113: Lion's Demand
"There's such a thing!"
Ye Wuhuan heard this and deliberately put on a surprised expression. Then, he adopted a righteous demeanor, feigned a cold snort, and said with impassioned words, "Hmph! I didn't expect this religion, which originated in Goguryeo, to dare come to our great China to cause trouble and wreak havoc.
Big Brother Ren, although your little brother is not talented, he has a patriotic heart. If there's anything Big Brother Ren needs help with, just say the word. Your little brother will do his utmost to help Big Brother Ren and Jingjing eradicate this accursed Blood God Cult."
Qin Shou, who was standing by, was utterly astonished by Ye Wuhuan's performance. He thought to himself, 'Damn it, I have the divine skill of Genius Actor, yet I'm not as good at pretending as you! Don't you, the one surnamed Ye, have any idea who brought the Blood God Cult in?'
However, while Qin Shou didn't believe Ye Wuhuan, the simple-minded Ren Tianxing fully trusted him. He couldn't help but pat Ye Wuhuan's shoulder gratefully, saying, "I can't believe so many years have passed, Wuhuan, you've grown up. I'm already very happy that you have this intention. But Wuhuan, don't worry, the Blood God Cult's influence in the City has already been eradicated by us."
"That's good! Fortunately, there are Daoist masters like Big Brother Ren and good mayors like Jingjing; otherwise, the people of the City would have suffered."
Ye Wuhuan feigned a look of relief, letting out a long sigh, as if truly relieved.
However, despite how well Ye Wuhuan disguised himself, when he lowered his head, Qin Shou still keenly caught a flash of undetectable ruthlessness and malice in his eyes.
"By the way, Wuhuan, from your tone just now, it seems you already know Brother Qin. Tell me, how did you two meet?" Ren Tianxing looked at Ye Wuhuan with an inquiring expression.
"This—!"
For a moment, Ye Wuhuan was stumped by Ren Tianxing's question. He hadn't expected Ren Tianxing to suddenly ask about how he and Qin Shou met, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
Before Ye Wuhuan could speak, Qin Shou immediately chuckled, "Haha, Brother Ren, you might not know, but Brother Ye and I met at the Heaven and Earth..."
Ye Wuhuan was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Brother Qin, wait! Let's step aside to talk."
Qin Shou's words were cut short by Ye Wuhuan. Then, Ye Wuhuan directly pulled Qin Shou's arm, drawing him aside.
"The one surnamed Qin, that day you cross-dressed as a hostess at the club. If you tell, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"
Ye Wuhuan's expression was sinister, and his tone was somewhat unfriendly. He had never expected Qin Shou to actually plan to reveal what happened that night.
One must know that Ye Wuhuan had gone to solicit prostitutes that night.
Logically speaking, soliciting prostitutes wasn't that shameful, after all, men, especially Young Masters from prominent families like him, it was simply too normal.
But unfortunately, Ye Wuhuan had been pursuing Ren Jing for many years and had always disguised himself as a gentleman. If this matter were known by Ren Jing's brother, Ren Tianxing, he knew without a doubt that he would have no chance whatsoever.
Not to mention that Ren Tianxing was inherently upright and incorruptible and wouldn't agree. Ren Jing had also been lukewarm towards him for so many years; if this matter were known by Ren Jing, he would have even less of a chance.
And even if it was just soliciting prostitutes, the most humiliating part was that he had solicited a man. If this matter got out, where would Ye Wuhuan put his face?
Not only would he lose any chance of pursuing Ren Jing, but he would also become a laughingstock in the circle of top Young Masters and would no longer be able to mingle. Therefore, no matter what, he could not let Qin Shou reveal the truth of that day.
"Hehe, the one surnamed Ye, you're afraid of ruining your reputation, but I'm not. I don't care!"
Qin Shou shrugged, put on an indifferent expression, and continued, "To be honest, I cross-dressed that day because I took money from Ren Jing to assist the Police in solving the Blood God Cult case. I didn't expect you to take a liking to me, so I took the opportunity to extort some benefits from you. Do you think I'd be worried about telling this story?"
"This—!"
Ye Wuhuan was left speechless by Qin Shou's words. He had never expected Qin Shou to be an undercover agent arranged by Ren Jing. The situation had completely exceeded his expectations.
Ye Wuhuan felt that he had been careless and hadn't dodged. At this moment, he was like a mute eating bitter coptis, unable to express his suffering.
If it were truly so, then Qin Shou indeed had no need to conceal it. In fact, if he revealed it, others might even praise Qin Shou for making significant sacrifices to solve the Blood God Cult case, and they would look at him with even greater admiration. Thinking of this, Ye Wuhuan's face grew even more somber.
"Speak, what do you want?"
Ye Wuhuan narrowed his eyes, his tone chilling, knowing that in front of so many people, he couldn't do anything to Qin Shou. He could only stabilize Qin Shou first, then find a way to deal with him privately. Ye Wuhuan's plan was to first bribe Qin Shou, and after the banquet, immediately arrange for people to kill Qin Shou.
Qin Shou narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Hehe, Young Master Ye, I'm actually a very simple person; I just love money. As long as there's enough money, everything is negotiable. I helped the Police actually for money."
Qin Shou made no secret of his desire for money; he wanted Ye Wuhuan to know that he was someone who could be bought with money.
Qin Shou thought to himself, 'You son of a bitch, you beat Feng Meimei like that. Are the lives of ordinary people not lives in the hands of you powerful people? I'm going to rip you off today.'
Although Qin Shou was not a righteous person and his impression of Feng Meimei was only average, Feng Meimei was, after all, Guo Gang's beloved and also his university classmate.
More importantly, the Qin Shou before his rebirth was also someone bullied by the powerful, so he most hated scoundrels like Ye Wuhuan who flaunted their power and treated people like dirt. Today, he had to severely rip him off and vent his anger.
"One million, keep this matter to yourself." Ye Wuhuan lowered his voice, staring at Qin Shou with a slightly threatening look.
"Hehe, Young Master Ye, your watch alone costs several million. Is your reputation only worth one million?" Qin Shou sneered, meeting Ye Wuhuan's gaze without showing any weakness, completely fearless.
"Then you name a price!" Ye Wuhuan gritted his teeth.
"Ten times, I want ten million." Qin Shou made a gesture for ten.
"Ten million! You might as well just rob me!"
Ye Wuhuan's eyes widened. He had never expected Qin Shou to be so insatiably greedy, daring to demand ten million for such a matter.
"Hehe, it's okay if you can't afford it. But Young Master Ye, I think the story of you soliciting a man will be quite spectacular when it spreads to the top circles, hehe." Qin Shou shrugged, smiled indifferently, and turned to leave, intending to play hard to get with Ye Wuhuan.
"Wait!"
Ye Wuhuan grabbed Qin Shou, gritting his teeth, "Fine, ten million it is."
"Young Master Ye truly lives up to his name, so generous."
Qin Shou's face immediately lit up with a smile upon hearing this.
