Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 1698 Making a Deal
Zhu Jing was noncommittal, "Just now you said that I hide deeply? You said you can't see through me? Turn around and say that I have good intentions, Sophie, don't you think it's too ironic?"

Sophie's eyes pierced, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't have good intentions, with the background and energy of the Zhu family, there must be other ways to deal with this matter!"

"But now you come to Tianzhou in person, you are far away, you have gone through all kinds of troubles, and even used that Li Lang as a middleman, and even introduced a Boss Li to trade with the Zhao family!"

"The reason why you did this is to get Zhao Dong out, and you don't want to hurt Zhao Dong because of this, don't you?"

Zhu Jing asked, "The reason, why did I do this? You want to say that I like Zhao Dong?"

Sophie shook her head, "I don't know if you like Zhao Dong or not. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if you really like him. Although I didn't experience what happened in the mine last time, I can imagine it if I think about it. It's dangerous!"

"Under that environment, being led out of danger by a man, I am also a woman, and I can understand that feeling."

"However, based on what I've known about you these days, I don't think you're such a superficial woman, Sister Jing. If I'm not wrong, you want to repay Zhao Dong for saving your life last time, right?"

"Including you intentionally getting close to me, you also want to return Zhao Dong's favor through me, through the Su family, am I right?"

Zhu Jing made a mistake and laughed at herself: "Do you know that your Zhao Dong has already put everything on my head, and he told me to get out of Tianzhou within three days! Now there is nothing to say about this." What's the point?"

Sophie said seriously, "It makes sense, Sister Jing, as long as the bottom line is not crossed, then everything can be discussed!"

Zhu Jing took a deep breath, and for the first time treated Sophie as an equal opponent, "What do you want to talk about?"

Sophie stared at Zhu Jing and said, "I'll go talk to Zhao Dong, try my best to facilitate this deal, and transfer the ownership of the mine to that Boss Li!"

Zhu Jing asked back, "Why did you do this?"

Sophie said frankly: "As I said, I want to protect my family. I intuitively feel that this matter is not easy. I don't want my husband to be involved. I hope Zhao Dong is safe and sound!"

Zhu Jing continued to ask, "Is it that simple? There are no other conditions? If it's really just like this, you don't have to make such a big circle with me. You can have a showdown with me as early as the first day I came to Tianzhou gone."

Sophie didn't shy away from it, "That's right, at first I wanted to find out what happened, and I wanted to know what was hidden behind Guashan Town, which would put you, the eldest lady of the Zhu family, in danger again and again." territory!"

"And you're right. We could indeed talk about it at the beginning, but I can't trust you, Zhu Jing. If I don't investigate the matter clearly, I'm afraid I'll be betrayed by you!"

Zhu Jing asked with a smile, "Then why did you change your mind now?"

Sophie shrugged, "Because I have already noticed that this matter is not simple, and if I continue to investigate, I am worried that I will touch the taboo."

"The most important thing is that after these few days of contact, I know that you are a person who keeps your word, I want you to guarantee that I am willing to bet this time!"

"As for the conditions? Of course!"

Zhu Jing frowned slightly, "Let me guess, you want Su's permission to enter the pharmaceutical industry, am I right? This is also the purpose of your friendship with me, am I right? Su total!"

Sophie didn't mind Zhu Jing's sarcasm at all, "That's right, I did have this consideration at the beginning. I am a woman from the Su family, and I was born and raised by the Su family. Even if I don't take this identity to heart, sometimes I also have to make considerations for my family!"

"But when my husband is on the opposite side of the Su family's interests, and for the sake of the family's interests, I want to push my husband into danger, what do you think I will do?"

Zhu Jing narrowed her eyes, "I'm curious too!"

Without hesitation, Sophie said frankly: "I only have one condition. I don't want to involve the Zhao family in the struggle between your Zhu family and Tian family! As long as you, Miss Zhu, give me a promise, as long as you promise to do it!" , I will do the work on Zhao Dong's side!"

Zhu Jing seemed to see through Sophie, "After planning so hard for so long, even I was deceived by you, now you are only half a step away from success, but now you have to give up everything for Zhao Dong, don't you think it's a pity? How do you explain when you go back to Su's house?"

Sophie asked back, "How can I explain that it's my business, so you agreed?"

Zhu Jing agreed, "Sophie, you really impress me!"

"Can I ask you one last question? This afternoon, why did you push me away? Their goal is me, and you can completely ignore it."

Sophie said sincerely: "Because I really regard you as a sister, I don't want you to fall into danger, and I don't want to become an opponent with you."

"The most important thing is that I'm not the kind of woman who can do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. Zhao Dong doesn't like that kind of woman, and I don't want myself to become that kind of woman either!"

Zhu Jing was silent for a long time, staring at Sophie and said seriously: "Sophie, you are qualified to stand by Zhao Dong's side, and you are also qualified to be my opponent."

"I promise you what happened just now. As long as you can facilitate this transaction, I can guarantee that Zhao Dong will never be involved in the matter between the Zhu family and the Tian family. This is my promise to you!"

"Also, I want to make another deal with you."

Sophie frowned slightly, "What deal?"

Zhu Jing cut to the chase and said, "I came to Tianzhou this time to find a ledger, which is related to Kaoshan Town. As far as I know, the last person who saw this ledger was Huang Zhiqiang!"

Sophie is a very smart woman. When she heard this, she immediately understood Zhu Jing's meaning, "You mean, this ledger is currently in Zhang Ting's hands?"

Zhu Jing shook her head, "I don't know, and I don't know, but I have a hunch that Zhang Ting must know the whereabouts of this account book! To tell you the truth, I found someone to search Zhang Ting's home, but found nothing. And staring at Zhang Ting's I'm not the only one, so I can't make it too obvious!"

Sophie's eyes sharpened instantly, "Is this ledger related to the Zhao family?"

Zhu Jing assured: "You can rest assured that this account book has nothing to do with the Zhao family, and it will not harm the interests of the Zhao family at all. I can even tell you that this account book is only related to our Zhu family, and it is related to our Zhu family. The secret of the house!"

"You're smart, you should know what I'm talking about!"

"Zhang Ting has a lot of contact with the Zhao family. It is more convenient for you to come forward than me. This is also the purpose of my approach to the Zhao family. Unfortunately, my plan has been destroyed, and Zhao Dong will not let me continue to stay by your side. .”

"So this matter, I can only ask you, as long as you can help me find the whereabouts of the ledger, I can help with the Su family's affairs."

Following Zhu Jing's words, the ward fell into silence again.
