Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Chapter 150 is broken.

"Ah—this—"

Upon hearing this, Su Su broke out in a cold sweat and was momentarily speechless.

You know, what people in her line of work fear most is encountering a ruthless person who not only doesn't get ripped off but also manages to escape unscathed.

After all, those who manage to get away with everything from such places are definitely not good people.

It's even less likely that she, a small-time hoodlum, could afford to offend her.

"Hey girl, you actually got a pretty good deal on these materials. I misjudged them earlier."

She swallowed hard, then immediately turned to the young girl and spoke quickly.

"You should go back now, I have some personal matters to attend to."

"Ah? Oh—okay, thank you, sister."

Although the girl felt somewhat confused, she also keenly sensed that something was amiss.

After timidly thanking him, he quickly left with the materials in his arms.

After the girl walked away, Jiang Zhe looked at Su Su with a half-smile, and tightened his grip on her hand.

"Let's go find a quiet place and have a proper talk about expressing our gratitude."

"Big brother! I was wrong!"

However, before Jiang Zhe could pull her into the alley, Su Su's knees suddenly buckled, and she expertly performed a half-slide kneel.

"I have elderly parents to care for, young children to raise, and a younger brother who needs to go to school."

"I'm just scraping by on the sidelines, please be magnanimous and ignore me!"

Her pleading gestures were so smooth and natural, it was clear she had practiced a lot.

"Alright, stop pretending."

Seeing this, Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes speechlessly and immediately let go.

He never intended to do anything to her, after all, he made a fortune inside, and he should thank her for leading the way.

More importantly, these local informants familiar with all walks of life were a small help to him, a newcomer to the area.

"Be more discerning in the future; not just anyone can be scammed."

Jiang Zhe was too lazy to waste any more words with her, and simply pointed to the roadside.

"Go, call me a car, a spacious one."

"Also, leave a mental imprint and keep an eye on the movements of some forces for me these next few days."

"Alright! Thank you for sparing my life, brother!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm an expert in this field, I'll definitely do a good job!"

Su Su was stunned at first, then her face lit up with joy.

Not only did he not get beaten up, but he also managed to get an order along the way?

Meanwhile, in a private room on the top floor of the Violet Restaurant.

The decor here is extremely luxurious, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the bustling nightscape of the entire capital city.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat strange.

Professor Lin and Messerley sat facing each other at opposite ends of the long dining table.

The table was laden with exquisite dishes, but neither of them touched a single bite.

And aside from Messerlie's habitual sarcastic remarks when she first sat down, in the next ten minutes or so...

She just kept holding her wine glass, staring at Professor Lin with a deep, unsettling gaze.

"Plop—"

Professor Lin felt uneasy under her gaze, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

"Cough cough————"

To ease the damn awkwardness, he cleared his throat, just about to say something, "You really do look the same as you did back then, you haven't changed at all."

Medusa suddenly put down her glass and interrupted him, her tone carrying a hint of something ambiguous.

"Still so fond of running away."

"I----"

Professor Lin was about to retort, but Messway didn't give him the chance.

Instead, he turned and softly called out to a small room inside the private room.

"Come in."

"Click—"

The door was pushed open, and a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a smart trench coat, walked in.

"Hmm? This is—"

Upon seeing this person, Professor Lin was stunned.

He scrutinized the other person carefully, and a strange look gradually appeared in his eyes.

The newcomer had delicate features but also a touch of heroic spirit.

But for some reason, he felt that there was something familiar about this person's eyes and brows.

Ignoring Professor Lin's surprise, Messway explained directly.

"Don't make wild guesses. She has no blood relation to me, and of course, she has even less of a connection to you."

"Her name is Lin Ye."

Messway paused, then added.

"He is an orphan I adopted twenty years ago, and I raised him to be my heir from a young age."

"He has exceptional talent and is already a mid-level Tier 3 card master."

"Also, correct your gaze, she's a girl."

"girl?"

Professor Lin was taken aback and looked at the other person more closely before realizing that the other person indeed did not have an Adam's apple.

However, her attire and demeanor were indeed too easy to misunderstand.

"So what exactly do you want from me calling me here today, and even bringing her along?"

As he pondered, Professor Lin's expression turned serious, and he finally voiced the question that had been nagging at him.

Medusa did not answer immediately upon hearing this, but instead picked up her glass and took another sip.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, her tone becoming somewhat solemn.

"The Chamber of Commerce has been rather restless lately."

"Although Xinghui Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in recent years, it has also offended many people."

99

"Now that I'm old, many people feel that I'm no longer able to hold my own."

"Especially because of this exchange meeting in the capital, various forces have gathered here."

"Some of the old guys within the chamber of commerce have even started colluding with outsiders, trying to take this opportunity to test my limits—"

As she said this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Messerway's eyes.

"I can't even fully trust the people around me right now, so—I want to entrust her to you for the time being."

"Entrust it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Lin's eyes widened immediately, as if he had heard some unbelievable joke.

"Then you've probably come to the wrong person."

"I'm just a lazy old man who does academic research; I'm not good at fighting."

"And you have so many people in your chamber of commerce who don't need her, why are you handing her over to me?"

"What can I use to protect her? To bury them alive with my report?"

"You're still so clueless."

Messway shook her head, her gaze towards Professor Lin becoming somewhat complicated.

"What I need is your identity as a clean third party."

She looked directly at Professor Lin, her tone carrying a hint of determination.

"You don't associate with our circle, and you have no conflicts of interest with them."

"More importantly—" Messerway lowered her voice and leaned forward, "Don't think I don't know."

"Even though you've been in Tianlan City for so long, you've never lost contact with your senior brother."

"As long as Lin Ye is by your side, those guys will have to think twice before they make a move."

As she spoke, Medusa took a deep breath, and her tone softened for once.

"And you are currently the only person I can trust."
