Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Debt of Gratitude

"You’re also an expert in this field, so why do you look so inexperienced?" He asked her leisurely, holding a cup of coffee he didn’t know when he had made.

Mu Yiliang glared at him and finally reluctantly said, "...There’s strength in numbers."

She may indeed be technically skilled, but the talents Yan Sijue gathered were definitely not ordinary. Plus, his team was in the hundreds, not to mention the entire FIS database as a backup. With this man’s endless funds, anything he wanted to do was much easier than for Mu Yiliang.

"Heh..." Yan Sijue chuckled softly, somehow already holding her by the waist, "So you should know that the chips you’re bringing to the negotiation table are worthless. Even the secrets you think you hold, I can likely find out with no problem."

"..." Mu Yiliang was at a loss for words. She had thought she could negotiate, but only now realized that with his resources, her skills and bits of insider information were insignificant.

Yan Sijue’s arm tightened slightly: "However, I will still help you rescue your companion."

Mu Yiliang was taken aback: "Even if it has nothing to do with you..."

"Yes." Yan Sijue smiled, "Though troublesome, I will certainly help you."

Mu Yiliang suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"...Thank you."

"My pleasure." His voice was hoarse, his lips almost brushing her ear.

Mu Yiliang’s heartbeat unconsciously sped up. She wanted to break free from his warm embrace, but as he had just agreed to help her, doing so would seem heartless.

"President Yan..."

"Hmm?" The deep voice carried a hint of displeasure.

Mu Yiliang halted for a moment, realizing: "Mr. Yan..."

He snorted lightly, still discontented.

Mu Yiliang hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking, "...Si Jue?"

The man immediately chuckled softly and gently asked, "What is it?"

...How boring! Mu Yiliang cursed internally before saying, "...Though I feel I can’t be much help to you, if that day ever comes when you need me, feel free to ask."

"Oh." He replied indifferently, "Looking to repay a favor?"

"I’m weak and vulnerable, please don’t disdain my help..." She seethed inwardly.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay. She certainly couldn’t repay it with her body, could she?

"If you were mine, then whatever I do for you would be only right." He spoke softly, with that annoyingly deep, sexy voice.

Mu Yiliang bit her lip hard, resolutely resisting his temptation, never acknowledging his words.

Yan Sijue didn’t mind, setting aside his finished coffee: "Let’s go, the result is out."

Mu Yiliang was dumbfounded: "The result is out, shouldn’t we take a look?"

"That’s my business." He curved his lips, "Since you’ve chosen to let me help, don’t get yourself involved."

"...But I need to at least know who the other party is, so I can avoid them in the future." Mu Yiliang tried to argue her point.

He raised an eyebrow, glancing at her: "Do you think knowing their identity will help you avoid them? If they really wanted to come after you, you’d be left with no choice but to sit and wait."

"..."

Mu Yiliang was frustrated! Yet she had to admit he was right.
