Hearing Liang Jinyu's words, Xu Que nearly lost control of his energy!
After a long moment of stabilizing himself, he slowly descended to the ground.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Que spoke into the phone, "Big sis, stop playing games with me. Just tell me your conditions."
"I'm not joking, I'm serious."
"I have a girlfriend, and you've seen her!" Xu Que emphasized the words "girlfriend."
"I don't recommend it."
"But I do!" Xu Que quickly responded.
"I can be your secret woman, no strings attached. Even if I have your child, I won't disturb you. Is that still not acceptable?"
Liang Jinyu's bold words stunned Xu Que.
Could it be that his luck had improved since his reincarnation?
"With my help, you'll gain an advantage, and I can even resolve the issues within your company's framework."
Hearing Liang Jinyu's offer, Xu Que was tempted.
But he still asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"Your person! Including your talents!"
"You guessed it, didn't you?" Xu Que asked, curious.
"Sort of, since who would waste spiritual crystals nowadays?"
"How did you find out?"
"When we fought the Snow Bear BOSS, I discovered two used spiritual crystals."
Upon hearing this, Xu Que felt speechless. He had been so careful, yet she had still found out...
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you to keep it quiet?" Xu Que asked.
"I'm not afraid. I'm already yours. What do I have to fear?"
Liang Jinyu's words shattered Xu Que, and he finally understood why she had come to Modu. She had already discovered everything...
"How about ten percent?" Xu Que asked.
"I'm already your woman, and when we take control of the Honorary Territory, you only want to add that little?" Liang Jinyu replied.
"Then how much do you want?"
"Forty percent!" Liang Jinyu stated.
"Alright, no problem!" Xu Que agreed immediately.
Surprised by Xu Que's quick agreement, Liang Jinyu was momentarily confused. She felt like she might have been tricked.
"What's the most you can give me?" Liang Jinyu asked, testing him.
"Eighty percent," Xu Que smiled as he replied.
"Fine, I didn't misjudge you. You win!"
Xu Que felt a surge of satisfaction at her words. As for why he only offered eighty percent, it was because he didn't want this woman to know too much.
He could easily have given her three hundred percent, but presenting such a sum would have made him seem foolish.
"When will the pipes be fixed?" she asked.
"What pipes?" Xu Que asked, bewildered.
"Don't you men always use 'fixing the pipes' as a way to express yourselves?"
Looking up at the sky, Xu Que silently thanked himself for not flying. Otherwise, he'd have certainly gotten into an accident.
"We'll leave the pipes for now. You want to help me with the company's issues," Xu Que said, trying to suppress his excitement.
"Alright, whatever. Let the pipes drip for now."
"…"
Xu Que ended the call, speechless. He looked around and then went to the stream to wash his face.
"Good heavens, even a beauty's car speed is something my flying sword can't catch up to…"
After a moment of grumbling, Xu Que calmed himself and mounted his flying sword, heading back to Modu.

In the Imperial Hunter Company of Shangjing:
"Dad, here's all the information on the current company entries for Zhatian." Chen Yan proudly placed the documents on Chen Tianfang's desk.
"Where's your second uncle?" Chen Tianfang picked up the documents and began reading.
"He's waiting for a new crack to open with that brat from the Ye family," Chen Yan replied.
Chen Tianfang nodded, flipping to the second page of the documents. "What's this about Liaojing and Lijiang? Didn't you tell them?"
"Liaojing is controlled by the military, our people can't get involved, and that area belongs to the Sima family."
"As for Lijiang, I've already sent someone to handle it. In about two days, Zhatian will lose the entry rights there."
Hearing this, Chen Tianfang nodded slightly.
"Such a pity, we can't reclaim the territorial rights."
Seeing his father's troubled expression, Chen Yan smiled and said, "Actually, we can still manage the territory. It just requires us to sacrifice something."
"What do you mean?" Chen Tianfang asked.
"The Ye family!" Chen Yan replied.
At this, Chen Tianfang's eyes sparkled with understanding.
"Why didn't I think of that? And the Ye family is also involved with the Hunter Company. If I help them, we'll have a debt of gratitude!"
"How's your relationship with Ye Huan?" Chen Tianfang inquired.
"Pretty good, but not as close as with Murong Cheng," Chen Yan hesitated. "Actually, I was hoping you could build a connection with the Ye family. After all, Ye Shengmao has had his eyes on my aunt for a while."
"No way. How could Xiaoyu marry that scoundrel? You're talking about sacrificing your aunt!" Chen Tianfang retorted angrily.
"Dad, you need to understand that Xu Que is the real person behind Zhatian. Shen Mengchu is just his shield. And according to the information, they control a lot of territory resources," Chen Yan explained.
"You think I don't know that? Because Shen Mengchu is in front, we can't approach directly. Plus, with only one daughter, if we want those territories, we'll have to target the resources and entry, or even assassinate Xu Que!"
"How about using your second uncle with Ye Xiang's connections?" Chen Yan suggested.
"Ye Xiang is a useless fool. Sending your second uncle after him is just a way to scavenge from the Ye family," Chen Tianfang replied.
"Then I can't recover the territories they have," Chen Yan sighed.
"Fine, put this matter aside. Get Chen Jun to prepare the entry list. After that, we'll focus on cracking open the dimensional rifts," Chen Tianfang decided.
"That's not a problem. I've already secured the C-level rifts, and we have over thirty thousand new recruits," Chen Yan replied.
"Good job on that front," Chen Tianfang praised.
"By the way, Dad, what's going on with Zhang Dahai in Yanzhou?" Chen Yan asked.
"They've successfully entered Linan, and with Honor and Shenyin, they now form a balanced power," Chen Tianfang answered.
"Can we borrow people from them?"
"Zhang Dahai hasn't replied yet, but he should lend us some. What do you need them for?" Chen Tianfang asked.
"I want to form a bodyguard team," Chen Yan smiled.
"Alright, when his people arrive, I'll send them your way."
Just as Chen Yan happily left the office, Chen Tianfang's phone rang.
After seeing the special label, he opened the message.
"Chen, we're pleased with the resources you've sent. As a token of thanks, I'll have Wugong meet with you."
Chen Tianfang smiled, replied with a "Good" and quickly deleted the message.
…
In Linan, Dayu Hunter Company:
Although Shen Mengchu had helped settle matters with Shenyin, they now faced a new problem.
"Dad, stop pretending. Our losses this time are already severe. If this continues, I fear I might lose you as well," Han Xiaoyu pleaded with a heavy heart.
"Get out. What do you know? The rift eruption itself was problematic, and those Tianhui people are clearly targeting us!" Han Dayu slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Han Xiaoyu, feeling wronged, spoke softly, "The resources in the company's account have already been depleted, and the municipal government has cut off our subsidies."
As Han Dayu fumed, his phone suddenly rang. Upon seeing the message, his gaze shifted to his daughter.
"What do you think of Cheng Ye?"
Han Dayu's sudden question confused Han Xiaoyu, but she responded, "A scoundrel, what's it to you?"
"Can you...?"
Before Han Dayu could finish, Han Xiaoyu immediately reacted, "Han Dayu, are you even human? It was Cheng Ye who attacked us. Do you want to send me to him?"
