Chapter 3139: So We Have to Cooperate

Qiao Nian’s eyes narrowed. “What did he say?”

“He rejected it.” Lu Zhi looked at her. “Didn’t you already guess it?”

Qiao Nian remained silent.

She had indeed guessed it.

Lu Zhi placed his arms on the back of the chair and leaned back. “To be honest, I don’t understand you Country Z people.

“I clearly gave him better conditions than the Ninth Branch-Ye w.a.n.gchuan couldn’t give him these—but he rejected them without hesitation.

“I’m a businessman. Merchants pay attention to benevolence when business fails.

“Since we didn’t reach an agreement, he left after we were done talking.”

Lu Zhi looked at the girl deeply. “Do you believe me?”

Deep down, he felt that Qiao Nian would not believe him.

Because no matter how one looked at it, he had come to Beijing this time for Master Cheng’s Tsar. For this, he had even bought a mole…

Logically speaking, if he said that he did not force Master Cheng to stay, there was a high chance that no one would believe him.

Even Jian Jin did not stop calling him because she felt that Master Cheng was with him. Since Qiao Nian had come looking for him, there was no reason for her to believe him.

The corners of Lu Zhi’s lips had already curled up. That kind of light mocking and cold arc seemed prepared to withstand other people’s doubts.

He kept his eyes on the girl, wanting to see her surprise, suspicion, and finally anger.

But there wasn’t…

Qiao Nian stared at him for a few seconds. Suddenly, she pinched her eyebrows. Her voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e. “Master Cheng is missing.”

Lu Zhi was still waiting for her to question him. “I knew it since you came to look for me.” Didn’t she just want to ask where he had hidden Master Cheng?

Qiao Nian nodded expressionlessly. “Besides you, who do you think is most likely to go after him?”

Lu Zhi’s first reaction was that she was indeed suspecting him.

However, he quickly came to his senses after sensing the trust in the girl’s words. “What… do you mean?”

“Since you didn’t do it, and Beijing is such a big place, it’s impossible for a whole person to disappear for no reason. Someone must have kidnapped him.”

Qiao Nian wanted to pull up her baseball cap, but then she remembered she had taken it off. She simply pulled up the hood of her sweater.

“You know full well the Tsar’s importance. If it falls into the hands of a third party, the consequences will be too dire.”

Master Cheng wouldn’t give the blueprints and data voluntarily, but she couldn’t pin her hopes on sacrificing him to protect the Tsar.

She had to protect both him and this confidential project!

Qiao Nian looked at the person sitting opposite her and said lightly, “That’s why we have to cooperate.”

Lu Zhi was originally gloomy. So gloomy that he hated the entire world. He hated all of this to the point where he wanted to laugh.

However, at this moment, facing the girl’s 100% trust in him, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his chest.

“You…. believe me?” Lu Zhi had forgotten about Master Cheng and the Tsar. He desperately wanted to know the answer now.

Qiao Nian did not expect him to care about this. She was stunned before crossing her arms and raising her eyebrows. “Didn’t you say that you only talked to Master Cheng and didn’t keep him?”

Lu Zhi pursed his lips but did not make a sound.

He did say that.

So what?

He had said it, but he produced no substantial evidence.

“Since you said so, I’ll believe you.” Qiao Nian crossed her legs, her gaze unrestrained.

Lu Zhi just looked at her.

Sitting together, putting aside the wheelchair, their looks were really pleasing to the eye.
