Chapter 181 Brainwashing Skills
The branch of the Scarlet Banquet is also the headquarters of all vampires in Hanyun Province.

Shen Cheng didn't expect that he could get in so easily, and openly, without worrying about being discovered.

That's the benefit of having someone above you.

Shen Cheng looked at himself in the mirror wearing an expensive dress, and suddenly asked, "Why are you looking at me with such hostility?"

Wu Ying stopped while she was fixing the hem of Shen Cheng's clothes.

She straightened up slowly and replied in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about."

Shen Cheng turned around and looked at her, sighing slightly: "Whether you are a human or a ghost, I think it is better to be confused for the time being."

From day to night, Shen Cheng stayed with Madam Yan Rui all the time, subtly increasing Madam Yan Rui's favorability and trust in him bit by bit.

Madam Yan Rui didn't notice it either, because the higher the level of trust, the less likely she would doubt Shen Cheng.

But unexpectedly, Wu Ying, the third party, discovered the clues.

She thought she had concealed her vigilance and hostility very well, but unfortunately Shen Cheng had already discovered it.

Once she opened her mouth to alert, with Madam Yan Rui's powerful mental strength, she would probably immediately notice something was wrong.

In order to avoid wasting all his efforts, Shen Cheng had no choice but to extend his claws to the second person.

Seeing Shen Cheng confronting her, Wu Ying's eyes flashed with anger: "What did you do to my wife?"

While questioning, she had quietly turned on the recording function of her mobile phone. Even if something happened to her, she could leave evidence to warn the lady.

Shen Cheng smiled slightly: "I didn't do anything."

Wu Ying didn't believe it at all: "Why would the lady be so nice to you all of a sudden?"

Shen Cheng touched his face and said, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome."

The anger in Wu Ying's eyes grew even stronger. Was he mocking his wife for being a superficial woman who only cared about looks?
What Wu Ying didn't notice was that while Shen Cheng was talking, he had already used mind tricks to adjust her emotions to one of extreme trust and admiration for himself.

Wu Ying's strength is very strong, probably slightly weaker than Xiao Qingque, but after all, she is not extraordinary. Even if she is extraordinary, she might not be able to withstand Shen Cheng's enhanced emotional control.

Wu Ying was about to continue questioning Shen Cheng and force him to reveal evidence that was unfavorable to Madam Yan Rui.

But suddenly, her question got stuck in her throat, and then she lowered her head suddenly, her whole mind in a mess.

Damn it, I actually spoke to him in this tone! !
When Wu Ying thought that Shen Cheng might hate her because of this, her heart suddenly became confused and she became a little panicked.

I want to remedy this, but I don't know how.

Seeing that his ability took effect, Shen Cheng reached out and touched Wu Ying's chin, gently lifting her face.

Wu Ying did not resist and slowly raised her face. Under Shen Cheng's gaze, her pretty face turned red, and even her ears turned red.

Although she was extremely shy, she did not avoid his sight, but looked at Shen Cheng with moist and loving eyes.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and slightly opened her red lips, looking ready for you to pick her.

Shen Cheng released her chin.

Wu Ying opened her eyes dazedly and saw Shen Cheng moving away from her. A huge sense of loss instantly filled her body and mind.

She suspected that Shen Cheng disliked her. Despite her strong personality, she actually wanted to cry at this moment.

Suddenly remembering something, Wu Ying quickly took out her cell phone, turned off the recording mode, and deleted all the recorded audio.

Under Shen Cheng's gaze, she apologized palely: "I'm sorry, I thought you were going to harm Madam."

"I know."

Shen Cheng said in a joking tone: "When we first met, you searched me rudely."

"That was Madam's order, not my intention at all."

Wu Ying explained eagerly, grabbing Shen Cheng's hands with both hands: "I will never do anything bad to you, please believe me."

"I believe you, so please do me a favor."

Shen Cheng took the opportunity to order: "If Madam wants to harm me, you must inform me in advance."

Although Madam Yan Rui now has a high degree of favorability and trust in him, it is still better to add an extra insurance just in case.

Wu Ying was a little hesitant. This was a betrayal to Madam Yan Rui.

But her hesitation was immediately overwhelmed by the even more surging love. For the sake of her lover, she was not afraid of even death, so why would she be afraid of betrayal?
So Wu Ying nodded firmly: "I will never let my wife hurt you."

