When Lin Shuyue dressed up and went to the dock in the evening, Li Weisheng was already waiting there. Li Mingfang had also come. She came at Lin Shuyue's request.
The role she plays is Li Weisheng's secretary in public and his mistress in private.
Li Mingfang agreed immediately. She was young and naive and had never played such a role-playing game before. In order to look more like Xiao Mi, she took time out in the afternoon to get her hair done, curling it into chestnut-colored waves. She also learned the makeup techniques that Lin Shuyue taught her and put on a professional suit.
She was carrying an expensive bag in her hand, and her outfit immediately made Lin Shuyue, who was wearing a white jacket and jeans, look outshined.
Especially for the sake of her character, Lin Shuyue specifically looked for Lou Fengqin's black handbag. It was fake cowhide that she bought at a street stall. The quality was very good, but it was obvious that it was not a high-end product.
Lin Shuyue gave her a thumbs up: "This is quite effective. It immediately revealed our identities."
Li Mingfang rubbed against Lin Shuyue's side and said, "I did my job seriously. My second uncle had an affair with his secretary, and when my second aunt found out, she dumped him."
"I met that secretary once before, and she was dressed like this. But her clothes and bag weren't as good as mine." Li Mingfang already knew what Lin Shuyue was going to do, and this outfit was put together after careful consideration.
This is exactly the effect Lin Shuyue wanted: "Great."
Li Weisheng sat in a wheelchair with a sullen look on his face, listening to his girlfriend playing the role of the third party with great interest.
Li Weisheng was really tired. He felt that his girlfriend was the lost jewel of the entertainment industry. Without her, it would be the loss of the Oscar.
At this time, Lin Shuyue's cell phone rang, and Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng immediately became serious.
Lin Shuyue answered the phone, and soon a man with a slicked-back hair styled in a 3:7 ratio, wearing a floral shirt and big pointed leather shoes, came in.
"Li Chaosheng, Lin Xiaoyue, Zhang Lili?" The scoundrel spoke to Lin Shuyue and the others in a nonchalant manner, speaking not very fluent Mandarin.
In the time it took to say this, the man had already sized up the three of them.
Li Weisheng had his hair combed back and was sitting on a chair with a bad look on his face. He had a plaster cast on his foot, which was so white that it was obviously new.
There was a bright and beautiful lady standing next to the wheelchair, and when he looked at the slightly rustic woman next to her, the man instantly knew who she was.
The two women were the man's first and second wives. Er Wuzi looked at Li Weisheng with envy, and became more determined to work hard, because he also wanted to have first and second wives.
"It's us." Lin Shuyue said, and handed the prepared funds to the traitor.
Er Wuzi took it and checked it carefully, then led them onto the ship.
This was a very ordinary cargo ship. The two people were arranged in a cabin with two beds. There was a strong smell of sweat on the cabin, which was very unpleasant.
None of the three had any intention of lying down. Lin Shuyue took the opportunity to sit by the window on the deck with her face turned on. She turned on the good and evil radar. Unexpectedly, there were many people on the boat, but there were very few with good and evil values exceeding 20%.
Many of them were hovering around the 5% or 10% range, including the man who had just picked them up.
Li Mingfang sat on the side with Li Weisheng, acting coquettishly in a pinched voice. Lin Shuyue could hardly stand it, and Li Weisheng was also a little disappointed.
A man happened to pass by the window, and soon Lin Shuyue heard him chatting with another man: "Oh~ That guy who just got on the boat is so lucky, his first and second wives are both so beautiful. The first wife hasn't beaten the second wife yet. I'm so envious."
"Then you should work hard, and you can get two in due time. Our Hong Kong is better than their mainland, and having a mistress is legal there." The man who was talking to the man had an old voice.
"Uncle Ah Pan, what you said is all outdated. Now it has been legislated that everyone must practice monogamy." The man spoke in a loud voice.
"Well, the law is the law, and reality is reality. Why don't you go to the countryside to find your first wife? And you can look for your second wife in the city. Bin, let me tell you, the first wife should be virtuous, because a virtuous wife can bring prosperity to the family, and the second wife should be beautiful."
"A good-looking second wife can make a man exude youthful vitality."
The other man was very eager to learn: "What if the first wife is not virtuous?"
"Isn't that easy to say? You beat her, cut off her household income, don't let her go out to work, and leave her with nothing to eat, drink, or spend, and then the woman will be obedient." Ah Pan said nonchalantly.
Er Wuzi felt something was wrong, but he didn't refute it. He was only eighteen years old, and he humbly thanked Ah Pan.
Their foul speech was heard clearly in the cabin, and Li Weisheng's ears were about to be twisted off. He made a bitter face and begged for mercy in a low voice.
"Fangfang, you can't be unreasonable. They are just talking about themselves. Don't you know how I feel about you? I'm almost cutting my heart open for you to see."
Li Mingfang took the opportunity to pressure Li Weisheng, as she trusted Li Weisheng 100%.
