Let them offer their loyalty

Judging from the time, Su Lingqing should be here.

After carefully calculating the time, when Jonas counted to three, Su Lingqing pushed the door open and walked in. After greeting Jonas, she sat on the sofa.

"Miss Su Lingqing is not staying at the Dawn Star today, or is she on a mission somewhere else? Why is she here with me?"

Jonas took a sip of the coffee; it was slightly hot and sour. The coffee beans were of decent quality, but not quite to his liking.

Did he ask Eiffel to change the coffee beans before? He did change it, but why does it feel worse than the original one?

Seeing Su Lingqing's eyes looking towards him, Jonas raised his glass calmly: "This is coffee, Miss Su Lingqing, how about it? I think this taste will suit your taste. If you want, I can make you a cup."

"No, of course I know it's coffee, no thanks."

Su Lingqing leaned back slightly and found a comfortable sitting position. She stretched out her hand and blocked the drink to indicate that she didn't want to drink.

It would have been better if I didn't drink it, so I could save myself some coffee beans. But it was a pity that I couldn't let Su Lingqing experience the sour taste.

Well, if we are talking about the psychological state, maybe you have tasted enough sourness in your heart?

Jonas complained in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He slowly placed his hands on the coffee cup, crossed his palms, and slowly placed his chin on it.

"How is Morning Star doing? Is he okay?"

The situation of Dawn Star is naturally good. With the support of the Alte Group, Dawn Star is not afraid of not getting any tasks. It can even be said that there are too many tasks and it is overwhelmed.

"Everything is fine. Some of our subordinates messed up the missions, but the employers didn't make things difficult for us for the sake of the Alt Foundation. They just wanted corresponding compensation. I can't believe it. Is this still the 25th District that eats people without leaving any bones?"

Su Lingqing recalled the scene at that time. When the employer heard his subordinates bring up the Alte Group, before she could say anything, the employer directly said that all he wanted was compensation.

The reputation of the Alte Group was terrifying in District 25. Even if one of her subordinates mentioned it carelessly, that person would immediately demand compensation.

"I know what you're thinking. I'm sorry, but this is still District 25, a place where people bully the weak and fear the strong, and where greed is limitless. Throwing people in there means death or becoming even worse. This is a meat grinder of morality and the rule of law."

Jonas raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Lingqing: "Whatever they say is negotiable, it's fake. They are like a group of hungry dogs. As long as they see a little bit of your flesh and blood, they will want to bite you."

"In fact, in District 25, being poor, powerless and insignificant is more terrifying than death. The Alte Group is the top of District 25, so people in District 25 are proud to be part of the Alte Group. When people with ulterior motives hear about the Alte Group, they will subconsciously think about what will happen if they offend the Alte Group."

The Alte Group is absolute in District 25. Although they haven't gone to the extent of wantonly trampling on the law, as long as Jonas wants, what can others do?

Shout with him and help him trample on the law?

"Is this the confidence that the Alte Foundation has given me?"

"This is the confidence that the Alt Consortium has brought to Dawn Star."

Jonas repeated it, snapped his fingers, and looked at Su Lingqing again: "So, Miss Su Lingqing, why did you come here to see me? Do you want to drink?"

Drinking, a very common word, made Su Lingqing's earlobes slightly red.

"What kind of wine do you want to drink? I came here just to drink with you."

"Then what is it that is worthy of Miss Su Lingqing coming to visit me?"

Su Lingqing raised her chin and looked at Jonas with ill intent: "I came here to get a map of the Federation, okay?"

In order to change the subject, she made up a few random sentences.

"I'm coming here to get a map of the Federation. Miss Su Lingqing must be joking."

Jonas stood up and placed his fingers lightly on the table: "Ms. Su Lingqing is going to the Federation to start a new life?"

"If Dorothy's ideas were not incompatible with mine, it would be better to go to her now."

Su Lingqing's expression and voice were calm, as if she was saying these words seriously.

"If Miss Su Lingqing wanted to leave, she would have left secretly a long time ago."

Jonas knew that this was just Su Lingqing's small resistance to his drinking joke, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.

Well, I didn't take it seriously.

"Well, Miss Su Lingqing, can you now explain why you are here?"

".....I heard that you were attacked here?"

Su Lingqing looked at Jonas inquiringly and asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Miss Su Lingqing, are you concerned about me?"

Jonas chuckled and sat back in his seat: "I was injured a little, but it's nothing serious. I just need to have a good rest."

"You'll get hurt again?"

"Will I still eat?"

Jonas replied unhappily and left the cup of coffee there without drinking it.

It's not really to his taste.

Considering his financial resources, the above suggestion of saving some coffee beans was just a joke.

"Is there anything Morningstar can do?"

Su Lingqing thought about it and asked Jonas, "As long as it's not something like wearing a maid outfit like last time, I can help."

Even though Jonas didn't say it, it didn't mean he needed help.

Maybe?

"If I need your help, I will..."

and many more.

Jonas suddenly thought of what Su Lingqing had just said about going to Dorothy's place.

Just fight back.

Let Su Lingqing know that not every joke can be taken.

"I'm going to have a few drinks to relax, do you want to join me?"

Chapter 492 Su Lingqing: Jonas... Please

Drink...drink?

Why are you suddenly talking about this?

Su Lingqing wondered if she had suddenly traveled to a parallel world. Wasn't she just talking about her injuries? How did they suddenly end up talking about drinking?

But Jonas's expression was calm, and he didn't look like he was joking.

