"What do I want?" Ai Yu frowned slightly, lost in a brief moment of contemplation. After a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly, "I just hope to meet Teacher Li's expectations of me."
Jian Kaiheng would never believe such nonsense. He glared at Ai Yu and asked, "Are you planning to rescue her on your own?"
Ai Yu calmly picked up the cup and gently shook it to remove any remaining water droplets. Then he said slowly, "Why bother rescuing her? Wouldn't it be better to let her find a chance to escape on her own? She only needs to stay in there for four or five days, and then walk out safely. Everything will seem to fall into place naturally."
After completing this series of actions, Ai Yu placed the cup firmly on the table and wiped her hands with a towel. Then, she raised her head, looked directly at Jian Kaiheng, and said, "You should be well aware of the current situation. So, is it my turn to negotiate with the angel next?"
Jian Kaiheng didn't know whether he was angry or justified, he actually laughed: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Exploiting each other, this is the way of the world now."
Ai Yu shook his head slightly: "It's not all about mutual exploitation."
Of course, Jian Kaiheng couldn't understand such words.
"Then let's get straight to the point. Tell me, what are your conditions?" Jian Kaiheng shrugged helplessly, then spread his hands openly. "Now that things have come to this, we really need to sit down and have a serious talk."
Ai Yu put his hands behind his back and said, "My conditions are very simple. I've laid all this out and sent myself in, just to exchange a chance for Lystra's prediction with you."
Jian Kaiheng clapped his hands. "I have to admit, this move of yours was quite brilliant. Not only did you peek into Qimen's secrets, but you also asked us to protect Li Yuzhen. However, since you're telling me the truth so frankly now, aren't you worried that I might go back on my word? After all, the contract with Li Yuzhen hasn't been signed yet."
"Businessmen have always been based on honesty, at least that's what outsiders think." Ai Yu casually pulled over a chair and sat down leisurely. "Besides, your Akaxilia would never do something that would damage her reputation and status—especially when the target is Li Yuzhen, right?
Taking a step back, the gap between Moon Envoys can be as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, Lord Cherubim?"
This is a threat, a naked threat.
Jian Kaiheng clenched his right hand tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Ai Yu, you're amazing."
This feeling of frustration of being unable to control the situation and being unable to turn the tide was the second time Jian Kaiheng had experienced it, and it was truly terrible.
He secretly cursed someone for being in love. Didn't he know that among ten thousand in love, only one would have a happy ending?
"Thank you for the compliment." Ai Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"Although my sister will definitely not go back on her word and cancel the contract, Angel is not a place where she has the final say. Therefore, I have to add a few additional clauses to make this matter more secure. Otherwise, there is no need for us to discuss Lystra's prophecy anymore." Jian Kaiheng looked at Ai Yu opposite him with a cold face, and then snorted.
The two just stared at each other, neither of them speaking first. After a while, Ai Yu finally couldn't help but take a step back and said, "Okay, tell me, what are the additional conditions?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Kaiheng crossed his fingers and placed them on his knees. He slowly said, "First, find a way to win over 000 to the Angels. Second, if you ever leave the Angels, you must never harm or kill anyone in the organization."
"Sure." Ai Yu answered without hesitation. His decisive attitude made Jian Kaiheng feel a little surprised.
He frowned slightly, coughed to hide his inner confusion, and then said, "Okay, in that case, I will draft the contract before leaving get off work today. But there is one thing I need to explain in advance. Lystra is currently receiving treatment in Hongguo. If you want to see him, you may need to take some time to go there in person."
After saying this, Jian Kaiheng looked at Ai Yu quietly, waiting for her reaction.
"Can."
Ai Yu's straightforward attitude always made Jian Kaiheng feel that Ai Yu was setting a trap again. However, thinking about the whole thing carefully now, Angel was not suffering any losses at the moment and was still making a profit overall.
"Ai Yu, how about we discuss a private transaction?" Jian Kaiheng suddenly blurted out this question, startling Ai Yu, who was about to turn around and leave. She stopped and asked in confusion, "What private transaction?"
Jian Kaiheng stared at Ai Yu, as if trying to see through her eyes to her inner thoughts. He said slowly, "To be honest, I'm personally very interested in what exactly is being researched behind Qimen."
Hearing this, Ai Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled and responded, "Oh? Then how much do you think this information is worth? Or, in other words, what kind of chips are you willing to put up to buy it?"
Her tone was rarely teasing and joking, and she didn't seem to take Jian Kaiheng's request seriously.
Jian Kaiheng leaned slightly closer to the back of the chair: "Ai Yu, I suspect someone has possessed you."
Ai Yu:?
"Have you read too many fantasy novels about formations? Although science isn't very common in this world these days, at least for now, things like possession won't happen." Ai Yu put his hands on his hips. "I've just watched more TV dramas and learned how to communicate. Is it really that hard to adapt?"
"I think your usual aloof, noble, and serious demeanor is perfectly fine. Smiling or joking around doesn't really suit you." Jian Kaiheng gently played with his hair, his lips curled up slightly as he said with a hint of pride, "It's better to leave this kind of thing to me, this handsome fellow."
"Okay." Upon hearing his words, the faint smile on Ai Yu's face instantly disappeared. She looked at him expressionlessly and asked calmly, "So, have you thought it through?"
Jian Kaiheng nodded, then stretched out his right hand, raised three fingers, and said to Ai Yu solemnly, "You are not short of money or any other material things.
But I think that at certain times, you might need my help. So, I make you a promise now - I will give you three chances to help unconditionally, no matter when and where, as long as you ask. And this has nothing to do with our positions, identities, etc.
