It wasn't just Pei Jin who coveted my position; there were others as well. Du Hengyan frowned slightly. The underground black market was far more complex than you could imagine, a thousand times over. Having strength and capability was merely the most basic requirement; nothing could compare to the principle of survival.
Chi Mu Jiu was stunned. The underworld, a realm she had only seen in movies and novels, now presented itself so vividly before her. She had never imagined that one day she would be in a romantic relationship with a powerful figure who ruled the underworld.
Noticing the seriousness of the topic, Du Hengyan sensed that she seemed a bit frightened by his words. He gently rubbed her small head and reassured her, "Don't worry, my lady. Looking across the entire black market, no one poses a threat to us."
Chi Mu Jiu tilted her head slightly upward. From this angle, Du Hengyan looked extraordinarily handsome. She still didn't fully grasp the extent of his influence, but from his demeanor and the respect others showed him, it was clear that, as he said, no one could shake his position.
Just as Chi Mu Jiu was about to ask more about him and the injured Ye Qi, Du Hengyan suddenly stood up and lifted her effortlessly into his arms. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Du Hengyan's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Your concerns and questions will be answered once you meet Ye Qi."
"Why do I have to meet Ye Qi to understand? Can't you tell me first?" Chi Mu Jiu asked in confusion, her curiosity piqued as she eagerly awaited an answer.
Du Hengyan shook his head slightly, his tone calm. "Some things are not for me to explain to you, even as an exception."
What could be so mysterious? Chi Mu Jiu furrowed her brows, her curiosity growing stronger by the moment.
Ye Qi, the trade of Pin, and Du Hengyan—what connection could there be among them? Various speculations floated through her mind, yet none seemed quite reasonable.
She decided to wait until the lady met him before considering whether to report it to the police.
Du Hengyan looked at Chi Mujiu with a smile that was not quite a smile, his gaze laced with a hint of mockery.
Chi Mujiu felt a surge of irritation at his words. Why was he bringing up the police again? Yet she held her complaints back.
Deep down, she already knew the answer. Du Hengyan understood her, just as she understood him. With his personality and style of doing things, he was certainly involved in something far more complex than mere underworld dealings; there must be countless shocking secrets hidden behind the surface.
Du Hengyan, you have too many secrets.
She gazed at him, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions.
Du Hengyan paused for a moment, then looked deeply into her eyes. "Yes, so I need to tell you these secrets one by one."
Chi Mujiu's heart stirred as she pressed on, "What is the price for knowing these secrets?"
A wicked smile crept onto Du Hengyan's lips. "To be forever tied to me."
Chi Mujiu lowered her head slightly, as if contemplating his words. After a moment, she raised her head, her eyes shining with determination. In the confined space of the elevator, her serious response resonated clearly:
"Then I cannot ask for it."
