"You have the right mindset. We are businessmen, after all. Is the next deal ready?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Please instruct me, Boss," Ye Bufan immediately got into character.
"This time, the target is the Helin family. It's a bit tricky and requires directly infiltrating their family. It's an ancient castle with tens of thousands of years of history. They only installed surveillance outside the castle, with none inside," Zhou Yan said.
"The Helin family, another ancient family from the Sun Never Sets Empire. Infiltrating their castle won't be easy," Ye Bufan replied.
"We need to make a change this time. I need you to make a slight sacrifice." Zhou Yan looked at Ye Bufan and smiled, but Ye Bufan had a bad feeling about it.
"Just tell me what I need to do," Ye Bufan said.
"How's your acting?" Zhou Yan asked.
"It depends on the role," Ye Bufan answered, then asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Nothing much, just turn you into a woman," Zhou Yan said.
"I..."
Ye Bufan was speechless. He never expected Zhou Yan to ask him to do something like this!
However, for 150 trillion worth of materials, he would endure it!
"Here is the information on that woman. I'll transfer it to you." Zhou Yan immediately sent the data into Ye Bufan's mind, giving him access to information about the woman.
"Holy cow! This is the profile of a top supermodel! I didn't expect him to have this kind of relationship with the patriarch of the Helin family!" Ye Bufan exclaimed curiously.
Afterward, Ye Bufan received the detailed information for the mission. It was quite simple: tonight, this woman would have an intimate date with the patriarch of the Helin family. Ye Bufan would assume the woman's identity, enter the Helin family, and retrieve the storage belt from the patriarch.
Once he successfully obtained the belt, Ye Bufan could leave.
After Ye Bufan understood, Zhou Yan began his actions, teleporting to another location and finding himself on the road. He saw a car approaching.
Zhou Yan used his mental abilities to plunge the driver into a hallucination and make the car pull over.
"Go ahead, Ye Bufan. I'm counting on you," Zhou Yan said.
"Why don't you turn into that woman yourself?" Ye Bufan felt a bit hesitant as the moment arrived.
"I originally planned to, but since you insisted on participating, I changed my plan," Zhou Yan replied.
"For 150 trillion, I'll endure it!" Ye Bufan declared.
Although Ye Bufan's family was wealthy, it was the entire family that was rich, not him personally. The funds he could access were limited, and he couldn't use family resources limitlessly to develop his territory. It was simply impossible.
"What about her?" Ye Bufan asked, looking at the woman beside him after getting into the car. This was simple.
Zhou Yan took out an item and stored her in it, then handed it to Ye Bufan, saying, "After you get what you need, place her near the Helin patriarch. I will implant memories into her mind, and she won't know anything."
Ye Bufan nodded and asked, "What about you?"
"I'm your driver," Zhou Yan replied, then completely transformed into the appearance of a driver and temporarily stored the original driver in his territory.
Zhou Yan sat in the driver's seat and said to Ye Bufan, "Darling, it's time for us to go."
"Holy crap, don't be so disgusting!" Ye Bufan almost gagged.
Zhou Yan chuckled and transformed Ye Bufan into the woman's likeness. Ye Bufan's voice, appearance, height, and measurements were now identical to the Helin family patriarch's lover.
Zhou Yan gave Ye Bufan an item: two pills. Ye Bufan asked, "What are these?"
"Take the white one; it's the antidote. As for the red pill, once you see the Helin patriarch, crush it directly, and it will plunge him into a hallucination. Don't worry, even a demigod would fall victim to this. You'll be fine," Zhou Yan explained.
"All you need to do is take this item out once you're in the room..."
Zhou Yan drove the car towards the entrance of the Helin family estate. Helin family security guards stopped the vehicle and checked the occupants. After confirming everything was in order, two guards began scanning the entire car.
With no issues, the guard said, "Open the gate."
The gate opened, the barrier was lifted, and the formation dissipated. The vehicle drove inside.
Countless powerful spiritual energies swept over the car. Zhou Yan transmitted mentally, "Don't be nervous. They won't detect anything. It's just a routine check."
Ye Bufan's mind settled, and after the spiritual energies receded, he said, "Someone will escort you upstairs. I'll wait for you down here."
"Mhm." After the car stopped, Ye Bufan got out. A maid led Ye Bufan upstairs, while he was instructed to park the car in a designated spot.
Once upstairs, Ye Bufan entered a room but didn't see Helin Will. He asked, "What is Will doing?"
"Madam, Mr. Will will be here shortly. Please wait a moment," the maid replied.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan couldn't resist teasing, "It seems our Ms. Ye Bufan is already impatient!"
"I just want to return to my normal self as soon as possible. That's all. I swear, I never want to be a woman again!" Ye Bufan retorted angrily.
"But you're a cross-dressing master! Keep at it, and I promise I'll keep your secret," Zhou Yan said.
"He's here! I hope the thing you gave me is effective," Ye Bufan heard a commotion.
"Don't worry, I won't mess around." Zhou Yan was confident about this.
Not long after, the room door opened, and the patriarch of the Helin family, Helin Will, walked in. He looked at the cross-dressed Ye Bufan and said, "My dear, I've missed you so much."
Ye Bufan smiled at Helin Will as he entered.
He then immediately crushed the pill in his hand. The pill turned into a colorless and odorless gas that dispersed into the air. Ye Bufan couldn't detect any scent.
"Is this thing effective? I can't smell anything," Ye Bufan transmitted.
"If it had a smell, wouldn't it be detected? Relax, wait a few dozen seconds, and it will take effect," Zhou Yan replied.
"Will, you're too eager. Let's have a drink first," Ye Bufan said quickly.
"My dear is right. I have some excellent red wine here." Will took out a bottle of red wine from his spatial ring, poured two glasses, and handed one to the cross-dressed Ye Bufan. "Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
After drinking, Will collapsed onto the bed. Ye Bufan immediately stepped forward and took a storage belt from him, asking, "Is this it?"
"That's right, it is," Zhou Yan confirmed.
Ye Bufan checked the contents of the spatial belt and then smiled, "We're rich this time."
"Don't forget to put the fake one back with him, place the real Lisa on the bed, and finally, put that thing I gave you in the room. Everything will be fine," Zhou Yan instructed.
