Chapter 120 - 120 His Choice
120 His Choice
“Firstly, you may not use that mental manipulation technique on me, my family, or the people I care about.”
“Secondly, you can choose to stop at any time, but from then on, you’re not allowed to get close to me. You have to maintain a distance of at least ten kilometers.”
“Thirdly, even if I don’t need your help, you can’t go against our members or do anything that will affect our interests.”
“Fourthly… There’s no fourth. Other than the three rules I set earlier, you can do whatever you want. As long as you can make me trust you, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
Tang Susu said everything in one breath and waited to see his reaction.
Good, no reaction at all.
Tang Susu felt guilty. After all, she needed him more.
“If there’s anything you want to know during this time, I’ll be able to tell you about it selectively. You can also leave and do your own things. I won’t ask you about them, but if I have any questions, you better answer them and don’t lie!”
The more Tang Susu talked, the more she felt like she was looking for a butler. However, if she didn’t trust this man, how could she keep him by her side?
He would be able to find out her countless secrets before he could even gain her trust …
Thinking of this, Tang Susu felt a little regretful. Maybe she was just a person who found it hard to trust others.
“I know it’s hard. It’s fine if you don’t agree to it, but there’s a second, even better option. You’re not allowed to come near me. Stay at least ten kilometers away and you’re not allowed to do anything that threatens me and my allies. The time limit is half a year. As long as you can do that, you can ask me any one question. You have a total of three chances, which means that this will take one and a half years.”
A year and a half later… Even if she were to lose contact with the system frequently, she had the confidence to be able to protect herself and everything she cared about during that time.
Perhaps she might have even leveled up the system to the point where it was not afraid of him anymore!
After clearing her mind, Tang Susu looked at the man outside the glass door with certainty. Anyone would know which to choose.
The man’s dark and deep eyes looked at her like a calm, ancient well, with his emotions hard to read. “Why do I have to stay at least ten kilometers away from you?”
“Because… I choose not to answer.” Tang Susu praised herself for her quick wit.
Shen Zhiting chuckled.
Tang Susu was surprised that he could smile at all, but he looked a little wicked.
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
“I choose …”
“Which would you choose?” Tang Susu asked anxiously. He was deliberately keeping her in suspense.
“What do you want me to choose?”
Tang Susu was speechless.
He was definitely testing her.
“I’ll definitely choose the first option.”
“First option it is.”
Tang Susu thought that he would choose the opposite. “I think the second option is more suitable for us. It’s simple and easy to operate.”
“There’s no such option in what you offered me just now.”
Tang Susu suspected that he was toying with her. She gritted her teeth and said, “You can only choose the second option. The first one is now invalid. It’s impossible for you to complete. When the time comes, your losses will outweigh the benefits. I might not tell you anything!”
“As long as I can gain your trust, I’m afraid you’ll have to tell me.”
Tang Susu laughed. “That’s even more impossible. I’m in complete control of how to answer such a subjective question. I’m sure that no matter what you do, it’ll be hard for me to trust you.”
After all, he came with a purpose, so how truthful could he be?
Suddenly, the man took out an ID card. “Captain of the National Metahuman Squad. Shen Zhiting. Code name, V.”
She could see the special magnetic identity card of the Metahuman Squad through the glass.
Metahuman Squad… Captain… Codename V… Every piece of information was enough to blow her into the stratosphere!
At that moment, the man suddenly placed the magnetic card in her hand.
“When you trust me, you can return it to me.”
Tang Susu was still in a daze when he turned around and jumped down from the balcony.
She was almost bewildered. If she remembered correctly, this magnetic card was something that could allow her to take command of the entire National Metahuman Squad, and he gave it to her just like that?
