Chapter 581 - Xiong Mai and Lu Jins Agreement (III) (1/2)
If possible, Lu Jin wanted to offer an alliance to Xiong Mai and Xiong Zhi.
However, it depended on whether the latter woman was willing or not.
Xiong Mai did not like Lu Jin's answer.
”How could it be an assurance? Your response does not satisfy my condition.”
Lu Jin was silent.
What could he offer as an assurance to make this woman agree?
No matter how much he thought, Xiong Mai was not a person who was easily swayed by power. What was more, Lu Jin felt that Xiong Mai might even abandon everything and fight him all out if ever he pushed the wrong buttons.
That wrong button seemed to be her niece.
It would be really troublesome if that happened.
The quiet man made a decision.
Since Xiong Mai only wanted to not be involved deeply in this conflict and have a way out for her niece, Lu Jin decided to accommodate her wish.
He sighed.
”I understand. I will do everything in my power to not let Xiong Zhi be deeply involved with this. If she gets involved, I will see to it that she will have a way out.”
Xiong Mai smiled.
Now that was what she wanted.
She did not care what would happen in Country C as long as she and her niece would be out of it. It was a war she did not want to get involved in.
”Alright. Since you promised me, I'll give you what you want.”
The following discussion went smoothly and Xiong Mai gave her signature to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin finally filled up one of the two missing signatures.
There was only one left.

When Lu Jin finally left, the trusted assistant poured another cup of tea for Xiong Mai.
”President, will it be really alright?”
She knew that her boss did not like to get involved in any shady dealings or troublesome matters involving the underground forces. But giving that signature was akin to giving aide to Lu Jin's plan.
Xiong Mai sipped on her tea. She did not answer but spoke instead, ”Who do you think is behind that young man?”
”It is probably his father who disappeared from the upper society, Ming Zhi Yi.”
”Ming Zhi Yi... That guy, he did not disappear from the upper society. He merely hid from the other factions' eyes while letting himself grow underground. That, we confirmed today.” She looked thoughtfully at her own teacup before asking, ”A snake pays a visit to a cave with little cubs inside, and then comes out after a some time, what do you think is the reason for coming out?”
The assistant understood Xiong Mai's words. ”The snake... has finished eating the cubs...”
”That's right. Not just finished eating, it also fully digested the prey. The snake finally came out of the cave to hunt again.”
The remaining words did not need to be spoken.
Ming Zhi Yi, who disappeared from the upper society for a long time suddenly appeared in the Tang's concert banquet last week.
In front of the influential powerhouses, he revealed himself confidently.
What did it mean?
It meant that Ming Zhi Yi was ready to take action.
Xiong Mai took another sip.
Underworld...
If they had the means to control EU and was already in the process of eating a big apple, IAmFashionista, then it was a bigger reason to stay out of their way and not make an enemy of them.
Xiong Mai sighed.
She did not really want to get involved with them.
”For now, let's take advantage of this peaceful time before the real war starts,” Xiong Mai said to her trusted assistant.