"You're smart, I tell you, if you dare to marry another one outside, I will make you the last eunuch of the Chinese nation."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Li Weisheng had no choice but to beg for mercy. Although he had a girlfriend, she was still a virgin, and he didn't want to be a eunuch.
Moreover, Li Weisheng felt that it was good enough that he would deal with Li Mingfang in his lifetime, and he really didn't have the experience to find another one.
Lin Shuyue ignored them, sent a message to Hang Jiabai, and then hung up the phone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, many more people came on board the ship, all of whom were going to sneak across to Hong Kong to work illegally. They sat quietly in the cargo hold at the back.
The thugs who had just brought Lin Shuyue and the others on board went over one by one to collect the money.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the boat finally started, and an hour later, they stopped at a remote and narrow pier.
Lin Shuyue and others came ashore at the shouting of the thugs.
Coming out of the pier, there are low buildings on both sides and narrow streets. At this moment, there are bright lights and wine, and all kinds of things are sold.
The man took them to a hotel and said, "We have booked two rooms. You can sleep here. Tomorrow morning, someone will take you to find Master Wuwo."
Er Wuzi left after saying that. After returning from a boat trip, they were going to have a meal. There were many people on their boat, and if they went too late, there would be nothing good to eat.
"Okay." Lin Shuyue took a key first, snorted at Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng with a dark face, and went to the room by herself, slamming the door.
Li Mingfang, having mastered the art of playing the role of a "green tea" without any instruction, immediately acted like a movie queen. She blinked her eyes and looked at Li Mingwei pitifully: "Mr. Li, is my sister mad that you brought me here? You're already so badly injured, and she didn't even offer to take care of you at night."
Li Weisheng thought that if Lin Shuyue took care of him at night, he would be really finished. Regardless of whether Lin Shuyue was willing or not, he would not be able to get past Li Mingfang, and there was also Captain Hang who was far away in Beijing.
His life is not really long.
"She is still not as considerate as you. You must be tired after sitting on the boat for so long. Let's go and have a rest." Li Wei's last words were just to cooperate with Li Mingfang to satisfy her acting addiction.
The latter sentence was sincere, he really felt very tired.
Li Mingfang felt sorry for him and pushed him into the room.
Ten minutes after they entered the room, the receptionist behind them made a mysterious phone call, explaining the situation of Lin Shuyue and the other two. After that, he hung up the phone and continued to guard the hotel door, while the black and white TV on the counter remained on.
Lin Shuyue arrived at the room and checked the entire room first. Only when she saw that there were no cameras did she put on her slippers and go to bed.
Houses in Hong Kong are very expensive, and the hotel rooms are very small, about the same size as a private room in an Internet cafe. There is a small bathroom and shower room inside. There is a 1.2-meter bed next to the bathroom, and a TV is placed at the head of the bed next to the door.
There were some discs in the drawer under the TV, some of which were classic movies, but most of them were shockingly explicit Category III films, and some were even more vulgar.
For example, Kyoto is hot.
Lin Shuyue didn't look at it any further. She locked the door, drew the curtains, turned off the lights, sent a message to Li Mingfang and the others, and went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Shuyue went to a breakfast shop outside to have breakfast, and Li Mingfang also went alone to pack food for Li Mingwei.
They put on a full show, and when they passed each other, Lin Shuyue snorted loudly, and Li Mingfang rolled her eyes at her.
The person guarding the counter had become an older woman. She was knitting a sweater and talking to Lin Shuyue: "Sister, is that your husband's second wife?"
"Yeah." Lin Shuyue said with a bitter face.
The eldest sister continued, "Oh my, the second wife is so arrogant now. If you ask me, it was better in the past. The second wife had to follow set of rules in front of the eldest wife and didn't dare to say a word. If she disrespected the eldest wife, the eldest wife would ask to sell her off."
Lin Shuyue agreed: "Who says it's not true? Men nowadays are so heartless. When we got married, we had nothing. We worked hard from scratch until now, and now we have money. But men are constantly having affairs outside. It's no use crying and making a fuss. They either hit me or refuse to pay for the household expenses."
"This time the company got into trouble, and I ran around for him and used all my connections, but at the last moment, I found out that he was going to bring his second wife with him. Sister, why is life so hard for women?" Lin Shuyue's story was very convincing.
The eldest sister believed it because everyone she knew disciplined their disobedient wives in this way.
She pretended to persuade Lin Shuyue, but Lin Shuyue managed to squeeze out two tears. When she saw Li Mingfang from a distance, Lin Shuyue wiped her tears and walked away with her neck stiff.
Er Wuzi arrived not long after breakfast. Lin Shuyue and the other two split into two groups and followed him through twists and turns. During the entire journey, Er Wuzi kept telling Lin Shuyue and the others about Master Wuwo's resume.
He spent his early years cultivating in the inland areas, but due to the unrest, he followed his master to Hong Kong to seek the path to national governance. As a result, communication between Hong Kong and the inland areas ceased, so he never returned.
To make a living, he and his master became Feng Shui masters. Because of his high level of Taoist skills, he attracted many people who came to worship him.
Now his reputation has spread to the inland, and every week many people come from all over the inland to seek advice from Master Wuwo.
