Boarding Life-Chapter 609: The Gamble

But soon, he started to laugh, "Ha, Mu Ning, you don't need to use her to scare me. Her own matters are still unresolved; where would she find the time to manage these?"

"Moreover, according to the rules of the Dao Inference Department, her power cannot interfere with the affairs of the Shangwu District. I'm going to hold Qin Qi accountable, and she can't do anything about it."

Mu Ning's expression darkened considerably.

Clearly, this Zhang Sihai had done his homework upon arrival.

Nonetheless, she refused to yield, "Hm, if she can't interfere, there's still me, Mu Ning. If your Zhang family wants to act against Qin Qi, you always have to ask whether I agree!"

Zhang Sihai's face turned sullen, and seeing Mu Ning so unyielding, he stopped being polite.

He twisted his neck, and his expression also became darker, "Mu, you insist on protecting this boy named Qin, ultimately for the contest in two months. This boy has struggled among the provinces to get to this point, indeed showing some talent."

"However, if my information is correct, the Dao Inference Department has already set their sights on this boy. His talent may not be legal after all!"

"Ha ha, the people from the Dao Inference Department will come to your company for an inspection tomorrow. I'm really curious, if the inspection finds the boy's talent is not legal, what will you do then? After all, we both know that there's a high probability his talent isn't legal!"

Hearing these words, Mu Ning's expression instantly sank.

Zhang Sihai's words undoubtedly touched her sore spot.

Because no matter how you look at it, Qin Qi's talent seems incredibly extraordinary.

According to the rules of the Dao Inference Department, Qin Qi's talent really has a big chance of being illegal. When it comes to that, even if Mu Ning wants to protect him, she won't be able to.

The control of the Dao Inference Department in the Shangwu District is absolute! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Seeing Mu Ning hesitating, Zhang Sihai chuckled, "You see, you know yourself. The boy's talent essentially has issues. A kid without any resources, able to cultivate to such a degree in provinces where the air essence is scarce, how could there be no issues?"

"I advise you to just hand him over obediently; otherwise, you'll not only miss out on his talent but also make an enemy of our Zhang family. Mu Ning, there are some things you better think through carefully!"

At this moment, Ling Feixue and Yan Qingyu's expressions changed.

Speaking at this level, even they started to worry about whether Mu Ning would continue to shelter Qin Qi.

After all, this was a gamble!

If she lost the bet, Mu Ning would lose everything, and also become a complete enemy of the Zhang family.

Don't even mention Mu Ning.

Qin Qi himself also doubted if Mu Ning would continue to protect him!

After all, his talent really isn't legal!

Thinking about this, he once again tried contacting the mysterious woman.

Yet, as before, the mysterious woman didn't give any response, as if she had vanished into thin air!

This certainly made Qin Qi's mood sink to the bottom.

He could only focus on Mu Ning.

Honestly, even if Mu Ning really didn't shelter him, he couldn't hate her. This is just human nature, after all.

"General Manager Mu..." Ling Feixue, fearing that Mu Ning would change her mind, tried to say something.

But unexpectedly, Mu Ning chuckled.

Then, her attitude became even more resolute, "All right, Zhang Sihai. No matter how reasonable you sound, I'm sticking to what I said!"

"As long as Qin Qi is my employee, I won't let your Zhang family harm him. As you said, the odds of winning this gamble aren't high. If his talent is really illegal, I can't fight against the Dao Inference Department and I must accept it."

"But what if Qin Qi's talent is legal? I think your Zhang family is so eager to take Qin Qi away because you're also afraid that his talent might actually be legal, right!"

With these words, the room fell completely silent.

Even Zhang Sihai's expression became extremely unpleasant.

This statement indeed hit the part of his mind he least wanted to face!

Indeed.

His greatest fear was that Qin Qi's talent might be legal.

If Qin Qi's talent is legal, this news would undoubtedly be a bombshell in the Shangwu District.

Those forces that didn't try to recruit Qin Qi previously would without exception regret missing out on such a defiant super-genius!

And Qin Qi's talent would become the center of attention in the entire Shangwu District.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Zhang Sihai suddenly thought of something, twisted his neck, showing an insidious expression, "Mu Ning, you really are a madwoman. Do you really want to bet on that tiny chance of the boy's talent being legal?"

"Ha, do you think the people from the Dao Inference Department, who always act cautiously, would find Qin Qi without reason? Hahaha, you're simply insane. Tomorrow, I will be present in person, and I'm sure there will be many forces showing up!"

"I want to see how you will handle the situation then, and how you will become a clown in everyone's eyes!"

Mu Ning remained composed, though her face didn't look too good, "All right, you needn't worry about that!"

Zhang Sihai had no more words, shouting, "Fine, let's go!"

Finishing his words, he said no more and turned to leave.

After these few people left, Ling Feixue couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

And Qin Qi also looked at Mu Ning with gratitude.

Even he couldn't believe Mu Ning could go so far for him!

He took a deep breath, "General Manager Mu, thank you. I, Qin Qi, will remember this kindness forever. If you ever need anything in the future, I, Qin Qi, will surely serve you diligently!"

"You're too kind, isn't it expected for a boss to treat their employees well? Only tomorrow…"

Mu Ning gazed at Qin Qi, "Qin Qi, I don't know much about what's going on with you, nor do I want to ask too many questions. But I need to tell you, even if I genuinely hope your talent is legal!"

"But if tomorrow Dao Inference Department decides that your talent is illegal, even I can't save you! You need to be mentally prepared for this."

Qin Qi listened, naturally feeling a huge pressure.

The mysterious woman hasn't responded yet.

Tomorrow, he will have to face the Dao Inference Department's inspection with a brave face!

He considered running away, but he knows that the senior in the purple robe and Zuo Qingyue's abilities would leave no room to flee. Once any trace appears, it would only confirm the fact that there truly are issues.

He can only face this alone!

Whether he lives or dies…

Whether it is a turning point of fate, or a plunge into the abyss!

Everything hinges on tomorrow!
