Chapter 600: The Tycoon's Daughter
```
"If you really feel embarrassed, then invite me to dinner!" Finally unable to hold back, he blurted out, wanting to hook up with Jessica.
Yet Jessica acted as if she hadn't a single defensive bone in her body, saying, "Sure, you pick the place."
"So I'll lead the way?" Baili Yuntian couldn't believe Jessica had agreed so readily, and was overjoyed. Could it be his lucky day for a romantic encounter?
"Okay! But we have two cars here, whose should we take?" Jessica asked.
"Let's take mine, you can leave your car here, and we'll get it after we've eaten," Baili Yuntian suggested.
Jessica nodded, adopting a compliant demeanor, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Jessica tried her best to appear very fond of Baili Yuntian, which made his heart bloom with joy.
Being able to afford a Ferrari, this girl must come from a rich family; maybe he'd get to spend time with a wealthy heiress.
Afterwards, Jessica got into Baili Yuntian's car, and the two left the residential area together.
Hao Jian instructed Wang Daxiong and a few bodyguards, "Follow them. I'll keep watch on that Liu Yulan here."
Then Hao Jian continued his surveillance because he had previously investigated Liu Yulan and knew that she wasn't exclusive to Baili Yuntian. While deriding Baili Yuntian's money, she also had a young gigolo on the side.
Hao Jian's goal was simple: to dig up the scandal between Liu Yulan and Baili Yuntian, to make them fall out and destroy each other.
Sure enough, before long, a flamboyantly dressed, somewhat effeminate-looking pretty boy entered the residential area. Hao Jian noticed him right away, his instinct telling him this was the gigolo Liu Yulan was keeping.
"Follow him and make sure to capture some incriminating evidence," Hao Jian instructed one of his underlings.
The underling hurriedly followed with a camera, and surely enough, the gigolo went straight into Liu Yulan's apartment, where the two of them started passionately making out at the door.
Afterward, the underling returned to the parking lot to show the pictures to Hao Jian.
Hao Jian took the photos with a smile, and then said to Spice Ginger, "Let's go, it's time to act!"
Bang!
Hao Jian kicked in the door and upon entering the room, he saw a man and a woman in the midst of passionate lovemaking. He recognized the woman as Liu Yulan at a glance.
Liu Yulan and her companion never expected someone to burst in. At first, she thought Baili Yuntian had come back, turning her pale with fright. But once she saw the intruders were strangers, she immediately became enraged. Without even bothering to dress, she pointed at Hao Jian and his men and cursed, "Who are you? Why are you kicking in my door? Do you know who I am?"
"Liu Yulan, Baili Yuntian's mistress!" Hao Jian sneered.
Hearing this, Liu Yulan was shocked still; the opponents actually knew her? Then she had a bad premonition, "What do you want?"
Liu Yulan was aware of Baili Yuntian's status. With his status, he surely had enemies. Could these people be Baili Yuntian's enemies?
She was right to guess—Hao Jian indeed had issues with Baili Yuntian. But his reasons for going after her weren't just about Baili Yuntian.
"I'm an enemy of Baili Yuntian!" Hao Jian plainly stated his identity, and at that moment, Spice Ginger cooperatively pulled out a gun.
Seeing the gun, Liu Yulan and her pretty boy were instantly terrified.
"Baili Yuntian isn't here, he just left. He drove off in a white Porsche, the license plate is XXX, you can still catch up to him if you hurry!" Liu Yulan immediately sold out Baili Yuntian without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hao Jian could only coldly laugh to himself. Indeed, ***** have no loyalty. If only Baili Yuntian knew that the mistress he spent so much money on had so readily betrayed him, what would his feelings be?
"I'm not here for him, I'm here for you!" Hao Jian sneered, then ordered his underling to vigorously photograph Liu Yulan and her gigolo, capturing evidence of their consensual affair.
"What do you want with me? I'm just his mistress, he doesn't care much about me. Even if you capture me, they won't bother with you," Liu Yulan said in a panic, afraid that Hao Jian and his people would kidnap them to blackmail Baili Yuntian. She knew very well that Baili Yuntian didn't really care about her, and even if he learned she had been captured, he probably wouldn't come to her rescue.
"You're overthinking it, I have no plans to kidnap you, nor to use you to blackmail Baili Yuntian," Hao Jian stated.
"Then what do you want?" Liu Yulan was astonished.
```
"I need you to dig some secrets out of Baili Yuntian, preferably business secrets that are not known to the public," Hao Jian said.
