Chapter 157 - 157 Alliance
157 Alliance
The secretary sent the man to the private doctor before returning to retrieve the notebook. At this moment, Shi Man had not moved from her location.
The secretary was delighted, thinking that he had found Shi Man’s nest. He quickly zoomed in on the map on the computer and saw an unexpected location.
In the factory, Shi Man slowly sneaked into the darkness and found a hidden place. After hiding the pistol she had just snatched, she was about to retreat.
In front of the iron gate, a black car suddenly stopped outside the factory. The mercenaries in charge of patrolling stepped aside, not daring to look at the man who got out of the car.
Yi Zheng put on his mask with a lingering smile in his eyes.
When Shi Man heard the commotion outside, she quickly climbed over the back wall and hid in a place where she could retreat at any time. She hid and observed the commotion in the factory.
Yi Zheng slowly walked in and looked around the place specially used for Shi Man to treat him.
However, he did not know what was the “good thing” she had brought him this time.
The huge light on the roof of the factory was turned on by Tang Zhe, and the originally dark place instantly lit up.
Every corner could be seen by Yi Zheng. After confirming that she had already left the factory vigilantly, Yi Zheng casually walked to the place where Shi Man had hidden the pistol. He glanced at the flawless wall and walked to the back wall outside. He smiled and said briskly, “Since you’re here, why don’t you treat me before leaving?”
Shi Man walked in from outside the back wall expressionlessly, revealing a pair of cold eyes. “How did you know I was here?”
Yi Zheng slowly walked up to her. After confirming that she was not injured, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t forget that I was the one who gave Sean the news that someone had attacked and needed to transfer supplies at the last minute.”
“Thank you very much,” Shi Man said with a fake smile.
It was true that this person had helped her, but at the same time, he had schemed against her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived at this warehouse almost at the same time as her.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Yi Zheng looked at her vigilant gaze calmly and the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up. “You schemed against me too. We’re even.”
Shi Man was stunned for a moment as if she did not expect him to have such a frivolous reaction. She could not help but mock him, “You guessed that I would come here and went to all the trouble to stop me. What do you want? You can just say it.”
“Wanted to see you.”
Yi Zheng pursed his lips and suddenly raised his hand to reach for Tang Zhe.
Tang Zhe immediately bowed and handed over a black golden box.
Shi Man found the box familiar and could not help but raise her eyebrows. “What is this?”
Yi Zheng didn’t answer her question. He lowered his eyes and slowly opened the box, revealing the pink pistol inside.
Shi Man suddenly wanted to laugh. Wasn’t this the fool who had paid a high price for that useless pistol at the auction just now?
Yi Zheng saw her gaze and knew what she was thinking. He also felt a little stupid.
When he found out that Shi Man had gone to the auction and entered the same private room with another man, he had even postponed a business meeting worth hundreds of millions just to see her personally and not let her have the chance to approach others.
The moment this gun was taken out for auction, Yi Zheng somehow thought of Shi Man. It was not because she was the only woman beside him who knew how to use a pistol, but because he felt from the bottom of his heart that this gun was very similar to her.
She looked like a soft and cute character on the surface, but she was all fierce on the inside. She was like a pistol filled with bullets that could kill at any time.
“What do you mean?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows at him. Could it be that he wanted to say that he had specially bought this for her?
Yi Zheng raised the box and handed the pistol to her. He said slowly, “Take it as a keepsake of the alliance between Immaculate and Blood Devour.”
Shi Man put away the teasing smile on her face and stared at him expressionlessly. “When did I say that I wanted to form an alliance with you? Our Immaculate should be your benefactor.”
Not to mention the mercenaries beside her, even Tang Zhe could not help but gasp at her words. No one had ever dared to claim credit in front of his master.
However, if one really considered the facts, Shi Man was actually right. Although the hot poison was not fatal to Yi Zheng, he had suffered a lot. If she detoxified this poison, it would be equivalent to helping him escape the pain that would haunt him for the rest of his life and even extend his life.
It could barely be considered a life-saving grace.
Tang Zhe thought that his master would be angry and take the initiative to withdraw his offer of alliance. Unexpectedly, Yi Zheng thought about what she said seriously and said matter-of-factly, “Are you really not going to consider it again? The identity of the Blood Devour can help you more than just a little.”
He glanced pointedly at the place where she had hidden the pistol and narrowed his eyes at her like an old fox.