Seeing her willing to die for him, Shen Cheng had only one thought in his mind at this moment - mind trick, this is Pandora's box!

The ability to change a person's stance and beliefs so thoroughly is no different from brainwashing.

Simply controlling emotions may not be enough to achieve this, but now the enhanced version of mind tricks has revealed its terrifying side.

If he had enough time, Shen Cheng could even use this ability to create a religion and make everyone his fanatical followers.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, Shen Cheng immediately became alert and determined to use this ability as little as possible in the future.

He was afraid that he would lose control, become immersed in the benefits of this powerful ability, and end up brainwashing everyone around him.

The door of the dressing room was suddenly pushed open, and Madam Yan Rui walked in from outside with another woman.

She didn't notice Wu Ying's abnormality, but instead looked at Shen Cheng in a dress, her beautiful eyes shining with a strange light.

"Well, this dress really suits you."

Madam Yan Rui came over and personally raised her hand to help Shen Cheng straighten his collar.

The woman who came in behind the lady almost popped her eyes out of her sockets when she saw this scene.

However, when she saw Wu Ying standing beside her without any reaction, she could only suppress her shock.

The lady said that she had a distant cousin who came to live with her. I originally thought it was fake, but now seeing how close they were, it must be genuine.

However, they have followed the lady for so many years, but they have never heard of her having any distant cousin.

Madam Yan Rui chatted with Shen Cheng in a gentle voice for a few words, and then introduced Shen Cheng to the woman who came in with her. Her name was Hu Shan. She was Madam Yan Rui's confidant and also her second servant.

Madam Yan Rui now has more than a dozen subordinates, and only Wu Ying and Hu Shan are servants whom she personally embraced to become vampires.

The same goes for other vampires. The more servants you have, the better. Too many of them will disperse your source blood.

Moreover, the talents of the servants you recruit must be good enough, otherwise it would be a waste to give the source blood to some garbage.

Madam Yan Rui's two most trusted servants, one stayed by her side to serve her, and the other managed all her subordinates for her, and also held important positions in the Bright Red Dinner.

Today, a deputy minister who was loyal to Yin Hong suddenly challenged Hu Shan and asked her to resign immediately and give up her position. Hu Shan would not agree, but the other party defeated her and made her lose face.

Hu Shan couldn't resist and could only ask for help from Madam Yan Rui, but Madam Yan Rui didn't have a stronger candidate.

If Shen Cheng hadn't appeared, she would be completely helpless.

"I leave everything up to you, sir."

After the introduction, Hu Shan bowed deeply to Shen Cheng with a very sincere attitude.

She was not worried about Shen Cheng replacing her, but was worried about losing the position.

Moreover, during this period of time, she had to face all kinds of open and covert attacks every day, and faced exclusion and suppression from all sides. She was already exhausted physically and mentally. If it were not for her loyalty to Madam Yan Rui, she would have wanted to quit long ago.

Shen Cheng nodded: "Leave it to me."

He may not have the confidence to deal with Yin Hong, and the other deputy ministers are all useless to him.

Madam Yan Rui also comforted her, "Hu Shan, you have worked hard during this period. I will help you get relief."

"Thank you, ma'am."

……

In the spacious conference room, the four deputy ministers were already in place.

Madam Yan Rui had not arrived yet, but the ministers were already discussing and communicating with each other in low voices.

They could vaguely guess that the purpose of Madam Yan Rui convening this meeting was because she was about to lose the last important position in her hands, and she just wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

No one thought Madam Yan Rui could succeed. Her power, which no one could ignore, was on the verge of collapse under Yin Hong's suppression and erosion. Now only two or three kittens were left.

Completely eradicate Madam Yan Rui's power and leave her alone. This is the order from Yin Hong. The four ministers must either strictly obey it or stay out of it.

Without external assistance, Madam Yan Rui's fate was already sealed.

The tightly closed door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Madam Yan Rui, dressed in gorgeous attire, walked in from outside. The eyes of the four ministers all lit up slightly.

No wonder she is so loved by the three ministers before and after her. Even among the group of vampires where handsome men and beautiful women are common, Madam Yan Rui's beauty and charm are unique.

Unfortunately, this world is ultimately ruled by strength, and the lady’s beauty has become a crime.

If she weren't so charming, Yin Hong might have let her go long ago.

Madam Yan Rui came to her own seat and sat down. The four ministers just nodded to her faintly, showing no friendliness or respect.

