Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Chapter 249 Meeting Without Recognition

—What the hell?

Even with her excellent upbringing, Bo Bing couldn't help but curse under her breath when faced with such a situation.

He was heading to the entertainment venue on the 83rd floor, but the elevator didn't stop at the floor he wanted. Instead, it stopped on the 60th floor, the bar floor—the group of people in front of him seemed surprised that there would be anyone in the elevator.

The group in front of them was divided into two groups, led by a man and a woman. The two were clearly at odds with each other and maintained a safe distance.

Bo Bing's forehead veins throbbed violently.

The man on the left is tall and wears custom-made casual clothes. He has broad shoulders and long legs, clearly showing his superior physique.

A face that possesses both Eastern and Western beauty, handsome and noble, with short silver-white hair, eyelashes covering light ice-blue pupils, and an aura surrounding him that is more piercing than the coldest winds of Northern Europe.

A mixed-race individual of the Shenzhou Waterfall family and the Rebecca family, a politician from Nordic country B.

The third-generation leader of Chunshuichuan – Pu Shuanglu.

She was also one of Bo Bing's market competitors in her previous life. Although Pu Shuanglu had not yet succeeded Chun Shuichuan as Yibadao at that time, the two had fought each other for market share in the clothing industry.

On the other side, the woman standing there wore a black, high-heeled, slit halter-neck dress, her gaze drawn to the same level as Bo Bing's. A gold tattoo adorned her thigh. Beneath the shadow of her princess-cut bangs were a pair of sharp, dark brown eyes, and ruby ​​earrings swayed on her earlobes, gleaming in the cold light.

The deep V-neck revealed the woman's bronze skin and sensual curves, as agile as a jaguar. From this distance, Bo Bing could clearly see the double snake tattoo in opposite directions at the center of her neckline. What would make most people uncomfortable was that the woman's armbands, calves, and neck were all entwined with writhing snakes—venomous snakes.

This is Lü Shuang, the first female leader of Shuangkou and the supreme commander of the Sand Snake Armed Forces.

Bo Bing's thoughts raced almost instantaneously. The elevator was large, and its decor looked strangely familiar. He wasn't sure if the two men and their bodyguard would take this elevator, so he instinctively moved to a corner.

How did these two end up together?

Bo Bing felt a slight sweat break out on the back of his head.

Damn!

"Lady first."

Pu Shuanglu extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, but Bo Bing could see the impatience beneath his cold exterior.

"Excuse me."

Lu Shuang naturally wouldn't be polite to him at all; her high heels clattered on the cold tiles as if she were going to war.

To Bo Bing's surprise, both of them got on the elevator without pressing a floor number, clearly indicating that their destination was the same. With their respective bodyguards, the five of them made the elevator feel full, even though it was empty.

"Alicia, be quiet."

Lu Shuang sensed the snake's restlessness. These snakes usually don't show such obvious emotions, but today, for some reason, they became clearly uneasy after entering the elevator.

[Balance Technique] Activated.

A cold, electronic voice rang in Bo Bing's ears.

Thin ice is trying to minimize its presence.

But this tactic is obviously ineffective against cold-blooded animals.

As if provoked, the bamboo viper around Lü Shuang's neck shot towards Bo Bing. Since the snake's fangs hadn't been removed, a bite would be fatal to Bo Bing, as the venom would enter her body.

【Capture the Dragon and Throw the Mountain】Activated.

Alpha once again activated its skill without any emotion, and as a result, Thin Ice reacted almost instantly.

Hit the snake seven inches.

Bo Bing's ferocious left hand moved faster than a snake, almost instantly seizing Zhu Yeqing's vital point and throwing it back to Lü Shuang's neck.

As if sensing something, the bamboo viper obediently coiled itself around Lü Shuang's collarbone.

"Sorry, miss, it's just a habit of mine to take action."

Bo Bing nodded to Lü Shuang, then felt the smooth operation of the elevator beneath her feet.

"Very skilled, whose bodyguard are you?"

The one who asked this question was Pu Shuanglu, who was standing to the side. "Haved professional training?"

“Sorry, I’m just a tourist looking for fun,” Bo Bing replied to him from the corner, deliberately speaking in broken Chinese. “I’ve kept snakes before, so I’m quite sensitive to this.”

