Chapter 351: Chapter 324: Didn’t get enough last time, stab her again_2

The security guard bent down to pick up the money, returning one bill to him.

"Hmm?"

The guard’s actions completely bewildered Liu Zheng.

Either don’t accept it at all or take it all, what’s with taking only half?

"He committed suicide."

The guard said.

"Suicide? Is that still necessary here?"

He sneered.

In the Metropolis, almost every company held the power of life and death over their employees, varying only in the extent of their rules.

Based on that guard’s behavior, it would be enough to warrant the death penalty in any company.

"To be precise, he self-detonated. If it weren’t for his self-detonation causing chaos in the building’s security systems, that troublemaking delivery guy wouldn’t have escaped."

The guard gave him a meaningful look.

"Is that so? That’s really too bad."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

Such people were so rare in the Metropolis. With each death, there was one less.

"Due to the last incident, this building has strengthened its property management. All delivery personnel wanting to enter must go through a security check."

The guard continued.

"What kind of security check?"

He asked.

"Enter that room, there’s someone specially assigned for security checks there."

The guard pointed across.

Liu Zheng looked over and saw that the wall and facilities damaged by the tank had been repaired, and where there once was a blocked wall, there was now a door.

"Do delivery personnel from places other than Bloody Restaurant also need to go through the security check?"

He asked.

"Of course, we’re just enforcing normal, enhanced safety management, not targeting anyone in particular."

The guard replied.

"Uh-huh, I believe you."

"If you’re carrying any lethal weapons, it would be wise to store them elsewhere in advance. The security checks in this building are extremely strict, even a piece of paper folded into the shape of a firearm would be confiscated."

The guard stressed the word "paper."

"Hmm?"

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

He was all too familiar with this spiel, and he understood it without emphasis.

But why would the guard want to help him?

"I’m not here to deliver food; I’m here to discuss a matter."

Liu Zheng stated.

"To which room? To see whom? About what?"

The guard flipped open the record book and fired off a series of questions.

"To room 403, to see Wang Manni. Last time I stabbed her, it wasn’t satisfying enough, so I came to give her another go."

He said with a smile.

"...Wait, I need to verify that."

The guard picked up the phone on the desk.

"Hello, Manager Wang? There’s a delivery guy downstairs who says he wants to come up and stab you again to make it more thrilling."

He said loudly.

"Okay, I understand."

The guard hung up the phone.

"Alright, you can go up."

He walked over to the turnstile and swiped access for Liu Zheng.

"Remember, once you’re up there, don’t wander around; we’re watching you."

He pointed to the ceiling and spoke with a stern tone.

"Remembered."

Liu Zheng’s sleeve slipped, and a wad of bills fell to the ground; this time, he said nothing.

But after he passed through the turnstile, the guard silently picked up the bills and tucked them inside his large-brimmed hat.

Upon entering the elevator, the operator had changed, replaced with one with an ultra-realistic face.

"Where’s Jennifer?"

Liu Zheng frowned and asked.

Could it be that he hadn’t stabbed her viciously enough last time and had been discovered?

"Which floor are you going to?"

The elevator operator flashed a programmatic smile.

"Answer my question."

He asked coldly.

"Which floor are you going to?"

"Answer my question, otherwise, your face will end up just like mine."

Liu Zheng pulled out the boning knife and traced it across his face.

The freshly grown skin was scraped off again, and blood dripped onto the elevator floor.

"You... which floor are you going to?"

The elevator operator shrank back and inquired.

"Or would you prefer to have this face?"

Liu Zheng, struck by a thought, took out the delivery bag.

"She resigned."

The elevator operator’s eyes brightened as he said softly.

"Hmm?"

"It’s true, she resigned on her own initiative. She’s lucky she resigned early, otherwise, she would have been in trouble with the subsequent internal investigation,"

The operator added quickly.

"So where did she go after resigning, do you know?"

He asked.

"It seems like we’re heading back to the Old City District, right? I’m not too sure myself,"

the elevator operator pondered.

"Very well. Here’s a reward for you,"

Liu Zheng said as he slammed the takeout bag onto the face of the elevator operator.

With a shriek, the operator clutched the takeout bag tightly, a look of bliss on their face.

"Which floor would you like to go to?"

Immediately after, they asked in a mechanical tone.

"403."

As the elevator doors opened, Liu Zheng went straight to apartment 403’s door.

The door opened by itself without him having to push.

"Welcome, Mr. Liu, to apartment 403."

Wang Manni stood at the door, her smile blooming beautifully.

"Welcome, Mr. Liu, to apartment 403."

All the staff behind her stood up and chimed in unison.

"Good, carry on with your work. I’ve brought some afternoon tea, even though it’s not afternoon yet—make do with it."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacles as he spoke.

"Now, thank him, Mr. Liu."

Wang Manni hurriedly instructed.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!"

The staff exclaimed with a touch more sincerity in their voices this time.

After handing the items to his assistant, Liu Zheng followed Wang Manni into her office.

"The Deputy Director knew you were coming and specially got this tea for me to let you taste,"

Wang Manni said as she took a small tea caddy out of the safe.

"Let me see."

Liu Zheng took the tea caddy and lifted the lid.

Upon opening it, a strange scent of tea invaded his nostrils.

He couldn’t help but shiver, and then his body warmed up slightly.

Liu Zheng looked inside the caddy where pink tea leaves lay on wax paper, separated layer by layer.

Without looking, he knew that the number of tea leaves in each layer must be the same.

"This jar of tea is specially prepared for you. The Deputy Director said if you like it, he has more,"

Wang Manni mentioned.

Just as her words ended, an item description popped up.

"Name: Secret Recipe Pink Jar Tea (Disposable)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Greatly extends ’loving’ duration, enhances ’loving’ experience."

"Note: Consuming in the office yields even better effects~"

"Can be taken out of the instance: No"

A question mark slowly appeared above Liu Zheng’s head before he looked at Wang Manni.

All he saw was the manager lady blushing, even her Insect Limbs were intertwined together.

"Never mind, I don’t like pink."

He put the lid back on and placed the tea caddy onto the table.

Only then did he notice that those leaves were not tea leaves, but insect skins that had been dried and pressed.

"Then I’ll get something else for you,"

Wang Manni said dejectedly as she put away the tea caddy and made a different tea for Liu Zheng.

This time it was just ordinary tea leaves, with no special effects, but the flavor was not bad.

"You’re doing quite well as a manager,"

he commented, sipping his tea.

"It’s all thanks to your help,"

Wang Manni quickly said.

New leaders looking to secure their footing either rely on strength or relationships.

She had no opportunity yet to display her strength, but with the Deputy Director’s support, her position was relatively secure.

"It’s not all my doing, your own efforts have also played a role,"

Liu Zheng commented nonchalantly.

"That’s true, that’s true,"

Wang Manni said, nodding and bowing, showing none of her usual decisiveness.

"The gift you and your Deputy Director sent me last time was decent; this is my return gift."

He took out two bottles of water from the takeout box and placed them on the table.

Wang Manni instinctively wanted to decline but was taken aback by the items he produced.

"Mr. Liu, what is this?"

She hesitantly asked.

"Water."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Of course, of course. I mean, is there anything special about these two bottles of water?"

Wang Manni inquired further.

"No, it’s just ordinary water, and it’s not very clean at that, so you’d better boil it before drinking,"

he said, shaking his head.

"Ah, all right,"

"Of course, there is something special about it,"

Liu Zheng piqued interest before revealing.

"What’s special about it?"

Wang Manni gazed at him with wide, curious eyes.

"This water, I brought it from abroad, and I didn’t even let the border management guys have any,"

he said earnestly.
