Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Fanning the Flames Combo

Jiang Li choked up even more.

"Eight hundred thousand?"

Didn’t that mean she would need to fork out at least one and a half million to have a chance of attracting He Pingzhang?

It seemed she had to push herself a little harder.

Zhao Lang caught the slight nod from Jiang Li and immediately beamed with joy.

It looked like his decision to quote a higher salary was the right move, she really was satisfied with her own capabilities!

With that thought, Zhao Lang continued pensively, "However, eight hundred thousand is just the base salary. Assistant He gets a bonus every quarter, and he has dividends from the family company, so his yearly earnings won’t be any less than a corporate executive."

Jiang Li: "......"

Sure enough, she was still too poor.

The idea of buying He Pingzhang off with money would have to be abandoned!

[What? Eight hundred thousand is just the base salary?!]

[Enough, I’ve had enough, Crown Prince, you don’t have to rub it in our faces anymore.]

[Just a reminder, we don’t even measure up to servants; their household staff probably make tens of thousands a month.] ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

[This is too much, would the world end if there was one more rich person like me?!]

[Young Master Gu, would you really not consider me? I have neither dignity nor backbone, perfect for you to take your frustrations out on~]

Instantly, the live audience began to promote their own limitless abilities.

[Give me fifty thousand a month, and you can slap me ten times a day.]

[What? Just ten? I can take twenty!]

[Crown Prince, I could lick your floors clean!]

[Crown Prince, I could lick your toil—[Warning, this user has been banned for 24 hours due to inappropriate comments!]]

But Zhao Lang’s pride was short-lived when he realized something was off.

Because nearly all the topics Jiang Li brought up next were about He Pingzhang!

"Is Assistant He’s regular work very tough?"

"What’s Assistant He’s hometown, and how did you manage to hire him?"

"Does Assistant He have any hobbies?"

"Assistant He—"

Combining his previous observations, Zhao Lang narrowed his eyes, "Jiang Li, why are you so interested in He Pingzhang?"

Jiang Li’s expression turned stern, and seeing Zhao Lang’s suddenly serious face, she realized she might have been too obvious, so she quickly said emotionlessly, "Nothing much, just asking."

Zhao Lang didn’t pursue it, but his guard remained up.

Had He Pingzhang not been old enough to be both their father, he might have even considered him a love rival!

No, that’s not right.

What if Jiang Li liked older men?!

No, no, he would have to minimize He Pingzhang’s appearances around her in the future, lest she continue to develop any inappropriate ideas!

With this thought in mind, Zhao Lang squinted at the drone overhead.

He happened to make eye contact through the screen with He Pingzhang: "....."

Had he done something wrong again?

...

The two walked on for another hour or so, venturing deeper into the forest.

The path became increasingly difficult to navigate, and at times they even needed external help to continue climbing.

Fortunately, Zhao Lang was very supportive, always clearing obstacles ahead for Jiang Li, which made her journey much less taxing.

Until they arrived at a spot surrounded by bushes on all sides and covered with rocks below, Jiang Li stopped.

"We should be about there."

Zhao Lang surveyed the hazardous terrain around them, somewhat incredulously, "Ji Yanbai is hiding here?"

Jiang Li nodded his head.

The barrage also found it incredible.

"How can someone hide here???"

"My goodness, how can they search for him? If they don’t eliminate Ji Yanbai, it would be hard to take first place, wouldn’t it?"

"Stop watching, in the end it’s definitely Captain Ji who’ll win, after all, he’s the born king of the jungle."

"But my divination method can only predict that he’s probably hiding somewhere around here; it’s very difficult to pinpoint his exact location."

Zhao Lang climbed atop a rock, surveyed the surroundings for a while, then jumped down and shook his head.

"It’s a bit difficult."

Here, low shrubs and towering birches crisscrossed, and the ground was littered with rocks and marshes, too confusing for anyone.

No wonder Ji Yanbai, the professional he is, chose such a place to hide.

Without a thorough search, it would be impossible to find anyone.

But if they were to carry out a carpet search, they would hardly find anything within a day or two.

Their time was running out.

Jiang Li was silent for a while, then raised his head.

"I have a way to find him, but it’s quite risky. Are you in?"

...

Ji Yanbai had heard the voices of Jiang Li and Zhao Lang early on.

He had thought this place was impossible for anyone to discover, and hiding here was his temporary measure, waiting for nightfall to sneak to the lakeside and figure out a way to eliminate Team Q.

But to his surprise, they actually found this place just after morning passed!

However, from the sounds of it, the other party might not know where exactly he was hiding.

All he needed to do was to stay put, unflinchingly.

He had similar real-life experience in the past and had eaten compressed biscuits and drunk water in advance. He could stay here for three days without moving, without any danger to his life.

What he excelled at was not charging into battle, but slowly, slowly wearing down the enemy.

After a while, there were no voices from the two people nearby.

Ji Yanbai still did not move, continuing to wait.

After another while, a crackling sound burst around him. At first, he did not know what the noise was, but as soon as his nose caught a burnt scent, Ji Yanbai’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Were these two actually setting a fire here?!

The drone hovered in mid-air, transmitting the scene below to the internet in real-time.

Everyone watching felt terrified.

They saw Jiang Li standing on a huge rock, holding a torch, pointing here and there at the bushes and open ground.

The areas she pointed at were all drenched with gasoline by Zhao Lang.

The fire, fanned by the wind, became so fierce in moments that it almost swallowed the entire area.

The viewers in the live broadcast were dumbfounded.

"????? Have I gone mad, or have they??!"

"Holy moly, is all this really necessary???"

"Hahaha these two are like a ’fan the flames’ duo, truly awesome."

"No seriously, Sister Li, you really dare to say it, Gu Yu, you really dare to do it!"

In the director’s room, the assistant director watched the roaring flames on the screen, his heart in his throat; despite the fire being far from him, he felt as if he was in it, sweating profusely.

"No, Director..." he wiped his sweat and looked towards He Pingzhang, "Are we really not going to do anything about this?"

He Pingzhang sipped his coffee very calmly, "Intervene? Why should we? The entire island belongs to him; even if it burns down, the loss is not ours."

The assistant director: "....."

He really couldn’t understand the thought processes of rich people.

Such a big island, to just say ’burn’ and burn it!