The two sides are just one step away from falling out, so there is no need to maintain superficial peace.

Madam Yan Rui responded one by one, her eyes sweeping across everyone's face.

The main seat above was originally Yin Hong's seat, but he has not appeared for a long time. The person sitting there now is Yin Hong's most trusted subordinate and servant, named Hoffa, who is currently managing the affairs of the entire bright red dinner for Yin Hong.

Sitting next to him was Ao Liu, Hoffa's yes-man and Yin Hong's loyal lackey.

On the right is Lian Mo, who was originally relatively independent in the Red Dinner Party and was also the person the lady once wanted to win over.

Unfortunately, the successor carefully trained by Lian Mo was killed by a Star Ranger. In order to persuade Yin Hong to issue a wanted order for that Star Ranger, Lian Mo also joined Yin Hong.

Finally, there was Hua Jiao, who was a little far away from the three. He didn't get along well with Huo Fa Aoliu and had been fighting with them openly and secretly.

Hua Jiao should have been Madam Yan Rui's most suitable ally, but Madam Yan Rui had long discovered that Hua Jiao had also secretly defected to Yin Hong, and his fight with Huo Faao Liu was also a means of balancing Yin Hong, as he was unwilling to let his subordinates unite.

If Madam Yan Rui dared to seek an alliance with him, she would be walking into a trap.

This is the dilemma that Madam Yan Rui is facing now. Except for Lian Mo who has stayed out of the matter, the other three are suppressing her openly or secretly, and have pushed her to the edge of the cliff.

After everyone arrived, Hoffa, who was sitting in the main seat, asked with a smile, "Madam, why are you calling us to the meeting so urgently? Is there something urgent?"

Madam Yan Rui's heart was beating fast. The next confrontation would determine her life and death.

She tried to remain calm and looked at Ao Liu: "You asked my subordinate Hu Shan to hand over his position today. I hope you can give a convincing explanation."

A thought came to the minds of the four ministers - they were here for this matter after all.

Hua Jiao snorted coldly: "Just for such a small matter, you called everyone here?"

Madam Yan Rui ignored him and stared at Ao Liu with burning eyes.

Ao Liu chuckled, fiddling with his long nails, and said casually, "It's because your subordinates are too incompetent, so I recommend a more suitable candidate. Come out."

As Ao Liu finished speaking, the door of the conference room lounge opened and a sexy and charming young woman walked out.

The woman was not timid at all. Instead, she greeted everyone with a smile: "Good evening, ministers. My name is Mai Jinmei. Please take care of me."

After saying that, she walked over and stood behind Ao Liu.

Madam Yan Rui frowned and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared: "Who is she? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Today, Hu Shan was unwilling to give up her position, and was defeated by McKimmy who suddenly appeared and used force.

Ao Liu smiled and explained: "This Mai Jinmei is a new talent who has just joined the dinner party. She is very capable in all aspects, so I recommend her to take over the position of your subordinate."

Madam Yan Rui said coldly: "This is against the rules. The replacement of important positions should be agreed upon by our ministers."

"That was the old rule, and it's no longer valid."

Hoffa suddenly spoke up: "We are now following the rules issued by Minister Yin Hong. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted. As long as McKimmy is stronger than your subordinates, she is qualified to replace your subordinates. And they have already decided the winner today."

Madam Yan Rui was not convinced: "Mai Jinmei just joined the dinner party and has no experience at all. Is this possible?"

Hoffa nodded seriously: "Of course, what we value now is ability rather than qualifications."

Madam Yan Rui had to look at Lian Mo and Hua Jiao who were silent, hoping that they could say something fair.

However, Lian Mo and Hua Jiao both looked as if they were staying out of the matter. Perhaps they felt a little sympathetic towards Madam Yan Rui's current situation, but they would never help her at the risk of offending Yin Hong.

"Madam, do you have any other comments?" Ao Liu asked with a smile.

The four ministers had already seen it. Madam Yan Rui had no other choice, unless he could now put forward a stronger candidate than McKimmy to replace Hu Shan.

Hu Shan is no match for her, and Wu Ying is just as bad as Hu Shan. Madam Yan Rui has no one else to rely on.

Madam Yan Rui looked around, and facing the group of wolves, the angry expression on her face gradually turned into a sneer.

"Of course, I also happen to recommend a new candidate. Come in, brother."
