When he returned to the CEO's office on the top floor, Lan Bing was still handling company affairs at her desk. Ding Meng did not disturb her and sat down on the sofa alone. Only then did he notice a special wristwatch on the coffee table.
This wristwatch was bulky and looked very old compared to the luxury watches of Sheng Hao Group. Its grayish-brown exterior made it look silly and thick.
"What is this?" Ding Meng was curious.
"This is a pass for you!" Lan Bing slowly stood up from her seat.
"A pass?" Ding Meng was even more curious.
Lan Bing walked over. "Planet Beidou is like an independent kingdom. Not everyone can go there. You must have a pass. This wristwatch has an entry and exit card for Nanling City. Otherwise, it would be useless if you can't enter Nanling City when you get to Planet Beidou."
Ding Meng opened the wristwatch and found that this wristwatch was an anonymous product. This meant that he could use this system as a cover for multiple identities.
Lan Bing was very thoughtful. Ding Meng said gratefully, "Thank you!"
Lan Bing then sat down opposite him. "You're welcome. It's nothing."
Ding Meng could not help but smile bitterly. It was indeed easy for her to get these things, but it was hard for others to get them.
After fiddling with the wristwatch for a while, he found that the anonymous information card in the wristwatch had a total of 13 billion star coins. He was even more surprised. "Where did this money come from?"
Lan Bing said, "Once you get there, you won't be able to move an inch without money. What you're going to do is definitely not trivial, so you'll have to spend a lot of money."
Ding Meng said hesitantly, "Is this my salary as a secretary?"
"You're overthinking it!"
Lan Bing replied calmly. "This is my personal savings for the past 30 years. I started at Haitian Group and worked at Sheng Hao Group. It wasn't easy to save this much."
This was indeed an astronomical figure for an ordinary person. Although Lan Bing's status was not low, it was not easy to save up 13 billion.
Ding Meng could not figure out what the woman was up to this time. He only felt that the wristband was a little hot. "Does this count as a private stash?"
"Yes!" Lan Bing's expression didn't change. "You can also see it as an investment!"
Investment?
Not using Sheng Hao's money to invest but using your own savings?
What was the meaning of this?
Lan Bing explained, "If the investment is successful, we might have to leave the Blue Moon branch."
Ding Meng wondered if he would be transferred to the headquarters.
He also knew that the Yu siblings appreciated him very much. Yu Anjie was worried that he wouldn't have the chance to officially recruit Lan Bing to Saint Splendor.
"What if you fail?" Ding Meng was curious.
Lan Bing's expression sank. "If you fail, then you won't be able to come back. You'll have nothing left."
Ding Meng was silent. "Is Planet Beidou really that dangerous?"
Lan Bing sighed. "Don't underestimate that place. It's completely different from the Federation. Many people want to make a fortune there, but very few come out alive. For many people, it's a path of no return."
Ding Meng stared at her suspiciously. He said meaningfully, "You know quite a lot."
Lan Bing waved her hand and changed the topic. "When are you leaving?"
Ding Meng said, "Tonight!"
Lan Bing said, "Alright, you can go now!"
Ding Meng had just stood up when Lan Bing called out to him again. "Wait!"
Ding Meng said, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Lan Bing said seriously, "Even though you're very suspicious of me, I still have to tell you that I'll wait for you to come back."
Ding Meng sighed. Sometimes, he had a feeling that even he couldn't tell which of her words was true and which were false.
"Alright, thank you for your concern!" Ding Meng said half-heartedly.
However, Lan Bing didn't say anything else. She stared at him with her black eyes. Ding Meng's expression froze. He had actually received a telepathic message from Lan Bing.
"You know how to link minds too?" Ding Meng was shocked. He had forgotten that Lan Bing had also cultivated telekinesis.
Ding Meng immediately activated his telekinesis and probed forward. In the pitch-black blind spot, two auroras merged and quickly established a complete telepathic link.
"Do you believe that I'm telling the truth now?" Lan Bing's message arrived.
Ding Meng immediately sensed that Lan Bing was telling the truth. What's more, through the message, Ding Meng even saw some of Lan Bing's experiences over the past seven years.
After the battle of the water droplet, the Haitian Group had lost its leader, Chu Ming Liang, and its fortunes had plummeted. The Chu family had been taken over by Chu Zhong Yu. Chu Zhong Yu was known for his lecherous nature. Back then, with Chu Ming Liang and Chu Yi Feng around, Chu Zhong Yu had not dared to be impudent. But now that he had become the leader of the Chu family, Chu Zhong Yu had set his sights on Lan Bing. This was a woman that even Chu Ming Liang had set his sights on.
Of course, with Chu Zhongyu's strength, he couldn't have gotten his way. However, the price was that Lan Bing was chased out of Haitian Group.
Just as Lan Bing had said, without the protection of a powerful figure, a woman like her was easily targeted by others.
Ding Meng was surprised to see that Lan Bing, who had left the Haitian Group, was still being watched by Dai Yi's third brother, Dai Ningsheng. He had an impression of that Dai Ningsheng. When they were at Star Splendor University, he was Jiang Haiyi's follower.
If this was in the past, Dai Ningsheng wouldn't have dared to have any ideas about Lan Bing. However, after Lan Bing lost power, he used the Dai Clan's name to invite her. Bai Qingyun and Bai Qingxi were also with him. On the surface, these young masters wanted to recruit talents. In reality, they wanted to trick Lan Bing into joining them so that they could do it on the sea.
However, how could Lan Bing be so easily fooled?
Both sides had fought on the East China Sea Yacht. Lan Bing had been seriously injured by the Bai Family's bodyguards. If Meng Yan had not arrived in time to save her, she would have been dead meat.
