Power and wealth bring fragrance

Liu Ding is not a fool.

Chu Lingyi simply said, "You shouldn't have let your son pursue Chu Xinrou," which was like a bolt of lightning, instantly cleaving through the fog in his mind and making him think of many things.

He stared intently at Chu Lingyi, his eyes gradually becoming bloodshot.

"Did you kill my son?"

Liu Ding has always suspected that Chu Xinrou and the Chu family behind her killed his son Liu Gang.

After all, Liu Gang died because he tried to assault Chu Xinrou.

And Liu Gang died too swiftly and cleanly.

Not only the police department, but even he himself couldn't find any clues.

Who else but an old, wealthy family like the Chu family could cover up all traces under such a vigorous search?

However, he was always troubled by the lack of evidence, and although the Chu family had declined, its foundation was still intact.

He was somewhat unsure if he were to rashly target the Chu family.

That's why he chose to vent his anger on Wei Yuan first.

But today, he finally heard a sentence from Chu Lingyi that almost revealed the truth!

He shouldn't have let his son pursue Chu Xinrou, otherwise his son wouldn't have died!

Liu Ding stared intently at Chu Lingyi, wishing he could devour her alive.

The overwhelming sense of oppression and aura made Chu Xinrou shift her body slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Chu Lingyi remained calm and composed, looking at Liu Ding with indifference and directly denying his guess.

"No."

"Although your son was worse than an animal and deserved to die, his death has nothing to do with the Chu family."

"It's just that your son is the cause of all this."

Chu Lingyi stared at Liu Ding, and an indescribable yet powerful aura gradually rose from her body.

"If your son hadn't been so blinded by greed and tried to violate Xinrou, do you think we'd have nothing better to do than deal with you?"

"You provoked the Chu family first!"

"Although we have declined, we are not someone that can be bullied by anyone."

"You brought this upon yourself!"

With a furious shout, Chu Lingyi's aura reached its peak, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Liu Ding stared at Chu Lingyi with a near-manic expression, his eyes filled with increasingly intense malice. His fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, almost unable to suppress the raging anger in his heart. He raised his hand and slapped Chu Lingyi hard across the face.

He understood everything Chu Lingyi was saying, but he didn't care.

Liu Gang is his son, so no matter what he does, he has to cover for Liu Gang.

He doesn't care about right or wrong.

However, Liu Ding managed to suppress his raging anger.

Chu Lingyi came to him when he was at his lowest point, and it certainly wasn't just to mock and berate him; there must have been other motives.

Let's hear what she has to say first.

"If you're just here to spout this nonsense, then you can get lost now."

Liu Ding gave a cold and stern rebuke.

Chu Lingyi's lips curled slightly as she withdrew all her imposing aura and leaned back in her chair, regaining her relaxed and leisurely demeanor.

"I'm not that free."

Chu Xinrou had already opened her bag and placed a stack of papers on the table.

Liu Ding glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and the few words he saw instantly ignited his anger once again.

"Equity transfer agreement?"

"Chu Lingyi, did you come here to make a wish after drinking too much?"

"You're dreaming if you want my company!"

Chu Lingyi was not surprised by Liu Ding's attitude at all, and still maintained that indifferent expression.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Actually, I'm saving you right now.

"If you sign it, you can still have a dignified exit, and with a sum of money, you can find anywhere to enjoy a life of luxury."

"If you don't sign, how long do you think you can hold out?"

Chu Lingyi's eyes were slightly upturned, her brows full of sarcasm.

"The bank has stopped lending and frozen your funds, and you can't sell your new house."

"Negative news about you is spreading like wildfire right now. What will you do when your suppliers find out you're broke and come knocking on your door demanding payment?"

"Oh, I forgot, there's also the bridge loan you borrowed at high interest rates. Those underground bank guys are even more troublesome."

"When they come knocking on your door demanding money, and you can't come up with a single penny, what do you think they'll do?"

"A single lawsuit could lead to the dismantling and auctioning of Dingsheng Group to settle debts."

"After paying off all the debts, how much will you be left?"

"Hundreds? Thousands? Or tens of thousands?"

Chu Lingyi's words were like sharp silver needles piercing Liu Ding's heart, making his face even more unsightly.

Liu Ding had to admit that Chu Lingyi's words were true.

His current predicament is actually the result of various reasons and coincidences, and is not due to the company's lack of strength.

The various projects under Dingsheng Group actually have excellent qualifications and potential.

If managed properly, each one can sell very well.

However, if it were to actually go up for auction, it might not fetch a good price.

The wolves and tigers who have the capital to participate in the auction are all shrewd and capable. How could they possibly actually spend money equal to the true value of the project to buy it?

They just keep pushing the price down, endlessly pushing it down to rock-bottom prices, buying the project at almost the starting bid price, and then making a fortune for themselves.

The little money they contributed would be almost certainly left over after the enforcement agency paid off its debts.

In other words, once the auction is actually held, Liu Ding will become completely penniless.

That's why Chu Lingyi remained so calm.

After signing the agreement and transferring the group to her, Liu Ding could take the money and leave, remaining a high-class person for the rest of his life.

