Chapter 526: Avoid the Death Penalty
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
She didn’t mind sharing information about energy crystal with Saohuang because
she needed his information as well. She needed to give in order to take.
However, the trade wasn't in her favor because it turned out Saohuang knew less
than she thought.
He said directly, “I don’t have many questions; I'm just curious why you two
approached Xia Meng. If there is indeed a motive, I'm pretty sure our target is the
same. That thing is very special, but I have no idea what its real usage is, maybe
you know.”
“What thing?” Xinghe asked.
Saohuang looked at her and laughed. “Are you really that dumb or do you think
I'm that dumb?”
“I can’t control what you think.”
“Xia Xinghe, I've already lost to you, won't you tell me the truth as charity?”
Xinghe stared at him and said, “If you want the truth then you have to trade with
truths.”
Saohuang groaned helplessly, “I've given you everything I know about this thing
that I am talking about.”
“Fine, then let me ask you, what is this thing you talk about?” Xinghe asked
directly. Unlike Saohuang, she had the upper hand in this negotiation. If
Saohuang wanted to know the truth, he needed to cooperate with her.
“It's a type of black metal, but what kind I have no clue,” Saohuang told her.
“However, I hear it is very valuable, I've just not come across one before.” “What
else do you know about that thing?”
“I know that many different parties are searching for it and know its location.
If you want it, then let's make a deal.”
This was his purpose. He suspected Xinghe knew about the energy crystal and
leaked some information to her to test out her knowledge. If he saw Xinghe show
comprehension of the topic then he could be certain she was also looking for the
energy crystal. Then he could demand for a deal in exchange for the information
he had.
“What kind of deal?” Xinghe didn’t continue this dance with him but cut to the
point.
Saohuang shrugged and said, “Help me stay off the death row, that's all I ask.”
Xinghe raised her brow. “Shouldn't you ask the Lin family for that?"
Saohuang chuckled darkly. “I should consider myself lucky that the Lin family
hasn't had me assassinated.”
“You knew that working together with the Lin family was like asking a tiger for his
skin. You deserve the fate that you have today.”
Saohuang nodded. “I know, which is why I will admit my sins, I will confess
everything. I have nothing to request other than avoiding the death penalty.”
“You don't look like someone who is afraid of death,” Xinghe observed acutely.
Saohuang smiled. “Who isn't afraid of death? After death, all hope is lost.”

“I do mind being your friend.”
“Well, consider that I've misspoken then,” Saohuang smiled lightly. “So, what do
you say, do you want this deal?”
Xinghe gave a vague answer, “Like I said, your crime is too big, we can't promise
you anything.”
