Chapter 49: Encounter with Red Light

  "To think of it, the clothes I prepared for Kate, she doesn't seem to have worn them even once. She really doesn't care about her own body!"

  Lisa seemed to remember something.

  "Uh..."

  Catherine really didn't know what to say anymore.

  To be honest, Lisa's clothes are getting better and better now, and Catherine also likes to wear the clothes made by Lisa, but the problem is that those clothes are worn to school... it really doesn't look good.

  Of course, it's no problem to wear these clothes outside. But the current security situation has also determined that Catherine dare not dress like this. Unless she has some bodyguards or can do kung fu herself, then it's okay.

  "Wow~"

  "Bang——"

  Lily suddenly jumped into the swimming pool, splashing up a big wave of water.

  "Alright, let's discuss this issue later. Now, it's time to party!"

  Aida also rushed into the swimming pool with a smile.

  Catherine was also ready to go, when Lily's voice came over.

  "Lisa, this fabric... has a problem..."

  Aida is wearing a pink bodysuit. But now it looks more like flesh-colored.

  It's obvious that this fabric becomes transparent after being soaked in water.

  And Lisa didn't sew a bra into her swimsuit, so now it really looks like she's wearing nothing at all...

  So Catherine wisely chose not to go in for the time being, but instead walked towards the barbecue utensils on the side. Next to the outdoor swimming pool, there is a wild BBQ point that provides barbecue, which has a kind of wonderful feeling.

  But at this moment, Lily suddenly emerged from the water and grabbed Catherine, then pulled her down into the water.

  Catherine stumbled twice before she steadied herself.

  "Hey! Lily!"

  At this moment, Catherine's clothes on her body also became transparent.

  "You can't be an exception, Kate~"

  Lily smiled and joked.

  "Although there were some small unexpected things, but it doesn't matter... Lisa's face turned a little red with embarrassment, but she quickly calmed down,"Besides, we've already been honest with each other before, so what's the problem now?"

  Catherine shook her head and then rolled her eyes.

  The water in the swimming pool is not very deep, only about 1.5 or 1.6 meters, just enough to let people float without drowning.

  The sunset casts its glow on the water's surface, revealing a golden light.

  This scene is indeed very beautiful.

  "Are we spending the night here tonight?" Catherine asked suddenly.

  "That's right. However, there is only one room that has been cleaned up, and we will have to sleep together. As for other places, they still need to be tidied up."

  Catherine nodded.

  She looked again at her swimsuit which had become semi-transparent.

  Somehow, this half-concealing and half-revealing dress gave her a kind of exciting feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was about it that made her feel such a sense of "pleasure".

  Then it was dinner time.

  Everyone came together to the barbecue rack beside the swimming pool, and while teasing each other, they ate barbecue.

  After eating, they went to rest. It's just that because the house is still inconvenient, there isn't anything fun to play with for now.

  Afterwards, they jointly purchased this villa together.

  However, after buying it, I couldn't move in immediately because many things inside were missing and needed to be renovated again. It would take about a month to get everything ready.

  This month, Lisa and Jenny have been up to something.

  And Catherine also started completing the company's preparations within this month.

  For this matter, Catherine temporarily recruited a group of college students to conduct questionnaire surveys with veterans to ask if they had the intention of becoming mercenaries and whether other ordinary people who met physical standards were interested in joining such an organization.

  Catherine has already made up her mind and will contact Old White as soon as the investigation results come out and meet her own expectations.

  But when Catherine told Bruce about this matter, something went wrong...

  "What? Kate, you're going into the mercenary business?"

  Bruce jumped with fright.

  If Catherine's other industries are connected, then this mercenary industry cannot be linked to her previous industries in any way.

  How did she think of this?!

  To be honest, Bruce was really scared by Catherine, and very deeply.

  "Kate, you're spreading it on too thick."

  This was Bruce's second warning to Catherine.

  "Isn't being able to make money enough?"

  "But you will also have endless trouble."

  "I'm not afraid of trouble."

  "But I'm afraid, Kate. A company like that, if it's too small, there's no value or benefit, but if it's too big, do you think one person can handle it?"

  "Uh..."

  "It's an industry like this that is too dangerous, and you're so smart, there's absolutely no need for you to be involved in it."

  "But this is profiteering! And now nobody even dares to get involved in this area!"

  "No, it doesn't mean you can just wade in, Kate. Pioneers are often knocked down by those who come after them. You don't have enough strength unless the country takes notice of you, but that probability is tiny, Kate."

  "But..."

  "But Kate, we have no background and no one to rely on. If someone wants to take our business away, do we have any means?"

  Catherine was momentarily speechless.

  Even if it succeeds, what's the point?

  Having no support or reliance of one's own, in the end can only become meat on the chopping board.

  Bruce is right.

  "Alright, Kate, I'll take care of your documents for now. As for the company, I'll go and handle it, but you can't interfere with this matter."

  "Hey! How can this be!"

  Catherine protested.

  "When you have enough capital, I will consider returning this company to you. For now, it is temporarily taken over by me. And the legal representative was originally me, not you, you need to understand that."

  "Feudalism! Dictatorship! Capitalism!"

  "We were always capitalists, Kate."

  Catherine pouted.

  "Runze brother, Enlai comrade, if you were born in America... how great that would be... Communist Glory, Red Badge of Honor, Military Road Killing Fist..."

  Catherine could turn back, but she felt a warmth in her heart.

  There are always many things in this world that cannot be as wished, but there are also people who care about and protect themselves.

  After Bruce's words, Catherine seemed to calm down a bit.

  Indeed, in such an industry, if someone wants to take away one's own results, how can one protect oneself?

  Some things can't be taken for granted.

  "Alas... I truly hope this country can evolve peacefully."

  Catherine let out another dissatisfied sigh.

  ……

  What's dark about this book? What's heavy about it?

  Piercings and tattoos? I don't have any at all! I'm very innocent!
