Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Chapter 279 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (32 words)

Ran Cang's tone was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction. She wished she could fly to Ruan An's side immediately and personally comfort this poor child.

Hearing Ran Cang's sarcastic remark, Li Que's heart skipped a beat. Fearing the two would start arguing over Ruan An, he quickly shouted:

"Hey, wait! Stop arguing, stop arguing! Do you know who the big boss of the dungeon is?"

This abrupt question was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flames of an impending argument.

Changsheng was completely baffled by this nonsensical question and replied in confusion:

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Shouldn't we be thinking about how to help Yun Sui escape the underground city's pursuit and how to appease Ruan An?

Why bring the boss into this now?

Li Que remained silent for a moment, as if carefully choosing his words, before slowly speaking:

"Think about it, Yun Sui has made such a big fuss this time, the underground city will definitely not let it go."

Let's see if we can go and apologize to them with just the few of us, trying our best not to let the boss know that we've embarrassed him.

"If we can resolve this privately, we might be able to save Yun Sui and avoid implicating everyone else."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire channel fell silent, so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly.

Yun Sui stood in the warehouse, belatedly realizing what was happening, and inwardly groaned:

"Oh no, I've gotten my wife into trouble."

I haven't even won him over yet, and I'm already being rejected? I should have known better than to be so impulsive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temples, his face full of annoyance.

Ran Cang also temporarily put aside his speechless choking at Yun Sui and fell into thought:

"The owner of this underground city is very mysterious and never lets a word of it out."

"Are we just going to apologize so rashly, without even knowing their preferences and temperament? Aren't we just throwing our lives away?"

Changsheng continued:

"Yes, and we don't even know if the boss is male or female, old or young. If we just go there rashly, we won't know where to start."

What if we run into bad luck? Wouldn't that be even worse?

As Li Que listened to Ran Cang and Chang Sheng's words, he paced back and forth in the room, the sound of his shoes scraping against the floor particularly clear in the silence.

Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes lighting up as if he had thought of something, and said urgently:

"Wait, since this boss is so mysterious and we can't get any direct information about him, are there any insider tips?"

Perhaps we can find some clues in those unfounded rumors.

Changsheng remained silent for a moment, and the sound of his fingers tapping on the table came through the receiver, as if he was considering whether or not to speak.

After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"...That is true."

However, these are all hearsay, and it's hard to know how reliable they are.

As you know, the rumors circulating in this underground city are a mix of truth and falsehood, and not much of it can be believed.

Upon hearing that there was hope, Li Que hurriedly urged:

"Never mind whether it's reliable or not, just tell me. Maybe by sheer luck we'll find a crucial clue."

"We're in a dire situation now, so we can't worry about anything else."

Ran Cang echoed:

"Yes, Changsheng, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me."

Changsheng cleared his throat and began to speak:

"I overheard some old guys chatting on the black market before, saying that the owner of this underground city is no ordinary person and has an unfathomable background."

They mentioned several candidates, the most likely being the mysterious arms dealer, Blood Fox.

"Blood Fox?"

Upon hearing the name, Yun Sui paused, muttering to herself, "Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Changsheng explained:

"I only heard it from those people."

This Blood Fox possesses the most advanced military equipment.

Both the government and other underworld forces are eager to get their goods from him, but the difficulty is beyond imagination.

Very few people can actually get the goods from Blood Fox; it mainly depends on Blood Fox's own wishes.

Given his extraordinary status and ruthless methods in the arms industry, he must have an extremely wide network of connections.

So there's some truth to the claim that he's the owner of the dungeon.

Li Que stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought:

"That makes some sense."

But if it really is him, how can we apologize? Will he let us off so easily?

Ran Cang sighed helplessly, his voice filled with sorrow:

"If Blood Fox is really this difficult to deal with, then we've really run into a trap this time."

"With Yun Sui's outburst, turning their territory upside down, there's no way he'd swallow this insult."

Yun Sui was in the warehouse, listening warily to the sounds outside, and couldn't help but complain:

"I had no idea it would cause such a huge mess; I just wanted to get Ruan An out as quickly as possible."

If I had known the dungeon boss might be Blood Fox, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if you gave me a hundred lives.

Changsheng pushed up his glasses, which weren't even on his nose, and analyzed:

"However, we can't just keep guessing; we need to come up with some practical solutions."

Since we suspect the boss is Blood Fox, let's start with him and see if we can find a breakthrough.

Li Que's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had remembered something, and he said excitedly:

"By the way, I also heard a rumor that Blood Fox and the Imperial Marshal have a particularly good relationship."

"As long as the marshal wants it, Blood Fox will frequently supply him with goods, though it's unclear whether that's genuine."

"What? You knew about this too?!"

Ran Cang's voice rose instantly, tinged with surprise and excitement.

"I've even been a fan of both of them!"

Previously, on some private forums, people had been pairing them up and shipping them as a couple.

"One of them wields immense power in the underworld, while the other commands a large army in the empire—this combination is simply incredible."

Yun Sui looked bewildered and couldn't help but ask:

"Shipping couples? What's that?"

I don't understand a word you're saying.

Ran Cang explained with a smile:

"I just treat them as a couple, imagine all sorts of stories between them, and think they are a perfect match."

However, this is all just the fans' imagination; who would have thought that their relationship in real life might actually be more than just ordinary.

Changsheng picked up the conversation:

"If this news is true, perhaps we can try to find a solution from the Imperial Marshal."

"If we can get the marshal to intercede on our behalf, maybe Blood Fox will spare us out of respect for the marshal."

Li Que frowned, and said with concern:

"But the Imperial Marshal is not someone you can easily meet. We can't even see him. How can we ask him for help?"

Besides, we're not even sure if this news is reliable. What if it's wrong? Wouldn't we be asking for trouble?

Ran Cang bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Whether it's reliable or not, it's at least a clue."

We can try to find out if we can find someone who has some connection with the marshal, and maybe we can make a connection.

It's better than us just sitting here anxiously.

Listening to their discussion, Yun Sui felt there was some truth to it, and said:

"Alright, you guys go and find out first, we'll continue hiding here."

I hope you can find a solution as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the gambling area was in a mess, with tables and chairs overturned on the ground, gambling equipment scattered everywhere, and injured gamblers groaning in pain in a corner.

The deputy team leader, sweating profusely, directed his men to bring everyone at the scene under control.

His eyes were filled with anxiety and unease as he kept scanning the crowd, afraid of making the slightest mistake.

Just then, a figure slowly walked into the gambling area.

The deputy team leader's tense body instantly stiffened upon seeing this person.

His expression shifted from anxiety to extreme fear, then quickly adjusted to an extremely humble demeanor.

His legs trembled slightly, and he slowly lowered his head, his voice trembling and low as he respectfully said:

"Hi boss."
