Chapter 173 Contract
"Hehe, this trip is not in vain. These things are of high quality. I can make a small profit if I use them."
Cai Qing was about to stretch out his hand towards an exquisite spear, but was firmly held by Lao Bai's iron hands. Cai Qing felt pain and felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he had a flattering smile on his face. He turned sideways and looked at Lao Bai.
"Oh, you see, I have an occupational disease. Brother Chen, how about you first?"
Lao Bai ignored Cai Qing and just grabbed his wrists firmly to control him. Cai Qing also realized something was wrong and looked at Lao Bai in panic, with a hint of sullenness in his tone.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing? This is not the place to talk, and there is no rush to divide the spoils."
Zhang Shi watched from the side for a long time before finally taking action. He kicked Cai Qing in the calf, causing the other party to scream in pain. Zhang Shi put Lao Duan around his neck again and threatened him to take off his watch.
Cai Qing recognized Zhang Shi with a panicked look on his face. Only now did he finally realize that he had been fooled by Lao Bai.
"Boss Zhang Shi, I've disturbed your rest because of my short-sightedness. Please just treat me like a fart and let me live. I promise not to come even half a step closer to your territory in the future."
Zhang Shi searched Cai Qing's system backpack and found nothing of value in it. Then he checked Cai Qing's chat records and found no valuable clues. Then he asked Cai Qing He lost interest and turned to Lao Bai in a cold voice.
"Let's find a place to settle it."
When Cai Qing heard what Zhang Shi said, his heart suddenly went cold. He immediately knelt on the ground and cried to Zhang Shi with tears streaming down his face.
"Brother Zhang Shi, please spare my life. As long as I can survive, I am willing to do whatever it takes to repay you."
Zhang Shi asked casually with cold eyes.
"Even my cows and horses have to have a certain value. What value do you have?"
As soon as Cai Qing heard that Zhang Shi was loose, he immediately shook off all his family assets.
"Brother Zhang Shi, I have the means to establish a master-servant contract with others. The servant cannot have any thoughts that are detrimental to the master. It is through this contract that I subdued those younger brothers. If you need it, I am willing to hand over the contract law to you. And let you be the master, help you keep an eye on the covetous forces at sea, and be your undercover. "
Zhang Shi's heart moved, but he didn't expect that his casual words would really squeeze out some of Cai Qing's value.
Zhang Shi narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Cai Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, as if assessing the authenticity of his words and the actual meaning of this "value". After a moment, he spoke slowly, with a hint of imperceptible playfulness in his voice: "Master-servant contract? It sounds interesting. But why should I trust you, and is your contract really so binding? "
Cai Qing saw that Zhang Shi seemed to be interested in this, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He quickly kowtowed: "Brother Zhang Shi, I can demonstrate it to you live! As long as you give me a chance, I am willing to find a younger brother immediately." Come and show it in front of you so that you can witness the power of the contract with your own eyes.”
Lao Bai stood aside, watching this scene expressionlessly, but he was wary of Cai Qing's cunning. He whispered to Zhang Shi: "Lord, this person has a cunning mind. The power of this contract is mysterious and mysterious. If he regrets it in the future or secretly causes trouble, I am afraid it will bring you trouble."
Zhang Shi smiled slightly and seemed confident: "It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of proportion. Cai Qing, I will give you this opportunity. However, remember, you only have one chance. If I find out that you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you will bear the consequences." ”
If Cai Qing was granted amnesty, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will be loyal and will never betray!"
After saying that, the two began to sign the contract. The carrier of the contract turned out to be a ring on Cai Qing's finger. As his mood changed, the ring flashed with a dazzling red light, dyeing the dim study room blood red.
Zhang Shi stared at Cai Qing cautiously, holding Lao Duan tightly in his hand. If he made the slightest move, Zhang Shi would behead him without hesitation.
After a moment, Cai Qing raised his head, stretched out a palm and looked at Zhang Shi timidly.
"Master, please extend a hand."
Zhang Shi and Lao Bai looked at each other, and then put their hands over.
Just the moment he came into contact with Cai Qing, Zhang Shi felt that his consciousness was connected with Cai Qing, and all his thoughts were naturally known to him.
"There's nothing fishy about it."
Zhang Shi realized it for a moment, then he boldly expanded his consciousness, followed a mysterious guidance, and began to sign a contract with Cai Qing.
With the signing of the contract, Zhang Shi felt a strange force establishing a connection between him and Cai Qing, as if there was an invisible tie connecting them closely. He could clearly sense Cai Qing's existence, and Cai Qing seemed to surrender to him completely, without the slightest intention of resisting, let alone any evil thoughts.
Zhang Shi realized that the effect of this contract was somewhat similar to the connection between him and Pippi, except that they could not communicate spiritually.
Cai Qing sensibly handed the ring in his hand to Zhang Shi, with a little reluctance in his eyes, but more of a fear.
"Very good, Cai Qing, you are mine now." Zhang Shi played with the ring and said coldly, with an unquestionable authority in his eyes.
Cai Qing knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and his tone was full of awe: "Yes, master, I will serve you loyally."
"Don't call me master, it's a bit awkward. Either call me lord or just call me by my name."
Old Bai stood aside and observed all this silently. Although he was still skeptical about Cai Qing's loyalty, since Zhang Shi had made a decision, he accepted it calmly.
"Lord, now that the contract has been signed, how should we arrange Cai Qing next?"
Zhang Shi pondered for a moment, then said to Cai Qing: "You go back first. If there is any movement from those people on the sea, you must contact me as soon as possible. However, if you show any signs of betrayal, I will immediately terminate the contract and take your life!"
After that, Zhang Shi gave him Cai Qing's watch.
Cai Qing was nervous when he heard this, but he knew that this was his only chance, so he could only try his best to show his loyalty and value.
"Yes, Lord, I will do my best to complete the task and live up to your expectations." Cai Qing quickly expressed his attitude.
Zhang Shi nodded, then added Cai Qing as his friend, and learned some information about the situation at sea from him. Not long after, he took advantage of the night to release him back the same way.
The brothers waiting at the bottom of the cliff were almost soaked by the sea water. When they finally saw Cai Qing coming back, they immediately asked him about his situation with concern.
Cai Qing looked serious, and jumped casually from the middle of the cliff into the water. He didn't intend to say anything more to these brothers, but just swam towards the fishing boat.
The brothers looked at each other, not knowing what Cai Qing meant, so they had to follow him.
