Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Pink and Ink Appear, Hunting Feast Will Begin

The black Maybach is like a ghost in the dark night, silently merging into the traffic and disappearing without a trace. Only Lin Wan stood alone on the street, the afternoon sun shining on her, but unable to dispel the sudden chill and confusion in her heart. He saw her. without doubt. Those bottomless black eyes, even if it was just a brief glance, carried a sharpness that pierced through everything, and were not inadvertently swept over. But why did he stop? Why did you leave without saying a word? Warning? Testing? Or is it just a momentary scrutiny from those in power? Lin Wan found himself completely unable to guess the man's thoughts. Gu Chen's appearance and actions are like a difficult puzzle, spanning her originally clear path of revenge, bringing a fog full of unknowns. But this unease only lasted for a moment before she forcefully suppressed it. No matter what Gu Chen intends to do, she doesn't have the capital to delve deeper now. Excessive worry and suspicion will only lead to chaos. The most important thing at present is to fight the hard battle tonight. She took a deep breath, temporarily driving Gu Chen's figure out of her mind, and waved to stop a taxi. Go to the best styling studio in the city center, "she announced the place name, her voice calm and with an unquestionable determination. The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror. The girl was dressed in plain clothes, even a bit shabby, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, with a calmness and aura that did not match her appearance age. He didn't ask much and stepped on the accelerator to head towards his destination. The studio is located in the top commercial district of the city center, with a bright and clean atmosphere, and the air is filled with the scent of high-end fragrances and hairspray. The receptionist looked at Lin Wan as she walked in, with a hint of imperceptible scrutiny and suspicion in her eyes. Hello, do you have an appointment? "His tone was polite but distant. No, "Lin Wan said calmly, glancing at the price list and quickly calculating her meager savings in her heart. She pointed directly to the most expensive chief stylist and said, 'I need to do a full set of styling. I'm attending an important event tonight, and I'll ask him to help me design it.' The receptionist was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting this seemingly ordinary girl to be so straightforward. But her professional competence quickly restored her smile: 'Okay, just a moment, I'll communicate for you.' Money can pave the way, and truth is everywhere. Even if the other party may have doubts, they will not refuse the door-to-door business. Soon, a stylish and slightly arrogant male stylist was invited over. He looked at Lin Wan with sharp eyes like a scanner. What kind of styling do you want? A dinner party? A party? "He asked, his fingers lightly brushing against Lin Wan's hair, assessing the quality of her hair. Party, 'charming color,' "Lin Wan said succinctly." Style... cool, stunning, but effortless to look at. "The stylist raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested in her requirements. The foundation is good, but it lacks maintenance. Leave it to me, "he snapped his fingers and gestured for his assistant to come over." Let's take her to wash her hair and take care of her skin first. "Over the next few hours, Lin Wan was like a puppet, being pressed onto a chair for various manipulations. Cleaning, caring, massaging, applying makeup, doing hair... She closed her eyes and let those delicate tools and products move on her face and head. Her brain did not rest, but rapidly reviewed every detail about the party in her past life. How will Bai Lianhua lead her into the game? When will Lu Renjia appear and what role will she play? What are the key figures at the party? What are the traps that need special attention to avoid? How should she take advantage of the information gap and turn the tables? Every step, every possibility, was deduced countless times in her mind. When the final set makeup spray gently fell on his face, and when the hairdresser put down the curling stick and whispered "OK", Lin Wan slowly opened her eyes. At the moment she looked in the mirror, even she herself was slightly stunned. The girl in the mirror seems to have undergone a complete transformation. The originally somewhat frizzy long hair was groomed to be smooth and shiny, cleverly tied up in a loose yet neat bun, with a few strands of slightly curled hair naturally hanging down on the neck, adding a touch of lazy charm. Makeup is the finishing touch. There is no heavy emphasis on color, but it perfectly highlights the advantages of her facial features. The base makeup is clear and flawless, and the eye makeup is slightly blended with earthy colors, elongating the tail of the eyes and making those already bright eyes appear deeper and colder, like a pool of cold water. The lipstick chosen is a low-key bean paste red, gentle yet powerful, which perfectly enhances the complexion. The overall design perfectly fits her requirement of "cool and stunning, effortless". Even the chief stylist, who was used to seeing beauties, had a hint of satisfied surprise in his eyes: 'Perfect! Miss, you will definitely be the focus tonight.'. "Lin Wan looked at herself in the mirror, and in a daze, she seemed to see the shadow of Lin Wan from her past life, who had weathered the wind and frost and finally polished her own radiance, appearing ahead of time. She gave a faint smile, which fell into the mirror with a cold, powerful confidence. Thank you. "She stood up, swiped her card to pay, and acted decisively without any hesitation. That expense, which was not a small one for her, was spent without hesitation at this moment. Investing in oneself is the first step towards revenge. Leaving the studio, the sunset had already set in the west. At the beginning of the lights, the entire city began to emit a seductive color that was completely different from the daytime. She took out the old phone and the time showed 6:30. There is still half an hour left until the agreed seven o'clock. The 'Meise' club is not far from here. She was about to take a taxi when her phone suddenly rang. The name jumping on the screen is still 'Lianhua'. Lin Wan's lips curved with a hint of sarcasm as she picked up the phone. Late at night! Have you left yet? Where have you been? "Bai Lianhua's voice was still full of enthusiasm, but upon closer listening, it seemed that there was a hint of imperceptible urgency and... nervousness more than during the day? Just finished styling, ready to go over, "Lin Wan said calmly. "Oh, that's great! I can't wait to see you!" Bai Lianhua smiled, and then the conversation turned to "annoyed" and "sorry". "It's too late. Let me tell you something. I'm temporarily delayed in a small matter, and I may not be able to wait for you at the door on time. But it doesn't matter! I have already said hello to the waiter at the door. You can directly report my name, and he will take you in! You go ahead and play casually, and I'll be there soon!" The same words as in previous lives! In her past life, she believed this and went in alone, like a little lamb that had mistakenly entered a wolf pack, lost and confused, ultimately falling into their carefully designed trap. Lin Wan sneered coldly from the bottom of her heart, but her tone pretended to be a bit hesitant: "Ah? Can I go in by myself? I don't know anyone else..." "An An An An! They are all young people, they will soon become familiar with each other! Wait for me!" Bai Lianhua didn't give her a chance to refuse, quickly finished speaking, and hung up the phone again. Putting down her phone, the chill in Lin Wan's eyes grew even stronger. Bai Lianhua, you haven't changed at all. So, tonight, let's see whose script can impress the whole audience more. She stopped a taxi and named it "Meise". The car drove towards the brightly lit and luxurious place. The neon lights outside the window flashed rapidly, reflecting on her calm yet turbulent eyes.
