Chapter 289 Negotiation Failed

He made no mention of the fact that he had asked so many detailed questions in order to please the original owner of the body.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei paid no attention to the playful banter between the young couple and had already roughly estimated her birth date and time.

Then, making an excuse, he left first.

As soon as he got on the bus, he quickly sent Jiang Ran's birth date and time to that person, and soon after, that person called him.

Are you sure this birth date and time are accurate?

"Hmm," Bai Zhuwei replied in a deep voice.

The person behind the scenes suddenly turned cold, a hint of displeasure flashing across their face. In a low, cold voice, they replied, "I didn't expect things to become so complicated. Her two children are actually destined for the Dragon and Tiger."

"A destiny of dragon and tiger?" Bai Zhuwei asked, a look of confusion crossing her face.

She knows nothing about metaphysics; she just does whatever the person behind the scenes tells her to do.

Judging from his tone, this fate might not be a good sign for them.

"Jiang Ran's birth chart indicates an extremely strong destiny, which also contains another deeper meaning. According to her destiny, she will have twins, one born in the year of the dragon and the other in the year of the tiger."

"There are three kinds of supernatural arts in this world. The most common ones are the divination of good and bad fortune by metaphysicians, and the feng shui and yin and yang. The next level is divination of astrology and the divination of human fate. The last one is the ability to predict a person's life and death, and to a certain extent, to distort a person's fortune."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's face flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected that metaphysics was so widespread. She then exclaimed in astonishment, "Isn't that the path to becoming an immortal?"

Upon hearing this, the person behind the scenes lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of irritation flashing across his face, and replied coldly, "That's not quite it. He's just what people call a 'living god'."

"Those who study the third kind of metaphysics will never reach that level, but those who have the destiny of the dragon and tiger are different. Their innate destiny means that once they get involved in this field, it's like being enlightened. Even if they don't delve into metaphysics, they will still be very wealthy and noble. With the Azure Dragon and White Tiger as their protectors, they cannot be easily harmed."

The person behind the scenes never expected to encounter such a thorny issue. What could usually be resolved with a few words now required them to speak up and explain.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's face immediately showed disbelief. She never expected that those two seemingly arrogant brats would have such a background.

Thinking of this, my hatred for Jiang Ran only intensified. How could she have all the advantages of timing, location, and people? How could the world be so unfair!

"What should we do now?" Bai Zhuwei frowned slightly and quickly asked.

The person on the other end spoke in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered a few words before giving instructions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's face flashed with surprise: "Go find him? Is that even possible?"

The person behind the scenes narrowed his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice, "Solve it yourself."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Zhuwei's reply.

Bai Zhuwei frowned slightly as she listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face.

Although the two were in the same boat, he was making arrangements behind the scenes while she had to figure out how to handle things on the front lines, which made her feel indignant.

But he still had to do as he was told, so he turned the car around and drove to the detention center.

Ever since Old Master Si made a special trip to instruct him to take care of Si Jiliang, he has become the focus of attention here. Hearing that someone wanted to meet him, he was immediately surprised.

Especially after seeing that the person who came was the plaintiff, he was even more surprised and quickly informed Old Master Si.

Then he led Bai Zhuwei into a private room, and after waiting for a while, Si Jiliang finally arrived.

His demeanor was calm and composed, showing no signs of being imprisoned or under control.

Upon seeing that the person who had come was Bai Zhuwei, Si Jiliang's eyes suddenly sharpened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to leave.

The people around her didn't stop her, but seeing this, Bai Zhuwei quickly spoke up to stop them: "Wait!"

Si Jiliang paused slightly, then replied coldly, "I have nothing to say to you."

There was also a hint of disdain in his words.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei's gaze darkened slightly, and she slowly replied, "You have nothing to say about Jiang Ran either?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ran's name, Si Jiliang pursed his thin lips, hesitated for a moment, then turned and slowly walked closer.

