Chapter 365 Back to Reality (16) - Negotiating with Si Chen

According to Li Dong, the Soya aliens' observation period for Blue Star was 10 years, and 5 years have already passed. Perhaps they will take over ahead of schedule.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu's heart sank slightly.

Ning Shu chuckled: "What you can give, can't Si Zhong give me? That's not a reason for you to frame me."

Si Chen stared at Ning Shu expressionlessly. The room remained silent for a long while before he suddenly let out a sneer.

"I didn't want to say such harsh things, but since you insist, I'll do as you wish."

The real reason is that I don't want my brother to have anything to do with humans. How could you lowly creatures be worthy of us?

"Forget about Ah Zhong's identity, even if you were with an ordinary Soya alien, it would be a bargain for you."

Holy crap, that's really awful!

Even when Si Zhong was at his most annoying in the game, he never said anything like that.

Although Ning Shu was angry, she understood Si Chen's thoughts.

In Si Chen's eyes, being with Si Zhong was no different from being with a paramecium.

"Hmph," Ning Shu turned her head and glared angrily at Si Chen.

For some reason, when Si Chen saw Ning Shu's expression, his fingers, which were resting on his crossed legs, twitched inexplicably.

Ning Shu quickly turned her head away from Si Chen. She knew he wasn't telling the truth; it was just an excuse. The reason he didn't want Si Zhong to get involved with humans was probably because he was worried it would affect his taking over Blue Star.

In his heart, could he really have such a big influence on Si Zhong?

Having spent so much time with Si Zhong, she had never noticed that he would be so clueless about such a "big deal." Perhaps Si Zhong was just taking precautions.

She couldn't let him know that she had regained her memory. Perhaps she should agree to his condition and go find her parents first?

After reuniting with my parents, I'll consider things regarding Li Dong.

She is also human, and naturally she doesn't want her home to be occupied by aliens, whether they are from the Loy aliens or the Soya aliens.

"Even if I'm willing to leave him, how can you guarantee he'll let me go? You surely know how we met, don't you?"

Si Chen knew this, of course. Ever since he heard that Si Zhong had brought a woman back to the manor, he had sent people to investigate.

Upon hearing that it was a human, his heart sank. If Si Zhong was just playing around, he wouldn't care, but he was afraid that the other party would take it to heart.

At this critical juncture, how could he not care?

He immediately retrieved the game data and read through Si Zhong and Ning Shu's past, only to find that it was actually Si Zhong who had forced Ning Shu, leaving him speechless.

His younger brother usually had no interest in women, but once he got it, he was even crazier than his brother.

That's why he was worried, and that's why he set this up.

Si Chen: "It doesn't matter whether he's willing or not. As long as you break up with him, I'll handle the rest."

You really are a good older brother to Si Zhong; it's a wonder he likes you so much.

Ning Shu was speechless, rolling her eyes so hard they almost reached the ceiling.

She felt that whether she told Si Zhong or not, it would be difficult for her to leave this place smoothly.

Suddenly, she thought of a solution: "I can talk to him, but first, you have to let me go out and take care of my business before I can talk to him."

She needs to use Si Chen's resources to find her parents; only by keeping them hooked will she have a chance to leave.

Si Chen frowned, seemingly wary of her move: "Do my request first, and after you leave, you can go wherever you want."

Ning Shu: "Do I look stupid?"

Si Chen: "..."

He was worried precisely because she wasn't stupid. He had seen her performance in the game; although she wasn't exceptionally intelligent, she was still quite outstanding.

What I worry about most is that the other party will surprise me unexpectedly.

Si Chen: "Are you worried I'll break the contract?"

Ning Shu laughed, as if she had heard something out of the blue: "Shouldn't I be worried?"

He's capable of framing someone, how can you expect him to keep his promise? She must be incredibly naive.

Ning Shu felt that the two brothers were both incredibly wicked. She wondered what sins she had committed in her past life to have met these two bastards.

Si Chen remained silent, looking at Ning Shu's profile. He suddenly realized how strange she was; she seemed quite at ease being stared at so openly and undisguisedly by a man.

She has been lying down ever since he entered the room, showing no intention of sitting up.

First, it was naturally meant to belittle him; second, it was because he was a bit too arrogant.

No normal person would want to lie down and face danger, because if the other party makes even the slightest move to harm them, lying down would make it much harder to escape.

But she lacked this awareness, which was inconsistent with her identity as a "player".

Ning Shu had no idea about the complicated thoughts in Si Chen's mind; she was simply lazy.

Why would someone who's been imprisoned think so much? They're just meat on a chopping block anyway, at anyone's mercy.

Si Chen remained silent for quite a while, which puzzled Ning Shu. Could he possibly fall asleep while sitting?

No, if that's the case, isn't he being incredibly rude?

Ning Shu couldn't help but turn her head to look at Si Chen again, only to find that he was staring straight at her, a look that made her feel uneasy.

Could he... be planning to kill me to silence me?

Actually, she could be "not worried".

When Si Chen saw her looking at him, he realized he had lost his composure. How could he be thinking about such nonsense at a time like this?

"I promise you, you can go and take care of your business first, but I must send someone to accompany you."

Ning Shu felt that this answer was within her expectations; at least it allowed her to leave.

"make a deal."

Ning Shu also knew when to stop. Her request wasn't unreasonable, but if they continued talking, she was afraid this scoundrel would go back on his word.

We shouldn't have too many expectations of him.

Ning Shu still asked, "Where exactly did Si Zhong go?"

Si Chen's expression, which had seemed somewhat unnatural just moments before, had now turned cold, and his tone was also rather unpleasant:

“That’s none of your business. I’m only giving you three days. Whether things go well or not, you have to come back.”

Therefore, Si Zhong should have been away on business for 3 days. That bastard must have deliberately sent him away.

If even a stubborn guy like Si Zhong could be persuaded to leave at this time, then either the matter is very important, or the matter is related to her.

Sure enough, strike the snake at its vital point.

Ning Shu glanced at him: "How long have I been asleep?"

Si Chen glanced at her: "One day."

So long? Is that normal?

Ning Shu inexplicably felt that Si Chen might have done something to her, but she wasn't sure, since she didn't need to sleep for so long when she was struck by Lei Tao.

However, there may be differences between games and reality.

Ning Shu: "I don't have much time left, I need to leave now."

Si Chen readily agreed: "Sure, I'll have someone follow you. Just tell her where you want to go, and she'll arrange everything."

Ning Shu never expected that the person Si Chen arranged would be Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan is actually one of Si Chen's people. He's really cunning.
