Chapter 60 Tricking Leng Mei (1)

Leng Mei’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as she confronted Zhang Wei. “Do you even know what nonsensical gibberish you’re spouting?” she demanded, her voice laced with annoyance.

Zhang Wei let out a soft chuckle before turning to the System, his mind racing with possibilities.

‘Hey, is there any way to remotely control Leng Yan?’ he asked, his voice low and conspiratorial.

[… Like some kind of robot?]

Zhang Wei’s eyes lit up with excitement as he nodded eagerly. ‘Yes,’ he whispered to himself, a grin spreading across his face.

[That would be 20 points for one-time use, host], the System interjected, its voice ringing through Zhang Wei’s mind.

Zhang Wei’s face twisted in frustration at the steep price, but he knew he had no other choice.

He didn’t want to wake up Leng Yan, but he needed to control her body remotely.

But why doesn’t he want to wake her up?

Zhang Wei couldn’t bear to let Leng Yan know that she was being used as a pawn against Leng Mei just yet.

He needed to keep his cards close to his chest until he was ready to strike.

Using them for petty tasks like this can destroy their usability.

He remembered how the System had been plagued with restrictions when it first arrived, but after some intense arguments with Zhang Wei, many of its features were unlocked.

Now, Zhang Wei knew that he had to act quickly and decisively.

He couldn’t bargain with the System anymore, so he reluctantly sacrificed his precious villain points to achieve his goals.

Leng Mei’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched Leng Yan’s bizarre behavior.

Fear and confusion gripped her as she tried to make sense of what was happening.

Her eyes darted to Zhang Wei, who was muttering to himself in the corner, his face twisted with an expression of sinister glee.

“What’s going on?” Leng Mei’s voice shook with fear as she watched Leng Yan descend the stairs.

But all her shock turned to terror as Leng Yan picked up a knife and held it to her own throat.

“What are you doing, Yan?” Leng Mei’s voice was a desperate plea, her eyes wide with fear. “Put down the knife.”

But Leng Yan was unresponsive, her eyes glowing with a soulless, otherworldly light.

Leng Mei felt her stomach churn with dread as she watched Leng Yan strange, unsettling behavior.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei stepped forward with a wicked grin on his face.

“Now, do you understand what I mean?” he asked, his hand reaching for Leng Yan’s waist like a twisted embrace.

Leng Mei’s blood ran cold as she watched the scene unfold before her.

She knew that something was very wrong, and that they were all in grave danger.

Her heart raced with panic as she tried to figure out what to do next.

Leng Mei’s eyes bulged out in horror as she glared at Zhang Wei. “What have you done to her?” she demanded, her voice laced with fear and anger.

Zhang Wei laughed, a sinister sound that sent shivers down Leng Mei’s spine.

“I haven’t done anything yet, but if you don’t stop that flow of qi behind you, then your daughter might as well be better off dead,” he replied, his eyes glinting with malice.

Leng Mei’s frown deepened, and her expression turned dark.

She clenched her fists, one of which was earlier glowing with an eerie blue light.

As Zhang Wei warned her, the energy dissipated from her hand, leaving her feeling helpless and vulnerable.

“Good girl,” Zhang Wei remarked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Leng Mei’s face twitched in anger and frustration. 𝒐𝗏𝑙xt.𝒞𝒪𝓶

“What do you want?” she demanded, her voice trembling with rage.

Zhang Wei chuckled menacingly, and sent Leng Yan back to her room. Leng Mei sighed in relief, but her eyes never left Zhang Wei’s face.

“Don’t even think about it. If I die, your daughter dies with me,” he clarified, his voice cold and calculated.

Leng Mei gritted her teeth in anger and frustration.

“Fine. Just tell me what you want to release her,” she spat out, her eyes blazing with fury.

“Do you really believe I would release her?” Zhang Wei asked with a cruel smile, his eyes gleaming with malice.

Leng Mei turned silent, her mind racing as she tried to think of a way to save her daughter from this evil man.

Leng Mei’s face contorted with anguish as she pleaded, “Take me instead of her!”

Her eyes were wild with desperation, and her voice quivered with fear.

