Victoria was lying in the hospital bed, quietly thinking about what had just happened. This day had brought her too many surprises, and it had already exceeded what she could bear.
The freedom that she had always longed for actually came to her so easily. Victoria had a feeling of a dream; it was very unreal.
Yang Ming did not take the remote control away in the end, but Victoria had no use for it. She kept it just as a souvenir. Tomorrow, am I going to embark on a new life?
Victoria was afraid that after she woke up, everything would change back to the original state, so she went to bed very late last night. However, when she woke up today and saw the remote control on her pillow, Victoria was convinced that she was not dreaming.
"Dang dang dang …" There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Victoria thought it was the nurse who came to change her medicine, so she did not care and spoke calmly.
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Dr. Jessica took the lead. However, behind Dr. Jessica stood a person who made Victoria resent and fear from the bottom of her heart! This person was her former master, Bobby.
This resentment and fear were involuntary. Although Victoria had nothing to do with him now, under years of submission to Bobby's oppression, Victoria had developed a fear of him.
"Victoria, how do you feel? Are you feeling better? "Bobby walked into the ward cautiously and greeted Victoria with a face full of concern.
Bobby was a sociable person. He had worked hard to establish a relationship with Yang Ming. Naturally, he had to find ways to maintain and consolidate it. Therefore, when Yang Ming wanted to take Victoria away and treat her, Bobby mistakenly thought that Yang Ming had taken a fancy to Victoria because he did not think that the injured Victoria had any other use for Yang Ming.
Yesterday, what Yang Ming said to Victoria, although Jessica heard it, she would never say these things without Yang Ming's permission. The doctors in this hospital were all soldiers, so they would never reveal anything.
Therefore, although Jessica knew the real reason why Yang Ming wanted Victoria, this reason could not be told to Bobby. As for what Bobby thought, it was Bobby's own business. For Bobby's question, Jessica did not say anything other than a smile.
However, the more it was like this, the more Bobby misunderstood. He thought that Jessica was smiling ambiguously, so his heart was even more fearful. After entering Victoria's room, Bobby was so careful.
Victoria was shocked by Bobby's attitude. She did not know how Bobby, who had always been high and mighty, suddenly became like this! Victoria opened her mouth in amazement, and she did not say a word for a long time.
"Victoria, I know that I may have gone overboard with what I did to you before, but … you were my slave at that time … Now that you have a noble status, I think you won't hold a grudge against me and won't take what happened in the past to heart, right?" Bobby saw that Victoria did not answer, and he was sure that Victoria was holding a grudge. Moreover, seeing that Victoria was now living in such a high-end ward, and there was a professional doctor accompanying her twenty-four hours a day, Bobby knew that Victoria should occupy a large position in Yang Ming's heart. In this way, this little girl was favored, and it was inevitable that she would resent Bobby for what he had done before. At that time, she would flirt with Yang Ming's pillow. Then, wouldn't Bobby be done for?
Thinking of the accidents that might happen in the future, Bobby quickly ran to Victoria's ward to seek her forgiveness.
Victoria was even more inexplicable. When did my identity become noble? Now, I just have a certain amount of freedom, but it is not related to the word "noble!" In this world, there are so many free people like me. I can't even count them. Are these people all noble? As a matter of fact, the beggars in the slums also had freedom … And Victoria really didn't feel that her situation was much better than theirs.
When Bobby saw Victoria's appearance, he guessed that Victoria must still be very resentful. If he wanted to get Victoria's forgiveness, he was afraid that it would not be possible with just a few words.
"Victoria, it is your blessing that Mr. Yang likes you. However, you have to grasp this opportunity well. There is no shortage of beautiful women around Mr. Yang. So, if you want to always get Mr. Yang's favor, you have to first learn how to please and please men … "Bobby saw that his blind apology was useless, so he changed his tactics. Before he came here, he made two preparations. One of the preparations was to talk to Victoria as a friend about her future and how she could stand firm in Yang Ming's family.
"Hey!" Victoria's eyes widened. What does he mean by there is no shortage of beautiful women around Mr. Yang? What does it have to do with me if there are more beautiful women around him? It's just a few more targets to be protected. Moreover, why do I want to get Yang Ming's favor?
"Victoria, your previous identity … Oh, I'm sorry. Although it's somewhat demeaning to mention this now, I'm telling the truth. I hope you can understand … I'm now talking to you from the perspective of a friend!" Bobby's two hands didn't know what to do, but his sincerity was fully shown.
