Chapter 1699: Where On Earth Are You Touching?! (9)
Traceless raised an eyebrow upon hearing these words. “What sort of reward?”
Lu Nanze said after a long pause, “Sign a contract. How about you work for me for three years?”
Traceless narrowed her eyes and said without hesitating, “No way.”
Lu Nanze asked, “Why? Do you think your life is not worth this?”
He was obviously saying that to provoke her.
Traceless said with a derisive laughter, “Mr. Lu, I didn’t think you’d be this childish.”
Lu Nanze snorted.
She continued to say in a business-like manner, “Although my life is valuable, my art is even more so! Since I launched my career, I’ve always stolen whatever I wanted successfully. Hence, I can promise you one job.”
Lu Nanze: …!!
After all the effort he had put in tonight and jumping through all those hoops, the outcome was the promise of one job.
Lu Nanze frowned and narrowed his eyes. He stared at the girl and remarked, “Don’t you think this is a bit cheap of you?”
Traceless laughed icily and said, “If Mr. Lu feels that it’s not worth it, you can take me to the police station now!”
Lu Nanze replied, “It would be an embarrassment for me if I took you to the police station after rescuing you from the Li family villa. I’m sure you’re quite confident that I won’t do that.”
Traceless said, “Mr. Lu is indeed an intelligent man.”
Lu Nanze: …
This was probably the first time he felt this humiliated in front of a woman.
He frowned and suddenly turned around. After a while, he returned with a blueprint in his hand and handed it to Traceless.
She blinked and raised an eyebrow at once, asking, “The Liu family?”
The Liu family was an authentic powerful force of the underworld and had been growing quickly and consistently in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region in recent years. This had been especially so after Lu Nanze had come clean. The Liu family had taken over the lead and had now made a name for themselves, so everyone avoided them like plague.
Traceless gave out a frosty laugh and said, “Mr. Lu is indeed generous. You know, if I stole from the Liu family, I’d become a wanted person at once in the underworld.”
Lu Nanze spoke in an authoritative tone, “All you have to do is steal, and I will protect you from then.”
Traceless: …
He? Protect her?
Would she, Traceless, even need it?
When had she even been afraid of all these people?
She only wanted to avoid trouble, hence she had never gone into direct confrontation with them.
The Liu family was powerful in the world of organized crime, hence, the head of the Liu family also valued his own life. The surveillance and security system in their property was even more advanced than the Lu family’s.
It was going to be a tall order to steal from them. And this would even be tougher because of her injuries.
Traceless lowered her head and contemplated this. Lu Nanze then said, “If you take this job, we will no longer owe each other. How about it?”
She ruminated on this proposal. Then she looked up and said, “Done deal!”
Traceless hated owing anyone any favors, and this job was tough enough of a favor for saving her life.
On this note, she looked up and asked, “What do you want me to steal?”
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and said, “A stick from a 1000-year-old ginseng.”
Traceless: …
“Can’t you buy this from a ginseng seller? What is so special about the Liu family’s ginseng?”
Although 1000-year-old ginseng sticks were very valuable, it wasn’t as though no one could afford them.
Lu Nanze explained, “There are too many fake ginseng sticks floating around on the market, however, 1000-year-old ginseng sticks are rare. The Liu family’s ginseng is about the only one around that I can trust.”
Traceless: …
She lost strength. She had met people who stole precious treasures, but not someone who stole medicinal herbs.
