I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 73: He has lived long enough, it's time for him to go and die.

The woman in red narrowed her eyes and her movement of holding the tea cup paused slightly, then she asked with a smile, "Prince Yan, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Jin said, "I know that bringing more people and boasting about the intelligence network and power you have at the table can help reduce losses."

"But today it's not going to work, because I'm not buying it. And if we really fight, I'm afraid that neither I nor the Vice Master can do anything to each other, at most we'll end up with a mutually destructive outcome."

"Vice Master, you're a smart person, and you naturally don't want to see this kind of thing happen."

The woman in red listened quietly.

Suddenly, she smiled and spoke softly, "Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, is straightforward in her temperament and doesn't mince words or avoid confrontation."

Xiao Jin thought she was criticizing her without tact.

After all, villains or bosses in TV dramas always speak in a cryptic and inscrutable way, making it hard to grasp their meaning.

Indeed, speaking in terms that are easy to understand can lower one's status.

Who knew the woman in red would purse her pretty lips and smile, saying, "I appreciate and like your temperament."

Xiao Jin fell silent.

Could she say that?

The woman in red noticed her silence and smiled even more.

The Prince of Yan, who always sought to gain the upper hand, was still a young man with thin skin.

However, the woman's smile faded slightly the next moment.

Because she saw the faint smile on Chu Shao's lips.

Their eyes met.

The woman in red had the feeling that if she said anything else inappropriate, Chu Shao's sharp dagger would be at her throat in an instant.

Although Chu Shao smiled very gently, the feeling she gave her was suffocating.

So the woman in red gave up the idea of teasing Xiao Jin and spoke seriously, "Since the Prince of Yan is also straightforward, I'll be frank too - the master Shen will definitely come back."

Xiao Jin said meaningfully, "Whether Master Shen can come back or not, it depends on how much the Vice Master is willing to pay."

Upon hearing this, the red-clad woman said confidently, "Didn't the Prince of Yan say earlier that Master Shen's life is worth nothing?"

Xiao Jin answered indifferently, "That's what this prince thought before, but now I just want to use his life to exchange for a life that's worth even less."

At this point, the woman in red's face changed slightly.

She touched the blue and white pattern on the porcelain cup and asked with a smile, "I wonder whose life the Prince of Yan wants?"

"Mister Mu's son, Mu Yuan."

Xiao Jin looked at the red-clad woman seriously, "This prince only wants him dead for now."

...

Silence fell.

She spoke as if she was talking about plucking a cabbage, assassinating a Prime minister of the country.

After a while, the woman in red suppressed the urge to mock and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, do you think... the life of the Household Department's assistant minister is worthless?"
