Chapter 629: Raise the Price! Keep Raising It Until They Accept Our Mission!

“No, the Miracle Doctor hasn’t appeared in the last six months ever since his visit to Country K’s President’s House. We can’t find any trace at all.” The mention of the Miracle Doctor gave Qin Fang a real headache, for they had never tried to find such a difficult person before. Not even Red Flame’s intelligence team could find the doctor.

He Yidu looked up. “Brother Cheng, it was Arctic Fox who picked up the president’s mission to find the Miracle Doctor, so they must’ve found him.” Otherwise, Gu Mang wouldn’t have been able to cure the First Lady so quickly.

What they could be certain of now was that the Miracle Doctor was either on friendly terms with the Shadow League or part of the organization itself. Shadow League had grown rapidly over the past two years and its intelligence network was almost on par with that of Red Flame. That was why, even if they knew that the Miracle Doctor might be a member of the Shadow League, they did not dare act rashly. Most importantly, Arctic Fox was not someone who could be easily trifled with. No one had succeeded in dethroning the Arctic Fox since their appearance as a hacker. Besides, the rest of the members of Shadow League were formidable opponents as well.

Lu Chengzhou placed his arm on the armrest, his fingers drumming against it lightly. A few seconds later, he said, “Issue a mission to Arctic Fox to find the Miracle Doctor.”

“But Arctic Fox only accepts one mission a year. What should we do if Arctic Fox refuses to accept our mission?” asked Qin Fang. He recalled how the Shadow League had rejected their missions on more than one occasion. The most outrageous thing, however, was that they then charged Red Flame ten times higher. He had only learned of this matter recently, but he could not help but wonder if they had been labeled as rich and stupid.

Lu Chengzhou took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and placed it between his lips before lighting it. His voice was calm and slow as he said, “Raise the price. Keep raising it until they accept our mission.”

He Yidu nodded. “Noted.”

Gu Mang was speechless as she thought, Tsk. How tyrannical.

…

Lin Shuang was equally at a loss for words when she received Gu Mang’s message.

Standing on the balcony of the bedroom, Gu Mang had a cigarette between her fingers while she typed on her phone with her other hand. [Get Yun Ling to check what Lu Chengzhou is up to.]

Thinking about it, it seemed that Lu Chengzhou was not tracking the Miracle Doctor so desperately solely for the sake of his grandmother. His search lasted for several months and had even expanded all the way to Changning County. Since she had already cured his grandmother, there was no reason for him to continue looking for the Miracle Doctor.

[Okay], replied Lin Shuang before sending another message. [I doubt he can find anything, though. We have very little information on Lu Chengzhou since he’s Red Flame’s leader and all.]

Just like how other organizations only know the code name ‘Arctic Fox’, Lu Chengzhou’s identity was kept a secret. His identity was actually a better kept secret than Gu Mang’s own identity.

Gu Mang flicked the ashes off her cigarette. [Just go check.]

Lin Shuang sighed and felt somewhat helpless. [Say, why are the two of you still playing hide and seek with each other when you are on such intimate terms already? Can’t you just ask him straight up?]

[It’s fun], replied Gu Mang simply.

Lin Shuang choked at that. [Is it a trend to force feed others with lovey-dovey displays these days?] Lu Chengzhou has led her astray!

Gu Mang smiled as she changed her posture and leaned against the railing. It won’t be fun if I ask him straight up.

She received another message right then, but it was from Sheng Ting this time. It read, [Boss, I heard that your military training has ended. How timely! I’m going to release a new album soon. Do you want to consider shooting an MV with me again?]

She rejected him flatly. [No.]

The idol was persistent, though. [Aren’t you short of money? We can split the profits by 60/40. You can have the bigger share!]

With a click of her tongue, she replied, [No need. I’m quite loaded right now, so I don’t have to sell my looks.]

[Fine…] Sheng Ting felt somewhat regretful as he sent another message to her. [I’ll send you the original copy of the song and leave the dance choreography to you, then.]

[Okay.]

…

When Lu Chengzhou came out of the bathroom after his shower, he found Gu Mang leaning against the bed with an earphone in her ear. He walked over to the bed and sat next to her. “What are you listening to?”

She looked up at him. “Sheng Ting’s new song.”

His dark eyes narrowed slightly at that.
