Chapter 935: Ginseng Enters the House

  Lin Jingwen was assigned to the kitchen, Su Luo quickly recovered from her illness and "injury", life went on as usual, and cooperation with Man Ye's side was also accelerating.

  Later, they went to several more banquets together, and both sides had a very pleasant conversation. Man Ye even proposed to her that they become sworn siblings. Su Luo thought about it and felt that it was just a title, anyway, their interests were already aligned, sharing the same fate, so she casually agreed.

  I didn't expect the other party to attach great importance to it. Not only did they set up a grand banquet, but also set up an incense table, invited many dignitaries as witnesses, and introduced Su Luo to his 80-year-old mother, giving her many valuable gifts that even money couldn't buy, making her feel embarrassed, but truly touched, and sincerely accepted this cheap brother, from him and his family felt the long-lost kinship.

  Manye treated her well, but not like a typical older brother to his younger sister. Instead, he treated her more like a younger brother, often pulling her into sparring matches or drinking together when there was good wine. He didn't avoid being affectionate with women in front of her either. Sometimes, he would even ask her which one was more attractive, leaving her crying and laughing at the same time. However, this way of interacting actually made her feel quite comfortable.

  One day, Man Ye suddenly remembered something and asked Su Luo, "How come you haven't seen that boyfriend of yours for a long time? Are you tired of him? Do you want me to pick some new ones for you?" I saw him being quite cold towards her, last time he even specially put something in his drink, is he very passionate now? If so, I'll get some more for you.

  Su Luo finally knew the reason for Lin Jingwen's abnormal behavior that day, originally she had roughly guessed it was something he ate wrong, didn't expect someone "meant well", what a...!

  She really wants to say, brother, please don't worry about my bed affairs anymore. That medicine didn't make her feel good at all, but instead made her feel uncomfortable for several days.

  But this can't be said out loud, so I just smiled and refused. It's really frustrating in my heart. There's no way to vent, so poor Lin Jingwen had to continue washing dishes.

  Then she brought another person back from the wine shop.

  It was like this, that day she went to do something, when she came out, she felt someone was watching her, took a look, it turned out to be the miss who got beaten up that day, didn't pay attention, casually asked: "Is it you, are your injuries healed? Be more careful next time." and then prepared to leave.

  The other party rushed up and knelt down with a "pa" sound: "Prince, please take me in, I will work hard."

  "This is which one, Su Luo was not very happy: 'If you want to go to Fei Cui for work, just go and apply yourself, I think your boss won't stop you either, get up, it's too embarrassing.'"

  "No, I want to stay with you. Please give me a chance." The persistence and strong desire in her eyes surprised Su Luo, also piquing her curiosity. Anyway, there was nothing else to do next, so she might as well find a room and listen to what she had to say.

  "It's possible for Qinglong to come, I just want to ask you a few questions."

  "The prince is asking you." The woman saw hope and was excited, but also a bit nervous.

  "Firstly, why did you have to come to me, what's your purpose. If it's because I saved you last time and you want to repay me or something, then forget it, it was just a small favor."

  "This is one reason, but not the only one. I don't want to rely on selling my body and relying on men to live anymore, I want to become stronger, I want to live with dignity, no longer being beaten or scolded at will." Su Luo saw her clenched fist.

  "It's great that you have this idea, and it doesn't necessarily have to be with me. Wouldn't it be better to just find a decent job?" This reason was not enough to move her.

  "After that day, I heard a lot about you and really admire you. Although I know it's impossible to be like you forever, as long as I can learn a little bit from you, I'll be very happy."

  "Alright, I'll accept your reason for now. Now, let's move on to the second question: what do you think you can do here in Qinglong? We don't keep idle people around, and we're not in the business of flesh trade either. Looking at how frail you are, you probably can't even fight, and I doubt your reading skills are any good either. So, what makes you think I should take you in?"

  The woman looked down in shame, thought for a moment, then raised her head and said to Su Luo: "I know I'm not very capable, but whatever is needed, I'll learn it seriously. Now I can do laundry, cook meals, or anything else that needs to be done, as long as I can do it."

  Su Luo began to consider whether to take her in or not. What she couldn't do could be learned, but loyalty and sincerity were irreplaceable: "This kind of work, nannies and maids can all do, and they're more skilled than you, why would I want to use you?"

  The woman was taken aback, afraid that Su Luo wouldn't want her: "I can take only half of their salary, no, I don't need money, as long as there's food to eat, and I guarantee I will absolutely not betray you."

  Su Luo was amused: "The Green Dragon has not been reduced to this extent, but it's definitely not as profitable as you are here. Once you enter, you must follow our rules. You're used to a life of luxury and pleasure, can eat, drink, play and earn money, are you sure you can take it? And can you guarantee that you won't mess around with the brothers in the gang?"

  "I can! I can! I can! If I fail, let the prince deal with me." She said, nodding desperately.