"But aren't we still talking about the Federation? Why do you suddenly want to go drink? And you're not injured..."

"There's nothing much to talk about the Federation, or maybe it's not the right time now. As for those minor injuries, they're actually insignificant, but sometimes drinking a little bit of alcohol can make you feel much better."

Jonas stood up and slowly walked to Su Lingqing: "I guess Miss Su Lingqing is under a lot of pressure, why don't we go have a few drinks together?"

"Um....."

Su Lingqing pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. There had been too many things happening in Dawn Star recently, and she had actually accumulated a lot of pressure. In addition, she didn't know when the Federation would call back. There had also been some news a while ago, which had put her under even more pressure.

I came here originally to discuss what to do next, but I was inexplicably dragged over to drink. What happened?

"Why, don't you want to?"

"Not really, but aren't we still talking about business? At least we should finish the business first before we can go to rest, right?"

Su Lingqing agreed reluctantly, but on the condition that they had to finish talking about the matter before going to the bar.

But I'm just going to the bar to have a few drinks. I'll control the amount this time. I probably won't get drunk again, right?

"Business? Oh, yes, I forgot that Miss Su Lingqing has something important to discuss with me. Please go ahead."

Jonas stopped and looked at Su Lingqing.

He said these words as if he had no serious business in seeing Jonas.

After stabbing Jonas in the heart, Su Lingqing sorted out his thoughts for a while and said, "The hospital under the Alt Group was attacked. I heard that the people of the Federation rescued a very important person. Is this true?"

"Yes, it's true. Although the hospital is defended, there are not enough manpower to resist them. In addition, while they were attacking the hospital, they also sent people to hold back Esni and the others. As a result, there was no way out."

Jonas explained everything to Su Lingqing, but Su Lingqing frowned after listening.

It feels a bit strange. How could a man like Jonas, who has a thousand tricks up his sleeve, not have a large number of troops guarding the hospital?

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

But since Jonas doesn't want to tell, don't ask.

"The second question is, although this group of Federation psychics paid a huge price, they finally rescued that person. After returning to the Federation, they will probably launch a general attack on us. What should we do then?"

After hesitating for a while, Su Lingqing still asked this question. Although this question made her look a little lacking in confidence, it was better than knowing nothing about District 25's response plan.

Some things cannot be solved by simply trusting Jonas. At least various back-up plans must be made.

"Well, I have a way, but it's confidential, so I can't tell you yet. Besides, it's still a long time before Noelle returns to the Federation. I've already arranged for people to hunt them down."

Jonas smiled and looked at Su Lingqing: "The hunt will last for a while. Whether he dies or escapes, the time is not too much, but it is definitely not that urgent."

"That's right, it's a secret and can't be disclosed..."

Su Lingqing sighed. Even though she knew that Jonas had a way to deal with it and would not make any critical or fatal mistakes, she was still a little nervous before she saw that way.

"Why? Are you not confident in my methods?"

Jonas saw Su Lingqing's worry and smiled: "Why not ask your past self?"

"Forget it, I don't have a time machine."

Su Lingqing glared at Jonas in annoyance. The employees had all experienced Jonas' methods to a greater or lesser extent.

"Okay, any third question?"

Looking at it now, it’s getting late, and it’s time to go to the bar and treat Su Lingqing to a few drinks.

"No, I came here to see if you have any means to deal with the Federation, but I thought about it, if you don't have any means, how could you directly deal with the Federation like this."

Su Lingqing changed her sitting position and touched her hair: "I thought you would panic after Noelle was rescued by the Federation, but you look so calm now, which makes me wonder if you are setting a trap again."

"Maybe?"

Jonas raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stretched out his hand towards Su Lingqing: "Now I'm going to the bar to relax. Where's Miss Su Lingqing?"

"I don't really want to go, but I promised you..."

Su Lingqing clicked her tongue, nodded, followed Jonas out of the office, and got into Jonas' car.

It was getting late, and the night view of District 25 was gradually getting brighter. Su Lingqing looked at the night view and turned his head again.

“It looks gorgeous, but it’s actually a city that eats people.”

"The appetite is still huge, and it accepts all."

It was still the bar he went to with Su Lingqing last time. After ordering two identical cocktails, Jonas came to the seat where he sat last time.

"Two glasses of the same wine. This time you should pay attention to how much you can drink, and be careful not to let the same thing happen again."

"I know. I've always been confident in my drinking ability. You don't have to worry about that."

Although Su Lingqing said this nonchalantly, she still estimated that this glass of wine would not make her feel bored.

I shouldn't get dizzy from drinking...

She thought so, took a sip, and felt that nothing was wrong.

Okay, don't worry, everything should be fine now, and the previous situation will definitely not happen again.

Su Lingqing's face turned slightly red, and with the help of alcohol, she slowly began to release the pressure in her heart. After drinking this glass of wine, Su Lingqing had not yet finished expressing all the pressure in her heart.

"Order me another drink..."

"More orders, wait, I won't take you home, okay?"

Jonas gave a kind reminder, but Su Lingqing turned her head away and pretended not to hear. She moved her hand towards Jonas' wine glass little by little, and then moved the wine in front of herself.

"You are injured, I will help you...drink."

This is definitely drunk.

Jonas took a picture of Su Lingqing with his mobile phone, and also recorded a video of Su Lingqing drunk, and prepared to help her go back.

When I wake up tomorrow, I’ll show it to Su Lingqing. Her expression will probably be very interesting.

It should be a small punishment for making an inappropriate joke?
