Chapter 178 The Longest Day (Part 2)
Facing Madam Qian, Lei Tingting remained alert, but not excited. In this situation, excitement would not have any effect - Lei Tingting had vaguely seen two people at the street corner constantly looking over here, they should be the people who had fought with Zhang Nianzu and the others twice, she had no power to fight against them at all.
This old woman once became Lei Tingting's nightmare. Lei Tingting had imagined many times what the next meeting would be like. She even thought about whether she would take revenge after the meeting. Now all this was out of the question. Madam Qian always seemed to catch her off guard. Last time she was caught off guard, and this time was even worse than last time. Even though the hostile relationship was clear, she was left with an empty city. Lei Tingting stood resignedly at the door waiting for Madam Qian to make a response.
Mrs. Qian glanced at Ah Si who was lying on the floor in the room and said, "Let's not disturb the patient with our conversation, shall we?"
" That's exactly what I want ." Lei Tingting wanted to protect Ah Si at the moment, so she couldn't let him know who the woman in front of him was, so she simply sat down on the steps.
Mrs. Qian sat down half a step away from her. This woman was well-maintained, but she must be over 60 years old. At this age, she could not be said to be charming. Or rather, it would be an insult to her to describe Mrs. Qian as charming. She still maintained her beauty at this age and had a strong aura. She sat on the steps like a sloppy idler. Her behavior was like a queen brushing the throne and then sitting down. Even Lei Tingting had to admire her charm.
"What do you want to do this time? Take me away? Or is it a sneak attack?" At this point, Lei Tingting said, "I only have one request, don't touch the brothers in the room."
Madam Qian said calmly, "You worry too much. I'm here to congratulate you."
"Congratulations?"
Mrs. Qian said, "Yes, congratulations on passing our test. I now formally invite you."
"What do you mean?" Lei Tingting was skeptical about Mrs. Qian's words. The more high-end-looking people are, the more they like to beat around the bush. Who knows what this old lady is up to?
Mrs. Qian said: "You have obtained the qualifications to join our organization. I now invite you to join."
Lei Tingting asked: "Who are you?"
"Have you ever heard of the Ant Tribe?"
"I've heard of it. As expected, Nian Zu guessed it right." Lei Tingting said, "Liu Laoliu is one of your people, right?"
Madam Qian said calmly: "Liu Laoliu is a small regional leader."
"What about you?"
"I'm probably equivalent to the head of a region."
Lei Tingting said with a smile: "Liu Laoliu is actually your younger brother?"
Mrs. Qian said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Do you agree to join our organization?"
Lei Tingting said: "Answer me first, why did you kidnap me?"
Madam Qian said, "I told you, that was a test for you. Based on your performance, I think you are a good candidate, so -"
Lei Tingting frowned and said, "I don't accept this statement. I haven't expressed my desire to join you. Why are you testing me?"
Mrs. Qian said domineeringly, "We in the Ant Tribe have always recruited people in this way - we first determine whether you are qualified, and whether you agree or not is a matter for the next step. Of course, there has been no precedent of rejecting us so far."
Lei Tingting asked again: "Why are you against Zhang Nianzu?"
Madam Qian said casually, "It was a misunderstanding. We only knew that there was a bad guy among the Qiangren tribe, so we followed the drugs all the way from Yunnan and waited for this bad apple to show up. Who made Zhang Nianzu run into my men that night?"
Lei Tingting opened her eyes wide and said, "You make it sound so easy. Do you know Zhang Nianzu's identity now?"
Madam Qian said nonchalantly, "Do you still want me to apologize? That's impossible!" She threatened, "Don't forget, the norm for the Strongman and the Ant is confrontation. Zhang Nianzu is our ancestor. If he can't even handle this little bump and falls into our hands, we won't have any psychological burden."
Lei Tingting said angrily: "You..."
"So you still haven't answered me. Do you agree or not?"
Lei Tingting looked back at Ah Si and lowered her voice and asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Madam Qian rolled her eyes and said, "This is a great honor and opportunity. What can I do if you don't agree? If you are sure, I will leave now."
Lei Tingting also rolled her eyes and said, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"I'm not disappointed." Mrs. Qian really stood up and said, "Don't regret it!"
Lei Tingting couldn't help but ask: "Why did you choose me? You know clearly the relationship between me and Zhang Nianzu. It's impossible for me to be on the same page with you!"
Mrs. Qian suddenly smiled inexplicably and said, "You don't really love Zhang Nianzu that much, do you?"
Lei Tingting said angrily: "Bullshit!"
Madam Qian turned around and stared at Lei Tingting and said, "I can feel that you have been confused these past two days. You may have discovered that without energy and support from the team, a little white rabbit among a group of beasts can only be a burden. In the long run, do you think you and Zhang Nianzu can have a good ending?"
Lei Tingting asked excitedly: "What do you mean?"
Madam Qian said word by word: "To love a man is not just to stay by his side. If you really love him, you should use your actions to ensure his safety and give him support. You have seen our power. As long as you join us, you will become stronger and become someone who can stand on equal footing with Zhang Nianzu. As long as you use resources reasonably, you can do a lot of things. Don't you care about this?"
Lei Tingting was dumbfounded. Every word of Madam Qian's words hit her sore spot. She stammered, "But...but your purpose is to fight against the strongman race, so you are not afraid of me..."
Madam Qian said, "Of course we have our own selfish reasons for recruiting you. It is precisely because of your relationship with Zhang Nianzu that you already have a deep enough understanding of the Strongman Clan. This saves us a lot of training costs and allows you to go straight to work."
Lei Tingting slowly shook her head and said, "In the final analysis, I still don't understand your purpose. There are so many people out there... why did you target me?"
Madam Qian said, "As long as you are not from the Strongman tribe, you can join our Ant Tribe. There is no contradiction in this. Now the choice is in your hands. I will make an exception and ask you again whether you want to join us. Is your answer still no?"
Lei Tingting murmured: "I always feel that you are not telling me the truth, so I can't promise you."
Mrs. Qian said cunningly, "What a suspicious girl you are. Goodbye then." Then she walked down the stairs.
Lei Tingting watched her back, feeling a complicated emotion in her heart.
At this time Ah Si said, "Auntie, who is that person?" Although he had never seen Madam Qian, he also felt that something was wrong.
Lei Tingting was about to say something when her phone rang. She picked it up and her face suddenly changed after she heard something!
