Chapter 40 - Philanthropist Philanderer!

Led by Xiao Wuming, He Xiong entered the VIP Box 4.

Inside the box, a bald, greasy middle-aged man was hugging two beauties, left and right, enjoying their soft bodies leaning on him. The two beauties were diligently serving drinks and food to him.

Upon noticing their arrival, he looked over and sneered. "Oh? Look who it is! My dear friend, He Xiong!"

He Xiong didn't respond, just kept his usual smiling face. Wang Cai seemed to realise something and said to his assistant. "Xiao Wuming, you can leave."

"Yes, boss."

Only after Xiao Wuming left did He Xiong's gentle smile turn gloomy.

"Wang Cai... You are just as disgusting as before."

"Same goes for you, no less hypocritical than ever." Wang Cai taunted back and gestured for the beauty on his left to go serve He Xiong.

"Ahh~"

He Xiong wasn't polite either. Under the beauty's exclamation, he grabbed her and made her sit on his lap. The woman felt a little disgusted in her heart, but kept smiling on the surface, looking subservient.

"Tsk~ Tsk~ You lustful fella. You pretend to be a kind philanthropist everywhere. Why don't you keep your facade when tricking or coercing beauties to bed?" Wang Cai looked at him with disdain.

He Xiong didn't mind his words and said while rubbing the beauty's thigh.

"I need that persona for tricking fools into sending me money."

He wasn't worried about these women exposing him. He knew they were all under Wang Cai's control.

"Embezzling donations, eh!" Wang Cai didn't show any surprise on his face as he had already guessed it. He seemed to have thought of something and asked. "Oh, right! Didn't, a few days ago, someone donate a huge amount of money to your trust?"

"How do you know about that?" He Xiong's face darkened, thinking of whether Wang Cai had placed his men around him.

"Don't overthink. I just heard it from your mistress." When talking about this. Wang Cai couldn't help but show a greasy smile. "She was amazing!"

He Xiong didn't get angry at his words. After all, it was he who had let his mistress accompany Wang Cai to arrange this meeting.

Not seeing the response he had been expecting, Wang Cai felt bored. So, he asked casually. "Who was that sucker who donated the money?"

He Xiong didn't bother to hide it. "The princess of the Yang Family, Yang Qingxi. She donated 10 million."

"Tch~ No wonder." Wang Cai felt there was no point in continuing this meaningless conversation.

"So then, tell me. Why did you want us to meet? I mean, you even let your mistress sleep with me. It must be something important, right?" Wang Cai asked, seemingly a little interested.

He Xiong also became serious as he said in a grim tone.

"Someone wants to kill us. I want to know who is behind this?"

"Kill us? Or just you?" Wang Cai sneered.

"You knew." He Xiong wasn't surprised in the least. Nor worried that his lie was exposed. That's because, through Wang Cai's words, he was certain he could get the information he wanted.

Wang Cai lit a cigar and took a puff.

"It's someone from above. They want to replace you."

"Why?" He Xiong became angry and asked through gritted teeth. "I followed all their orders and--"

"Did you?" Wang Cai interrupted him. "Don't forget, your supply couldn't meet the demand for the last three quarters."

He Xiong sighed with a helpless look. "There's nothing I can do. It has become difficult to harvest goods nowadays."

Wang Cai blew out a smoke ring and said, "That's not my problem. Either increase the supply to double from the next quarter or wait for death."

"Fine, I'll do it." He Xiong felt a little irritated but nodded at the end.

Wang Cai showed a satisfied smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll relay your message. Your bounty should be removed by tomorrow."

"That's good."

He Xiong nodded, satisfied with the result. The gloom on his face dissipated quickly.

"Then, you take your time here. I'm going to the hotel first."

Since the talk was over. Wang Cai couldn't wait to take the beauty in his arms. Because of his gentlemanly nature, he didn't forget to leave the other beauty for He Xiong.

He Xiong didn't show any signs of refusal. Instead, said with a straight face. "I'll escort this lady back."

Wang Cai chuckled. "You lustful fella, stop pretending."

He Xiong sipped the wine served to him by the beauty and said, "Lustful is such a niche word. I would rather you refer to me as 'Philanthropist Philanderer'."

"Tsk."

Wang Cai gave him a disdainful look and waved his hand. Unable to bear listening to his nonsense anymore. He left in haste, along with the beauty.

He Xiong ignored his actions and focused on groping all over the beauty's soft areas.

What none of them noticed was that in such a high-end bar, that too in the VIP box, there was an additional mosquito floating above.

Even stranger was that this mosquito looked like it was eavesdropping on their conversation.

In fact, it was!

Outside the box, in the regular area of the bar. Su Mo had an amused smile on his face as he munched on the snacks in his hand.

"Did something happen?" Yang Qingxi asked, seeing the change in his expression. From his inner voice, she already knew that Su Mo was using his special technique to find the information.

"Nothing much, just two perverts discussing their perversion."

Su Mo responded with a nonchalant smile. Then, as if he thought of something, he suggested. "Next time, check twice before donating to charity."

"Huh?" Yang Qingxi's brows furrowed. "What charity? I didn't—Wait!" She was a little confused. Then the realisation struck her. It seemed… that maybe… she had donated some money in a bad mood some time ago.

Her brows furrowed even deeper, and her expression turned ugly.

"Did the money go to him?"

"10 million," Su Mo nodded and chuckled. "Boss, since you have so much money to waste. Why not give me some?"

Yang Qingxi gave him a silent glare. She turned on her phone and sent a message.

Su Mo knew she must be messaging her secretary. However, that's none of his business. He said that just as a joke.

Though he wouldn't mind if she sent him 10 million.

While dreaming of earning extra money, he couldn't help looking in the direction of Dong Xumao.

[What a miserable dude. *Sigh*]
