Lee Tao continued to feast himself with the cuisines on the table while glancing at Zuo Xiaoli occasionally.
"The Jade Restaurant's food is not bad, so why don't you enjoy so?" Lee Tao asked.
"I don't have an appetite." Zuo Xiaoli declined.
How can she still eat when Lee Tao is now practically holding a knife at her throat?
The feeling was extrely disgusting and if she could have killed him, then she wouldn't hesitate.
Unfortunately, she couldn't because not only would she beco the pri suspect if Lee Tao had died, but she feared for the mysterious expert in this room.
After all, she still couldn't detect nor tell when they made a move on creating the formation around them.
"I'm being kind here, so eat a piece of chicken," Lee Tao said as he picked up a chicken with his chopsticks and placed it in her bowl.
"I don't like to talk business with an empty stomach and making a woman starve is not my motto either."
Of course, everything he just said was a lie but he was imrsed in his role as a scholar.
A scholar always cares about others' feelings and makes sure they are feeling well, or at least that's what Lee Tao thought.
Zuo Xiaoli pondered for a few monts. Her eyes remained still at the piece of chicken that Lee Tao had picked up for her.
"Co on, I don't have all day here, Zuo Xiaoli."
Hearing his tone of speech, Zuo Xiaoli finally grabbed a pair of chopsticks as she ate the chicken.
"Now, that's more like it." Lee Tao praised her as they continued to eat.
Soti later, Zuo Xiaoli stared at Lee Tao and asked, "So what do you want to do exactly?"
He doesn't want her body, and besides her body, she really doesn't know what else she had is worth it for Lee Tao to take such drastic asures.
Money? Lee Tao does not lack any, especially after the successful auction event.
Reputation? Lee Tao's reputation is as high as Liu Ying's reputation.
Power? With Liu Ying by his side, what kind of power does Lee Tao lack?
This was what's going through her mind and honestly, she was correct in the first two points except for the last one.
Lee Tao placed down his chopsticks as he smiled at Zuo Xiaoli.
"Your underground gang… I want them to capture multiple people and bring them to ." Lee Tao said.
Zuo Xiaoli wasn't shocked that Lee Tao knew about her secret underground gang.
If her secrets that were kept hidden for so long were easily found out by Lee Tao, she doubts this information is any ground-shattering news.
However, she was confused as to what kind of people he wanted to capture.
"Any specific people?" Zuo Xiaoli asked.
"As long as they don't have much influence in the Tianyun Kingdom, I can easily have them captured by tonight." She added.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"I'm glad I chose you. Only a ruthless and decisive person such as you can handle the task without hesitation." Lee Tao praised.
For survivalists, they always knew what options to make.
Without speaking any more nonsense, Lee Tao threw a list of people for Zuo Xiaoli to see.
"Since I'm not a vile and evil man, I only want you to capture criminals."
Zuo Xiaoli raised an eyebrow.
The list was full of criminals and their facial appearance along with their current hideout is revealed in each of them.
'S-Such precise details… just how did he manage this?' Zuo Xiaoli was dumbfounded.
After scanning through the list, Zuo Xiaoli was confident she could capture them all.
Not only could she see their cultivation base, but she could also see their techniques and thods.
With this much information, she can easily send her army out accordingly to capture them.
"How fast do you want them?"
"No need to rush but it's better to be quick. I don't really have much patience."
"Is this all I have to do?"
Lee Tao flashed a mysterious smile.
"Let ask you this instead, Zuo Xiaoli. Would you let soone go easily after going through ticulous research on that person's dirt?"
"..."
Zuo Xiaoli didn't answer his question because the answer was obvious. There was no way she would let him go that easily if their role was reversed.
"I understand…" Zuo Xiaoli said as she stood up and prepared to leave.
"Oh right, before I forgot, next ti, please don't do so stupid sche against or my mother." Lee Tao warned.
Zuo Xiaoli rely nodded her head as she left the room.
Lee Tao was full of smiles as he could finally have people deliver him free profound qi to harness.
Of course, he could have easily ordered soone else to do the task, but then the risk would be too much.
It was better to have soone else, soone in the underground gang to do it.
That way, nobody would find it suspicious when people start disappearing as they will simply think it's so gang war for territory.
"Xiao Chu, make sure to keep a close scan on Zuo Xiaoli at all tis." Lee Tao said.
"Even though I have the upper hand now, who knows what kind of devious sche she might co up with in secret. I dare not underestimate a survivalist."
"Xiao Chu understands, I already laced her with so of my profound qi. She won't be able to escape the system scans."
Soti later, Lee Tao finished the curse as he was about to get up and leave.
Suddenly, the sa hostess who greeted him at the front door knocked on the door.
Lee Tao opened it as he raised an eyebrow.
"I don't need your sexual service." Lee Tao said calmly.
Alas, the next words uttered by the hostess almost caused Lee Tao to vomit blood in anger.
"I know that, but you still need to pay for the VIP room and my service even if you didn't use it."
'T-That damn bitch… she didn't foot the bill.'
