Qu Jianlei has been thinking about who is targeting him and how he might deal with him.
It was temporarily difficult to figure out the former. Without taking the initiative, he wouldn't get much information.
As for the latter, it would be much simpler. It is nothing more than booby traps, ambushes, sneak attacks... How many methods can there be?
He once considered whether the other party would seize some of his leverage to blackmail him.
For example, will the twin sisters who are close to me be kidnapped by the other party and become a bargaining chip to blackmail me?
But later, he ruled out this speculation. Kidnapping is not popular in the empire because there is no soil for this concept to survive.
There are some cases of kidnapping meat stamps for ransom, but they can only ask for money from the meat stamp’s family.
Kidnapping someone, coercing those who are not even remotely close to do this or that... Anyone who thinks like this must have a bad idea!
So he really didn't care about the safety of Rose and Sophia, and he was very sure that the less he cared about it, the safer they would be.
Facts have also proved that he did effectively ensure the safety of the two sisters.
Otherwise, Rose would not have been coerced, but directly kidnapped.
That's right, Qu Jianlei has already judged that Rose took the initiative to contact him because she was being coerced.
However, although he had guessed this, he still had to consider whether to follow the opponent's rhythm.
After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't fully follow the other party's plan, so he said that he was a little busy recently.
At present, he has no shortage of supernatural rice, so he hopes to discuss this deal again in a few days.
Rose's voice was slightly trembling, but she finally said, "Then I'll ask the other party's attitude."
After hanging up the communication, she looked helplessly at the man and woman in front of her, "You also heard that he has no shortage of super powers now."
The man and woman contacted her for the reason of "discussing tour guide business", but she was controlled as soon as they arrived.
The other party didn't threaten her in any way. He just took her to the outskirts and showed her their magical powers.
There may be dissatisfaction among superpowered warriors, but there is a gulf-like gap between superpowered warriors and ordinary people.
Rose also knew that the panda she came into contact with a few days ago was a supernatural warrior, and it might be A-level.
But she didn't think she could win over him - if they spent a good night together, she could give it a try, but she didn't.
Therefore, she did not raise the banner of panda, but calmly said that if she had anything to say, she could talk it over and she was willing to cooperate.
The gap between ordinary people and supernatural warriors is huge, but it is not despairing.
Although a supernatural warrior who kills an ordinary person will not be sentenced to death, it is not completely fine and needs to make meritorious service to atone for his sins.
If not out of necessity, who would put such a layer of shackles on themselves?
Seeing that she was sensible, the couple made their purpose clear: We need you to contact Panda, and so on...
Rose didn't expect that since she couldn't move the panda, the other party would instead target this person.
At this time, she also realized that she was actually implicated by the panda.
However, as an ordinary person, she was involuntarily involved in the grudges of the supernatural warriors, and she had no choice.
Now there is no reaction from the panda, and Rose can only wait for the decision of the man and the woman.
The man glanced at her and told the woman, "Watch her, I'll go out."
Not long after, the man came back and spoke out, "If we let you go, can you promise not to tell anyone?"
"I'll promise it," Rose replied without hesitation.
The woman sneered when she heard this, "What guarantee do you have?"
This was the question. Rose moved her mouth and realized that she really couldn't answer it.
The man spoke up, "So, you should ask him out as soon as possible. If you can't, let your sister find a way."
It is impossible to release people, but we cannot detain people for too long, otherwise it will be too easy for things to happen.
Rose thought about it and asked timidly, "Can I ask what you want to do with the panda?"
Hearing this, the woman sneered again, "Have you forgotten that a supernatural warrior can kill you as easily as killing a chicken?"
It will be a little more troublesome to perform meritorious service and atone for one's sins, but as long as no one else discovers it, it will be enough to kill him.
Qu Jianlei packed up his things before getting off work and drove home.
The salary in the library is not high, but the workload is indeed not heavy, and the end time is half an hour early.
If you get off work in time, there won't be much traffic jams on the road, and Qu Jianlei's drive home basically takes about forty minutes.
Just when he was about to arrive home, someone called him again, it was Sophia.
She said in the communication watch, "My sister finally found the super rice. If you don't want it, what should you do if someone else buys it?"
"Money is a little tight lately," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then asked, "Are you and Rose together?"
"She went out to contact business," Sofia replied casually, "Currently...she is in the south of the city."
The two sisters have a good relationship, and it is inevitable that they will encounter people who are entangled in the process of taking orders, so they have enabled the mutual positioning function.
However, Qu Jianlei didn't quite believe in the positioning provided by her.
