Xue Can's gaze sharpened. "You're still going out?"
After what happened today, Shen Lu was still planning to go out tomorrow, and to the research institute in the Upper City District, no less.
Wasn't she afraid?
Shen Lu nodded. "I have some business at the research institute that I can't put off. Mr. Xue, you can name your price."
Xue Can took a breath, staring at Shen Lu for a moment. Seeing she had no intention of backing down, he quoted a number.
Shen Lu had a basic understanding of mercenary rates. Xue Can's asking price wasn't high; in fact, it was far below the market average.
Shen Lu accepted without a second thought.
Xue Can wanted something from her, so it was normal for him to make a show of goodwill.
She promptly transferred the payment, and the two of them set a time.
"I'll come by motorcycle," Xue Can said. "It's more convenient and faster."
"Alright," Shen Lu agreed.
After seeing Xue Can off, Shen Lu rolled her stiff neck and slowly headed upstairs.
