I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 373 As long as you cooperate with me...

While Zhang Jiahao was planning to rob the silver shop.

Shen Lang stood in the spacious and luxurious room of the Li family, pointing the gun he carried with him at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li knelt opposite him, facing the muzzle of his gun with a calm look.

She was thinking about the mysterious man's instructions in her heart, and even at this moment, she still did not forget her mission.

"Shen Lang, shoot." Li Tai's voice was calm, without any fear.

The corners of Shen Lang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Mrs. Li, you don't seem afraid at all."

"What's the point of being afraid?" Li Tai sighed softly, "But after you shoot, I want to ask you something."

After Shen Lang fired all the bullets in his gun, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest. "Oh? What do you want to ask?"

Mrs. Li paused, trying to make her tone sound more natural. "How much do you know about Li Ju's whereabouts? And do you know about those who kidnapped him?"

Shen Lang chuckled, "Mrs. Li, that's a really interesting question. Do you think I would tell you this so easily?"

Mrs. Li's heart tightened, but she tried to remain calm and said, "Shen Lang, I know you are capable. As long as you can help me find Li Ju, my Li family will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Shen Lang laughed heartily as if he had heard something funny. "Mrs. Li, do you think money can impress me? You are too naive. But since you are so eager to learn, I will tell you something."

He spoke vaguely on purpose, and his words sounded like they had deep meaning, but when you thought about it carefully, there was nothing at all.

Then, with a look of surprise on his face, he asked doubtfully, "Why are you suddenly so interested in these things? Shouldn't you be focusing more on Mr. Li's safety at this moment?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li's heart sank suddenly, like a huge rock falling into a bottomless abyss, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and tried to maintain superficial calm.

He nodded slightly and said softly, "To be honest, since those people are able to ask a master like Mr. Shen to come forward, I naturally want to persuade my father-in-law to ask you to help find Li Ju."

Shen Lang sighed softly and said slowly, "With our current relationship, even without anyone else's help, I would definitely find a way to find Li Ju's whereabouts. But you also know that those kidnappers act in a secretive way, coming and going without a trace, making it impossible to investigate."

Mrs. Li stared at him with wide eyes, her face filled with surprise. She asked in disbelief, "Just now you vowed that you would do everything in your power to track down Li Ju's whereabouts. How come you suddenly say you have no clue and no way to investigate? This is a huge change!"

Shen Lang stared at her with a half-smile on his face, an unfathomable smile on his lips. "Don't you know that men are sometimes willing to say anything sweet to achieve their goals? And from the very beginning, you were the one who displayed a level of hospitality I've never seen before. I was just following the host's wishes."

Mrs. Li blushed at his words and was speechless for a moment.

She was angry and annoyed, but she could do nothing about the man in front of her.

Shen Lang then added, "You don't know, those celebrities and gentlemen all begged me to protect them at great expense, but I refused them all. Do you think that just because of such a small relationship, I, Shen Lang, have to rush out and fight for you without hesitation?"

He raised his head slightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, "If I do that, then my martial arts skills are really worthless."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but frown slightly, and responded with a worried look on her face: "I am very worried about Li Ju's personal safety. As long as we can rescue him, you can do whatever you say."

She was already feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Lang's perfunctory and evasive attitude.

I had just been trying to please him in many ways, but who would have thought that this guy would change his attitude in the blink of an eye and completely disregard our previous friendship.

It's really infuriating!
Shen Lang continued his analysis with a serious face, "The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. Think about it, those kidnappers were so skilled, and they were able to successfully kidnap so many people in just one night. This couldn't be something that only one or two people could do."

Having said that, he paused and emphasized, "No matter how capable I, Shen Lang, am, I don't have three heads and six arms. Facing so many cunning enemies, how can I possibly fight against them alone?" After hearing this, Li Tai's already heavy mood became even worse, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making her feel a little breathless.

But after a moment, Shen Lang changed the subject, "However, Mrs. Li, don't be too discouraged. Although I, Shen Lang, am not a kind person, I am not a heartless and ungrateful person. As long as you can..."

He paused deliberately and didn't continue.

Mrs. Li was startled and looked at him warily, "What can I do?"

Shen Lang moved closer and said in a low voice, "As long as you can cooperate with me... I will naturally do my best to save Li Ju. After all, one more person to help means more strength."

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment. She knew in her heart that Shen Lang was negotiating terms with her.

But for Li Ju, she had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I'll give you whatever you want."

After seventy or eighty minutes, Shen Lang seemed to have obtained the information he wanted.

Li Taiqiang cheered up and said, "When will you fulfill your promise?"

"Promise?" Shen Lang pretended to be surprised and asked, "What promise?"

Mrs. Li lost her voice and said, "Didn't you just promise to go and save people?"

"I didn't say that." Shen Lang denied it flatly. "What I've always said is that as long as you cooperate with me and provide clues, I will do my best to investigate. But I didn't say to rescue people right now. We're just getting started. You're so anxious for me to take risks? I still need to make some preparations."

“You…” Mrs. Li frowned and said unhappily, “How can you go back on your word and gain weight?”

Shen Lang's face was full of confusion: "Why did I break my promise? I said I would try my best, not immediately. This kind of thing can't be rushed. You have to give me time."

Mrs. Li was speechless and could only suppress her unhappiness. She said, "When do you plan to rescue people? I hope you can give me a definite answer. If you don't, I will fight you to the death even if it means death."

Shen Lang saw that she was very emotional and knew that if he didn't give in, this woman might really fight to the death.

He sighed slightly, "I'll go investigate first. How can I promise you anything right now? But don't worry, I will definitely go and save him. I, Shen Lang, keep my word. But this matter needs to be done step by step."

"I'll remember what you said," Mrs. Li said. "Let's go downstairs first, so that the security downstairs won't come up to check."

A few minutes later, the two came down from upstairs.

Then he saw Li Ren's car coming back.
After getting out of the car, without taking a rest, he immediately asked Shen Lang: "I wonder how the investigation is going, Mr. Shen? Did you find anything?"

"I have some clues for now," Shen Lang said, "but we still need to conduct detailed investigations. By the way, Mr. Li, did the kidnappers give you any information?"

Li Ren shook his head and said, "Not yet. Since Mr. Shen has an idea, I'll leave it to Mr. Shen."

After a pause, he continued, "I wasn't here just now, so I'm afraid I couldn't greet you well enough. Why don't we go to Fulinmen for dinner?"

"I'm very satisfied. No need to eat." Shen Lang said, "Besides, I still have to investigate the case for the time being, so I won't bother Mr. Li. If there is any progress, I will definitely inform you."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Li Ren said with gratitude.
