《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 192: Exchanging Address
Advertisement
Wu Mei knew Wu Pang's character well. He was greedy for power and money but was stupid and conceited. He was easy to deceive.
"Letting you regain control in the Wu Corporation is a small matter. As long as you make a deal with me..."
Wu Mei sat down and took the initiative to throw out the bait. She gently tapped her fingers on the table as she waited for Wu Pang to take the bait.
Wu Pang stared at her suspiciously, as if trying to determine her intentions. He probed, "What do you want?"
Wu Mei lifted her eyes and said calmly, "You once got a hypnotist to alter Mom's memories. I want you to tell me the hypnotist's address and identity information. As long as you can help me find him, I will naturally return the company to you when Mom's condition improves."
The office was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard. Wu Pang's fats were trembling as he pondered.
Wu Mei put on an extremely patient expression and looked him in the eye as she said, "Whether or not the Wu Corporation's new building can be approved by bribing the supervisor and whether or not we can earn a considerable amount of profit, time waits for no man..."
"All I want is to get Mom out of the hypnotized state."
Wu Pang coughed lightly and looked at her with uncertainty. "How can I trust you? Unless you write me an IOU."
"Is it necessary?"
Pointing at his phone, Wu Mei said, "You have an audio recording. Besides, even if I'm willing to sign the IOU for you and promise to give you authority, evidence that has not been notarised won't have any legal effect. It will be a piece of useless paper."

Psychological warfare. Without any deviation, Wu Mei's every move guided Wu Pang into the trap she had secretly set up.
"The Wu Corporation doesn't mean anything to me, and I'm not short of money." Wu Mei hinted to Wu Pang that she was related to Li Nanchen, so as to make him trust her more.
She said, "I don't have much time to let you hesitate."
"I can use my own methods to find the hypnotist's address. It'll just waste a bit of time."
"But when I find him myself, you can forget about getting anything from me!"
Wu Mei's threat made Wu Pang's body freeze instantly and his eyes darted around. "Y-you! Wait!"
As expected, Wu Pang reached into his pocket and fumbled around. Holding the thin name card, he hesitantly handed it to Wu Mei and said, "Don't lie to me!"
"The audio recording is still in my hands!"
Wu Mei took the name card and glanced at it. Then, she stood up and walked out of the office.
The General Manager's assistant had been eavesdropping at the door for a long time. When he saw Wu Mei leave, he quickly followed her and stood in the elevator with her. He asked nervously in a low voice, "Do you really want to hand the company to him?"
"I have my own arrangements. You guys just need to do your own things. Don't bother about anything else," Wu Mei said calmly. After leaving the Wu Corporation building, she hailed a cab and immediately rushed to the hypnotist's residence.
Seeing the independent building hidden in the downtown area, Wu Mei found the hypnotist and said, "Come with me."
"Wu Pang once asked you to hypnotize a woman and control her consciousness. You should still remember that. Go and undo it now..." Wu Mei said in a commanding tone.
The hypnotist was someone with some reputation after all, so naturally, his attitude was a little arrogant. He stood up from the chair and leaned towards her as he said, "I'm sorry, I still have a patient. If you need me for a consultation, please make an appointment with my secretary..."
"I'll arrange for another time to rush over."

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

This is my first time writing anything like this, so I appreciate any and all constructive feedback that helps me improve. I started this project because I was bored of waiting for other stories to release chapters, and I will try my best to be consistent.I will update once a week at minimum, more if I feel like writing a lot :PCover Birb (aka Chummy) credit goes to: SpectralapparitionAs for the tags, mature because of steamy bird sex (jk) and some violence. Reincarnation occurs in this story, but doesn't play a large role, it's really only for setting.Thanks!
8 97Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

From here on, it should be smooth sailing; nothing to worry about but trying to keep up in his magic lessons and not letting his smart mouth start any blood feuds with rich kids at parties. But something’s going on. The Fiore is convinced that Kayden’s a key player in a political game he wants nothing to do with, Max is openly fighting with his idol over things he won’t fully explain, and the words of prophecies past keep haunting Kayden’s dreams. Something big is coming, and to figure it out, Kayden, Max and Kylie will have to venture places that make his Initiation look like child’s play. And make a decision that will irrevocably alter all their lives.
