Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 683: Colluding with Evil

As she laughed, Lu Ling suddenly put away her smile and asked, "Xiao Li, are you willing to accept this?"

To be honest, she wasn’t willing at all. Mu Qiancheng was the first man she had ever liked, but he was also the first man who embarrassed her, causing her to lose face. She loved Mu Qiancheng and hated him as well.

Of course, she hated Jiang Xue even more, the woman who occupied Mu Qiancheng and became his wife.

"Not willing, what about you?" The unwillingness on Cheng Li’s face was obvious. Lu Ling looked at her, very satisfied, and agreed, "I’m not willing either, but what can be done?"

"Lu Ling, solutions come from people. It’s just Jiang Xue, we can find a way to get rid of her, and then compete fair and square, what do you think?" Cheng Li suggested. She had wanted to ruin Jiang Xue for a long time. But her abilities were insufficient, leading to failure time and again.

But Lu Ling was different. She was an officer, likely to know many people, and if what she said before wasn’t a lie, she might even be a wealthy heiress. Someone like that shouldn’t be short on money.

So, if she took action against Jiang Xue, it should be easy.

Lu Ling looked at Cheng Li, not missing the hatred and calculation in her eyes. She hadn’t expected that Cheng Li was calculating against her too.

However, right now she needed to make use of Cheng Li, so she pretended not to have noticed, planning to deal with Jiang Xue first. At the moment, she didn’t dare to appear in front of Jiang Xue and could only let Cheng Li be the pawn.

The two women, for a common goal, each with their own thoughts, scheming against each other.

"Cheng Li, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Ling temporarily buried her thoughts and asked with a smile.

"Ideas I have, but I’m missing something," Cheng Li glanced at Lu Ling and said. She was low on money; without money, nothing could be done.

Of course, she wasn’t entirely penniless. Back when she was in the village, Brother Qiang was always generous with her, and she had saved some.

But that money, she wouldn’t spend. She needed to keep it for a rainy day. As for Lu Ling, she seemed to have money, so asking her for some shouldn’t be out of line. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Besides, dealing with Jiang Xue wasn’t just her responsibility.

"What are you missing, tell me?" Lu Ling didn’t overthink, smiling as she asked. Since they were going to cooperate, she had to show some sincerity, right? Otherwise, if Cheng Li backed out, where would she find such a good pawn?

"Money!" Cheng Li softly uttered a word, and Lu Ling’s expression immediately changed as she said, "We’re dealing with Jiang Xue, what’s money got to do with it?"

"Lu Ling, how do you intend to deal with Jiang Xue? Are you planning to confront her directly?" Cheng Li asked.

After a pause, she quickly added, "I’m telling you, I won’t do anything like confronting her directly. You haven’t seen how formidable Jiang Xue is; confronting her directly, I definitely wouldn’t be a match for her."

"So, we need to find someone, but hiring people costs money, right?"

"Makes sense. How much are you planning to spend?" Lu Ling, having suffered at Jiang Xue’s hands several times, naturally knew that confronting her directly was tantamount to walking into a trap.

Cheng Li held up five fingers, and Lu Ling looked and tentatively asked, "Five hundred?"

If it were five hundred, it wasn’t much; she could come up with that. Unexpectedly, Cheng Li shook her head, and Lu Ling asked again, "Five thousand?"

Five thousand was a bit much; all her assets combined weren’t enough to make five thousand.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Li shook her head again and then said, "Five thousand is too little; we need fifty thousand!"
