Why didn't Li Qianfan make a ruthless move against Jiao Yin after the confrontation?
After her true identity was exposed, why didn't Jiao Yin rack her brains to escape, but instead treated Li Qianfan with more "affection" than before?
It was because they both understood—
They both played an irreplaceable role in each other's hearts!
Let's talk about Jiao Yin first.
If she could conceive Li Qianfan's child, it would not only compensate for her fatal flaws and extend her lifespan, but also give her child a chance to become a strong contender for the third generation Dragon Lord of Longxu in a few decades.
What woman wouldn't want to live a long, long life?
And what woman wouldn't want her child to become a dazzling star of the era?
For these two goals, Jiao Yin was willing to pay a price unimaginable to ordinary people!
Now, let's talk about Li Qianfan.
If he could completely subdue the three presidents of the Dark Web, he would be able to eliminate those eyesores and thorns in his side.
As long as these people were eliminated, the Dark Web's black businesses would suffer a heavy blow!
Then, countless families would no longer have to grieve deeply over their loved ones being abducted and embark on a long journey to find them, abandoning everything else.
If Li Qianfan were to eliminate Jiao Yin—
Her loyal subordinates and the Dark Web would surely launch a most ferocious retaliation!
At that time, countless women and children might suddenly disappear or have their organs harvested.
It was precisely because of this that Jiao Yin was not afraid of Li Qianfan making a ruthless move against her or exposing her identity as a Dark Web president.
The two individuals, each with something they needed from the other, both chose to negotiate, attempting to obtain what they desired.
"Little brother, first of all, I reiterate. I firmly believe that you can curb aging and live a long life."
Jiao Yin's seductive eyes darted about as she seductively twisted and sat up. "Secondly, I also firmly believe that we will be together sooner or later. As long as we are together, you will not only gain a new force loyal only to us two, but it will also play a crucial role in your successful inheritance of Longxu."
Li Qianfan watched her, listening attentively.
Jiao Yin whispered into his ear.
Her breath, like orchids, wafted out. "At that time, you will be the leader of the new force, and I will be your capable assistant. With just one command from you, those black businesses will decrease dramatically! We might even be able to assist you in cracking down on other criminals engaged in these businesses. And what you will give in return."
She said, taking Li Qianfan's left hand and placing it on her lower abdomen.
She hummed, "Is merely to make it grow. The key is that in this process, you will gain an indescribable sense of accomplishment. With such an easy and cheap price, you can gain so many benefits. What reason do you have to refuse?"
What she said made so much sense!
Li Qianfan was moved. "I can make it grow. But you have to give me the list of those 3,688 people."
Jiao Yin's eyebrows shot up.
She giggled but said decisively, "No."
Li Qianfan asked, "Didn't you ask me to be the leader of this new force?"
"Yes."
Jiao Yin replied, "But this new force is the team I am meticulously building for our son."
Li Qianfan smiled. "If these three thousand-plus people don't engage in those dirty businesses, then what will you have them do? Will they become pioneers in fighting human trafficking and drug manufacturing? And without salaries? Because if they receive salaries, I can track their real identities through remittance records. You wouldn't allow me to create a company for them to make a living, would you? Because that would also reveal who they are."
Jiao Yin's seductive charm faded from her brows.
She said faintly, "Li Qianfan, I guarantee that by the time our son is around three years old, these people will either be dead or law-abiding citizens."
Li Qianfan immediately asked, "Without them, what will you use to support me? Don't forget that my father is still in his prime. I won't be able to inherit Longxu for another ten years. You won't say again that you'll disband them in another decade or so, will you?"
Jiao Yin fell silent.
She sat on the bedside table next to Li Qianfan, hugged her knees, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
This pair of scoundrels—
They were both the kind who wouldn't show their hand until they saw the profit!
Yet, they both needed something from each other.
After an unknown amount of time,
Li Qianfan finally said, "If only you, the president of the Dark Web, were overseas."
"Then you wouldn't need to negotiate with me with all your schemes. As soon as you confirm my identity as a Dark Web president, you could have directly made a ruthless move. As for how many ordinary people my subordinates and the Dark Web would retaliate against after I'm dead, what does that have to do with you?"
Jiao Yin sneered. "Your Li family men, ever since your grandfather's generation, have never treated people overseas as human beings. Otherwise, your father wouldn't have directly killed several Dark Web presidents in Europe back then. After killing them, he even hung their bodies in the town square for everyone to see."
