The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system
Chapter 367 - 367 Information is gold

367: Information is gold.

367: Information is gold.

Mayor Qui didn’t extend a hand to Alix and he remained passive, still staring at her with an unreadable look in his eyes.

Alix was not one to beg for anything anymore, so she retracted her hand.

He had chosen the sinking ship, it seemed.

“I guess we don’t have any further business Mr.

mayor.” She stared at the door and gestured dismissively, “You can see yourself out.”  “I didn’t say that i wouldn’t work with you.

I just don’t trust you enough to so much as shake your hand.

If you want me to trust you, you should prove yourself first.

When can my grandson get a heart transplant?”  Alix left the comfort of her chair and walked out to the front of her desk.

She perched half of her buttocks against it and crossed her legs.

Here, she was much closer to the mayor and could look into his eyes directly when she talked.

“If we keep this up, we are just going to go round and round without reaching a consensus.

The heart for your grandson, it can be delivered as soon as you prep him for the surgery.

I am assuming that you want to do it secretly because you don’t want Lai Yanfang finding out that her trump card is gone.

If she catches even a whiff of your plan, she will probably have that baby killed.”  Mayor Qui nodded, led along by Alix’s logic.

Indeed, Lai Yanfang would rather kill his grandson than allow the mayor slip through her hands.

He did raise his brows at Alix’s referencing of his grandson as baby.

He was already twelve years old, and not a baby anymore.

But, that was not what was important now anyway.

“Does that mean you have the heart on stand by?”  Alix nodded.

She had the heart from the game, the one she received from the loot after the death of the level three dark wizard.

The system had confirmed that it was a strong heart, purified and healthy.

It could function well in a human body and the one who owned it would have a healthy body too as a result.

“Like i said, on the day of the surgery, the heart can be delivered secretly so that nobody finds out.

I will not make the plan for you however, that is for you to sort out.

I don’t know what you need to believe me because all i can give you now is my word.”  “Tonight, i will prepare everything for tonight.” he said strongly.

Alix nodded easily.

Her nonchalance was a source of hope to the mayor that she did have what she claimed to have.

If he detected any panic in her eyes or body language, he would have been more uneasy about their arrangement.

He didn’t even care to ask where the heart was coming from.

He couldn’t bring himself to think about it.

Between his grandson and the person donating the heart or the original recipient, he was choosing his grandson.

“First things first, give me one usable piece of information on her that is not public.”  The mayor looked at his watch and then rubbed his gloved hands together slowly.

He lowered his head in thought while avoiding Alix’s eyes.

“It’s almost time for the school break.”  She was looking at the clock on the wall of her office as well.

The mayor looked up and said, “Red Eagles gang, she is the queen.” Alix moved her head in surprise, and she laughed softly.

Red Eagles gang, one of the most notorious gangs in the country, a criminal organization that was mostly active in Shanghai.

Their main business was stolen antiquities, forgery, grave robbing and the like.

They didn’t have a very strong presence in Beijing but they did have a reputation that was spread so far, even children knew about it.

This was because they never hesitated to kill anyone that got in their way.

Two years ago, they had been all over the news after killing some police officers that chased a group of them that were involved in a theft at a rich mans house.

She clearly recalled public outcry as everyone condemned the criminals.

The story had run for a month or more and it resurrected again after two members of the gang were arrested later on in the year and people had called for their execution.

Alix counted numbers off in her head while moving her fingers.

“What is it?” Mayor Qui asked.

“They have been active for six years.” She said.

“Eight.” The mayor amended.

Yanfang and Caishen were the same age so by Alix’s count, Lai Yanfang was somewhere in her late twenties when she formed or joined the gang.

But, why would a rich family’s daughter be involved in gang activity?

Was it connected to her family or was it a simple case of greed?

To her, this also meant that Lai Yanfang had more significant monetary resources than they all assumed.

“Blue smurf..” “I am on it.

I am compiling all the information on red eagles gang as we speak.

Those points you assigned to intelligence are really worth it because if you didn’t get this from the mayor, we would never have found it at all.

Nothing in her information online points to the gang.

Information is truly worth a lot on every world, like gold.” Alix was still in disbelief as she continued to digest this news.

She was willing to bet that even Caishen’s people did not know about this.

Maybe it was the reason why the government had a sealed file on Lai Yanfang.

But, didn’t this mean that she was not a player in the game?

The game had only started a few months ago, this was a fact she was sure of.

Unless, there was another game before Alix was pulled into this one and Yanfang had been a player in that game.

Or maybe, Lai Yanfang wasn’t the player but she knew who the player was.

Alix shook her head and scratched her neck lightly.

“Aah, this is so confusing.” she thought.

Was Lai Yanfang connected to the game or not?

The system sensed her troubles and asked, “Does it matter if she is a player or not?

Will you change your mind about her ending depending on this fact?” “No.”  Without hesitation, her answer was given quickly.

Even if she didn’t have a system, she was the leader of a dangerous gang that killed people.

That still made her a danger to Alix and everyone around her.

System or no, she had to go.

The mayor meanwhile stood up because he felt like he had shared enough information and Alix had been quiet for a while with a look of pondering on her face.

He could see that he had given her much to think about.

He was also getting the feeling that war between the Zhang family and the Lai family could be inevitable in the future.

Just as the wealthy families weighed politicians, he also had to weigh and make a decision.

Whose side would he stand on?

“I have just given you information worth something and there is so much more that i have to offer.

So, if you want it, you better bring that heart to Saint Catherine hospital tonight.” he told Alix.

“Who will receive it?”  “I will.”  She nodded.

“My bodyguard will bring it personally and he will stay until the surgery is over.

Make sure that nobody plays any tricks before hand like giving him medicine his body is allergic to.

I do not want anything ugly to happen and then have you put the blame on me so watch everyone like a hawk, double and triple check the doctors and medicine.

You cannot be too careful.”
