Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The meeting with Shen Jiajun was in the reception hall halfway up the mountain.

Eric didn't mind inviting friends to play in the courtyard where he lived, but there were many stolen national treasures there.

Even if Shen Jiajun, a government official, turned a blind eye, Eric felt embarrassed!

As Eric entered the courtyard where the reception hall was located, he saw Shen Jiajun sitting in the reception hall. However, Shen Jiajun's expression was odd. His face was red, and he was frequently drinking water.

As Eric took the seventeen steps through the courtyard, the beautiful blood slave next to Shen Jiajun refilled his teacup three times.

"Although the tea here is a top-grade Da Hong Pao, there's no need to be so greedy, right? Are you really that thirsty? But, it doesn't seem particularly hot today... I don't get it..." With a hint of amusement and confusion, Eric stepped into the hall.

At that moment, Shen Jiajun had just finished his nth cup of tea, and with a red face, he nodded to the beautiful woman refilling his water, about to say "thank you." But when he saw the beautiful woman kneeling respectfully, he immediately turned around, only to see Eric's smiling face.

Shen Jiajun quickly stood up, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Eric, you're here..."

Eric gestured for the blood slave in the reception hall to rise and then asked with a smile, "Jiajun, did you just come back from a mission in the desert?"

"No," Shen Jiajun was still a bit puzzled at first, but when he followed Eric's gaze to his teacup, he suddenly understood. He explained somewhat awkwardly, "Well... Eric, the tea here is just too delicious..."

"Alright, if you like it, I'll have a few pounds sent to you when you leave!" Eric didn't pay much attention to Shen Jiajun's casual remarks and went straight to the point. "You didn't come all the way here for my tea, did you? Just say what you have to say. You know I don't like beating around the bush!"

Shen Jiajun nodded, his expression becoming solemn. "Eric, did you have a burglary here yesterday?"

Eric raised an eyebrow and asked instead of answering, "How did you know?"

"Well, after I called you last time to give you a warning, the agents from our National Security Bureau's Shanghai branch stayed near your home..." Seeing Eric furrow his brow slightly, Shen Jiajun hurriedly explained, "Eric, don't get me wrong. We're not monitoring you; we just want to protect you. After all, your identity is too frightening, whether you're the deputy head of the Medicine King Sect or Sakya's living Buddha. We can't afford any mistakes..."

"I didn't say you were monitoring me. Why are you so nervous?" Eric stared at Shen Jiajun and said, "I don't look down on you, I just think you're wasting your time!"

Shen Jiajun felt a little ashamed. He glanced at the vampires and blood slaves standing around the living room and said, "I know you have many skilled people under you, and you're not afraid of attacks from those supernatural beings. But this matter was caused by our National Security Bureau, so we can't remain silent..."

"Alright, stop with the nice words!" Eric interrupted. "If your National Security Bureau wants to show something, why didn't you come to help when the supernatural beings attacked last night?"

Shen Jiajun's face turned red, not with anger but with embarrassment. He lowered his head and said awkwardly, "Eric, it's not that we didn't come to help, but we didn't even know that those supernatural beings had attacked your Wu Mei Villa in the early morning!"

Although Eric felt that Shen Jiajun's words were somewhat inconsistent, he didn't point it out because Shen Jiajun seemed to have an explanation ready.

Sure enough, after taking another sip of tea, Shen Jiajun continued, "Although our agents were outside Wu Mei Villa when those five supernatural beings were discovered, they disappeared after standing there for a while. Our agents thought they were just scouting the area and never expected them to directly attack the villa without understanding the situation..."

"Heh." Eric smiled knowingly and said, "So you must have heard the gunshots from the villa that made you realize something was wrong?"

Shen Jiajun nodded, looking at Eric with a pleading expression. "After our Shanghai branch chief received this news, he came over. But your people wouldn't let him in."

"Our chief didn't dare to use force, so he immediately called headquarters. Because this was a matter for my Department of Supernatural Abilities, and also because I have some acquaintance with you, they ordered me to take a military plane overnight to come here..."

"What did they come for?" Eric was curious. "To express condolences?"

"Hehe..." Shen Jiajun chuckled awkwardly. "Condolences are just one aspect, there's another reason."

Seeing Shen Jiajun's embarrassed and humorous appearance, Eric didn't rush him. He had some light snacks sent over and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing Eric's relaxed posture, Shen Jiajun stopped pretending and surrendered, "Eric, how did your operation go?" Find exclusive content at empire

Eric didn't hesitate or conceal anything. "Three men, one dead and two captured. Both women managed to escape, but one of them was injured from a gunshot."

As Eric spoke, Shen Jiajun's expression went from joy to shock. "Two escaped? How come our surveillance outside the villa didn't notice..."

Eric glanced at him and asked, "Did you surround the villa?"

Shen Jiajun was startled. "How could we..."

"Then it's settled," Eric waved his hand. "You can't blame others for escaping from your blind spots, right?"

After a moment's thought, Shen Jiajun also felt surprised at his astonishment. He chuckled and said, "Eric, can I... can I..."

Seeing Shen Jiajun hesitate to speak, Eric said lightly, "Do you want me to hand over the prisoners to you?"

Wide-eyed, Shen Jiajun nodded repeatedly, showering Eric with flattery. "Eric, you truly deserve to be my lifelong idol. Your wisdom is as deep and unfathomable as the sea..."

Amused by the fellow's lackluster praise, Eric interrupted, "Although we captured two people, one of them has already been rendered a vegetable. I hope you don't mind?"

Shen Jiajun, slightly disappointed, said, "How could I mind? We can't thank you enough!"

Eric nodded and said, "Shall we bring them over now?"

"No need. My colleagues are waiting outside the villa. You just need to hand the prisoners over to them." With a somewhat "tattletale" expression, Shen Jiajun continued, "Eric, your security guards at the gate are so tough. They only allowed me to come up alone..."

"That's their job," Eric replied lightly. "Are you going down with them?"

"Well..." Shen Jiajun was somewhat embarrassed. "Eric, your home is so big and beautiful. Can I stay here for a visit?"

"No problem," Eric replied with a smile, then ordered a blood slave to take the prisoners down to Shen Jiajun's colleagues.

Watching the beautiful blood slave leave, Shen Jiajun clicked his tongue and said, "Eric, you know how to enjoy life. You have so many different beauties around you..."

Eric glanced at him amusingly and said, "Jiajun, were you so thirsty just now because you saw the beautiful woman and felt a bit of desire?"

As if being hit right on the mark, Shen Jiajun's face flushed completely.

Seeing his expression, Eric couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Shen Jiajun, feeling helpless, changed the subject, trying to shift Eric's attention. "Eric, can you tell me how you dealt with the attack by the supernatural beings?"

Eric laughed a few times before recounting the battle from early morning.

"You all attacked together?" Shen Jiajun listened with great interest. "What kind of group combat method did you use?"

"I've already said, Wang Xingyu, that giant, is an ability user who can transform his body into metal. Although his defense is super strong, his speed is not outstanding, at least not in front of the vampires. They set traps for him during the fight, and he ended up like a living mummy."

Shen Jiajun burst into laughter, applauding.

Ignoring him, Eric continued, "Although that Huan Killer is proficient in mental attacks, I have four guards from Sakya who practice techniques that happen to counter various mental attacks. Naturally, the Huan Killer was beaten so badly that he fainted on the spot."

Shen Jiajun laughed heartily, collapsing to the ground.

"The woman with ice abilities was dealt with by my mercenaries. With the powerful barrage of over a hundred people, they shattered her ice python used for cover. She seemed to have been shot as well, but those people still couldn't stop her from escaping over the wall!"
