"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"

Su Chen asked, surprisingly not expecting Shen Lin to seek collaboration with him.

"Mr. Su, let's not beat around the bush. You can probably guess my intention; I aspire to become the Shen Family Head,"

Shen Lin said confidently:

"And you, Mr. Su, I presume the reason you humiliated those young masters that day wasn't simple at all. You must have had your own purpose."

"Although I currently don't know what help you could offer me or how I could assist you, it doesn't prevent us from establishing a cooperation intention."

"There might come a day when I will need Mr. Su, or when Mr. Su might need me."

"Even if we never need each other, it won't be a loss for either of us. We can consider it making a friend."

"Aren't you afraid I will tell Shen Shao about our meeting today?"

Su Chen sipped his tea and asked with a smile.

"You won't. The young masters you humiliated that day are almost all on good terms with him, even looking to him for leadership,"

Shen Lin spoke confidently:

"You may not become enemies with my younger brother, but you definitely won't become friends."

"Even if you did tell him, what makes you think he would believe you? And even if he does, it would merely hasten things that were bound to happen, leading to an earlier showdown at most."

"While there is a certain risk involved, Mr. Su, my instincts tell me that you are worth taking this risk for!"

Shen Lin stated solemnly in conclusion.

After hearing this, Su Chen began to look at him in a new light!

He lamented once again how the powerful families of Yandu were all blind!

Such a person, with the qualities of an ambitious and capable leader, was overlooked by them as if he were just a patch of useless mud on a wall!

Compared to the dazzling Shen Shao, Shen Lin was undoubtedly more competent and a more dangerous figure!

"In that case, let's hope for a pleasant collaboration,"

Su Chen raised his teacup, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful smile.

Shen Lin's previous words made sense; there was no loss for him in this.

Their agreement was entirely informal, simply a tacit understanding between them, without any coercive obligations.

Moreover, Su Chen also wished to plant a 'nail' within the inner circles of the Five Great Families, particularly the Shen Family, which he significantly suspected.

Honestly, Su Chen almost felt as if Shen Lin was a gift from the heavens!

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, a delighted smile swiftly spread across Shen Lin's face, and he too raised his teacup.

"Qi Meng, join us," Su Chen said with a slight smile. "Without Miss Qi Meng, this collaboration would never have happened."

"You flatter me, Mr. Su."

Qi Meng also smilingly raised her teacup.

The three of them gently clinked their cups together, then each took a sip.

Although the two had just formed a preliminary cooperative intention, they both understood that it was natural for each to have their own agenda, and even turning against each other in the future was commonplace.

"Shen Lin, you truly have a knack for deception; you've managed to fool the entirety of Yandu."

Su Chen said with a light smile.

"There's no choice, in today's society, there are simply too many clever people, and not enough fools to go around, so I had to play the fool,"

Shen Lin replied with an amused smile:

"Consider it contributing to the ranks of fools."

"Talking of which, I'm quite curious about one thing. My intentions are clear, and I believe you can guess them without me saying, but your objectives, Mr. Su, are something I truly can't fathom."

Shen Lin tentatively asked,

"Mr. Su, could you possibly reveal a bit? Perhaps I really can offer some small help."

As soon as he said this, even Qi Meng looked curiously towards Su Chen.

In fact, she also found it strange what dealings the formidable King of the Netherworld had with those major families of Yandu.

After all, although the major families of Yandu may seem just so, the waters run deep within them. Even the power behind her seemed to be very wary of them.

"You will naturally come to know when it is time to know."

Su Chen smiled mysteriously. How could he possibly reveal his true purpose to Shen Lin?

"Since Mr. Su is not convenient to say at the moment, I will not insist,"

Shen Lin was obviously someone who knew when to stop. Hearing this, he knew that Su Chen was unwilling to speak.

It was no surprise; one can't delve too deep with superficial relationships.

However, he didn't care too much. What he was concerned about was merely the position of the Shen Family Head.

Just then, Shen Lin's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his pupils shrank, and then he said with a faint smile,

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

After saying this, Shen Lin picked up his phone and walked out of the room, leaving only Su Chen and Qi Meng inside.

Qi Meng suddenly realized that Su Chen was looking at her with a half-smile and started to feel a bit uneasy.

"Miss Qi Meng, I've fulfilled your request. What about my request? When do you plan to fulfill it?"

Su Chen asked with a frivolous tone.

Qi Meng instinctively wanted to evade, but then she thought of the mission that envoy gave her—the mission to seduce the King of the Netherworld—and suddenly, her beautiful eyes shot out a captivating look.

"It's all up to you, Mr. Su, isn't it? How could a weak woman like me possibly resist?"

Women are indeed born actors. At this moment, Qi Meng's face showed a pitiful charm that made one want to protect her.

In fact, for Qi Meng, facilitating the cooperation between him and Shen Lin today was just a protective wall she erected for herself.

It would make Su Chen think that she was trying to curry favor with him for Shen Lin's sake, and not suspect the power behind her.

"In that case, why don't we just do it here? It's quiet and peaceful. Since Shen Lin was willing to send you to seduce me the day before yesterday, he surely wouldn't mind if we do some things here, right?"

As Su Chen spoke, he had already moved to Qi Meng's side and then scooped her up from the lounge chair.

"Mr. Su, you..."

Suddenly being picked up by Su Chen, Qi Meng instinctively struggled for a moment.

"Just now, you said I could do whatever I wanted, so why are you thinking of reneging after less than a minute?"

Su Chen's lips curled into a sly smile.

Qi Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly resumed her pitiful demeanor,

"I was just frightened by you earlier."

"Then I'll be gentler,"

Saying this, Su Chen swept all the tea sets onto the floor and slowly laid Qi Meng on the table. His hands propped on either side of her, he began to lower his head toward hers.

Qi Meng looked at Su Chen's face drawing closer, heard his increasingly heavy breathing, and immediately became extremely nervous, feeling cold sweat in her palms.

Su Chen, of course, noticed her panic and unease, yet he still lowered his head further until his face was only a dozen centimeters away from hers!

Unable to bear this torment any longer, Qi Meng suddenly pushed Su Chen away, her face blushing, and said,

"I—I got my period today."

Su Chen couldn't help but burst into a bitter smile at her words. He hadn't expected that, in the end, Qi Meng would come up with such a lame excuse...
