When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 367 Another Deal

In my hazy state of consciousness, I felt myself being helped up and sitting up.

Bai Ze opened his eyes groggily, and a strong smell of medicine wafted into his nostrils. What he saw was a bowl of medicinal soup being held by a fair hand.

Mu Yaoguang looked at him with concern and said, "Big Brother, it's time to take your medicine."

Bai Ze sensed something was wrong and tried to get away from the medicinal soup, but under Mu Yaoguang's strong suppression, he was powerless to resist and was forced to drink the soup.

"what!"

Bai Ze suddenly sat up.

Some glaring sunlight shone in from the window. Bai Ze squinted slightly to adjust to the indoor light before taking in the surrounding furnishings.

These are the train's guest rooms.

There was indeed someone by the bed, but it wasn't Mu Yaoguang, it was Luo Shui.

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief; it was just a dream.

Luo Shui, who had been slightly closed as if regulating her breathing, opened her eyes upon hearing Bai Ze sit up. She was initially delighted, but then her face fell.

"woke up?"

Luo Shui picked up the small medicine pot next to her, poured out the still-steaming medicine, and then handed the bowl over directly, saying, "Drink your medicine."

Still taking medicine?
Bai Ze had a subtle sense of déjà vu, but considering that it was Luo Shui who brought the medicine, he felt relieved.

Ah Shui is too incompetent; if anything goes wrong, she can't stop Bai Ze at all.

Vegetables have their advantages too.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze smiled and said, "How have I offended you this time?"

As he spoke, he took the bowl of medicine.

"Heh," Luo Shui sneered, "You know exactly what you did. You sneaked away while I was in seclusion cultivating!"

Congratulations! Ah Shui finally knows what Bai Ze did while he was in seclusion.

Although Luo Shui's perception was not as sharp as Mu Yaoguang's, and she didn't witness the drama between Bai Ze and Yekaterina while possessed, she could still sense Mu Yaoguang's emotions afterwards.

Bai Ze actually ran away and made a breakthrough in his relationship with his sister. He's inhuman!

"Is it possible that even if I didn't run away, you still wouldn't have a chance?" Bai Ze said while drinking his medicine. "Ah Shui, dating lesbians is a dead end, and Yao Guang doesn't like women either. By the way, where is Yao Guang?"

"Heh," Luo Shui sneered repeatedly, "My sister said you stink too much, and she doesn't want to see you right now."

As she spoke, Luo Shui leaned closer, her nostrils twitching slightly, "You smell like a vixen. Are you fighting with Ekaterina or rolling around in bed with her?"

"Uh..." Bai Ze sniffed his own scent. Although he was used to it, he still controlled his nostrils to distinguish the scent that did not belong to him.

He had meticulously studied the "Cantongqi" and his body odor was almost nonexistent, so he easily detected the so-called fox spirit's pungent smell.

That was the scent of Catherine, fresh and delicate, somewhat like marigolds.

"Close combat is unavoidable," Bai Ze could only explain.

“And another thing,” Luo Shui continued, “regarding the follow-up to the deal, Ursus said they only wanted to talk to you, but since you were unconscious for two days, it was put on hold for two days.”

Bai Ze: "..."

He now understood why Mu Yaoguang hadn't come to guard him; it turned out that Ekaterina was behind it all.

"Hey Bai Ze, could it be that Ekaterina has taken a liking to you?" Luo Shui looked Bai Ze up and down suspiciously. "I didn't realize you were so capable, managing to make 'Ursus's daughter' so infatuated."

"You're overthinking it," Bai Ze shook his head. He and Ekaterina had gone through a mental battle, and although there was an unexpected incident later, which might have led to some ambiguity between them, Ekaterina wasn't the type to be blinded by love.

From her thoughts, Bai Ze could sense her love for Ursus.

Ekaterina would never let personal feelings override official business.

But Ekaterina conceded defeat yesterday, even proposing that the God of Commerce be the witness, and specifically requesting Bai Ze to intervene. Everyone clearly suspects Mu Yaoguang is a writer; if anyone should be talking, it should be to her.

'She's trying to plant a seed of discord between me and Yaoguang.'

Bai Ze's thoughts flashed, and at the same time, he quietly activated the mimicry AI to perform calculations.

'Is she trying to steal my boyfriend?'

Just because Catherine doesn't know how to use a seductive charm doesn't mean she wouldn't use her beauty to test Bai Ze.

'That's quite a clever tactic.'

Bai Ze rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache, and downed the bitter medicine in one gulp.

To be honest, this medicinal soup is quite effective. I had been unconscious for two days, but after drinking this bowl of soup, my mental strength has been fully restored, and my blood and energy have become more active.

Bai Ze threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, and was about to ask Luo Shui where Mu Yaoguang was now.

But before he could speak, he suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something.

Then, he sighed and walked over to the sofa to sit down.

About two minutes later, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice with a foreign accent, "Excuse me, has Bai Ze woken up?"

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Shui immediately looked suspicious and turned to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze also looked at her, gesturing for Luo Shui to turn on the switch.

Seeing this, Luo Shui glared at Bai Ze and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was indeed Catherine. She was dressed in her usual military uniform, with a dark blue cavalry cap and a matching double-layered military coat. The long hem of the coat resembled a skirt, covering her slender legs and revealing only her boots.

Bai Ze turned his gaze to the door, where he met Ekaterina's gaze from afar, and both sensed something.

Having clashed mentally, the two were highly sensitive to each other's spiritual power. Shortly after Bai Ze awoke, Ekaterina sensed his spiritual energy.

Similarly, as Catherine moved, Bai Ze also sensed her approaching.

“It seems I have arrived at just the right time.”

As she spoke, Ekaterina walked straight past Luo Shui and sat down gracefully opposite Bai Ze, her long silver hair cascading down her back like blooming flowers.

Then Ekaterina raised her right leg and crossed it over her left leg. As her leg moved, the hem of her dress rose, revealing her military boots and a section of black stockings. Her clothes tightened slightly as she changed her posture, highlighting her full figure.

The time has come to test our cadres.

Bai Ze, without glancing to the side, replied in a calm tone: "If it's about discussing a deal, there's really no need for that; the writer has already made the arrangements."

Luo Shui is standing right behind Bai Ze, watching this place; she is Mu Yaoguang's spy.

If Bai Ze behaves badly, he might really have to "take medicine" this time.

“That was our deal with the writer,”

Ekaterina was unfazed by Bai Ze's indifference. She reached out and brushed a long strand of hair between her fingers, twirling it as she smiled and said, "What I wanted to discuss with you is the deal between you and me. You should have noticed that I am proficient in the techniques of your Eastern Xia Buddhist sect because Ursus once obtained a Buddhist scripture."

"I've also noticed traces of that technique on you. You obtained the 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm', right?"
