Chapter 918: Chapter 731: Then Can You Help Me? Under the interrogation room light, Li Jian Amber, the new head of the Li Jian family, looked down at the prisoner cuffed here.
The prisoner was also looking at her, eyes vacant. "I don’t know what you’re talking about, officer."
"Before pretending you don’t know anything, could you at least change your name?" Li Jian Amber said coldly, "Others might forget, but do you think I’ve forgotten?"
Huai Shi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Sigh.
Should’ve known better than to leave loose ends, but leaving no loose ends means no money...
"Unbelievable, you brought me to Yingzhou, had me finish the job, and not only did you not pay me, but also locked me up?" Thinking of this, Huai Shi couldn’t help but hit the table, "You dare to mess with the Astronomical Society’s money, what a rotten conscience you Yingzhou people have!"
Li Jian Amber silently looked at him, put the phone on the table, and started inputting the number for the Yingzhou Branch of the Astronomical Society in front of him, only to be stopped by Huai Shi who pulled on the handcuffs.
"No, no... Sis, let’s talk this out..."
The special agent from headquarters had gone undercover under the noses of the branch, if this gets out, especially at such a critical moment, who knows what kind of chaos it might cause.
"How did you know I was here?" Huai Shi genuinely puzzled. "As the grand leader of the Li Jian family, wouldn’t you spend your free time playing with the Extreme Path?"
"Do you think the Order of Nothingness is such a big deal? Almost all the court officials and martial families are focused on Kyoto now, let alone me as the new head? I’m also a person from Deer’s Sing Hall now."
If Amber hadn’t mentioned it, Huai Shi might have almost forgotten: that brat sister has made it big, being the master of AnFang, the tyrant of Yingzhou, plus the Gold Medal of Dongxia Genealogy... No, it’s the friendly bridge between the Xie and Ying Dynasty.
"Last night’s mess you made, did you really think it wasn’t big enough?" Amber glanced at him, "Lucky for you it’s me today; when I saw the list, I thought I was blind... So when you said goodbye, you meant you’d meet me in the bureau?"
"It was just coincidence, coincidence..."
Huai Shi awkwardly smiled, "As they say, one cannot control oneself in the Jianghu."
"The Chef Demon contest is over, why are you still lingering in Yingzhou? Dabbling in Hybrid matters, are you trying to stir up some trouble again?" Amber looked at him with full vigilance.
Based on her understanding of this guy, as long as he’s around, waves come from nowhere, disasters strike where he goes, and explosions follow in his wake. Upon knowing he’s roaming around Kyoto, Amber was almost scared enough to want to increase the defenses of the Imperial Palace.
She carefully stared at the man in front of her, solemnly and seriously asked, "Did you come here because of the Former Emperor?"
What the hell?
Huai Shi pondered for a while, shaking his head frantically.
"I don’t even know your Former Emperor’s name, why would I do anything for him?" Huai Shi seriously questioned, "I, the grand Prince of Paradise, am aiming for this?"
If someone else heard Huai Shi’s blasphemous words, they might arrange a bullet for him, but Amber, being a Second fifth of Dongxia Genealogy, didn’t care, continuing to ask:
"Then it’s about the Hybrid group?"
"You... assume it’s school affairs."
Huai Shi struggled for a while, not knowing how to explain, his expression complex, instinctively wanting a smoke, filled with emotion. Lucky for him, the interrogation room had signal blockers, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to deal with Ai Qing...
"Ha, school affairs..." Amber flipped through the intelligence summary in her hand, casually asking, "I heard you are quite close with the Tobio family’s daughter, almost sleeping on the same bed?"
"How can you talk like this, slandering me!" Huai Shi was furious.
"Do you even have such a thing as purity?"
Amber snorted coldly, thinking of the troubles ahead gave her a headache, sighed, "Huai Shi, whatever you do, best not involve too much.
The waters of the Order of Nothingness run deep, it might not just be the struggle between the General and the Former Emperor..."
"Can you help me then?"
Huai Shi blinked, leaned closer, looking pitiful, almost making the Dog God Armor behind Amber manifest, wanting to slash this bastard.
In the long silence, Amber coldly gazed at him.
After a while, suddenly spoke, "Alright."
She said, "I help you, you help me."
"Hmm?"
"Bring down the Iron King Party." She said, "If you insist on meddling in this affair, I can also use my identity to help you. But once the Order of Nothingness is issued, you must help me completely eliminate the Iron King Party, by any means necessary."
Huai Shi was dumbfounded: "Isn’t the Iron King Party a lackey of your Deer’s Sing Hall?"
"You said they are Deer’s Sing Hall lackeys, not mine." Amber sneered, "You think there’s no internal struggle within Deer’s Sing Hall?"
"..."
In silence, Huai Shi looked at her in shock, after a while, genuinely asked, "How hasn’t Deer’s Sing Hall collapsed yet?"
Look at Dongxia Genealogy, then Yingzhou Genealogy, not just size, but office atmosphere and personnel relationships are leagues apart...
This deceitful and treacherous, how can it fight others?
"It’s called corporate culture, Huai Shi."
Amber’s phone spun at her fingertips, the Astronomical Society’s number faintly visible: "Help or not, one word."
Huai Shi shook his head, sighed helplessly, "To be honest, just one word about helping you bring down the Iron King Party, I’m just a small fry now, it’s really tough."
He spread his hands, looking helpless.
Waiting for Amber to offer more money.
Amber seemed to believe it, nodding understandingly, "Since it’s like that, the matter of the final payment then..."
