Lan Bing looked like she was ready to rest. She had already changed into her pajamas. Her pajamas were made of purple ice silk. As usual, it covered her body from head to toe. However, unlike usual, this was a slim-fit pajamas that outlined her graceful figure.
Especially her legs. Her long legs were comparable to Dai Yi's. Her straight and slender silhouette could be seen through the pajamas. Coupled with her light and graceful steps as she walked down the stairs, Ding Meng tried his best not to look at her. It was easy to overthink things if he looked at her for too long.
Before Ding Meng could speak, Lan Bing spoke first. "Not bad. I heard that you spent more than two million star coins on Mr. Shen for lunch today."
"Ahem!" Ding Meng was a little embarrassed. "This … Mr. Shen is very passionate, very passionate, very passionate …"
Lan Bing sat down opposite him and picked up the calming tea on the coffee table. "With you at the branch, it seems like he won't dare to come here for a while."
Ding Meng wondered if he had become this woman's shield again.
People said that beautiful women were poison, but everyone wanted to eat them. People said that money was evil, but everyone wanted it. In the past, Ding Meng did not think much of this saying. Now, it seemed like it was true.
Lan Bing was sitting opposite him. Although she was not close to him, the intoxicating fragrance made Ding Meng feel even more terrified.
"Do you know that you've been praised this time?" Lan Bing said calmly.
Ding Meng was curious. "Oh?"
Lan Bing said, "Yu Anjie and his elder sister are very optimistic about you!"
Ding Meng said, "Is it because of Planet V9?"
Lan Bing took a sip of her drink. "The Xinhong Group has already dismantled the base of Planet V9. Unfortunately, we don't know where they moved Qu Jing to yet!"
Ding Meng frowned. "Mr. Yu and the others don't know either?"
Lan Bing nodded. "Yes!"
Ding Meng sighed. "Seems like I'm being nosy!"
Lan Bing suddenly stared at him. "You're not a busybody. I know that you were the one who saved the descendants of those doctors, so this time, you can't just sit back and watch."
Ding Meng's words didn't sound like much, but when he thought about it carefully, he immediately raised his guard. Lan Bing was just one step away from asking where Jin Tai and the others had gone.
However, the secrets of Planet V4 must not be revealed!
Ding Meng had no choice but to change the topic. "Oh yeah, I want some equipment!"
Lan Bing was a little surprised. "With your current strength, you still need equipment?
What kind of equipment? "
Ding Meng said, "It'd better be something like armor!"
Do you have armor for Battle Saints?
The answer was yes. However, even if there were such battle armors, there would not be many of them. At the very least, there were none on the market. Only a major corporation like Starry Rainbow could produce such battle armors.
Lan Bing's train of thought changed quickly. "Where are you going this time?"
Ding Meng didn't plan to hide it. "I want to take a trip to Beidou."
Lan Bing was silent. This was one of her strengths. She never took the initiative to ask for the reason. However, she could imagine that Ding Meng was going on a long journey this time. He was making preparations in advance.
Lan Bing suddenly stood up and paced in front of the coffee table with a cup in her hand. She looked like she was thinking about something. After a long time, she said, "Until now, I have never seen Ling Xingqi's true face!"
This was why Ding Meng was a little afraid of her. She could basically guess what you were thinking as soon as you opened your mouth to speak.
Ding Meng asked curiously, "You've never seen her before?"
"Yes!"
Lan Bing nodded with a serious expression. "More than ten years ago, she attended the Starry Rainbow Corporation's centennial celebration. She didn't leave behind any images or records, and she hasn't shown herself since. I'm sure you're aware of the rumors that she's been running around for the Starry Rainbow Corporation. I've also confirmed this with Yu Anjie. She has indeed been active in outer space."
Ding Meng had a rough idea. The remnants of the Quintessential Crystals on Planet Beidou and the Quintessential Crystals on the secret base on Planet V9 were definitely related. He had come back to verify this with Lan Bing. He believed that with Lan Bing's reach, she would definitely know something.
He didn't completely believe her. He had always been wary of Lan Bing. However, he had a strong intuition that Lan Bing definitely knew something. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to guess his thoughts so accurately.
"The Starry Rainbow Corporation's influence on Planet Beidou is huge. It's far greater than Shenghao's."
Lan Bing said unhurriedly, "The Starry Rainbow Corporation provided the technical support that allowed Nanling City on Planet Beidou to build such a huge spaceport. Furthermore, the Hubolls Clan did it through legal means. They paid the Starry Rainbow Corporation a high price for the design of the spaceport. No one can say anything about this …"
Ding Meng stared at her. "You think I've been targeting the Starry Rainbow Corporation ever since I came back?"
Lan Bing also seemed to be expressionless. "You asked me for the armor, and you wanted to go to Planet Beidou. I can't help but associate you with Ling Xingqi."
