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.”
