Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Shi Wuqi, an orphan, chose his own name, simply because his code name in the organization is "457"!

Shi Wuqi's organization is a mysterious assassination organization that specializes in adopting orphans from around the world and subjecting them to brutal training with a death elimination system. Only one out of a hundred can survive the fifteen-year training period.

Although Shi Wuqi has "graduated" for two years, he has only completed three "assignments." Not because of his low completion rate, but because he only took on these three "assignments"! It's not that he doesn't want to take on more assignments, but his speed of completion is extremely slow. For tasks with a "time limit," the organization simply doesn't assign them to him.

Once, in order to assassinate a heavily guarded European politician, he worked as a waiter in the restaurant where the politician often dined for seven months, before finding an opportunity to serve him food with a delayed-action, irreversible poison...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This time, Shi Wuqi received a strange task, not to kill, but to go to Shanghai, China, to kidnap a wealthy businessman's family member—a ten-year-old girl.

Originally, he thought this task would be easy, but when he arrived, he found that the target lived in a villa area where all the security personnel were retired special forces, and the security was very tight. Although with his skills, he could probably sneak in unnoticed, it would be impossible to take the target away without alerting anyone!

Under his "cautious" nature, he began to investigate the movements of the target's relatives and friends.

On this day, he was tracking the "young lover" closest to the target.

From afar, he saw the young lover enter a bridal shop. Shi Wuqi immediately followed. However, as he crossed the street, a car drove crookedly towards him. Although he was highly skilled and dodged in time, he was still grazed. Before he flew two meters and fell unconscious, he faintly heard someone cursing, "Damn it, another drunk driver..."

Eric stood in front of the shop window for a moment before walking towards the glass door. The lifelike figure of Eric in the window, with a smile on her face, stood gracefully, with her delicate face, slightly upturned nose, and flower-like lips. It was extremely tempting, making everyone passing by stop and admire.

This was a very exquisite bridal studio, obviously very different. The glass door was automatic, the interior temperature was moderate, the lighting was soft, and the positioning of the mannequins and the display of fabrics as clothes gave the impression not of a store, but of an art exhibition. The color scheme, mood, and atmosphere were all unique, leaving a deep impression.

It was already half past five, nearing closing time. However, there were still many customers coming and going. The characteristic of these customers was mostly women. Occasionally, one or two men appeared, but they were just accompanying. They had no say or decision-making power!

Eric's entrance naturally attracted attention. A pretty shop assistant walked over. Although there was a hint of intoxication in her eyes, she still smiled and asked politely, "Sir, may I help you with something?"

Eric nodded slightly in response and said, "I'm here to find someone."

The shop assistant's face showed a hint of realization, and a hint of admiration. She asked, "Sir, does your female companion have a specific location?" Without waiting for Eric's answer, she explained thoughtfully, "The second and third floors of our store are where customers select fabric and clothing materials, the fourth floor is where various ready-made clothes are displayed, and the fifth floor is the designer's studio..."

Eric smiled and interrupted her, "I'm looking for someone on the sixth floor!"

The shop assistant was slightly surprised and asked respectfully, "Please tell me your name, I need to consult the assistant to the vice president!"

"Eric."

"The Chairman..." The shop assistant covered her mouth again. Even if she didn't like to surf the internet or read newspapers, since she joined the Ling Yan Group, how could she not know the name of her big boss?

"I'm sorry, Chairman, I didn't know it was you..." The shop assistant panicked and quickly bowed to apologize.

"It's okay, this is your job after all, you don't need to apologize!" Eric said indifferently, "Do you need to confirm with the assistant to the vice president?"

Blushing, the shop assistant shook her head. She didn't doubt the words of this "stranger" at all and said directly, "No need, Chairman. The vice president has been on the fifth floor during his visits to our store these days. You should go there first to take a look..."

As they spoke, the shop assistant led Eric to the elevator. After entering the elevator, Eric politely nodded again at the shop assistant to express his gratitude.

As the elevator doors closed tightly, the shop assistant's eyes were misty, thinking, "He's so handsome and refined! If Chairman didn't already have the stunning Vice President Tang and the legendary President Tan, I would definitely offer myself to him..."

Ignoring the shop assistant's regret at the elevator, Eric was also pondering inside the elevator. He wondered why Tang Feiyan had been coming here so often these days, neglecting a lot of matters at Ling Yan Group. This bridal studio, although well-known in Shanghai, was only a subsidiary of a subsidiary under Ling Yan Group. What was there to inspect? Yet she had come several days in a row...

The elevator was not fast, but exceptionally smooth. There was a plaque after each floor indicating its function, with bold golden letters in Chinese and English, very conspicuous.

Stepping out of the elevator, the whole wall was glass, half covered by bright yellow curtains. From the uncovered part, you could see the interior layout, but Eric didn't pay attention to that, only searching for Tang Feiyan.

He found her.

Eric walked over gently, although the glass door was open, he still knocked.

The sudden sound made Tang Feiyan turn her head and notice Eric. Obviously, Eric's arrival caught her by surprise. She put the paintbrush in her hand to her lips, with a slightly startled expression that was extremely charming!

At this moment, Eric was also slightly surprised, because the way Tang Feiyan was dressed and looked like a fashion designer. She was surrounded by several young women who looked like customers.

Tang Feiyan's assistant hurried towards Eric, but stopped halfway, apparently recognizing that the man who appeared suddenly was her boss's boss!

Eric smiled and nodded politely to the assistant, who bowed slightly in return, then walked slowly towards Tang Feiyan.

Several female customers also noticed Eric, their eyes shining. However, Eric completely ignored their "amazed" and "provocative" looks.

Indeed, they were all young and beautiful, well-dressed, and dazzling gems elsewhere. Unfortunately, in front of Tang Feiyan's natural beauty and various charms, they could only be "ugly ducklings"! Even if Eric and Tang Feiyan were strangers, there was absolutely no room for them in his eyes at this moment!

When Eric approached, Tang Feiyan finally came to her senses, stood up, and smiled. But before she could speak, Eric spoke first, "Excuse me, do you design men's clothing?"

Several female customers were interested in this and two of them even giggled. Perhaps they thought Eric's attitude was too serious to be a joke, and there was no precedent for a man to seek clothing from a "female bridal designer." So, they shifted their curious gaze from Eric to Tang Feiyan, ready to see how she would respond.

Tang Feiyan glanced at Eric with a charming and imperceptible disdain. She said softly, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment!"

Eric sat down on a nearby sofa and watched Tang Feiyan and the customers discussing some details. From their conversation, one of the customers was going to be a bride and had come here to design a wedding dress.

Dozens of sketches were spread out on the table, one of which happened to fall at Eric's feet. He picked it up. The sketch was simple, but the bride's wedding dress vividly fluttered in the wind. The "model" in the sketch, whose features had not been outlined, strangely gave Eric a sense of familiarity!

Women's common problem was being talkative. It took ten minutes just for a discussion about a veil. However, Eric didn't feel neglected because the women would occasionally give him a "provocative" hint. Of course, except for Tang Feiyan's, he ignored the rest.

Finally, it was settled. As the customers left, they all glanced at Eric, some of them with even more eager eyes. Eric, unperturbed, stood up and gracefully watched them leave.

As Tang Feiyan's assistant hurriedly packed up, she approached Eric and said politely, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, sir! What kind of clothing do you need me to design for you?"

Eric solemnly stated his need, "I want a pair of underwear that can be worn outside!"
