She could use him to level up!

However, after a while of fighting, Mei Shu realized that the system in her mind had remained silent the whole time.

She understood that this was probably because her opponent’s level was lower than hers, so there was no room for improvement. As a result, Mei Shu lost interest in the match and decided to take control by firmly subduing her opponent.

“I came here to discuss business with you, not to fight. If you’re willing to cooperate, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you know the consequences,” Mei Shu said calmly, her words carrying a different kind of threat.

This made Lu Ming, who had been in the underworld for years, finally realize how troublesome Mei Shu could be.

“Alright, you can let me go, and I’ll listen to what you have to say!” Lu Ming surrendered.

Mei Shu released him, waiting for him to stand up from the ground. She then spoke leisurely, “I believe you helped fabricate my video, right?”

Lu Ming was taken aback, his gaze shifting uncomfortably elsewhere. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t know?” Mei Shu sneered. “I’m afraid your employers don’t know that the video was forged by you, do they? Do you know a person named Huang Rui, or should I say, Yellow Hair?”

Lu Ming trembled, unable to control his gaze as he looked at her. “What are you trying to say?”

“I think you know what I want to say,” Mei Shu said calmly. “You were hired to spread the video and tarnish my reputation. You must have earned quite a bit of money from it. I forgot to mention that the police have already discovered that the video was fake.”

“This is impossible!” Lu Ming’s voice trembled with disbelief. “The video isn’t fake. No one could tell! It’s absolutely impossible!”

“Then why did the police arrest Yellow Hair and the real woman from the video?” Mei Shu asked casually. She sat down in a chair, propping her legs up and looking at him nonchalantly.

Lu Ming’s mind was in turmoil. He realized that Yellow Hair, who was currently being questioned by the police, would probably reveal his involvement sooner or later.

He thought hard and, in the end, fixed a malevolent gaze on the young girl in front of him. “Are you here to give me a warning? Is that it?”

“Of course not. I’m here to make a deal with you,” Mei Shu smiled. “1 know your wife’s family has quite some influence. Even if you get arrested by the police, your wife will probably use her connections to bail you out. However, I have the video from earlier as evidence, so it would be wise for you to cooperate.” “What do you want me to do?” Lu Ming stared at her, his eyes no longer filled with contempt but rather with suspicion, as if he was looking at a venomous snake.

Mei Shu didn’t mind his gaze and said casually, “I want you to use your connections to visit Huang Rui in the police station, coordinate your statements with him, and then spread some rumors.”

Inside the car.

Lu Si was starting to get impatient.

He loosened his tie and casually tossed it onto the back seat, making a deliberate loud noise.

Up front, Jiang He understood his intentions and quickly said, “I’ll go check on Miss Mei. Please wait here, Mr. Lu Si.”

Lu Si turned his head to look out of the window without saying a word.

Jiang He didn’t waste any more time and promptly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. Little did he know that just as he reached the door, he would bump into Mei Shu as she was coming out.

Their eyes met, and Jiang He immediately flashed a brilliant smile. “Miss Mei, you’re finally out! Mr. Lu Si was really worried about you.”

He whispered the last part to Mei Shu.

He didn’t have the courage to let Mr. Lu Si know that he had been talking to Miss Mei behind his back!

Although everything he said was true!

Mei Shu thought that they had already left and didn’t expect them to have waited for her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she decided to bypass Jiang He and walked directly to the back seat of the car.

Lu Si heard the noise and reached out to grab the tie that was lying on the seat. He made a “please” gesture, and finally, a faint smile appeared on his tense face. “Is everything settled?”

Mei Shu shook the check in her hand. “Five million. This guy, Lu Ming, has learned his lesson. When he helps me sort everything out, 1 won’t hold a grudge.”

Lu Si nodded lightly and said, “Would you like to have dinner? You mentioned earlier that you would treat me.”

Mei Shu was slightly surprised. “You waited here for me just for a meal?”

The Lu family certainly didn’t lack food and drink.

Sometimes Mei Shu couldn’t understand why Lu Si was so good to her for no apparent reason.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea and couldn’t help but ask, “Ah Si, can 1 ask you a question?”

“You can ask,” Lu Si said candidly.

Mei Shu silently activated the mind-reading ability in her system and asked seriously, “Have you fallen in love with me? Like, in a romantic way.”

[Master, 1 have activated the mind-reading function for you. The target is locked on Lu Si, with a one-minute time limit.]

Mei Shu narrowed her eyes and waited quietly for Lu Si’s most honest answer from his heart.

“No.”

[No, how could 1 possibly like you? 1 won’t like anyone.]

Lu Si’s voice, along with his true thoughts, echoed in her ears.

The one-minute time limit had just ended.

Mei Shu breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.. Now 1 can feel at ease with our interactions!”
