Chapter 921: 921, Ending Part 8 Chapter 921: 921, Ending Part 8 In the abandoned building, the old man sat on the only chair in the hall.

Song Qinghuan, Shi Annuo, and Han Qianqian stood surrounded in the middle, not far from the old man.

Seeing how the elder’s gaze swept over the three without returning and finally stared at her unwaveringly, as if observing something or plotting some mischief, Song Qinghuan thought for a moment and then said softly, “Elder, you simply want to use us to threaten Shi Yuhuan. Actually, just having me is enough; there’s no need for Shi Annuo and Han Qianqian. Why don’t you let them go?”

“Sister-in-law.”

“Song Qinghuan!”

Shi Annuo and Han Qianqian almost cried out at the same time, looking at her in astonishment, obviously disapproving of her approach.

“Negotiating terms?” The old man’s cloudy eyes fixed on Song Qinghuan, with a cold laugh in them, “What bargaining chips do you have to negotiate with me like this?”

Song Qinghuan raised her hand and patted her chest, “Me, I am the biggest bargaining chip. I negotiate with you using myself?”

The old man said coldly, “You are already in my hands.”

Song Qinghuan nodded, “Yes, I am in your hands, but if I die, not only will I be useless to you, but you will also enrage Shi Yuhuan. At that time, it will be too late for you to negotiate with Shi Annuo and Shi Yuhuan using me as leverage. So, it’s better to let them go, and I will stay and cooperate with you willingly. With my cooperation, whatever you want, Shi Yuhuan will agree to.”

Seeing Song Qinghuan’s calm and composed demeanor, still negotiating terms with him, the old man was slightly surprised, but soon he laughed, a laugh full of deep meaning, “It seems that this little white rabbit, after living with the fox for so long, has also learned to be cunning!”

Song Qinghuan laughed and replied, “Elder, look at what you’re saying. The phrase is ‘a cunning rabbit has three burrows’, not ‘a cunning fox has three burrows’, and ‘a cunning rabbit has three burrows’ means to protect oneself. So, I will definitely cooperate with you, as long as you let them go.”

The old man suddenly stopped laughing, “Whether you are a fox or a rabbit, I will not trust you. If you want to die, then die! I don’t believe that if you die, Shi Yuhuan will let his only brother also die without a proper burial.”

“Huff, huff!” Song Qinghuan feigned a tired breath and put on a helpless expression, “Well then, since it’s ineffective, I guess I shouldn’t die. I’m scared of death anyway. If the negotiation fails, it fails!”

As she spoke, she looked at the old man with a smile, “But I can guarantee that without my cooperation, you really will lose miserably, just like you said, without a place to be buried.”

“Stop playing word games with me.” The old man barked coldly, then instructed the people around him, “Lock them up.”

“Wait,” Song Qinghuan raised her hand.

Then, she looked at the old man with a smile, “Elder, since we’re already in your hands, what’s the hurry? There are two questions… there have been some issues since the incident, and Shi Yuhuan has never given me a straight answer. I know he always thought that Si Chen might be involved. Later, he might have realized that the matter was unrelated to Si Chen, but whether he found the answer or not, I don’t know, as he didn’t tell me, and I didn’t ask him. I was afraid to ask in case he hadn’t found the answer, not wanting to damage his male pride. But I’m sure you know the answer, so I want to ask you.”
