"Well, I tried it." In the guest room, William stood alone by the window and said to his mobile phone, "The hypnotism learned from books is still too limited in effect. It's barely okay to use it as a formula, but it needs to be strong to change a person. It’s almost impossible to think or act.”

"Is that so?" Bai Qirun on the other end of the phone was not surprised.

"So, in order to increase the winning rate against the organization, the reward for task five is a must."

The time left for him is running out...

"Sorry, I can only wrong classmate Xiaoying this time. To make up for it, I can voluntarily give up a round of rewards for the next mission six."

"It's better not to talk too early," Bai Qirun said leisurely as he tapped on the keyboard, "According to the usual game routine, the reward of mission six will only be more attractive than mission five, and that reward—"

A line of text popped up on the computer screen in front of him, and Bai Qirun was stunned for a moment: "I guess you both want it."

Seeing that William was not curious to ask, he immediately felt a little disappointed, and said lazily, "Speaking of which, where did that pig teammate go?"

"You mean classmate Xiaoying? She went out to find a job."

"... This stupid woman is really getting more and more slack, has she actually given up staring at you 24 hours a day?"

"After all, living expenses are more urgent for her." William smiled. "By the way, just right, can you help me find out where she is now? I called her several times in the morning but couldn't get through. I don’t know if I’ll be back for dinner at noon. I’m about to go out and look for it.”

"Going out to find someone in this hot weather..." Bai Qirun's eyes slowly moved out of the window, "You are really a warrior."

The noon sun poured down, fell on the blue sea, and shattered into thousands of blazing long swords, stabbing people so hard that they could barely open their eyes.The air is also baked so hot that it feels like being in an oven.

Even so, the seaside is still full of people.

Colorful sun umbrellas bloomed wantonly on the beach. Under the umbrellas, men lying on beach chairs, under the cover of sunglasses, looked at the women coming and going.Girls with good figures wear bright and revealing swimsuits, in groups of twos and threes, enthusiastically chatting up rich or handsome strange men.

He remembered that the last time he saw a scene like this was in the sky swimming pool of the hotel. At that time, there were far fewer people, and the atmosphere was completely different. At any rate, there were many parents and children playing in the water and professional practitioners in the hotel pool. It's all about flirting hormones.

People in this day and age are really...

William withdrew his gaze slightly uncomfortably.

Fortunately, this time, Xiaoying and I didn't come to the beach to play. Besides the mission, she also had to work part-time, so she probably didn't have time to dress like this.Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to adapt to her dressing style.

"Hey, handsome guy, are you alone?" Four girls in swimsuits carrying swimming rings came forward, "Do you want to play with us?"

One of the girls in a sky blue bikini whispered to her companion, "Look carefully, it looks like a foreigner!"

William noticed that the girl was somewhat similar to Du Ruoying, especially her hairstyle, and was taken aback for a moment.

They mistakenly thought that he was stunned because he could not understand Chinese, so they asked him again in English, which they were not proficient in.

He had no choice but to smile politely, and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still have something to do, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you." Seeing that they half understood and half didn't understand, he said it again in Chinese, and he said it again. left.

Behind them, they were still discussing excitedly.

"Whoa, what a handsome foreigner, who can also speak Chinese!"

"It's a pity that he doesn't seem interested in us."

"Who said that?! I just found out that he has been secretly paying attention to Xiao Lin when he is talking."

"really?"

"real!"

"Then next time we meet again, send Xiao Lin to lead the charge!"

On the other side, following the location given by Bai Qirun, William came to a coffee house.

The business of this store is very good, even the hot outside area is full of people, not to mention the cool air-conditioned interior.

After a little observation, it is not difficult to find the reason for its good business: the waiters in the store are all young, beautiful and sweet women. of male customers come to sit down.

For the price of a cup of coffee, you can stay here all day, surrounded by a group of beautiful girls in scantily clad clothes.And these women, if they were in normal times, they would never even look at them directly, but here, they would be ordered around by them, and they would show them sweet smiles of respect.

No matter how you think about it, it is a very cost-effective consumption.

William found that most customers had the above thoughts.He scanned the seats calmly, but he didn't see Xiaoying everywhere. If he wasn't drinking coffee here, then——

She won't find a part-time job and come here...

"Welcome! How many are you?" A waiter in a lemon yellow bikini came to him, glanced behind him, and then handed him a number plate, "One, right? I'm really sorry , there are no vacant seats, could you please wait for a few minutes?"

William took the number plate silently, and was about to think about what to do next, when he received a message from Bai Qirun on his mobile phone: "You can go through the back door, in the staff lounge."

Immediately afterwards, he added: "Where the phone is, I don't know who it is."

This sentence reminded him——

That's right, it's also possible that she left her mobile phone here and was picked up by the waiter for safekeeping.

But how likely is that?

