Chapter 197: Bargaining (5)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Because this rumor was targeting the royal family, Shen Miao had to remain anonymous. She didn’t want to implicate her family. This was her plan.

“Fortune comes from danger.” Shen Miao smiled. “Shopkeeper Ji, do you dare to do this business?”

Ji Yushu scratched his head and said like he was put on a spot, “I’m naturally very tempted by your offer, but the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop is not a tool for power game. If I let the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop get into trouble because of my greed, I’ll really be letting the predecessors down.” He cupped his hands and continued, “Nowadays, not many people are in the business of All Knowing Scholar. For the sake of the my predecessors, I can’t take the risk. I’m sorry, Miss Shen.” He stood up and bowed to Shen Miao. “The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop won’t do this business with you. If you still want to sell the information, I’ll get someone to write it down. When the Chen family replies me, I’ll get someone to inform you. As for where we’ll meet up, you can come to the pawnshop in ten days.”

After saying that, Ji Yushu smiled at her apologetically and turned to leave. Just as he was about to step out of the tearoom, Shen Miao’s voice came from behind. “Shopkeeper Ji, apparently, my offer is not attractive enough. What if I put the Shen family on the table?”

Ji Yushu was stunned and turned around.

The girl in purple lowered her head and looked at the teacup in front of her, as if she was appreciating a beautiful artwork. Her voice was calm, making the vibe in the tearoom strangely tense.

“If you agree to this deal, the Shen family will be your connection.”

… .

Upstairs, Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing were drinking tea when they suddenly heard a nervous voice. “Emergency!” They looked up and saw Ji Yushu running in.

He lifted the curtain and sat in front of the table. He poured himself a cup of tea. Then, he panted and said, “I’m scared out of my wits.”

“What’s wrong?” Gao Yang teased. “Didn’t you rush down to see the beauty? Why? Is she beautiful or not?”

“She’s beautiful. Terrifyingly beautiful.”

“That’s strange.” Gao Yang rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. “Could it be that the beauty is very bad-tempered and you angered her?”

“She’s more than just bad-tempered!” Ji Yushu said with lingering fear, “She’s simply a demon! Ahem, I’ve been an All Knowing Scholar for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone do business this way.”

“Isn’t it about the Chen family? Did she ask for too much money?” Gao Yang asked.

“She didn’t ask for money, but what she asks is ten times scarier than money.”

“What is it?” Xie Jingxing glanced at him. “If you don’t talk properly, I’ll throw you out of here.”

“Ahem, she wants to use the information related to the Chen family to exchange information with us. Do you know what the information she wants is? She wants to buy information about Prince Yu plotting a rebellion! Damn it!” Ji Yushu couldn’t help but curse. “She wants us to create false information for her!”

When Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing heard that, their expressions gradually became serious. Ji Yushu liked to play and have fun, so he probably did not know how dangerous the situation was. However, the two of them knew how dangerous it was.

This customer was really ruthless.

Ji Yushu was still shouting indignantly, “Why?! Why should I be someone else’s chess piece? If anything happens, it’ll be me who gets into trouble. My pawnshop will be the one to suffer. Does she think I’m stupid?”

“In that case, you can refuse her,” Gao Yang said.

Ji Yushu cleared his throat and said, “If I didn’t bargain with her, she wouldn’t have made a shocking offer. Do you know what that is?”

“What?” Xie Jingxing asked lazily.

“The Shen family. The Shen family will be our connection if this deal is done. Look at how much I helped you as soon as I came back. Don’t you think you need to thank me?” Ji Yushu said proudly.

The Shen family?

Xie Jingxing stared at him and said slowly, “Who came?”
