Miraculous Doctor in Flower City-Chapter 388:

"Miss Que Lan, if you're willing to reveal the Zhuo Family's layout in Sea City, or tell me why they're going to such great lengths in Sea City, then I might consider the choice you proposed. Otherwise, I fear nothing; after all, I started with nothing, and I'm not afraid to end up with nothing again."

Liu Sanming suddenly gave a cold smile.

Upon hearing this, Que Lan's eyes also turned colder!

"Are you threatening me?"

"In this private room, it's just the two of us. If I am threatening you, what can you do about it?"

After saying this, Liu Sanming unexpectedly flashed over to Que Lan's side, raised his hand, and pinched her smooth, tender chin!

His presence exploded powerfully!

Like a torrential flood or a fierce beast, making Que Lan, who seemed cold and proud, not dare to move a muscle.

She didn't even dare to speak!

"To put it bluntly, if I sleep with you now and then surrender to Zhuo Tianming, he'll still accept me. But you'd become trash, abandoned. Between us, who is the real pawn? Aren't you clear?"

Liu Sanming continued.

Que Lan's eyes flickered, even though there was anger, she didn't dare to act.

Because she knew, Liu Sanming was speaking the truth.

As Zhuo Tianming's plaything, once she's tainted, she'll lose all value.

Zhuo Tianming wouldn't show mercy for any past tenderness.

He would definitely kick her out immediately, or kill her to silence her.

After all, she knew many of Zhuo Tianming's secrets. Once abandoned, surviving would be difficult.

"...I must say, you're very smart. Let's sit down and have a proper discussion then."

Que Lan lost her cold arrogance, becoming exceptionally calm.

"That's the right attitude. Now, tell me."

Liu Sanming laughed heartily, without a trace of maliciousness, as he returned to his seat.

Que Lan became even more apprehensive of his unpredictable temperament.

A person whose mood couldn't be gauged was often more terrifying.

You wouldn't know when he'd suddenly make a move.

"Sea City is about to gain attention from the higher-ups, planning to establish an international free-trade zone. At that time, the flow of goods and commercial value will soar. This is why the Zhuo Family sent Zhuo Tianming over—first, to reclaim the assets of the Divine Origin Association, and second, to stake an initial claim and stabilize their footing, making it easier to reap policy benefits thereafter."

Que Lan explained thoroughly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sanming was astonished.

His heart couldn't help but be amazed at the foresight and insight of top-tier families in Hu City.

How could ordinary people have such connections?

Nor this strategic thinking.

No wonder the wealthy could keep growing their fortunes generation after generation; the perspective at which they stand far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Simultaneously, Liu Sanming's thoughts immediately shifted.

Originally, he wanted to give nothing to the Zhuo Family.

Or rather just some token gesture.

But now, Liu Sanming aimed to seize the opportunity to climb onto the Zhuo Family's big fish.

As the saying goes, having connections in high places makes things easier, leaning on a big tree provides shade.

With the Zhuo Family, perhaps he could secure more benefits going forward.

As for the Divine Origin Association, if Zhuo Tianming wants anything, just give it to him.

After all, to Liu Sanming, money was already just a string of digits.

He doesn't have much fixation over hundreds of millions or even billions.

After all, Liu Sanming isn't particularly fond of spending.

What he considers most now is how to live safely and securely.

And the Zhuo Family clearly can serve as a protection.

"So tell me, what's my best choice now?"

Liu Sanming chuckled while looking at Que Lan.

Que Lan's beautiful eyes narrowed, unable to decipher Liu Sanming's real intentions.

Testing her, or genuinely seeking answers?

"Truth or falsehood?"

Que Lan coldly laughed.

"Of course, the truth. Just go ahead and speak, if I were to be upset with your answer, I wouldn't be Liu Sanming."

Liu Sanming puckered his mouth.

Que Lan was speechless, if you aren't Liu Sanming, then who are you?

This pledge equated to nothing.

But she still shared her opinion.

"Although the assets of the Divine Origin Association are substantial, the Zhuo Family doesn't really care about such money. Moreover, the Zhuo Family didn't have much investment or assets within the Divine Origin Association, just some money laundering cooperation."

"So I personally suggest, Mr. Liu doesn't need to fight the Zhuo Family, it's hard to gain advantage. Even if you win, the losses would be severe. Better to leverage the connection, seek the Zhuo Family as support."

"The Fourth Young Master has an arrogant demeanor, but if you give him face, he'll give you an easy way out. If you don't, he'll be even harsher."

"That's my opinion."

Que Lan spoke very frankly.

After hearing this, Liu Sanming laughed.

Then he surprisingly got up again and proactively refilled Que Lan's tea.

"Miss Que's suggestion is spot on. Listening to advice is like having a fulfilling meal. I accept your suggestion, can you help me arrange a meeting with the Fourth Young Master? I'd like to speak with him alone, see how much he wants, I'll try my best to satisfy him."

Liu Sanming said seriously.

Hearing this, Que Lan couldn't help but relax, and she smiled.

She didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time.

It seems Liu Sanming isn't as violent and ruthless as rumored in Sea City.

Instead, he recognizes the times.

"Alright, thank you for the recognition and appreciation. You've also helped me complete my task. In the future, if you encounter any issues, you can also ask me for advice."

Que Lan appropriately painted a picture of the future.

"Thank you!"

Liu Sanming was no fool.

This method of painting a picture without spending money, he'd be tricked for sure.

It was merely mutual flattery between them.

After chatting a bit more, Que Lan stood up to take her leave.

Liu Sanming escorted her to the car outside the villa and watched her leave before slowly curling his lips into a smile.

"This lady is truly enticing, I'll get you in bed sooner or later, make you cry out."

After mumbling this, Liu Sanming returned to the villa.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Tianming was in the most luxurious suite in Massage City, enjoying a massage from two female technicians.

In his view, though the environment was slightly lacking, the service was pretty good.

The technicians' appearance was average, but indeed more provocative than those in upscale venues...

After Que Lan contacted Li Jie, she quickly arrived at the private room in Massage City.

"Young Master, everything has been discussed. They're willing to submit and want to arrange a meeting with you alone."

After saying this, Zhuo Tianming, lying down enjoying the massage, gave a cool smile.

"A country dog, as expected, doesn't dare to fight me. He's rather sensible; let him come over now."

"As you command, Young Master."

Que Lan nodded and went out to make the call.

Li Jie also breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, he was constantly worried that Liu Sanming would do something wrong to Que Lan, after all, Liu Sanming had too many women around him, evidently fond of that sort.

After getting in touch, Que Lan returned to the private room, standing respectfully aside.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Sanming arrived at Massage City.

Come to think of it, he hadn't been at work there for over a month...

It was where he made his mark, he still had strong feelings towards it.

Upon arrival at the entrance, the hostess warmly greeted him.

"Brother Sanming is here! A rare guest! Haven't seen you for a few days, you've become even more handsome!"

"Good to see you, Brother Sanming. I've missed you so much I've been losing sleep often!"

"Really? Then let me rub your chest, relaxing and resolving tension, the best cure for insomnia."
