Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Deciding to Take a Risk

It had to be said that in this matter, a woman’s recovery was quite swift, and with the aid of Ji Yang’s True Yuan, Liu Qiushui quickly regained her composure.

Seeing the eyes fixed upon her, this time Liu Qiushui did not close hers, but instead met Ji Yang’s gaze.

"I didn’t expect you to feign drunkenness!" Liu Qiushui had now regained her senses.

Ji Yang smiled, running his hand across her chest, "I also didn’t expect that you’d even drug your own man."

The two then looked at each other.

After a while, Liu Qiushui said, "Everyone thinks you are easily fooled, but now I realize that there must be something extraordinary about someone who can become a leader of the municipal committee."

"I can see that there are issues between you and Fan Guohai, maybe there could be some cooperation between us."

At this point, with the emotions between them palpable, Ji Yang felt it was time to have an exchange.

Liu Qiushui hesitated at this.

With a smile, Ji Yang mounted her once again.

Under Liu Qiushui’s somewhat astonished gaze, Ji Yang began to move.

This time, Ji Yang was very patient, gradually guiding her.

Liu Qiushui thought that after her actions earlier, she had reached a saintly level of endurance, but to her surprise, Ji Yang was a professional in this area, and soon she felt aroused once again.

This time, neither was in a rush, both seriously savoring the experience.

As time slowly passed, since it was night and no one would disturb them, they were in no hurry.

With Ji Yang’s renewed thrusts, Liu Qiushui felt a different sensation, a guided pleasure. Following Ji Yang’s step-by-step guidance, she discovered that this feeling was even more delightful than what she had previously known.

After several loud moans, Liu Qiushui felt a sense of relief right to her bones.

This time Ji Yang did not render her unconscious. Rather, he deliberately infused True Yuan to help her recover during the act.

Afterwards, Liu Qiushui suddenly asked, "What are your plans for me going forward?"

Liu Qiushui wanted a commitment from Ji Yang.

She knew all too well that although she had been controlled by Fan Guohai, her life had never been shortchanged. If she followed Ji Yang, that would mean standing against Fan Guohai. She was well aware of the consequences – once that happened, Fan Guohai would surely be unlucky, and her own fate was uncertain.

"How deeply are you involved in his affairs?"

When Ji Yang heard her ask, he knew that he had nearly won her over. She was seeking his assurance.

Ji Yang also knew that his power was not overwhelming; the guarantees he could make were limited.

Liu Qiushui was aware of the situation, too. "Although I’ve been part of certain things, I haven’t done anything outrageous. They don’t fully trust me; they won’t let me in completely."

"You could learn business, and I’ll help you."

Liu Qiushui’s eyes lit up. Had Ji Yang merely wanted to keep her as a caged bird, she would have had second thoughts.

Now, things looked up - Ji Yang wanted to help her with her affairs.

Liu Qiushui knew well that if she controlled her own wealth, she could look forward to a better second half of her life. Plus, she could then help her family, making her arrangement much more liberating.

With Ji Yang’s help, she believed she would flourish.

"I assure you there won’t be major issues. And though they might not let me in, I have always been collecting their materials. I have documents here that could bring them down."

With that, Liu Qiushui made up her mind and looked at Ji Yang.

Ji Yang was delighted inside and asked, "I’ve heard that everything here is controlled by Huang Song, representing the Huang Family."

"It’s not as united as everyone thinks. In fact, even among the Huang Family’s own members, there are deep conflicts. Many of them resent Huang Song."

"Can Fan Guohai and those surnamed differently stand against the Huang surname?"

Now that the conversation was open, Ji Yang voiced some of his concerns.

Liu Qiushui laughed and said, "Everyone has been deceived. In truth, there has been an understanding for generations to deliberately cultivate some power among those with different surnames. It appears outwardly there is opposition to those with the surname Huang, but in reality, the core members of those influential outlying families have always been the children of the Huang Family, and they are always meant to act in concert."

What?

Ji Yang was genuinely surprised.

Liu Qiushui continued, "I learned of this accidentally. So if you’re thinking of using Fan Guohai and his people to deal with Huang Song, you’ll end up utterly devoured."

Ji Yang sighed internally, not having expected such tactics. It made sense upon reflection; many would naturally ally with Fan Guohai’s forces without knowing the full picture. But when it mattered most, those forces would likely backstab.

"I have a list of people from these factions. Even those in the countryside are hardly aware of these matters. If we take them down, everything here will change completely."
