Chapter 1078 1076: Psychiatric Hospital
"That person?"
"That's right, back in the day she was quite the legendary figure. Any man she set her sights on wouldn't live beyond a month..." Yang Yuan's face took on an even more sinister look.
"Can she really do it?" The housekeeper asked skeptically.
"Hey, don't underestimate her..." Yang Yuan smirked.
"Then, sir, I'll go bring her here now."
"Hmm, go quickly, but make sure it's discreet, no one should see." Yang Yuan instructed.
"Sir, when I handle matters, you can trust me!" The housekeeper retreated.
Two hours later.
Inside a mental asylum.
Though named a mental asylum, it was actually a place Yang Yuan used to detain dissidents.
Lou Xiuying had earned the privilege of living here.
Mainly because her influence had been too large.
Drawing significant attention from above.
So Yang Yuan took matters into his own hands and arrested her.
But her actions didn't quite amount to a crime.
After all, those men, though they died because of her, died willingly.
Initially, Yang Yuan intended to make Lou Xiuying disappear straightaway.
But too many people had been involved in the matter back then.
So Yang Yuan arranged for her to be placed in the mental asylum.
Years flew by.
Yang Yuan almost forgot about her existence.
If not for the fact he couldn't think of a way to deal with Tang Zhengguo.
He might never have remembered Lou Xiuying.
This woman had been spoken of with wild exaggeration back then.
So many versions of the story, none confirmed as truth.
But what could be confirmed.
She truly had the ability to do that.
No matter how strong the man, once in her hands.
He wouldn't survive beyond a month.
In front of the housekeeper was a chair, bound to it was a woman wearing a patient's gown.
The woman seemed to be at least in her thirties or forties, her hair disheveled.
Time had left considerable marks on her.
Yet she still possessed allure.
"Sir, what brings you to look for me?" Lou Xiuying pursed her lips, speaking in a sweet, soft voice.
Despite losing her once youthful glow, her voice remained as enchanting as ever.
Almost unchanged from ten years ago.
"Want to get out?" The housekeeper was direct.
Lou Xiuying raised her head upon hearing this and grinned.
Showing a mouthful of white teeth.
"What, need me for something?"
"Need? You're overthinking it." The housekeeper snorted coldly.
"Nothing you need me for, then forget it." Lou Xiuying immediately closed her eyes, her expression indicating she couldn't care less.
"Lou Xiuying, if you keep this up, do you believe you'll never get out?" The housekeeper said, somewhat annoyed.
Lou Xiuying opened her eyes upon hearing this, casting a disdainful glance at the housekeeper, saying, "Oh, scare me, huh? In here, I have food and drink, not going out means not going out."
"You!" The housekeeper's face turned sour.
After a moment, a cold smile appeared on the housekeeper's face, saying, "Lou Xiuying, I know you're skilled, just a few days ago, you got one of the guards killed."
"Oh dear, sir, be careful with your words, what do you mean by killed by me? Look, I'm just a weak woman, how could I kill someone?" Lou Xiuying said with a look of grievance.
Sadly, ten years of captivity had taken away her former splendor.
"Heh, you still want to deny it? Fine, you like living here, don't you? Then I'll make sure you stay here forever. Tomorrow, I'll have all the guards here replaced with women!" The housekeeper coldly laughed.
Lou Xiuying finally showed a slight change in expression.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Lou Xiuying stretched lazily, saying, "But let me be clear, I won't do anything illegal."
"Hearing that come out of your mouth sounds a bit ironic, no?" The housekeeper was speechless.
"Sir, you can't say that, I haven't broken any laws, but you all, who knows how many shady things you've done behind closed doors." Due to her long stay in the mental asylum.
Lou Xiuying had come to know quite a bit about the inside information.
Don't be fooled by this small mental asylum.
In reality, who knows how many big figures are being held here.
"Lou Xiuying, I advise you to mind your words, or it won't be beneficial for you." The housekeeper's face stiffened.
"Oh, sorry, sir, I didn't say anything just now." Lou Xiuying hastily covered her mouth.
"Lou Xiuying, this time I came looking for you to ask for help dealing with someone."
"Man or woman? If it's a man, easy. If it's a woman, then I can't handle that." Lou Xiuying pouted.
"Of course it's a man, why else would I seek you out."
"Then that's settled." Lou Xiuying laughed.
"But, looking at you now..." The housekeeper looked at Lou Xiuying, a world of difference from those years ago.
If it were other men, it would be easy to say.
He believed Lou Xiuying could handle it.
However, the one he wanted Lou Xiuying to deal with was Tang Zhengguo.
This man, full of righteousness, was not going to be easy to handle.
Moreover, a month ago, Tang Zhengguo was lying in the ICU with a critical condition notice issued.
"What? Does the sir think Lou Xiuying has grown old or isn't attractive anymore?" Noticing the housekeeper's expression, Lou Xiuying felt somewhat displeased.
"What do you think?"
"Here's the deal, bring me what I need, I only need an hour. If I can't make you tempted, I, Lou Xiuying, will not take this job." Lou Xiuying said.
"What do you need?" The housekeeper asked.
"Of course, several sets of nice clothes, preferably with scissors, needle and thread, then a complete set of cosmetics..." Lou Xiuying said.
