Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 362 Master and Things They Shouldn’t Do_1

As a spy, Furukawa Shizuka had naturally heard of the notorious Red Lotus Society, and she was very curious about this mysterious organization that managed to survive in a place where even the underworld dared not be mentioned.

Of course, standing in Xiao Ming’s ranks, she thought it was an incredibly foolish act of courting death for her boss to provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.

"Actually, this organization isn’t as mysterious as you think,"

Back in the hotel room, Xiao Ming spoke as he lay half-reclining on the sofa, "It has managed to survive and grow simply by taking advantage of the unique circumstances here.

In other words, it can only survive here."

"What unique circumstances?" Furukawa Shizuka asked.

"A society of connections,"

Xiao Ming said, "Let’s say you have an important spy under you who gets caught, and you want to rescue him.

Then someone tells you that I have vast connections and can do many things ordinary people can’t do, what would you do?"

"I’d kill that person," Furukawa Shizuka curled her lip, "Once a spy is caught, it’s basically a death sentence unless their identity hasn’t been exposed."

Xiao Ming stared silently at her.

After a while, Furukawa Shizuka laughed and said, "Alright, alright! I’d approach you with the mindset of a drowning man clutching at a straw, bringing gifts to seek your help."

"Hmm, I would receive you very arrogantly," Xiao Ming continued, "I’d talk to you in circles with useless, lofty talk, telling you that I’m actually a celestial being descended to earth.

You’d soon grow impatient, and just as you were about to leave, you’d suddenly notice many intimate photos of me with important figures hanging on the wall, one of them being Ding Jianwei.

Let’s say Ding Jianwei is a bigwig in charge of captured spies.

What would you do then?"

Furukawa Shizuka’s eyes already lighting up, said without hesitation, "I would immediately apprenticeship myself to you, treating you as a real immortal.

Even if someone exposed you, I would step forward to testify for you and protect your reputation."

Xiao Ming smiled and nodded, "The people of the Red Lotus Society are just such ’immortals’."

"After all this trouble, that legendary ’Saint’ is just a ’master’ huh!"

"Exactly. Although it’s not ruled out that there are those who truly believe he is a celestial being, what is certain is that the majority of the merchants and notables who are willingly driven by the Red Lotus Society know that he’s a fraud.

This is like the proverbial ’Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai – one willing to inflict harm and the other willing to endure it.’

The Emperor’s new clothes, before being exposed, are the most perfect and splendid attire in the world."

"Then, the master seeking you out, what is that for?"

"So far, it seems unlikely that he’s out to harm me; nine times out of ten, it’s because of my relationship with the Infinite Society.

After all, for a broker, connections are a resource. Even if you’re adept at passing things from the left hand to the right, there comes a day when it’s not enough.

Perhaps, this master wishes for me to play the ’master’ role for once.

In short, they are the ones in need of me, so you don’t have to be afraid at all."

Furukawa Shizuka shook her head, got up, poured two glasses of red wine, and sat down next to Xiao Ming, "I’m not scared, I’m worried."

"Worried about what?"

"I’m worried you’ve kidnapped my dream and then irresponsibly lost it."

Xiao Ming was taken aback, meeting Furukawa Shizuka’s meaningful gaze, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Could it be?

Did I do something I shouldn’t have again?

As he was pondering, he suddenly felt Furukawa Shizuka’s body trembling, the red wine in her hand sloshing around.

Following her gaze downward, he saw a green snakehead poking out of his pocket, hissing as its forked tongue flickered.

Xiao Ming’s brows furrowed, and he called out discontentedly, "Mingyue!"

"What?" Mingyue walked out from the secondary bedroom, clearly annoyed.

"Who let you..."

"Sir!"

Furukawa Shizuka interrupted him, looking at Qing with a trembling voice, "I, I want to try it."

"There’s no need," Xiao Ming said, "It’s natural for women to fear snakes, and even for a spy, it’s not such a severe weakness."

"It’s not about my identity, I just want to face my biggest fear."

Furukawa Shizuka’s face was as pale as paper, but her speech grew more determined.

"Another stubborn one! Why be so harsh on yourself?"

Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Ming took Qing in his hand, "You don’t have to touch it, just get close enough for its tongue to memorize your scent."

Furukawa Shizuka put down her wine glass, swallowed hard, and slowly reached out her hand toward Qing.

Suddenly, Qing’s head which was slightly lifted, shot up high in an intimidating gesture, its tongue flicking even faster as if to threaten.

Furukawa Shizuoka’s face turned an even more translucent shade of white, a hint of blue creeping in, and her eyes quickly moistened, as if she was going to burst into tears from fright at any moment.

However, her outstretched hand only paused for a moment before continuing to move forward.

It took a whole four to five minutes to cross the short distance, with her fingertips finally stopping three to four centimeters in front of Qing.

Whether it was because Mingyue hadn’t given the command or because it felt secure in Xiao Ming’s palm, Qing didn’t attack Furukawa Shizuka. Instead, its tongue flicked rapidly several times over the tip of her finger.

The next moment, Furukawa Shizuka covered her face and burst into tears,

Crying as if she were heartbroken, yet also as if she were joyful, and even more so as if she were relieved.

Just then, Qingfeng came back, stopped stunned upon seeing the scene in the room, then approached Xiao Ming and whispered something in his ear.

Xiao Ming was dumbfounded.

Jiang Nanxi had indeed gone to the rooftop to comfort the heartbroken An Kefang, but that wretched girl also did something utterly unnecessary and infuriating.

She gave An Kefang a coat, claiming it was Xiao Ming who had asked her to deliver it.