"And then?" Victoria was confused. When she saw that Bobby was also at a loss, she suddenly felt a little funny. Is this still the Bobby who used to flaunt his prowess? In front of me, he suddenly became like a child. The huge contrast made Victoria feel like she was dreaming.
Victoria wanted to figure out what was wrong with Bobby, so she asked him to continue.
Seeing that Victoria finally spoke, Bobby was overjoyed. It seems that Victoria is a little relaxed. I played the friendship card correctly, so he quickly continued, "You couldn't have come into contact with these things between men and women in the past … Take me as an example. I have many women around me, but the one who attracts me the most may not be the most beautiful, but the most charming! A woman's charm can be cultivated and changed, so I came here this time mainly to talk to you about these things! "
"Oh?" Victoria still didn't quite understand the ultimate purpose of Bobby coming here. What woman's charm? Could it be that Bobby suddenly became stupid? Victoria had never seen Bobby talk and act like this before.
"If you want to always capture Mr. Yang's heart, Victoria, you have to work hard!" Bobby said and mysteriously handed a box to Victoria's hand. Then he squinted his eyes and said, "Here, I have a small video player for you. There are videos that I downloaded for you. Some of the world's famous intelligence organizations are training female intelligence officers. The skill of seducing men is first-class. If you learn half of it, you can …"
"Female intelligence officer training?" Victoria took the small box from Bobby's hand and repeated to herself.
"That's right. I spent a lot of effort to get it!" Bobby quickly took credit. "Well, Miss Victoria, I won't disturb your rest. I will come to visit you later. In addition, I got some fresh fruits that you like to eat. They are on the side of the bed … "
Bobby obviously didn't know what kind of fruit Victoria was willing to eat before, but Bobby had learned some of Victoria's living habits from the slaves under him overnight.
Usually, Bobby was not harsh on the diet of these slaves because he wanted to rely on them to win the competition for him, so they must keep up with the diet and nutrition.
After Bobby said these words, he got up and left. He smiled and nodded to Victoria before leaving the ward.
Victoria held the box in her hand and stared at Bobby's departing back in confusion. She shook her head. "What the hell is going on? What happened to Bobby? "
Jessica looked at the inexplicable Victoria and shook her head helplessly. "Miss Victoria, Mr. Bobby thought that Mr. Yang took a fancy to your beauty and made you his woman … so, Bobby has such a posture …"
"Ah!" Victoria suddenly blushed after listening to Jessica's words. The current Victoria was more like a normal girl. She had thrown away the shackles of her previous fate and became a free person.
Victoria finally understood what the Association said before and after Bobby. It turned out that Bobby regarded her as Yang Ming's woman! However, what puzzled Victoria was that Bobby at least didn't have to be so humble to her, right? When she went out with Bobby to fight in the arena, she also saw many beautiful women with Bobby's friends, but Bobby did not deliberately flatter them. On the contrary, he was very cold because in the eyes of these men, women were accessories. Only power and money could make them excited.
Victoria even saw that one of Bobby's friends' women was slapped in public by Bobby's friends because she offended Bobby with words. This also indirectly showed that the friendship between men did not need women to be involved.
But now, Victoria seemed to see another scene, which made her really inexplicable. She finally couldn't help but ask, "But, even if this is the case, Bobby doesn't have to treat me like this, right? His attitude … "
After Jessica listened to Victoria's words, she shook her head with a bitter smile. "Even if you just asked him to kneel, he might not hesitate."
"Kneel! This is impossible, right? "Victoria exclaimed.
"I understand what you are thinking. If you are just the woman of a friend with the same status as Bobby, then Bobby will definitely not treat you with such an attitude … But, when a man's identity has completely overridden another person, the woman around him, even if she is just an unfavored one, will become high and mighty …" Jessica said slowly, "Mr. Yang, in this land, has absolute power, so your identity will also rise."
JESSICA naturally knew Yang Ming's real intention for Victoria, so she didn't have to worry about anything. She told Victoria all these things to help her solve her doubts, and at the same time, she could better understand the master she would serve in the future.
"High and mighty?" Victoria had never felt like today before. Originally, she thought that Bobby had already stood at the top of wealth and upper-class society, but now it seemed that there were people who were stronger than Bobby.
Just because of the groundless title of being Yang Ming's woman, Bobby, who was originally high and mighty, flattered her. It also made her change from a slave with the lowest status to a high and mighty empress.
