Lei Ying confirms Lai Mo and Buchi are staying on the next floor, suspecting their employer booked the rooms strategically. Lin Weiwei questions the employer's choice of agents. Bai Xiaosheng advises against preconceived notions as they discuss the potential mastermind behind the corporate espionage. Later, the trio enjoys wine and decides to go for a swim on the top deck.

Like this, Bai Xiaosheng instantly became that hated existence in the eyes of many people.

"Xiaosheng, I’ve learned breaststroke, but I only know breaststroke. What stroke are you good at? Teach me." Lin Weiwei chatted away to Bai Xiaosheng, looking cute and coquettish.

"Me? I do know a bit." Bai Xiaosheng said modestly.

At the side, Lei Ying was quite proactive. "I can teach you freestyle. The posture doesn’t look great, but it’s very practical. I can also teach you how to hold your breath underwater for a long time, and underwater combat. Do you want to learn?"

Lin Weiwei immediately shot Lei Ying a sidelong glare. "Underwater combat? What, you think we’re going to be secret agents or something? Not learning, not learning!"

Lei Ying immediately showed a regretful expression.

As the three were talking, they had already reached the edge of the pool.

"Oh? Familiar faces." Lei Ying happened to glance in one direction, narrowed his eyes slightly, and jutted his lips in that direction.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei looked over and saw that by another pool, a few men and women were clustered together, chatting and laughing.

Not anyone else—it was Binge and those four.

Right then, Binge also spotted them, and his gaze was quickly drawn to Lin Weiwei.

Even though they were some distance apart, you could still see his eyes lighting up.

"Hmph, not exactly decent people." Lin Weiwei snorted coldly.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of people looking or appreciating her—who wears a swimsuit and expects no one to look.

It was just that those people had left her with a very bad impression, which made her really dislike them.

Binge looking this way quickly made a few of his companions notice as well, and they all glanced over.

Fain also focused his attention on Lin Weiwei in an instant, clicking his tongue in admiration.

Tiwei’er and Kuna also looked at Weiwei, but the eyes of the two women were filled with hostility.

What women hate most is another woman stealing what they think is their own spotlight.

"Those two women are glaring at me." Lin Weiwei also noticed the hostile looks from across the way and immediately got a bit fired up.

"We just do our thing, no need to bother with them." Bai Xiaosheng said lightly.

As long as the other side didn’t come to provoke them, they naturally wouldn’t bother with the others.

Lin Weiwei listened to Bai Xiaosheng and nodded.

Walking to the poolside, Lin Weiwei said excitedly, "Let me show you my breaststroke first!"

With that, Lin Weiwei loosened up her body a bit, instantly drawing countless looks, and even a few whistles.

Lin Weiwei completely ignored them and dove straight into the water.

Right after, a graceful, curvy little frog appeared in the pool.

It was just a simple breaststroke, but when Lin Weiwei swam from one end of the pool to the other, a wave of applause actually broke out.

"Looks like our little beauty is really popular." Bai Xiaosheng said to Lei Ying with a smile.

Lei Ying also smiled and nodded.

Where there are people cheering, naturally there are people jealous.

Over there, Kuna snorted coldly, saying sourly, "What’s so great about that? She doesn’t even swim as nicely as I do!"

Tiwei’er’s fine brows also furrowed slightly. "This Asian woman really loves to show off, still posing and flirting even in the pool!"

Seeing Binge’s gaze drawn over, Tiwei’er, this rich young lady, was immediately overcome with jealousy.

And clueless Fain was still fanning the flames beside her without meaning to. "She really does swim well... and what a figure, tsk tsk. Before, I just thought her face was pretty, didn’t expect her to be this stunning in the pool!"

If he hadn’t said anything it would have been better; the moment he did, Tiwei’er and Kuna both exploded.

"Come on, let’s go and compete with her!" Kuna immediately said to Tiwei’er.

"Yeah!" Tiwei’er agreed with a slap of her hand.

Binge came back to his senses and secretly glared at Fain, blaming him for running his mouth.

Fain’s eyes filled with apology.

Binge really didn’t want to provoke those Asians again.

That tall guy was like a Bearman, flattening a steel pipe with one chop of his hand—a total monster—and he was standing over there watching them.

If something really kicked off, as the guy he’d have to rush to the front and go up against that "Bearman" head-on.

Just thinking about that made Binge’s heart clench.

