In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

But the same thing.

These two factions mean nothing to Gu Hanyuan.

Therefore, Jiao Wan'er said with a happy expression:

"I beg Young Master Gu to lend my father a hand."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled lightly, amusement in his eyes:

“I can certainly help, but Miss Jiao can’t expect me to do this for nothing, can she? After all, it would offend the Xiandu Sect and the Huashan Sword Sect… While I’m not afraid of them, I have no reason to make enemies without cause.”

Jiao Wan'er was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

She naturally knew that Gu Hanyuan's words made sense.

Besides, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

If Gu Hanyuan really disregards personal gain and loss to help.

Jiao Wan'er, on the contrary, began to doubt Gu Hanyuan's intentions.

However, this matter concerns the future of the Golden Dragon Gang and Jiao Gongli's life.

Finding commensurate compensation is not easy.

Jiao Wan'er hesitated and said:

"If Young Master Gu is willing to lend a helping hand, the entire Golden Dragon Gang will obey your every command from now on."

This was the only reward Jiao Wan'er could think of.

This was to persuade the Golden Dragon Gang to submit to Gu Hanyuan.

However, Gu Hanyuan said with a strange expression:

"Miss Jiao, don't you know that the Golden Dragon Gang has already sided with the Ming Dynasty? A subject cannot serve two masters. Aren't you afraid that the Ming Dynasty will hold you accountable later?"

These words were actually just a scare tactic.

The Ming Dynasty court was not indifferent to the plight of the Golden Dragon Gang and Jiao Gongli.

He simply entrusted the entire matter to Zhu Meichu.

Zhu Meichu then approached Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan had the advantage of an information asymmetry.

He was deliberately deceiving Jiao Wan'er.

Jiao Wan'er was startled upon hearing this.

She was completely unaware that the Golden Dragon Gang had already pledged allegiance to the Ming Dynasty.

Jiao Gongli did not explain this to her.

Since Gu Hanyuan is so confident...

It's probably true.

Jiao Wan'er inwardly resented the Ming court for turning a blind eye to their plight.

However, she lacked the confidence to betray the Ming Dynasty.

Faced with a behemoth like the Ming Dynasty.

Even Gu Hanyuan wouldn't be willing to face him so easily.

Jiao Wan'er said dejectedly:

"I don't know what else could possibly move Young Master Gu."

Gu Hanyuan said in a strange tone:

"The Golden Dragon Gang has a treasure."

Jiao Wan'er was stunned upon hearing this.

She had never heard of the Golden Dragon Gang possessing any treasures.

He looked at Gu Hanyuan, puzzled.

She was shocked to see Gu Hanyuan's hand touch her cheek.

Gu Hanyuan said with amusement:

"This treasure is priceless, and I have long coveted it. I wonder if Miss Jiao would be willing to part with it?"

That's all we've said.

Jiao Wan'er knew exactly what Gu Hanyuan meant.

His eyes held hesitation, shame, and sorrow.

But more often than not, there is nothing that can be done.

Gu Hanyuan's next sentence completely shattered her defenses.

"Miss Jiao, you don't want the Golden Dragon Gang to decline and Jiao Gongli to die, do you?"

Chapter 505: Wen Qingqing, who is competitive and eager to win

Jiao Wan'er was not a particularly capable or intelligent woman.

But it's not just a stupid pretty face either.

Both their abilities and intelligence are above average.

Normally.

Jiao Wan'er will not give in so easily.

If Gu Hanyuan had stated his purpose directly from the beginning...

I'm afraid I'll only get a firm rejection.

Now we can present the facts and reason with people.

While making Jiao Wan'er realize reality, it also deprived her of any reason to refuse.

Unless she can justifiably say that she no longer cares about the Golden Dragon Gang and Jiao Gongli.

Otherwise, the only option is to submit.

Therefore, Jiao Wan'er's resistance lasted only a short while before she resigned herself to her fate.

Her cheeks, which were being caressed by Gu Hanyuan, quickly became hot.

He nervously gripped the hem of his clothes.

Hesitantly, he tentatively asked:

"Young Master Gu, could you please wait until my father's affairs are finished tomorrow before giving them to me?"

Jiao Wan'er's concerns are easy to understand.

She was worried that Gu Hanyuan would take advantage of her and then deny everything.

If it were before tonight...

She believed in Gu Hanyuan's character.

But then this happened.

Jiao Wan'er couldn't help but have doubts.

Moreover, due to the inequality in status and military strength.

Even if Gu Hanyuan takes advantage of you and then denies it.

She was helpless.

Are you suggesting she go around spreading rumors that Gu Hanyuan broke his promise?

Not to mention that...

31 The most shameful thing is that she is the woman who has to give up her body.

more importantly.

Will people believe what she says?

Reputation is the best shield.

Given Gu Hanyuan's current reputation.

Most people wouldn't believe her.

Some dark-hearted people may even have malicious thoughts.

They believed she was seducing Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered for a moment.

The playful smile on his lips grew even wider.

"Of course, if the Golden Dragon Gang's treasure has any flaws, it will inevitably be less than perfect. Miss Wan'er, you only need to pay a deposit first."