All of this was brought about by the man she saw last night. What kind of person is he? Victoria became a little absent-minded. This kind of rise and fall in status made her believe that her choice was correct.
Although she was not Yang Ming's woman, and she couldn't be one, she didn't see lust and desire for her beauty in Yang Ming's eyes. It was just a kind of faint concern.
However, in Victoria's heart, she was still a little vain. At the very least, she used the title of Yang Ming's woman to intimidate Bobby.
This made her little heart unprecedentedly satisfied. Yes, from the very beginning, the identity of a slave, she suddenly rode on the head of the master. Who could not be happy?
Victoria took a deep breath and nodded slightly. "Thank you for not exposing this matter just now, so that I can vent the anger in my heart."
"I have no right to say anything to Bobby. What he thinks is his own guess." Jessica shrugged. "In fact, even if you are the bodyguard of Mr. Yang's woman, Bobby will still look at you in a different light. This is the difference in identity. The gap between him and Mr. Yang is too big."
Jessica said this because she naturally saw Yang Ming's posture in front of Li Qiang and General Kars. Even Li Qiang and General Kars were in awe of a person, so what was Bobby?
※ ※ ※
"Li Zhicheng … En, how should I deal with him?" Yang Ming stretched lazily and asked Huang Lele, who had not fully woken up.
"En … I don't know. I will sleep for a while." Huang Lele rubbed her eyes and glanced at the time on the alarm clock at the bedside. She found that it was still early, so she fell asleep again.
Yang Ming smiled and got up and got out of bed. His schedule was limited, so he only had one day to deal with Li Zhicheng. As for Li Zhicheng wanting to sell the iron ore and gold mines in his hands, Yang Ming naturally heard the news. Bobby immediately told Yang Ming about the situation.
For this opportunity to have a relationship with Yang Ming, Bobby naturally would not let it go. Yang Ming was noncommittal about Bobby's approach. Sometimes, making the enemy panic psychologically was more torturous than doing something to them.
Li Zhicheng's family was probably in this mood now. They were in a panic all day long. He had not retaliated against them, but they had already fallen into the situation of scaring themselves.
Thinking about it, Yang Ming felt a little funny. He had two mines in his hands. He couldn't sell them, and he couldn't mine them himself. This was probably the most painful thing in life.
Yang Ming's prediction was naturally not wrong. At this moment, Li Zhicheng was sitting in the guest house's room with a pale face, just like the White Impermanence in the movie. Beside him were Li Tianjia and Li Tianyu.
"It must be. It must be Yang Ming's revenge!" Li Zhicheng's face was pale. Although his words were excited, there was some panic. "Otherwise, why didn't anyone buy the iron ore and gold mine in my hands? These are the golden chickens that lay golden eggs. These people are not interested. If it weren't for Yang Ming's pressure, how could it be explained? "
Li Tianjia and Li Tianyu also fell into silence. Now, the Li Family had reached a dilemma. They didn't dare to take a step forward. Who knew what kind of retaliation would be brought if they continued to operate in this place?
But even if they took a step back, they couldn't retreat. No one took over the mines in their hands. That was an investment of six billion US dollars. It was not a small number. How could they just give it up like that? What they cheated from Huang Xiaofei was only five billion US dollars.
"Father, I think we can only make a choice now. I think under the pressure of Yang Ming, no one will take over our mines, and we can't continue to operate. I think we should make a choice and give up …" Li Tianjia hesitated and advised.
"Give up?" Li Zhicheng exclaimed. "That is more than six billion US dollars. This time, not only did we invest Huang Xiaofei's money, but we also used a large amount of the company's cash. If we give up like this, won't we lose a lot?"
"Losing a lot is better than dying here, right?" Li Tianjia advised, "We can't give up our lives for money, right? Where there is life, there is hope. To be honest, in this place, I have no confidence in my heart. There is no law here. There are no rules. General Kars and Li Qiang's words are the law. If they want to kill us, it is just a matter of a word! "
How could Li Zhicheng not know that Li Tianjia was telling the truth? If he didn't know, he wouldn't be eager to get rid of the mines in his hands. It was because he knew this that he wanted to leave here as soon as possible. But now, it seemed that his idea was obviously not feasible. No one would take over the mines in his hands.
Although Li Tianyu also felt that this was a great loss, this was the only way, so he had to agree. "Father, we have no other choice."