Seeing Tiwei’er and Kuna about to head over, Binge hurriedly blocked the two women and smiled, "You two beauties, what’s the point going over there to get worked up with those people? Not worth it! Those guys are really rough, you’ve seen that yourselves. It’s almost lunchtime, why don’t we head to the restaurant instead!"

As he spoke, Binge secretly tugged on Fain.

This whole mess was started by Fain shooting his mouth off, and he was even still sneaking glances at the Asian beauty over there.

Binge was pretty pissed too.

Fain pulled his gaze back from that side of the pool and said, "Mm... ah! Yeah, I think Binge’s got a point! You two ladies have such noble status, why bother competing with some Asian woman? That’d be lowering yourselves for nothing."

With the two men coaxing and conning her, Tiwei’er’s thoughts shifted a little. "What do you think, Kuna?"

Binge and Fain were frantically giving Kuna meaningful looks.

Kuna was still unwilling to let it go and said, "How about this, I’ll go for a lap, and when I come back we’ll leave."

Kuna still wanted to have a showdown with Lin Weiwei.

To see who stood out more, who was more popular.

Tiwei’er nodded. Seeing things had come to this, Binge and Fain could only drop it.

Kuna headed straight for the pool. Binge and Fain watched her all the way, but couldn’t help letting their eyes drift back to the pool, once again sneaking a look at Lin Weiwei.

They shouldn’t have looked; that one glance ruined everything.

Tiwei’er had originally decided to let it go for Binge’s sake, but then, by chance, she caught her admirer sneaking another look, his eyes "cheating" again, and she instantly got mad.

"Hmph!" Tiwei’er stomped her foot and, ignoring Binge, strode after them.

"Crap!" Binge saw things going south and hurried after her.

At the edge of the pool, Kuna dove in like a fish. Underwater, those two long, straight, snow-white legs tucked and kicked, shooting her far across the water in an instant, putting her neck-and-neck with Lin Weiwei in the pool.

Showing off, Kuna switched through several strokes, smooth and graceful, with more flair than a professional swimmer. For a while she drew a wave of cheers.

Of course Lin Weiwei noticed and floated in the water.

But she only knew one stroke, so there was no way to really compete.

Just then, someone else slid into the water from the other side, with the same kind of fluid, elegant stroke.

It was Tiwei’er.

This pool, which had originally been drawing attention because of Lin Weiwei, was now being overshadowed by Kuna and Tiwei’er stealing the spotlight.

The two women did it on purpose, circling around where Lin Weiwei was before finally swimming back amid another round of applause.

In truth, they were feeling extremely pleased with themselves.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying stood by the pool and exchanged a look, both helpless.

This wasn’t a physical fight; it was a war between women, and they really couldn’t step in.

On the opposite side, Binge and Fain kept an eye on Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying. Seeing they weren’t making any moves, they quietly let out a breath of relief. Watching their two female companions swimming back, hearing the applause and seeing them steal the show, they figured they’d just take the women away once they got back, to avoid any more trouble.

Right at that moment, the waterproof watch on Bai Xiaosheng’s wrist suddenly started vibrating and chiming softly.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at it, his expression shifting slightly.

"What is it?" Lei Ying asked when he saw.

While operating it, Bai Xiaosheng said, "When I was calibrating the instrument for Lai Mo and Buchi, I slipped a little gadget into it. As long as they use it, I get an alert over here."

No doubt, those two idiots were definitely down below "opening the door."

Across the pool, Binge and Fain kept showering praise, and now that they’d completely hogged the limelight, Kuna and Tiwei’er surfaced, feeling smug and thinking about sweeping out in style, leaving that Asian woman here to stew in her anger for nothing.

"Looks like they’re about to leave." Lei Ying watched the opposite side and muttered to Bai Xiaosheng, "That’s not great news for those two morons down below. Should we help those clowns out?"

Before Bai Xiaosheng could speak, Lin Weiwei had already hauled herself up onto the edge of the pool, her expression resentful and dejected.

"Those two women again! They’re driving me crazy! Ugh, and I only know breaststroke..."

Bai Xiaosheng saw the two women on the other side already being pulled out of the pool by Binge and Fain. He looked down at Weiwei and smiled. "Don’t be mad, I’ll get revenge for you!"

With that, Bai Xiaosheng straightened up and raised his voice, shouting toward the other side.

"Hey, you over there, don’t rush off! Dare to have a match?"