Seeing that he had given in, Bai Zhuwei smiled slightly and gestured, "Sit down."

Si Jiliang glanced to the side, a look of disdain flashing across her face, before sitting down in the seat furthest away from her.

Bai Zhuwei didn't seem to care at all. She sat down and said in a deep voice, "I know you're upset that I sent you here, but I have my reasons, don't I?"

Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at her with displeasure and then sneered, "An unspeakable secret? I think you're quite adept at maliciously framing others."

Bai Zhuwei listened to his sarcasm, a faint smile on her face, and replied softly, "But I'm just stating the facts. Since this has happened, we can't let the real culprit get away with it."

Si Jiliang's face darkened as he listened to her impeccable words and her continued distortion of the truth. He glanced at the surveillance camera and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He then sneered, "After meeting you, I finally understand what shamelessness truly means!"

"Tell me, what kind of disguise would a woman like you have to put on six years ago to hide her wicked thoughts?"

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Bai Zhuwei, his eyes filled with scrutiny and utter sarcasm.

Hearing his reprimand, Bai Zhuwei's expression changed drastically, but she did not get angry. She slowly opened her mouth and replied in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about that."

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the disgust on Si Jiliang's face was clearly visible. Bai Zhuwei took the opportunity to speak, saying, "You don't come here without a reason. I came here specifically to have a good talk with you."

"What are we talking about?" A sinister glint flashed between Si Jiliang's brows as he coldly retorted, "When will Si Yanxiao finally see through your true colors?"

He was always cold and sarcastic, but he only restrained himself slightly in front of Jiang Ran. Now that he saw someone he disliked, he naturally wouldn't give her any face.

Bai Zhuwei felt a surge of displeasure upon hearing the sarcasm in his words, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she suppressed her anger, pretended not to hear, and spoke up.

“I know you have special feelings for Jiang Ran. Since that’s the case, why don’t we each get what we need? After it’s done, Ayan will be mine and Jiang Ran will be yours. Wouldn’t that be perfect?”

Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang's lips curled into a slight, disdainful laugh: "Have you forgotten why I came in?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei was initially taken aback, but then immediately understood his implied meaning. He had come in because he was angry and maliciously framed someone, but the cause of his anger was a disagreement in negotiations.

Before he could finish his thought and speak, Si Jiliangfu spoke again, mockingly saying, "I thought you were just vicious, but I didn't expect you to be so brainless."

His tone was indifferent, but the sarcasm was palpable.

Bai Zhuwei's expression immediately turned ugly, but she still replied coldly, "Things are different now. Maybe you'll change your mind?"

"If you agree to cooperate..."

As she spoke, she paused slightly, looked up at the guard standing outside the door, and said softly, "I will withdraw the charges immediately, and you won't have to be trapped here anymore."

"Are you threatening me?" Si Jiliang asked slowly, rubbing the tip of his index finger as if he were doing so.

"Of course not," Bai Zhuwei quickly denied. "I was discussing with you to try and achieve a win-win situation."

"Win-win?" Si Jiliang scoffed coldly upon hearing this, a look of disdain flashing across his face.

“I have two types of people I don’t cooperate with: a petty person and a fool. Unfortunately, you have both.”

"so……"

Before he finished speaking, his attitude was already very clear.

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Bai Zhuwei felt a surge of anger rising within her. She raised her eyes sharply and looked at Si Jiliang, coldly rebuking him: "You!"

Before she could finish speaking, Si Jiliang, with a mocking expression, ignored her expression and stood up. He then spoke coldly again, "By the way, I don't feel uncomfortable here at all; on the contrary, it's very peaceful."

"What kind of skill is it to maliciously frame someone? If you're so capable, then you can cover up everything and make it impossible for me to stay in there."

Having said that, he suddenly let out a cold sneer and turned to leave.

Bai Zhuwei stared intently at his departing figure. Seeing that the guards were still extremely respectful to him, a shadow of gloom flashed across her brows, her expression furrowing and displeasure evident.
