Chapter 46

“…”

Shi Qiuhong almost fainted after hearing that. She helplessly spoke, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not asking for you to help me regarding this.”

“Who’s talking nonsense?”

Lin Wu spoke with a righteous expression on his face, “Is there anything more crucial than the final wish of an old person? Don’t worry. I’m still a virgin, I avoid immorality and am full of energy. You are really the one profiting here.”

“Hehe…” Shi Qiuhong’s lips twitched. “Thanks, but there’s no need to.”

She had discovered that the earlier facade of this fellow, which appeared as though he wasn’t afraid of a honey trap (using a beautiful woman as bait), was most probably to encourage her further. Basically, he was just as hooligan-like as those other smelly men. In addition, he was completely shameless!

Still a virgin?

Only a ghost would believe this.

“Don’t be polite. Don’t worry, I won’t be clingy, just give me $10 million. In the future, I’ll do my best and use a billion of my sperm to repay you. You will earn a profit of 10 times.” Lin Wu chortled.

Shi Qiuhong speechlessly glanced at him. “I said, there is no need.”

“What a pity.” Lin Wu intentionally sighed with pity, but he wasn’t discouraged at all. In any case, he did so deliberately. It would be for the best if this woman disliked him. What would happen if she decided to cling on him?

“Since I can’t be of any help, I will bid farewell then.”

After speaking, Lin Wu stood up. He took the crutch and prepared to leave.

“Ai, ai, ai. You are leaving now?” Shi Qiuhong hurriedly called out.

Lin Wu glanced at her and casually spoke, “I don’t have yin-yang eyes, and you also don’t want me to give you a child. Can I still do it? (我能干吗)”

“…”

Shi Qiuhong’s eyelids twitched slightly.

This fellow, did he really think that she didn’t hear it correctly?

The last sentence he spoke was clearly, ‘can I still do it?’, and not ‘what can I still do? (我还能干吗)’.

If she replied ‘you can’t’, this fellow would simply turn and leave. If she replied, ‘you can’, the scenario would then head into a direction similar to most AV videos.

Out of all the men she had met, this fellow was simply the one that gave her the most headaches. Not only was he crafty, but he was also mean. He absolutely refused to suffer any disadvantages and even liked to play the hooligan secretly.

Up until now, this fellow wasn’t even willing to take the initiative to introduce his name!

(All men are pigs!)

Shi Qiuhong inhaled deeply and asked again, “You really don’t have the yin-yang eyes?”

“I really don’t.” Lin Wu shrugged.

“Forget it then…you can leave.” Shi Qiuhong helplessly sighed and leaned weakly against the sofa.

Lin Wu glanced at Shi Qiuhong and continued, “But I know a fellow who can converse with ghosts. If you are willing to pay, I can ask her to provide you with some help with those ghosts.”

“Is this true?” Shi Qiuhong’s beautiful eyes brightened. Her pale face expressed a hint of excitement.

“Why should I lie to you? (骗你干吗)” Lin Wu shrugged.

The corner of Shi Qiuhong’s eyelids twitched. She pretended that she didn’t hear the ‘why'(吗) and spoke with a face filled with gratitude, “Thank you. After the matter is solved, I’ll immediately pay up the $10 million.”

“Why pay only after the matter is solved?” Lin Wu lazily spoke, “You can pay a portion as a deposit first. After the matter is settled, you can finish paying the rest.”

“This…”

Shi Qiuhong had a look of difficulty on her face. “I don’t have $10 million now…”

Lin Wu laughed. “If you don’t have the money, why were you talking so big?”

“But my grandpa has.”

Shi Qiuhong hurriedly spoke, “Last month, my grandpa spent tens of millions of dollars to purchase a bunch of antiques. All the fluid funds in my family were exhausted, and we even had to sell off some real estate. But I don’t know where he hid the money. After you meet my grandpa, you can ask him where it is. At that time, you can pick a few of the antiques too.”

Yet, Lin Wu didn’t say anything. He was surveying Shi Qiuhong from top to bottom and couldn’t help but click his tongue and sigh, “I couldn’t tell that a delicate pretty thing like you is actually so astute.”

“I really don’t have $10 million…” Shi Qiuhong helplessly spoke.

“The two of us have chatted for so long, but you have not paid anything at all. It feels like a bounced cheque.”

Lin Wu chortled, “Leaving aside whether there’s a bunch of antiques or not. Even if there really is, they are all hidden away by your grandpa. You cannot find them, right? So why did they become my rewards now?”

Shi Qiuhong started slightly. “But you wouldn’t know if I didn’t mention it.”

