Lu Sinian, what did you just say…?
Could it be that the renowned figure was right here?
And a woman at that?
This… this is impossible!
Based on what Lu Sinian had just said, he hadn't misunderstood, but this was simply too shocking, he truly couldn't believe it.
The Lord of Hell, that was the Lord of Hell! It was Mu Yinyin?!
This… this…
His mind was a mess.
He couldn't figure it out or accept it.
Li Ze took a slow breath and once again fixed his gaze on Mu Yinyin.
"You… you are…"
With just these few words, he found himself unable to utter the other four.
Mu Yinyin nodded faintly, "It's me."
Li Ze’s eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Mu Yinyin spoke again, "It was me who saved Sinian's grandfather."
Li Ze took a breath, staring directly at Mu Yinyin. He genuinely didn't know how to speak anymore. He had thought he'd never have a chance to interact with the Lord of Hell, but… but this person was right before his eyes?
Right before his eyes?
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything else, and slowly said to Mu Yinyin, "You… you just said you could save my mother?"
"Yes."
"This… isn't this something Qingzhu lied to me about?" After thinking for a long time, Li Ze finally said this.
He could be smooth and find ways to resolve other matters.
But.
This was the one thing he couldn't concede on or be lax about.
Lu Sinian turned his gaze to the man and said with a serious expression, "I am here, and President Mu is also here. On matters like this, who do you think between the two of us would lie to you?"
Li Ze was once again rendered speechless.
It was logical. By all accounts, both of them were of noble status and shouldn't engage in deceit. However, his mother's life was too important, he was truly a little afraid…
Mu Yinyin also looked at Li Ze, her expression serious as she spoke again.
"You can choose not to believe me, but I will contact Sister Wan. You contact Sister Wan again, and have her confirm with you. Would that make you believe?"
Li Ze's eyes lit up. This method was good. This would provide a double guarantee.
He paused, then looked at Mu Yinyin and asked with some excitement, "Do you truly have a way to save my mother?"
"Yes." Just one word, but her voice was exceptionally firm.
Lu Sinian sat to the side, saying nothing. He had already made the introduction; it was up to them to resolve it now.
He began to eat.
Meanwhile, Mu Yinyin looked at Li Ze and spoke again, "I have looked into your mother's condition. I have a way to cure your mother, and Qingzhu truly has no effect on her. I don't know who told you to use this method, but I can only say that proposing this method was done when all hope was lost, like a desperate attempt to save a dying horse."
Li Ze was stunned. He nodded helplessly, "Yes, that professor also told me it was only worth a try. He had exhausted all his knowledge."
Mu Yinyin nodded, "Yes, I have a way. Trust me."
Li Ze's eyes grew more expectant. At this moment, he seemed to be gradually accepting the fact that this person before him was indeed the Lord of Hell.
After all… the method Mu Yinyin had just proposed was quite reliable. Contacting Sister Wan and having Sister Wan personally agree to Mu Yinyin saving his mother was very feasible.
He paused, then looked at Mu Yinyin and said, "If you can truly save my mother, I naturally won't use this Qingzhu anymore, nor will I fight you for it."
"Mm, after dinner, I won't give you my contact information, to avoid suspicion. You can find a way to contact Sister Wan yourself then."
"But… Sister Wan doesn't take my calls."
"Give me your phone number, and I'll send her a WeChat message."
Li Ze's eyes lit up, and he quickly gave his phone number, his entire being in a state of pleasant surprise. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Thank you, thank you!"
Mu Yinyin cleared her throat, "This is a transaction. You don't need to thank me too much."
"No…" Li Ze solemnly shook his head, looking at Lu Sinian and Mu Yinyin with a serious expression. "This is different. Actually, it's very easy for you to obtain the Qingzhu. My financial resources are no comparison to yours, you were just giving me face. I, Li Ze, will never forget this kindness! If President Lu or President Mu ever need my help in the future, just ask. As long as I can do it, Li will not refuse!"
Mu Yinyin tugged at her lips and said nothing.
Lu Sinian, however, smiled and said, "Since the cooperation has been reached, we can sign that project between us then."
Li Ze's eyes brightened even further. He had initially thought that today's meeting might be a failure, and he had even made all sorts of preparations to negotiate with Lu Sinian, but instead…
He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly…
That it would be signed.
And all they wanted was for him to give up the Qingzhu, and they were willing to treat his mother. Now, this cooperation had also been secured.
No matter how you looked at it, he was the one benefiting today. This feeling was truly wonderful, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Thank you, President Lu, President Mu, thank you so much. I… I don't know what else to say…"
He had already said what he needed to say. To say more would only seem redundant.
Mu Yinyin simply smiled and said nothing.
She could understand his feelings.
Lu Sinian then said, "Let's eat first. Since everything has been decided, we can proceed with the subsequent procedures."
"Alright, alright! President Lu, President Mu, I'll toast you!"
"Okay."
Thus, they drank a few more glasses. However, since everything had been settled, and Lu Sinian was not a heavy drinker, they only had a few light drinks to show their respect, and then they ate normally.
After the discussions concluded, they left.
Li Ze was also very observant and didn't delay them further, saying a few words before leaving.
Of course, his intention was to quickly contact Wan Yu and finalize this matter.
Although Lu Sinian and Mu Yinyin were trustworthy, he still wanted to confirm it himself to feel at ease, especially since his mother's life was at stake. He dared not be careless in the slightest.
Thus, after he went out, he immediately contacted Wan Yu. Perhaps because Mu Yinyin had already spoken to her, he was able to speak with Wan Yu readily this time and received Wan Yu's accurate confirmation. Li Ze couldn't have been happier!
