Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 1060: Chapter 770: Cooperation_3

Shen Tang didn’t get angry, just looked at him quietly, ”Big Boss, if I say Wu Wei wasn’t killed by us, do you believe me?”

Mo Yan sneered, ”Wei’er disappeared the day you broke into the laboratory. You were the only ones who broke in that day. If you didn’t kill her, who else could have?”

He stared at Shen Tang, his gaze like a poisoned dagger, ”What else do you have to argue about? I tell you, even if I die, the Divine Hall’s army will swiftly surround this place. Don’t think you’ll leave alive!”

Shen Tang laughed instead of getting angry, her smile carrying a hint of coldness, ”Big Boss, you’re right. Wu Wei disappeared the day we attacked the Divine Hall’s laboratory base.”

She stepped forward half a step, her voice unhurried, ”Then I want to ask you, if we really captured Wu Wei, after being hunted by you for so long, why haven’t we handed her over as a hostage?”

Mo Yan’s pupils contracted slightly, his face changed.

Lu Xiao timely interjected, his voice steady, ”Big Boss, we have no reason to kidnap and kill Miss Wu Wei. If we really wanted to use her as leverage against you, we would have spoken up a long time ago.”

Mo Yan was taken aback, silent.

His expression fluctuated between anger and doubt, like a wall starting to crack.

Lu Xiao continued, ”We suspect there’s something else going on with this case.”

”Something else?” Mo Yan finally spoke, his voice bitter.

Shen Tang spoke bluntly, ”Divine Hall.”

These two words were like a stone cast into stagnant water, stirring ripples.

Mo Yan’s pupils contracted slightly, then he sneered, ”Divine Hall? What do you mean?”

Shen Tang’s lips curved coolly, ”Exactly what you think, Big Boss. We didn’t kidnap Miss Wu Wei, but we have reasons to suspect this incident is related to the Divine Hall... It might even be the Divine Hall itself!”

”Are you crazy? How could the Divine Hall do such a thing?”

Mo Yan shook his head, clearly disbelieving, ”You two are the biggest suspects, now you’re accusing the Divine Hall? Ridiculous.”

Shen Tang’s voice became calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty, ”We did break into the laboratory that day. But you forgot one thing: we weren’t the only ones in the laboratory that day.”

Mo Yan’s expression froze, unable to counter.

”There were also people from the Divine Hall there.” Shen Tang stated word by word, ”And those people were more familiar with that place than us, more capable, and had more reason to take Wu Wei away.”

Mo Yan’s face fluctuated, as if realizing a possibility, his breathing hastened.

”We have no reason to kidnap Wu Wei, but the Divine Hall does.”

Shen Tang’s voice softened, like stating a fact, ”They want to kill two birds with one stone, turn you and me against each other, then benefit from the chaos.”

”And as for why they targeted Miss Wu Wei, perhaps there is an even deeper reason... Big Boss, on this point, you might know better than I do.”

The hall suddenly became terrifyingly silent.

Mo Yan sat there, the anger on his face gradually faded, his lips trembling lightly, replaced by something deeper, heavier.

His fingers gripped the armrest, knuckles pale.

Silent for a long time.

Shen Tang looked at him, slowly spoke, ”Big Boss, how do you feel about this collaboration proposal?”

Mo Yan raised his head, his gaze complex as he looked at her.

”As long as you take us into the Divine Hall, we’ll help you investigate the truth behind Wu Wei’s disappearance.”

Shen Tang said, ”If she’s still alive, we will rescue her.”

Mo Yan didn’t speak, remained silent.

He too had doubts in his heart, but still unwilling to trust the two people in front of him.

Shen Tang’s patience had run out too, she stepped forward, looking down, ”Big Boss, perhaps there’s something you don’t understand, you don’t have a choice.”

She looked at Mo Yan’s ugly expression, a strand of silver spiritual power appeared at her fingertips, slowly touching his brow.

Her voice was calm, yet carried a coldness that can’t quite be described, ”Making you a puppet isn’t difficult for me.”

Shen Tang’s spiritual power indeed wasn’t as strong as Mo Yan’s, but now he had been subdued by Lu Xiao, losing his ability to resist, so she could attempt to invade his Spiritual Consciousness Sea and make him into a controllable puppet.

Then, they could use Mo Yan’s identity to smoothly enter the Divine Hall.

Mo Yan’s face instantly turned pale, furious and frustrated, ”You! You’re forcing this!”

Lu Xiao chuckled gently, ”Big Boss has been in control of Sky City for years, should be well aware that power is respected here, the defeated have no room to bargain.”

”We offer Big Boss ample respect. If you insist on resisting, then we can only be impolite.”

Mo Yan was almost going to explode with anger.

Respect?

When had they ever shown him respect?

This is simply forcing him to agree!

Whether he agrees or not, it no longer matters.

Mo Yan certainly wasn’t a fool.

To be honest, he too felt a bit shaken — could it be Wu Wei’s disappearance really had nothing to do with them, and it was the Divine Hall that kidnapped Wu Wei?

If that’s truly the case...

Mo Yan’s face became paler, as he clearly understood the current power of the Divine Hall. If Wu Wei was truly kidnapped by the Divine Hall, he might not be able to rescue his daughter.

Maybe these two really could save Wu Wei!

After hesitating a while, and with no other options at present, Mo Yan reluctantly agreed, ”Alright, I’ll agree to cooperate with you!”

”Just tell me, what do you want me to do?”
