Chapter 236 Playboy's Storm Rises

Located in Las Vegas, the "Playboy" club "Hugh Hefner Sky Villa" has some of the most luxurious suites in the world. Each suite features a spacious living room, dining room, toilet, multimedia room, gym, sauna, spa area, bar and solarium, the living room is decked in luxurious Italian marble, beautifully placed with large bronze sculptures, and each room including the bathroom is equipped with a large plasma TV. In addition, almost every balcony has an open-air plunge pool the size of half a basketball court.

In particular, the ceiling of the bedroom is a huge mirror, and the waterbed below can be rotated in all directions. Guests don't have to step out of their rooms, just sit on the balcony in the ultra-luxurious $700,000 Jacuzzi, which offers sweeping views of the Las Vegas Strip through floor-to-ceiling glass. In addition to the beautiful hardware, the software here is equally impeccable. Each guest can enjoy 24-hour butler service, with a personal masseuse, private chef and card game tools on call.

So despite the standard charge of $40,000 per night, many Hollywood stars and international sports elites still flock to it, and many high rollers who spend a lot of money in the casino also make it their first choice, and they have to book a month in advance, and they don't always get the room they want.

Among the many luxury suites, there is one that seems particularly luxurious, the living room is paved with luxurious Italian marble, displaying paintings by Picasso, Monet and even John Lennon, if you don't know that the whole floor of the bedroom is a sofa bed, ignore some ** small props, this is a luxury palace. Of course, this is not a presidential suite, because there is always only one guest in this room, and he is the founder of Playboy, Hugh Hefner.

Hefner, who was now sitting in the luxurious living room of his private suite, had lost half of his hearing, but his mind was still sharp and clear. In an interview with an Associated Press reporter at the Playboy Building earlier this month, the old man struggled several times to get up from his position. However, Hefner himself believes that 80 years old is a person's middle age, and as long as the spirit is not old, youth and vitality will never leave the human body. In the company of his three girlfriends, he feels younger than he did fifteen years ago. Despite being 83 years old and having had a stroke, Hefner still maintains a Viagra-driven lifestyle. He has a regular sex life with 3 girlfriends, all of whom are almost half a century younger than him. This guy also often shuttles between celebrities and enjoys a casual life as he likes.

However, at this moment, he was not accompanied by a sexy and glamorous blonde, on the contrary, across the sofa where he was sitting, there was a short, obscene-looking brown-haired man, especially the pair of small eyes on his face, which easily reminded people of the adjective "thief's eyebrows".

Such a person would be annoying when he appeared in front of him, especially in Hefner's golden living room. But there he stood there, looking at Hefner with a smirk.

Hefner looked at the guy with the slightest hint of disgust, but considering that he had something of interest in him, he had to sit patiently here.

"Tell me, what did you bring me this time?" Hefner's voice was cold and indifferent, but in the ears of the lewd man opposite, it was tantamount to a heavenly sound.

The man named Watson swallowed and pretended to be mysterious, "I promise that news will surprise you"

"There are so many things in this world that surprise me... I'm wasting my time sitting here, not here to listen to your frivolous bragging, and if the information you provide doesn't work for me, I won't hesitate to have you thrown you out of here."

Seeing the impatience in Hefner's eyes, Watson nodded busily like a chicken pecking rice, and then changed to an increasingly respectful tone: "This news is related to Hollywood's big star Lin... I've been secretly following him since he became famous, and so far I've come to the conclusion that he's had illicit relationships with at least six female Hollywood stars."

Hefner frowned, he was very disgusted by Watson's use of the word "illicit relationship", "You mean he's with someone else's wife?" ”

Watson looked at Hefner with a worried expression, he didn't know that he had said the wrong thing there, anyway, Hefner's face was ugly now, which was not a good sign. Faced with Hefner's questioning, he hurriedly explained: "No, the female stars he dated are currently single, but one of them was once married, and I suspect that she divorced her ex-husband because of her interference." ”

"The women you're talking about aren't all unfamous actors, are they?" Hefner snorted coldly: "I don't want to help them become famous like other newspapers." ”

"It's definitely not what you thought it would be, you'll probably believe what I say if you've read this list," Watson swore and cursed, then pulled a small notebook out of his jacket pocket and tore one of the pages off it.

