Two people who suspect and are angry with each other are facing each other.
The air around them seemed to freeze; apart from the sound of each other breathing, everything fell silent.
Wang Shuo couldn't help but shudder.
He cleared his throat to break the silence, then asked, "So who intercepted that hacking attempt?"
Qianchuan stared intently at Chuanliu until the girl laughed.
Considering Qian Chuan's reaction and Susan's hesitant manner, it would be too slow for Chuan Liu not to sense Qian Chuan's suspicion.
"Hehe, Brother Qian Liu doesn't think it was me, does he?"
Chuanliu asked with a forced smile.
The latter raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "That's exactly what I mean."
Chuanliu scoffed, "I have to help Susan stall Jiulong to make her actions easier, and I also have to keep Jiulong from suspecting anything. Do you think I have time to move another living person?"
Susan looked at Qian Chuan with a troubled expression. To be honest, she also thought Qian Chuan's guess was a bit far-fetched.
Putting aside the method of the "crime," Chuanliu had no "criminal" motive whatsoever.
If Chuanliu has moved away from the hacker, would she still be interested in taking the seat of "Red Hearts 9"?
This doesn't seem to make sense.
In fact, Qian Chuan had no evidence, but when Susan told him the whole story, his first reaction was that the person who took the hacker away was Chuan Liu.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chuanliu smiled again, "If I have already achieved my so-called 'goal,' why should I get involved in your mess with Jiulong?"
Chuanliu's words were reasonable and well-founded, almost dispelling the doubts of everyone present.
Qian Chuan lowered his eyes, his fingers tapping unconsciously on his leg, as if he were pondering the various possibilities.
After a moment of silence, Qian Chuan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, "We must keep a close eye on Jiulong's every move."
His voice was slightly hoarse, and the continuous busyness and running around over the past few days had left him looking tired, but he didn't mention his worries over the past few days.
Susan nodded slightly. Since neither Jiulong nor she had any trace of the hacker, as long as they kept an eye on Jiulong's movements, they would have a chance to find the person before him.
"And next..."
Susan's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the river.
Among them, Chuanliu is undoubtedly the most convenient person to track Jiulong's movements.
However, Chuanliu shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, "Why would I risk doing this?"
Susan was about to explain when Qian Chuan interrupted her, "Name your terms."
He knew her too well that she was driven by self-interest.
The latter gave a triumphant smile. "I want access to all materials of the First Yorozuya."
"Impossible." Qian Chuan refused without even thinking.
Chuanliu seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and with a regretful look on her face, she said, "In that case, there seems to be no need for us to continue our negotiations."
Qian Chuan's tapping fingers on the table suddenly stopped. He looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on Chuan Liu, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Tell me, what do you think Jiu Long would think if we revealed your identity to him?"
"Threatening me?" Chuanliu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qian Chuan smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly, "We don't know exactly how much information that hacker has. It doesn't seem worthwhile to spend such a high price for someone who may be worthless."
Qian Chuan paused for a moment, then said, "90,000 yuan is exactly Jiulong's net worth."
Chuanliu touched his nose, made a judgment in his mind, and said, "Deal."
Then, the flow skillfully weaves between Jiulong and Susan.
Jiulong was very satisfied with the news that "Xiao Ni" had successfully infiltrated the enemy, and his trust in "him" deepened even further. Chuan, however, citing that she hadn't yet fully gained Susan's complete trust, didn't reveal much valuable information to Jiulong.
The next day.
Is this really true?
After hearing "Little Ni's" report, Jiulong's expression became even more serious.
"I saw it clearly. Several groups of people secretly infiltrated Susan's house last night. They should be the same group that attacked the base before," Chuanliu described vividly.
Jiulong cursed under his breath, "I haven't even settled accounts with her yet, what is that woman trying to do now?"
Chuanliu said with concern, "If she only needs bodyguards to protect herself, she doesn't need so many people at all. I'm worried..."
"Hmph," Jiulong glanced at "Little Ni," "Are you worried she's trying to force her way into my red-light district?"
"Little Ni" said cautiously, "What if...she finds the person you're looking for..."
Jiulong's cold gaze shot straight at him, but the boy's words undoubtedly planted a thorn in his heart. Cao He had only given him two days left, but Zhuang Qiang and He Dadong had made no progress whatsoever.
The most likely explanation is that Susan took away the fox and has already obtained evidence. She is protecting the witness while protecting herself, planning to deliver a fatal blow to Jiulong when he is off guard.
Jiulong frowned, his speculation growing like a snowball, and he was almost certain of his judgment.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the panic in his heart, but his shrewd eyes darted left and right uncontrollably, as if searching for a feasible solution.
He made up his mind and said, "It's too late, Little Ni, you go to the City of Spades for me."
Now that things have come to this, Jiulong is already thinking about how to save his life.
"Okay, which lord of the City of Spades are you looking for?" Chuanliu asked, bowing his head.
Jiulong pondered for a moment, but instead of speaking immediately, he picked up the landline in the room and made a call.
"Hello? Yes, it's me... Yes... One million! Why don't you just rob me?... Sixty, that's the most I can give you... Okay, I'll send my men to pick you up as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Jiulong said to "Xiao Ni": "Go find Zhuge Wen and Zhuge Wu. They will bring all their men back with you."
Zhuge Hall: The head of the gang is Zhuge Wu, who has the "7 of Spades", and the second-in-command is Zhuge Wen, who has the "6 of Spades".
Chuanliu nodded, having reviewed the information about the two men in his mind.
Zhui Ming once said that Zhuge Hall was famous for its weapon, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, and hiring them once would cost much more than hiring Sun Qianfan's gang of thugs.
It seems that Jiulong has really made up his mind.
