Chapter 21: Chop Off Your Hand

Pursing his thin lips into a straight line, Pei Mingchen composed a text message and sent it.

Mu Qiannian changed into her clothes and came out. Pei Mingchen immediately locked his phone screen and switched to a safe identity.

Mu Qiannian sat down beside him. The atmosphere between the two of them was inexplicably quiet.

Pei Mingchen took the initiative to approach her and put his arm around Mu Qiannian’s shoulder. “Um, can you think about it carefully and not reject me without thinking about it, okay?”

Mu Qiannian did not confirm and only nodded.

Actually, she was also very conflicted. She did not mind being with Pei Mingchen, but it was just not the right time yet.

“Ding..”

A message came from the phone on the table. Mu Qiannian did not bother with it immediately.

Instead, she turned on the television and snuggled up to Pei Mingchen while watching half of the movie.

Halfway through, Mu Qiannian picked up the phone and said that she was going to the toilet.

Pei Mingchen did not notice anything wrong. He nodded his head and looked back at the screen.

Mu Qiannian turned on her phone in the toilet and opened the dialog box for Eighth Brother.

“Boss, the big boss of Intelligent Technology has invited you to discuss a collaboration. Do you want to accept the invitation?”

Mu Qiannian frowned.

Intelligent Technology?

Intelligent technology was a group with a rather strong background. Although it appeared to be doing electronic technology, there were countless industrial chains behind it.

However, if it really was the boss of Intelligent Technology, it seemed like she had to meet him because she happened to have thoughts about a troublesome piece of land.

However, Pei Mingchen had been too attached to her recently. If she proposed to leave now, would there be no way for her to leave?

Should she coax him later or make up a reason?

Anyway, although Pei Mingchen liked to stick to her, if it was a serious matter, he would not pester her.

“Alright, get the location and time. I’ll be there on time.”

Eighth Brother immediately sent, “Got it.”

After coming out of the toilet, Mu Qiannian returned to her seat with an uncertain expression and accompanied him to watch the entire movie.

When the message was sent, Mu Qiannian turned on the silent mode when she came out of the toilet.

She opened the dialog box. The time was 6:30 pm. It was in a private room in a hotel next to the Myriad Kingdom Metropolis.

When night fell, Mu Qiannian came out of her room with a surprised look on her face as she held her phone. “I have a business partner who suddenly invited me out. I might not be able to have dinner with you tonight.”

Pei Mingchen was stunned as he sat on the sofa.

Just a moment ago, he had been thinking of using some excuse to escape. He had not expected that he would be presented with a good opportunity this time around.

He turned his head around without batting an eyelid. “What an annoying business partner. I can’t even have dinner with you anymore.”

Mu Qiannian also replied without batting an eyelid, “That’s right. However, I can’t turn down an offer that comes my way, so I have to prepare for my departure.”

Pei Mingchen was very obedient. After Mu Qiannian left, he looked at the time on his phone.

Just in time.

He waited at the hotel for a while before he got up and left.

Mu Qiannian drove to a coffee shop. Eighth Brother was already waiting there.

Eighth Brother handed over his boss’s equipment. “Everything is here. Boss, you can change first. The car is waiting for you outside.”

Mu Qiannian nodded. She took the clothes and rushed to the bathroom of the coffee shop.

It was almost rush hour. If she did not hurry, she would be late and might even be stuck on the road.

After changing quickly, Mu Qiannian got into the car under the cover of Eighth Brother and drove all the way to the agreed place.

Mu Qiannian arrived at the reserved private room, but the boss of Intelligent Technology had not arrived yet.

Just as she sat down, she caught a glimpse of the decorative screen not far away.

It seemed that God was helping her. Eighth Brother did not come up, but a familiar but reliable underling came up.

“You, move that screen over here and put it here.”

Mu Qiannian used the screen and moved a chair to separate the reception area.

She sat on one side of the screen while the boss of Intelligent Technology sat on the other side.

Double protection.

Not long after they sat down, Pei Mingchen arrived.

His face was covered with a mask, and his decent suit displayed his figure to the extreme.

When Pei Mingchen entered, he saw a sudden screen and instantly understood the use of the screen.

He sneered. “Are you ashamed of yourself?”

Mu Qiannian, who was on the other side of the screen, froze and said coldly.

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

Pei Mingchen sat down on the sofa opposite the screen, his gaze fixed on the figure on of the screen.

“Do you always talk like this when you talk about cooperation?”

Mu Qiannian chuckled. “Under special circumstances, there has to be special treatment. If you have anything you want to know or ask, just say it. You don’t have to worry about me all the time.”

Pei Mingchen’s face was dark. Why were all the difficult people he met recently act so mysteriously? This made him very unhappy.

“Who are you exactly? Why are you so mysterious?”Pei Mingchen did not talk about anything else. He only wanted to investigate this mysterious person.

However, Mu Qiannian would not let Pei Mingchen get his way.

His repeated questioning was also excessive. Mu Qiannian’s originally gentle voice turned cold.

“Sir, I took the time to see you because I think highly of the Intelligent Technology behind you. Don’t push your luck.”

Both parties fell silent. Pei Mingchen furrowed his brows and stared at the screen unkindly.

Discontentment rose and he warned coldly, “Since that’s the case, I hope you can behave yourself and not covet the impossible. Do you understand?”

Mu Qiannian instantly understood what he meant by the impossible.

It was a piece of land, a piece of land that was difficult to take down. She had originally wanted to build a connection with it, but it seemed that it was not going to be easy…

Mu Qiannian asked, “Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Pei Mingchen was not weak either. “Yes, don’t extend your hand again. I don’t recommend letting me chop it off for you.”

Naturally, he was not talking about chopping off her hand, but the organization behind her.

His tone was serious. Behind her was the Mu Group.

It was something anyone could touch.

Mu Qiannian was very disdainful when she heard that. “Your verbal skills are not bad, but do you think you have the ability to do that?”

“Moreover, I have a lot of projects on my hands. I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Pei Mingchen looked away and the atmosphere around him was gloomy and cold. “What a woman who doesn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!”

Mu Qiannian was unwilling to be outdone. “What an arrogant and proud man!”

When Pei Mingchen saw that he could not continue the conversation with her, Mu Qiannian took a step back magnanimously.

“I know what you’re angry about, sir. It’s just that everyone has their own difficulties. I understand you, and I hope that you can understand me too.”

Pei Mingchen remained silent. He had his own plan.

Mu Qiannian took the initiative to speak, “Since you came to me, you must know that I’m working on a land project. Now, I have a chance to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate.”

Pei Mingchen said coldly, “Tell me.”

“The land by the river has been rebuilt, and the country has suffered a great loss as a result. I want to take over that land.”

Pei Mingchen snorted. “I just warned you not to touch that land.”
