Huayu: It's normal for me, as a director, to mentor young actresses, right?

Chapter 48 The Honey Trap, The Fake Honey Trap

Whether or not the honey trap tactic is unethical is hard to say; it depends on who it's used on.

But if you ask whether it's easy to use, I can only say that it's incredibly easy to use.

If you were to ask Lin Yu if he felt any guilt about using this tactic, his answer would be, "Sorry, I come from the mountains, I don't know anything about these things."

Of course, Zeng Zhiwei was unaware of Lin Yu's thoughts; he simply felt that things were going extremely well for him.

In other words, there's no one he can call "brother" by his side right now, and he just wants to shout, "Brother, I'm doing so well!"

Unfortunately, he only has two young women with him now, so it's not his place to say this "famous quote."

He was being helped unsteadily toward the elevator, completely unaware that Boss Wang's gaze was now filled with icy coldness.

Watching Zeng Zhiwei get into the elevator, Boss Wang took out his phone and dialed: "Boss, the matter is settled."

"Okay, go to the nearest police station to report the crime in an hour." The voice on the other end of the phone was quite deep.

"Understood." Boss Wang hung up the phone, looking at the numbers flashing on the elevator display screen. "What an idiot."

-----------------

Ten minutes later, at the executive lounge of a hotel in Shenzhen.

Huo Qigang, who was sitting next to Lin Yu, felt his phone vibrate.

After Huo Qigang finished reading the message, he turned to Lin Yu and asked, "The matter is settled. Are you going now, or will you wait a little longer?"

Lin Yu was leaning back on the sofa drinking cola when he heard this. He sighed, "After being in the Hong Kong entertainment circle for so long, don't you have any vigilance at all?"

Watching his unsuspecting prey walk into the trap, Lin Yu felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

It felt like I put in a lot of effort, only to find out my opponent was an idiot.

"So what's the scenario you're imagining?" Looking at Lin Yu's disappointed expression, Huo Qigang laughed. "You chase, he escapes, he has no way to get away?"

He found it increasingly amusing as he spoke, "How about you two make an idol drama, and I'll invest in it?"

"Get lost, don't fucking disgust me." Lin Yu grabbed a nearby cushion and threw it at him. "Go ahead and hit me, I have several girlfriends."

"Sorry, your sister-in-law won't agree to me going." Huo Qigang caught the cushion and smiled smugly.

"Alright, I know you're a couple, stop showing off." Lin Yu put down his cola, stood up, and asked, "Is everything arranged with Tangren?"

"Don't worry." Kenneth Fok's smile faded. "As soon as he goes in, people on Hong Kong Island will put pressure on Tangren. When she's cornered, my men will appear before her like saviors."

"Wow, this is so much like a domineering CEO falling in love with me!" Lin Yu exclaimed dramatically. "I'm voting for this idol drama."

"You're really disgusting." This time it was Huo Qigang's turn to hit Lin Yu. "Go quickly, I, your savior, can't wait to go and save him first."

-----------------

Zeng Zhiwei lay in the pool, feeling as if the ceiling was spinning, and he felt extremely comfortable.

He closed his eyes, his mind still replaying the compliments he had just received.

"Mr. Zeng was not afraid of powerful figures."

"Mr. Zeng is truly our role model."

"The Hong Kong entertainment circle will surely shine again under Mr. Tsang's leadership."

He laughed, a very happy laugh. In his mind, he already felt that Hong Kong, under his leadership, had surpassed Hollywood and become the world's center for film and television production.

"Be gentle!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my arm.

He frowned and complained, "Didn't your boss train you guys at all?"

But there was no response. Instead, the pressure on his arms increased. Zeng Zhiwei opened his eyes and found that the two sweet girls massaging his arms were no longer the same ones from before.

Instead, it was a tall, handsome young man in a white shirt, whose shoes were grinding against his wrists.

But he had never seen this person before.

Zeng Zhiwei sobered up instantly. He wasn't stupid; the reason he fell into such a simple trap was because his arrogance had blinded him. So the moment he saw Lin Yu, he knew he was doomed.

He quickly grabbed a towel from the side, wrapped it around himself, took a deep breath, and put on a smile again.

"May I ask who you are, and what brings you to me?"

Lin Yu loosened his legs and let him wrap himself in a bath towel, since he had no interest in a pile of dark, fat flesh.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yu said with a smile, "Boss Zeng, you seem to have a bad memory. We were talking on the phone just a few months ago?"

Zeng Zhiwei carefully recalled the people he had ever been in contact with, but he couldn't remember the face in front of him.

"Sorry, bro," he said, patting his head. His tone was apologetic and ingratiating. "I've had a bit too much to drink, my head's a little foggy. Could you give me a hint?"

Lin Yu's smile widened. "Boss Zeng is a benefactor, of course he wouldn't remember a nobody like me."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Sugar Man, is this hint enough?"

Zeng Zhiwei's smile froze. He instantly remembered that phone call and the "scoundrel" he had cursed, who was now standing right in front of him.

But the change in his expression lasted only a second before he put on a warm smile.

"It's Mr. Lin." Zeng Zhiwei slapped his thigh, his tone becoming more friendly. "Mr. Lin, if there's anything you need, you could just call and give me instructions. Why did you come all the way here in person?"

If you didn't see the context and just listened to their conversation, you'd think Zeng Zhiwei was Lin Yu's loyal subordinate, since they all turned on each other faster than flipping through a book.

"Brother Zeng, you're too kind. How could I dare to give you orders?" Lin Yu found a clean chair and sat down. "I just came to check on you. What would be the consequences if I didn't give you face?"

Zeng Zhiwei's smile slowly faded; he knew things were definitely not going to end well today: "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Hong Kong entertainment circle for doing this to me?"

Lin Yu looked at him incredulously, "No, you don't actually believe the slogans you've been shouting lately, do you?"

Zeng Zhiwei paused for a moment before coming to his senses. He then changed his tune: "Even without all that, I have a very close relationship with the Huo family. It was just a matter of hiring a prostitute; I'll be out in a few days."

His tone became more forceful, "We can still sit down and have a proper talk then."

Hearing Zeng Zhiwei bring up his powerful backer, Lin Yu was really about to lose his composure, but he forced himself to hold back.

"So I took advantage of your visit to Hong Kong Island." Lin Yu pursed his lips, afraid of laughing out loud. "And also, the charge is rape. Those in Hong Kong's underworld who have grudges against you are already lining up outside the Shenzhen Police Station."

Zeng Zhiwei's face turned deathly pale instantly; he knew he couldn't escape this calamity.

"Mr. Lin," his tone softened, "we can discuss your conditions. Why go to such lengths?"

Zeng Zhiwei still harbored the illusion of peace talks, after all, Lin Yu had no need to personally intervene in this situation and increase the risk.

"No, no, no, Boss Zeng." Lin Yu looked at the disheveled Zeng Zhiwei, "I have no conditions. You are very important to me."

"You bastard, you think you can get away just because you're here?" Zeng Zhiwei's eyes instantly turned fierce. "There are security cameras on every floor of the hotel; you can't escape!"

"The hotel's security cameras broke yesterday and have been under repair ever since," Lin Yu waved his hand. "But don't worry, the people coming will be equipped with the latest body cameras."

Zeng Zhiwei stared intently at Lin Yu, his voice filled with resentment, "Then why did you make this trip yourself?"

"Of course, it's to humiliate you." Lin Yu looked at Zeng Zhiwei, his smile slowly fading. "Damn it."
