Chapter 1210: Psychological Panic

Victoria was lying on the hospital bed, quietly thinking about what had happened. On this day, the surprise brought to her was too much; it was beyond her ability to withstand.

The freedom that she had been longing for actually fell on her head so easily. Victoria felt like she was in a dream; it was very unreal.

In the end, Yang Ming did not take the remote control away, but it was not useful for Victoria either. She kept it just as a keepsake. Tomorrow, I will embark on a new life then?

Victoria was afraid that after she woke up, it would all go back to its original state. So, she slept very late last night. However, when she woke up and saw the remote control on the pillow, Victoria was convinced that she was not dreaming.

" Dang dang dang... " A knocking sound came at the door.

"Please come in." Victoria thought it was the nurse who came to change her medicine, so she didn't care, and spoke calmly.

The door to the ward was pushed open, headed by Dr. Jessica. However, behind Dr. Jessica stood a man who made Victoria resentful and fearful from the bottom of her heart! This person was Bobby, her former owner.

This resentment and fear couldn't be helped. Although Victoria had nothing to do with him now, after years of succumbing to Bobby's oppression, Victoria had already feared him.

"Victoria, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Bobby walked into the ward cautiously, greeting Victoria with a face full of concern.

Bobby was a sociable person. It was easy for him to reach a certain level of relationship with Yang Ming. Naturally, he had to find some ways to maintain and strengthen it. Therefore, after Yang Ming took Victoria and treated her, Bobby mistakenly believed that Yang Ming was attracted to Victoria's good looks because he didn't think that the injured Victoria had any other use for Yang Ming.

Yesterday, although Jessica heard what Yang Ming said to Victoria, without Yang Ming's permission, she would never say anything about it. The doctors in this hospital operated in the military-style. So they would never reveal anything.

Therefore, although Jessica knew the real reason why Yang Ming took Victoria, she could not tell Bobby this reason. As for what Bobby thought, it was Bobby's own business. As for Bobby's question, Jessica did not say anything other than smile.

However, the more this was the case, the more Bobby misunderstood. He thought that Jessica was smiling embarrassingly, so he was more in fear and trepidation. After entering Victoria's room, Bobby was very careful.

"?" Victoria was stunned by Bobby's attitude. She did not know how Bobby, who had always been aloof and remote, suddenly became like this! Victoria opened her mouth astonished and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Victoria, I know. The things I did to you before may be excessive, but... you were my slave at that time... Now your status is honorable. I think you are a great person who won't harbor grievances for past doings. You won't put the previous things in your heart, right?" When Bobby saw that Victoria was not answering, he was sure that Victoria was holding grievances in her heart. Moreover, Victoria was staying in such a senior ward, and a professional doctor attended to her twenty-four hours a day. Bobby knew that Victoria should occupy a great position in Yang Ming's heart. As a result, this little girl was favored. It was inevitable that she would resent Bobby's previous actions. At that time, she would sway Yang Ming through pillow talk. Then, wouldn't Bobby be finished?

Thinking of the unexpected incidents in the future, Bobby rushed to Victoria's ward to win over her forgiveness.

"?" Victoria was even more inexplicable about when her identity became more honorable. Now, she only had a certain degree of freedom; the word "honorable" was not close! In this world, many people had the freedom like hers; it couldn't be counted. Were all these people honorable? You should know that the beggars in the slums also have freedom... and Victoria really didn't feel that her situation was much better than them.

Bobby saw Victoria's attitude, and he secretly speculated that Victoria must still be very resentful. If he wanted to get Victoria's understanding, most probably it couldn't be done in a few words.

"Victoria, it is your blessing that Mr. Yang is attracted to you. But you have to take good advantage of this opportunity. At Mr. Yang's side, there is no shortage of beauties. So, if you always want to get Mr. Yang's favor, you have to learn how to please and curry favor with a man first..." Bobby changed his tactics when he saw that his apology was useless. Before he came here, he made two preparations. One of them was to talk to Victoria about her future as a friend, and how she could gain a foothold in Yang Ming's home.

"Hey!" Victoria's eyes widened. What Mr. Yang's side is without beauties? What do I have to do with the countless beauties by his side? It's just that I have a few more people to protect. Moreover, why should I get Yang Ming's favor?

"Victoria, your former identity... Oh , sorry. Although mentioning these now seems like I am somewhat demeaning you, I am telling the truth. I hope you can understand... I am now standing in the perspective of a friend to say these words to you!" Bobby's two hands did not know what to do, but his sincerity was fully revealed.

