After venting, Zhong Xiaomin felt comfortable and put her salary into her bag. When she was about to leave from the other side, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing behind her.

Ah!" "Oh my god!" She jumped to the side to avoid the shadow.

When she recovered her wits and realized that the black shadow hadn't moved, Xia Xiaomin took a closer look. It was actually the rumored man with Lin XIyao!

The enemy's path was narrow! Why did I meet him here!

Xia Xiao Min wailed in her heart. She didn't expect such an unlucky thing to happen to her, so she thought to herself that she should hurry up and use a bolt of lightning to hack her to death.

It was now quiet in the middle of the night, and this was the back door of the hotel. It was still some distance away from the dorm, and the only sound that could be heard was the wind. There was no one around.

It was truly a dark and stormy night … After a quick survey of the surroundings, Xia Xiaomin became even more desperate. If something were to happen here without anyone noticing, no one would believe it.

Plus, she was alone, so perhaps no one would know if she went missing.

Woo woo, woo. Thinking of this, Xia Xiao Min became more and more upset. She forgot that the man in front of her was getting closer and closer to her.

"Hello."

Zhong Luozhan was planning to leave after threatening Xia Xiaomin, but hearing her righteous words about peeping on the hotel's reputation from outside the door of the guesthouse, he felt this woman was a little funny and knew how to quibble.

It seemed that she wasn't just a stupid woman who only knew how to be greedy for money.

As a result, Zhong Luozheng followed this woman to this place because of what had happened recently.

He didn't know if he should say that Xia Xiaomin was slow or if she was completely unaware of the danger. She had been followed by a man for such a long time, but it was only now that he noticed her in this desolate place.

Most importantly, at this point, she was still daydreaming! No defensive moves were made!

Ah!" Why are you so close!

Only when Zhong Luozhan leaned over and the warm breath from his nose hit her delicate face and brought a burning sensation that couldn't be ignored did Xia Xiaomin, who had been distracted by her own ridiculous thoughts, suddenly snapped out of her daze. Seeing the face in front of her, she cried out in shock and took a few steps back to keep a safe distance from him.

"What is it? You must have seen what happened in the guesthouse! " The playful smile quickly disappeared from his face. Zhong Luozheng wanted to play with such a flustered Xia Xiaomin.

"Ugh …" It was all because of this matter. Xia Xiaomin had been hypnotized by him with great difficulty. Now that Zhong Luozhan mentioned it, he was sure he had seen her face.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed her here. Could it be that he really did destroy his corpse and remove all traces of evidence for Lin Xiyao?

"I'm sorry! I won't tell! I still want to live for a few more years! " Closing her eyes, Xia Xiaomin didn't care about her face anymore. It wasn't wise to quibble. There was still a chance for her to give in.

Zhong Luozhan didn't expect Xia Xiaomin to admit it so quickly. It was boring. But seeing her flustered and embarrassed, he felt that she was pathetic.

Was that the way she was asking to marry him? Looks like she really didn't want any dignity at all for the sake of money!

People could give up their dignity and status just for money. This was the kind of person Zhong Luozheng despised the most.

Fine! People die for money, birds die for food. This was human nature.

Although he looked down on Xia Xiaomin, she was also an interesting prey. He could play around with her and see how far she could go for money.

"I'll give you the money to keep your mouth shut, on condition that you don't tell anyone else, and that you accompany me to have a drink at Harl's bar."

Standing up, Zhong Luozhan put his hands into the pockets of his suit and looked down at Xia Xiaomin condescendingly with disdain in his eyes, which shone with a green light in the dark.

Although the surrounding light was dim, Xia Xiaomin could still feel the disdain and contempt in his eyes.

With a "whoosh", a wave of anger rose in her heart. Xia Xiaomin wanted to slap him again, and scolded him again, "Rich people are amazing!"

How imposing! How unyielding! However, reality forbade her to do so. Apart from selling her body, Xia Xiaomin thought she could still accept the idea of smiling apologetically.

He also said that he would give her a silent fee, and Xia Xiaomin had automatically translated it into the cost of buying the sensational news that she had seen.

Since it was a fair deal, she would gladly accept it! As for drinking a glass of wine, he would just treat it as a form of entertainment for the business!

She raised her eyebrows and wrapped her arms around her chest. She raised her head and put on a haughty expression, ignoring the disdain in his eyes and putting herself on an equal footing to talking business with him.

"Speak!" How much do you want to pay for the information? " No longer panicking or begging for mercy, Xia Xiaomin was emboldened by Zhong Luozhuang's request.

