Chapter 60: Chapter 59: The First Time Asking for a Female’s Number_1 Chapter 60: Chapter 59: The First Time Asking for a Female’s Number_1 She had never considered becoming an accompanying doctor — the type who gets ordered around.
Although mercenaries aren’t exactly an army, they operate similarly in many ways. One is just the official counterpart, and the other is private.
These factors affected Mu Lin’s “normal” performance.
A soft chuckle echoed in her ear, “I don’t remember any talk of persuasion between us, just cooperation. And of course, I will unconditionally cooperate with you. Maybe I could even agree to some outrageous terms.”
“How outrageous?”
“How about… offering yourself to me?” All that remained in his sharp eyes was laughter.
Mu Lin: “…” Not funny at all. How long did he plan to keep this joke going?
Jing Chen: Lifetime.
Mu Lin: “Stop kidding.”
“I’m not kidding.” Jing Chen’s faint smile deepened. “Though, I don’t know what you’ve done to these two men.” Or maybe she had given them a poison he didn’t know about. “But I think that if we cooperate in your investigation, we might hit our target more easily. Don’t you want to consider it?” Jing Chen continued his persuasion.
Indeed, together, they could achieve more.
Based on Mu Lin’s requirements, her move seemed to be baiting. His objective was simply to kill the two nuisances in B city and investigate, but if these two men can lead him behind the scenes, he would be even happier.
After all, he was also fed up with being annoyed by issues like these every now and then.
Mu Lin didn’t respond. After a pause, Jing Chen made another attempt. “Compared to sitting in the office every day, I think you must prefer the freedom of the forest. We are regulars there.”
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to avoid the dangerous areas or beasts in the Black Forest back then.
The reason they had found Mu Lin that time wasn’t purely luck, although luck was certainly a part of their prowess.
After what seemed like an eternity, Mu Lin finally spoke. “I’ll need to consider.”
Jing Chen’s words had indeed caught her interest. Even though she could find her enemies by herself, knowing more deep-seated information would require insight from this guy’s background and abilities.
One thing she had to admit was that he nailed her preferences. She liked the jungle’s natural aura compared to the urban life in Metropolis. Maybe she could bring Qiaozi along next time.
If she wanted to unearth everything she wished to know this time, a few months’ time surely wouldn’t be enough.
Conveniently, she could get Jing Chen to issue an ID card for Qiaozi to ease their journey in the future.
Although Mu Lin had mostly decided, she still didn’t give Jing Chen the answer he wanted. Perhaps it was because he always liked to ridicule her with her own words. Why should she agree so easily?
How would Jing Chen react if he knew what Mu Lin was thinking?
Upon hearing Mu Lin’s response, Jing Chen nodded, “Sure.” There was no problem. Her current non-rejection meant she was considering it. This was good news for him.
Pausing, Jing Chen spoke again: “I’ll call you again in a week, or you can call me. By the way, share your phone number with me so I don’t lose you.” This was obviously a lie. Mu Lin was in the Military Hospital every day. How could he possibly lose her?
Sigh… if he wanted a girl’s phone number, he should have just been straightforward.
The men surrounding Jing Chen mentally complained. Of course, they didn’t have the guts to voice it out. However, they wholly supported their boss’ first attempt at asking for a girl’s phone number with both hands and feet, metaphorically.
Even though they couldn’t hear the voice on the other side of the phone (military-grade quality products), from Jing Chen’s words and reaction, they could guess that it was Mu Lin on the other end of the line.
From the past until now, the only person who could evoke uncommon expressions from their boss was indeed Mu Lin.
“188**998.” Mu Lin straightforwardly recited her phone number. The young masters sitting nearby took this chance to note down the number on their phones.
Since Mu Lin mentioned this in front of them, she surely didn’t intend to hide it. Her cleverness struck the young masters at this moment.
After hanging up, Mu Lin returned the phone to Jing Youlan. Their cars had already arrived and were waiting for them. Since there was nothing left to do, it was time to head home.
This was the first time the young masters finished playing so early here.
