At first, Shang'er thought that Ah Cheng had found his conscience and wanted to save her. She didn't expect that he had a favor to ask of her.
She had to admit that she felt a little guilty after being saved by Ah Cheng. However, when she heard that Ah Cheng had a question to ask, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Since this guy had a favor to ask of her, of course she had to seek the greatest benefit for herself.
"As long as you give me the answer I want, I'll let you go." Ning Cheng was very straightforward.
"What's the question? Let's hear it first." Shang'er chuckled.
"You've read all of Le Zheng's secret files?" Ning Cheng asked seriously.
Shang'er looked at him meaningfully and suddenly exclaimed, "Okay! Ah Cheng, so you're here for those secret files! You … weren't sold by Le Zheng before, were you? "
"Answer my question." Ning Cheng said unhappily.
"Yes, I've read all of them." Shang'er answered honestly.
"You remember all of them?" Ning Cheng asked again.
Shang'er smiled but didn't say anything.
The secret files of the slaves that Le Zheng personally controlled were top secret. The few people who were bought and sold all had great backgrounds. Of course she remembered all of them.
"What are you laughing at?" Ning Cheng asked Coldly.
Shang'er glanced at the person beside her and suddenly became serious. "Ah Cheng, answer my question honestly. How about it?"
"Speak." Ning Cheng's patience was running out.
Shang'er walked closer and stood on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear, "Ah Cheng, don't tell me you've really fallen for me? After killing Butler Ma, you won't be able to stay by Le Zheng's side anymore. "
Ning Cheng was stunned at first, then he sneered. "You're thinking too much."
Shang'er seemed unwilling to give up and said, "Le Zheng has a total of five secret files. Other than mine, if any of the remaining four are made public, Le Zheng will die without a burial place. Do you think that you can hide the fact that you killed Butler Ma from him? "
This should be the reason why Le Zheng wanted to kill her so quickly.
Otherwise, with Le Zheng's personality, he would have at least asked Butler Ma to torture her for a while before killing her. If she guessed correctly, Le Zheng would definitely ask Steward Ma to personally deliver her corpse tomorrow.
Shang'er originally thought that Ning Cheng would be very shocked, but Ning Cheng was not.
He was still cold and stern as he asked, "You're Jin 'er? What's your surname? Where is your family? "
He had long known that Gold came from the Black Forest. Therefore, he had long guessed that the secret files in Le Zheng's hands were not simple. It was troublesome to kill Steward Ma, but it was not as serious as Shang'er said. The years he spent in Liubei Chamber of Commerce were not for nothing!
Shang'er avoided Ning Cheng's question and asked again, "Are you really not afraid of the consequences?"
"Are you going to answer my question or not?" Ning Cheng lowered his voice.
"Answer my question first." Shang'er chuckled, not looking serious at all.
Unexpectedly, Ning Cheng suddenly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against her face. Coldly, he said, "Either you die or answer me!"
"Since you want to kill me, why save me?" Shang 'er was not afraid.
Ning Cheng snorted lightly, "It seems that you've misunderstood. I save you from Steward Ma and you answer my question. This is a business deal. Whether I kill you or not is another business deal. These are two different things, understand? "
Shang'er finally understood Ning Cheng's meaning. She asked angrily, "What right do you have to kill me?"
"What, only you're allowed to take my life, but I'm not allowed to kill you?" Ning Cheng said coldly.
Only the two of them could treat life and death as a business deal. There were reasons and conditions.
"You spoiled my plans, so it's only right that I kill you!" Shang'er said angrily, "If you didn't sneak in, Le Zheng would be in Great Qin's prison by now! I don't need to follow him to Mysterious Sky either. I hate this place! "
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not speak, Shang'er continued, "I've been a slave since I was three and have followed Le Zheng for more than twenty years. I'm about to kill him, so what right do you have to sneak in? What right do you have to take away Liubei Chamber of Commerce? Do you know how much money Le Zheng has in his treasury that I helped him earn by showing up in public? "
Shang'er glared at Ning Cheng angrily. There were many things that she did not plan to say. Even to Hua Jin, she would not say them.
Le Zheng was able to have so much power in Wintercrow Kingdom because she had suffered countless losses and grievances to curry favor with the Wintercrow Royal Family.
Women were always more suited to business deals than men because there were many men who wanted to take advantage of women in the business world. In the end, women would always take advantage of them.
What kind of person was Le Zheng? If she did not have true ability, how could she have won Le Zheng's favor?
No one knew that Le Zheng had wanted her to marry Wintercrow Kingdom's King for business. He had also wanted her to marry Wintercrow Kingdom's slave nobles. She had paid a heavy price to clinch the business deal and protect herself. Le Zheng saw her true ability and saw that he had no successor, so he gradually doted on and protected her like his own daughter.
Perhaps Le Zheng was old and had forgotten the past. However, she had grown up and understood more, so her hatred had deepened.
She did not want to be pitiful. She would rather be a heinous villain with the crime of being ungrateful and killing her foster father than be pitied by others.
She did not know why she suddenly told Ning Cheng the truth.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was still staring at her without speaking, she was a little embarrassed.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't look! "She hated other people's sympathy, especially him, her opponent.
But Ning Cheng didn't pity her at all. Instead, he gave her a disdainful look and said, "I don't care what grudges you have with Yue Zheng. If you don't have the skills, then admit defeat obediently. I'll ask you one last time. Do you want to die, or do you want to answer my question? "
Shang'er narrowed her eyes and answered without hesitation, "I choose to die!"
