Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 889: Chapter 729

The man’s lip moved slightly, revealing a deep meaning that was almost a smile: "How did you recognize me?"

Meng Qianqian pointed to the empty bowl on the table: "Fetus-preserving medicine."

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "Oh?"

Waiting for her explanation.

Meng Qianqian said, "No ordinary person, no matter how kind-hearted, would go so far as to prepare fetus-preserving medicine for me, unless you know what I’ve been through."

Shan Cheng said, "Could it be that I had a doctor examine you?"

Meng Qianqian glanced at him: "Then you especially shouldn’t have given me fetus-preserving medicine; the doctor would have told you that my condition is perfectly fine."

Shan Cheng chuckled, "As expected of the Yin Hu Guard, I’m impressed."

His gaze swept over her slightly rounded abdomen and returned to her serene and stunning face, "It seems I was overthinking it. When you suddenly fainted, I thought you were having complications."

"That person was you?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Shan Cheng said, "Yes, it was me."

Meng Qianqian looked deeply at him, then turned her gaze away: "You’re lying."

Shan Cheng asked, "What makes you say that?"

He smiled, resembling a noble young master with clear and clean eyes, making it hard to associate him with the sinister and ruthless Loulan Witch.

In terms of disguise, he indeed surpassed the master.

Meng Qianqian said, "Some things don’t need to be stated too clearly; after all, you and I are just ships passing in the night, not much of a relationship to warrant me being so detailed."

Shan Cheng said, "What a sharp tongue. If I’d known earlier, I would have replaced this bowl of fetus-preserving medicine with a mute medicine."

Meng Qianqian said indifferently, "It’s not too late now; I’m in your hands, and ultimately it’s up to you."

Shan Cheng laughed lightly, "No, I’ve changed my mind. Suddenly I find it’s quite interesting to have someone like you to talk to."

Meng Qianqian said, "You’re really asking for it."

Shan Cheng smiled, unbothered.

He changed the subject and asked, "I’ve asked so much, reciprocally, you can ask me too."

"Where did you detain General Shang?"

Meng Qianqian got straight to the point.

Shan Cheng looked at Meng Qianqian with deep meaning for quite some time: "You’re smarter than I imagined."

Meng Qianqian: "Answer, as you promised."

Shan Cheng: "I thought you would ask me who the person you saw before fainting was?"

"Is it important?"

Meng Qianqian’s expression was so indifferent that one couldn’t discern her true thoughts.

Shan Cheng: "Oh well, it’s no harm telling you, Shang Family’s hostage was rescued by a group of Qiuci experts."

Qiuci experts... arranged by Yucheng Building?

Shan Cheng watched her silence keenly: "Don’t get happy too soon. Even if he escaped, it doesn’t matter. You are Chen Long’s sworn sister. With you in my hands, Chen Long will definitely walk into my trap. Having caught Chen Long once, I can catch him a second time. Then, using him as bait to lure the Shang Family hostage, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

Meng Qianqian said coldly, "I’m afraid you don’t have that capability!"

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "I’ve already spread your whereabouts around. I believe the West City will soon receive the news. Want to make a bet with me? Bet on whether Chen Long will be captured by me? Bet on whether the Shang Family hostage will come to rescue Chen Long?"

"Chen Long won’t come."

Meng Qianqian said solemnly, "Even if he wants to come, Lu Yuan and Si Snake will stop him."

In reality, she wasn’t sure.

But saying so was the most correct.

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn’t matter whether he comes; after all, we have something else that Shang Jue wants."