"Impossible, I'm just Yuntian's mistress, not his wife, he never shares the affairs of the Baili Family with me," Liu Yulan shook her head, she was just one of Yuntian's mistresses, how could she possibly have access to secrets?
"I don't care about that, if I can't get what I want, then I'll show these photos to Yuntian. What do you think he would do to you if he knew you're using his money to keep a gigolo? What will he do to your gigolo?" Hao Jian chuckled maliciously.
Upon hearing this, the gigolo was immediately terrified and clutched Liu Yulan's hand, "Lan'er, agree to his demands, otherwise, we'll both die!"
"Shut up!" Liu Yulan retorted angrily, then turned to Hao Jian: "Even if I told you, he wouldn't let me off if he found out it was me who betrayed him."
He also knew that Baili Yuntian was not someone to be trifled with. If Yuntian knew he had been involved with his woman, he would make life a living hell for him.
"As long as I don't tell him, how would he know it was you who betrayed him? Also, once the job is done, I'll give you ten million as a reward, if you feel unsafe, you can take the money and flee or immigrate to another country, so that Yuntian can never find you again," Hao Jian tempted, trying to get Liu Yulan to lower her guard.
"Let me think it over," Liu Yulan was still hesitant. She always felt that things shouldn't be so simple. Although Hao Jian made it sound easy, who knew what could happen along the way?
Moreover, she did not know Hao Jian well, who knew whether he would actually give her the money?
Hearing this, Hao Jian suddenly scoffed and pulled out a chair to sit down: "I think you don't understand something, I'm not asking for your opinion. If you don't do it, Yuntian will immediately get these photos, and you and your gigolo will be dead. But if you do it, there might still be a chance for you to survive."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yulan's face immediately turned very ugly. Hao Jian was telling her that she had no room for choice, she could only obediently follow his orders.
"I... I'll do it!" Liu Yulan gritted her teeth and said, at this point, she had no choice but to risk everything.
Hao Jian snapped his fingers, stood up, and said with a smile, "Good, I'll wait for your good news!"
At the other end, Jessica was having dinner with Baili Yuntian.
Baili Yuntian had not yet realized that a conspiracy against him had just begun.
"By the way, I still don't know your name," Baili Yuntian suddenly asked.
"My name is Jessica!" Jessica answered with a smile, every action oozing charm. After all, she had been in the world of romantic affairs for many years and knew exactly how to tempt men and which moves were irresistible to them.
Sure enough, seeing Jessica behaving so seductively, Yuntian immediately lost his resistance and exclaimed, "Jessica, what a beautiful name. You sort of look like a foreigner, are you mixed race?"
"Yes, my father is an American, and my mother is a Huaxia person," Jessica replied, following the script they had previously arranged.
"What does your father do?" Yuntian asked tentatively, wanting to know exactly who Jessica was.
"My father is a financial tycoon in Wall Street, specializing in the oil business. He's planning to exploit an oil field in the Middle East soon to expand his business," Jessica said with a light smile, answering whatever Yuntian asked but without elaboration, to avoid arousing suspicion.
Yuntian was immediately surprised, he had sensed that Jessica's family was wealthy, but had not expected them to be so rich.
Beautiful and from such a background, was fortune favoring him?
Indeed, Yuntian was moved. If he could have a woman like that under him, couldn't he use her family's power to develop the Baili Family? As long as he could bring enormous benefits to the Baili Family, then it wasn't impossible for him to become the Family Head in the future.
Yuntian feigned surprise, "I didn't realize your family was so wealthy. Are you in Huaxia for a vacation this time?"
"Visiting relatives, and also looking for potential business partners for my father," Jessica said.
"Business partners? Your father is so rich, does he need business partners?" Yuntian asked in surprise.
Seeing this, Jessica sighed as if regretful, "You don't understand, that oil field is too big, and the initial investment required is too great. All my father's money is tied up in the stock market, he can't pull out enough cash to cover the costs for the time being, which is why he sent me to Huaxia to look for business partners who could co-develop the oil field."
"However, although the initial investment is substantial, the profit in the later period is more than triple the investment. To be honest, if my father hadn't learned about the project too late and put his money in the stock market, he wouldn't have needed any partners; he could have enjoyed this huge chunk of fat meat all to himself."
At this, Yuntian's eyes gleamed slyly, looking for business partners? Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
Though Yuntian did not know much about oil fields, he was aware that oil was the most profitable commodity. If he could get a share, his future wealth was assured.
