"I, I..." Even someone as calm and intelligent as Miss Shen actually had a day in her life when she was unable to defend herself.

"Sorry, I was just lost in thought."

She wanted to find an excuse to reveal it, but Qin Zhuo refused: "You haven't answered me yet, is it good?"

Shen Ning: “…”

Suppressing the restless feeling of shame, he said calmly: "Mr. Qin has a natural appearance, so he is naturally good-looking."

Qin Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not comment on this answer.

A hand was extended in front of her, with a broad palm and long knuckles. "Where's what I want? Bring it here."

Shen Ning took out a purse. Because Qin Zhuo liked to wear dark colors, Shen Ning chose a black brocade with dark patterns as the base. The auspicious beast Qilin was embroidered on the front and back. The edges of the pattern were inlaid with gold threads to brighten it, and gold thread was added to the rope, and three blood-red agate beads were strung on it.

Apart from the mediocre embroidery skills, she really managed to achieve low-key and luxurious style.

Of course, she also put a lot of effort into the embroidery. Although it is not delicate enough, it is generally fine as long as you don't look closely. If it was really ugly, she wouldn't have taken it out.

"I am not good at sewing, so there may be some flaws. Please take a look. If you are not satisfied, I can modify it."

Shen Ning had to be very humble in asking for help.

Qin Zhuo took it, played with it in one hand and held the wine glass in the other.

She first looked at the whole thing, then at the embroidery, and laughed at it mercilessly: "Your embroidery skills have remained the same for ten years, and you haven't improved at all."

Shen Ning looked up in confusion. Ten years have passed like the past?

"Sir, have you seen my embroidery before?"

Qin Zhuo held the purse, which contained a stack of paper objects. He picked them up with his fingertips and vaguely saw that they were gold bills.

Besides his sister, this is the second woman in his life who gave him money to get rid of him.

"I have seen you." Qin Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ning, his eyes were dim and dark, and it was difficult to understand: "You are so young and your memory is not good."

Shen Ning: “…”

She really didn't remember. At her current age, she would not even be nine years old a few decades ago. Especially since it was a lifetime ago, how could she remember?

"Please tell me, sir."

Qin Zhuo had no desire to speak. He finished the wine in the glass, put it down, and took out the gold bills from his purse.

Five bills with a face value of one thousand taels, worth five thousand taels of gold. She said she would give half of her family fortune in exchange for his taking action, and she was really willing to do so.

"Five thousand taels to buy my hand, Miss Shen is very generous, but is Miss Shen thinking that the payment and goods will be settled in exchange for the money?"

Shen Ning lowered his eyes and said, "I said that half of the Shen family's profits in the future will belong to you."

Although she is a female businessman, she values ​​her promises and always keeps her word.

Qin Zhuo nonchalantly played with the gold notes, which were considered a huge sum of money for ordinary people, with a contemptuous smile on his face: "I am honored that Miss Shen values ​​my little power, but you are still too naive to think that paying a little gold and silver as a price is enough. There is no such good thing."

Shen Ning frowned. Her first reaction was that he disliked that her bargaining chips were not enough, but she really didn't have any heavier and more presentable bargaining chips.

Shen Ning was still thinking, and while she was absent-minded, a hot finger brushed across her cheek. The strange touch startled her and she came back to her senses suddenly, with her pupils trembling slightly.

When I looked up, I was immediately met with a pair of eyes that were dangerous and evil, piercing deep into the ink abyss.

"You should have heard of Qin's reputation. Aren't you afraid of being killed without a burial place if you are associated with me?"

Qin Zhuo was only thinking from his own situation, but Shen Ning knew more and thought deeply for a moment.

The reputation of being the Queen's younger brother and the uncle of the emperor, and the power of the Crown Prince's lineage, these can serve as a banner for Shen Ning to bully others, but the Crown Prince's lineage is not as glorious as it seems. On the contrary, the fight for the throne involves much greater risks than benefits.

If something happens to the prince, it will not just be the loss of his life.

Those in power fight for power and profit, and there is turmoil and bloodshed behind the scenes. Sometimes the minions are liquidated by their opponents before they even reach the decisive round and die silently.

If Shen Ning got on Qin Zhuo's boat, he would inevitably encounter greater risks in the future.

Shen Ning looked solemn, and she admitted that she had overlooked this point before.

However, she had thought that businessmen pursue profits, and risks and benefits coexist, and she was not afraid of risks.

Moreover, she had thought about this before when she guessed that the kidnapping was related to King Zhao. In this life, King Zhao had lost the Ministry of Revenue and an arm, and she could foresee the situation, so the outcome might be different.

The prince will not necessarily lose, and she will not necessarily die.

Besides, even if she did nothing, with Shen Shu around, she would probably not be able to have peace in the end.

Shen Ning calmly looked at the almost enchanting face of the person opposite him, and his mood was not affected at the moment: "Mr. Qin, can you tell me who kidnapped Shen Yu?"

Qin Zhuo pursed his lips slightly, as if he didn't want to mention it, but still answered: "They are all dead, and their identities cannot be found out."

Since Shen Ning chose to find Qin Zhuo, how could she let those people take away her ten thousand taels of gold easily?

So what Mo Lin sent out was just a box full of stones, and the gold had already been swapped out and deposited in a bank.

The reason why Mo Lin sent the box out was just to lure the snake out of its hole. They had been monitoring the Shen family and were sure that Shen Ning did not report to the police or hire thugs, but they did not expect that Shen Ning hired the most expensive thug.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Qin Zhuo's men had excellent investigative skills. They followed a few clues and found Shen Yu, brought him back, and destroyed the bandits' lair. In the end, no one would know that what Shen Ning sent out was just a cart of stones.

Qin Zhuo probably wanted to leave two people alive, but those people ended up committing suicide by taking poison.

Qin Zhuo was not satisfied with not finding the mastermind behind the scenes. Shen Ning was willing to spend a lot of money, but he couldn't even find the mastermind behind the scenes. Doesn't that make him seem incompetent?

Shen Ning asked again: "Then do you believe what I said before about King Zhao?"

When this was mentioned, Qin Zhuo looked at her with an unclear look, then picked up the wine jug and poured himself some wine.

"I've asked someone to check. Although King Zhao has never given up on finding a doctor to treat his leg, there has been no progress so far. As for whether he is really faking it, there is no answer yet."

Prince Zhao has been lying dormant for many years, so it is not easy to find any flaws, especially since no one noticed him before. There are no useful spies in Prince Zhao's palace, and the information obtained now may have been leaked by him, so it cannot be used as a basis.

After a pause, he laughed, his dark eyes gleaming with danger: "So, where did you get that information?"

If the news was true, it would be considered King Zhao's most core secret. How could it be known by an outsider?

Shen Ning: “…”

False lies need to be supported by entities, otherwise one lie can only be covered up by countless lies.

In the end she chose to remain silent and not speak, but she felt that she could not lie because the consequences were unpredictable.

Qin Zhuo waited for a long while, and got silence. He was not embarrassed, and raised his hand lazily: "Think about it slowly, and I will listen to your nonsense after you have thought it through."
