The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 678: Drugged

After sitting down, Wei Bailu quickly spoke earnestly.

"Mr. Chen, although I haven’t studied professional acting, I’m extremely passionate about it. Could you give me an opportunity to become an actress?"

Without any hesitation, Chen Bin directly spoke the little scheme in the other party’s heart.

"You’re here because you saw Geng Like succeed, right?"

Slightly embarrassed, she scratched her head but chose to speak the truth.

"It does have some influence on me."

In her view, whether in appearance or figure, she was better than Geng Like.

Since Geng Like could achieve fame and fortune, she definitely could as well.

Moreover, a beauty like Wei Bailu feared being overshadowed by others.

When Geng Like was a flight attendant, she wasn’t as good as her in many aspects.

Now seeing her so glamorous, the psychological gap made Wei Bailu very uncomfortable.

Chen Bin smiled and said, "If you want to be an actress, you should go to a film company. Coming to me might not be very useful, right?"

"Mr. Chen, don’t be modest. In entertainment, who in the country can compare to you? If Geng Like hadn’t participated in your talent show, she wouldn’t have been noticed by Foodie Media."

Chen Bin had heard such compliments many times.

So he directly responded, "I do know many owners of film companies, and giving you an opportunity is just a word. But the question is, why should I help you when we’re not related?"

With these words, Wei Bailu was immediately stunned.

She indeed hadn’t thought about this question.

At this moment, Chen Bin continued.

"You should go back and think it over. Come back to me when you’ve figured it out."

"Alright then, I won’t disturb you any longer."

The next day, Chen Bin took a flight back to Tianhai.

A few days later, he called Zha Qiuling.

"Miss Cha, our satellite TV has a new drama with leading roles played by popular idols. I’m planning to create a special program to interview them. They can wear your designs; can you come to oversee it?"

As a workaholic, Zha Qiuling dreamed of having her work recognized.

She immediately agreed to Chen Bin’s proposal.

She even specifically asked about the height and weight of the actors to tailor the best-fitting sizes.

The day before the program recording, Zha Qiuling brought the clothes and arrived in Tianhai.

Chen Bin immediately arranged for her to meet with the actors.

And he let everyone try on the outfits, so that any ill-fitting parts could be altered on-site by Zha Qiuling.

No doubt, this woman’s attitude toward work was impressive.

From start to finish, she never caused any trouble.

Her technique during the clothing alterations was exceptionally skilled.

The next day, as the program began recording, Zha Qiuling stayed on-site to prevent any unexpected situations.

In the evening, at Chen Bin’s invitation, she had dinner at the Radio and Television International Hotel.

Raising his wine glass, Chen Bin said enthusiastically.

"Miss Cha, I toast to you, may your clothing sell well!"

Zha Qiuling nodded, her face brimming with smiles.

"Rest assured, they will definitely sell well. If they don’t, it just means those people’s taste is questionable."

"Of course, your image in my mind is comparable to a top designer. Soon you could register as a luxury brand..."

With Chen Bin’s endless flattery, Zha Qiuling listened with an elevated sense of euphoria.

Unbeknownst to herself, she had gotten quite tipsy.

Seeing this, Chen Bin left the private room directly.

He then sent a text to Qu Lan, asking her to come out.

After the two entered the adjacent empty room, Chen Bin produced a glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Qu Lan.

"Put this in the water and make Zha Qiuling drink it."

Qu Lan was immediately frightened, her heart skipped a beat, she cautiously asked.

"What... what’s in here?"

"It’s ground sleeping pills. Don’t worry, it won’t harm her body. Zha Qiuling is the Provincial Committee Secretary’s wife; I wouldn’t dare harm her."

Even though Qu Lan found Chen Bin’s words reasonable, she still hesitated to take it.

Worrying that there might be issues after Zha Qiuling drank it, it would be all over.

Seeing this, Chen Bin had to use both means of persuasion and intimidation.

"If you do as I say, I’ll give you one million. If you refuse, I’ll tell Zha Qiuling you accepted bribes to harm her."

"What... how can you do this?!"

Qu Lan never expected that Chen Bin, a dignified deputy governor, would scheme against her.

After much hesitation, she finally accepted the small glass bottle.

Returning to the private room, Chen Bin acted as if nothing happened, continuing to drink with Zha Qiuling.

Qu Lan, with a face full of guilt, kept her head down, looking as if she had done something wrong.

Fortunately, Zha Qiuling was already drunk and didn’t notice her unusual behavior.

After the meal, Qu Lan helped Zha Qiuling back to her room.

After placing her on the bed, she immediately turned to pour a glass of mineral water for Zha Qiuling.

Simultaneously, she quickly opened the small glass bottle and emptied the white powder inside.

Qu Lan dared to do this mainly because she believed in what Chen Bin said.

Zha Qiuling was Cheng Liusha’s wife; no one dared to harm her. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After securing the little glass bottle, Qu Lan took a deep breath and brought the glass to Zha Qiuling.

"Miss Cha, you drank a lot just now, would you like some water?"

Zha Qiuling didn’t say anything, she just sat up, took the glass, and started drinking.

She then lay back on the bed.

Having done everything, Qu Lan sent a text to Chen Bin.

"I’ve done everything, what should I do next?"

Chen Bin replied, "Don’t lock the door, you can leave, and the one million will be in your account by morning."

Although worried about Zha Qiuling’s safety, Qu Lan couldn’t refuse Chen Bin.

Ultimately, she left with gritted teeth.

Shortly after Qu Lan left, a man wearing a mask and a baseball cap appeared.

After entering the room, he directly lifted Zha Qiuling in his arms.

As he left, he didn’t forget to take the room card.

On reaching the top floor via the elevator, the man carried Zha Qiuling into the 0000 room.

After closing the door and placing her on the bed, the man removed his mask and exhaled deeply.

Gazing at Zha Qiuling’s beautiful face, Chen Bin’s lips curled into an amused smile.

"You’re usually so arrogant, today you finally fell into my hands!"

If it were someone else, Chen Bin wouldn’t dare openly carry Zha Qiuling away.

But in this hotel, he was undoubtedly the one in power.

From the moment Zha Qiuling arrived in Tianhai, Chen Bin had the top two floors and elevator surveillance disabled.

Also, except for room 0000, no rooms were to be sold beneath it.

Even so, Chen Bin brought Zha Qiuling to his suite.

For only one reason: to isolate any external signals.

This prevented Qu Lan from secretly planting a hidden camera in the room upon leaving, which would be too dangerous.

Having suffered in the past because of Zuo Kai, Chen Bin wasn’t going to let it happen again.

Casually tossing his baseball cap onto the bedside table, Chen Bin reached out to shake Zha Qiuling.

"Miss Cha? Miss Cha! Wake up!"

Seeing she genuinely had no reaction, he licked his lips.

A glimpse of madness flashed in his eyes...
