386 Yousre Safe Now (1/2)
Suddenly, a voice came down from the stairs to join the discussion. ”No, it's only two hundred square meters.”
Ye Shuang lifted her head and then saw the weakened Han Chu, who should have been in hiding, slowly walk down the stairs.
Jennifer's people all turned their guns to Han Chu. Ye Shuang sighed. ”You should have waited for me to finish the negotiation with her first.”
The situation was too dangerous.
”It doesn't matter.” A barely discernible determination weaved through Han Chu's calm reply. He ignored the guns pointing at him and continued down the stairs in the same speed. ”Since you have entered such a dangerous negotiation with the enemy, as your superior, I feel like I should act more courageously so that you won't steal all the thunder.”
”A man's pride?” Jennifer scoffed.
Anthony jumped on the windowsill to wave at his good friend. ”Hi Han, good evening.”
”I don't think this evening is that good.” While he spoke, he pushed away a gun that was about to push against his temple. Han Chu's tone was firm and calm. ”I don't like to be pointed at. Furthermore, you need information, and for that, I have to be kept alive… so you won't really shoot me. On top of that, your boss is under my partner's gun. After considering everything, I know that you are merely putting on a show. That's not necessary, so why waste both of our time?”
The gunner obviously hesitated, and as Han Chu walked past him, he turned to Jennifer helplessly.
”Idiot,” Jennifer mocked and turned to Han Chu. ”Why did you say it was only two hundred square meters?”
”From the location your cars and other not so important details.” Han Chu narrowed his eyes at Ye Shuang and pushed away the latter's help to hold his arm. ”You can do that when my arm is really broken. We'll talk about this later.”
Brother Shuang sighed. ”Can't we call it even?”
The time at the fruit farm evened out the jump out the window. Instead of keeping count of all those things, why not just pretend that nothing ever happened?
This was the first thing that Ye Shuang had realized that Han Chu was more narrow-minded than she thought. They probably had not encountered something like this before, so she had not noticed that in the past.
It was unclear whether Han Chu agreed or was too lazy to deal with her, but he turned around. ”Miss Jennifer, it's only a waste of time if we continue this. It is true that you have the determination, but no idiot would blow themself up unless there was no other choice. Our helpers have arrived, and I admit that you do have some leverage, so how about we come to a transaction that both parties can accept?”
Jennifer examined Han Chu with interest. ”Who is negotiating with whom?”
She pulled on her collar absent-mindedly to expose the lace of her bra. ”Are you going to negotiate with me?”
”So, you are homosexual.” Han Chu dropped this bomb without changing the expression on his face. But Ye Shuang was stunned by the load of information secured in this sentence. Then Han Chu made an expression that looked like he just got it. ”Oh right, I forgot that you always separate your business and pleasure, Miss Jennifer.”
Silence, a deathlike silence. Someone seemed to press a pause button in the room. Even the air stilled for several seconds. The explosive gossip made people forget the dangerous situation.
Ye Shuang leaned to Han Chu and whispered in alarm, ”Did you tell me to be careful around Jennifer earlier because of that?”
”Don't worry.” A mocking smile appeared on Han Chu's lips. He replied in the same low whisper as he looked down Brother Shuang's neck. ”You are safe now.”
”…” Ye Shuang.
Even though the transformation was a surprise, the accident that always troubled Ye Shuang gave Ye Shuang a rare sense of relief this time. Her sexuality was definitely straight!
Anthony leaned on the window and almost poked half of his body in. ”What should we do now? I'm rather bored.”
Han Chu did not turn his head around. ”Then go and find a pair of shoes for Shuang.”
He lowered his head to study Ye Shuang's feet. ”About size thirty-nine?”
Then he turned to Jennifer and urged, ”Miss Jennifer, what do you have to say about my suggestion?”
Anthony lowered his head to play on his phone before saying, ”Whose number is XXXXXXXX? If you don't want me to tell your boss that you were discussing who she would be in bed with last week, then please help me find a pair of size thirty-nine shoes.”
The room was silent for a while, and then an unlucky idiot slithered upstairs to find the shoes. Jennifer looked at the man's back, and a man who was probably her second in command added, ”Miss, I'll talk to him later.”
Jennifer nodded imperceptibly before turning to Han Chu. ”Fine, let's skip the pointless talk. Other than the sudden invitation today, I don't think there are any other unnegotiable conflicts between us, right?”
Han Chu could not deny that.
Jennifer raised her brow at him. ”If we are negotiating now… okay, you can leave safety, that is your benefit, but what about me? You can't expect me to leave with nothing, right?”
Anthony smiled cutely and reported a series of numbers. ”I will keep the information downloaded from this number completely confidential. What do you think?”
Jennifer sighed and conceded after a while. ”What about Grace?”
”That has nothing to do with us,” Han Chu said calmly. ”She's not here to save us; we merely have the same goal, so my friend got a lift from her. I personally think that our promise to stay out of that is already our best offer. What do you think, Miss Jennifer?”
