"Right now, I'm giving you another chance. Do you want me to take you for a medical check-up?"
Yakumo figured if Li Zheng acted on his own, who knows what kind of trouble he'd cause. Rarely breaking her own rules, she offered him a choice once more.
In the past, if someone rejected her once, she'd be too lazy to bother again.
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course!"
Li Zheng nodded repeatedly, then he asked, puzzled, "Actually, you taking me for a check-up is just a way to make some extra cash, right? Why don't I just give you the money directly, and you help me out, doesn't that cut out the middleman?"
"You think I don't want to?"
Yakumo led Li Zheng down the street: "But I have official duties. Accepting gifts privately would count as taking bribes. Do you want to cost me my job?"
"That serious?"
Li Zheng was surprised. Is the Outer City managed that strictly?
"Wait a minute, but isn't making extra cash through commissions still like taking bribes?"
