Chapter 184 Bring Yunzhu Under Control (2/2)

After exchanging greetings, Lin Mengya went straight to the point.

She had nothing to keep from them since they were her people.

After a moment of thought, Baiji’s parents cautiously spoke.

“Master, I am very honored to have your confidence, but my experience as the steward of a landlord’s home was many years ago. I’m afraid of…of spoiling your business, Master.”

Lin Mengya had expected that they would decline.

After a while, she spoke in a friendly manner.

“Don’t worry. There are only a few things that need to be done at my store. I only need a close person to take care of it.”

Lin Mengya planned to develop Baishao and Baiji to be the shopkeepers on the surface.

And as for behind the shop, she had her own plans.

After a second of thought, Baiji’s parents said yes.

It was alright for them to just take care of the shop.

“Well then, I’ll send someone to show you the store. And there is another thing: Please keep it a secret.”

They nodded instantly. They knew this kind of thing as well.

Baiji took one night off to stay with her parents. Liuxin Courtyard, which had been bustling with laughter, became quiet.

Lin Mengya had no plan to tell Long Tianhao about the drugstore.

Recently, she had sensed that something had changed in the way Long Tianhao treated her.

They understood each other more.

Whether in the open or in secret, Long Tianhao protected her. However, she knew clearly that his support was because he considered her his person, and not because he loved her.

Therefore, she still insisted on developing her own power silently, no matter how upset she felt.

“It’s so late. Your Highness, how cozy you are.”

With a gust of wind, a figure in black appeared next to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya kept reading the book under the light as if she had expected the appearance of that black figure.

“I can’t sleep. Reading helps me kill time.”

Lin Mengya didn’t move, still focused on the book.

“You are so bold, Your Highness, I have to admit it. Don’t you know how much your life is in the black market?”

The cloak was taken off, and a wrinkled face was exposed.

If you looked at it carefully, you would find it older than before.

It was the well-known prostitute, and also the top killer of Peach Blossom Dock, Yunzhu.

“You seem to be more severely ill.”

Without turning her head, Lin Mengya had received the information about Yunzhu’s health condition from the Radar in her brain.

She sighed and turned around, her bright eyes focused on the lady.

“Was it worth it?”

Women cared most about their face.

The more beautiful the woman, the more she cared about it.

But an unrivaled beauty like Yunzhu was willing to give up her beautiful face for a man.

Lin Mengya hadn’t asked, but she could guess a bit.

“It doesn’t matter. Without him, Yunzhu is only a sharp sword. His existence made Yunzhu a living woman.”

Lin Mengya shook her head and then fetched a pill on the table.

“Eat it. It won’t get rid of the poison, but at least your health won’t get any worse. Don’t use your own body to try poison next time. If the poison gets into your brain, even I won’t be able to save your life.”

She sensed that Lin Mengya had seen through her condition.

A hopeful light shone in Yunzhu’s eyes.

Lately, she had found it difficult to control her emotions.

She would go crazy without the one she was worried about.

“Thank you.”

After a while, Yunzhu expressed her gratitude.

She took the pill without suspecting Lin Mengya.

“I will try my best to meet your demands, but I want you to govern my people in the darkness. Do you agree or not?”

In her opinion, Yunzhu was the best choice.

Yunzhu, who grew up in a place where all kinds of people came and went, was skilled in socializing with the mafia as well as the government.

It was not convenient for Lin Mengya to show up, and it would also be trouble if Qinghu was recognized.

Therefore, Yunzhu was the best choice.

“Are you not worried that I will betray you?”

Yunzhu felt confused.

Lin Mengya had just met her twice. How could Lin Mengya trust her so much?”

“Qinghu told me that when you quit, it almost ruined the whole system of Peach Blossom Dock in the Capital City. You are such a talent. It will be a waste if I refuse to choose you.”

Lin Mengya looked at her with utmost sincerity.

Yunzhu stared at Lin Mengya frankly for a second before finally smiling slightly.

“You’re right, Master.”

Implying that she agreed to her request.

Extending her slim hand, Lin Mengya cracked a smile.

“Well then, let’s work together.”

Yunzhu was willing to destroy her appearance for a man, she must value affections and personal loyalty highly.
