Hearing Qi Lianjun’s words, Wang Xiao did not feel anything special at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that these words were strange.

“My role in the plan might be more important than I imagined?”

The prerequisite for this sentence to be established was that Wang Xiao knew this plan and knew his position—which was to know his role in this plan.

However, the truth was that Wang Xiao knew nothing about this plan… Wait!

Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that he was not completely ignorant. Chen Jinrong had indeed once “arranged” something for him.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao looked at Qi Lianjun and probed, “Xiling Academy?

That was the first time Wang Xiao went to look for Chen Jinrong. Chen Jinrong asked him to give up on applying for Blue Planet University and choose the unknown Xiling Academy, but the other party did not explain why.

If Wang Xiao had already been included in Chen Jinrong’s plan, then this was the only information he could possibly know about.

Hearing Wang Xiao ask about “Xiling Academy”, Qi Lianjun was about to nod when he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. “You don’t know?!”

Wang Xiao pursed his lips and did not agree or disagree. Qi Lianjun immediately revealed a regretful expression. He covered his forehead and collapsed. “It’s over, it’s over! I thought you already knew… We’re in big trouble this time! The commander will definitely scold me to death!”

“Adjutant Qi, don’t be anxious.”

Wang Xiao pulled Qi Lianjun’s hand down. “In any case, you’ve already caused trouble. Why don’t you tell me in detail?”

“No way!”

Qi Lianjun rejected it without hesitation. “I’ve already made a mistake. Do you still want me to make another mistake?”

Seeing Qi Lianjun’s firm attitude, Wang Xiao had a thought and took out the

[Nirvana Mask]. He weighed it in his hand and slowly said, “Your life!”

Seeing the [Nirvana Mask], Qi Lianjun immediately revealed a difficult expression, but in the end, he still shook his head firmly. “I can’t say. If you insist on asking, I’ll return the life I owe you right here!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qi Lianjun reached out with lightning speed, grabbed a fruit knife, and placed it on his neck without hesitation!

“Put the Imife down. I won’t ask anymore, alright?”

Without another word, Wang Xiao immediately admitted defeat. If it were anyone else, he might check to see if they were bluffing, but there was no need for him to do so for Qi Lianjun.

Although Qi Lianjun usually spoke very little, he was a man of his words. If he said that he would attack in three seconds, he would definitely not wait for the fourth second.

Qi Lianjun also trusted Wang Xiao very much. When he heard the other party say that he would not ask anymore, he put down the knife without even asking for a guarantee. “What’s your third question?”

“That’s all.”

Wang Xiao sighed and smiled bitterly. “My original plan was to ask the last question according to the situation after asking about Commander Chen’s plan. Now that there’s no answer to the second question, there’s naturally no third anestion-”

Qi Lianjun also sighed when he heard this, as if he felt a little apologetic. “This matter was ordered by the commander, so I really can’t reveal it to you before I obtain commander’s permission.”

“It’s fine. I understand.”

Wang Xiao smiled and patted Qi Lianjun’s shoulder. “Then I’ll go back first. Have a good rest.”

After bidding farewell to Qi Lianjun, Wang Xiao had just walked out of the ward when Zhou Xiruo immediately welcomed him.

“How’s it going?”

Zhou Xiruo probed with anticipation, “Have you asked what you want to know?”

.. You’ve asked, right?”

Wang Xiao replied hesitantly and made a helpless expression. “However, just as

I resolved a problem, more problems appeared.”

Zhou Xiruo’s expression darkened. “Then what should we do? Or should we go find Commander Chen?”

“There’s no point in looking. He won’t tell me.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and took out the [Nirvana Mask] to cover his face. With a thought, he transformed into a middle-aged man. “Let’s go to the trading market to relax first. Coincidentally, I still have something to deal with. ”

In the public trading market, the Lord’s Shop.

The beauty in the cheongsam at the front desk was feeling bored. Suddenly, the door of the shop opened and a middle-aged man and a beautiful girl walked in.

“Welcome…

The beauty in the cheongsam subconsciously revealed a professional smile.

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the middle-aged man’s face blur. When it became clear again, it actually turned into a delicate young man!

“Mr. Wang?!”

The beauty in the cheongsam recognized Wang Xiao at a glance and the professional smile on her face immediately became much more genuine. ‘Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? Wait a moment. I’ll go look for Manager Lin now!”

Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, the beauty in the cheongsam ran upstairs.

Zhou Xiruo was surprised. She looked at Wang Xiao and asked in surprise,

“Why is that shop assistant so polite to you? Don’t tell me you’re a VIP here?”

Before Wang Xiao could speak, a man’s hearty laughter came from the stairs. “A mere VIP can’t compare to Mr. Wang. He’s the supply lord we value the most now! ”

With a laugh, a young man in a suit came down the stairs. It was the manager of the Kaiyang branch of the Lord’s Shop, Lin Xiang.

“Manager Lin.”

Wang Xiao smiled and greeted her. Then, he pointed at Zhou Xiruo beside him. “This is Zhou Xiruo. She’s my vassal lord.”

“Oh? So you’re Zhou Xiruo!”

Lin Xiang’s eyes lit up when he heard this, but he held half of Zhou Xiruo’s palm in a very gentlemanly way. “I’ve long heard Mr. Wang mention you. Seeing you today, you’re indeed shocking!”

Although Zhou Xiruo knew that she was beautiful, this was the first time she had been praised so unscrupulously. Her exquisite face immediately turned pink. She greeted him and hurriedly hid behind Wang Xiao.

Seeing that Zhou Xiruo was a little shy, Lin Xiang did not continue to be polite. He turned to Wang Xiao and asked, “Mr. Wang, did you come today to check out high-level beast eggs?”

“I don’t need high-level beast eggs recently. I’m here to deliver the goods today.”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he opened the interface and placed the eight units of [Black Gold Ore] into the trading column.

Seeing the [Black Gold Ore], Lin Xiang’s eyes instantly widened in shock. He looked at the calendar on the wall and asked in surprise, “Mr. Wang, didn’t you say that you needed a week? There are still two days before the delivery date.”

“The efficiency of gathering is a little faster than I expected.”

Wang Xiao smiled ambiguously and changed the topic. “Can’t I deliver the goods in advance?”

“No, no. Of course you can deliver it in advance.”

Lin Xiang waved his hand repeatedly, but he had a difficult expression on his face. “It’s just that the other supply lords will only come in two days. If you deliver the goods now, you can only store them in the shop first.”

“However, this sum of money is too much. There’s not enough money in my shop’s accounts for the final payment. I wonder if you’re worried…”

“Don’t suspect those you employ, don’t employ those you trust… Since I chose to cooperate with your shop, I naturally believe you.”

Before Lin Xiang could finish, Wang Xiao directly transferred the eight units of [Black Gold Ore].

Lin Xiang’s expression changed.

A unit of Black Gold Ore was 1,000,000 star coins. Although Wang Xiao had already collected half of the deposit, there was still a total of 4,000,000 star coins left.. The other party actually gave it to him so easily?!
