Chapter 704: Shanjenna’s Opportunity
Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze
After thinking about it silently, Shanjenna eventually nodded in agreement. That Tang Xiu was evidently a lofty bigshot. Such a powerful figure, would he even accept other’s employment for some money? Unlikely.
However, after pondering and giving up the idea, Shanjenna cheered up again nonetheless. At least, the feeling of having survived a dire predicament did feel great. She took a deep breath, and then looked at Han Jintong and said with a smile, “I really have to thank you on this one, Professor. Without your protection, I would have been depraved into some medicament and stinking bloody pulp.”
Han Jintong was thinking about how to obtain more advanced cultivation techniques and how to become a true expert like Tang Xiu. Therefore, he did not pay attention to Shanjenna’s words, perfunctorily replied with “you’re welcome”, and then prepared to lead her out.
“Umm?”
Suddenly, Shanjenna curiously shifted her sight toward the depths of the forested mountain, because she saw a burly man who just left with Tang Xiu return.
Han Jintong was startled by her. After following the direction of her gaze, he then found Jin Shi flying towards them. He arrived in front of them after several breaths, immediately cupping his hands and said, “Is there anything this Brother wants to tell me?”
“My Boss sent me to ask whether you’re interested to be his guest. If you are, you need to accept two of his requests.”
“What are the two requests?” Asked Han Jingtong immediately without thinking. He had been dreaming to establish a relationship with Tang Xiu all this while.
“Firstly, if you are to go with my Boss to a certain place, you must follow his instructions and cannot leave without his permission. Secondly, he wants to cooperate with her to perform some experiments.”
Shanjenna lifted her bloodstained finger to point at her own nose and surprisedly asked, “Your Boss wants to cooperate with me on some experiments? What exactly are them?”
“I don’t know.” Jin Shi shook his head.
Han Jintong slightly furrowed his brows. He looked at Shanjenna and then shifted his gaze toward the direction Tang Xiu left, and suddenly asked, “May I ask whether the experiments Tang Xiu wants to perform would injure Shanjenna?”
“I don’t know about it either.” Jin Shi still shook his head and paused for a moment, and pensively thought before saying, “If my Boss wanted to harm her, he could have already done it before. And I don’t think you could resist either.”
Han Jintong instantly relaxed. He looked at Shanjenna and said, “You can choose to refuse now, Shanjenna. I’ll still do everything I can to send you out of China. But you can opt to stay here as well, on the premise that you cooperate with Mr. Tang to conduct some experiments. I believe he won’t harm you given his character.”
“What about Mr. Tang’s place? Is it safe?” Asked Shanjenna cautiously.
“It should be safer than leaving you alone,” said Han Jintong. “Besides, the Darksoul Scent is currently on you, and if the assassination agents from the Stygian Club keep hunting you, you only have a slim chance to escape. If you opt to stay and wait in Mr. Tang’s place until the Darksoul Scent on you completely dissipates, you can then leave quietly.”
Shanjenna felt joyous inwardly and nodded with an excited expression, saying, “Alright. Then I choose to stay. As long as Mr. Tang doesn’t harm me, I’m willing to cooperate and conduct the experiments with him.”
Laoshan Highway.
Five SUVs were parked on the roadside. Tang Xiu sat in the car in the middle while smoking and watched the young men outside the window, who wore respectful expressions and spoke to them in satisfaction, “You’ve done a very good job this time. What’s your name?”
“Wang Ya! (Chen Song!)” The duo replied separately.
Tang Xiu nodded, “Work hard in the future and strive to assume the highest two posts in Shanghai’s intelligence division. I’m looking forward to seeing you render your service under me in the future.”
Chen Song and Wang Ya’s eyes lit up and immediately nodded repeatedly with excited expressions.
Tang Xiu took two porcelain bottles from his interspatial ring, each of which contained a drop of Body Refining Liquid, and threw it to the duo and said, “When you go back home, pour this into your bathtub along with warm water, and then soak yourselves inside. Do remember, however, that no matter how painful it gets you must endure for half an hour. It will give you some benefits.”
“Thank you, Boss!” The duo held the porcelain bottles with fervent eyes, as though they just had discovered some precious relics.
When the duo departed and as Tang Xiu had finished smoking, he saw that Jin Shi, with Han Jintong and Shanjenna, had arrived. He did not speak to the two and let them board the car, and then issued an order to leave.
The reason why he had a sudden change in mind to bring along Han Jintong and Shanjenna back was that he remembered something. The vampire body he took would definitely have its blood activity weakened, and eventually would have its activity died. But Shanjenna was different since she was a living vampire. Maybe he would gain something if he could study her blood and her organs.
On the way back, he called Mo Yi and asked the old man to put aside his research and immediately rush to Shanghai alone. Mo Yi was a biologist, and he knew that this man would continue to complete his research on the vampires since he himself also had a faint expectation about the final result.
