Chu Xiaoang slowly stirred his tea with a teaspoon.
His gaze remained fixed on Qin Siyang's face.
He knew that look in Qin Siyang's eyes all too well.
It was no bluff.
He truly wasn't afraid to die.
Even Chu Baxing beside him was shaken by Qin Siyang's presence and began taking him seriously for the first time.
Tang Wangong's face, meanwhile, was filled with worry.
The entire Conference Room fell into an agonizing silence.
A moment passed.
Chu Xiaoang let out a long sigh and spoke.
"Qin Siyang, there aren't many people who leave me at a loss. You're one of them."
"And you're just a wet-behind-the-ears brat. How embarrassing."
"Name your price."
Chu Xiaoang uncrossed his legs and shook his head, conceding.
Qin Siyang also let out a long breath and chuckled twice.
He had just been gambling with his life.
But who would gamble with their life if they didn't have to die?
Seeing Qin Siyang's relief, Chu Xiaoang raised his eyebrows helplessly again.
"Commander Chu, are you willing to negotiate properly now?"
"I don't have much choice."
"All right. Then let's negotiate properly."
Qin Siyang stood and returned to his seat.
"Fifty thousand points. I think that's a fair condition, so I'm leaving it unchanged."
Chu Xiaoang nodded. "No problem. I can add another condition and guarantee that Chu Baxing won't overtake your points before school starts."
Qin Siyang smiled and waved a hand. "Thank you for the kind offer, Commander Chu, but there's no need. Let him hunt all he likes. If his points surpass mine, it'll mean I wasn't good enough."
"You're really that confident?"
"Commander Chu, I'm not someone who makes empty boasts just to save face."
Chu Xiaoang considered this briefly, then looked at Chu Baxing. "What do you think?"
Chu Baxing
