Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Fake News

Watching Bai Junjun and Li Wenli appear at the room’s doorway, Manager Qiao couldn’t help but frown slightly, "You... you..."

These two had stolen his Tiger Token; what did their appearance mean now?

As he was thinking, Li Wenli casually tossed the Tiger Head Token onto the ground.

"Thanks for the hospitality; we’ve now returned it intact."

"..." Manager Qiao.

He glanced at the token, assuming that the pair had failed their mission and returned.

He coughed weakly and replied sickly, "I always said, it was pointless for you to go there. Humming Abyss is heavily guarded and filled with traps, not something you could just break into."

At this moment, Manager Qiao still didn’t know that, like Fahua Temple and Thousand Miles Headquarters, Humming Abyss had already been wiped out by this deadly duo.

The two looked at the bewildered Manager Qiao and simply asked, "Who is your mastermind?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Qiao didn’t even lift his eyes, clearly unwilling to answer.

"You don’t want to talk? Then shall I guess?"

Li Wenli calmly sat down at the guest table, adept at this sort of negotiation.

Normally, Bai Junjun would just be a silent observer, but seeing Li Wenli gracefully and exaggeratedly sit on the broken stool, Bai Junjun still silently unleashed her Special Ability to repair the stool before it broke.

Li Wenli glanced subtly at Bai Junjun and inwardly praised her as a wife of great virtue.

He had forgotten that everything here was in disrepair due to neglect; had it not been for the lady’s quick thinking, he might have already fallen on his back.

Li Wenli silently saved face and slightly squinted his fox-like eyes, his mouth curving into a smile, his demonic nobility immediately evident.

At this moment, Li Wenli was imposing, domineering, and fully exuding his powerful aura.

Manager Qiao glanced at him then quickly averted his gaze, ready to take a defensive stance.

Li Wenli chuckled lightly, "I saw your master at the city gate just now."

Manager Qiao’s pupils twitched slightly, and he quickly masked his emotions.

"It seems your master is not very popular; just arrived in the Capital City and already targeted by a group of men in black for assassination."

Li Wenli spoke leisurely.

If Li Wenli had asked "Who is your master?" or "Who is the mastermind behind Humming Abyss?", Manager Qiao would certainly have ignored him.

But it’s just like this man to not play by the rules; instead of interrogating, he started chatting casually about gossip.

And this gossip sounded so convincingly true that even Manager Qiao couldn’t remain indifferent to it.

Manager Qiao looked up at Li Wenli again.

"You don’t need to try to trick me into talking; I won’t say anything."

"Whether you answer is up to you, but whether I speak is up to me."

Li Wenli leaned back intriguingly, thankful for the twilight that covered up the soot on his clothes, unnoticed by Manager Qiao.

Li Wenli continued, "Your master has a lot of nerve; setting up an intelligence agency right under the emperor’s nose, even establishing an underground Weapon depot. It seems everything was part of his plan for the southward move, has your master been harboring thoughts of seizing power for a long time?"

Manager Qiao suppressed the turmoil in his heart and looked at him lightly, "Since you know everything, why bother testing me? I can only advise you, this water is very deep, once you’re involved, don’t expect to get out unscathed."

"Manager Qiao, this is a big misunderstanding; we were just chatting, how could it be seen as probing?" Li Wenli disagreed with a serious face, "Besides, we’ve been involved in this for three years already, haven’t we?"
