Ling Xue felt a surge of excitement upon hearing the introduction about the Charm Skill, realizing it might be the perfect solution to break the current deadlock. Taking a deep breath, she tightened her grip on her phone, feeling a mix of nervousness and determination as she dialed Hei Hu's number. The ringing echoed in her ears, each tone striking her heart and quickening her pulse.
"Hello?" Hei Hu's rough voice came through the receiver, laced with a hint of impatience.
Ling Xue quickly composed herself, softening her tone to sound both delicate and slightly aggrieved. "Tiger Brother, it's me, Ling Xue."
"Oh, it's you! What made you think to call me?" Hei Hu replied, surprise evident in his voice.
"Tiger Brother, you haven't come to see me in days. Your sister has missed you," Ling Xue said, infusing her words with just the right amount of playful reproach. Inside, however, she was anxious, fearing that Hei Hu might detect her underlying tension.
On the other end of the line, Hei Hu chuckled lightly. "I've been really busy lately; there’s just too much going on."
Ling Xue bit her lip, sensing that the moment was right. "Tiger Brother," she continued, "you mentioned before that you wanted me to be your woman. After thinking it over, I've decided to agree. But first, you need to promise me something: I want ten thousand each month. If you do that, I won’t have to worry about my loan anymore. Also, please cancel my contract at work; I really don’t like it there."
There was a brief silence on the line before Hei Hu responded with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Ten thousand is too much. Just give me five thousand for now. As for your loan interest, you can skip that; just pay me back five thousand in total. You don’t have to work if you don’t want to. If you can come over tonight and keep me company, that would be great."
Ling Xue's heart sank; she hadn’t expected him to be so difficult to negotiate with. Gritting her teeth, she pressed on. "But Tiger Brother, my loan is only five thousand! The fees are so high; I’d be at a loss."
Hei Hu snorted dismissively. "Those fees are standard practice; you know that as well as I do. How about this: for the first month, you keep me company and we’ll waive everything else. If that doesn’t work for you, then forget it; I’m not that desperate."
Furrowing her brow in thought, Ling Xue realized she couldn’t give up so easily. She adopted a softer tone again. "Tiger Brother, how about this? My heart has always been with you; it’s just this loan is weighing heavily on me. I promise I’ll be good company for the first month if you can help me reduce my loan by a bit more—maybe waive another thousand? I’ll pay back the remaining four thousand slowly. You’re so capable; surely this little amount doesn’t bother you?"
After a moment of contemplation on his end, Hei Hu finally replied with a smirk in his voice. "You’re quite the negotiator! Alright then, since you're being so reasonable, I'll let it slide down to four thousand for you to pay back later. But that's my final offer—no more discussions."
Though Ling Xue still felt unsatisfied with the deal, she knew better than to push too hard. She quickly responded with enthusiasm: "Oh Tiger Brother, you're so generous! I knew you cared for me the most! Let’s make sure we stick to our agreement; please handle those contract issues for me. I’ll dress up nicely and come over tonight—just wait for me!"
"Haha! Of course! Just don’t stand me up; otherwise it won’t be pretty," Hei Hu chuckled before hanging up.
As Ling Xue listened to the busy signal after he hung up, she exhaled deeply while her hands trembled slightly from nerves. She knew this call had temporarily secured her position with Hei Hu and opened up an opportunity to get closer to him. However, the challenges ahead filled her with anxiety and fear.
Yet thinking of her mission and those sisters still suffering at the club reignited her resolve. She clenched her fists tightly and silently encouraged herself—no matter what happened next, she had to extract useful information from Hei Hu without giving up halfway.
She quickly relayed the details of her conversation with Hei Hu to Ling Na. The two of them huddled together and meticulously planned how they would handle the evening ahead—strategizing ways to cleverly extract information about that scoundrel Dai Dong from Hei Hu’s lips while ensuring no detail was overlooked. After all, their ability to truly escape their predicament and expose the club’s evils depended on it.