She refused to believe that Ning Cheng wouldn't realize that he'd lost the negotiation from the start with such a lucrative business deal. Since he wanted to know the answer, he was destined to be controlled by her.
If she died, who was going to answer his question?
She lifted her chin and looked up, looking as if she was unafraid of death.
She was much shorter than Ning Cheng. No matter how high she lifted her chin, Ning Cheng would still look down on her.
Ning Cheng looked at her disdainfully and snorted contemptuously. He said, "Shang'er, do you think I have to ask you? Since I dared to kill Butler Ma, I'm not afraid of trouble. If you don't answer me, I'll ask Le Zheng. "
Shang'er was stunned. What did this guy mean?
Although she was a little uneasy, she still maintained a righteous and fearless attitude. She continued to close her eyes and look up.
However, she heard Ning Cheng sigh softly. "I originally planned to wait a few days and figure out Le Zheng's background before making a move. But now, it doesn't matter. It doesn't make much of a difference whether I kill him now or later."
As soon as he said this, Shang'er immediately opened her eyes and exclaimed, "You have a way to kill Le Zheng?"
Ning Cheng did not answer. Instead, he held the dagger in his hand and stabbed at Shang'er.
"Ah … Spare me!" Shang'er was scared out of her wits and cried out.
Ning Cheng's dagger barely grazed her ear before landing right next to it. It didn't hurt her at all.
Shang'er was still scared out of her wits. She closed her eyes and screamed non-stop. Ning Cheng was helpless. He could only cover her mouth and say in a low voice, "Enough. I know how afraid you are of death. "
Shang'er secretly opened her eyes to look at his cold and handsome face. She wished she could find a hole to hide in. How embarrassing.
Ning Cheng let go of her mouth and asked straightforwardly, "Is there anyone from the Black Forest in the secret files?"
"You!" Shang'er was incomparably shocked. "You, you, you're actually Ling Ge!"
"It's really the Ling family?" Ning Cheng was also shocked. He had heard that the Ling family in the Black Forest was the only family that could tame tigers. However, this was only hearsay. When it came to Jin Zi's background, he would not easily believe it unless there was certain information.
"More than twenty years ago, the Ling family, the master of the Black Forest, lost a baby boy. It was Le Zheng who personally stole him." Shang'er said seriously.
Ning Cheng was deeply moved. No wonder when he saw Jin Zi for the first time at the Three-Way Black Market, he felt that the kid was not simple. Who would have thought that he was not simple at all? He was extremely complicated!
"What's Le Zheng's background?" Ning Cheng asked again.
Shang'er shrugged. "I don't know either."
"What's your background then?" Ning Cheng asked again.
Shang'er smiled. "I don't have any background. Otherwise, would I have fallen into your hands?"
"If you don't have any background, would Le Zheng still keep you by his side?" Ning Cheng asked again.
"When I was young, I was innocent and cute. Everyone loved me and flowers bloomed when they saw me. Anyone who saw me wanted to take me home and raise me as their daughter." Shang'er answered without any shame.
Ning Cheng said, "We're even now. You can scram now."
Shang'er said seriously, "You really don't want to kill me anymore?"
"I don't kill women. Scram now! "Ning Cheng said coldly.
Not only did Shang'er not leave, she even held onto his hand with a fawning expression. "How do you plan to kill Le Zheng? Do you want me to help you?"
Ning Cheng broke free. "No need."
"Then I'll stay and help you with your business?" Shang'er continued to ask.
"Are you scramming or not?" Ning Cheng turned around and glared at her coldly.
Shang'er did not give up and continued to pester him. "I can do anything. I can serve in the hall, cook in the kitchen, and even warm the bed."
Ning Cheng actually nodded. "Alright. Ten taels of silver a month. If you have a child, another ten taels. You can stay if you want. "
Shang'er immediately let go of his hand. She did not even look at Ning Cheng and turned to leave!
She was just about to leave when Ning Cheng stopped her. "Jump out of the window on the right. Someone will pick you up. Scram as far as you can. "Before Shang'er jumped out of the window, she deliberately turned around and said word by word," Stingy! "
Shang'er was sent to Luoxia City. Soon, the assassins who surrounded Hua Jin also dispersed and told Hua Jin that Shang'er was in Luoxia City.
When Hua Jin found Shang'er, she was dressed as a man and standing in the brothel opposite Le Xiaoyao, looking at the ruins of her efforts.
"Are you alright?" Hua Jin asked with concern.
Shang'er turned around and the first thing she said was, "Jin, you didn't protect me well. How are you going to settle this?"
Hua Jin was stunned. Before she could answer, Shang'er said, "Since we've been sisters for so many years, how about this? We'll cancel out this debt with the debt from before."
Hua Jin was originally worried that Shang'er would be sad to see Le Xiaoyao in ruins. Now that she saw that Shang'er was still willing to settle the debt, she was relieved.
She said, "Wake up. I didn't take your bodyguard's money. I have no obligation to protect you."
Finally, Shang'er drooped her head in disappointment. "Jin, Le Xiaoyao is gone. I have nothing left."
Hua Jin said, "Take out the secret files you know and buy them. Selling one copy will be enough for you to eat for the rest of your life."
"No. Once those files are leaked, Ah Cheng and everyone in the Liubei Chamber of Commerce will die! "Shang'er was very serious, even stern.
Hua Jin was curious. "Haven't you always wanted to kill Ah Cheng?"
