Chapter 232: 235 Deal with the Devil_1

"..." Qin Muchuan remained silent.

Zhou Ziqing asked with feigned surprise, "Muchuan, you don’t actually think I’m in China, do you?"

"You’re really not in the country?" Qin Muchuan counter-asked.

"I’ll be back in a few days. I’ll treat you to dinner to thank you properly," Zhou Ziqing offered her gratitude with a hint of regret in her voice.

"Alright!" Qin Muchuan said no more. His lips pressed tightly together and his posture became decidedly serious and tense.

After the call ended, Su Yueze shook his head and laughed. "Brother, are you talking to a leader? Why are you so stiff, almost like you’re in an army parade?"

Qin Muchuan shot him a glance and tersely replied, "Get out!"

"I have something else to discuss with you!"

"Out!"

Su Yueze now became serious, "It’s about work!"

Only then did Qin Muchuan’s demeanor soften. "Then speak quickly!"

"We’ve run into a small issue. We were planning to build a 23-story office building, right? But the distance between our building and the one behind it isn’t enough. The owners there are protesting, claiming we’re blocking their sunlight..."

"Where’s the problem if we have all the approval procedures in order? What’s missing?" Qin Muchuan asked, puzzled.

"The issue arises from...inspection by the leaders." Su Yueze said, sounding quite troubled. "And the Jiangcheng city leaders asked me to negotiate, offering other compensations, if we could reduce the building by two floors..."

"What a joke? This is unheard of!" Qin Muchuan was entirely unmoveable.

The entire building’s design had been handled by the best design company in England, and they’d spared no expense to get the best designers. Each part of the building was not just for aesthetics, but also crucial for the structural safety of the building. How could they just change it on a whim?

If so, all of their previous design would be wasted!

"Humph, I told them. It’s utterly impossible. It isn’t up for negotiation, but they insisted that I consult you," Su Yueze said, clearly frustrated.

Qin Muchuan shot him a glance. "If you already know that I won’t agree, don’t bother bringing it up with me in the future."

"Ah...I thought...their conditions are quite generous!" Su Yueze tried to argue.

"No conditions, no matter how generous, will make me agree!"

"Alright then..."

"Leave, I need to work!"

Su Yueze shrugged. "Of course, I’ve said all there is to say. I have pressing matters to attend as well..."

He walked out, leaving Qin Muchuan to his work. He thought, teasingly, ’it almost seems like he needs my advice.’

Looking at the closed office door, Qin Muchuan knitted his brows helplessly.

’This young man... He must have received some benefit from the city leaders of Jiangcheng. Otherwise, why would he be so persistent in persuading me?’

Having known him for so many years, hadn’t he figured him out yet?

............

Shen Hanqian was always efficient with her work. In less than fifteen minutes, she had called Lin Xiangwan back.

Upon seeing the incoming call from her good friend, Xiangwan’s heart thumped heavily. Nervously, she picked up. "Hello, what’s the situation?"

"I had my nephew ask around. This man named Liu Teng was released this morning. It’s strange because he was arrested with Ji Sen under the same charges, yet he was released due to lack of evidence. Why can’t Ji Sen be released?" Shen Hanqian said, perplexed. "Does his family have strong connections?"

"Okay, I got it. Qianqian, thank you for helping me investigate. I have something I need to deal with here, I’ll call you tonight." She said. Without giving Shen Hanqian another chance to speak, she hung up immediately.

"Hello, hello, hello..." Shen Hanqian called out into the phone.

Lin Xiangwan sat on the sofa, her eyes closed in a struggle. Upon hearing this news, Lin Xiangwan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Was this her destiny decreed by fate?

When she was alone, helpless, and in trouble, she had to rely on such a person for help?

Clearly, the only person who could help her now was the old lecher, Xie Zhimin!

If that was the case, should she take the initiative to approach him?

The troubling ring of the phone rang out once again.

Seeing the unfamiliar number from Jiangcheng, Lin Xiangwan had a premonition that the call must be from Xie Zhimin.

Should she answer?

She gave a bitter smile. Did she really have any other choice?

As soon as she answered the phone, she could hear Xie Zhimin’s smug voice. "Hello, got the news yet?"

"No!"

"Didn’t you investigate? Alright, then let me tell you: this morning, Liu Teng was released. Who’s Liu Teng? He’s connected to Ji Sen, of course. If I had had a fancy for Liu Teng’s sister, Ji Sen could have been the one being released now!"

Life was indeed interesting. If you wanted to screw over someone, you did it ruthlessly. If you wanted to take care of someone, his luck would change for the rest of his life.

Lin Xiangwan blinked and made up her mind. "So how can you prove that you can save Ji Sen?"

"My aim is to sleep with you. Once you become mine, Ji Sen will turn into my brother-in-law. Couldn’t I save him then?"

"No. That won’t work. I can’t trust your words. Since your target is me and I can’t run anywhere, and Ji Sen is there and can’t escape your palm either. First, you get him out of there and make sure he is proven innocent; after that, I will sleep with you."

"First, release him?" Xie Zhimin was reluctant. "You want to trick me? What if you refuse to sleep with me later?"

Lin Xiangwan laughed lightly. "Deputy Mayor Xie, you have tremendous abilities. If I really don’t uphold my promise, you can just arrest Ji Sen again!"

Xie Zhimin thought again and finally gave up. "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure. It’s just sleeping with Deputy Mayor Xie, it’s nothing serious. And if anyone even cares for me, that’s nice. However, I won’t let you take advantage easily. The meat that is right in front of the mouth is worthless. What if you refuse to fulfill your promise, what could I do to you?"

"Okay!" Xie Zhimin gave in one more time. "Wait for me, I’ll get Ji Sen out as soon as possible!"

"Great!" His words might be the best she’s heard recently.

"However, let’s put the nasty words up front. If you dare deceive me, I will not let it go. Ji Sen’s situation will be even worse then!" Xie Zhimin threatened.

Lin Xiangwan felt a lump in her heart. "Don’t worry, I won’t deceive you!"

......

After agreeing to this deal, Lin Xiangwan plunged into feelings of sadness, fear, and nausea!
