The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 184: Since When Did He Become a Scumbag Sugar Daddy?
Chapter 184
Lu Shinian looked at her.
He slightly lowered his gaze and saw the small detector in her palm.
The pointer was frantically moving, as if foretelling something.
Lu Shinian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
There were actually Soul-devouring Worms here.
He picked up the pocket watch and held it tightly. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
A few minutes later, the pocket watch finally stopped, and its pointer pointed straight at the masked figure in front.
Su Ruan clearly saw this scene too.
The two of them exchanged a glance, seeing the same intention in each other’s eyes.
They needed to investigate thoroughly.
The presence of Soul-devouring Worms on the Central Star was so stealthy and inconspicuous. They didn’t even know how many Soul-devouring Worms were hidden on the Central Star now.
Su Ruan’s eyes shimmered, and she quickly devised a plan.
She patted Lu Shinian’s wrist and whispered, "I’ll go up and chat with him."
After the speech, there was a half-hour free Q&A session.
She could take advantage of this time to exchange a few words with the masked figure.
Lu Shinian stared intently at the masked figure on stage, unlike the Soul-devouring Worm found last time on Muhe Star, he could not detect any trace of the Insect Race aura from this masked figure.
Could the Insect Race’s concealment ability have reached such a level? To be able to shield even his 3S Spirit Power detection?
Thinking of this, Lu Shinian’s eyes grew even deeper.
Meanwhile, Su Ruan had already stood up, preparing to approach the masked figure.
Lu Shinian grabbed her wrist and stood up as well, whispering, "I’ll go."
Su Ruan quickly stopped him.
"You’re too imposing."
Not to mention Lu Shinian’s fame, his face and the aura of a successful person wouldn’t let that masked figure lower their guard.
Su Ruan tugged at Lu Shinian’s sleeve, speaking softly, "It’s better for me to handle this."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."
Lu Shinian was eventually persuaded by Su Ruan.
He released her wrist and watched her walk towards the masked figure.
At the same time, Lu Shinian held the pocket watch in his hand, walking silently around the reception room, trying to discover more Soul-devouring Worms.
Su Ruan soon came face-to-face with the masked figure, deliberately presenting a worn-out demeanor, with faintly shimmering tears in her eyes, asking, "Sir."
She heard others addressing "him" in this manner.
The masked figure indeed looked at her.
"Woman," the masked figure lowered his voice, "What is your question?"
Although there were women here, most were middle-aged women ravaged by life or naive young girls who could easily be deceived with a few sweet words and believed anything.
Their eyes gradually became cloudy, resembling the world’s greed.
But the girl in front of them, although not extravagantly dressed, was clad in the finest materials.
The girl’s face was exquisite, graceful, and charming, possessing good looks, yet her eyes were clear and seemingly aware of all the sins in the world.
Sins passed through her eyes without leaving any dark spots, as though they were purified by such eyes.
The masked figure’s chest heaved slightly, seemingly releasing a small laugh.
Su Ruan noted the masked figure’s reaction, pretending she was facing difficulties, her brows furrowed, with a tear dangling on her long lashes.
"Why is my life so bitter?"
She began to fabricate.
"My parents died when I was very young."
"I grew up alone in an orphanage, couldn’t eat enough or dress warmly. When I grew up, I barely managed to woo a benefactor with my beauty..."
Su Ruan knew her clothes stood out here, so she needed a plausible reason to explain her anomaly.
A benefactor was indeed an excellent choice.
Su Ruan paused suitably, remaining silent.
The sudden pause naturally piqued the masked figure’s curiosity, "And then what about the benefactor?"
No wonder the girl before him was dressed well, her skin so tender; it turns out she had caught the interest of a benefactor.
He knew that some benefactors had peculiar tastes and would spend millions on modification agents just to make a girl’s skin exceptionally tender, leaving red marks with just a slight grip.
However, the side effects of the modification agent were significant; it gradually erased the user’s personality, turning them into the benefactor’s slave under his ’training.’
At this moment, the masked figure was genuinely interested in Su Ruan, so he uncharacteristically repeated his question, "And then what?"
"And then..." Su Ruan’s expression turned from sorrow to anger, "The benefactor found another woman who was more favored than me."
Saying so emotionally, the tears on her long lashes trembled and fell.
A gleam flashed in the masked figure’s eyes.
Parents dead from an early age means no relatives. Even if she went missing, no family would nag them to look.
Being kept by a benefactor means no job, further implying she had no social circle.
Now abandoned by the benefactor also means that if she went missing, the benefactor would not care.
All these conditions combined mean...
If she went missing, no one would care about her.
And this was precisely the kind of person they were looking for.
A hint of menace appeared under the mask of the masked figure.
"Your issues are very serious," he feigned seriousness.
"How about this: come here tomorrow night, and I will personally guide you on how to overcome these hardships and achieve success."
Su Ruan nodded in response, "Okay, Sir, I’ll definitely come tomorrow."
The masked figure waved his hand dismissively as if he no longer placed importance on her.
However, Su Ruan could sense the masked figure’s eyes lingering on her.
She dared not make any rash moves, let alone look for Lu Shinian.
To make her story more convincing, Su Ruan casually grabbed someone and began complaining about what she had said to the masked figure.
After finishing, she found another person to repeat the story. In total, she related it countless times throughout the night, portraying all her grievances and desperation to cling to a lifeline convincingly.
By the end, she almost believed she was really kept by a benefactor.
The entire speech lasted two hours, after which everyone gradually left the reception room.
Su Ruan stealthily sent a message to Lu Shinian, telling him not to meet her inside.
Lu Shinian obediently complied, not glancing at her the entire time.
Until Su Ruan left the reception room and boarded the floating car, Lu Shinian pulled her into his arms, his voice low and sexy.
"Being kept by a benefactor?"
"Hmm?"
He was surprised to hear he had become a deadbeat benefactor.