"And then?" Victoria was so confused after hearing it, and when she saw that Bobby was at a loss on what to do, she suddenly felt a little amused. Is this still the Bobby who used to be arrogant? In front of her, he suddenly became child-like. It was such a huge contrast, making Victoria seem like she was dreaming.

Victoria wanted to figure out what happened to Bobby, so she asked him to continue.

Seeing that Victoria finally spoke up, Bobby was overjoyed. It seemed that Victoria was a little less rigid. It was right for him to tackle it in a friendly manner, so he continued, "You have never been able to be in contact with these things between men and women... Take me as an example. There are many women around me. However, what attracts me the most is perhaps not the most beautiful, but the most attractive! The charm of a woman can be cultivated and changed. So I came here this time, mainly because I want to talk to you about these things!"

" Oh ?" Victoria still didn't understand much. The ultimate purpose of Bobby's coming here was because of some woman's charm and whatnot. Could Bobby have suddenly become stupid? Victoria had never seen Bobby have similar conversations and actions before.

"If you want to keep holding onto Mr. Yang's heart, Victoria, you have to work hard!" Bobby said as he mysteriously handed a box to Victoria's hand. Then he blinked and said, "Here, I have a small video player for you. On it, there are videos that I downloaded for you. They're videos of how some famous intelligence organizations in the world train female intelligence officers. How they seduce men is first-class. If you learn half of it, you can..."

"Female intelligence officer's training?" Victoria took the small box from Bobby's hand and repeated it to herself.

"Yeah, I've put a lot of effort into this!" Bobby hurriedly said, "Okay, Miss Victoria, I won't bother you to rest. I will come back to visit you later. In addition, I got some fresh fruit, the ones that you love. I placed it by the bedside..."

What fruits that Victoria was willing to eat before, Bobby obviously didn't know. However, Bobby had learned some of Victoria's habits from the population of slaves under him.

Usually, Bobby was not harsh on the diet of these slaves, because he counted on them to win competitions for him, so their diet and nutrition must be kept up.

After Bobby said these words, he got up and said goodbye. He smiled and nodded to Victoria before he left the ward.

Victoria took the box in her hand and stared at Bobby's back with great confusion. She shook her head. "What the hell is going on? What happened to Bobby?"

Jessica looked at the confused Victoria and shook her head with some helplessness. "Miss Victoria, Mr. Bobby thought that Mr. Yang was attracted by your beauty and made you his woman... That's why Bobby was like this..."

" Ah !" After listening to Jessica's words, Victoria suddenly blushed. Now Victoria was more like a normal girl, throwing away the shackles of her previous fate and becoming a person with freedom.

Reminiscent of what Bobby said before and after, Victoria finally understood that Bobby thought she was Yang Ming's woman! However, what puzzled Victoria was that even so, Bobby didn't have to be submissive to her, right? When she left with Bobby to fight, she also saw many beautiful women with Bobby's friends, but Bobby did not deliberately greet them. On the contrary, he was very cold. Because in these men's eyes, women were all accessories. Only power and money could make them excited.

Victoria even saw that a woman of Bobby's friend had offended Bobby with her words, so she was slapped in the face by Bobby's friend. This also indirectly showed that friendship between men does not involve women.

But now, Victoria seemed to have seen another scene, so she was really inexplicable. She finally could not help but ask, "But even if this were the case, Bobby does not need to treat me like this, right? His attitude..."

After listening to Victoria's words, Jessica shook her head with a bitter smile. "Even if you had him kneel down just now, he might not hesitate."

"Kneel down! This is impossible, right?" Victoria exclaimed.

"I understand what you think. If you are just a woman of a friend on the same level as Bobby, then Bobby will definitely not treat you like this. But when a man's identity is completely above another person, the woman around him, even if she is not favored, will also become honorable..." Jessica said slowly, "In this land, Mr. Yang has absolute power. So, your identity has also changed."

Jessica naturally knew Yang Ming's real intentions for Victoria, so she didn't have to worry about anything. She said these things to Victoria to help her understand and let her know more about her owner that she would be serving in the future.

"Honorable?" Victoria had never felt like this before. At first, she thought that Bobby was already at the top of the wealth and the upper class, but now it seemed that there were people with more power than Bobby.

