Chapter 247 Focus
That night, in the bustling lobby of Zuiyue Tower, people came and went in an endless stream, their eyes pointing towards the second floor as accurately as a compass.
There, a woman named Bingbing was sitting gracefully by the railing, attracting everyone's attention.
Although Beiyou City is densely populated and full of brothels, with many beautiful women among them, a woman with a beauty as stunning as Bingbing is extremely rare.
Inside the hall, people looked up, all attracted by her beauty, as if they had lost their souls.
Their eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. At this moment, Bingbing became the focus of the entire Zuiyue Tower.
Seeing this scene, the madam was naturally delighted.
She was busy shuttling between the guests, sometimes asking them to order wine and food, sometimes accepting tips from the guests, and the smile on her face was like a blooming flower.
Bingbing's appearance broke the peace of Zuiyue Tower. Although she was alone, she stole the limelight from all the girls, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the other girls.
Among them, the three older girls could not suppress their anger and walked straight to Bingbing with provocative eyes.
The girl in yellow in the middle widened her eyes and said in a sharp tone: "Little girl, are you deliberately trying to steal our sisters' jobs?"
Hearing this, Bingbing just turned her head slightly and glanced at her lightly, as if the other person was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
This attitude undoubtedly angered the girl in yellow even more. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Seeing that Bingbing was just sitting on the narrow railing, she came up with an idea and fell towards Bingbing as if she had deliberately lost her balance. She then pushed Bingbing's back hard with her hand, trying to push her off the railing.
If Bingbing was really pushed off the railing, she would be seriously injured even if she didn't die...
Just as the fingertips of the woman in yellow were about to touch Bingbing's back, Bingbing quickly reached back and clamped the other person's wrist tightly.
She turned her face slightly, staring coldly at the woman in yellow, without a trace of emotion in her words: "I don't want to hit a woman. If you want to die, I don't mind fulfilling your wish."
As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her arm lightly, as if casually, but the force was like a mountain pressing down on her head, making it difficult for the woman in yellow to bear it. She staggered backwards involuntarily.
The two companions behind him tried to support him, but they were also pushed back by the sudden force.
When they stood firm, there was an expression of disbelief and horror on their faces.
The woman in yellow unconsciously examined her wrist and saw five obvious fingerprints on it. She looked up at Bingbing in shock, her eyes full of fear.
At this moment, Bingbing's eyes were also fixed on her, with a sharp and cold light flashing in her eyes, as if it was the gaze of a beast from the deep forest, which made people feel afraid.
The woman in yellow shuddered at the threat and hurriedly fled with her companions.
Bingbing then withdrew her gaze, and the eyes that were originally filled with murderous intent dissipated and turned into a bottomless pool again.
Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door and a group of people rushed in.
The leading man was about thirty years old, of medium build, and had nothing special in his appearance, but his eyes were like a cunning fox, constantly moving around, revealing an indescribable evil spirit.
When the madam saw the man, she immediately came up to him with a smile and greeted him warmly, "Oh, Master Chen, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you all night!"
The middle-aged man laughed with his head raised. He was Chen Ye, the lord of Beiyou City.
Chen Ye glanced around the hall and exclaimed sincerely: "Zuiyuelou is quite prosperous today!"
"This is all thanks to you, sir." The madam responded with a smile and arranged a seat for him.
Chen Ye's followers consciously surrounded him. They had stern faces and scanned the surrounding environment sharply.
"I heard that a new girl came to Zuiyue Tower today?" Chen Ye asked curiously.
"So the master has also heard about this." The madam chuckled twice and pointed to the second floor, "Miss Bingbing is there."
Chen Ye looked in the direction she pointed, his gaze fixed on Bingbing who was sitting on the railing.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted and he didn't want to look away for a long time without blinking.
The madam was no longer surprised by such reactions.
Bingbing is indeed the kind of woman who makes people stunning when they first meet her and even more charming when they see her again, as if one can never get enough of her beauty.
After a long time, Chen Ye's eyes were still on Bingbing.
Seeing him like this, the madam couldn't help but smile slightly, gently put her hand on his shoulder, and asked softly, "Master Chen, what do you think of Miss Bingbing?"
Chen Ye suddenly woke up from his dream, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart. He had seen countless women in his life, but no one was as beautiful and breathtaking as Bingbing.
He secretly marveled in his heart, swallowed his saliva, reluctantly turned his gaze away, tried to make himself look calm, turned to the madam and asked: "My lady, may I ask your name?"
"Her name is Bingbing," the madam replied.
Chen Ye smiled slightly and praised: "Bingbing, your name is just like her, pure as ice and jade, with a pure soul."
He turned to the madam and said with a firm look, "Tonight, I want Miss Bingbing's company. Not only that, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even every night in the future, I hope to spend it with her."
The madam showed an awkward smile on her face and said slowly, "Master Chen, Miss Bingbing only sells her art and not her body."
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He took out a banknote from his pocket, slapped it on the table without hesitation, and asked, "Is that enough?"
The madam's eyes were focused on the table, where a gleaming silver note worth one hundred taels lay quietly.
She waved her hands quickly, with a humble smile on her face: "Sir, I am not joking. Miss Bingbing really doesn't sell her body."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ye waved his hand violently, and another banknote fell on the table like a fallen leaf. He asked coldly, "Now, is it enough?"
The madam's eyes were instantly attracted by the newly added silver note of one hundred taels, and her heart began to beat like a drum.
She spoke incoherently, her voice trembling: "Sir, this... this is really..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ye made another move. He slammed the third 100-liang silver note on the table. His smile was a bit grim: "Madam, you and I have known each other for a long time, and we know each other's details very well. I can make your Zuiyue Tower flourish in the city, but I can also make you lose your place overnight. Do you really want to try my tricks?"
The madam was frightened by these words and shuddered. She no longer dared to hesitate and hurriedly put the three banknotes on the table into her sleeves. She forced a flattering smile and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and ask Miss Bingbing to come down."
After saying that, she turned around hurriedly and rushed up the stairs.
The madam quickly approached Bingbing and whispered with a smile on her face, "Bingbing, our place is very honored tonight. We have a special guest."
Then, she signaled to Bingbing and gently pointed downstairs with her finger, whispering: "That person is the famous Lord Chen of Beiyou City."
Hearing this, Bingbing's eyes moved down and happened to meet Chen Ye's burning gaze.
As soon as Chen Ye saw her eyes that were as clear as autumn water, his heartstrings were suddenly plucked, as if he was hit by an electric current, and an inexplicable throbbing surged throughout his body.
He stood up without hesitation and stepped onto the stairs leading upstairs, eager to get close to the beauty.
