Yu Zhou felt that this time it wasn't his ignorance, but that reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
Before this, he had indeed read a lot of reports, especially about pyramid schemes, and had a certain understanding.
But even with understanding, he hadn't experienced it firsthand.
However, this time was different. Even though it was his first time here, what he saw and felt was completely different from what he had imagined.
The people here, at first, were as enthusiastic as your servants. The dorm leader personally changed your shoes, and countless people made you feel like you were at home.
But what happened? The moment you showed the slightest hint of displeasure, their faces changed as quickly as flipping a book.
It was an expression that suggested if you dared to show any more, they would attack you as a group, even cripple you.
Under such expressions, even though Yu Zhou was considered a big boss, a prominent figure, his heart couldn't help but tremble a little.
Later, he saw this beautiful woman. To be honest, this woman didn't give him a completely good impression.
Especially after what she had said to him earlier, it was even more so.
But, inexplicably, she came to find him in the dead of night, acting as if she wanted to be his friend and hadn't experienced the feeling of being in love for a long time. Who could resist that?
Staying in a place like this for too long, even if you saw a woman, your heart would probably waver.
Let alone such a beautiful girl?
In his previous life, Yu Zhou would have undoubtedly pounced on her without hesitation. What a joke, his title of "Little White Strip in the Waves" wasn't given for nothing.
However, in this life, his heart was already entirely set on Jiang Jie.
Especially now that Jiang Jie was pregnant and worried about him, it was even more so.
He didn't want to see Jiang Jie sad, and even less did he want to think about romance in this environment.
Therefore, even though this beautiful girl was actively provoking him, he remained expressionless, suppressed his impulse, and then slowly said, "I have a wife, and I love her very much!"
Yu Zhou said it with great firmness, just like when he refused Song Qing that time.
To be honest, although this beautiful girl was very attractive, if they were to be compared, there was still some gap between her and Song Qing.
In terms of appearance, the gap might not be large, but you couldn't deny that in terms of temperament, Song Qing was far superior.
After all, women with Song Qing's temperament were rare, and she was more than just a direct descendant of a prominent family.
It was more about her confidence in managing and mastering everything, a trait that most women did not possess.
Even Jiang Jie could not possess such a quality.
"What does it matter? It's just during business. Afterward, you're still you, and I'm still me."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
The girl still pestered him, her hands already reaching for Yu Zhou's legs.
Feeling her light breath, Yu Zhou's blood surged.
If it weren't for the late hour, he might have already bled from the nose imagining countless scenarios.
"No, I can't!"
After a moment of daze, Yu Zhou immediately sobered up and pushed the girl away.
Indeed, if he were to start touching her now, she wouldn't be able to escape his grasp.
Even if something were to happen, as the girl said, he wouldn't have to take responsibility.
But he couldn't get past his own conscience.
If he were to mess around recklessly, wasn't his past self the best example?
Even if it was consensual, what of it? Everyone was actually acting with ulterior motives and expectations.
He didn't believe that this beautiful girl was truly offering herself without expecting anything in return. Even if she were, he still had a wife at home who was constantly worried about him.
Once a person makes a choice, they must stick to their original intention, no matter how many temptations there are.
This was what Yu Zhou was thinking now, and it was why he was even more resolute at this moment.
"Don't struggle!"
"I just got the key to the door from the room supervisor. I know you don't believe me, but let's escape together immediately!"
Finally, the beautiful girl started telling the truth.
But this single sentence startled Yu Zhou.
He had seen many women, and they were all quite capable.
However, he had never seen a woman with such deep scheming and intelligence.
No wonder she had been acting as if she wanted to be his girlfriend, even starting on the balcony before. It turned out there was a reason.
Originally, Yu Zhou's safest plan was to contact his own people and, with the help of the police, dismantle this den, thereby escaping.
But that still carried risks.
Now, a woman suddenly appearing and offering to help him escape was too unbelievable to be true at first glance.
However, was he really not tempted?
In fact, he was very tempted. After all, if this were true, he wouldn't have to alert these people and could truly escape.
Afterward, as long as he remembered the address, it wouldn't be difficult to find this group and even uncover their roots.
Under such circumstances, he believed this was the safest consideration.
But could he really trust the beautiful woman in front of him? The truth was, he really didn't dare to trust her easily.
After all, they hadn't known each other for long. Was she genuinely wanting to leave, or was she sent to test him? These were all things Yu Zhou didn't know.
Therefore, even so, Yu Zhou still didn't give a definitive answer.
"Why did you choose me? If you have the key, can't you just leave by yourself?"
Yu Zhou's expression was unreadable, neither happy nor sad. This expression perfectly reflected his thoughts.
He didn't understand why she had chosen him? Of course, he knew. But even if he knew, without a definite answer, Yu Zhou would still ask this question.
Because the reason was simple: if you want others to trust you, you must provide a convincing reason.
If he were to escape with her without any reservations, and it turned out to be a test, he would undoubtedly face a severe beating if caught.
Yu Zhou didn't want to gamble, because he already had a series of plans.