As long as they have enough authority, Blue Star can falsify their positioning. He doesn't think that the empire's technology can't do this.
And the person who is secretly watching him must be at least an A-level warrior. At this level, he should have a certain influence.
Even though Qu Jianlei didn't know why he was being targeted, there was nothing wrong with showing leniency to the enemy.
So he smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I don't have any money for the time being. Is it possible that the other party agrees to give me credit?"
"Let me ask," Sophia hung up the communication.
In the empire, credit is not uncommon, but the prerequisite is that you have the ability to be recognized.
When Qu Jianlei helped treat Linghu, Fangcao and Hongyun, although it was needed for combat, it was essentially a kind of credit.
If others think you have the ability to repay and have a good credit, then of course there is no problem in getting credit.
Now Qu Jianlei's new identity appeared suddenly, and his past history is not easy to verify.
So even though he is a warrior with supernatural powers, he still has a regular job - even if it is a temporary job, at least it will provide financial support.
But after comprehensive consideration, whether the other party is willing to lend money on credit or not is still a matter of two minds.
However, if you just want to lure him out, I think the other party won't mind agreeing to credit.
Not long after, Sophia contacted me again, and sure enough, the seller really agreed to give me credit.
Probably to lower Qu Jianlei's wariness, although the other party agreed to the credit, the interest rate was set relatively high.
Qu Jianlei's answer is also very confident: the interest rate is too high, and I am already resistant to borrowing money for consumption.
Sophia said that this was just the other party's preliminary intention.
People have said that if you really want to trade after the meeting, you can still discuss the interest and so on.
Everyone is acting anyway, so just try your best to make it look like reality.
Qu Jianlei's answer was still unhurried: I have some other matters in the past two days, I need to deal with them first, and then contact you.
It's obviously a seller's market, but judging from his attitude, it looks a bit like a buyer's market.
After hanging up the call, Qu Jianlei didn't think about it anymore. As for whether Rose could go home at night, he really didn't think about it.
After all, he is not good at reading people's hearts. Rose helped outsiders deceive him without any hints, which also made him a little unhappy.
At noon the next day, before everyone had lunch, Qu Jianlei found Dave and expressed that he wanted to take leave in the afternoon.
There are actually related departments above him, but the nature of the librarian is rather special and there is no designated supervisor.
Anyway, he is only a temporary worker, and the person he is working with is Dave, so it is reasonable to ask him directly for leave.
Dave nodded to show that he understood and said nothing more.
But Qu Jianlei had to ask, "Who will take my class this afternoon? Who should I hand over the door cards to?"
"Just lock the door," Dave replied nonchalantly, "Just treat it as closed for the afternoon."
Is this okay? Qu Jianlei was a little surprised. If someone comes to borrow it in the afternoon, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
These financial people really do things as they please, but... I like it!
Anyway, with such a small salary, we can’t expect everyone to be highly motivated to work.
Qu Jianlei drove into the car and walked away minding his own business.
He chose a sparsely populated place on the outskirts. After arriving, he started calling Rose.
After being connected, he said that he was free now and explained his location, hoping to trade here.
He didn't make any traps. After all, this place still belongs to Lushui City. If it makes too much noise, he has to say goodbye to his peaceful life again.
His requirements are not high and he doesn't follow the other party's rhythm. He just chooses the trading venue by himself.
It's just that this transaction... there is a high probability that it is not a real transaction.
His reaction obviously surprised the other party. Not long after, Rose responded to the message and said that the time was not suitable.
Obviously, in a seller's market, sellers are qualified to express this.
But Qu Jianlei's attitude is also very determined. Isn't the time right? I can wait, the transaction location is here.
After some discussion, he did not refuse, but asked him to wait for news.
Next, vehicles and pedestrians passed by here, but this place is not completely inhabited, and it is normal for people to come and go.
As for how many of them were stepping on the plate, Qu Jianlei didn't care - as long as the other party didn't set a trap.
He waited until he was about to get off work before Rose informed him that the seller was on his way there.
Do you have to wait until dark? Qu Jianlei is really not afraid of this. He doesn't believe it. There are also A-level spiritual warriors on the opposite side.
So his response was, today is the day to decide whether it will work or not. If I miss today, I will be busy again.
——If you really don’t dare to come, don’t play tricks anymore. I won’t accompany you!
But what surprised him a little was that not only did the other party come, he also came when it was still dark.
Two off-road vehicles came and drove directly into this flat field.
The vehicle stopped, and four strong men got out of the first vehicle, holding machine guns, hand cannons and other weapons, with murderous looks on their faces.
