Chapter 251: I feel safer this way.
"It is indeed rare to find a subordinate who can make the city lord give way."
Su Wanqing picked up the osmanthus wine next to her, took a sip, and leisurely looked at Gong Yu sitting opposite her.
In fact, she had long harbored doubts about Gong Yu's identity.
From the moment he spoke up during the initial match, she sensed something was off about him.
soon.
She discovered that palaces could appear almost anywhere in Moonlight City.
A person who can hold multiple positions.
Either you're the boss's sweetheart, or you're the one in charge.
Since the Lord of Moonlight City came out...
Although he spoke eloquently, almost every sentence he uttered was a very fixed phrase.
It didn't seem like they were there to discuss a collaboration; it looked more like they were simply following instructions from someone else.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she saw Gong Yu walk up and stand behind the city lord.
This is a perfectly normal thing.
However, as Gong Yu approached, the city lord subconsciously took a step back, making way for Gong Yu.
No matter what kind of subordinate, they will never let their master give way.
There is only one possibility: Gong Yu is the one in power here.
After listening to Su Wanqing's explanation, Gong Yu smiled casually.
Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; ever since he took over Moonlight City, he has appeared as a subordinate.
For so many years, no one knew that he was the real master.
This has led many people to dislike him for being so favored.
He got away with it many times by relying on this kind of thing.
After all, no one would think that a city lord who is always running around doing things is so disrespected.
He kept it a secret from everyone.
However, the person who replaced him as the city lord could not be kept secret.
Therefore, only Uncle Kong, who was pretending to be the city lord, knew that he was the real city lord.
Unexpectedly, Su Wanqing noticed the problem when Uncle Kong inadvertently took a step back.
He was indeed negligent in this matter.
"Miss Su, you're quite observant. Have you taken a liking to me?"
Gong Yu squinted, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked at Su Wanqing with a somewhat ambiguous gaze.
Su Wanqing smiled, raised an eyebrow at Gong Yu, and said, "If I were to take a liking to you, would you hand over the entire Moonlight City to me?"
Gong Yu withdrew his teasing expression and looked at Su Wanqing expressionlessly, saying, "Are you a bandit?"
Su Wanqing helplessly spread her hands: "Your only advantage is that you're rich. The only thing I can see in you is your money."
"Ah."
Gong Yu chuckled in exasperation, licked his lips, and looked at Su Wanqing incredulously, saying, "Why don't you take another look at my face?"
"Rough eyebrows, expressive eyes, a small nose, and thin lips—in our area, this kind of man is, to put it nicely, promiscuous; to put it bluntly,..."
"Shut up, stop talking. Let's get down to business."
Gong Yu interrupted Su Wanqing's obvious personal attack with a dark face.
Su Wanqing nodded in satisfaction, finally realizing they were getting down to business.
"One hundred million, and I'll tell you a secret you've always wanted to know."
Su Wanqing sipped her osmanthus wine while looking at Gong Yu.
Do you think I'm easy to fool, or do I look easy to fool?
Gong Yu's eyes grew increasingly disdainful.
Although he is very rich, he is definitely not a swindler like this.
"Didn't you want to know who Wuming is? Isn't information about Wuming worth 1 million?"
Su Wanqing gently swung her legs; the last time she used this excuse, she had only fooled the shadowy figure.
I wonder how the shadowy figure is doing in the ghost realm now.
I'll have to call him back once I get back to the city and check on the situation.
"Do you have any news about the Nameless One?"
Gong Yu put away his playful expression and looked at Su Wanqing seriously.
"Ah."
"Your information isn't that Wuming is a woman, is it? I don't believe such common knowledge."
Gong Yu looked at Su Wanqing with a slightly dangerous aura.
"Don't worry, it's not."
Su Wanqing almost couldn't help but laugh; this one was a bit smarter than the shadowy figure from before.
"Uncle Kong, give her the money."
After hearing this, Uncle Kong quickly returned to his room, took out a box, and opened it in front of Su Wanqing.
Seeing the glittering gold coins inside, Su Wanqing didn't waste any words and directly accepted her bracelet.
Just as she expected, Moonlight City is indeed incredibly wealthy, outrageously so.
Su Wanqing stood up from the chair and stretched.
At the same time, all the beasts stood up, since a fight was very likely to break out soon.
They need to be in position beforehand.
"Su Wanqing, you dare to run away, just try it!"
Gong Yu looked angrily at Su Wanqing, who was about to leave, and threatened her through gritted teeth.
Su Wanqing didn't speak, her eyes dimmed, and her clothes began to change.
The instant she transformed into shadow, she used Dark Concealment and Shadow Strike.
A cold scythe appeared directly at Gong Yu's neck: "Lord Gong, I heard you wanted to kill me?"
Before Su Wanqing could finish speaking, Gong Yu pushed her away and dodged, thus escaping her control.
Su Wanqing was not surprised by this situation.
If he were as weak as the three Feng brothers before, she really couldn't cooperate with him.
Gong Yu frowned as he looked at Su Wanqing in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes.
He silently closed his eyes, hoping that when he opened them again, everything he had just experienced was just his imagination.
When Gong Yu opened his eyes again, he saw Su Wanqing standing close by, smiling dangerously at him.
He was even more shocked; how had she managed to get close to him so silently?
Remembering what Su Wanqing had told him before about the saying "walls have ears," he should have realized then that this was Wuming.
"Shall we discuss cooperation, Lord Miyagi?"
Su Wanqing looked at Gong Yu in front of her with great patience.
"Ms. Su, in my opinion, discussions about cooperation should be based on openness and honesty between both parties. What do you think?"
Gong Yu swallowed hard, looking cautiously at Su Wanqing in front of him.
"I've already told you I'm anonymous, isn't that honest enough?"
Su Wanqing looked at Gong Yu with some displeasure; this man had too many problems.
"What you said is true, but could you please take your sickle off my neck before we talk?"
Gong Yu looked at Su Wanqing speechlessly. How could anyone talk about cooperation like that?
If she hadn't refrained from making a direct attack, he would have thought Su Wanqing had come to assassinate him.
Su Wanqing: "If you don't agree, it will be very troublesome for me to come over."
Gong Yu: "So you mean you'll kill me if I don't agree?"
Su Wanqing: "You're not unable to avoid it, so what are you pretending for?"
Gong Yu: "Knowing that, why are you still holding it to my neck?"
Su Wanqing: "This way, I feel safer."
Gong Yu easily slipped away again: "Wuming, I don't know whether to say you're highly skilled and daring, or just not smart."
"Do you know how many people in the city want to kill you right now? You actually dared to expose yourself."
"Or do you really think you can walk out of here alive?"
Gong Yu no longer restrained himself, his aura surging again as he looked at Su Wanqing with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