Hefner took the list suspiciously, then glanced casually upward. His face was as usual, but there were turbulent waves in his heart. Whether it's Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, who have already become famous and a little older, or Kate Beckinsale, Meghan Fox, Scarlett Johansson, Blake Flair, who have made a name for themselves in the film industry in recent years... Almost all of Hollywood's best beauties have become someone's private collection, although they are prepared, but the "luxury" of the actress lineup on this list still makes Hefner smack.

"What's the name of these circles?" Looking down then, Hefner was a little confused about the contents of the list.

Watson explained: "These female stars are very close to Lin, but the relationship is not very certain, so I specially marked it. ”

Hefner flicked the list in his hand with his finger, "So you have conclusive evidence in your hands for people who don't draw circles, which can prove that they and Lin had something to do before?" ”

"This..."Watson glanced at Hefner with some embarrassment, "because I am very careful when dating these women, so I don't have any clear evidence in my hands for the time being, but I can assure you that most of the actresses on the list have a leg of the same thing, as long as I give me more time and manpower, I will definitely be able to catch their flaws"

As soon as Hefner's hand was released, the list was casually thrown to the ground by him, and under his piercing gaze, Watson didn't even dare to bend down to pick up the list he had "painstakingly" sorted out.

Hefner sneered, "There is no evidence, do you think there is any difference between this thing and the lace news in the newspapers?" ”

Hefner's words made Watson fall into an ice cave, and he stammered for a long time before he stammered: "Although there is no evidence, this is a clear clue, and I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to get more evidence." ”

Hefner fumbled around for a while, then interrupted Wolf impatiently, "Do you have fire on you?" ”

Watson, who didn't know what to do, hurriedly took out a lighter from his pocket and stepped forward to light Hefner, but he found that the other party didn't mean to smoke or a cigar at all, and he was stunned in embarrassment.

"Don't be stupid, I mean let you burn that list yourself" Hefner sneered as he looked at Watson, who was at a loss.

"Burn it... But it's something I've worked so hard to sort out," Watson's voice trembled visibly, not knowing whether it was disappointment or fear.

He picked up the piece of paper tremblingly, hid it in his arms like a treasure, and finally glanced at Hefner warily: "If you think this clue is useless, there really is nothing to say between us." ”

"And you're going to go to another newspaper owner?" Hefner saw Watson's mind at a glance, and he shook his head with a smile, "I can tell you very clearly, even if the list you hold in your hand is true, no one will believe your words, and even if someone does, they will not pay for your stuff and put it in the newspaper." ”

Watson looked at Hefner with some doubts, he knew that there was no need for a character like the other party to joke with a little person like himself, but he was a little unwilling to give up, so he couldn't help but ask more: "Why?" ”

"Why?" Hefner looked at Watson with a funny face, "What do you think will happen if this list is published?" ”

Watson's face was fanatical: "This will be the biggest scandal in the history of the Hollywood entertainment industry, and it can even cause a sensation all over the world"

"Scandal?" Hefner suddenly felt that Watson was very ignorant, "I want to remind you that Lin is not married until now, and his personal affairs are not worth mentioning at all in my opinion, can you still push him to the moral judgment seat?" He's neither an a** nor an extramarital affair, even if you get conclusive evidence, what can you do with him? ”

Watson argued: "I can make him ruined, at least not in the entertainment industry"

Hefner seemed to hear a big joke, and his face was full of sarcasm: "If this little thing can ruin Lin's reputation, then I have slept with thousands of women, wouldn't I have died several times ago?" ”

Watson was speechless for a while, Hefner's romance is known to the world, but he is still getting good now, and even living with his three girlfriends in the early stage, no one thinks there is anything wrong with this, let alone criticizing Hefner.

"I think you're different from Lin, he's a big star in Hollywood, and reputation is the most precious thing to him..."

"So you mean that I don't care about my reputation and have been living in this world brazenly?" Hefner's face was cold, which made Watson chuckle in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

He hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that..."

Hefner ignored his explanation, "I don't have the interest or time to care about your thoughts, but I want to tell you, reputation is really important to Lin, but it would be a fool's dream for you to hit him just with the things you have in your hands."

