When Weng Xintian left the lighthouse, he took many good things with him, and perhaps Xin Diao needed some of them.
Furthermore, since Xia Chuhe has already decided to cooperate with the Xintian Gang, if Weng Xintian were to get into trouble now, it would only harm the cooperation between the two parties, and bring no benefit whatsoever.
Having figured these two points out, Xia Chuhe decided to temporarily slow Xin Diao down: "Boss, don't run so fast. What you need might be right on your shoulders!"
Xin Diao, having worked with Xia Chuhe many times, was reluctant to believe her words. So she slowed down and asked Weng Xintian with some skepticism, "Do you have something that can make the two of you one?"
"No." After answering, Weng Xintian felt a sudden jolt in his stomach, and his body swayed even more. He quickly corrected himself: "But, Wuying, he, is, lying to you."
Xin Diao didn't slow down, and said fiercely, "Liars, you're all liars!"
Despite his discomfort, Weng Xintian explained, "The things are with my eldest sister. Wuying is just a bachelor."
Xin Diao was afraid of making a wasted trip and endangering Diao Jie's life, so she slowed down again.
Xin Diao slowed down twice, and Xia Chuhe and Lu Danggui finally caught up.
Xia Chuhe, panting, said, "I can testify that the real boss of Lighthouse is in the trading market. We can go see her together."
Xin Diao glanced at Diao Jie, stopped, and looked intently into Xia Chuhe's eyes: "She trusts you a lot, and she's dying. Would you lie to her with others?"
"I promise I won't lie to her. If the item isn't with the Xintian Gang, I'll immediately twist off Weng Xintian's head and travel day and night to find Wuying with you."
Xin Diao released the pressure on her hands: "Okay."
Without warning, Weng Xintian was thrown to the ground, his mouth full of sand, and he was on the verge of tears: "You guys are all so kind! One entrusted me with your trust, and the other never let me down. The only one who got hurt is me! The only one whose head was twisted is me! That damned big-faced son of yours, why did you use my head to do me a favor!"
However, Weng Xintian managed to save his life, and the item was indeed in Changsheng's hands.
“I can give it to you, but…” Changsheng and Xia Chuhe made a condition, “The chef in your team cooks very well, so ask her to leave some recipes.”
“She’s not a chef, her name is Li Yue,” Xia Chuhe said seriously. “If you want her recipes, you need to get her permission, not mine.”
Changsheng tilted his head: "Is there a difference?"
"Yes, the recipes belong to her, not mine." Xia Chuhe originally wanted to leave some recipes for pre-cooked dishes for the Cape Trading Center before leaving, since she accounted for 40% of the Cape Trading Center's revenue from poultry.
However, since Changsheng sees the recipes as a separate business, she might as well go along with it. But what she said just now was all true.
Chang Sheng still didn't understand Xia Chuhe's meaning. Having been the eldest sister for so long, she was used to placing herself in a position of power and decision-making. In addition, Weng Xintian and Wuying, among others, all obeyed her without question, so everyone in the organization was Chang Sheng's person, and everything in the organization was Chang Sheng's thing.
Chang Shengli naturally equated the situation of Xia Chuhe and others with that of Xintianbang and Dengta.
Although he didn't understand Xia Chuhe's meaning, Changsheng still personally approached Li Yue, proposed learning the recipes, and promised to exchange them for something that could save Xin Diao and Diao Jie.
Li Yue was initially hesitant, but when she heard that it was to save Boss Xin, her eyes immediately lit up.
Li Yue never told anyone that she was a big fan of Boss Xin.
Her superpower is too useless; it's only good for pleasing others and being used by them. If only she had a powerful ability to kill.
Ever since she heard about the dangers of the animal world and the only survivor, Boss Xin, Li Yue has longed to be like Boss Xin, wanting to become a strong and fearless person like her...
Li Yue always believed that as long as she became as powerful as Boss Xin, she would no longer be at the mercy of those above her.
That's why she specifically mentioned Xin Diao to Xia Chuhe, and after seeing Xin Diao, she went on a spree of serving Xia Chuhe and the others her signature dishes, and even wanted to get her hair cut in the style of Xin Diao...
Now that she can use her weak abilities to save the person she considers incredibly powerful, the word "willing" almost slips out of her mouth.
Before she could speak, Li Yue realized something was wrong—why was Changsheng looking for her instead of Xia? Did Xia disagree? Or did he have other considerations?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Yue felt a little panicked, fearing that she might not be able to save Xin Diao.
"What did Captain Xia say?" Li Yue asked.
Changsheng tilted his head: "She told me to ask you. She said the recipe is yours and she has no right to dispose of it."
The panic dissipated, and Li Yue smiled, "I'm willing, I'm willing to exchange with you."
So this is what it feels like to be respected, this is what it feels like to have autonomy, this is... something a canary can never have.
Li Yue edited a detailed recipe for roast duck and sauce and sent it to Changsheng.
"I have more than twenty recipes for cooking chicken, duck, pigeon, and eggs. It will take some time to edit each one. Can you help me save Xin Da and Diao first?"
Changsheng asked a quip: "Her name is Xin Diao? What a cute name."
“No…” Li Yue waved her hand, leaving an afterimage.
Chang Sheng didn't give her a chance to explain, readily agreed, and turned to leave: "I'm going to deliver something to Xin Diao now. You can write the recipe slowly."
Li Yue hurriedly picked out the important words: "I'll go to the kitchen at seven o'clock tomorrow. Remember to have your people come and check."
When it comes to cooking, watching someone cook in person is far more effective than looking at a recipe. While cooking, Li Yue can also explain the key points to those learning, as many dishes are interconnected. This way, even if others can't achieve the same precision as her, the food won't taste too bad.
Chang Sheng didn't turn around, but raised his hand and gave an OK sign.
...
In the reception hall of the Xintian Gang, Xin Diao, Xia Chuhe, and Weng Xintian all had serious expressions. The henchmen were so intimidated that they dared not speak loudly and walked on tiptoe.
Xin Diao thought to herself, "Sister Diao is dead, and I'm next."
Xia Chuhe wondered if Li Yue was unwilling, could Changsheng perhaps be interested in pre-cooked meals?
Weng Xintian was thinking, "Will I be able to save my head?"
Fortunately, Changsheng brought good news that made all three of them relax at the same time.
Changsheng took out two broken mirrors and handed them to Xin Diao: "Big Eagle, are you sure you want to use these mirrors? If you do, you'll never be able to separate them again."
Changsheng muttered incoherently, "This thing can't be used carelessly. There was a woman surnamed Guan who tried to buy it from me for a high price, but I refused. You have no idea how heartless she is. She fell in love with a man and insisted on being with him for all eternity..."
The impolite Xin Diao had absolutely no patience to listen to Chang Sheng's rambling nonsense. Xin Diao placed one mirror in Diao Jie's hand and the other in her own.
As the two mirrors drew closer and merged, Diao Jie and Xin Diao also slowly approached each other, gradually becoming one like a double image on a low-quality screen...
