Does Jiao Yin want to avenge her subordinates who died unjustly in Si Jiu?
Does she want to become the chief president of the dark web?
Yes!
After her subordinate was ambushed, a leader who doesn't want to avenge him is not a qualified leader.
The third president who doesn't want to be the chief president of the dark web is not a qualified third president!
However, for Jiao Yin, these two points—
None are as important as having Li Qianfan help her repair the flaws left by the improved version of 209!
But if she wanted to solve these three problems with Li Qianfan's sincere cooperation, she had to pay an equal price.
After all, pies never fall from the sky for no reason.
Jiao Yin was no longer alluring.
She quietly lay on her back, looking up at Li Qianfan, silent for a long time.
Li Qianfan did not urge her.
He held her in a princess carry, leaning against the entrance of the underground cave, looking down at the highest point of the black qipao.
Strange.
Why is the highest point on the left full of drool?
"You want me to become a traitor to the dark web," Jiao Yin asked softly a few minutes later.
"I'm not asking you to," Li Qianfan shook his head. "My greatest characteristic is that I never force others to do what they don't want to do."
Heh heh.
Jiao Yin sneered, "On the journey west, who made my throat get inflamed?"
Li Qianfan—
Damn it!
How could a smart person like Jiao Meinu not understand the principle of bringing up sensitive topics that make people awkward?!
Jiao Yin continued, "I need some time to carefully analyze the pros and cons."
"Okay," Li Qianfan said. "Take as long as you need, I won't rush. You wouldn't abandon the empire you worked so hard to build in the East for so many years. Besides, the more you procrastinate, the greater the harm the fifth president will inflict on you."
"Hmph."
Jiao Yin snorted, "Then can you give me a child?"
Li Qianfan thought without hesitation, "No. Because you are too dangerous and ambitious. And I happen to be timid and hate trouble. Isn't it better for us to maintain a pure relationship (acquaintances)?"
Jiao Yin replied indifferently, "To tell you the truth. When I'm resting, I usually squat in the corner. And I'm more afraid of animals like snakes or owls, because they are natural enemies of frogs. But when I'm by your side, I can sleep soundly like a normal person. I've regained the sense of security that 209 didn't change, and my sleep quality is exceptionally good."
Li Qianfan believed that Jiao Yin was not lying to him.
Jiao Yin had to make these things clear to gain her own interests.
Jiao Yin spoke fluently—
"If I can't be your lover, what reason do I have to be by your side?"
"If I can't be by your side, how can I improve my sleep?"
"If I can't improve my sleep, my lifespan will be affected."
"If I can't live long, what's the use even if I become the chief president of the dark web?"
"Li Qianfan—"
Jiao Yin asked, "Let me ask you a very practical question, and I hope you can answer me honestly. Do you want your child to control the dark web?"
Does Li Qianfan want his child to control the dark web?
This question—
Li Qianfan inexplicably thought of Jessica from the Rhode family again!
That woman, with whom he had no love, yet somehow gave birth to his first child (though Mao Mao was actually the first), had asked a similar question long ago.
Li Qianfan didn't know how to answer.
He could only take one step at a time.
Now Jiao Yin was asking again!
Wasn't this annoying?
What true man doesn't hope to have many children, each controlling a major force?
The problem is—
Li Qianfan's expression fluctuated between gloom and brightness.
He slowly shook his head, "I am very aware that where there is light, there must be darkness. The dark web will always exist. But no matter how alluring the role of the dark web boss is, I don't want my child to live in darkness like a rat in a ditch for their entire life. That would be absolutely unfair to her (or him)."
Li Qianfan was only 22 this year.
People in this age group rarely considered having children.
However, because Li Qianfan's original 209 had been activated, he had matured considerably during this period.
Moreover, he was well aware that there was an 80% chance he would die of old age (the remaining 20% rested on Empress Xiaotai), so he couldn't help but consider his descendants.
He absolutely did not want—
His child to live in darkness for their entire life!
His clear answer made Jiao Yin frown involuntarily.
She didn't say that she could teach the child to emerge from the darkness and walk in the sunlight with the dark web.
Because she knew very well—
The dark web is the dark web; it's destined to survive only in darkness!
Furthermore, Jiao Yin also knew that twenty years ago, the chief president of the dark web, Roma, the third president, Jin Yingji, the grand advisor of the dark web, Yu Minmin, the mixed-race beauty Su Zhe, and later one of the six great presidents of the dark web, Katerina; all of them left the dark web after giving birth.
That was Li Xiao and Gao Lie's refusal to let their children live their lives like rats in the darkness!
The older generation had set the best example for Li Qianfan.
Therefore, he naturally would not agree to let his child become the president of the dark web.