No matter what, he still had something on him! Besides, it was against the law to kill someone. No matter how rich this man was, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing, right?

After figuring it out, Xia Xiaomin suddenly felt confident. She changed her expression faster than she could flip a book.

Yo! Three points of color had opened a dyeing workshop? Seeing Xia Xiaomin's two faces switching freely, Zhong Luo's eyes widened.

He didn't expect this woman to be so thin and weak, daring to argue with him.

He had only intended to tease her, but when she heard that he was offering to pay her a silent fee, she put on that pug's fawning look. He hadn't expected her to talk to him like a businessman, not as humble as before.

In just ten minutes, Zhong Luozheng witnessed Xia Xiaomin's change. For a moment, the disgust in his heart lessened, and it was replaced by a growing interest in her.

He really wanted to see what Xia Xiaomin's true appearance was, and what kind of woman she was.

"One million and I'll buy it out." Zhong Luozheng followed her words and gave a price.

One... One million! Hearing this price, Xia Xiaomin's large, watery eyes opened wide, her mouth forming an "O" shape. If not for her bracing jaw, her chin would have almost fallen to the ground.

How much did she earn by working at the Hall? Xia Xiaomin dared not to imagine that it was just a scandal, and Zhong Luozhuang was willing to pay one million yuan for it.

Xia Xiaomin couldn't believe it, but she didn't know that a million yuan was just like the money she spent on soy milk and youtiao on her way to work.

"Yes or no?" Seeing her so surprised, not saying anything for a long time, Zhong Luo opened his mouth to remind her. He deeply felt that she was a country bumpkin. A million was already enough to make her flabbergasted.

Thinking about it, he wouldn't be the first one she fished out, right?

"Sure!" A million! Even if it didn't work, it had to work!

Xia Xiaomin readily agreed. Of course she wanted such a large sum of money! Although it was just a drop in the bucket for the huge amount of compensation, it was still many times more than the 250 yuan in his pocket.

He was indeed greedy! Seeing the desire for money in her eyes, Zhong Luozheng sneered, took out a cheque from his suit, and gave it to her at random.

"Take the money, keep your mouth shut." Zhong Luozhan watched as she carefully put the cheque away, then stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of her.

Xia Xiaomin lowered her head and stuffed the cheque back into her pocket. Only then did she look up with satisfaction, meeting his outstretched hand. Her brows couldn't help but furrow in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Xia Xiaomin didn't understand.

"You snuck a picture for me." She actually had the guts to talk to him, and that was to say that she had solid information. In order to fulfill her promise to Lin XIyao, Zhong Luozhan naturally had to return.

"Stealthily taken? Pfft hahaha! I didn't take the photos in secret. I saw them with my own eyes. " Xia Xiaomin was amused by Zhong Luozheng.

She didn't think that she would foolishly fall for his trap. However, since she had obtained the money, Xia Xiaomin couldn't spit it out at all.

"You!" Knowing that he had been tricked, Zhong Luozheng's calm face revealed a trace of anger.

"Sigh!" Sir, although I don't have any concrete information, but since I'm a staff member of Harl, if I tell the news to the entertainment magazine, they would use other means to find out that Miss Lin XIyao really lived here, and you and Miss Lin XIyao should have had quite a few rumors, right? "The magazine is only for the public to see. If they want to do something that's unrealistic, they can just write a bunch of stuff according to Harl's internal staff. When the time comes, it will be a lot of trouble, right?"

On the other hand, she was trying to dispel his thoughts of taking the money back.

In order to make a smile on her face, Zhong Luozheng probably wouldn't let Lin Xishan fall into a scandal just for the sake of money. Xia Xiaomin also had the confidence to make up such a ridiculous story.

Hearing her words, Zhong Luozhan felt that it was not without reason. He looked at the woman in front of him who was talking to him and couldn't help but stare at her small mouth that was moving up and down, unable to shift his gaze away.

"Cough, cough …" Discovering his peculiar gaze behavior. Zhong Luozhan coughed lightly two times to dissolve the awkwardness in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good mouth and a good brain." Xia Xiaomin was clearly threatening him and bluffing, but his focus seemed to have strayed …

"Aren't you worried that I'll tell you after I get the money?" Seeing that he didn't get angry from embarrassment, Xia Xiaomin approached him and asked in a probing tone.

"Then will you take the money and not do anything?" He didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable sense of trust towards this woman. Was it because she was not good at using her brain occasionally that he had an illusion?
