Chapter 80 This hunt has become boring

an old man in Donghuang for a long time. I really don't know what Mengjie thinks. For a useless Jian Tong, she fired these two people."Never mind, never mind. Let her recuperate properly. As for the...Kane's face, more beautiful than any woman's, remained calm and serene, giving away nothing.

Just by looking at Jian Tong, he felt... Maybe this hunt could come to an end.

Jian Tong can love money, for only then can he grasp her weakness and approach her again and again, hunting this prey little by little.

In this hunting game, money is the bait; she is the prey.

The fun of hunting lies in the struggle of the prey, the process of the hunt itself.

But when this woman opened her mouth and asked him for money... Cain felt that the game of this hunt could end because... it was too cliche.

"It's getting late, I should be going." Caine patted his suit pants and bid farewell with an air of nonchalance.

Jian Tong pursed her lips and said, "I'll see you off."

"It's alright." A faint voice, and in this situation, anyone would probably find it awkward.

He was too obvious.

"No, I still want to give it."

Jian Tong closed the door. This time, she was going to see this man downstairs. He had been here several times before, and she had only taken him to the dormitory entrance. But today, she made an exception and sent him downstairs.

"Ms. Jian," Caine suddenly laughed, a hint of impatience in his brow: "Five million, I have. But I, don't want to give it to you. ...Because, just now, your bowl of scallion oil noodles is no longer worth ten million."

Five million dollars, for Kane, it wasn't a big deal at all. For example, one of his good sports cars would cost more than that.

Suddenly, I felt nauseous. The bowl of scallion oil noodles I just ate seemed to have gone bad all of a sudden.

Jane remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Mr. Kane, I never said my supper was worth one hundred thousand dollars. You offered it because you thought it was worth it, and I need money, desperately. So I accepted."

Why do I have to accept it even though I personally feel it's not an equal exchange

You probably forgot, I'm a whore who would do anything for money.

I am short of money, five million dollars. How important is this five million

"It's crucial, if I don't come up with the money by the deadline, I stand to lose something very important."

"That has nothing to do with me." Kane's face was impassive... The hunt, it is over.

He glanced at his wristwatch again: "I've wasted a lot of time, Ms. Jian. I apologize for the trouble. From now on, there's no need to meet again."

“I thought so too, which is why I sent you downstairs.” She paused for a moment, then said in a calm tone: “Mr. Kane, thank you. And there’s one thing you got wrong,”

"We're just strangers, so there's no 'after'."

From now on, it's reserved for important people.

Jian Tong finished speaking, a cold wind blew, she tightened her clothes, and turned to walk slowly down the hallway.

Cain suddenly grabbed her: “What do you mean What do you mean, you also thought this way, so you sent me downstairs”

The more Cain thought about it, the more she felt something was off. What did she mean by that … It seemed like the person who just asked for five million wasn't her at all.

Is it simply a matter of saving face, or…

"Sir, release your grip. Our decisions are the same, so why dwell on what I meant"

What does it mean Is it important

Anyway, she didn't want to see him again, and he felt there was no need to bother her any longer.

Thus, you agree and I agree, opinions are consistent, what's wrong with that

As for "what does it mean," is that important

"No." Cain felt even more puzzled. "You have to be specific, or you're not going up tonight either."

Jian Tong was furious inside. Was this person too domineering

"It's okay if you don't say anything, I have plenty of time to waste with you. I can just keep going until tomorrow when you go to work. Then, if you still don't say anything, you won't have to go to work."

A wave of disgust washed over her. Jian Tong fell silent for a moment, feeling in her heart that if she didn't speak up, this person would really do it.

"Didn't I just say, five million is more important to me than my life," she said slowly, "but even if it's so important, even if Mr. Kane were willing to give me this five million that is more important than my own life, I wouldn't want you to touch my wounds again.

"

It's not just you, nobody can!

So, I think I won't see Mr. Kane again. Sending you downstairs is like saying goodbye. Thank you for your money, and you... for eating my scallion noodles."

If there were no Kane, maybe this bowl of scallion oil noodles would never have been tasted by anyone in this lifetime... She just thought, by replacing that person, someone else had also tasted the scallion oil noodles she once made especially for him.

"Thank you... for always eating that bowl of noodles clean, not a single bit left. Thank you... it finally has a trace of its existence."

She drew the large hand down from her arm, hunching her shoulders and bowing her back, gripping the banister as she climbed the stairs.

Kane's face was unreadable.

She... said five million, what does that mean

But it was I who misunderstood

If someone else said this, Kane would absolutely not believe it, he'd only think the other person was trying to make excuses. But coming from her, this woman... Kane couldn't find the words to describe his feelings.

Suddenly, he shot up his long legs, like the wind, catching up to Jian Tong as she climbed the stairs. He stood on the stair below her, and from behind, clasped his hand around Jian Tong's neck.

Even though Caine was a step shorter than Jian Tong on the stairs, standing behind him still made him taller. His strong and long arms held Jian Tong tightly. Suddenly, Jian Tong’s shoulders sank, and Caine suddenly lowered his head, bringing it close to Jian Tong's ear and said dangerously:

"Talking too much leads to mistakes, you shouldn't have answered me in the end. It makes me... more interested in you."

Jian Tong remained silent, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Ms. Jian... you're actually a very cold person."

Jian Tong remained silent, offering no rebuttal.

How could she not know her own coldness... Who could stay in that place where the sun couldn't shine, for three years, and still be passionate and loving

In that place, meddling in other people's affairs is harmful, for instance... Ah Lu was precisely because she meddled in other people's business that during her prime years, before they could bloom, they withered. A life, just like that, was lost.

Mr. Kane, I bid you farewell.

She reached out to push him away, but only felt herself being forcefully turned in another direction. The next second, Kane had her two hands twisted behind her back.

"What are you going to do!"

"In reply to Little Tong, Kain reached out with a hand, his long fingers parting her hair from her forehead."

Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening in alarm: "Stop! Stop!"

No matter how she struggled, her hands were pinned behind her back by Kane. Kane’s magnetic voice, laced with playful mockery, said, “Don’t move, you can’t escape.”brows narrowed coldly, "Quiet down, we General An is working. He doesn't like to be disturbed."Vivian's reaction, in Ding Nuan's eyes, was undoubtedly guilty.Suddenly, a cold laugh arose in my heart:...