She is penniless, not busy looking for a job, but sitting idle in such an expensive coffee shop, and it is also such a coffee shop for male customers, it is impossible to think about it.

Unless she took the initiative to accept the strike-up and treats of strange men...

However, with her level of self-awareness, if she didn't have other purposes in mind, the possibility of such a thing is not very great.

"May I use your restroom before I get in the queue?" William asked the waiter.

Facing such a polite and harmless blond young man with a pure smile, the waiter was not at all wary, she nodded enthusiastically: "Yes, just turn left at the end over there."

"Thank you."

William walked in, and when no one was paying attention to him, he turned his head and walked towards the staff lounge.

When he came to the door, he heard some movement from inside, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in." The person inside said.

William recognized Du Ruoying's voice. He hesitated for a moment, his Adam's apple moved up and down almost imperceptibly, then slowly turned the doorknob, pushed the door open a little, and leaned in cautiously.

Seeing that Du Ruoying was well dressed, no different from how she looked when she went out in the morning, with a blue drawstring collar top and a beige linen skirt, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?" Du Ruoying was suspicious.

"I couldn't get through to your phone, so I came here." He noticed that she had an extra cloth bag in her hand.

"Ah, so..." Du Ruoying raised her handbag embarrassingly, "I was busy with interviews this morning, so I didn't bring my phone with me, sorry."

"Interview?" William's nerves, which had just been relaxed, tensed up again, "Here?"

"That's right. Don't worry, it's over. I was about to go back to find you, but you came here unexpectedly." She walked up to him and handed him a tissue, "Is it hot outside? You've been out a lot sweat."

William took the tissue and caught a glimpse of the bright scene in the bag from the corner of his eye. His guess was confirmed, and he couldn't help but sighed softly: "Are you really going to work part-time here?"

"What's the problem?"

When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back suddenly, because she suddenly remembered—he must have passed through many bikinis all the way to come here.For modern people, there is nothing to make a fuss about, but for this noble young master of the old era, it is too exciting.Although he is a leader in the criminal world and has seen all the big scenes, it was only limited to the conservative 19th century-the era when girls who went out in pants were considered obscene.In that era, girls were supposed to be stuck in bloated tunic dresses with no ankles exposed, let alone legs and waists?

Just as the Indians were unable to resist the smallpox brought by the colonists, their resistance to modern civilization must also be weak.

It's really hard for him to pretend to be so calm...

She suddenly realized that she laughed, and it took a long time to stop: "There is no way, do you think I want to? But only here is high."

"What's your bottom line?" William said speechlessly.

"Oh, you're right," Du Ruoying showed a heartbroken and remorseful expression, "It's true that you can make more money if you run out of money, but if the bottom line is gone—"

"Then you'll earn even more!" With a smirk on her face, she took out a set of cherry pink bikini from her handbag, and waved it triumphantly in front of him, as if waving a victory flag.

"That...is too dangerous." William turned his face away, "You have also noticed the malicious eyes of those customers."

"You think too much. Today is a society ruled by law, and this store has been open for so long, and I haven't heard of anything happening. How can there be so many dangers?"

"If it's for money, I can help you solve it, just treat it as a reward for helping me complete so many tasks. So this job..."

"I don't want your money!" Du Ruoying refused decisively.

Regardless of whether the money is legally clean or not, if the source of living expenses falls into his hands, who knows if he will use this economic lifeline to threaten himself in the future and make her do things she doesn't want to do?

For things like money, it must be the most reassuring thing that you earn yourself!

"Is working in a coffee shop more dangerous than taking money from Napoleon in the criminal world? I read a lot, so don't try to lie to me!" She snorted coldly.

"Do you have to be so willful, classmate Xiaoying?"

"Do you have to be so conservative, Mr. Moriarty?"

She walked around in front of him again, stood on tiptoe, and rubbed his ears with her hand: "What you said was for my sake, but in fact, it was simply because I was afraid that my 200-year-old heart would not be able to bear it? Look at you , the tips of my ears are hot."

In fact, she deliberately rubbed it to heat it up.

At this moment, William no longer had absolute confidence in his self-control, and after being ridiculed by her in a few words, the corners of his eyes actually turned a faint blush.This made Du Ruoying suddenly have an illusion, as if if he bullied him a few more times, he would melt into a puddle of water.

"No," William was still trying to organize his words, "I just... don't want other people to covet you with that kind of eyes... that's all."

It was the first time seeing him showing such a bewildered side, he seemed to be really worried about her.This made Du Ruoying feel a little guilty.

It's all said for this sake, if you continue to bully him, it seems too much.

She was sure that even if he was tortured to the point of collapse with the cruelest punishment in the world, he would never show such a weak appearance even for a moment.However, at this moment, he is like a clam that has lost its hard shell, revealing the softest and most fragile emotions in his heart.That pitiful appearance makes people want to——

"Bully him more..."

She couldn't help being startled when she heard such thoughts coming from deep in her heart.
