Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, Rost immediately smiled ingratiatingly.

"Qi Yuan, we have no other choice. It's just too difficult to see you, so we have to resort to this risky method."

"You call it an adventure, but why do I feel like you all think I'm easy to bully?"

They cause trouble if they don't come out to see them, which is simply because they believe Qi Yuan will definitely forgive them.

“We’re not easy to bully,” Rost explained. “Qi Yuan, even if you hadn’t come to see us today, we would have made a scene anyway. Making trouble at Davis’s house would only result in us getting beaten up. We’re thick-skinned and not afraid of a beating. What we’re afraid of is going hungry and cold because we have no money.”

Rost and Raymond came from the slums, and they knew all too well what it was like to be hungry and cold. They would rather be beaten than go hungry.

However, their honesty did not improve Qi Yuan's expression at all. In Qi Yuan's view, no matter how miserable or embarrassed he was, it was not an excuse to cause trouble for others.

Rost has caused trouble for his restaurant, and now he's trying to morally persuade Qi Yuan with his own miserable situation. They're really wrong. Qi Yuan is indeed kinder than many people, but his kindness only exists before the other party causes him trouble.

Being nice to someone who causes you trouble will only embolden them and cause you even more trouble in the future.

Therefore, Qi Yuan was thinking about how to avoid emboldening the other party while also preventing them from holding a grudge against him.

After all, Rost used to be involved in an organization. Offending someone like that would certainly cause some trouble, if not big.

Or should we send them to prison too?

There is food, drink, and a place to sleep in the prison; it's not quite at the point of starvation or cold yet.

However, although there was food and drink, there were also many disgusting people in that place.

Qi Yuan was pondering what to do when a familiar voice sounded behind him, "Boss, why don't you assign these two to my team? I'll take a look at them and see if they're any good."

Qi Yuan turned around upon hearing the sound.

The person sitting at the table behind was Ao.

At this point, Ao's hair was no longer golden, but brown.

He had a mole on his right cheek, and he looked somewhat old. He was like a completely different person from the one I saw at the church.

Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised by the other party's boldness.

How come she changed her hair color and got a mole, and then she's back to going to his restaurant? Just how much does she like his food?

"Qi Yuan... no, boss, are you saying you're willing to take me and Raymond in?"

Rost took Ao's words seriously and changed how he addressed Qi Yuan.

Before Qi Yuan could speak, Ao had already put on his boss-like air and said to Rost and Raymond, "You two go outside and wait for me. I'll talk to the boss for a while and then come find you."

“Okay, Raymond and I will go outside and wait for you.” Rost stood up happily and went outside the restaurant with Raymond to wait for them.

Qi Yuan stood up and sat down in front of Ao. "You're really bold, sneaking into my restaurant again. Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The guys I messed with in the first place were after my face and wanted to make money off my face and hair color. If they caught me, I'd just get a beating and then be sold as an old woman. I won't die. Besides, Mr. Qi, you haven't told anyone what I look like, have you?"

Ao flicked a strand of hair at his temple, his fingertip tinged with brown. "After Grace found out I'd met you, she frantically changed my hair color and put some makeup on my face, saying she was afraid I'd be recognized. But with so many Davis family hounds standing outside your restaurant, not a single one recognized me. I knew you definitely hadn't told them what I looked like, Mr. Qi, and you didn't say anything either."

Ao's gaze fell on Asha, who was standing on Qi Yuan.

Asa glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Ao had no ill intentions towards Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan had no ill intentions towards him either. He even gave the other party information to escape. Of course, most importantly, Noah didn't ask any questions.

In their eyes, Ao has been removed from the list of dangerous individuals, and their vigilance against him has been greatly reduced.

“You want to be caught? If you do, all I have to do is go out and shout, and those hunting dogs will come and grab you,” Qi Yuan said.

Ao smiled. "Mr. Qi, don't be in such a hurry. Aren't you going to ask me why I've come to see you again?"

"I don't want to, because I think I can already guess what you're coming here for?"

"Really?" Ao looked at Qi Yuan with amusement. "You really guessed it?"

"You've changed how you address me. I'm wondering if you still want to win me over and work with me on your grand plan?"

Ao clapped his hands. "Boss Qi, you're a smart man. After we parted at the church that day, I thought about what you said, and I think you're absolutely right. With money and guns, people will naturally join."

“And just now, I understand what you mean even better. Look at those two people, they came to you because they were desperate and had nowhere else to turn. The reason they came to you is because you have money. Money really is a good thing… Boss Qi, since you have money and I have ability, why don’t you become my boss, and we can join forces to take down the four major families? I will support you to become the new king of the Northern Continent, and my position will be second only to yours.” Ao said.

Qi Yuan frowned and looked at him: "Who sent you as a spy?"

Looking at the unreliable man in front of him, Qi Yuan continued, "Who sent you to spout nonsense in front of me, trying to sow discord like this?"

Qi Yuan could only guess that the other party was a spy sent by someone to tempt him to betray Noah, otherwise why would they say something as unrealistic as making him the new king of the Northern Continent?

“I’m not trying to sow discord, Mr. Qi. I’m telling the truth. I’ve investigated your affairs. You’re truly an extraordinary person. If I support someone like you to become the new king of the Northern Continent, I can also be called an extraordinary person in the history books.”

"Why don't you become king yourself?" Qi Yuan asked.

Ao replied, "I just don't want the four great families to continue being kings. I'd be happy to have someone I like as king, but the main reason is... I don't have any money."

Qi Yuan didn't speak, his gaze sweeping across his desk.

Ao ordered two servings of dumplings, four plates of high-quality snowflake beef, and a plate of shrimp and oysters.

Qi Yuan asked, "Are you going to dine and dash?"

"Boss Qi, I can afford the small amount for this meal. I mean, I don't have the big money for attracting people, but you do, don't you?"

"Didn't you come to Juecheng to find someone? Aren't you going to look for them anymore?" Qi Yuan asked.

Ao replied, "Of course I need to find the person, but if you, Mr. Qi, are willing to become my boss, and also help me talk to the head of the Davis family and ask them to help me find the person, that will definitely be faster than me finding the person myself."

Qi Yuan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he stood up and said, "I won't accompany you in having any unrealistic dreams, and don't expect me to ask the Davis family's hounds to help you find people. Also, you are responsible for the two people outside the door, as you fooled them. It has nothing to do with me."