Zhang Wei, who had been a brash and overconfident man only moments before, was taken aback by Leng Mei’s sudden change in demeanor.

Her dark expression and trembling voice left him stunned and unsure.

With time running out, he had contemplated taking advantage of Leng Mei’s vulnerability and forcing her to engage in a sexual act.

However, her offer made him pause and contemplate the potential consequences of his actions.

A devious grin spread across Zhang Wei’s face as he realized the benefits of Leng Mei’s proposal.

“Agreed!” he exclaimed, with a twisted sense of excitement in his voice.

Initially, he had thought of enslaving her, but then he doubted whether Leng Yan was worth that much to Leng Mei or not.

These types of questions might seem ridiculous to normal people.

Like, which idiot in their right mind would think something like, ‘Hey, that mother must not care enough about her child. What if blackmailing her backfires?’

These strange thoughts only arrive in the mind of excessively rationalized people like Zhang Wei.

For the same reason, he thought he would only tease Leng Mei by getting a blowjob from her, ultimately showing her that he held authority over her choices before eventually letting her go.

But now that the prey itself wanted to be caught, how can Zhang Wei decline?

And what about freeing Leng Yan?

When did Zhang Wei start taking orders from his slaves?

Haha… Leng Mei was foolish to believe that Zhang Wei would keep his end of the bargain.

The poor woman was about to fall into his trap.

Zhang Wei has thought of a very interesting new plan to capture this woman.

His mind has finally started to work on the right track as he changed his approach from brute force to a more manipulative one.

Inside Leng Yan’s room…

Leng Yan stumbled back into her room, feeling like she was in a daze.

Suddenly, she jolted awake as consciousness returned to her face.

Confused and disoriented, she whispered to herself, “What…? Wasn’t I sleeping? Did I sleepwalk?”

As she tried to make sense of what was happening, a voice transmission from Zhang Wei interrupted her thoughts.

[Leng Mei is my slave now. If you want to make sure I don’t kill her, do as I say…]

Those words hit Leng Yan like a ton of bricks, sending a chill down her spine and making her face turn ashen. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing – Leng Mei, enslaved by the ruthless Zhang Wei.

“Zhang Wei!?” she muttered, the memories flooding back and her face contorting with rage and disgust.

In the kitchen, Leng Mei shot Zhang Wei a strange look. “I don’t feel any changes in my body,” she said with a perplexed expression.

Zhang Wei smiled, knowing that the bond was complete even if Leng Mei couldn’t feel it.

Leng Mei let out a heavy sigh and gazed at Zhang Wei with a mix of emotions. “How do I address you now? Master?” she inquired with a taunting smile.

Zhang Wei chuckled. “Daddy would be better,” he replied in a playful tone.

Leng Mei was taken aback and fell silent, unable to comprehend Zhang Wei’s level of shamelessness.

Suddenly, Leng Mei remembered the original deal and turned to Zhang Wei with a determined look. She took a deep breath and spoke, “Now free Yan!” Her voice was firm and unwavering as she demanded he fulfill his end of the bargain.

Zhang Wei stared at her intently, making Leng Mei feel uneasy. She could sense the weight of his gaze upon her.

Feeling uneasy, Leng Mei asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Her voice was laced with a hint of anxiety, and she couldn’t help but feel disturbed by his intense gaze.

Zhang Wei suddenly lifted a brow and smirked mischievously. “Free whom?” he asked, his voice teasing.

Leng Mei’s eyes widened in shock. ‘Did he lie to me?’ she thought to herself, a sense of dread washing over her.

She realized that she had trusted Zhang Wei’s words without any assurance.

Cursing herself for being so gullible, Leng Mei glared at Zhang Wei, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

Zhang Wei chuckled. “You’re really quite gullible, aren’t you?” he said with a smirk.

His words only fueled Leng Mei’s anger. She gritted her teeth and spoke through clenched jaws.

“Free Yan, Zhang Wei! You can’t go back on your word like this!”

Zhang Wei shook his head lazily. “Free Leng Yan? When was she ever captured that I can free her?” he retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

“I don’t care, you promised-” Leng Mei began to protest before she suddenly stopped mid-sentence as she realized the true meaning of his words.

“What did you say again?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
