Chapter 1065: The Man Who Wants to Be a Player (First Update, Please Vote!)

Mr. Zhuge smiled and bowed slightly towards Mrs. Fang, “Mrs. Fang, before we begin, we’d need your assistance with a few things.”

“What can I do for you? As long as I can manage it, don’t hesitate to ask!” Mrs. Fang was quite excited, nearly beating her chest in guarantee.

Mr. Zhuge nodded, “That’s great. First, we need Miss Tang’s birthdate and hour. Secondly, we need a lock of Miss Tang’s hair or some blood, just a little is enough.”

Mrs. Fang paused for a moment, “Miss Tang’s birthdate and hour? And her hair or blood? Uh, is hair okay?”

“Of course, hair is ideal, but you need to ensure it’s truly Miss Tang’s hair.” Mr. Zhuge said, handing Mrs. Fang a small bamboo tube. “Once you get either her hair or blood, just place it in this bamboo tube. Hair is easy, for blood, just a little on the mouth of the tube will do.”

Mrs. Fang took the small bamboo tube, holding it delicately between her fingers, as cautiously as if she were handling something flammable and explosive.

Lawrence Winters blinked, seeming to understand what Mr. Zhuge was planning.

She smiled knowingly and nodded at Mr. Zhuge.

Mr. Zhuge glanced at her, smiled, and nodded in return.

The two exchanged a look, as if secretly aware of the plan.

After leaving Mrs. Fang’s home, Mr. Zhuge and Lawrence Winters each returned to their respective residences.

Lawrence was curious how Mrs. Fang would obtain Miss Tang’s birthdate and hair or blood, and she wondered if this segment would be live-streamed, so she sent a WeChat message to the host asking about it.

After consulting the preparation committee, the host replied to her, saying, “The visit to Mrs. Fang’s home wasn’t live-streamed to all viewers; it’s hidden content that will be released as bloopers after all the contests are over. However, the judges and committee members saw it. The segment where Mrs. Fang gets Miss Tang’s birthdate and hair or blood should be live-streamed.”

This way, Miss Tang wouldn’t know what Mrs. Fang was doing, allowing the game to proceed.

Lawrence felt again that “People in the city really play hard,” and waited to see Mrs. Fang in action.

Mrs. Fang soon realized that the request from Mr. Zhuge today wasn’t broadcasted, only those present knew, and as long as they kept silent, Miss Tang wouldn’t know about it.

Mrs. Fang felt uneasy and clarified things with the host, specifically asking Lawrence and the host to keep the secret and not let Miss Tang find out.

The host quickly agreed, stating they knew the game rules and wouldn’t leak anything to either side.

Only then did Mrs. Fang breathe a sigh of relief, beginning to plan how to obtain Miss Tang’s birthdate and hair or blood.

Lawrence Winters was very curious about Mrs. Fang’s approach.

In her eyes, getting hair or blood was easy, but the birthdate and hour weren’t simple, as it required precision to the time of birth.

For a normal friend, the birthdate is known due to annual birthday celebrations, but the exact time isn’t commonly known unless one checks the birth certificate.

They had previously managed to learn that Miss Tang was the daughter of Mr. Yu’s first love, which was quite impressive, but whether they could find her birth certificate was uncertain.

In the afternoon, Lawrence watched the stream and saw Mrs. Fang making phone calls.

For the stream, she used the speakerphone function.

“Mrs. Miller? It’s Lilin, it’s been a long time, are you coming back for vacation this summer?”

“Hello Lilin, it’s been ages, I’ve missed you all! I’m not returning this summer; we’ve been on a cruise and plan to stay for two years. It’s lots of fun here, swimming during the day and watching opera at night. You should come and relax; it’s tough always being around your husband and kids.”

“That’s so kind of you, Mrs. Miller! I want to, but the kids are too young. I’ll take them out when they’re older. It’s a pity you’re not coming back; I still remember your raspberry ice cream cake, it was delicious! — By the way, your house is rented out, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it’s rented out until the end of the year… the tenant seems uninterested in renewing, so we’re looking for the next renter.”

“Right, finding long-term tenants is hard with background checks needed, otherwise it’s difficult to let go of such a beautiful house.”
