Xu Ke spread his hands, motioning Jin Yuyan to continue.
Jin Yuyan took a deep breath and began to speak, "I need a sum of money, a very large sum of money. I don’t want anyone to know the source of this money, and in all of Luo City, the only person who can easily take out such an amount is you, so I ca to you."
"Straightforward indeed, but why should I spend money to support a traitor? What do you have that’s worth my investnt?" Xu Ke retorted.
Jin Yuyan’s cheeks turned red for a mont after Xu Ke finished speaking, but she quickly returned to normal. "This is just an accident. I didn’t expect the granduncle wouldn’t bla us, and even more so I didn’t expect the two elders would reconcile with a smile. My grandfather is already quite old, and I was raised by him since I was little. I can’t go against him and make him unhappy, becoming an unfilial granddaughter."
Jin Yuyan lowered her eyes slightly, looking very sad and fragile as if she would collapse if pinched.
"Miss Jin, you just said you would use sincerity to move , but now it’s just a pack of lies. I see your tongue hasn’t lost its ability; it has changed its ability." Xu Ke’s sarcastic words made Jin Yuyan’s body suddenly stiffen.
"What are you talking about?" Jin Yuyan had a hint of the perfect amount of doubt on her face.
As Xu Ke looked at this display, his smile grew broader than before, but this grin seed to erge from the darkness, making it very uncomfortable to look at.
"The fact that I’m saying this ans I’m fully aware of the things you’re doing in secret. Like embezzling company funds to buy Jin Zhengxiong’s company stock from shareholders in Bai City, and bribing nurses and doctors to inject harmful drugs into Jin Long and Jin Ling. Do I need to continue, Miss Jin?" Xu Ke asked in a tone devoid of emotion.
"How do you know these things? Is there soone around working for you? Who is it?" Jin Yuyan finally stopped maintaining her previous façade and bared her fangs.
"There’s no need for you to know that. Just know I am well aware of everything you’ve done." Xu Ke had no intention of answering Jin Yuyan, and Jin Yuyan knew it, so she didn’t continue to ask.
"I know your plan and what you intend to do. As you said, this is a carefully calculated outco of mine. So what will you use to persuade to help you?" Xu Ke countered.
"Since you know everything I’ve done, I suppose you’ve also thought about what kind of price we should pay to make you let us off, right?" Jin Yuyan retracted all expressions on her face and looked at Xu Ke with the utmost tension as she spoke.
"That’s right, I want the copyright to your company’s Emperor Ga." Xu Ke nodded and said bluntly.
"Impossible. We’ve invested nearly a billion dollars into this ga, not to ntion the efforts of our employees. I won’t sell this ga. Choose sothing else." Jin Yuyan imdiately refused.
"In front of , you have no right to bargain. I want this ga, and if you don’t give it to , I won’t help the Jin family through this crisis. You might want to think carefully about whether to grit your teeth and sell the ga to or watch the Jin family’s stocks continue to plumt until bankruptcy. Of course, the decision is yours. No matter what you choose, it doesn’t affect . The only ones you can affect are your family and the company," Xu Ke said, exerting subtle pressure.
After a long while, the newly served dishes were still steaming, but now the dishes were barely emitting any heat, having grown cold.
"How much do you plan to pay for the ga?" Jin Yuyan asked with difficulty.
She had already made her decision in her heart. The ga, once gone, can be made again, but once the foundation is gone, she will truly have nothing left and certainly no chance to bounce back.
Xu Ke raised two fingers.
"Two billion?" Jin Yuyan frowned and asked.
"Yes." Xu Ke nodded.
"Too little. Over the years, the Jin family has invested almost a billion dollars in this software, not to ntion the wages paid to workers. Two billion is far too little. Fifteen billion." Jin Yuyan said.
The software wasn’t sothing she wanted to sell, but she was left with no choice. If she didn’t sell, Mr. Jin would find out about the things she did behind his back, which would result in even greater losses for the Jin family. Jin Yuyan comforted herself, everything she was doing was for the good of the Jin family.
"Ha." Xu Ke let out a cold laugh.
"Then we obviously haven’t reached an agreent today. My price won’t change. If you’ve made up your mind, you can contact , but if you want to negotiate a higher price, then there’s no need to contact ." Xu Ke got up from his seat and walked out, leaving everything in the private room behind.
Jin Yuyan bit her lip, wavering internally, ultimately giving up on the idea of selling the ga to Xu Ke.
It’s truly too much of a loss to sell their ga for two billion.
Xu Ke was not discouraged about not getting the Jin family’s ga rights; anyway, these things would co into his hands sooner or later.
On his way back, Xu Ke received a call from Long Ge.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Liao Yanyan is missing, I sent my folks to look, but they haven’t found her yet." Long Ge said, rubbing his bald head on the other end of the phone.
"How could she go missing?" Xu Ke asked, sowhat surprised.
"We don’t know either. When that lousy assistant set the house on fire, the guys went in to put it out. After the fire was out, a man’s body was carried out of the house, and there was no sign of Liao Yanyan. We didn’t expect a grown man couldn’t even handle a woman, but I will definitely find this person for you. I just wanted to let you know to be aware. I’m afraid that old hag might go crazy and start biting people everywhere." Long Ge said, sowhat frustrated.
"I understand, if you can find her, that’s great. If not, then forget it. She’s not soone important." Xu Ke said nonchalantly.
"No way, I’m soone who likes to finish what I start. I’ll definitely find that old hag for you. I just don’t believe a woman could grow wings and fly away from Luo City?" Long Ge seemingly felt his authority was challenged, spurred on by Liao Yanyan, looking determined not to rest until he found her.
"Alright, then go ahead and find her." Xu Ke’s lips curved into a faint smile as he said casually, "However, finding her isn’t particularly urgent. Send two people to protect Yaoyao, though. After what you said, I’m a little worried about Yaoyao’s safety. But make sure to be discreet while protecting her, don’t let Yaoyao notice. I’m afraid she might get scared." Xu Ke instructed.
"Understood, rest assured I’ll take care of it." Long Ge said, patting his chest in assurance at Xu Ke’s words.
