Chapter 1342: Negotiating Business
After Lin Chen and Xin Xiaoqi sat down, he wrapped his arm around Xin Xiaoqi's waist, smiling as he said, "Brother Girl knows seventy-two positions, which one do you want to try tonight?"
Listening to Lin Chen's vulgar words, Xin Xiaoqi's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
What annoyed Xin Xiaoqi even more was that Lin Chen's wandering hands occasionally took advantage of her.
Lin Chen was clearly not acting; he was blatantly taking advantage of her.
However, Xin Xiaoqi was quite a qualified special agent, so even though Lin Chen was getting more outrageous, she still cooperated very well.
Her alluring expression and enchanting gaze could mesmerize any man.
Although outwardly cooperating with Lin Chen, Xin Xiaoqi was secretly cursing him in her heart.
"Damn punk, daring to take advantage of me, just wait to see how I'll deal with you later."
"Hey, aren't you done taking advantage of me?" Xin Xiaoqi's expression was still extremely ambiguous, but her face was a bit unsightly.
"Of course not, such a blatant opportunity to take advantage is not something I'd pass up, and you know it's all for work," Lin Chen said with a cheerful smile.
"Hmph, watch your influence, aren't you afraid those colleagues might tell Sister Na that you're taking advantage?" Xin Xiaoqi said, her face slightly red.
If her colleagues really saw Lin Chen so abusively taking advantage of her, how could she work in the future?
"Don't worry, their attention is all on that guy; from this angle, they can't see us."
Saying this, Lin Chen picked up a cherry and placed it at his mouth but didn't swallow: "Be good, open your mouth."
"What do you want to do?" Xin Xiaoqi's expression changed.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Of course, to feed you!"
"You!" Xin Xiaoqi was almost driven mad with anger.
"Hurry up, he's watching," Lin Chen said without moving a muscle.
Although Xin Xiaoqi's face turned red, she still gritted her teeth and took the cherry into her mouth.
Of course, during the process of eating the cherry, their mouths inevitably made intimate contact.
However, at the moment she ate the cherry, Xin Xiaoqi intentionally bit Lin Chen's lips in retaliation, causing Lin Chen to wince painfully.
Lin Chen rubbed his lips and asked, "Are you sure that guy hasn't noticed we're on a stakeout?"
"I don't think he's noticed us," Xin Xiaoqi said somewhat lacking confidence.
Lin Chen shook his head: "No, he has already spotted you; his demeanor is too calm."
"Impossible, we've been very careful," Xin Xiaoqi argued.
Lin Chen shook his head: "Being careful doesn't mean you won't slip up; for example, when you entered the hotel, did you notice any signals at the door?"
"What!" Xin Xiaoqi was taken aback.
"This guy appears foolish but is sharper than a monkey; he must have some early warning mechanisms, meaning we've long been exposed," Lin Chen calmly stated.
It suddenly dawned on Xin Xiaoqi: "This guy used to be extremely cautious, but recently I noticed he's getting more relaxed, no wonder, he's been putting on an act with us."
Lin Chen nodded: "We've always been careful not to alert him, but actually, this snake has long been alerted by us."
Saying this, Lin Chen looked at the chubby guy and said, "Didn't you notice that although this guy seems to be drinking with those two women, his eyes are scanning all around?"
Which means he sensed someone was trailing him but couldn't pinpoint who it was.
"Hey, you didn't mention he noticed us when you were taking advantage of me," Xin Xiaoqi suddenly felt like she had been duped.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Indeed, he might have noticed us, but I wasn't sure either, so we need to act more convincingly!"
"You sneaky guy." If they weren't on a mission right now, Xin Xiaoqi would've loved to give Lin Chen a good beating.
Xin Xiaoqi looked at the guy who was putting on an act and said, "Since he already knows he's being tailed, why not try to get away?"
Lin Chen chuckled: "This guy plays it white, at least has no criminal record with the police, so even if he's followed, he doesn't care. What grounds do you have to arrest someone without evidence, just on suspicion?"
"This guy is really cunning," Xin Xiaoqi said angrily.
"Actually, being discovered by him isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least it confuses him. He doesn't know if we're from official circles or underground forces, which is great," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Chen and Xin Xiaoqi observed the guy a while longer.
The fat guy was endlessly tangled with those two girls, just trying to waste time with them.
Lin Chen gave a faint smile: "Kid, you want to counteract our actions by doing nothing? I'm going to give you a little thrill."
With that, Lin Chen stood up straight and walked towards the fat guy.
Lin Chen walked directly to the fat guy's table and sat down opposite him.
The fat guy seemed prepared and, seeing Lin Chen, pushed aside the two girls beside him, slightly squinting his eyes, "This brother, is there something you need?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, pulled several hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, and tossed them to the bar girls: "You two scram, I want to talk business with this boss here."
The two bar girls, already tipsy, immediately perked up at the sight of the money, grabbed it from the table, and wobbled away.
Seeing the girls leave, the fat guy squinted his eyes slightly, "This brother, it seems we don't know each other. What business would we have to discuss?"
Lin Chen snorted coldly: "Cut the crap, my guys have been trailing you for days. You're with Tang Chao, right?"
"Who's Tang Chao? I only know Deng Chao, yeah, from Running Man," the fat guy said with a cheerful smile.
Lin Chen snorted coldly: "I'm sincere here; this business is a big deal. If you don't want in, just say it."
"How big could a big deal be?" The fat guy squinted disdainfully.
"Let me be clear, I'm with Eighth Master. There's been a crackdown locally, and I want to purchase a batch from you. I'll double the commission on the usual terms," Lin Chen said as he smoked, smiling at the fat guy.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the fat guy's eyes lit up.
Though they had already pledged allegiance to Tang Chao, they were still in the same line of business. However, there had been a crackdown on drugs in China recently, causing several partners to fall. It had been a while since there was any business.
Eighth Master was also a notable figure in the underworld, known as China's Drug Lord. They had collaborated a few times before, but then Eighth Master seemed to disappear.
Rumors in the underworld said Eighth Master had quit, while others said he got caught. In any case, the once famous Drug Lord suddenly vanished.
The fat guy squinted his eyes a bit: "Before, the person who did business with me was a guy called Monkey. Where is he?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "He got caught, so Eighth Master laid low for a while. Now that the heat has passed, Eighth Master wants to rebuild these connections."
"Hehe, while the deal seems big, sorry, I'm not in that business," the fat guy suddenly changed his tone, saying coldly.
