Chapter 548 This little girl is pretty arrogant!
"..."
Shang Shiyan draped a woolen coat over her shoulders, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke in a low, husky voice:
"Disguise yourself too, and come with me."
"No need."
Pei Jinwu fastened her coat belt, walked up to the man, and fiddled with the buttons on his shirt. "Mr. Shang, I'm not even afraid of you, why would I be afraid of an old man?"
"This young lady is quite arrogant."
Shang Shiyan pursed his lips, pinched her beautiful chin with his fingertips, and said in a low, husky voice, "Alright, anyway, it's downstairs in the conglomerate building, you can contact me anytime if you need anything."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu looked up at Shang Shiyan and smirked, "Once I've sorted out all this mess and found my parents, I can finally give up and do nothing."
"Are you going to abandon the underground city?" Shang Shiyan pulled her outside.
"Isn't there still you?"
Pei Jinwu slowed her pace and smiled calmly, "Didn't Master Shang say he wanted to work for me?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan paused for a few seconds, raised an eyebrow and chuckled, teasingly saying, "I'll work for you for the rest of my life."
——
Leaving the clouds.
Pei Jinwu traveled to several more places before finally arriving at a crowded downtown area.
I hailed a taxi.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the coffee shop in the Shang's Building.
Less than ten minutes until the agreed time.
Pei Jinwu casually found a corner seat and sat down, comfortably ordering food on her iPad.
Milk tea, juice, and small desserts.
We ordered quite a lot.
After putting down her iPad, Pei Jinwu took out her phone and sent Lou Ying a photo.
Note: "Where are the people from the Hidden World Pavilion?"
Lou Ying sent screenshots of the chat history to Yinshige.
Ghost: "When my time is up and I don't see anyone, I'll leave."
After sending the message.
Pei Jinwu tossed her phone aside, picked up a golden fork, and leisurely savored the cake.
Hmm.
It tastes awful.
No wonder Shang Shiyan never brought her anything from this store.
Lou Ying then sent the screenshot to Hidden Pavilion: "What does this mean? Did you stand up our boss?"
at this time.
Inside the black sedan not far away.
Li Xiao wore a half-mask, his deep black eyes carefully scrutinizing the woman in the coffee shop.
Because of his frown, the scar under his eyebrows and eyes was particularly noticeable.
"The boss of the dungeon is actually a woman?" a subordinate asked cautiously. "Could there be any danger?"
"It's not that bad."
Li Xiao narrowed his dark eyes, a sinister glint flashing in them, and said in a low, cold voice, "We have leverage over the underground city; she wouldn't dare to play any tricks."
The underground city destroyed S Alliance's most important medical research institute.
I heard that the S Alliance members were inquiring about Ghost's whereabouts and said they would tear her to pieces and throw her to the wild beasts.
She even dared to arrange the meeting place right under Shang Shiyan's nose.
What do I have to be afraid of?
"yes."
Upon receiving the order, the subordinate immediately got out of the car and opened the door.
Li Xiao stepped out of the car, walked into the coffee shop, and stopped in front of Pei Jinwu.
"..."
Pei Jinwu raised her eyes and looked him up and down.
There is a scar at the corner of my eye.
It's confirmed that he is the master of the Hidden World Pavilion.
A few seconds later.
Pei Jinwu calmly withdrew her gaze and continued to leisurely eat.
"..."
Li Xiao took off his sunglasses and carefully examined the girl in front of him.
She looked to be only in her early twenties, an age when one should be innocent and carefree, yet she exuded a cold, aloof, and unapproachable air.
Arrogant, confident, yet indifferent.
He's definitely not an ordinary person.
"Hello," Li Xiao said, taking the initiative to speak.
"sit."
Pei Jinwu handed him the iPad and smiled faintly: "Order whatever you want to eat, it's on me."
"You're treating?"
This was the first time Li Xiao had ever met such an arrogant yet composed girl.
They actually dared to choose the location of their mortal enemy's building as the meeting place.
They calmly continued eating and drinking.
"certainly."
Pei Jinwu leaned back, raising an eyebrow slightly, "I've earned hundreds of billions from the Pavilion Master, so it's just a matter of buying something worth a few hundred dollars."
"..."
Li Xiao's throat tightened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Are you a ghost?"
"Doesn't look like it?"
Pei Jinwu's lips curled slightly, her fiery red lips making her look exceptionally dashing. "How was it? The fireworks display the other day was pretty good, wasn't it? A colorful black, I specially had my men do it."
"Oh."
Li Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
If there were still doubts before, the ghost has now presented a stand-in.
At this moment, it is completely certain.
The person before me is the leader of the dungeon—Ghost.
Such outstanding temperament and carefree attitude cannot be faked without strong core support.
"I never expected the leader of the dungeon to be a woman."
Li Xiao casually placed the iPad aside, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and said unhurriedly.
"Is that so?"
Pei Jinwu tapped the table casually with her fingertips, staring at Li Xiao with cold eyes, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "I never expected that the master of the Hidden World Pavilion would be a man."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao froze on the spot.
He looked at the woman in front of him with new respect.
"Get to the point."
Pei Jinwu hated this kind of disgusting man and gave him a cold look. "Talk about cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"
“A medical study.” Li Xiao stared at her reaction, seemingly still holding back.
"You said before that you could make a lot of money. I want to know, how much?" Pei Jinwu didn't ask about the research; her focus was entirely on the money.
"a lot of."
Li Xiao hadn't expected her to be so direct. He smiled and his weathered voice slowly rang out: "Once the research is successful, you can have as many as you want."
"Such a good thing could happen to me?"
Pei Jinwu picked up the melon seeds and peeled them one by one, calmly saying, "The Pavilion Master wouldn't be thinking of using someone else to do his dirty work, and then discarding them after they've served their purpose, would he?"
"..."
Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, surprised that this girl was quite clever.
That's exactly what he thought.
Since we've been seen through, it's not unreasonable to launch other plans.
In any case, the research for the "gene modification project" must be completed within a year.
No matter the cost.
"I guarantee you the money and the life of Alliance Leader S."
Li Xiao got down to business, his tone serious: "I want the Nine Nights Divine Physician, and the territory of the Northern Continent."
"Does the Pavilion Master like the Northern Continent so much?" Pei Jinwu asked with interest, resting his chin on his hand. "Who exactly is in the Northern Continent? Why are you so insistent on having it?"
"Miss Ghost is asking too many questions."
When this matter was mentioned, Li Xiao's expression immediately changed, becoming imposing: "It's just a cooperation, each getting what they need."
"nature."
Pei Jinwu shrugged casually, glanced at the time, and said, "I heard you want the Nine Nights Divine Physician?"
"That's right."
Li Xiao nodded, "The research has encountered some difficulties, and we need his assistance."
"Money makes things easier."
Pei Jinwu pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded, "Since we're going to cooperate, we should be honest with each other, right? Otherwise, how will I know if the Pavilion Master is plotting against me?"
She meant to take a look at the Hidden World Pavilion's research base.
"There will be opportunities." Li Xiao was also a cautious person.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Pei Jinwu glanced at the time, stood up, and walked out.
After taking two steps, it suddenly stopped.
Turning around, she hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Who is the man you had Doctor Jiuye save?"
——
There will be more updates.