Ding Meng sighed. "I'm not targeting her."
Lan Bing also sighed. "I understand. Perhaps our goals are the same."
Ding Meng asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?"
Lan Bing said, "My power is limited. I can't reach outer space. This is an important reason why I kept you by my side as my secretary."
Ding Meng stared at her. "I believe that you're telling the truth."
Lan Bing didn't say anything else. Suddenly, she did something very shocking. She slowly put down the small crystal cup and walked elegantly to sit down beside Ding Meng.
Her sitting posture was quite interesting. Lan Bing crossed her legs, but her body was almost leaning against Ding Meng. Even though it wasn't a true zero distance, Ding Meng could feel the astonishingly warm and soft body of hers through the air. That fragrance, that charm, that gentleness unique to women, it wasn't seduction at all. It was a huge threat.
Ding Meng didn't move. He only took a deep breath.
Lan Bing glanced at him. "What are you afraid of?"
Ding Meng quibbled, "I'm not afraid!"
Lan Bing said, "If you're not afraid, then why are you so nervous?"
Ding Meng said, "I'm not nervous either!"
"Is that so?" Lan Bing smiled coldly. Her soft body gently pressed against his body.
Ding Meng couldn't help but shiver. His entire body trembled.
Lan Bing smiled. "People who are being taken advantage of are always calm and collected. However, the person who's taken advantage of is always overreacting. Relax!"
It would be strange if Ding Meng could relax because Lan Bing made an even bolder move. She reached out her slender hand and gently grasped Ding Meng's left hand. Their fingers intertwined …
This was even more paralyzing than an electromagnetic-type attack. Ding Meng felt his entire body go limp. It wasn't that he hadn't touched Lan Bing's hand before. It could even be said that he had touched even more private parts of her body. However, that time was different from this time. That time was too absurd. It was so absurd that it felt like a dream. Everything was too surreal. However, this time, it was real. It wasn't a dream.
Suddenly, Ding Meng returned to normal. He let out a long sigh. "Did I fall into your trap again?"
He finally realized how cunning Lan Bing was. While he was distracted, Lan Bing's hands had already rolled up his suit sleeves. Her slender hand pressed on his wrist device.
Actually, this wasn't considered an outrageous move. The problem was that above the device, the Divine Light Bracer on his wrist was exposed. Lan Bing's gaze fell on the bracer. Her expression became thoughtful. "Don't worry. I'm not a threat to you. In your eyes, I might not be a threat either."
Ding Meng's expression darkened. "At least you know your place!"
A faint smile appeared on Lan Bing's face. "Do you know?
I'm the only one who has such a fleeting opportunity. If it were someone else, they might not even have a chance. "
Ding Meng said, "Oh?
Tell me, how did you find out? "
Lan Bing said seriously, "I found out when you first came to the Snow Peak Building. At that time, you were in my office. Both of us have applied telekinesis, so there was a blind spot in our vision, so we could only observe with the senses of ordinary people. However, your attention was all focused on me, so you ignored my gaze."
Ding Meng frowned and said, "What kind of explanation is that?
I don't understand! "
Lan Bing said, "You're a man, so of course you don't understand. However, as a woman, you're very sensitive in this aspect. When you were sitting on the sofa in the office that day, although you didn't move and your eyes didn't stop on me, I knew that you were secretly observing me. You were observing my figure, face, clothes, hair accessories, hairstyle, jewelry, and all the other details. For a moment, you even observed the size of my breasts. You don't have to deny it, and don't ask why. Because I could feel it."
Ding Meng couldn't help but sigh. "You are indeed an authority in this aspect!"
Lan Bing smiled again. "So when you were observing me, you didn't notice that I had already discovered this strange thing in your hand!"
Ding Meng was speechless. Although his strength now far exceeded Lan Bing's, every time the two of them fought or interacted, Lan Bing always had the initiative and the upper hand.
Lan Bing continued, "You're a Battle-Saint. It's difficult for others to even get close to you, let alone have ideas about you. Therefore, I think that in order to get close to you, this person must meet a few conditions. First, it must be someone close to you. Second, it must be a woman. Third, this woman must not be very resistant to you. Fourth, this woman must be able to distract you …"
Ding Meng sighed again. "Listening to what you said, there aren't many women who meet these conditions."
Lan Bing said, "Although Sister Yan is the woman you trust the most, it's impossible for her to have intimate contact with you."
Ding Meng nodded. He had to admit that Meng Yan only had admiration for him, and absolutely no love for him.
Lan Bing said, "The only people who meet these two conditions are me and the Dai Family's Fifth Miss. However, Dai Yi definitely doesn't know what this thing in your hand is."
Ding Meng turned his head and stared at her in shock. "Don't tell me you know?"
Lan Bing let go of his hand and walked towards the stairs. "Come, let me show you something!"
