Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Are My Chips Enough?

"Don’t you want to know who the people intercepting you are?"

Cheng Cang’s gaze fell on her dented car not far away, looking at her with a half-smiling expression.

The research base was already near the mountains, and the fog in the woods had only partially dissipated in the early morning, with the air still filled with moisture.

Lu Xining’s almond eyes were cold as she countered, "It seems you know?"

She was dressed in skin-friendly, comfortable casual wear today, exuding a gentle aura, but this gentleness did not reach her eyes, giving Cheng Cang the feeling of being kept at a distance.

Cheng Cang spit out the grass in his mouth, stood up, and walked in front of her, able to smell the faint fragrance on her body.

"I know." He didn’t hide it.

He was a man who had crawled out of the mud, fringe covered the scars at the tail of his eyes, giving him an added layer of innocence.

"Have you forgotten about the Wu Family? You gave him quite a hard time before."

Pulling relevant information about this man from her past memories, Lu Xining slightly lowered her eyes, contemplating seriously.

Seeing that she had remembered who the person was, the man continued, "Wu Dingtian is backed by the Beicheng Zhuang Family; the Zhuang Family has a young daughter named Zhuang Tian, who is now arranged to learn from Xi Juan."

Cheng Cang noticed the confusion in her eyes and continued, "And your ex-husband happens to have cooperation with the Xi Family."

Hearing this, Lu Xining raised her eyelids slightly.

He took out his phone from his pocket, found the photo sent to him by others, and handed it to Lu Xining to see.

"Zhuang Tian is arranged by Xi Juan to learn beside your ex-husband."

"Precisely speaking, this youngest daughter of the Zhuang Family has taken a liking to your ex-husband and is pursuing him."

Liking Ji Muye and hiring people to hurt her?

Is this woman’s brain okay?

If in the future every woman who likes Ji Muye comes to seek her presence here.

Won’t she have no peaceful days?

Lu Xining looked straight into the eyes of the man in front of her and suddenly asked, "What about you? Who is the person behind you?"

The Xi Family and Zhuang Family are undoubtedly powerful forces in Beicheng.

And how could Cheng Cang, a gang leader from a small county town, know these things.

Especially, his information source is so well-informed.

The man casually spoke, "Who I am isn’t important; the point is, I can offer you help, so..."

He took a half step forward, his crew-cut eyes staring into hers, spoke deliberately, "You might consider collaborating with me."

Ha! Another man coming with a cooperation proposal.

She must have stirred up some hive of cooperations recently, huh?

Lu Xining asked him interestedly, "The precondition for cooperation is that you must have the strength to provide me help."

She glanced at his dirty overalls and raised her eyebrows, "By moving bricks?"

Just then, Xu Zhi, in the office not far away, saw Lu Xining who had not gone upstairs yet, and the tense yet evenly matched atmosphere between her and that rough-looking little worker, couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow.

Cheng Cang, with a sharp gaze, looked towards Xu Zhi’s location, his eyes losing some of their coldness.

"Tonight, I’ll take you to a place."

He leaned forward, his voice unexpectedly cold, "Then you’ll see my sincerity."

Without waiting for her answer, Cheng Cang chuckled lightly and left.

As if certain she wouldn’t refuse.

Lu Xining eyed the man’s receding black silhouette, turned, and headed towards Xu Zhi’s office.

Compared to the unfathomable Shang Lvxing, this man was evidently easier to see through.

But none of them are good birds.

Today, a batch of the latest experimental machines was transported from Country C and all were delivered to the completed building.

Lu Xining spent an entire afternoon just on testing.

Several more machines are coming tomorrow.

After making a call to Fu Junhang indicating that she would not return tonight, she got up and left the office.

The night was cool as water, and the cold wind was piercing.

Cheng Cang, waiting at the door, saw her finally come out, a smile hanging on his lips as he walked over nonchalantly.

"Boss Lu really tends to forget things due to her many responsibilities."

Lu Xining tightened her coat, "I never said what time."

Even though he had the upper hand, this woman always found a way to take back control.

"Alright, you’re tough." Cheng Cang’s clothes were very thin, his muscular build prominent.

He glanced at the bodyguards who hadn’t followed behind, slightly raising an eyebrow, "Aren’t you afraid I might sell you out?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a small red dot appeared on Cheng Cang’s forehead.

"..." This woman really kept her cards close to her chest.

Lu Xining casually looked up, "Lead the way."

From beginning to end, Cheng Cang never mentioned where he was taking her.

He thought Lu Xining would ask, but she didn’t say anything and even kept her curiosity off her face.

Seeing the black heavy-duty motorcycle in front of her, Lu Xining finally showed a change of expression.

"Get on, why are you hesitating?" Cheng Cang handed her a pink helmet, newly bought just for her.

The heavy-duty motorcycle rode smoothly through the wilderness, especially at this time with no other vehicles around, noticing the stiffness in the woman behind him, Cheng Cang’s smile gradually grew wider.

He brought Lu Xining to a repair shop in the Fuxian County Suburb, driving all the way to the innermost workshop.

"Brother Cang, hello!" Voices sounded one after another.

Lu Xining took off the helmet, surveying the repair shop that held more than meets the eye, the men working on cars around also looked at her curiously, but dared not to approach.

"Let’s go." Cheng Cang took the pink helmet from her hand, placed it on the motorcycle, and continued walking inside with her.

The freight elevator in front opened.

The first thing that caught her eye was an entire wall of mirrors.

Lu Xining felt like she was opening a blind box as she followed Cheng Cang into the elevator.

All around were mirrors, and every move of the person inside could be clearly seen.

As the elevator ’dinged’, the mirrored doors opened and a wave of hot air hit their faces, everyone seeing Cheng Cang inside immediately bowed their heads respectfully and greeted "Brother Cang".

The confined space was chaotic with scents mixed with tobacco, alcohol, and various unpleasant smells.

Lu Xining suppressed the urge to cover her nose and mouth, and as the man saw her subtle facial expression through the mirror, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd and led her to another elevator, this time going up.

When these elevator doors opened, it led to a quiet corridor.

The sound, as loud as a music festival dance floor just now, had entirely dissipated as the people guarding the elevator doors immediately bowed their heads upon seeing Cheng Cang and Lu Xining.

The office in dark tones revealed a different world inside.

Lu Xining observed Cheng Cang’s bargaining chips, her eyes flashing slightly, seeing many familiar faces from the news on the wall full of surveillance videos.

She turned to look at Cheng Cang, who had already sat down on the couch and was drinking, having already taken off his coat to reveal a work vest, appearing like any street gang leader, yet possessing such powerful connections.

He raised his lips and asked, "Are my chips enough?"

Cheng Cang holding his drink moved forward, handing it to her while saying, "Lu Xining, welcome to my world."
