Chapter 048 【Honey Trap】

Gu Feng had thought Zhou Tong would like BMWs like other women, but he never expected her car to be a uriélg. ZUILU.*

The uriélg is the flashiest sports car Lamborghini has ever built, with a total length over 4.5 meters and a width of about 2 meters. It boasted a maximum power of 580 horsepower, a top speed exceeding 337 kilometers per hour, and could go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.8 seconds.

When Ling Yongbing's subordinate drove Zhou Tong's sports car to the entrance of the main building, Zhou Tong smiled and waved at Gu Feng, saying, "Mr. Gu, please get in."

Gu Feng had already guessed Zhou Tong's intention of driving him home, so he didn't say much and got right in.

The car smelled faintly of perfume, and a very cute teddy bear hung from the ceiling. The cockpit looked exquisite and was equipped with a satellite navigation system. Clearly, as a top-tier sports car, the uriélg's cockpit was in a different league altogether from an ordinary car's.

"Mr. Gu, where do you live?" Zhou Tong started the car with practiced ease and turned her head to ask.

"Mingzhu Apartments," Gu Feng replied flatly, then closed his eyes and paid her no more mind.

Gu Feng's attitude made Zhou Tong frown slightly. As the most popular star in the entertainment industry today, what man didn't get lustful ideas upon seeing her? Who was as indifferent as Gu Feng?

Such a stark difference didn't anger Zhou Tong; instead, it made her even more curious. Recalling what Ling Yongbing had instructed her to do earlier in the living room, she felt a itch of curiosity. She truly couldn't understand why Gu Feng warranted such great effort from Ling Yongbing, one of Hong Kong's Underworld Godfathers, to curry favor.

"Mr. Gu, do you have a problem with me?" Zhou Tong asked as she drove out of the Ling family mansion.

Gu Feng suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Zhou Tong. The sudden movement made Zhou Tong jump, and her grip on the steering wheel faltered. Fortunately, her driving skills were good, and the road was wide, so she didn't crash into the roadside flower bed.

Seeing Zhou Tong's frightened expression, Gu Feng's originally stern expression softened slightly, and he shook his head, saying, "No."

"Oh." Although Zhou Tong was a little pissed off inside, she forced a smile and said, "Then, Mr. Gu, do you listen to much music?"

This time, Gu Feng didn't answer; he simply shook his head lightly.

Based on Gu Feng's earlier behavior, Zhou Tong had vaguely sensed that he hadn't heard her songs; otherwise, she didn't believe he would be so indifferent to her. Hearing his clear denial now, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment. This feeling of loss was unintentionally revealed. For her current self, she stood at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, possessing a pride that some people could never attain in a lifetime. Yet, in front of Gu Feng, she felt no sense of superiority.

For the next minute, Zhou Tong remained silent. It wasn't until a minute later that her expression returned to normal. If it weren't for Ling Yongbing's earlier instruction to get close to Gu Feng, she definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative to speak to him again.

However, remembering Ling Yongbing's instructions, Zhou Tong had no choice but to brace herself and continue asking, "Then, Mr. Gu, what do you usually like to do?"

Even Zhou Tong could sense the unnatural tone in her voice after speaking. Indeed, it was difficult for her, a superstar admired by millions, to lower herself and speak to Gu Feng in such a humble manner.

Seeing Zhou Tong's reluctant expression, Gu Feng said calmly, "Actually, you don't have to force yourself."

Gu Feng's words couldn't help but startle Zhou Tong!

As Zhou Tong's expression changed drastically, she tried her best to adjust her emotions. However, before she could fully compose herself, Gu Feng continued, "Go back and tell Ling Yongbing that this won't work."

Gu Feng's words struck Zhou Tong's heart like a heavy hammer. Her face instantly turned extremely pale, and a hint of sadness appeared in her beautiful autumn-like eyes.

The next moment, Zhou Tong abruptly stopped the car, turned her head, and revealed a bitter smile, saying, "Do you think Ling Yongbing sent me to seduce you? To complete the transaction between you two?"

Zhou Tong was indeed beautiful—Gu Feng had to admit that. Especially when she was angry, frowning like an irritated fox, she exuded a bewitching charm.

"Isn't that the case?" Gu Feng said calmly.

"Heh!" Zhou Tong sneered, "So, in your eyes, I'm a female star who climbed to my current position by selling my body?"

Gu Feng didn't know much about the scandals in the entertainment industry. He had only recently heard Wu Xue frequently discussing so-called "hidden rules" in the office, saying many female stars rose to fame through such means.

Hearing Zhou Tong's angry words now, Gu Feng gently shook his head and said, "First, I don't know how high your current status in the entertainment industry is. Second, I never said you achieved your current position by selling your body. Lastly, don't deny that you were instructed by Ling Yongbing. Your acting skills may be good, but they can't fool me."

If Gu Feng's earlier words had left Zhou Tong both surprised and annoyed, now his words only made her feel astonished.

As Gu Feng had said, the reason she set aside her star status and humbled herself to please Gu Feng was entirely because of Ling Yongbing. She didn't know the details of the transaction between Ling Yongbing and Gu Feng; Ling Yongbing had only instructed her to captivate Gu Feng at all costs.

"Then, do you think I rose to fame through hidden rules?" Zhou Tong asked subconsciously.

Seeing the expectant look in those beautiful autumn-like eyes, Gu Feng ultimately chose to remain silent.

Seeing Gu Feng remain silent, Zhou Tong smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It seems you're silently agreeing with me. I can't blame you. From an outsider's perspective, someone as young as me becoming a top figure in the entertainment industry naturally couldn't have reached this position through sheer ability."

Zhou Tong's words made Gu Feng frown slightly. He had intended to explain, but Zhou Tong didn't give him the chance. She continued, "Although I don't know who you are, I'll be honest with you: if it weren't for Ling Yongbing, I would never debase myself to please you!"

As she spoke, Zhou Tong's eyes reddened slightly, and glistening tears welled up in her eyes. Her pitiful expression made anyone who saw her want to protect her.

Gu Feng didn't comfort Zhou Tong or say anything; he simply stared quietly out the window. Although he knew that revealing the truth so directly would make Zhou Tong lose face, he didn't want Ling Yongbing to treat him like a fool—using a woman to trap him and make him a pawn in the conflict between the Red Star Gang and the Dong Xing Gang.
