Chapter 61: Cooperative Intentions

  After inserting two wires into the plug of the power source, Wu Yuan grasped both ends with his hand.

  To outsiders, this situation seemed like suicide, but for Wu Yuan, it was just a means of increasing his strength.

  After the battle that day, Wu Yuan discovered that he wasn't much different from ordinary people. If his opponent knew he could release electricity from his hands, even if it was just one person, as long as they understood combat skills, they could defeat him.

  Enhance his own strength, no time to delay, and by using electric current, cultivate the Easy Tendon Art, is exactly what he wants to do.

  The current flowed through the body like mercury, as if a river was flushing its channels. The body's meridians had a faint warmth, and tiny bright light points appeared in the acupoints. Next, the light points turned into bright electric clusters that swam around in the meridians.

  Fifteen minutes later, when his body could no longer absorb any more electric current, Wu Yuan put down the wire in his hand and began to meditate.

  A white gas that was barely visible to the naked eye was generated above his head, which was a realm that martial artists dreamed of.

  Wu Yuan was unaware that in a corner of his room, there was a miniature camera transmitting his situation to Li Mingde's face.

  "Absorb electricity?"

  Li Mingde furrowed his brow. He wouldn't have thought that Wu Yuan would be so desperate as to want to commit suicide, but this person was actually able to absorb electricity, which was simply unbelievable.

  No wonder he was able to use electric current to injure those people that day.

  Then, Li Mingde's pupils suddenly constricted. She saw Wu Yuan put down the wire and took out a book from his bosom, began to read it, after finishing reading, he sat there cross-legged, starting to meditate.

  This posture was very familiar to Li Mingde, and many Buddhist disciples practiced in this way. The book on his side had three words written on it: "Yi Jin Jing".

  How is it possible?

  For five hundred years, countless people have used countless methods to prove one thing: that wanting to cultivate internal energy without decades of hard work is simply impossible.

  Is Wu Yuan's Easy Tendon Classic different from ordinary people's?

  Shaking his head, Li Mingde felt this was impossible.

  In the grand library of the royal family, there are countless divine manuals and secret books. From cultivating immortality to training one's body, even including innumerable cultivation methods imagined by people, everything is available.

  But apart from a very small number, those who cultivate their bodies for decades and then gradually achieve good martial arts skills from the outside in, all others have proven to be dead ends that cannot be cultivated.

  Those who practice martial arts, when they can finally cultivate a bit of internal energy, are almost always over 40 years old. They can only use it in special situations and the effect is not as good as training muscles.

  But... Wu Yuan's situation is really unthinkable.

  What's going on? What should I do?

  Innumerable thoughts surged into Li Mingde's mind.

  =============

  "Daughter, remember what Mom told you."

  When I was six years old, when my mother was about to die, my father was not by her side, only Li Mingde accompanied her.

  "In this world, the most important thing is to have your own power. For us women, wanting to have our own power, we must first establish our own foundation. Money can't compare to people who are loyal to you. Money can be spent and earned again, but people are different. Investing in talent is the wisest investment."

  Mom just left like that, leaving behind only Li Mingde who didn't understand this sentence.

  However, as he grew older, Li Mingde gradually came to understand what his mother meant by those words.

  There have always been people helping her, and those helps came from the kindness of her mother - finding suitable people to help them, which is more rewarding than saving money in a bank.

  This situation was even more evident after she turned sixteen and became an adult.

  Someone left most of his property to her before he died. When that person was young, he almost went bankrupt doing business and would have jumped off a building to commit suicide if Li Mingde's mother hadn't pulled him through at the time.

  This two-hundred-million-yuan asset came without any additional conditions. The person, Li Mingde, hadn't even met him before, but a twenty-thousand-yuan investment had brought about the current result.

  Something similar happened with Li Mingde, who had received a large sum of money and made a bold investment.

  In the Special Affairs Bureau, she had access to countless intelligence and carefully reviewed many poor students' files, then found some people who could be helped from among them.

  A drop of water in need will be rewarded with a fountain. There is no greater reward than the loyalty of a young person who has been given kindness.

  Three hundred million funds were invested in it, and then... she gained the loyalty of some people, and also made her have even greater ambition.

  "Miss, this is a photo of Wu Yuan's room with the Yi Jin Jing, and I also installed several small things on his door's electric meter."

  Song Yanran walked into the room, she finished the work arranged by Li Mingde.

  She is one of Li Mingde's gains and is now Li Mingde's assistant.

  At the age of 16, Song Yanran's parents were imprisoned for fraud after their business failed. The girl's life suddenly collapsed, and she attempted suicide before entering Li Mingde's line of sight.

  After helping Li Mingde's parents reduce their sentence and helping her rebuild her concept of living, Song Yanran became one of Li Mingde's most powerful assistants.

  "I'll sell myself to you, no matter what you command, I will do it."

  On her deathbed, after Li Mingde promised to help clear the girl's father's name, the girl made this firm promise.