"The things you want to expose can indeed have a certain impact on his star path, but you don't forget that Lin has never been a simple star. Even if his positive image is damaged and the audience no longer likes to worship him, he can still retreat behind the scenes and become a screenwriter or director. Even screenwriters and directors can't do it, and he still has MGM in his hands... Just because of this little thing, I want to bring down a super-rich person who can be ranked in the top 100 in the world, in my eyes you are no different from an idiot"

"But—" Watson tried to argue, but Hefner wouldn't give him the chance at all.

"There is nothing but you can suspect that there is something wrong with Lin's private life, and that the media, which has more resources in their hands, are they as unaware as idiots? The editors-in-chief of those big newspapers don't want you to be so brainless, they know that if such a report is issued, it is very likely to attract Lin fierce revenge Lin is like a tiger, and his reputation is like a cage, and he himself is willing to lock himself in it. But if someone insists on breaking this cage, once there is no reputation for it, it is easy for this tiger to eat people. ”

"Only those lace tabloids might be interested in what you have in your hands, but they won't give you a satisfactory price... Even if you get a lot of money because of it, it's only if you have the life to enjoy it. If I could, I could have done you quietly for a sum of money. Hefner gestured with his hand to his temple in a shooting gesture that startled Wolf.

Hefner gave him a disdainful look, if he hadn't kindly reminded him, this guy wouldn't have known that he was dying.

"Is it really as serious as you say?" Worf was frightened this time, and he looked at Hefner with an almost pleading look, "So what should I do?" ”

Hefner nodded: "You're just an idiot, but you've done at least one thing right... The information you provide is a pile of waste paper to others, but it is still somewhat useful to me. I can give you a sum of money, but not to buy what you have in your hands, but to tell you to shut up. ”

Watson froze, he clearly hadn't understood what Hefner meant.

Although he was annoyed for a while, Hefner still said patiently: "I don't have time to talk to you, I will meet with Lin in the near future, and I will give him these things in your hand as a 'meeting gift' when the time comes... How do you think Lin would react when he knew about this? ”

Hefner's gloomy eyes made Watson shudder, and he thought of what Hefner had just said about killing people.

"If you don't want to disappear from the world after taking the money, leave the United States immediately, and don't let the second person know about what you have... If you take the money and you can't control your mouth, then you should first be ready to go to God's enlightenment."

Watson said curiously: "Aren't you going to make this public?" ”

Hefner squinted, "One last piece of advice for you, before you decide to be curious about something, think about whether you are qualified to know about it, or you may not even know how you died"

Watson didn't dare to say anything, he obediently chose the second path that Hefner pointed him out. Watson knew that Hefner wasn't joking with him or scaring him, and when he got the money, he was going to Mexico to get out of the limelight.

After he left, another person came to Hefner's living room. The graying of his sideburns showed that the man was only slightly younger than Hefner, who was Hefner's most trusted assistant, Kennett.

Kennett had been with Hefner 40 years earlier, and his role was somewhat akin to that of a loyal butler. Hefner may avoid the woman he loves, but he never hides it from Kennett, and the two have maintained a tacit understanding of mutual trust for many years.

At this time, Kennett's face did not have a relaxed expression like Hefner's, but a face full of worry: "I think it is a wise choice for you to threaten Lin with this matter. ”

Hefner looked out the window at the Las Vegas Strip, which was dyed golden by the setting sun, and sighed faintly: "Do you think this level of threat can make Lin compromise?" ”

"Obviously not," Kennett replied directly.

Hefner nodded, "So I never intended to threaten him with this, it was just a bargaining chip for me to cooperate with him." ”

"What if Lin refuses to cooperate with us?" Kennett hesitated, "Are you going to make this public?" ”

Hefner shrugged disappreciatively, "Although I don't care about Lin's revenge after that, what good is it for me to do so other than adding an enemy to myself?" ”

"But in this way, won't all your arrangements for today be in vain?"

"Don't worry, we wiped Lin's ass, and he will definitely say something." Hefner's face looked very determined and unfathomable, as if he knew that Lin Mingyang would definitely accept this cooperation.

"But—" Kennett tried to say something, but finally held back.

"Even if it's not for this collaboration, I would love to meet Lin." Hefner touched his face and muttered, "He makes me feel really old... can actually make a drag with 6 Hollywood female stars at the same time, and all of them are superb, I really want to know, how did this guy do it? ”
