CHAPTER 962: CHAPTER 962: IN THE FUTURE, WHEN I FIND FEMALE EVIL DEMONS, I’LL LET YOU CHOOSE FIRST

Quan Jinbei naturally knew that Wo Hezhe was grumbling about him.

However, he didn’t mind.

The reason he kept such a low profile was to keep an eye on Wo Hezhe.

And here it is.

He actually caught evidence of Wo Hezhe pocketing money for himself.

Wo Hezhe met Quan Jinbei’s all-seeing gaze and felt guilty.

"Bro, please don’t look at me like that. If you need any help from me, just say the word and I’ll definitely do it!"

Quan Jinbei glanced at him, "You can do anything I ask?"

"Uh-huh!" Wo Hezhe promised, "As long as you need anything, whether it’s climbing mountains or diving into fires, I’ll do it without fail!"

Quan Jinbei gazed at him deeply, "You said it."

Wo Hezhe’s heart trembled.

What’s this ominous feeling?

He thought to himself but didn’t show it on his face, smiling cleverly, "If there’s anything you need me to do, just say the word."

After saying this, he added hurriedly, "As long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate."

"What if you can’t do it?"

Quan Jinbei wasn’t someone to be easily deceived.

Wo Hezhe stammered nervously, "I-I can’t do it, then please spare me..."

Quan Jinbei sneered, "If you can’t do it, the thing you stole in front of me won’t be a secret."

This is a threat!

A blatant threat!

Quan Jinbei really left him no room to maneuver.

Yet, he couldn’t resist.

After all...

He was caught red-handed.

"Bro, please give me a chance, I promise to mend my ways and start anew."

Quan Jinbei: "Whether you mend your ways or not, what does that have to do with me?"

Wo Hezhe stared at him in shock, "Bro, we at least have some relationship, right? Wouldn’t you care if I live or die?"

Quan Jinbei made a dismissive gesture, "I have no relationship with you."

Wo Hezhe sighed morosely, "At least we’re friends..."

"Have you seen people make friends with food?"

Quan Jinbei’s words shot straight through Wo Hezhe’s heart.

He looked at Quan Jinbei incredulously, "Bro, do you really want to watch me die?"

Quan Jinbei pondered, "If you need me to see you off, I can do that."

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Ha ha.

No need.

Realizing there’s no benefit to gain from Quan Jinbei, he could only resign himself and agree, "Since you don’t want to establish a relationship with me, let’s just talk business."

As he said this, he painfully added, "In the future, when I find female Evil Demons, I’ll let you choose first."

Quan Jinbei’s lips twitched, "What did you say?"

Wo Hezhe repeated what he said and raised his hand in a vow, "Rest assured, I’m a reliable person, I’ll never threaten others with their little secrets like you."

Quan Jinbei clicked his tongue, "Are you subtly criticizing me?"

"How would I dare?"

Wo Hezhe certainly didn’t dare to admit it, uncertain of the consequences if he did.

"I’m straightforward and honest, not a hint of guile, rest assured. When it comes to keeping secrets, if I’m not first, no one dares to be."

Quan Jinbei gave him a deep look and hummed in response.

Wo Hezhe waited for a moment but heard nothing afterward.

He was a bit puzzled, "That’s it, no more?"

"What else do you want?"

Wo Hezhe waved his hand, "No, nothing..."

Inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, Quan Jinbei didn’t say he wanted to try the taste of Evil Demons.

That would have truly been disadvantageous for him.

If he had known Quan Jinbei would catch him, he shouldn’t have coveted that nibble of power.

Better than being under someone else’s control now.

However, it’s too late for regrets now.

Instead of focusing on regrets, it’s better to find ways to improve himself.

This lifetime, he has no chance of defeating Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei, that abnormal couple.

But that’s okay.

At least he can be the best sycophant.

As a sycophant.

He can diligently cultivate himself.

An ordinary lackey can be discarded at will.

But a special lackey cannot be discarded as easily.

The cost-effectiveness alone cannot be easily replaced.

What Wo Hezhe needs to do is become irreplaceable.

As long as he finds a way to stand tall enough, he is irreplaceable.

Thinking this, he was instantly motivated.

...

Shi Yaoguang didn’t know what happened between Wo Hezhe and Quan Jinbei.

The reason she didn’t let Quan Jinbei follow her into the cabin was to have him keep an eye on things.

Although Wo Hezhe surrendered, judging by his attitude, he wasn’t simple.

In such a situation, it’s naturally better to have someone watch him.

It’s just that Wo Hezhe lacked this self-awareness, otherwise, Quan Jinbei wouldn’t be needed.

After all.

Some people’s minds work that way.

He doesn’t dare usurp power.

But not daring to usurp power doesn’t mean he won’t accept bribes.

To prevent things like this from happening, supervision is necessary.

Of course, that’s not the main point.

The main point is that she didn’t think visiting the sick in the cabin would lead to any unexpected situations.

Yet.

She thought nothing unexpected would happen, but it did.

She entered the cabin directly.

Checked on the child’s condition and gave him an Elixir.

After taking the Elixir, the child quickly came to.

Shi Yaoguang helped with the pulse-check, confirmed his condition had stabilized, and prepared to leave.

The child’s mom was very enthusiastic, "Thank you, really thank you, without you, my child might have died..."

She rambled incoherently with words of gratitude, occasionally wiping away tears.

Those outside heard the commotion and came in.

Then they saw an extra person in the cabin.

"You, when did you come?"

Seeing an extra person on the ship jolted the newcomer.

But quickly, he recognized Shi Yaoguang’s face.

He stretched out his hand and, shaking, asked, "A-are you Shi Yaoguang?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

"Are you really Shi Yaoguang?"

Without needing Shi Yaoguang to assure him, he shouted excitedly, "Miss Shi, I’m your fan! Seeing you here is truly amazing..."

The man’s loud voice quickly spread outside.

Hearing that someone mentioned "Shi Yaoguang," people quickly reacted and pushed towards the cabin.

From far away, Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan also heard this.

Wei Lan looked towards the crowded area, unable to articulate her feelings, "Is she really here?"

Shi Kanshan nodded.

Previously, he suspected it might be Shi Yaoguang’s arrival that led to their rescue.

But not seeing her, he couldn’t be certain.

"Miss Shi, when did you arrive? Did you save us? How did you do it..."

Being enthusiastically surrounded, Shi Yaoguang felt a bit helpless, unsure of which questions to answer first.