Er Wuzi also said that his sister had suffered a serious illness before and was about to die, but Master Wuwo cured her illness with a bowl of talisman water.
Er Wuzi said that he is now a loyal follower of Master Wuwo.
While the man was boasting, they arrived in front of a two-story building. The building was very old, and the walls and iron fences in the courtyard were covered with moss. A purple-red bougainvillea tree grew from the courtyard, as red as fire.
Er Wuzi shouted twice at the door and took them into the house. The house was a bit gloomy, with many gods enshrined and incense burning.
The idiot reverently lit the incense sticks in the incense burner, kowtowed, and then spoke respectfully to the Master Wuwo inside, and then carefully retreated.
An old man in his sixties with a long beard came out from the inner room wearing a coat.
"Were you introduced by Xiao Ding? What do you want?" Master Wuwo spoke slowly and with a sense of charity.
If Lin Shuyue hadn't seen his dark 87% sin value, she would have really thought he was a high monk.
Li Weisheng expressed their demands according to the script written by Lin Shuyue.
The two of them reported a fake birth chart. Master Wuwo stretched out his hand to calculate it.
The room was quiet. Lin Shuyue's good and evil radar showed that there were at least four or five people with good and evil values as high as 35 waiting nearby.
After a while, Master Wuwo opened his eyes and said, "You and your wife have been plagued by bad luck over the past two years. Especially you."
Master Wuwo pointed at Li Weisheng and said, "From now on, there will be three months of water countercurrents, and they will be very large. If you can survive this, you won't be able to keep your big fortunes for the rest of your life. You may have some small fortunes, but they will be quickly spent."
"Your fortune is just good enough to cover your capital. If you encounter a villain who does something bad, you will have to pay for it."
Li Weisheng shifted his hips uneasily and asked anxiously, "What if I can't survive from it?"
Master Wuwo glanced at Li Weisheng and continued: "Then there will be no such person as you in this world."
Li Weisheng pinched himself secretly and broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
"How do we resolve this, Master?"
Master Wuwo continued to look away from him and turned to Lin Shuyue. "Good lady, your horoscope originally had a very good fate, but this year you have offended the star Tanlang, so nothing is going your way."
"Life is not going well, love is not going well, and career is not going well." When Master Wuwo talked about his unsatisfactory love life, he glanced at Li Mingfang. Li Mingfang lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Lin Shuyue stood up excitedly: "That's right, Master, my relationship with him was pretty good before, but after this year, problems started to arise."
Lin Shuyue glared at Li Mingfang fiercely. "My career isn't going well either. In the past, everything went smoothly for me and my husband wherever we worked. But this year, things haven't been going well. Since we started working on this construction site, accidents have been happening all the time."
"We've invested half our net worth in this. I heard you're incredibly powerful, so I came to ask you for help."
Master Wuwo glanced at Li Weisheng, and Li Weisheng nodded: "Yes, as long as you can break it, we will give you this amount."
Li Weisheng stretched out his hand and slapped it. This doesn't mean five thousand or fifty thousand, it means five hundred thousand.
Master Wuwo smiled and said, "You are able to find me because of your sincerity and fate. The only way to save you is to pray for this treasure vases."
"Please get two vases like that and place them at the company's front desk. Also, bury the talisman I specially ordered for you in the northwest corner of the construction site."
"This way, the things that happened at your construction site can be easily resolved."
Lin Shuyue was very considerate. She took out an envelope with a thick stack of RMB inside, estimated to be about 20,000.
"Okay, three good people, leave your address. You can go home first. When we are ready, someone will contact you."
Master Wuwo was about to leave after saying this, and it was time for Li Mingfang to come on stage. She took out the money she had prepared from her bag and placed it on the table next to her.
"Master, I want to ask if I can get what I want." When Li Mingfang said this, he looked at Li Weisheng lovingly.
Master Wuwo took out a talisman from the table beside him and said, "This is a marriage talisman. If you put it under your pillow and sleep on it for 49 days, you will get what you want."
"Thank you, Master." Li Mingfang bowed to Master Wuwo.
Then she happily pushed Li Weisheng out. Lin Shuyue snorted, rolled her eyes, and walked away from them.
After they disappeared from view, Master Wuwo changed his previous appearance of a hermit and took out the money in the two envelopes and counted it again and again.
Then he made a phone call: "Another fish has been hooked. This time it's a little boy, about three years old, born in October. Call me when it's ready. I'm also ordering two more Aquarius babies, with yellow flowers." (TL's Note: '水瓶座婴儿' ('shuǐpíngzuò yīng'ér' or 'Aquarius Baby') meaning a baby born under the zodiac sign of Aquarius (January 20 – February 18). 'With yellow flowers' is likely a coded tag or marker. In criminal networks, this could be metaphorical — "yellow flowers" might symbolize boys).
"By the way, keep an eye on them and see what they're doing in Hong Kong."
As soon as the phone hung up, Master Wuwo turned on the TV and sang along with the Cantonese opera on TV. When he sang to his heart's content, he even shook his head.