Look at what she said—
It was absolutely true!
Li Qianfan could only chuckle awkwardly and fiddled with something. "They say this place is grand, and it has no brains. Why do you have so many brains?"
"This is the legendary coexistence of beauty and wisdom."
Jiao Yin, cooperating with his indecent behavior, sensually asked, "Doesn't it feel awful that you know I'm a malignant tumor, yet you dare not cut me out?"
"Yes."
Li Qianfan sighed. "Alas. Although I'm not very educated, I know the meaning of the idiom 'throw a rat out of fear of breaking a pot.'"
Jiao Yin stopped her seductive movements.
She looked at him. "Then tell me a bottom line for us to cooperate happily."
Li Qianfan met her gaze. "Give me the list of Dark Web operatives."
Jiao Yin chuckled. "You're dreaming."
Li Qianfan continued, "As long as you are willing to hand over this list, I will help you overcome your defect. Once you have a child, whether you develop here or go to Longxu, I will guarantee with my life that you will live the happiest life."
"Your words might fool some naive young girls, but to deceive me, your skill is still too shallow. I'd have to be an idiot to give up the power to command thousands at a beck and call, and be caged by you like a canary."
Li Qianfan frowned. "Then there's nothing to discuss?"
Jiao Yin said leisurely, "I'm not in a hurry anyway, and I don't have to worry about you plotting against me. No matter how long you want to play, I can play with you."
The negotiation, just as it began, had reached a stalemate.
Li Qianfan, somewhat annoyed, lay down and casually picked up his phone.
Jiao Yin, acting very affectionately, leaned on his shoulder and watched him play with his phone.
Just then, Du Yaoyao sent a message.
To be precise, it was a donation record.
A four-year-old boy in Shanghai had unfortunately contracted leukemia and was pleading for help on the "Drip Raising" app.
This family had sold everything they could, including their house, to pay for the child's treatment.
However, because this family's residence was in the far suburbs, far from the bustling city center, their house was not worth much.
After all, even in the most economically developed places, there were poor households.
This family had set a crowdfunding goal of 1.2 million yuan.
Du Junlin, not knowing where he saw this news, confirmed the patient's legitimacy and immediately, with a wave of his hand, donated 1 million yuan!
He fully displayed Sister Yaoyao's inherent nature of doing charity whenever she had money.
Li Qianfan greatly admired Yaoyao's charitable act.
But he couldn't resist his mischievous impulse—
He directly sent four words: "Prodigal woman."
Ding dong.
A picture of a leg was sent over.
Oh my.
Even the wooden Yaoyao understood how to flirt online now?
Li Qianfan immediately perked up and typed, "If you have the guts, send a full body shot!"
Ding dong.
The full body picture was quickly sent over.
Li Qianfan pushed his luck. "Without the face, it doesn't count."
Du Junlin went silent.
Allowing her to be bold enough to send a full body shot to her "ex-boyfriend" was already her limit.
And she wanted her face in it too—
"Scram, you little pervert."
This was the message Sister Yaoyao finally sent after a long silence.
"Tch. It's just showing your face. It's not a big deal!"
Li Qianfan was about to type when he heard Jiao Yin's disdainful snort.
She snatched Li Qianfan's phone, opened the camera, and held it high, clicking twice before sending it.
After she successfully sent it—
Li Qianfan realized that she had taken a photo of the two of them!
And it was one where she was leaning to the side, with one of her long legs draped over him, without any clothes or bedsheets visible.
"What are you sending randomly?"
Li Qianfan was angry and snatched the phone back. "Do you think all girls are shameless like you?"
Jiao Yin clung to him.
She hummed, "Little brother, make my belly big."
Get lost—
Li Qianfan pushed her away, but she was like a stubborn stain, impossible to shake off.
Finally managing to push her away—
Ding dong!
Ding dong ding dong ding dong!!
Li Qianfan's phone buzzed with messages like a madman.
Li Qianfan froze.
"Ha, haha."
Jiao Yin laughed triumphantly, then jumped off the ground and swayed her hips towards the bathroom. "Little brother, I accidentally sent our intimate photo to all the women on your WeChat."
What!?
Li Qianfan sprang up, scrambling to sit up, and hurriedly opened his phone.
The first message he saw was from Du Yaoyao: "Little pervert, if you provoke me again, do you believe I'll come over right now and cut you up?"
