However, just as he was putting his mind at ease, Meng Xinian asked Cheng Cheng in a calm tone, "Is there anything here that you desire? Or let me ask differently—what do you hope to achieve by coming here?"
Uh, that direct?
Everything he said earlier was for nothing? Meng Xinian really doesn't believe his efforts brought this person over? He had agreed to several rather disadvantageous terms for the other party's deputy!
Deputy Du glanced at Cheng Cheng.
This guy just arrived, and Meng Xinian asks such an outright question. Could he end up driving the man away?
The sense of relief Deputy Du had moments ago returned to unease.
Cheng Cheng met Meng Xi's gaze, suddenly let out a low chuckle, and said, "Does Great Officer Meng believe your team possesses treasures worth coveting?"
"Then are you here for leisure?" Meng Xinian smirked.
"Maybe." Cheng Cheng shrugged. "City M's scenery isn't bad, and I've never been here before. Deputy Du invited me, so I came. Is that strange?"
