Imperial Treasure

Chapter 689 - 436: New Foreign Language, People Under Foot

Cao Yu had eaten as well.

Because the other party had eaten.

How could one escape on an empty stomach?

The three of them ate the biscuits and drank water or Red Bull at a leisurely pace..

Ming Lanyuan suddenly asked, "Are you from MEID? We always thought you were with Ghost Teeth or White Blade."

White Blade, an organization adept at major international finance and smuggling cultural relics and artworks, also involving drugs...

The other party chuckled, "Who would have thought that Miss Ming, a forensic expert, would have such high-level access to even know about MEID?"

He did not directly answer Ming Lanyuan’s question.

"If I were just an ordinary forensic expert, you wouldn’t have me sitting here and offering me food and drink," Ming Lanyuan said casually, looking around at her surroundings.

"Indeed," the man in the black robe smiled, "Your medical skills are among the top ten in the world, and you are still so young. Our organization is in great need of talents like you."

Clearly, the value of Ming the Great Beauty lay in her medical skills—a top doctor could save ten or even twenty or more elite core members or even bosses, making her worth incalculable.

In the twenty-first century, talent is most important.

Ming Lanyuan laughed, "Then I’ll have to give it some serious thought. Men like you don’t cherish things that come too easily.. Besides, I have to see if the organization currently employing me can save me.. If they can, I would be at a great loss."

What kind of woman was this, really?

A woman full of confidence and frightfully accurate, yet fearless.

Extraordinarily charming.

The man in black chuckled, "You’ll see who wins and who loses..." With that, he turned to Cao Yu, "Young Master Cao, as the most prestigious noble person among us, can’t you be a little more generous and lend a helping hand to our impoverished organization?"

"As far as I know, MEID ranks in the top ten among international organizations. Even the funds amassed by Ghost Teeth and White Blade are extremely substantial, so why worry about the Cao Family bleeding.. Moreover, aren’t you aware that most of these so-called noble families only sound good in speech? In reality, the funds they have at their disposal don’t even match what you earn from a single case..."

Cao Yu spoke clearly, his features bright and sharp under the dim light, exuding the grace and noble aura of a dashing young master.

Ming Lanyuan watched lazily, quite enjoying the show, nibbling on a biscuit as she watched—it was one thing to eat, but the crisp crunch of the biscuit echoed...

The man in black glanced at her, then addressed Cao Yu, "Young Master Cao is truly modest. These days, it’s rare to find young heirs with such responsibility, capability, and humility...."

"I can be even more modest... Can you let me go?" Cao Yu said indifferently.

"Hehe~ I cannot," the man in black stretched in a yawn, sighed, "Honestly, I don’t want to do this tiresome task. After all, both of your skins are too delicate, and we are not allowed to act rashly.. My orders are to get Young Master Cao to nod within an hour; if the time exceeds without agreement..."

"If it’s money you want, you can consider contacting my Cao Family to prepare the ransom now..."

"It’s not about the money," the man in black laughed, "Indeed, as you said, we are not short of money right now, but we lack a partner... such as your influential uncle in the United Kingdom~"

Cao Yu’s eyes darkened.

Crunch, the sound of someone biting a biscuit came through again, and both Cao Yu and the man in black turned to look at Ming Lanyuan, who looked innocent and carefree, "Hmm? Keep going.. What, I can’t eat?"

"Of course not, please help yourself," the man in black said.

Cao Yu turned his face away, muttering two words under his breath.

Glutton.

With an expression full of disdain.

"So, Young Master Cao, are you willing to do us the favor, give a call to your uncle~ Or should we consider having your sister join us here too.."

Cao Yu tilted his head, speaking lightly, "But you made a mistake, didn’t you?"

"Indeed, we made a mistake. The Cao siblings lived up to their reputation, never allowing both to fall into danger at the same time. It seems that even this time, both of you appearing together was done behind your family’s back.. However, a failure once doesn’t mean we can’t succeed a second time.. You understand my meaning," the man in black said.

Cao Yu was silent for a long while, took a sip of water, and said, "Okay, but you need to keep it quiet here.. I don’t want to be having a conversation with my uncle with a woman nearby munching on biscuits so unrestrainedly and making sounds like a rat eating chips.. That would be too rude.."

The corners of the man in black’s mouth curled up as he laughed, "Of course, but I think Young Master Cao is also being rude to the lady. Miss Ming, what do you think~"