Lin Wu shrugged. “That might not be true. Maybe after I rescued your grandpa, he might directly give me all his antiques because of his gratitude to me.”

“You…” Shi Qiuhong couldn’t help but be flustered. “What do you want then?”

Lin Wu didn’t say anything. He merely touched his chin and surveyed her.

Although she couldn’t see his gaze behind his shades, Shi Qiuhong still felt that he was looking at her body. Her expression involuntarily turned unsightly. “You want me?”

“Stop dreaming.”

Lin Wu rolled his eyes and spoke, “I already have a wife that’s prettier than you. I have no interest in you. If there really are antiques, all of them will belong to me. After that, you will help me sell them off. I just want $20 million.”

“$20 million?” Shi Qiuhong frowned. “Isn’t that too much? Many of those antiques are private collections sold only through auctions. When my grandpa bought them, he spent a huge amount of money, but it’s hard to get back to the original price if we sold it normally. I don’t even know if the amount can reach $20 million.”

Lin Wu smiled as he spread out his hands. “It’s fine then, I’ll take whatever there is. If the amount is below $20 million, everything will be mine. If the amount exceeds $20 million, you can take the surplus.”

He wasn’t soft-hearted at all.

If he didn’t help, Shi Qiuhong wouldn’t even be able to find the antiques. The possibility of selling them for money wouldn’t even exist.

In addition, he could already tell.

This woman was basically someone with extensive experience!

From the start until now, she hadn’t suffered any disadvantage or lost even a single cent. So, did she expect him to help just from her empty words alone? He hadn’t even seen the shadow of the $10 million she spoke of in the beginning.

What a honey trap… What a ruse of self-injury to gain his trust… If Lin Wu were that naive, she wouldn’t even need to put in anything in capital.

Truly, the human heart was hard to fathom.

“Alright then…”

Although Shi Qiuhong hesitated for a while, she still gritted her teeth and nodded with reluctance. However, she was silently heaving a sigh of relief in her heart. Luckily, this man only asked for $20 million.

“Okay, let’s hope our cooperation is a joyful one.” Lin Wu smiled and stretched out a hand toward her.

Shi Qiuhong felt some contempt, glancing at his pig’s hoof (his hand), but she still stretched her hand to grip it.

“Oh ya, I forgot to ask you.” Lin Wu held her icy little hand and suddenly spoke with curiosity, “Earlier, if I didn’t explain and let you misunderstand that the thing I want is you, would you have agreed?”

“Impossible. At most, I will think of another solution.” Shi Qiuhong shook her head. She cast another glance at their hands and sighed, “You are not letting go yet?”

“Cough, I can tell that your hand is a little cold. I’m just helping you warm it up.”

Lin Wu spoke with a straight face before letting go of her hand, “Actually, even if you said okay, I wouldn’t have agreed. After all, I’m someone with a wife; I can’t mess around.”

“You have a wife, but you are still a virgin?” Shi Qiuhong finally found an opportunity to retaliate. “Don’t tell me your wife is Lu Shaoyan? That’s truly a coincidence… How many males in the country treat Lu Shaoyan as their wife?”

“Che, it’s only a matter of time.”

Lin Wu casually waved his hands. “Alright, I will take my leave first. Tonight, I’ll bring that fellow over, and I will give you a call when we are here. After the matter is settled, you can just prepare the $20 million.”

“…Understood!” Shi Qiuhong felt worry gripping her heart after she heard this.

Originally, she had thought that just by spending $10 million, she would have been able to find the antiques and even save her grandpa. However, she didn’t expect the amount to double. Most probably, even if she sold all the antiques, the amount of money in surplus of the $20 million wouldn’t be much.

Lin Wu could hear her dissatisfaction, and his lips involuntarily curled. It seemed like the amount of money he would be hoodwinked of wasn’t much.

During the night, he would bring Xiao Qin over and get her to ask the location of the antiques. He would be rich then!

“Bye bye.”

Lin Wu waved his hands in a good mood. He then took the crutch and walked out.

Just when the door closed, he saw Li Luyao standing not so far away. She had her head lowered and was looking at her phone, seeming as though she didn’t notice anything that happened here.

Lin Wu suddenly felt a stir in his heart, panicking subconsciously, feeling like she almost caught him in an adultery act.

(Something’s wrong. I didn’t even do anything, so why am I feeling guilty?)

Lin Wu silently criticized himself and walked toward Li Luyao after that. “Luyao, why are you here?”

When Li Luyao heard that, she inclined her head and glanced at him, not feeling shocked at all. She cast another glance at her phone and nodded. “You were only in there for 8 minutes and 30 seconds, that’s pretty fast.”

“Ha?”
