"Cancel the bounty order."
"......"
Upon hearing what Cruz said, Wuna felt a twinge of disappointment and bitterness.
"Sure enough, in the end, everything circles back to the purpose. There's no friendship, no love. Being alone is the fate for a lifetime..."
Wuna composed herself, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "Okay, I promise you. Consider this the return for tonight. We're even."
"However..."
"However what?" Wuna looked at Cruz, who suddenly paused.
"There's a guy who wants to be friends with you."
"Wh..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw a black figure rush up and hug her. Then she felt a furry head resting on her shoulder, and a muffled voice came from beside her ear.
"Sorry, we had no choice. But can we still be friends?"
Yong Shanling looked up at Wuna. Wuna was at a loss for words for a moment. In her eyes was a clear and lively look, free from the cunning and self - interest of a merchant, and the scheming and treachery of others. All that was there was honesty.
She didn't know why she nodded. Maybe she thought it would be nice to have a friend.
"Goodbye! Be careful on the way!" Yong Shanling stood at the door, waving her arm and saying goodbye to Wuna in the car.
After the car had long since disappeared, the smile on her face was replaced by a look of forbearance.
"Uncle Shu, you know about her daily life, right?"
The man beside her didn't refute. His gaze still fixed on her.
"Yes."
"So Uncle Shu, you don't really care about the plan, do you?" She began to feel confused. She couldn't see through this man in front of her anymore.
"When a person is extremely thirsty, having one drop of water makes them want a second, a third."
"And she is no exception. A person who craves friendship, suddenly surrounded by a group of friends, will get addicted to it."
"Even if she notices something is wrong, she doesn't leave, does she? She is also longing, longing for the last bit of emotion in her heart."
Suddenly, she hugged Mu Yijie and said in a muffled voice.
"You guys are so complicated. I really can't figure you out. Every time I seem to understand something, there's another perspective. I guess I should leave this kind of thing to Uncle Shu."
Mu Yijie hugged her back. The two became one, an inseparable entity.
"Silly girl, you'll understand when you grow up a bit more."
After Wuna's matter was over, she and Uncle Shu moved back home. But the difference was...
"Where should I sleep? Ahh, this is the wine I've always wanted to buy but never got. Wow, this bed is really nice. I really don't want to leave."
The annoying guy stayed. That's right, Cruz didn't leave.
Yong Shanling said gloomily, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Cruz unceremoniously opened Mu Yijie's expensive red wine, took a sip, and showed a look of happiness on his face.
"I came here to play with you guys. It's just that Wu Shu messed up my plan."
"Alas." She felt a headache coming on.
While they were joking around, a sudden ringing sound echoed in the air. She didn't look at who was calling. She just shouted towards the bathroom.
"Uncle Shu, there's a call."
The sound of water in the bathroom didn't stop.
"Answer it."
"Okay." She walked over from the sofa and picked up the phone.
"Ye Sen, what's up?"
The voice on the other end sounded tired and troubled.
"The amount on the bounty list keeps rising. It hasn't been removed."
She was a bit confused. Logically, Wuna wouldn't lie to them.
"Maybe she didn't have time to say?" She scratched her head in confusion.
"What's going on?"
The person inside opened the door and asked. He was wearing a bathrobe with his chest exposed. The water droplets on his hair trickled down, making him extremely attractive.
She swallowed hard. This was simply a sin... Then she immediately turned around. It wasn't that she hadn't seen him like this before, but it was rare to see him so openly. Her eyes kept darting towards Mu Yijie as she handed him the phone.
He listened to the news on the phone. There was no look of surprise on his face.
"How could he cancel the bounty order so easily? I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved without a face - to - face meeting."
Cruz felt a bit discouraged after hearing their conversation.
"Then wasn't helping Wuna for nothing?"
Mu Yijie hung up the phone, wiped his head with a towel, and sat down.
"At least she bought us a chance to negotiate. In the past, it would probably have been a big fight from the start."
She also sat down and leaned on his shoulder. "Uncle Shu, how do you know?"
"You've been so naughty and messed up his business. He won't be willing to let it go without getting something in return."
"Businessmen are all about profit. Look, the phone's ringing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang. She was a bit curious and picked up the phone.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, her look at Mu Yijie was a bit different.
"Uncle Shu, are you a prophet?"
He raised the corner of his mouth, tapped her on the forehead, and laughed. "Silly girl."
Then he picked up the phone and turned on the speaker.
"Hello."
"7 p.m. tomorrow. You choose the location."
The person on the phone hung up directly after saying that, leaving the two people beside him stunned.
Cruz couldn't help laughing. "Damn, this guy is so straightforward. I thought there would be a big fight tonight."
Mu Yijie leaned on the sofa, his fingers slowly tapping on the phone screen. The clear sound echoed in the air.
"Giving us the right to choose the venue. He's really not afraid." Yong Shanling admired the other person's confidence.
The night view of the city was quite different from its busy daytime. It was full of noise and joy. The lights on the road were shining brightly.
The neon lights on the high - rise buildings were colorful, illuminating the whole city like daylight, but it wasn't a romantic atmosphere.
The vehicles on the road stopped and started from time to time. The honking sounds were continuous. The people walking on the street were a dazzling sight.
The congested streets had a different kind of scenery. All the shops had their doors wide open, ready to welcome customers at any time.
Of course, the well - known Twin Towers in this city were extraordinary. With more than 200 floors, they were located in the city center. And the restaurant on the top floor was a well - known place.
But at this moment, the quiet atmosphere seemed a bit unusual. The five people in front of them were sitting one after another.
Wu Shu was wearing an ordinary black suit, but the evil aura on him was too strong. His presence was very intimidating. And beside him, Wuna took off her glasses and was wearing a black long dress, exuding a literary atmosphere.
She seemed out of place in this occasion.
Mu Yijie took the initiative and said, "Come on, what are your conditions?"
Wu Shu put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his mouth, and his thick figure looked a bit gloomy.
"Make Wuna a cultivator."
As soon as these words were said, even Mu Yijie was a bit surprised. He originally thought this would be a money - related deal. Sure enough, when a person has a soft spot in their heart, things are different.
