Chapter 370 A Special Xiao Cheng (Apologies For Absence)
Much to Chu Lingfeng's surprise, the head maid's expression softened considerably as he outlined his revenge plan.
She gestured politely towards the Western-style dining table. "Mr. Chu, please, have a seat. I understand what you're implying: you want my young mistress to invest in you and help you take revenge."
Chu Lingfeng quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no. I don't need her to take revenge for me. I just need some 'seed money' for revenge. I can handle the revenge myself."
"And once I've completed my revenge, my life and my Thirteen Supreme Needles will be at your young mistress's disposal!"
Even though Chu Lingfeng didn't know the young mistress's name.
Or even the exact extent of her power.
But the head maid before him had become his only hope for revenge.
Even without his ears, his still-handsome face should be enough to win her over a little, right?
The head maid smiled. "Mr. Chu, don't be so anxious. If we weren't planning to invest in you, why would I agree to see you? Perhaps..."
She pulled out a chair and sat down gracefully, resting her elbow on the table, her gloved hands clasped in front of her chin. "Perhaps we should first discuss your relationship with Su and Chi?"
Chu Lingfeng frowned instinctively. "Why would you need to know about them?"
"After all, she's the daughter of the God of War. You should be aware of the danger she poses."
Hearing this, Chu Lingfeng sat down and sighed. "Su Tao is indeed very formidable. After I used my divine needles to stimulate their potential, each of my bodyguards had physical abilities equivalent to an ordinary martial artist."
"Yet even those powerful bodyguards were knocked down by a single punch from Su Tao."
"Her father is still alive overseas and could return at any time. Your young mistress should indeed be careful."
"However, Su Tao isn't without weaknesses!"
A glint of coldness flashed in Chu Lingfeng's eyes. "Chi Xiao Cheng!"
"That thing that's neither human nor demon nor ghost is Su Tao's weakness. As long as we can capture her and use her as leverage, Su Tao will definitely give up resisting and let us do as we please!"
The head maid nodded slightly. "Why is this Chi Xiao Cheng neither human nor demon nor ghost?"
Chu Lingfeng was momentarily speechless, his brows furrowing even deeper.
Images flashed through his mind of the first time he saw her, lying dead in a hospital bed.
He raised his eyes to look at the head maid, his struggling expression quickly hardening into determination. "I may be exaggerating a bit, but it's absolutely the truth!"
Seeing the head maid nod, Chu Lingfeng continued.
"Chi Xiao Cheng should also be a martial artist, but she's very strange. She can create all sorts of illusions. I've traveled far and wide and seen a lot, but I've never encountered such methods!"
"Can you imagine it? One moment there's nothing in front of you, and the next, a monster with a gaping maw appears."
"More importantly, I'm quite certain that Chi Xiao Cheng was dead before, but she miraculously came back to life after lying in the hospital for a month!"
The head maid raised an eyebrow. "Brought back from the dead... How are you so sure she was really dead? Could she have been feigning death?"
"Absolutely not feigning death!" Chu Lingfeng said in a low voice. "I'm a doctor myself. The brothers on the streets are kind enough to call me a miracle doctor. I confirmed that Chi Xiao Cheng's heart had stopped beating at the time."
"But the fact is, she's now alive and kicking and going to college!"
Chu Lingfeng went on to describe a series of Chi Xiao Cheng's strange behaviors.
After speaking, he returned to the previous topic. "Head maid, I believe you can see the potential benefits to be gained from Su Tao and Chi Xiao Cheng. If I take my revenge, I'm willing to hand over their corpses to you for research!"
No one would be unmoved by a corpse that could be brought back to life.
However, to Chu Lingfeng's surprise, the head maid didn't nod in agreement immediately. Instead, she said slowly, "We can fund you, but you must not harm this Chi Xiao Cheng. You must bring her to me alive."
"As for Su Tao, you can do whatever you want with her."
"And considering your limited intelligence, I'll send someone else to help you and provide you with strategic advice, instead of letting you act recklessly."
Chu Lingfeng stood up abruptly. "What do you mean, head maid? My intention to cooperate should be obvious, but you're just stringing me along?"
Sending someone else to participate in his revenge plan.
It sounded nice to say they were offering strategic advice.
But who couldn't hear that, between the lines, they were asking him, Chu Lingfeng, to be a guide?
Moreover, he hated Chi Xiao Cheng the most, and now they were saying he had to bring Chi Xiao Cheng over intact?
What about his revenge!
The head maid's expression didn't change. "Mr. Chu, don't think everyone is as stupid as you think. What's the difference between your so-called cooperation and drawing a pie in the sky? We can still capture those two people without you."
Chu Lingfeng understood the unspoken meaning in her words.
"Capture the two of them?"
He immediately questioned, "Did you choose to see me because of those two? And not because you valued my divine needles!"
The head maid shrugged. "What's so special about your unorthodox skills that deserves our attention? To be honest, the young mistress has many pawns at her disposal. We don't need you."
"If you're not willing, then please leave."
The head maid also stood up, seemingly intending to see him off. Chu Lingfeng's expression flickered erratically. "I agree, but I want to know why the young mistress is only targeting Chi Xiao Cheng?"
The young mistress was far away overseas.
If she had a conflict with Su Dingtian and knew Su Tao, that was understandable.
But Chi Xiao Cheng's background information showed that she was a native of the countryside.
Why exactly did she catch that person's eye?
It seemed like they had been investigating for a long time.
Before Chu Lingfeng arrived, they already knew about Chi Xiao Cheng and Su Tao's situation and were targeting them?
Chu Lingfeng couldn't figure it out.
He wanted the head maid's answer.
However, the elegant woman in the maid's uniform simply smiled politely. "The young mistress has her own decisions and ideas. Mr. Chu doesn't need to worry about them."
"And I wish us... a pleasant collaboration."

Ps: I caught a bad case of the flu, so there's only one update today. I'm very sorry, dear readers.
I'm vomiting and having diarrhea with a high fever, and my whole body is aching and weak. I really don't have the brainpower or energy to write the second chapter. This chapter was squeezed out while I was getting an IV at the hospital, at least to give everyone an explanation so you wouldn't be left without a single chapter all day.
So I'm taking a day off today, just to rest.
I should feel much better tomorrow. I'll continue with three updates then. Also, everyone doesn't need to worry about it ending soon. After the two fruits are crossbred, they'll still release a lot of sugar, so please read with peace of mind.
Thank you all for your concern. Readers, please take care of your health too~