"If—"
Jiao Yin asked again, "What if I join Dragon Ruins with the child, like my predecessors?"
"Let me tell you another secret," Li Qianfan replied, changing the subject, and said softly, "The reason I could harshly confront you is that my original 209 was activated. It unleashed all my potential, allowing my speed and strength to reach heights you cannot match. However, my lifespan will also be only about eight months. Do you think for a man with only eight months left to live, you would care if your offspring could control the dark web?"
What?
You only have eight months left to live?
Impossible!
This is absolutely impossible—
Jiao Yin was stunned and jumped out of Li Qianfan's arms onto the ground.
The floor was cold.
But she was barefoot.
A chill shot up from the soles of her feet, making her goosebumps erupt.
Purely instinctive reaction—
Jiao Yin immediately lifted her foot, her pair of delicate, beautiful feet stepping on Li Qianfan's instep.
Her hands then naturally wrapped around his waist.
Hmm.
This felt much better.
Li Qianfan did not refuse.
"Twenty years ago, my mother had a period of aging. If it weren't for Ji Ya, she would definitely not be alive."
Li Qianfan looked into the woman's eyes and told the truth, "What's more desperate is that even if Ji Ya were reborn, she couldn't save me like she saved my mother back then. Because my 209 is completely different from my mother's 209."
Jiao Yin subconsciously asked, "Your grandmother can't save you either?"
Li Qianfan said, "Only a 20% chance."
Jiao Yin added, "But since your original 209 has been activated, it will never let you leave this world in such a short time! Li Qianfan, I firmly believe there is definitely someone in this world who can save you."
Is there?
Zhuang Wujian.
Guanyin of Sunan—
Inexplicably, Li Qianfan thought of these two women.
But Zhuang Wujian was already over sixty years old. Even if her appearance was eternally youthful, Li Qianfan's stomach would churn violently just thinking about intimate interaction with her.
What about Guanyin of Sunan?
Not only did she have a very special status within the wealthy circles; the most fatal thing was that she was the mother of Chong Chong and Yao Yao!
In this world—
Some things, a man does with his eyes closed, and it's done.
But some things, even if he becomes the second Handsome Young Master, cannot be done.
Otherwise, he would become a beast, unworthy of being human!
Li Qianfan had this aspect firmly under control.
Even though Shen Huiteng, Old Master Shen, and others always affectionately called Li Qianfan a little beast.
"There is someone who can save you, right?" Jiao Yin, staring intently into Li Qianfan's eyes, immediately sensed something. "But you just can't let this person save you!"
Li Qianfan's eyes flickered.
After a moment's hesitation, he nodded truthfully.
Jiao Yin asked, "Who is that person who can save you? Why can't you let him (or her) save you? That person is definitely not your enemy. Because if it were an enemy, no matter how great the enemy! Even King Xuanyuan himself could mediate between you."
Li Qianfan didn't speak and took out a cigarette.
He leaned against the doorframe.
Jiao Yin, with her feet on his, her hands wrapped around his waist, was racking her brain to figure out how he could survive.
But.
They were clearly enemies!
After completely revealing their cards, instead of immediately fighting, they were clinging to each other like a young couple, talking peacefully.
Strange.
"That person is definitely not an ordinary passerby," Jiao Yin continued. "No ordinary passerby could refuse the extremely generous rewards received for saving Li Wujiang's only son. Therefore, I deduced that person must be your acquaintance. From a conventional perspective, your acquaintance would not refuse to save you. And you would not refuse to be saved by an acquaintance. If such a situation occurred, then it must be that the way the acquaintance saves you is unacceptable to you!"
"Traditional methods like bone marrow transplants are acceptable to everyone. Unless that person is a woman. Her way of saving you is through intimate interaction. Most importantly—"
Jiao Yin's brain was spinning faster and faster, "She is your elder, or junior. The possibility of a junior is slim, as you are too young yourself to have a junior. Only the person who can save you is a female elder of yours, who can fit your condition of preferring death to being saved."
Li Qianfan was very surprised.
He really hadn't expected Miss Jiao's ability to read people and her analytical skills to be so abnormal.
"But this woman can absolutely not be your mother," Jiao Yin's eyes gleamed. She continued, "Because of the extremely miraculous nature of 209, it dictates that it would never allow a flaw that prevents 209 from surviving to exist between you and your mother. Since it's definitely not your mother, then this woman."
Jiao Yin thought carefully—
And then softly said, "It can only be the Guanyin of Sunan, who recently caused a huge scandal with you. Crucially, she doesn't rely on any cosmetics, nor does she possess a special physique like your mother; yet her beauty remains undiminished, and she is known as the queen of beauty in wealthy circles!"
