A few days later, Shi Miao met Alger Ford. He was well-maintained, and in his custom-made suit, he looked like an elegant middle-aged gentleman.
He did not bring an interpreter with him, and he spoke fluent Country Z as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I've heard of Miss Shi's name a long time ago."
Although he'd prepared himself mentally before coming, Shi Miao's youth and beauty still took him by surprise. Photos couldn't capture her otherworldly aura. Stunned as he was, he didn't dare entertain any illicit thoughts.
Shi Miao glanced at him and said calmly, "Last month, you were able to survive again thanks to your newborn granddaughter."
These words made Alger Ford's originally calm expression unsteady.
The granddaughter Shi Miao mentioned was the child of his grandson and his girlfriend. His girlfriend was of low status, so the Ford family had no intention of recording the child in the family tree. This fact had never been made public, not even Alger's close friends knew about it. Unexpectedly, Shi Miao could tell the difference just by looking at her.
Yes, he did use his granddaughter's cord blood to restore some of his youth.
He quickly regained his composure and said nonchalantly, "This kind of thing is very common over there. The child has also secured a comfortable life for the rest of her life. It was a very good deal for her."
Shi Miao didn't bother to argue with him. She knew full well that if the child hadn't survived, they would simply say she was unlucky. In the eyes of these people, anyone below them was expendable.
If Alger Ford had not shown her sharpness this time, which made them realize that she was not easy to mess with, he would not have been so polite in front of her.
Shi Miao took a sip of tea and said, "My time is precious. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to waste my time."
Alger Ford's face twitched—he said it as if he had plenty of free time. If Peter Wood hadn't been an old friend and hadn't given up some of his interests in the partnership, he wouldn't have come to see Shi Miao in person. His time was also precious, and many people wanted to see him but didn't have the chance. Accustomed to a haughty attitude, he was actually very upset inside, but he just kept it to himself.
"Pete has realized the mistake he made, and this is the apology he specially prepared."
He handed the document to Shi Miao, who flipped through it. It seemed those accidents had really frightened him, and the compensation he offered was indeed very generous. Especially the shares, which were worth billions.
Shi Miao returned the documents to Alger.
Alger asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the apology?"
Shi Miao said calmly: "Let him talk to our government."
Money was just a number to her now. After being able to open her spiritual palace, she no longer needed jade. Money was just a number on paper to her. Even if she received a billion more in dividends each year, her life would remain the same.
Alger looked at her in shock. Was she going to voluntarily give the benefits to the Z government?
He didn't understand how someone could actively turn away benefits? Don't say she is really a saint.
Originally, Alger had wanted to work with Shi Miao on behalf of his family, perhaps by having Shi Miao create a feng shui formation to generate profits. But now he realized that it was impossible to impress Shi Miao with money.
How could she not like money?
He was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll convey your message to Pete."
"You didn't have to come all this way. This spell only lasts for a month."
Alger's face twitched. He didn't know if his old friend would be alive in a month.
Shi Miao said: "Actually, there is another way for him to solve his current predicament, and that is to do more good deeds."
“We donate quite a bit of money every year,” Alger said.
Shi Miao said, "But you all know how much of that money can actually reach those who really need help."
Alger probably understood. "So if I want to work with you, I have to be a good person?"
"Yes. And regarding the hook issue, your country can also cooperate with the government."
They couldn't just catch Jie Gou whenever they wanted. Shi Miao felt that Jie Gou was too well-behaved, which was why these people still had such unrealistic fantasies.
After Shi Miao said this, he asked the other party to leave.
When Aljie went out, just as someone stepped into the yard, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.
Alger's face changed drastically. Was he going to be struck by lightning? He hadn't done anything excessive to Shi Miao. His attitude was very respectful to her.
Then he saw the lightning strike directly on the person who stepped into the yard, burning his body and making him tremble continuously.
Alger's legs felt a little weak as he passed by the lightning, but fortunately it didn't hit him.
Country Z is so dangerous!
He wondered if Shi Miao was warning him in this way.
Shi Miao's apprentice, Chen Chunrang, said in a calming tone, "Master has set up a formation in the courtyard. Anyone who enters with ill intentions towards her or us will automatically be struck by lightning."
Alger was shocked: How could this be possible?
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't harbor any malicious thoughts towards Shi Miao (although he didn't dare), otherwise he would be one more person struck by lightning.
He was even more determined that even if he couldn't be Shi Miao's friend, he would never be her enemy.
After returning, Alger Ford quickly conveyed Shi Miao's intention to Pitt and Congress.
Peter had been in a lot of trouble in recent days and was on the verge of death. After hearing Alger's words, he held on and asked his subordinates to do charity work, and he had to do it himself. On the other hand, he also sent people to Country Z to discuss some business cooperation, such as selling some production lines.
Although being anti-Z is politically correct, it means nothing when it comes to one's own life.
News of the Wood family's transformation spread quickly, with everyone saying he was frightened by Shi Miao. Many people mocked their family for having no integrity and falling to their knees so quickly, which was a complete disgrace to them.
As for the parliamentary masters, they were extremely angry at Shi Miao for being so ungrateful. However, with the example of the Wood family, they would not be so foolish as to attack Shi Miao before finding someone strong enough to confront him.
They just didn't believe that there wasn't someone more powerful than Shi Miao in the world. When the time came, they would not only catch Jie Gou, but also make Shi Miao pay the price.
Suddenly, the masters of the occult from various countries became very popular.
…
In the house.
Zuo Haoran's whole body was already festering at this time, and he had been in this situation worse than death for a long time.
During this period, the Yasdan family did find a wizard to treat him, but the situation became worse.
Go back, he must go back!
If he continued to stay here, he would be a useless person for the rest of his life. Although he was very reluctant, Zuo Haoran had to admit that if anyone could save him, that person would definitely be Shi Miao.
Shi Miao was soft-hearted. As long as he bowed his head, she would definitely be willing to help him get rid of the curse.
If she is unwilling to help, then he will risk his life to find a way to transfer the curse to her and drag her into the water!
