Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: Beauty Presents a Blank Check
The mysterious woman had long hair cascading over her fragrant shoulders, exuding an intellectual beauty matured by three parts.
However, her lips were thick, like sausages.
It was quite evident that the mysterious woman perhaps hadn’t anticipated Luo Yang’s appearance.
And in her mind, Hong Jiaxin should have been inside the room.
Yet she walked in from outside.
As a result, the mysterious woman suddenly beca alert.
If the mysterious woman were to throw a concealed weapon, Luo Yang could dodge, and it wouldn’t be much of an issue.
But Hong Jiaxin might be in trouble.
Luo Yang gently pulled Hong Jiaxin’s hand, indicating she should take a small step back, making it easier for him to protect her.
Given the current situation, Luo Yang had to exercise caution.
As long as he’s around, he won’t let anyone easily harm Hong Jiaxin.
Unless Luo Yang loses his head, he will fight the enemy to the bitter end.
Whether the mysterious woman is a friend or foe remains unknown.
Out of courtesy, Luo Yang couldn’t stare directly at her.
Approaching closer, when he didn’t see any intent to harm, Luo Yang felt it was temporarily safe.
The three exchanged glances.
“If it’s inconvenient, I’ll take my leave,” the mysterious woman said blandly.
There wasn’t any visible discontent, but this statent revealed her intent to conceal sothing from Luo Yang.
Hong Jiaxin looked at Luo Yang.
At tis like this, generally, Luo Yang had the final say.
“Miss, since you’re here, why not co in and sit for a while?” Luo Yang politely invited.
At this point, Bai Hui and the three sisters of the Gu family had arrived just at the turn of the corridor.
They were standing by, ready to support Luo Yang at any mont.
The mysterious woman contemplated for a mont, slightly nodded, then said, “You’re Mr. Luo, right?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yang was slightly taken aback.
Knowing his na indicated she ca prepared.
Luo Yang raised his guard a notch and, with a smile, replied, “Yes. My na is Luo Yang, but I haven’t had the pleasure of knowing your na yet.”
He asked casually, unexpectedly the mysterious woman was willing to reveal her na.
“My na is Lan Ya, as in orchid, and elegance.”
“Miss Lan, pleased to et you,”
He said this while giving her a glance.
If Lan Ya knew Luo Yang possessed X-Ray Ability, she would likely blush with embarrassnt.
The three stood at the door, but did not enter the room.
At that mont, Lan Ya said again, “Mr. Luo, may I speak with you privately?”
Strategic maneuver to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Luo Yang felt a jolt in his heart as his mind raced.
A trap in the room?
After all, Hong Jiaxin had been out for a while, and whether soone had sneaked in was uncertain.
If Lan Ya thinks she can easily harm Luo Yang, she’s mistaken.
However, Luo Yang suspected that if Lan Ya made a move, she would have the confidence to hurt him.
To consider, Luo Yang had exposed himself in many situations.
Any group interested in Blood Devil or Hong Jiaxin would know of him.
Therefore, Lan Ya likely understood Luo Yang’s skills and strength.
Even if not completely, at least seventy or eighty percent.
He wasn’t afraid of the hidden weapons she carried.
Luo Yang was only concerned if Lan Ya knew Techniques, that would be truly dangerous.
Since she wanted to talk, Luo Yang was also eager to hear what she had to say.
“Let’s talk inside the room,” Luo Yang said.
“Mr. Luo, you’re overthinking. I’m your friend. You can be at ease,” Lan Ya said with a smile.
Even a weasel likes to claim it’s kind.
Bad people often profess to be good.
eting Lan Ya for the first ti, who knows the true color of her heart?
To be safe, Luo Yang needed to inspect the room first.
“Just a mont.”
Then Luo Yang signaled Hong Jiaxin to open the door.
Once the door was open, Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin walked inside.
He checked every corner; it was safe.
So Luo Yang whispered into Hong Jiaxin’s ear, “Squad leader, wait for inside. I’m going to see what she wants to say.”
Hong Jiaxin nodded and cautioned Luo Yang, “Be careful.”
In dangerous situations, true friendship reveals itself.
One could say Hong Jiaxin already considered Luo Yang as part of her life.
Whatever Luo Yang said, Hong Jiaxin was willing to listen.
Right now, following Luo Yang’s instructions was her only option, as she was quite confused.
Once Hong Jiaxin was settled, he stepped outside the door, closing it behind.
Knowing Bai Hui and the three sisters of the Gu family were around the corridor’s corner, he pointed to the other side and said, “Let’s chat over there.”
He gestured for Lan Ya to go ahead.
Lan Ya complied, turning and walking ahead.
Arriving at the corridor’s end, the two stood firmly.
Luo Yang straightforwardly asked, “Miss Lan, may I know what you want to talk about with ?”
Lan Ya then took out a check from her handbag, the amount was considerable, imdiately apparent it was a significant sum.
She handed the check to Luo Yang.
Offering a check upon eting, such a generous move didn’t move Luo Yang to tears.
He knew one truth: there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
With a faint smile, Luo Yang didn’t reach out for the money, responding coolly, “Miss Lan, please forgive , my comprehension sotis isn’t great. May I ask if this check is a blank one?”
Upon hearing, Lan Ya chuckled coldly.
“Mr. Luo, you can verify its authenticity anyti,”
Luo Yang’s lips curled dismissively, and Lan Ya sensed what he was thinking.
“I can accompany you to verify it. Even bring your friends, if you wish to validate its genuineness.”
Luo Yang indeed pondered if Lan Ya planned to distract him, then abduct Hong Jiaxin.
“Miss Lan, that’s unnecessary.” Luo Yang still refused the check.
“This is for you. It’s what you deserve.” Lan Ya continued offering the check, not withdrawing it.
Is there a free lunch?
This eventually happening to him seed justifiable to Luo Yang.
Being re acquaintances, first eting, how could such a large sum be given freely?
Unless there’s an ulterior motive or a ntal aberration.
At this point, Luo Yang saw through Lan Ya’s intention and bluntly said, “Miss Lan, if you think you can buy , you’re mistaken. Although I’m yet to reach the level where I treat money like dirt, I don’t lack for such an amount.”
For soone like Luo Yang, who possessed incredible dical skills and the beauty stream, making money was only a matter of ti.
Others trying to sway him with money would struggle imnsely.
Lan Ya flashed a charming smile, then said, “Mr. Luo, after everything you’ve said, I think you’ve misunderstood. I ntioned this is for you, with no obligations whatsoever. You deserve it.”
Such fairy tale-like scenarios, how could they transpire in reality?
Luo Yang sneered, “Miss Lan, let’s be clear and open, what exactly do you want?”
In Luo Yang’s view, Lan Ya aid for Hong Jiaxin.
In other words, she wanted Luo Yang away from Hong Jiaxin.
Such a request, Luo Yang would thoroughly reject.
He’s present, Hong Jiaxin remains.
Lan Ya said, “Since Mr. Luo does not want to accept this, let’s forget it. I have so harsh words, if offensive, I beg your forgiveness.”
Upon hearing this, it was clear her next words wouldn’t be pleasant.
Luo Yang had survived many confrontations and had heard plenty of crude language.
Females who could curse to the extent that God San Shi loses control are rare.
Thus, Luo Yang didn’t worry about Lan Ya cursing his ancestors fervently.
“Miss Lan, say what you will. We might not be on the sa path. More talk is wasted breath,” Luo Yang candidly added.