"Oh... I'm the one who should apologize. Please forgive me."

Lu Shuang stroked the triangular hair that had wrapped around her wrist. "Alicia said: Is it the aura of a kindred spirit? So she just wanted to test you."

Besides himself, there were only a handful of people who received special treatment from Alicia.

The woman soothed the snakes coiling around her, her gaze sharp.

I never expected to run into someone again today.

The elevator doors opened, and Pu Shuanglu stepped out first. As she walked out, she glanced at Bo Bing at the door, as if she were thinking about something.

"I didn't care."

The waiter held the elevator door shut, and Bo Bing walked out from the doorway, managing a weak smile at Lü Shuang.

"Looking forward to meeting your beloved pet," Lü Shuang smiled back at him.

That smile was absolutely captivating and charming.

The waiters, both men and women, were almost stunned; Lü Shuang's trick was almost always effective.

However, it is not effective against thin ice and waterfall frost for the time being.

—This woman.

Bo Bing's lips twitched inwardly.

He pretended not to see the two people's probing gazes and walked towards the sign on his own.

Ah... what a coincidence! Lü Shuang doesn't even need to look for him anymore!

There was even a waterfall of frost and dew delivered right to their door.

I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.

Before she could take two steps, she was blocked by a bald, burly man. This was Lü Shuang's bodyguard. Bo Bing stopped and looked at Lü Shuang with a puzzled expression. But what she saw next was that she found Pu Shuanglu was also looking at her.

The woman's rich fragrance wafted over, and a gold-embossed business card, mixed with the scent, was held between her fingers and gently tucked into the pocket of Bo Bing's jacket. The woman's soft arms wrapped around Bo Bing's shoulders like snakes.

"My contact information."

"Miss...this? Please..." Show some self-respect.

Before Bo Bing could finish speaking, he was entangled by the snake on Lü Shuang's shoulder. He could have shaken it off again, but the current atmosphere told him it was best not to.

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? Do you need to look at the signs?"

Lu Shuang looked at the young man with interest. "Sir, what's your name?"

"ICE, that's my English name."

Bo Bing's face was practically frozen from smiling. Could this be another one of Lü Shuang's targets? She should have known better than to present a messy, disheveled image.

"ICE? Or ICY?"

The woman reached out and put her arm around the young man's waist. "Hehe, your English name... reminds me of a friend."

"friend?"

Pu Shuanglu crossed her arms and sneered sarcastically, "You two seem to have an unbreakable bond."

"Mr. Waterfall, there's no point in you making sarcastic remarks out of jealousy."

Lu Shuang held up the head of the other silver ring in her hand and looked at Bo Bing with a smile. "How strange. Not only Alicia, but even Bob and Click said: I like you very much. This is really strange. I'm starting to like you a little too."

Bo Bing chuckled dryly; he couldn't very well say that the snake recognized him.

Also, it's best if your favor, Chief Lü Shuang, isn't the kind of favor that treats you like snake food.

“Well then, since this is your first time here, and the kids like you so much… I’ll take you to see some fun places,” Lü Shuang said, putting her arm around the young man, her tone suggestive. “This way… you won’t refuse me, will you?”

I wanted to refuse, but who told your bunch of bastards to be so good at recognizing people?

Bo Bing's forehead veins bulged slightly.

If it were just Lü Shuang here, it would be fine, but I didn't expect that Pu Shuanglu is here too. How is he going to get out?

The two looked like they were about to discuss something, so how could he leave now? Putting aside the difficulty of leaving, his face and fake identity would be completely ruined.

Be adaptable.

"It is my honor to have such a beautiful lady as my companion."

Bo Bing gritted his teeth, but because his language was inherently stiff, it didn't seem too abrupt.

"That would be perfect," Lü Shuang said with a smile. "This is one of the top clubs in S country. I can be your temporary guarantor. No matter what you see inside... you have to keep your mouth shut, otherwise..."

Do I have a choice?

Bo Bing blinked. "I know."

A magnificent door stood before them, and a waiter knelt on a luxurious Persian handmade carpet, offering them warm towels.

This is... Bo Bing frowned.

Lü Shuang's red lips parted slightly.

--"Good night."

If Bo Bing knew what lay behind that door, he would have hesitated again, hesitated whether to open this Pandora's box.
