WANG HONGWEN: sips wine, smirking You think you can play me, huh? You ain't got the guts.
throws a glass of wine across the room Caught you, huh? That's right, sweetheart. I caught you red-handed.
I was going to hand you your gift
leans in close, his voice dripping with sarcasm A gift, you say? What kind of gift could make up for your blatant disrespect?
my respect, my devotion, my love, my sexy body🥺🥺
laughs mockingly Oh, you think you can buy me off with your love and devotion? You really think I'm that cheap?
no, I’m poor, homeless and unemployed. I have nothing.
leans back, smirking Well, well, well, look who's finally admitted their desperation.
grabs MountainEcho by the collar, pulling them close Desperation is one thing, but stupidity is another.
tightens his grip on MountainEcho's collar, his voice low and menacing Kill you? Oh, sweetheart, I'm not going to kill you.
releases his grip on MountainEcho's collar, his expression shifting to one of amusement You know, there might be a way for you to make it up to me.
smirks, leaning back in his chair Very well. If you want to prove your worth, then I'll give you a chance.
what do you want me to do
grins, his eyes gleaming with mischief I need someone to handle a little problem for me. It seems that one of my business partners has gone AWOL.
and you need me to find them?
nods, his gaze intense Precisely. I want you to use your skills to track them down and bring them to me.
leans forward, his voice firm Here's what I want you to do, MountainEcho. First, gather any information you can find.
slams his fist on the table, his voice commanding On my business partner, Lin Lu.
smirks, his tone taunting Oh, Lin Lu has done quite a few things, sweetheart. He's been embezzling funds, engaging in illegal activities, and tarnishing my reputation.
how did you catch him stealing money from you?
leans back, a wicked smile playing on his lips Oh, sweetheart, I always stay one step ahead of the game.
and why do you think I’ll be any good at tracking him down?
chuckles, his gaze unwavering Because, MountainEcho, I've seen the way you operate. You're resourceful, cunning, and persistent.
so, what are you waiting for?
leans back, a devious grin spreading across his face Now, MountainEcho, remember, this little mission comes with a price.
points a finger at MountainEcho, his voice sharp Failure is not an option here, sweetheart. If you fail to bring Lin Lu to me, consider yourself blacklisted.