  "Alright then, go back and pack your things. Call Heizi before you come." Su Luo had someone next to her give her a number.

  "Yea!" The woman suddenly jumped up, fearing Su Luo wouldn't be pleased and hurriedly guaranteed: "Thank you, Crown Prince, I will do a good job."

  "By the way, what's your name."

  "People here call me Ah May, but on my ID card it's Li MeiLi." She felt a bit embarrassed, thinking the name was too old-fashioned.

  "After that, I'll call you Ali, it's still better to have a name given by your parents."

  "Uh-huh." The girl was very happy.

  Many years later, Su Luo still remembered this strange "interview" and felt emotional. He didn't expect that Ali, who was useless at the time, would become so capable in the end, just like she said, no one dared to bully her anymore, but instead became one of her most powerful assistants. Life is indeed unpredictable.

  These years, Su Luo has been preparing for whitening, on the one hand consolidating people's hearts, and on the other hand continuously expanding Qinglong's strength, mainly in formal business, of course, also in the position on the Taoist path, but there has never been a big move, because she is waiting for an opportunity, finally, this chance came.

  Lu Zhen'er ignored Long Xiao's advice and went out to work, only to be kidnapped by another gang. The other side wanted to sow discord and knew the relationship between the three, so they contacted her, saying that they would hand over Lu Zhen'er for her to deal with.

  Su Luo's previous generation was indifferent, as a result Long Xi led his brothers to rescue him, losing many people and getting injured himself. This time Su Luo planned to deceive him first, rescue the person back by herself, and owe the Lu family father and son a favor, using this as a bargaining chip for Qinglong to negotiate with Jingfang.

  Why is she so confident that this will work? Because Lu Zhen'er's father and brother are not ordinary police officers. One is the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and the other is the leader of the anti-smuggling team, holding great power and influence. Moreover, these two men love their daughter and sister dearly, and as long as it involves Lu Zhen'er, they will put aside all impartiality and fairness.

  Of course, it's not possible to just let Qinglong go with this alone, but rather to strive for a more favorable negotiating condition. There is still much work to be done in other areas, and the key is to make them see that allowing Qinglong to whitewash is absolutely beneficial.

  Su Luo received the kidnapper's call and immediately contacted Lu Jing's father: "Director Lu, hello, sorry to disturb you, I'm Su Luo of Qinglong. I suppose you already have a lot of information about me on your desk, so I won't introduce myself further. The matter is urgent, that's why I'm looking for you today, it's about your daughter."

  "What have you done to Zhen'er?" The voice was full of worry just by listening.

  "You misunderstood, I didn't do anything to Miss Lu, but she is indeed in danger now, kidnapped by the Lei gang. I called you to discuss how to rescue her."

  "What are you trying to do? Are you colluding with each other? Do you want to use my daughter as leverage to achieve some goal?"

  "I'm not threatening you, I just want to help. The Green Dragon has a plan to cooperate with the police, and if you're willing, we can sit down and talk about it. If not, I've at least delivered the message. I wish you luck in rescuing Miss Lu soon. By the way, let me tell you that Miss Lu is currently dating our boss, who's also my fiancé, and the people from the Lei gang kidnapped her to drive a wedge between us. They plan to deliver her to me, but I don't want anything to happen to Miss Lu. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. The deadline they gave is tomorrow night, so before then, you can contact me."

  He fell silent for a moment: "Let me think about it."

  "Alright, I'll leave you alone then."

  Su Luo wasn't worried that he wouldn't agree, or pretend to negotiate and then deceive her into rescuing Lu Zhen'er before going back on his word. The other party was a clever person who knew the consequences of provoking her, so they should give her an opportunity to negotiate. As for what would be negotiated, it would depend on the situation at that time.

  As expected, the phone call came back in less than half an hour: "I agree to your terms, let's talk about it after Zhen'er returns safely. I don't guarantee that my superiors will agree, but I can only convey your meaning."

  "That's enough, thank you Director Lu."

  It's impossible to get everything at once, and Su Luo is relatively satisfied with being able to negotiate such a condition. Next is to rescue Lu Zhan'er without harming a single hair on her head.

  The most troublesome thing is actually Long Xiao. Whether to let him know or not, both are risky. If I tell him, he will definitely lead people to kill recklessly like in the past, and when the time comes, it will not only ruin her plan but also implicate his brothers. If I don't tell him, it's also impossible to thoroughly deceive him, because the people of Lei Bang will definitely frame her for the crime.

  After some thought, I decided not to say anything for the time being. I entrusted a respected elder of the gang with this task. For the next two days, keep an eye on Long Xiao. If she receives a call from someone from the Lei Gang when she takes action, tell him that she has already gone to rescue people and guarantee that Lu Zhen'er will return safely. If he doesn't listen, then forcibly stop her.

  After such a long observation, Su Luo really couldn't trust him, especially when it came to Lu Zhan'er, he completely lost his rationality and didn't have the slightest bit of responsibility or ability as a helper.
