He told me that the lounge was running low on supplies and asked me to restock now.

Carrying the supplies, I headed towards the lounge.

Inside the lounge.

Apart from a few spotlights in the corners casting dim light.

The rest was pitch black.

The windows were covered with thick curtains.

This facilitated the guests’ rest.

And the Bathing lounge was mixed-gender.

This also led to some unbelievable incidents occurring here.

Like deliberately flirting with a beautiful woman when one sees her.

Or drunkenly getting into the wrong bed.

Even more extreme, some secretly copulated in the lounge for the thrill.

But generally, at this time.

There were hardly any guests in the lounge.

Today was no different.

Only by the wall, a technician was performing a “noblewoman’s leg relaxation” on a woman.

After replacing the supplies, I was about to leave.

Suddenly, I heard the woman softly call out in my direction.

“Is that the little virgin?”

From childhood to adulthood.

Only one person called me that.

And it was a nickname I didn’t like at all.

I pretended not to hear and continued walking.

But the woman was persistent; she even sat up and called out loudly:

“Hey, I’m talking to you, turn around!”

The customer is king.At this moment, if I pretended not to hear, it would be obviously inappropriate.

Turning around, under the dim light,

A heavily made-up face was smiling faintly at me.

This woman was Tao Hua.

The last time I saw her was when she was playing Mahjong in Su Mei’s office.

She and another man were working together, cheating at the game.

But then it was my turn, and I dealt Su Mei a Heavenly win with an All one suit, winning a good sum of her money.

At that time, I was puzzled.

Why, knowing they were cheating, did Su Mei still choose to play with her?

“Come over here, keep me company for a chat, I’m about to die of boredom!”

Tao Hua was a chatterbox.

I had noticed that the last time we played Mahjong.

I had no choice but to walk over.

As soon as I approached, Tao Hua said to me with a grin:

“Little virgin, how about you help Sister loosen her legs?”

“No way!”

I replied indifferently.

“Ugh, if you don’t know, can’t you learn? With that cold face, who are you trying to impress, little virgin?”

Sister Hua seemed not too pleased.

And my brows involuntarily furrowed as I said coldly:

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving!”

“Oh, are you angry now?”

Sister Hua tilted her head to look at me, her face full of mockery.

The masseuse, while massaging her legs, explained on my behalf:

“Sister Hua, don’t be mad, he’s just like that. We’ve never seen him smile…”

I knew the masseuse meant well.

Afraid that I had upset Sister Hua.

But in truth, I didn’t care at all.

Who did she think she was?

As we were talking,

The sound of high heels came from the doorway.

I was all too familiar with that sound.

Without looking back, I knew it was Su Mei.

“Sister Hua, were you getting anxious? I really had something to do today, otherwise I would have been back sooner…”

Su Mei said as she quickly walked towards Tao Hua.

Tao Hua snorted, pretending to be angry:

“I thought you, Su Mei, had become too successful to bother with me…”

I had thought.

Tao Hua was here for a bath and massage.

But now it seemed, she was waiting for Su Mei.
