BXBX NOVEL Chapter 281 - The Intelligential Transaction
It was just an unintentional joke, with no intention to look into Qinghu’s past. She felt sorry and had to be a listener.
Then, she would swallow everything about Qinghu and never let a third person be informed.
“I know you’ve been wondering who the real boss of Peach Blossom Dock is. Little girl, there are some people I want you to avoid. The less you know, the safer you’ll be. If Sanjue Hall thrives to be able to compete with Peach Blossom Dock one day, I promise I’d tell you who he is. But I have to say that Peach Blossom Hall is the least important part of his power,” Qinghu said seriously and sincerely.
Lin Mengya blinked. “The top group of killers is that one’s least important power?
“How powerful could he be?”
When she was about to ask further, Yunzhu was seen through a bamboo curtain.
But she seemed to be leading a couple of people. Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and stopped her intention to go further.
“Hall Master, here’s a guest insisting to do a business with us. So I was bold to bring them to the inner yard. Please forgive me for not informing you ahead of time.”
Lin Mengya couldn’t see who they were through the curtain. She gave Qinghu a gesture, who immediately got her meaning and deliberately lowered his voice to speak.
“Rules should work. You didn’t let us know. It’s your neglect of duty. Customers are always right. Take your punishment later.”
His lowered, rough voice sounded frighteningly cold.
Yunzhu knelt down and slightly shivered at once. Lin Mengya and Qinghu were the best actors. The former was overwhelming while the latter put the shoe on the right foot.
In the future, everyone in the know about it would believe that the Master of Sanjue Hall was not a nobody.
“Yes, I understand.”
Yunzhu stood up, her voice still trembling with fear.
“I’m sorry but what big deal do you want to make with me?”
After Yunzhu left, the man waiting outside slowly approached.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya saw the slim figure that was inexplicably familiar.
Especially when the man spoke, she immediately felt afraid of being found out.
“For one thing, I want to know how many great doctors there are in the world. For the other thing, I want you to find them. No matter how much you want, I can afford it.”
“Long Tianyu!” Lin Mengya’s heart was racing immediately!
“Why is he here?”
Lin Mengya wanted to leave but she realized that there was a bamboo curtain between them and that she needn’t feel scared at all.
Besides, Qinghu was covering her. “Why not wait and see what he wants.”
“How generous you are! But Sanjue Hall only sells information. As for whether or not they’re available, alive, or dead, it’s not our business. If you want to find them, you’d better give your business to an escort agency. I’m refusing your business. Please leave.”
Long Tianyu was standing in the courtyard and his narrow eyes were focusing on them.
Sanjue Hall, a new-rising power, sprang up just a few months ago.
He heard that lots of capable people with grave crimes were employed by Sanjue Hall. However, the one behind the Hall was omnipotent to erase those records of their crimes, leaving no traces in the least.
Even the government was not clear where they came from.
Few people had seen the master of Sanjue Hall. The Hall Master had to be a mysterious person, they said. What was happening showed that the Hall Master was indeed a little weird.
“Hall Master, I suppose you must know who I am. As long as you can give me what I want, I can afford whatever you want.”
Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly at the figure behind the curtain. It was still a new field of selling intelligence.
But there was a promising future for it, as long as it could carry on.
It would be better if they would like to join him. But he would rather remove Sanjue Hall as early as possible if they had an ambition not belonging to them!
“Haha... How humorous and deep-pocketed you are, Your Highness. But I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t afford to offend the royal family. I think we’d better not cooperate this time. Yunzhu, show His Highness out. And when customers in relation with the court come here, you’d better show them out.”
Long Tianyu had never imagined that the Master of Sanjue Hall would be so conceited.
The Master wasn’t scared of his identity, and what’s more, by this chance, broke off relations with the court.
That was interesting. It proved that the Master of Sanjue Hall was a brave, astute, tough person instead of being insatiable.
“I’m sorry to be abrupt. You have your rule, so let’s go with your rule. The information about those great doctors in the world is enough for me.”