  "Thank you, Yanran, can you help me compare this 'Easy Tendon Classic' with the one online and see what differences there are?"

  The OCR software quickly converted the picture into text, and with the help of proofreading software, it was concluded that this Easy Tendon Classic was a regular book published six years ago.

  Li Mingde furrowed his brow and took a look at the data on the digital meter as well as what he had obtained from the power company.

  According to this, it can be calculated that the amount of electricity in Wu Yuan's body...

  Alright, Li Mingde didn't expect to see anything from it anyway. After all, Wu Yuan being able to cultivate internal energy now is already an extremely remarkable miracle.

  "Alright, can you arrange a meeting with Wu Yuan for me tomorrow? I want to have a private talk with him."

  =============

  "I want to be your agent."

  Li Mingde smiled and sat down beside Wu Yuan.

  "Broker?"

  Wu Yuan was stunned, how could this be? Wasn't she Yu Xianrong's agent?

  "I have a short-term contract with the Baosheng company, and once this film is finished shooting, I will no longer have any relationship with Miss Yu. At that time, I will be free to do as I please. Does Mr. Wu have any interest in signing a contract with me?"

  "This... probably won't work."

  Wu Yuan shook his head and said, "I have a contract with Huan Yu Company, and after this movie is finished, I still have a five-year long-term contract with them. The contract has very strict requirements for remuneration, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help Miss Yang make money."

  "Don't call me Miss Yang, call me Sister Mingde, got it?"

  Smiling, he took a glance at Wu Yuan, and Yang Mingde showed a look of regret.

  "Older sister Mingde."

  That's good. I've read through that treaty of yours, and it's very stringent, but that doesn't mean there's no possibility of overturning it.

  The Cloud State Holiday you're filming now, once it becomes a hit, your future salary can be negotiated with the company, rather than following the original contract. There are many precedents for this, and I think that when the company signed the contract with you in the first place, they had some ulterior motives."

  He nodded slightly with some embarrassment. When the Longsun Wuguo acquired the Huan Yu company, there was only one purpose - to prevent Wu Yuan from being implicated in Yu Xianrong's case. There were some things in the agreement that would be unfavorable to Wu Yuan in the future.

  "Alright, I'll ask the Wan Yu company on your behalf to see if they're willing to sign a new contract with you. Wu Yuan, you have great talent, don't be humble, understand?"

  Yang Mingde looked at Wu Yuan very seriously, making him blush a little.

  The beautiful woman in front of me, gentle and enthusiastic, these days everyone in the crew likes her. Unlike the astute Xue Wei'er, she is familiar with business, but has a more human touch.

  "This, Ming De sister, let's talk about this after the case is sentenced. What if I'm sentenced to 7 or 8 years in prison? No matter how well you negotiate then, it'll be useless."

  At this time, Wu Yuan couldn't explicitly say that he was underage at the time and that the treaty was invalid and could be completely torn up.

  After the holiday in Yunzhou, there will be more redness. Wu Yuan is very clear that if Yang Mingde goes to ask, it will lead to very serious consequences. This is a mouthful of food, and also a kind of **naked betrayal**.

  "My younger brother, I have high hopes for you. My sister also has some money, but it's been deposited in the bank and hasn't been touched. However, now I'm thinking of using it to invest. If you're willing, brother, I can offer compensation or even buy a portion of shares in Wan Yu Company."

  "But, on the other hand, the contract with Wan Yu company will cost a lot of money."

  Wu Yuan was stunned. Chang Sun Wu had spent 400 million to acquire the Huan Yu company, and when he signed with Wu Yuan, the compensation was also in the tens of millions.

  Yang Mingde could not have been unaware of the value of Wan Yu Company and would not have been unclear about the astronomical compensation stipulated in the treaty.

  But she actually dared to say so, and at a time when Wu Yuan was about to be sentenced.

  This is a gamble. Even if it's a red-hot star, once they enter the prison, their value will plummet. If an accident happens in prison, all investments will be lost.

  "That day, you could hold me tightly and save me, I will also do my best to help."

  With a solemn expression on her face, Yang Mingde was flawless at this moment. She believed that Wu Yuan would choose her, because no one could give her better conditions than she did.

  "In terms of signing a contract, I can offer you the most favorable terms, whether it's profit sharing or advertising, we can discuss."

  "...But I'm still a minor..."

  Wu Yuan had made up his mind, if it weren't for the contract he had signed with his previous soulmate, and if Yu Xianrong hadn't helped him, he would have definitely reached an agreement with the beautiful female broker in front of him.

  "Sorry, Yu Xianrong has been kind to me, I just want to finish the movie first. Sorry, Sister Yang, let's talk about this later, okay?"

  Wu Yuan's words made Yang Mingde even more determined in his heart.

  Men with feelings and righteousness are easier to grasp.

  She smiled brightly, her eyes shining with gentle affection: "Wu brother, I actually have a lot of admiration for your talent."
