Chapter 324.2: Youll Catch Cold if You Sleep on the Ground (1/2)

“Forget it, I said too much. It’s probably hard for you to accept it all at once.” Gu Xun watched her brows furrow for a while, then shifted away from this topic with a laugh. “In any case, I hope Alliance Head Li will keep these matters secret for me, especially from my brother.”

Gu Xun’s qualms were not unfounded. She had personally seen Bai Feiyun visit Bai Luoqing before she left Huai City. In addition, Bai Feiyun’s behavior truly has been strange lately. He had actually put poison on Jun Xin’s injury. That was something she couldn’t tolerate!

“Since I’ve told you everything, Alliance Head Li, shouldn’t you also show me your bottom line?”

“For now, I won’t say whether I agree to this yet. I’d like to first ask, Boss Gu, how are you so sure I can help you? You should be able to see that I can barely protect myself right now. After my identity has been revealed, I don’t even know how to get back to Huai City, so how am I supposed to help you?” asked Tang Doudou with a wry smile.

Gu Xun seemed to have expected this as he replied with a laugh, “Alliance Head Li, I naturally plan to guarantee your safety after getting you into this situation. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get back to Huai City safely.”

“Really?” Tang Doudou glanced at him skeptically. “Boss Gu, there’s one more thing that I don’t understand.”

Gu Xun poured himself another cup. “You don’t understand why I’m helping you so much?”

“That’s right! I already owe you a lot for saving Baili Yu, so there’s really no need for you to go through so much extra lengths. However, you were waiting for me to come, weren’t you? You hid Baili Yu on purpose, not due to circumstances like you’ve said.”

“Alliance Head Li is truly intelligent. That’s right, I do have something I need your help with.”

Tang Doudou nodded. “I won’t try to guess anymore, please just state it.”

“Alliance Head, I want the position of alliance head.” Gu Xun had a very bright smile on his face. “Alliance Head Li, are you willing?”

Tang Doudou didn’t know how to express her current feelings. She was shocked, surprised, and confused. Why would Gu Xun, a businessman, want to become the martial arts alliance head?

“Alliance Head Li must be curious why a businessman like me chose to ask for your alliance head position instead of the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce, right?”

He was correct. As of now, both Baili Yu and she was in his hands, so it’d be quite easy for him to force them to give him the Heng Xuan Chamber of Commerce. However, it would be much harder to get the alliance head position since Cloud City also had a say in it.

“However, I can’t tell you the details.” Gu Xun stood up, then glanced out the window. “It’s already quite late, so I won’t impose upon you two further. Alliance Head Li, please consider what I said before. I hope to receive a favorable reply tomorrow. That would be good for both of us.”

After he said that, he turned and left the room.

Then a courtesan came in to clean up the table.

This courtesan was familiar. It was Jin Yi, who had served her last time.

“If Sir Tang has any needs, just call. Jin Yi will be guarding the door outside.” After Jin Yi finished clearing the table, he lowered his eyes and spoke demerely to Tang Doudou.

Tang Doudou glanced at him, then suddenly rushed towards him with a dagger in hand.

Jin Yi hadn’t expected her to attack so suddenly without a word. When he saw that her dagger was heading towards his neck, he instantly dodged to the side.

By the time he recovered his calm, Tang Doudou was no longer attacking. He realized that he had revealed himself.