To Lin Mengya’s surprise, Long Tianyu apologized and made peace instead of going off in a huff, as he was such a proud man. For the first time, she thought that Long Tianyu was not who she thought of him to be.
Lin Mengya didn’t say anything, showed Qinghu her attitude written on a paper, and let him tell Long Tianyu.
“You’re too serious, Your Highness. Yunzhu, lead His Highness to a seat and get him a cup of tea,” Qinghu said in a plain voice, showing no emotions.
Long Tianyu sat on a mahogany chair designed for customers outside, and at the same time, he was looking up and down at the house.
It was designed simply and magnificently. Obviously, the Master of Sanjue Hall was supposed to be an ambitious man. For no reason, he had a good impression of the Hall Master.
“Your Highness, here you are. The Hall Master is not in good health. The faster the better.”
Yunzhu, while smilingly serving a cup of scented tea, reminded Long Tianyu with good will.
He nodded when he took the tea and put it aside.
“Since you want information about great doctors, I guess that someone in your family must be not in good health. You know, doctors are often masters in different fields. So what kind of doctor do you want, Your Highness?”
Lin Mengya made the assumption that Long Tianyu was seeking doctors for the emperor.
“He doesn’t believe me? Or he doesn’t believe my profession so he tries to find someone better?”
No matter which one was right, Lin Mengya still thought of herself to be looked down upon by Long Tianyu.
“A kind of difficult and complicated disease. As for other reasons, I don’t think you should ask. I just want intelligence about those capable doctors. Here’s a thousand in gold as down payment.”
He who had wealth spoke louder than others. He seemed to be asking her to take his money.
But Lin Mengya wouldn’t let go of any chance to earn money. So she told Yunzhu to get the information he wanted.
“Here are 118 doctors, popular or reclusive. A thousand in gold is enough to pay for it. But there’s a Saint Doctor living in your house, right? I have to say, he’s the best in the world.”
Immediately, Long Tianyu’s slashing eyes were rushing through the bamboo curtain to see who the one behind it was!
Only a few people knew that Baili Rui was grounded in his house.
But the Master of Sanjue Hall knew this. “How much do they know?”
“Well, I have to say, never try to investigate those things you shouldn’t know about. Otherwise, troubles would come to you.”
The guards standing behind Long Tianyu held their weapons more tightly.
“Sanjue Hall is frighteningly resourceful. Their information network seems to be placed everywhere!”
“You’re funny, Your Highness. How many people do you think would be really willing to tell you the information about those great doctors? The day has eyes, the night has ears. You’d better be careful, Your Highness. Unless someone comes to pay us a high price for the information about you, Sanjue Hall won’t tell him easily. Don’t worry, Your Highness, few people would know. Sanjue Hall is not a charity hall.”
Long Tianyu looked sullen. He was close to the figure behind the screen, but he couldn’t see through it at all.
He waved to stop his guards.
From the moment of entering the house, Long Tianyu had already sensed lots of traces of aura from dozens of capable people. If there was a fight, it would do him no good.
Besides, few people would try to find out such secrets. As the Hall Master said, only a few people could afford it.
“All right. Since it is so, I’ll leave you now. See you again in the future.”
Then, Long Tianyu left the back yard of Sanjue Hall with his people.
The figure behind the bamboo curtain always made him feel a little strange somehow.
But none of the men he knew were similar to this one.
“Where does he come from?”
“He’s already gone far away. Little girl, just relax.”
Qinghu teased her while shaking his head. He picked up the teacup on the table with his long fingers and lightly took a sip.
Lin Mengya’s palms were already in a sweat. Others didn’t know, but she knew how difficult it was to manage to deceive Long Tianyu.
Especially face to face.
When finding no trace of Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya immediately let out a long breath.
She patted herself on the chest with her small hands. “How dangerous it was! Thanks to Qinghu, I didn’t expose myself.”
“Why would he want to find great doctors? For His Majesty? What do you think?”
Lin Mengya found no other reason besides to treat the emperor.
“I think so. But Prince Yu seems to have little belief in your medical skills!”
Qinghu lazily sat aside and tried to stir up trouble. His eyes exposed his intention to enjoy a show.
