Shen Wan chuckled.

Did she look like someone who could easily be taken advantage of?

While she had anticipated the extent of this woman’s materialism, LiXiaotan’s unappealing demeanor managed to get under Shen Wan’s skin.

“Five hundred thousand, not a penny less,” she insisted, her tone quite firm.

Shen Wan, however, didn’t play along with this stubborn streak. She shrugged and looked genuinely regretful. “It seems like this deal can’t continue.”

The woman remained unmoved.

If the earlier encounter had been a test, this was now a negotiation and a game of wits after getting a rough idea of each other’s background.

It all depended on who could hold their ground first, and who would give in. “You know the saying, when a deal doesn’t workout, it’s a matter of keeping one’s word and principles. So, let’s just pretend this meeting never happened today. You didn’t approach me, and Miss Ah Tan never laid eyes on me. I’m sorry for any inconvenience,” Shen Wan concluded, making a gesture to leave.

Li Xiaotan couldn’t help but quietly chuckle. She had witnessed plenty of attempts to act like they were caught and then let go, and she didn’t believe this young woman was any smarter than the others who had attempted the same before.

From the moment Shen Wan approached her, she had lost the upper hand.

At this moment, it was just an act.

Therefore, Li Xiaotan remained composed, but the next moment, her smile disappeared.

Shen Wan said, “Since Miss Ah Tan is unwilling to help with this favor, I’ll have to ask Miss Feiyan. I heard she used to be with Manager Gao as well. I wonder if this old flame can outshine the new one. We have to give it a try…”

The information in this statement was substantial, and it momentarily caught Li Xiaotan off guard.

“Used to be with Manager Gao” indicated that she knew she was currently with Manager Gao.

Choosing Feiyan over others suggested that she knew about the conflicts between herself and Feiyan.

“Who are you, really?” This time, Li Xiaotan wasn’t as casual as before. She pronounced each word with scrutiny, her gaze fixed on Shen Wan’s face as if trying to burn a hole through it.

“Let me ask one more time, is this deal happening or not?”

After a brief pause, the woman gritted her teeth. “…It’s happening!”

“I’m giving you three days, and whether it’s successful or not, I won’t take your word for it alone. I’ll seek confirmation through other channels. So,” Shen Wan said with a light laugh, her tone icy, “don’t even think about lying. The price will be too high.”

With that said, Shen Wan pulled out a stack of cash and handed it over. “Here’s twenty thousand, as a deposit.”

As she left, due to her brisk pace, she collided with a burly man who was bare-chested.

A strong smell of alcohol wafted over, and Shen Wan turned away in disgust.

The man, however, tried to play the fool, using alcohol as an excuse. “Hey? Where does this beautiful girl come from? A meeting like this must be fate. How about spending a night with me? Price is negotiable… *hic*…”

Shen Wan shoved him away with a firm hand. “Get lost!”

Then, she walked away, leaving the intoxicated man sitting on the ground, grumbling to himself.

With the deal now settled, Shen Wan had no intention of lingering. She walked straight out of the Night Paris gate. However, as she crossed the parking lot, three men armed with various weapons blocked her path.

Shen Wan took a cautious half-step back, scanning them warily.

One held a baseball bat, another had a pair of nunchaku, and the third had a bundle of hemp rope in his hand.

“Do you think you can just walk away after pushing? Young lady, you don’t seem to understand the rules.”

“Those who bully our brothers, either get beaten into submission or…” The man stroked his chin, grinning strangely, “get f*cked into submission.” “Which one do you prefer? Huh?”

Shen Wan understood; these were the accomplices of the drunkard from earlier.

“How about it, have you made your choice? Though it might not be satisfying to f*ck you because you’re a bit thin but with those slender arms and legs, you’re quite enticing, and you look pretty young.. How about letting us make the choice for you? What about the second option, letting us f*ck you?”
