Beautiful CEO's Top Expert

Qin Shujie’s words echoed in his ears, and the man slowly fell into deep thought.

Soon, as if he had figured something out, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"You mean..."

"That’s right, I call this ’casting a brick to attract jade!’" Qin Shujie said nonchalantly, "Now that I’ve betrayed Jingang, Ye Xunhuan is almost completely off guard against me."

"In this way, with what I’m doing now, compared to before, which has the higher success rate?"

"Of course, it’s much higher now!" the man said without hesitation.

The man wasn’t foolish; he fully understood such a simple principle.

"So do you think that guy’s death was worth it or not now?"

"Qin Shujie, previously I thought you didn’t have much brains, but now it seems we have underestimated you!" The man couldn’t help but look at Qin Shujie with newfound respect, "But aren’t you afraid Jingang might escape with his life?"

"Escape with his life?" Qin Shujie laughed disdainfully, "Do you think, if it were you, would you be able to escape with your life?"

The man fell into silence.

Although it was true Ye Xunhuan was injured, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention Olivia being by his side, making it very unlikely for them to survive.

Seeing the man silent, Qin Shujie spoke again, "You couldn’t do it, much less him!"

"It seems you expected us to come looking for you?"

"Of course!" Qin Shujie said lightly, "You were betrayed by me, how could you not come to settle the score?"

"And I’m waiting for you, only when you come again can we continue to negotiate, continue to engage in deeper cooperation!" Qin Shujie said casually, "It’s just that you came faster than I expected!"

"Aren’t you afraid we’ll kill you outright and not cooperate?"

"Afraid!" Qin Shujie said honestly, "Life itself is a luxurious gamble, where there’s losing, there’s winning!"

"But now it seems, I’m quite lucky, and I seem to have won."

The man slowly exhaled a breath, "That’s right, you won!"

Qin Shujie laughed, feeling very happy and also very smug!

"Since you’re not going to kill me, we’re now friends." Qin Shujie said lightly, "As friends, we should sit down and talk!"

As he spoke, Qin Shujie slowly extended his hand with a gesture inviting them to sit.

The man, seeing this, didn’t stand on ceremony with Qin Shujie and sat directly on the sofa, "Qin Shujie, I trust you this time, but if you dare to cause trouble behind our backs again, then I assure you it won’t just be you dying, your wife and children will too!"

Faced with the man’s threat, Qin Shujie didn’t care at all; instead, he picked up a cigarette again, lighting one for himself, "Speak, what do you really want to do?"

"We want something!" the man immediately said.

"What is it?"

"The Taiji Seal!"

"I’ve never heard of it."

"It’s in your nephew’s hands."

"I’ll try to help you find it."

"Not try, you must find it." the man said firmly, "If you can’t find it, you will die all the same!"

"I can help you find it, but what do I want in return?"

"Head of the Qin clan, we can give you that." the man promised confidently, "We can even give you more!"

"But the condition is you need to help us get the Taiji Seal and kill Ye Xunhuan, though capturing him alive would be even better!"

Qin Shujie’s brows slowly furrowed, "Capturing him alive, do you think I would agree?"

"Why?"

"If it succeeds and I harm him terribly, if he lives, can I live in peace?" Qin Shujie said coldly, "If you were me, could you live in peace?"

"Him being alive is like a suspended sword hanging in mid-air, ready to drop and take my life at any time!"

"This you can rest assured, since we want him alive, naturally we have a way to ensure he won’t target you." the man said seriously.

"I don’t believe it!" Qin Shujie said coldly, "I want him dead!"

"You..."

"Either kill me now and wait for him to find you and kill you, or agree to my terms!" Qin Shujie interrupted decisively.

The man fell silent.

Seeing this, Qin Shujie didn’t say anything more, quietly waiting for the man to give him an answer.

After about five minutes, the man slowly spoke, "I can agree to your terms, but only if this succeeds!"

"Leave that to me!" Qin Shujie said casually, "Leave me a contact method, and if there’s any news, I’ll notify you immediately!"

"I can give you a bottle of poison, let him eat it, it will speed things up!"

"That could work, but that woman isn’t easy to deal with, right?" Qin Shujie said casually, "Do you think you can kill him in front of her?"

"Qin Shujie, are you planning to cause more trouble behind our backs, that’s why you won’t agree?"

"Of course, if you doubt me, I can help you with this, but if I fail, I die, and you will too!"

The man fell silent again; Qin Shujie now was like a piece of tough meat that was difficult to cut through, and he had no real leverage. Yet what Qin Shujie said inevitably made one fall into deep thought.

Seeing the man’s silence, Qin Shujie spoke again, "Haste makes waste."

"Fine, we’ll follow your plan, I want to see what tricks you’re up to." the man snorted coldly, "But I’ll have someone keep an eye on you!"

"Doesn’t matter!" Qin Shujie said indifferently.

The man didn’t say anything more to Qin Shujie and got up to leave.

Qin Shujie didn’t see him off, letting him leave on his own.

Once the man left, Qin Shujie immediately let out a long breath, feeling drained as if all his energy had been sucked out by something, slumping completely into the chair.

If Qin Shujie stood up now, he would see that his back was soaked in sweat.

Facing this man, Qin Shujie felt immense pressure, and he even thought he wouldn’t survive the night.

But now he stayed alive and managed to reach deeper cooperation with the other party.

"What exactly is the Taiji Seal?" Qin Shujie’s brows furrowed deeply.

Though Qin Shujie didn’t know what the Taiji Seal was, it was clear the other’s intentions focused on the Taiji Seal.

This made Qin Shujie believe that it must be some kind of treasure; otherwise, they wouldn’t want to seize it!

After walking out from Qin Shujie’s place, the man turned to look at the building once more, "Qin Shujie, when you are no longer of value, that’s when you will die!"
