Cao Mingheng was at a loss at the moment, and when he heard Peng Qing say he had an idea, he immediately asked him to speak.
"I've shown you such a confidential contract. I definitely trust you, brother."
Cao Mingheng himself did not believe what he said, but Peng Qing did not doubt him.
"I'm thinking, Brother Cao, you can make a few copies of this contract and use the copies to threaten Lu Chunmin. As for the original, it's best to find someone you trust to keep it."
"This person should not be related to you, but you should be trustworthy enough to avoid arousing Lu Chunmin's suspicion."
Peng Qing was pretending to analyze, and Cao Mingheng fell into deep thought as he followed his analysis.
He has a bad temper and has few friends around him.
No one can stand his temper, especially after his father's accident.
Those few cronies are not reliable at all. If the original contract is given to them for safekeeping, they might sell it out in a minute.
Cao Mingheng couldn't help but look at Peng Qing who was not far from him.
Although Peng Qing had not known him for a long time, he was very caring and respectful to him when he was at his lowest point.
Every time Cao Mingheng saw Peng Qing looking at him with admiration, he felt very happy.
Although this idea was proposed by Peng Qing, it was indeed based on his perspective and for his own benefit.
Cao Mingheng had thought about this possibility before, but he had never thought of it so thoroughly.
Now, after Peng Qing's reminder, he has been thinking about this matter seriously.
Peng Qing just drank and ate, as if he didn't notice Cao Mingheng's hesitation.
He was still as innocent as before, his heart and eyes filled with Cao Mingheng.
Cao Mingheng gritted his teeth and suddenly made up his mind.
"Peng Qing, are you willing to help me keep the original contract?"
After asking this question, Cao Mingheng stared at Peng Qing's eyes, watching his every move.
Once Peng Qing said something wrong, Cao Mingheng would change his mind temporarily.
"Ah? Me?"
Peng Qing's eyes suddenly widened and he said with a terrified look.
Of course Peng Qing saw the inquiry in Cao Mingheng's eyes, but who was he? He was the observant Peng Qing.
This little thing was not difficult for him. Cao Mingheng wanted to see his reaction, so he let him see enough.
Peng Qing quickly waved his hands and refused hastily.
"I know that Brother Cao trusts me by letting me keep the original contract, but I am also afraid that keeping it will bring me death."
"Lu Chunmin is such a scary person, and he likes to make a fuss. If I offend him, I will definitely suffer the consequences."
Peng Qing pretended to be very scared and shivered.
His neck was shrunk into a ball, and he looked shorter.
Peng Qing refused quickly and harshly, showing no interest in this matter at all.
The more he acted like this, the more Cao Mingheng wanted him to keep it.
Only those who have no desires are the most suitable people to keep the original contract.
"Peng Qing, to be honest, I don't trust anyone else except you."
"You are the only one who can help me with this matter. If even you won't help, I won't be able to find anyone else."
"If you are unwilling to help me, then you can only watch me die. We are friends. We have only known each other for a short time. It is rare that we can talk to each other like this. This friendship must last forever!"
Cao Mingheng used his eloquence to speak the most beautiful words he had ever learned in his life.
Peng Qing poured himself a glass of beer and drank it all in one gulp.
He lowered his head and hesitated, wavering between agreeing and not agreeing.
Seeing him like this, Cao Mingheng knew there was hope, and he immediately kept persuading him.
"Peng Qing, please help me. When I get money from Lu Chunmin, I will treat you to dinner every day."
"You and I have the best relationship, so you definitely don't want me to suffer, right?"
Cao Mingheng continued to talk a lot. Peng Qing's brows were tightly furrowed, but his expression seemed a little relaxed.
"But if Lu Chunmin knew that the original contract was in my hands, he would definitely send someone to snatch it."
"Look at my weak arms and legs. How can I beat him? I won't even know how I died."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is too dangerous. While considering our friendship, I also have to consider myself."
Peng Qing explained a lot, and Cao Mingheng waved his hand and spoke directly and confidently.
"If you don't tell me about this, no one else will know about it."
"What if you tell your mother when you go back, or tell someone else about it, then I will be in trouble, right?"
Although Cao Mingheng repeatedly assured him, Peng Qing always came up with many excuses.
"For your safety, I won't even tell my mother about this!"
Cao Mingheng was almost about to swear to the sky. Peng Qing saw that the time was almost right, bit his lower lip, thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Brother Cao, I really regard you as a friend and a big brother, so I am willing to help you. Please don't cheat me!"
Peng Qing was still a little worried before agreeing. Cao Mingheng was smiling like a cigarette box, so there was no way he would say anything against it at this time.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I won't betray you. As long as you help me keep the original contract, we can enjoy delicious food and drink spicy food together every day!"
Cao Mingheng laughed so happily. The two of them finished their beer and ate the side dishes.
When it was time to part, Cao Mingheng still did not give the original contract to Peng Qing.
Peng Qing hinted several times but it was useless. Finally, he could no longer hold back and had to speak out.
"Brother Cao, it's dangerous for you to go back home so late at night. Maybe Lu Chunmin's men will ambush at your door and take your original contract. You won't be able to complain then."
Peng Qing's words were a bit alarmist, but Cao Mingheng believed them immediately.
He quickly covered his pockets tightly and looked around vigilantly.
"Peng Qing, why don't you just take me home?"
Peng Qing actually wanted Cao Mingheng to hand over the original contract right now.
However, Cao Mingheng was very cautious and refused to hand over the original contract until he got a copy.
Peng Qing tried several methods, but all failed.
In order to avoid being discovered by Cao Mingheng, Peng Qing had no choice but to personally send him home.
They walked very slowly along the way. When they were almost at the door of their home, Cao Mingheng held Peng Qing's arm and observed the surroundings for a long time.
After making sure there was no danger, he mustered up the courage to walk out of the darkness.
Peng Qing personally sent Cao Mingheng to the door of his home and watched him enter the house before turning around and leaving with a cold face.
After Cao Mingheng returned to the room, he stood near the window, staring at Peng Qing's back as he left.
In fact, he did not trust Peng Qing 100%, and the words he said before were all testing him.
When he found out that Peng Qing had been refusing and was unwilling to take on this task, he completely let down his guard.
