"What do you know?" Chen Siyuan finally found her voice. She knew in her heart that this man was not only dangerous, but also terrifying.
Despite being in the capital, this person is so knowledgeable about the things around him, even after yesterday's blood test, he can still see the key points.
“I know that the enemy who killed your mother is in the capital. You used the blood test to get away with it, but don’t forget that your maternal grandfather is from the Wen family. It’s only a matter of time before they find you. If I’m not mistaken, the people from the Western Depot know about you because of this.”
He wasn't sure if the woman in front of him knew about the existence of the Western Depot, but since she wanted to go to the capital, she must have been inquiring about some information and should know about the Western Depot.
Chen Siyuan's face turned pale instantly. Looking at the man in front of her, she seemed to be frightened and took a slight step back. Could this person be spying on her?
Otherwise, how would he know so many secrets about himself?
Qiao Yuchen noticed that he slightly suppressed his cold aura.
“In the south of the city, it’s the Tao family’s territory. But in the capital, even a three-year-old knows the Qiao family’s influence. Why would you choose to cooperate with a good-for-nothing like Tao Yifan?” He didn’t know why he was so angry. It was as if a wolf had its eye on his things, and he was very unhappy.
What he couldn't accept at that moment was that while he was busy with the Qiao family's affairs in the capital, this woman had actually gotten together with another man.
The thought that this woman had another man in her heart made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Girl, with me here, even if you cause a huge uproar in the capital, I'll protect you."
"Hehe, think about it, the Tao family is such a mess, if you cooperate with them, you'll have to deal with too many people."
"Qiao Yuchen, you sent someone to follow me?" Chen Siyuan felt no gratitude, only anger.
"It's not tracking, it's protection."
"you......"
Qiao Yuchen raised a slight smile and said, "Girl, you're too heartless."
"Did we ever have feelings for each other?"
"You've looked at me, you've touched me, don't you want to take responsibility?"
Chen Siyuan's face turned even paler. She had a breath stuck in her throat and couldn't swallow it, almost suffocating herself.
Qiao Yuchen, the one who started this, actually kindly tried to appease her, saying, "Is it really that big of a deal? I, the one who was seen naked, wasn't even this agitated. But you, it took you so long to react like this. Isn't that way too late?"
"You know, I was saving someone."
"Therefore, in order to repay your kindness, I am willing to dedicate my life to you."
"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want?" Chen Siyuan was almost driven mad with anger. She finally regained her senses and looked at the man in front of her. There was not much sincerity in his eyes, and he knew so much about her affairs. He was just using her.
To put it bluntly, he's the same as Tao Yifan; he just lacks a partner.
"Well, it's nothing much, we just need a partner. After thinking about it, I think your energetic personality is quite suitable."
Another partner
She didn't really trust this person.
This is simply because this person had a terrible past life and was not on the same level as Tao Yifan.
"Actually, working with me will make things much easier for you."
Chen Siyuan gave her a look, "What do you mean?"
"The old emperor intends to marry his daughter to me, making me his son-in-law."
Chen Siyuan looked at the man and instantly understood what was going on. She deliberately tested him, saying, "Your Qiao family has indeed achieved great merit and overshadowed the emperor."
"She truly is the woman I admire."
Chen Siyuan pursed her lips. What she didn't say was that even if the old emperor had this intention, his health was failing, and how long could he control the situation? Besides, with the new emperor on the throne, it wouldn't be so quick for others to take action.
This must be because he was famous as the Ghost-Faced General in his previous life.
The new emperor has too many things to do. It would be unwise to rashly take action against the general. Once the situation is stable, he will not be able to escape the same fate.
But at that time, Qiao Yuchen was not simply a child that the Qiao family had no choice but to find outside.
He's a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Why--
His achievements overshadowed those of his master!
"So, you can cooperate with me and do whatever you want, preferably some irrational things, so that I'll be safe."
"That seems to be the case?" Anyone can cause damage.
But is it really that simple?
Cooperating with Tao Yifan at least means you won't get beheaded, but cooperating with this guy means putting your head in someone else's hands, and you could be moved at any time.
“It would actually be quite good if you married a princess,” Chen Siyuan suddenly blurted out.
Qiao Yuchen chuckled coldly, staring intently at the woman. "Heh, if I had agreed back then, perhaps I wouldn't have been poisoned."
Chen Siyuan was startled.
Could it be what she's thinking?
"Luckily I met you, otherwise I would be dead." Qiao Yuchen's slender fingers brushed his chin as he stared at the woman, a glint of something special flashing in his eyes.
"To repay your life-saving grace, I have decided to offer myself to you."
"Which of your statements is true?" This direct question clearly indicates disbelief in the man's words.
"My feelings for you have always been genuine."
"Which of your statements is false?"
This statement is even more direct.
In both of her lives, Chen Siyuan had never seen such a shameless person. No wonder the new emperor hadn't managed to bring down Qiao Yuchen when he ascended the throne.
Sure enough, this ability is something only others can possess. More importantly, this person is thick-skinned and shameless, readily resorting to tricks. It would be truly unfair if such a person didn't succeed.
Seeing that the woman had stopped being hostile towards him, Qiao Yuchen knew it was about time, so he took a pendant out of his neck.
"Do you recognize this?" Qiao Yuchen suddenly became serious.
The pendant's design is the same; the key difference lies in the material inside.
Chen Siyuan recognized it at a glance; it was amber, the same material her mother had left her.
"You should have something similar too?"
"How did you know?" Chen Siyuan began to stammer.
“This was given to me by a benefactor when I was at my lowest point.” Qiao Yuchen said, carefully putting it away. “That time I met you, I became interested in investigating your background. And what I found out was that you were connected to the Wen family of Beicheng.”
Chen Siyuan fell silent. This person was quite capable; just because she had saved him once, so much trouble had arisen.
Now, Chen Siyuan doesn't know if it's because of the amber incident, but her admiration for this person is no longer as strong as before.
Why did you come to me?
"Because you are her daughter, because she saved my life." A smile appeared on Qiao Yuchen's lips. From the girl's expression, he knew that his benefactor had helped him again.
“Okay, I’ll go to the capital with you.” This time, Chen Siyuan was truly determined, unlike when she was threatened before leaving.