Just because of the baseless title of being Yang Ming's woman, the originally aloof and remote Bobby became so submissive to her, and her identity as a slave with the lowest status became an honorable person who was equal to a queen.

This was all brought by the man she saw last night. What kind of person is he? Victoria had become somewhat dazzled. The ups and downs of her status had made her think that her choice was correct.

Although she was not Yang Ming's woman, and she never would be, she could see from Yang Ming's eyes that there was no lascivious look, just a kind of faint concern.

However, in Victoria's heart, there was still a small vanity. At the very least, she used the name of Yang Ming's woman to intimidate Bobby.

This gave her little heart an unprecedented satisfaction. Yes, the identity of the slave from the very beginning was suddenly promoted to an owner. Who could be unhappy?

Victoria took a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. "Thank you for not exposing this thing, so that I can vent the grievance in my heart."

"I don't have the right to say anything to Bobby. What he thinks is his own guess." Jessica shrugged. "In fact, even if you are the bodyguard of Mr. Yang's women, Bobby will also respect you. This is the gap in identity. The gap between him and Mr. Yang is too far."

Jessica said this because she naturally saw Yang Ming's attitude in front of General Li Qiang and General Kars. He was the person that was respected even by Li Qiang and General Kars; Bobby was nothing compared to him.

...

"Li Zhichun... En , how should he be dealt with?" Yang Ming lazily stretched out and asked Huang Lele, who had not fully awakened.

" En ... I also don't know. I will sleep for a while more." Huang Lele blinked and glanced at the time on the alarm clock on the bed. She found that it was still early, so she fell asleep again.

Yang Ming smiled and got out of bed. His scheduled time was limited, so there was only one day to deal with Li Zhichun. As for Li Zhichun's intention to sell the iron ore and gold mine in his hands, Yang Ming naturally heard the news. Bobby told Yang Ming about the situation immediately.

Bobby naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to improve his relationship with Yang Ming. Yang Ming did not have an opinion with Bobby's approach. Sometimes, letting the enemy panic psychologically is more tortuous than to do something to them.

Li Zhichun's family was probably now extremely anxious. It hasn't even been a day. Yang Ming hadn't thought of a specific way to retaliate against them, and yet they had already fallen into the circumstances of scaring themselves.

When he thought of it, Yang Ming felt a little amused. There were two mines in Li Zhichun's hands. He couldn't sell them nor could he mine them. This was the most probably the most painful thing in his life.

Yang Ming's expectation was naturally right. At the moment, Li Zhichun was white-faced, like the White Guards of Impermanence [1] in the movie, sitting in the guest house's room, and next to him were Li Tianjia and Li Tianyu.

"It must be; it must be Yang Ming's revenge!" Li Zhichun's face was pale, and his words were excited but had some panic. "If not, why didn't anyone buy the iron ore and gold mine in my hands? This is the golden chicken that lays golden eggs, and people are actually not even interested in it. If it isn't Yang Ming who exerted pressure, how can it be explained?"

Li Tianjia and Li Tianyu also fell into silence. Now the Li Family had reached a dilemma. They didn't dare to move forward. Who knows what kind of retaliation it would bring if they continued to operate quietly?

But they couldn't take a step back either. No one had taken over the mines in their hands. That was a huge investment of six billion dollars. It was not a small amount. How could he just give it up? He just scammed about five billion dollars from Huang Xiaofei.

"Father, I think, we can only make a choice now. I think, under the pressure of Yang Ming, no one will take over our mines, and we can't continue to operate. I think we should make a choice. Let's give up..." Li Tianjia hesitated and persuaded.

"Give up?!" Li Zhichun exclaimed. "That's more than six billion dollars. This time, not only did the money from Huang Xiaofei was invested, but I also moved a lot of the company's cash. If we give up, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

"The loss is big, but it is better than to die here too, right?" Li Tianjia advised, "We can't sacrifice our lives for money, right? When there's life, there's hope. To tell the truth, in this place, I'm not very at ease. There is no law and no rules. The words that General Kars and Li Qiang say are the law. If they want to kill us, it can be done with a word!"

How could Li Zhichun not know what Li Tianjia was saying? If he didn't know, he wouldn't be eager to get rid of the mines in his hands. Because he knew this, he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. But now it seemed that his idea was no longer feasible, and no one would take over the mines in his hands.

Although Li Tianyu also felt that the loss was significant, this was the only way left. So, he had to agree. "Father, we have no other choice."
