If it had been an ordinary person, hearing someone threaten them like that.
They would have been flustered and disoriented in an instant.
But Lin Muci was definitely not just any ordinary young girl.
When she heard the threat, her first reaction was:
"He's going to die at twenty-two?"
"Are you treating me like an idiot? Who can predict a person's lifespan?"
"Unless you poisoned him, how could you be so precise."
She scoffed.
"Besides, if Ling Qianhe dies, so be it."
"If he dies, there are plenty of people in this world who will be buried with him."
"As for me, I don't lack men."
"I'll just find another."
She looked at Madam Ling opposite her.
Her eyes showed no hint of panic!
Arrogant and beautiful.
With a pride that could kill without blinking.
Madam Ling had absolutely not expected to hear such words from Lin Muci.
Madam Ling was momentarily choked. She stared blankly at Lin Muci.
Lin Muci let out a cold laugh.
"What, you thought I'd care about him?"
Madam Ling truly hadn't expected it!
This young girl, so heartless.
Did Qianhe know she was so ruthless?
How could Qianhe like such a fierce girl.
He was blind!
Lin Muci nodded lightly, showing no respect.
"If there's nothing else, I should leave and get back to filming."
Madam Ling gritted her teeth.
"Aren't you curious about the whereabouts of his mother's ashes?"
"His mother's ashes, I've hidden them for so many years. As long as you have a child for him, and exchange it with the child, I'll return his mother's ashes to him..."
Lin Muci looked at Madam Ling as if she were looking at a fool.
Oh, no, Madam Ling was probably just a fool.
Lin Muci frowned, then told her bluntly.
"You think I'd believe you?"
"You're so old, why are you still so naive?"
"Who can guarantee that what you say is true?"
"Who can guarantee that the urn you give is real? No one can, right?"
"Do you take me for a fool, or are you actually intellectually disabled?"
Lin Muci's rapid-fire words left Madam Ling unable to raise her head.
This damned girl!
"Lin Muci!"
Lin Muci looked up directly. She looked at Madam Ling opposite her.
A hint of cold amusement in her eyes, her youthful sharpness fully revealed.
"The negotiation has failed."
"Hmm, don't worry, Ling Qianhe definitely won't let you off."
"You're dead."
"As for my only mercy to you, it's probably to sprinkle some water and burn some incense when you're finished."
"So you don't turn into a vengeful spirit, which would be quite annoying."
Madam Ling was truly infuriated to the point of distortion.
This damned girl, how could she be so infuriating?
Lin Muci looked innocent.
She was being infuriating. If Madam Ling had the guts, she should come and bite her.
...
Ling Qianhe was on the set. He was wearing headphones, and in them, Lin Muci's voice could be heard clearly.
"If Ling Qianhe dies, so be it."
"If he dies, there are plenty of people in this world who will be buried with him."
"As for me, I don't lack men."
"I'll just find another."
Lin Muci and Madam Ling both didn't know that the lounge where they met was actually privately set up by him, and it was equipped with listening devices. Therefore, Ling Qianhe could hear their conversation clearly.
So he was unhappy.
Ling Qianhe frowned.
He let out a soft hum, his expression becoming peculiar.
What did she mean by "find another"?
Who did she want to find?
...
Lin Muci happily returned to the set. Ling Qianhe pulled her into a corner, pressed her against the wall, and aggressively questioned her.
"Who do you want to find?"
Lin Muci was taken aback at first, then her heart sank, and she immediately realized something.
Oh no... he found out?
"You..."
"Did you install surveillance?"
Ling Qianhe let out a cold snort, his voice extremely proud.
"If I hadn't installed surveillance, how would I know you harbored such excessive thoughts? Tell me the truth, who exactly do you want to find?"
"Zhou Yuan'an, that failure who couldn't pass the exam?"
"Feng Yuting, that idiot who couldn't guess your identity?"
"Or that foolish little police officer who was framed and almost killed?"
"None of them can fight, none of them are as good as me!"
Ling Qianhe's words were, well... a bit too proud!
Was he that confident, that he was the best man in the world?
Lin Muci said,
"Since you installed surveillance, what are you going to do about your mother's ashes?"
"You can't let Madam Ling threaten you like this forever, can you?"
She should also have an open talk with Ling Qianhe about this matter.
She knew this was definitely a knot in Ling Qianhe's heart. And a major reason for his blackening was that his mother's ashes were in Madam Ling's hands.
Ling Qianhe looked up, his expression dark, like the night.
"She won't have the chance to threaten me anymore."
"The secrets of that cruise ship, I'm close to uncovering them."
Lin Muci wasn't entirely sure if Ling Qianhe could really do it.
Fortunately.
She still had a system to cheat with.
"Is what he said true?"
The system asked Lin Muci to exchange points again. Lin Muci flatly refused.
"No."
The system mumbled.
"Host, you're too stingy."
"Alright, he is indeed investigating the drug... If I'm not mistaken, he's probably going to open his pharmaceutical company."
"Ling Qianhe is the world's villain. He will definitely research those drugs that can threaten the entire world."
"It's about T800, which Zhou Yuan'an's father came into contact with, I don't know if you know."
"This kind of drug has severe side effects, but because Ling Qianhe has been injected with SZ637, he can instead produce a strange chemical reaction with T800, which is equivalent to completely neutralizing the negative effects of the T800 drug."
"In fact, in our system's database, besides being a top idol, Ling Qianhe has an even more resounding title."
"Plague King!"
"His power is so great that it has even affected other small worlds..."
"That's why the main system had to send you to this world to save him."
"If Ling Qianhe is not saved, then other worlds will have problems. This is something that he, as the main system, absolutely cannot tolerate..."
"Mmm hmm..."
The little system was suddenly gagged halfway through its explanation.
Lin Muci was slightly startled.
But her system's words made Lin Muci suddenly realize something.
Wait a minute.
If Ling Qianhe is so important, can she team up with Ling Qianhe to negotiate with the system?
If she completes the mission.
Either she stays and accompanies Ling Qianhe.
Or, she takes Ling Qianhe with her!
It was her fault for leaving him behind before.
But this time.
She would find a way.
She wouldn't abandon him alone again!
