He had bright eyes and looked very easy to get along with, but there was a distant look between his eyebrows.

That day, she saw an invitation from the Netherworld Pavilion Master at the bottom of the black box sent by the Netherworld Pavilion, inviting her to meet in the restaurant opposite the Black Market’s Netherworld Pavilion.

Shi Man was willing to be come because she wanted to see what the other party’s goal was.

“Since Pavilion Master wants to make friends, you should show some sincerity. You’ve already understood me quite well. Shouldn’t you take the initiative to tell me your name?” Shi Man didn’t continue to beat around the bush and asked directly.

The man was indeed in a good mood when he heard this. He opened the fan with a whoosh and shook it gently. He lifted the bangs on his forehead, revealing a pair of bright eyes. “Miss Shi is indeed straightforward. My name is Ji Yan. You’re one of the few people who knows my real name now.”

Shi Man did not express much joy about this. She still said expressionlessly, “Mr. Ji, why are you looking for me?”

“Miss Shi, you don’t have to be so vigilant. I just admire your methods. First, you pretended to leave your items in our pavilion, but in fact, you took this opportunity to install your interference system equipment and then create chaos in the system to relax our defenses. Then, you took the opportunity to steal the treasure in my pavilion. Of course I want to befriend someone with such superb skills.”

When the man said this, he was still as calm as ever, as if it was someone else’s business and the theft had nothing to do with him.

Shi Man narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to determine his true motive from his expression. “You didn’t look for me to denounce me, right?”

“Of course not.” Ji Yan smiled and said, “You and I both know that it’s impossible for the group of people who deposited that good in the Netherworld Pavilion to come and collect the goods. I really don’t know how to deal with a living person in the room. I have to thank Miss Shi for helping me clean up the aftermath.”

This was a compliment.

Shi Man didn’t believe that he really couldn’t deal with it. She sneered and said, “Mr. Ji, since you like people who speak frankly, don’t beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, just say it. I’m in a hurry.”

Ji Yan pouted regretfully. “What a pity. I still want to treat Miss Shi to a good meal. Actually, I really just want to be friends with you. I admire your skills. If my Netherworld Pavilion doesn’t make friends with such a talent as soon as possible, wouldn’t I be neglecting my duty as the Pavilion Master?”

Shi Man raised her hand and turned the teacup slightly. As her fingers brushed against the hot cup, there was a sharp pain on her fingertips, but her expression did not change. “Mr. Ji, I don’t have the hobby of making friends casually.”

Instead of being angry, Ji Yan smiled and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Of course, I’ve prepared a greeting gift for Miss Shi.”

As he spoke, he suddenly put away his fan and knocked on the table with the fan.

On the other side, a few men in black masks immediately walked out of the warehouse. They surrounded two hunched and trembling men.

Shi Man felt that their figures were familiar, but because they were both wearing sacks on their heads, she couldn’t remember their faces.

As if sensing Shi Man’s confusion, he raised his fan slightly.

The burly men immediately understood. They raised their hands and tore off the sacks on their heads, revealing two pale faces.

The two of them seemed to have been in the dark for a long time. When they suddenly saw the light, they subconsciously raised their hands to block their eyes. When they adapted to the light in front of them, they slowly lowered their arms. However, when they saw Shi Man, their legs went weak and they knelt down.

“Missy, we listened to you and did that to Instructor Zhang, but when we went back, our boss was afraid of being implicated, so he wanted to kill the two of us. You have to save us!”

Shi Man frowned slightly. Only then did she remember that these two were the men who had been asked by Zhang Rui to drug her that night. Her eyes darkened. “Who’s your boss?”

The man had long lost his arrogance from that night. He kowtowed to Shi Man three times and was extremely humble.

When he heard Shi Man’s question, he didn’t dare not to say it. He swallowed in panic and said, “Yes, it’s Jiang Han! Zhang Rui contacted Jiang Han and asked him to help her. I was instructed to complete the task. You have to save me!” “Jiang Han?” Shi Man slowly chewed on the name.

Ji Yan answered her with a smile, “The second young master of the Jiang family has been wandering in the gray area all year round. The police haven’t been able to find evidence, so he’s been getting away with his deeds. In fact, he’s committed a lot of crimes.”

“Zhang Rui must have given Jiang Han some benefits for colluding.” Shi Man lowered her eyes confidently and fixed her gaze on the bruises on the two men. “Mr. Ji, you really know a lot.”

“Otherwise, how can 1 be the Pavilion Master of the Netherworld Pavilion?” Ji Yan smiled and casually poured the cold tea to the side. He personally poured a cup of hot tea for her.. “How is it? Can this greeting gift make me ATiss Shi’s good friend?”
