Chapter 524: Chapter 524: A Well-Intentioned Reminder
Chapter 524 Goodwill Reminder
Mengyu suddenly thought of another question; if Mr. Lai hadn’t said those things, then how had they been spread around?
Thinking of his earlier statement of hating human traffickers the most, Mengyu suddenly realized a point: since he hated human traffickers so much, the intensity of his crackdown on them must be significant.
Consequently, to the human traffickers, he must be a thorn in their side. Therefore, it was highly likely that the ones spreading these words were part of the Human Trafficking Group!
Thinking of how she had wronged Mr. Lai and even had thoughts of throwing him into a coal mine to taste the bitterness of losing freedom.
In reality, he displayed masculine chauvinism but did not treat women as non-human.
Mengyu felt quite embarrassed. She took the initiative and poured a glass of white liquor for Mr. Lai and one for herself: “I’m sorry, Mr. Lai. I believe those vulgar words were not said by you. I’d like to apologize to you for having believed them.”
After saying that, she clinked her glass against Mr. Lai’s and then downed it in one gulp, even flashing her empty glass.
She was somewhat worried. What if he asked her where she heard those words from?
She surely couldn’t say that it was from her past life?
Who would’ve known Mr. Lai didn’t pursue the question at all: “Don’t worry about it. In our line of work, what kind of words have we not heard?”
Seeing Mengyu finish her drink in one gulp, he was immediately delighted: “Straightforward!”
He also downed his drink in one shot and then poured another for Mengyu: “Here, this one’s to you. You’re quite the woman. Jun’s wife needs someone like you.”
Mengyu smiled: In the future there’s the term ‘tough girl,’ and now she’s becoming one in advance.
“If Mr. Lai has never said those things, yet such words are being spread outside, I’m afraid someone must be trying to kill with a borrowed knife. Mr. Lai, you definitely have to clarify this rumor!”
Mr. Lai looked at Mengyu earnestly and nodded: “I will be careful. Thank you, Student Jiang. From now on, you are my friend.”
However, Mengyu was thinking that if Mr. Lai hadn’t said those outrageous things, he might actually be a good shield for Xiangyang County. She may have to consider protecting his children.
What she didn’t know was that, because of her well-intentioned reminder, Mr. Lai took this matter to heart and indeed prevented those people from seeking revenge through the relatives of the abducted.
Moreover, because of her goodwill reminder, Mr. Lai truly came to regard her as a friend.
That night, when Mengyu and her six companions returned to the courtyard at Dragon Head Ridge, they were all a bit drunk.
But despite being drunk, they did not forget to practice cultivation, and at midnight, they sat down for static cultivation.
Wang Huilan saw everyone practicing and was very envious; she wanted to practice too.
Seeing her expression, Mengyu knew what she was thinking. Considering her Fire Spirit Root, Mengyu pulled her into the room and set up an Array with the Five Elements Fan.
“I have something to tell you, and you must first swear not to spread it.”
Although Wang Huilan had only spent one day with the reborn Mengyu, she was a clever person and had long noticed something off about Mengyu.
Therefore, without a second thought, she immediately swore: “I, Wang Huilan, swear not to divulge anything that Sister Jiang Mengyu tells me tonight. Otherwise, I will let Sister Jiang Mengyu deal with me as she sees fit.”
Mengyu was pleased: “Good. I’ll tell you first that Shen Qi and the other three are my registered disciples, practicing ancient martial arts.”
Ancient martial arts, the experts of the martial arts world in legends?
Wang Huilan was shocked in her heart but kept her composure, looking eagerly at Mengyu.
“But actually, what they are learning is just a Cultivation Technique for the body. And I, am a Cultivator. That is, commonly known as an Immortal!”
An Immortal, Sister!
Wang Huilan was once again astounded.
