Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng looked at Nangong Tianshou, "You know about this too?"

"Qian Chuan isn't well-known outside, and people don't specifically seek him out for medical treatment. It was only after he mentioned you that Old Wu made the arrangements."

Nangong Tianshou took a sip of water. "I have to say, this old Wu is really a talent. As soon as he heard that you personally gave the order, he sent someone to find me. That's how Xiao Hao and I ended up going to Qianchuan to get the medicine."

"That's right, all the phoenixes that land on the parasol tree are phoenixes," Yu Meng said, praising herself with a smug look.

Zhou Jingyan's lips twitched. This old man and the young man were really something. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a word—the same kind.

Looking at the weapons on the table, Zhou Jingyan spoke for the first time, "Teacher Yu, what do you plan to do with these weapons?"

"Ah, you'll have to ask Uncle Wu, I don't know either."

Zhou Jingyan stroked the gun in his hand and finally voiced his thoughts, "Our Zhou family also has a weapons research institute, and I'd like to study these. What do you think?"

"That should work. Go find Uncle Wu and talk to him about any ideas you have."

Yu Meng didn't want to get involved too much; it was best to leave this to Secretary Wu.

Zhou Jingyan glanced at Nangong Tianshou, then stood up. "Then I'll go talk to Secretary Wu. Excuse me."

Yu Meng nodded, while Nangong Tianshou waved his hand.

After Zhou Jingyan left, Yu Meng looked at Nangong Tianshou and said, "Your nephew is very capable; he can seize every opportunity."

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity."

Look at this smart person, they have a broad vision and a grand perspective, it's just a pity they're a bit unlucky.

Nangong Tianshou refilled Yu Meng's teacup. "You left in a hurry this time. Did you sense something?"

Yu Meng nodded. "Niannian and the others were ambushed, and the purpose of the ambush was because they thought the woman in the group was me."

"Someone is watching your every move."

"That should be the case, but they seem to be holding back, not trying to kill me all at once. It feels like they're doing some kind of experiment on me."

"Wouldn't it be better to arrest you and use you for experiments?"

Yu Meng chuckled, "I guess that's what they're thinking too. The key is that if they don't threaten me with my family and friends, it will be very difficult to catch me."

"Yu Meng," Nangong Tianshou's tone turned serious, "Although this rule has been in place for over fifty years, if your value is great enough, breaking the rule is only a matter of time."

Yu Meng's smile faded. "I know, but there's nothing I can do right now since we can't find the person in charge."

"So you sent them out this time to lure the enemy?"

"No, it's about cutting off the branches and vines."

"Yu Meng, don't take this the wrong way. Your sect's disciples are individually very capable, but when it comes to teamwork, they are far inferior."

Yu Meng smiled bitterly, "My enemies are true bone painters, or perhaps even stronger. No matter how strong they are, they are useless. If I force them to go forward, they will only lose their lives."

Nangong Tianshou chuckled, "You always say I have bad luck, but what about you? You just went out for a short while, and looking at your luck, it doesn't seem so great either."

Yu Meng retorted, "We're completely different, okay? Even if you know, there's nothing you can do. As for me, I have absolutely no idea who I am!"

As she spoke, her voice lowered, "Sigh, I'm not even as good as you. Now I have to use myself as bait to lure those people to deal with me. How could someone as smart as me do something so stupid?"

Nangong Tianshou laughed out loud this time, "I didn't realize it until you said it, but now that you mention it, it is pretty silly."

Yu Meng glared at Nangong Tianshou, "You're being unfair. I didn't make fun of you like that."

"Hmph, you didn't do it to my face, but what about behind my back? Did you laugh at me or pity me behind my back?"

Yu Meng's eyes were sincere. "Really, no."

"I don't believe you for a second."

For some reason, the two of them schemed against each other and fought each other from the very first time they met, but they never hurt each other.

"Senior, could you give me some advice?"

"No. I'm not qualified to offer advice on this kind of matter." Nangong Tianshou didn't pretend to know everything.

"What should I do? I have so much energy but nowhere to use it!" Yu Meng stretched dramatically.

"Hmph, how stupid. Why don't you just ask the person who's already there?"

"Who? A cripple?" Yu Meng wasn't very interested.

"Besides him, who else could it be?" Nangong Tianshou was a little confused about Yu Meng.

"Sigh, you don't understand. People like them won't say a word unless they're completely willing."

"You asked?"

Yu Meng glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

"You can't even use your eyeball bracelet?" He paused for a moment. "Do you still have any of those? Get me one too."

Yu Meng rolled her eyes. "You, a pure warrior, can't use that thing. You'll reveal all your secrets."

Nangong Tianshou looked at her warily. "That powerful?"

Don't look at me like that, I have no interest in your affairs.

Nangong Tianshou calmed himself down and said, "I've discovered that your skills are far superior to those of ordinary bone painters."

Yu Meng leaned forward. "We're friends, and I've only shown you the tip of the iceberg. You have to keep it a secret!"

Nangong Tianshou closed his eyes. "Are you sure you're not trying to reprimand me?"

"How could you think that? I've entrusted the entire rear base to you."

"I don't believe you! I'm tired, you should go and rest too!" Nangong Tianshou started to shoo people away. He decided to stay away from Yu Meng from now on. He was a little afraid of her methods.

Yu Meng left with a smile.

She went straight back to her place; the past few days had been exhausting, and she just wanted to crawl into bed and get some sleep.

But there were some things she needed to give a definite answer about, and some people she needed to meet. Even as she slept, she felt like she was still swaying in the car! She stretched out her body, cleared her mind, and soon fell asleep.

When Yu Meng woke up the next day, it was already past eight o'clock. She smiled; she was truly exhausted this time.

When she arrived at the office, Secretary Wu was already waiting for her.

He handed Zhou Jingyan's contract to Yu Meng, saying, "This is the preliminary draft. Do you have any suggestions for changes?"

Yu Meng took it and placed it on the table. "Uncle Wu, I don't know much about these things either. As long as you think it's okay, I'll sign it."

Secretary Wu sat down opposite Yu Meng. "Originally, I wasn't planning to do this kind of thing. It's too dangerous, and we don't have any solid backing. But now I've changed my mind."

Yu Meng listened quietly as he spoke, "Our men were badly injured this time. Tranquilizer guns don't kill people. Once they recover, they'll be a fighting force again."

This weapon can kill instantly; I can't even imagine what would have happened to them if you hadn't arrived in time.

"Uncle Wu, it's all my fault. I dragged everyone into this life-or-death game." Yu Meng truly felt apologetic.

"How can we blame you? They're the ones who won't let you go. Don't worry, I'll always stand by your side," Secretary Wu said sincerely.
