Chapter 3995: Dragging It Out Like a Woman

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Boss, we’re not short on money, let’s be a bit more gentlemanly."

"What’s there to be a gentleman about with an old lady from Corea, treat her like an enemy."

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

They parked the car and both went into the restaurant.

There wasn’t anyone inside, it looked like it had been booked out.

In a corner of the restaurant, Lee Yongjin sat on the innermost side, flanked by two bodyguards.

Upon seeing Lin Yi not coming alone, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.

"And who is this?"

"My bodyguard, it’s important to pay attention to safety when you’re out."

"You need to worry about safety?"

"Can’t help it, I’m naturally charming, walking down the street, all your women turn to look at me, can’t go out without a bodyguard."

Lee Yongjin rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, speechless.

He really lacked the demeanor of a businessman.

At this moment, a waiter came over and handed them the menu.

Lee Yongjin raised her head slightly, and the waiter sensibly handed the menu to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was not polite, picked a lot of expensive items, then handed the menu to Zhao Yunhu, who was also not polite.

Today’s treat, just eat without thinking.

Lee Yongjin didn’t care much about it, but she only ordered a salad for herself.

"You called me on your own initiative, you must have already decided."

Lee Yongjin nodded, "I don’t want anyone in my way, blocking my sight."

"Then let’s go all-in, that’s our decision anyway."

"I know, your Lingyun Group has already started preparing to short the market." Lee Yongjin said slowly.

"You’re really one to not shoot till you see the whites of their eyes, only deciding to follow us when you see us making a move."

"I’ve heard quite a bit about your deeds, many people have been tricked by you, I must be responsible for my family’s industries too."

"But entering the game at this time, I can’t guarantee how much you’ll get."

"You Yan Country people say wealth comes with risk, entering at this time reduces quite a few risks, naturally, the returns will be less, which I understand."

"I like people like you, who are self-aware, so I have a big gift prepared for you."

"Hmm? What big gift?" Lee Yongjin looked at Lin Yi, her expression serious.

"Under Jinshan Group, there’s an organization called Angry Sea, if you’re interested, I can help you bring them under your control, and you can also have a share at this table in the future."

Lin Yi silently ate, not lifting his head.

"You have one minute to decide, if you don’t want it, there won’t be another chance."

"Don’t threaten me."

"It’s not a threat, it’s just a waste of time." Lin Yi said:

"I’m here to help you, and you’re dragging your feet like this, don’t test my patience."

Zhao Yunhu ate his steak with his head down, internally cheering for Lin Yi for daring to speak to the famous Lee Yongjin like that.

"Can you be a bit more polite when talking to me, I don’t owe you anything." Lee Yongjin said displeased.

"I don’t owe you anything either." Lin Yi said:

"We’ve known each other for so long, when have I ever tricked you, think about it, without me back then, you wouldn’t even be in this position, why would I trick you."

For once, Lee Yongjin rolled her eyes at Lin Yi in a feminine way.

"I don’t care anymore, you figure it out."

"That’s more like it, dragging it out like a woman."

"I am a woman, okay."

The meal was eaten quickly, and after finishing, Lin Yi and Zhao Yunhu left.

"Boss, you’re really impressive, even managed to scare that woman Lee Yongjin." Zhao Yunhu said, "Honestly, I get a bit nervous just seeing her."

Even though the Zhao family has a significant industry, compared to Lee Yongjin, they still fall short.

After all, even the Lingyun Group can’t compare to her family, let alone others.

"That’s just how that woman is, if you don’t intimidate her, she will intimidate you."

"Boss, did you sleep with her?"

"Get lost, do I have such bad taste?"

Lin Yi checked his watch, noticed it was getting late, and said:

"Hurry up, there’s still something to do tonight."

"Got it."

By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already past ten at night.

Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo quickly tidied up and went out to their meeting place.

The night sea breeze was cool, Qiu Yuluo held a pair of binoculars, observing the distant situation.

"Their people have already arrived, coming early like this shows they value this transaction, afraid something might go wrong, and came early to arrange things."

"The top part of the Sheepskin Scroll is in our hands, to avoid being surpassed in development progress, having a place on the world stage, they will naturally value it." Lin Yi said:

"I guess what they might be guarding against is not just Jinshan Group, but other organizations as well, right now this place is a powder keg, any small movement could trigger an explosion."

"It’s been a long time since there’s been such an easy task, it’s like watching a play."

"What’s most interesting is that we’re like hunters hiding in the shadows, while they’re clowns on stage."

With binoculars in hand, they chatted while observing the distant scene.

They continued chatting until late at night.

Around two in the morning, Qiu Yuluo observed the surroundings and said:

"Aside from Anglo, have you noticed anyone else suspicious?"

"Not yet." Lin Yi said:

"With Anglo’s intelligence capabilities, they shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, even if someone got the information, they might not dare to come, but Mammon is an exception."

Around three o’clock, three cars approached slowly.

"The Angry Sea people should be here."

"I see them."

At that moment, another car arrived from a distance and stopped across from them.

Through his binoculars, Lin Yi saw Song Zhongtian bringing people out of the car.

At the same time, the car across from them opened its doors, and out stepped a man in camouflage, holding a gun, burly, with a big beard.

Compared to him, Song Zhongtian looked significantly smaller.

The bearded man stood beside the car with a bound Cui Shengguo.

"Release our leader." Song Zhongtian said sternly.

"Did you bring what we wanted?"

Song Chengtian took out the fake Sheepskin Scroll.

"Here it is, I’ll give it to you, and you release our leader."

"nonono."

The bearded man shook his finger, "We’ll only release him after confirming the item’s fine, don’t negotiate terms with me because you don’t have the leverage."

Looked down upon so blatantly, Song Zhongtian felt a surge of anger.

But at that moment, he was left with no choice, they had a hostage, and his side’s combat power was inferior, hence he could only choose to compromise.

Helpless, Song Zhongtian tossed the Sheepskin Scroll over.

Whether it was life or death, it all depended on now.