Ding Meng suddenly understood. After he caused trouble in the Flying Star City, Lan Bing immediately summoned him as her secretary. Obviously, she was demonstrating to the Dai Clan and the Bai Clan that she was opposing them. It seemed that many things were not without reason.
After that, Lan Bing recuperated in the Dragon Slaying Corps in outer space for more than half a year before her injuries were healed. Ding Meng now knew that Lan Bing had a habit. Every time she suffered a big loss, she deliberately left some scars on her body as a memento, reminding herself not to forget the lesson.
Ding Meng sighed and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that I would bring you so much trouble after I left."
Lan Bing was expressionless as she said coldly, "It's not your fault. I was careless on the yacht that time. I thought that with the prestige of the Dai Clan and the Bai Clan in Blue Pole Star City, they wouldn't do such a dirty thing. However, a few little bastards completely exceeded my understanding. The experts of the Bai Clan actually poisoned my drink in advance …"
Ding Meng suddenly fell silent. At that time, Lan Bing was not yet a warlord. She was just a high-level War Venerable with a profound foundation. She was probably not poisoned but drugged. Once the origin was destroyed, even Dai Ningsheng would not be able to deal with it.
"Where are your injuries?"
Ding Meng also learned from the information that Lan Bing was more seriously injured than ever in the battle on the yacht. Not only was she seriously injured, but Meng Yan, who came to rescue her, was also seriously injured. If it weren't for Meng Yan's Phantom Technique, which allowed her to come and go without a trace, the two women would have suffered.
Lan Bing stared at him and asked, "Are you sure you want to see it?"
Normally, Ding Meng would definitely admit defeat, but this time, he took a deep breath and said, "Let me see it!"
"Okay then!" Lan Bing said decisively, "Take off my pants!"
Ding Meng was stunned. Was her injury in her lower body?
Lan Bing sneered and said, "You don't dare?
Or are you afraid? "
Ding Meng sighed and said, "I've never had the habit of taking off a woman's pants, but I'll make an exception this time!"
After saying that, he quickly lowered his head and slightly exerted force with his eyes. Lan Bing's light gray women's trousers were immediately removed by his telekinesis, and her high heels were removed.
Even Ding Meng, who had always been extremely calm, was stunned this time. His face was as red as a monkey's butt because other than the trousers, Lan Bing was only wearing a pink triangular underwear. Her pair of white jade-like legs were completely exposed to the air.
Her legs were like a flawless work of art. No matter how one looked at them, they were impeccable, and they were comparable to Miss Dai's. However, there was a huge flaw at the hip joint. A shocking dark red scar was embedded in it, and it looked like a terrifying centipede was entrenched there. It was a horrifying sight.
Lan Bing suddenly said, "Can you wipe the blood off your nose first?"
Hmm?
I'm bleeding?
Ding Meng lowered his head again and realized that he really was having a nosebleed!
Damn, I'm a Battle-Saint, and I can't even take this kind of stimulation? My blood vessels are overflowing, and I'm having a nosebleed!
Ding Meng tried his best to control his emotions, but he still felt a fire burning in his heart. This kind of lively scene could kill him.
He took a deep breath and said, "This was caused by a weapon like a serrated sword, right?"
Lan Bing nodded. "My left leg was completely shattered at the time, and Sister Yan broke it again when we were escaping …"
She said it casually, but Ding Meng could still imagine it. Lan Bing must have gritted her teeth and persevered on Meng Yan's spaceship when the mercenary group escaped from Blue Pole Star City all the way to outer space. It was no wonder that she didn't show him the footage of her escape.
Ding Meng took two steps forward, and his tone finally softened. "If I remember correctly, you weren't even a high-level Battle-Saint at that time."
Lan Bing said coldly, "During the few hours we were flying out of the Azure System, I was in so much pain that I fainted six times."
Ding Meng stared at her. "But you still persevered!"
Lan Bing didn't answer. She just looked a little dazed.
Ding Meng said, "Why didn't you heal this scar?"
Lan Bing said, "You should be able to tell that it wasn't that I didn't want to heal it, but that it couldn't be healed at all!"
Ding Meng squatted down and carefully scanned the centipede-like scar with his telekinesis vision. This time, he didn't let Lan Bing's lower body distract him. Instead, he focused on scanning the scar.
A moment later, he said in surprise, "A strange poison from the Devouring World?"
Lan Bing said indifferently, "The Bai family has a few experts who use poison."
Ding Meng was even more surprised. "You were only a Battle-Saint at that time, but they actually used a poison from the Devouring World to deal with you?"
Lan Bing acted as if she was describing something very normal. "This is an aphrodisiac from the Devouring World. Those monsters will only use it before they devour each other to mate. If a human accidentally ingests it, it's enough to turn a woman below the Battle-Master level into a female wolf in heat."
Ding Meng understood now. If it weren't for the fact that Lan Bing was a biochemical Origin Ability user and had risked her life to break through and become a Battle-General, she wouldn't have been able to control the spread of this poison. She might have turned into a strange freak like Jin Tai and the others.
Lan Bing knew what he was thinking. "The Sheng Hao Group originally wanted to get their hands on Jin Tai and the others' technology, but I knew that they were your old friends and Sister Yan's family, so I didn't accept the orders from the headquarters."
No wonder the Sheng Hao Group's headquarters hadn't asked about Jin Tai and the others' whereabouts. She had obviously helped them in secret. Ding Meng knew that he owed her a favor again. He said seriously, "I can heal it!"
Lan Bing's tone softened. "You've fused with the K virus. If you don't heal it, I'll be crippled sooner or later."
