C63 (2/2)
Qi Qi Qi glared at Mu Chen, and after greeting the other party's fawning smile, she shook off the hand he was holding onto her wrist with all her might and sat down on a chair.
”If you have anything to say, just say it in one breath. Let me be blunt. Although I, Zheng Qi, don't want to be a soldier anymore, I still have a bottom line to being a soldier. I won't use that bit of authority in my hands.”
Seeing how unmoved Qi Qi Qi was, He Yao couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, ”It's too much for me now. I'm still at the bottom line of the army. In the end, it's because I don't want to give enough benefits that I have to deal with this move.
On the contrary, it would make him suspect that her intentions were impure. After all, she was originally one of the elite soldiers that was praised by everyone, and even if she was attacked now, she shouldn't be so easily lured away, unless she had other motives.
Although he felt disdain in his heart, He Yao still showed a fawning smile on his face.
”Look at what you're saying, it's not that serious. Didn't I also not ask you to do some heinous thing? I just want you to let them go at the most critical moment. If I don't do this kind of thing, there's still someone else doing it. It would be better for me to let my own people take advantage of me. ” ”I know you don't lack money, but who in this world would care about money? Why would you need to spend money on something you can take for free? As long as you cooperate with me, you can count on my cooperation. Don't worry, you will get your share of benefits.”
She hadn't expected that He Yao would fall for her so easily. She was about to force herself to agree when she felt that her leg under the tablecloth had been lightly patted. Although she didn't turn around to look, Qi Qi Qi knew that Mu Chen didn't agree to her plan and wanted her to take a breather!
After all, it was her first time doing undercover work. She wasn't as accurate as Mu Chen, so she simply gave up the idea of nodding her head in agreement and maintained a cold expression, ”I can't answer you today. Let me think about it for a few more days.”
After saying this, she pulled Mu Chen and left without waiting for He Yao's reply.
”Why didn't you make me promise?” Once she got in the car, Qi Qi asked first. There was no one else in the car, so she didn't need to worry about others overhearing their conversation.
”Didn't you just say that you have a soldier's bottom line? You changed your mind in just a few words. Don't you think it's too fast? Moreover, He Yao hadn't told him his real plan yet. What he said was only to provide you with free supplies. With such little benefits, it's way too easy for you to bribe him! ”
Qi Qi Qi lowered her head to think, and indeed, it was not that she hadn't thought of this point, so in order to avoid He Yao's suspicion, she had first displayed the attitude of rejection. When she saw that He Yao's doubts had been cleared up a lot, she wanted to agree to it, but after listening to Mu Chen's analysis, she was indeed a little too anxious.
”I was being careless. I thought a popinjay like He Yao wouldn't have such a sharp mind.” Qi Qi didn't hesitate to admit her mistake. She had too many prejudices against a popinjay like He Yao, which would indeed affect her judgement.
”A popinjay doesn't mean they're stupid. No one is stupid enough to live in such a powerhouse circle. It's just that everyone spends different amounts of time and energy on different areas.”
As he humbly accepted Mu Chen's criticism, the conversation came to an end. For a moment, no one spoke. The carriage fell into silence.
From the corner of his eyes, Mu Chen saw Qi Seventh. Seeing her calm expression, he couldn't help but smile. ”What are you thinking about?”
Qi Qi Qi was stunned by Mu Chen's question. She really wasn't thinking about anything just now, and was just staring at Ye Jing blankly for a moment. She honestly replied, ”I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just letting my mind go empty. I just want to relax a bit.”
”Fang Zhijun seems to be looking for a way to get promoted. When I met them at the clubhouse just now, it should be Mei Hong helping him.”
The original owner's wish was only to have Fang Zhijun leave the army. Now that Fang Zhijun had left the army, whatever happened between him and Mei Hong no longer concerned her. It was better or worse, it was his own life, she did not care.
”Oh, really?” Since he didn't care, Qi Qi didn't ask anymore, and just casually dealt with it.
”If I'm not mistaken, he probably heard that I have a good relationship with He Yao, and he doesn't know who I am. He must be trying to find me through He Yao.”
Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi was a little interested.
She turned her head to the side and looked at Mu Chen. This fellow was too … For a moment, Qi Qi Qi couldn't find the right words to describe the man in front of her. Since he understood Fang Zhijun's purpose so clearly, he actually acted as if nothing had happened in front of Mei Hong and the rest. If Mei Hong were to know that the person whom she had entrusted so much to find was standing right in front of her, she would definitely regret it.
This person was really suitable to be a spy. If she made an enemy out of him, she probably wouldn't even know how she died. Fortunately, they were now in a cooperative relationship and not an enemy.
”Why are you looking at me like that? Am I that scary?” Mu Chen looked at Qi Seventh with a smile.
”I was wondering, what exactly do you look like? Is the one with the glib tongue and sloppy manner you are, or the one with the shrewd and scheming mind who counts as having nothing left out? ”
”All kinds of people are my fault. I thought you knew that people are diverse.” Mu Chen raised his eyebrows with a gentle smile on his face.
Qi Qi couldn't see through the man, so she turned her head away. Whatever he said now, she would instinctively think a few times. Even so, she wasn't sure if she could really understand his words.
