"Thank you Mr. Zhao for your love, but I still understand the principle of no reward for no merit." Meng Ruxuan cleverly avoided Zhao Bai's words without offending anyone.
Zhao Bai sighed and said, "Miss Ruxuan, I just want to help you. I hope you can understand."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Meng Ruxuan smiled slightly.
"Actually, why do you have to live in the shadow of your cousin? You can completely avoid the limelight, you don't have to do this. Your cousin has always regarded you as a tool to make money, and he has treated you badly. You...
..." Zhao Bai was a little troubled.
How to help Meng Ruxuan?
This made Zhao Bai very depressed.
Zhao Bai continued: "Miss Ruxuan, what kind of person is your cousin?"
"My cousin?" Meng Ruxuan was stunned for a moment and said: "My cousin is a very nice person. Although he is as cold as frost to me and has always wanted to marry me off, he has saved my life.
And he’s not mean to me either.”
"Just because you have the grace to save your life, do you want to worship him like a god?" Zhao Bai looked at Meng Ruxuan.
"The ancients said that a drop of water will repay you with a spring of spring. Besides, my cousin helped me save my life?" Meng Ruxuan pursed her lips and said: "How can I be ashamed of him? I can't leave him, even if he is
I am also willing to use me to make money for him."
"I'll give him whatever he wants!" Zhao Bai stood up excitedly and said, "I want to buy you from him and give you a free body."
Meng Ruxuan looked at Zhao Bai blankly.
Zhao Bai thought she was moved by his words.
Unexpectedly, Meng Ruxuan frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao, no one can buy me away from my cousin."
Meng Ruxuan just wanted to express that she had a good relationship with her cousin and she would not leave anyone who paid for it.
But in Zhao Bai's view, Meng Ruxuan regarded her cousin as a person of great ability and strength. No one could compare to her cousin.
"I don't believe there are people in Qi who are stronger than the Zhao family." Zhao Bai stood up.
Meng Ruxuan originally had a cold face, but then smiled.
"Mr. Zhao, you are so excited." Meng Ruxuan looked at Zhao Bai and said, "Our lunch is almost over today, don't you think?"
"Miss Ruxuan, I will never get tired of staying with you for as long as I want!" Zhao Bai looked at Meng Ruxuan and said, "How about... why don't we stay for a while?"
"I'm a little tired after drinking!" Meng Ruxuan shook her head.
"Okay, that's it for today." Zhao Bai nodded.
The first meal was quite satisfactory.
Zhao Bai slowly left the Phoenix Tower.
Return to Zhao's house.
Zhao Bai's followers hurried over.
"Sir." The attendant panted.
"How is the investigation going on the matter you were asked to investigate?" Zhao Bai asked.
"I..." the entourage gave a bitter smile and said: "I haven't found out why. Almost everyone in the capital seems to have never seen the boss of Phoenix Tower, and he has never appeared in public. So, there is no way to start.
, plus the Phoenix Tower boss showed up relatively late, so no one knows who is behind the scenes."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Bai was confused.
"Yes!" The attendant was helpless.
"Since you can't find it, then continue to check it!" Zhao Bai said angrily.
"Yes, young master!" The attendant nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute anything.
Zhao Bai looked gloomy and said, "I don't believe it. I can't find out any information about you."
The attendant leaned close to Zhao Bai's ear and said: "Master, it seems that the boy from the Li family also made an appointment with Meng Ruxuan tonight."
"Hmph!" Zhao Bai's face became darker and he cursed: "This boy dares to compete with me blatantly. Sooner or later, I will make you look good!"
Although Zhao Bai seems gentle and elegant to outsiders, in fact these are just pretense.
Any young master from a big family has a kind of arrogance in his heart.
The so-called arrogance actually means not taking the world seriously. In their view, no one is qualified to compete with them. They also disdain to argue with anyone, so they give people a kind of gentleness and aloofness.
.
But once someone touches their interests, they will not hesitate to kill anyone who dares to touch their interests.
Moreover, their killings are cold-blooded and merciless, and there is no morality at all.

Qi State, Imperial City.
Guo Yi was walking alone on the street.
"Have you heard? The king is ill and the doctor is incompetent. Now he is offering a reward to the world for the master of the apricot forest."
"Why did the monarch suddenly become ill?"
…
Everyone was talking curiously.
Guo Yi was very curious after listening to their words.
Walking towards the entrance of the imperial city, I saw a dense crowd gathering there.
At the imperial list, there were more than ten tall soldiers guarding it.
The crowd was crowded, and everyone seemed to be looking at what was posted on the imperial list.
A group of people were very curious.
Guo Yi was also very curious, so he passed through the crowd and squeezed in. He soon saw a notice posted on the imperial list. It probably meant that the emperor accidentally had too many activities on his birthday in the past few days.
Suffering from evil spirits, the imperial doctor's treatment was ineffective, and the condition worsened. Now, a reward is offered to the world for a master from the apricot forest to enter the imperial city to cure the monarch. If he can be cured, he will be promoted to a high official position, and a reward of thousands of gold and silver will be offered; if he cannot be cured, he will deceive the monarch.
punish the crime.
No one at the scene dared to reveal the list.
Even the imperial doctor can't cure him. How can an ordinary village man or a foot doctor cure him?
Even some poor people may not dare to try it easily. After all, if it cannot be cured, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime of deceiving the emperor is to be beheaded. Who dares to mess around?
Guo Yi walked through the crowd.
"Young man." An old man with a white beard hurriedly grabbed Guo Yi's arm and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Reveal the list." Guo Yi replied.
"Do you know all the words on it?" the old man with a white beard asked hurriedly.
"Of course we know each other." Guo Yi smiled.
"Since you know him, do you know that if he can't be cured, he will be decapitated?" The white-bearded old man looked at Guo Yi in shock, with a look of shock and shock.
"I know!" Guo Yi nodded.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" The old man opened his eyes wide.
"Afraid of death. But, I have a way to cure him." Guo Yi smiled.
The old man frowned: "You don't even know the monarch's condition, but you boast that there is a way to cure him? Are you crazy?"
Guo Yi said with a smile: "For a hundred diseases, ordinary people may only have a hundred ways to treat them, but I have a thousand, or even ten thousand."
Hiss!
The old man was stunned and speechless.
He watched blankly as Guo Yi slowly stepped forward and tore the notice off the imperial list.
Guo Yi is not doing good deeds or showing off, but simply to relieve boredom. It is too boring to stay here. Since it is boring, it is natural to find something to do. No one can cure the monarch's disease, then