If he doesn't sign, Liu Gang will face bankruptcy.

The choice is obvious.

Liu Ding was naturally well aware of this.

While it's said to be two options, in reality, from the very beginning, there was only one!

However, Liu Ding was unwilling to be completely eliminated just like that.

This is an empire that he built from scratch!

To him, Dingsheng Group was like another son.

How could he be so easily kicked out of the game!

Liu Ding stared intently at Chu Lingyi, then reached out and picked up the transfer agreement.

He didn't even look at it; instead, he tore the agreement in two and threw it forcefully at Chu Lingyi.

"what!"

Chu Xinrou gasped in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.

The fragments fell like white butterflies, and Liu Ding's almost hoarse roar suddenly rang out.

"roll!"

"Go back to your pipe dreams. You want my company? No way!"

Chu Lingyi looked calmly at Liu Ding, whose face was contorted with rage, showing no surprise at the outcome.

It would be truly suspicious if someone like Liu Ding were to give in so easily.

Chu Lingyi ignored Liu Ding's angry curses and continued to speak calmly.

"You should know that now that I'm here, this matter is bound to have a resolution."

"I'm definitely taking Dingsheng Group."

"If you act now, you might get more money."

"If it's any later, the price won't be the same."

"Gentle-hearted".

Chu Lingyi called out, and Chu Xinrou quickly took out another copy of the contract from her bag.

"Given your rudeness just now, this contract will be reduced by five percent compared to the one you tore up."

Chu Lingyi gently pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and smiled slightly.

"You can keep tearing them, but it's okay, I brought a lot of them today."

"Every time you tear up a contract, the price of the next contract will automatically decrease by 5%, until it reaches zero."

"Please."

Chu Lingyi even thoughtfully gestured to Liu Ding to "tear it," which further fueled Liu Ding's anger.

However, he did not continue tearing.

It's just a pile of paper; tearing it up would only embarrass him.

In any case, he would never hand over Dingsheng Group to Chu Lingyi.

Even if he had to give up half of Dingsheng Group to find someone to save his life, he would never give Chu Lingyi a single penny!

Just as Liu Ding was about to speak, the office door suddenly opened again.

Wei Yuan, who was a little late, stepped into the office.

Liu Ding was taken aback when he saw Wei Yuan.

"What are you doing here?"

Didn't he hire people from the White Tiger Hall to kill Wei Yuan?

How come Wei Yuan is still here unharmed?

But the next second, Liu Ding realized what was happening.

These guys from the White Tiger Hall are just as useless as those guys from the Black Dragon Gang!

They can't even handle an ordinary person; they're a bunch of good-for-nothings!

Liu Ding, in a fit of rage, cursed the White Tiger Hall leader's ancestors for eighteen generations, while Wei Yuan, quite familiar with the situation, pulled up a chair and sat down.

After smiling and nodding to Chu Lingyi and the delighted Chu Xinrou, Wei Yuan looked at Liu Ding with sharp, piercing eyes.

"What, are you surprised to see me?"

"You think I should already be dead?"

"You old dog, you're still alive, how could I bear to die?"

"you!"

Liu Ding was immediately provoked and was about to start yelling at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Now that I'm here, it means you're in for a world of trouble."

"President Chu should have already explained the situation to you."

"Sign now, take the money and get out of here. Shenzhen City will have nothing to do with you anymore!"

Wei Yuan's attitude was even more domineering than Chu Lingyi's. He directly pushed the contract in front of Liu Ding, showing that he had no choice but to sign it.

Liu Ding was so angry that he laughed instead.

Even Chu Lingyi couldn't make him bow his head, so what is Wei Yuan anyway, that he dares to put on such an attitude towards him!

"Kid, I have to admit I've been very lucky; I haven't been able to catch you several times."

"But you don't actually think that just because of this meager luck and climbing the social ladder by marrying into the Chu family, you're qualified to challenge me?"

Liu Ding grabbed the contract and slammed it into Wei Yuan's face, sending papers flying everywhere.

"Get out of here right now!"

"You have no right to speak!"

Liu Ding coldly rebuked Wei Yuan.

He simply assumed that Wei Yuan had latched onto the Chu family's coattails and was there to cheer for Chu Lingyi, completely disregarding him.

Wei Yuan remained seated, casually tossing the scattered contract pages on the ground.

However, he didn't care, but Chu Xinrou was furious!

"You old bastard, you're asking for it!"

Chu Xinrou screamed angrily, instantly turning into a ravenous kitten, wishing she could tear Liu Ding to pieces with one claw.

Even Chu Lingyi, who had been very calm when she entered the office, instantly turned pale, slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and angrily rebuked Liu Ding.

"Liu Ding, don't push your luck!"

Liu Ding looked at the aunt and niece who had suddenly become furious and revealed a sinister smile.

"What's wrong? Feeling sorry for him?"

"I didn't realize that the women of the Chu family all have the same taste in men."

"Aunt and niece have both fallen for the same man, huh..."

"How dare you!"

Chu Lingyi was furious, while Chu Xinrou had already raised her hand in anger.

"Snapped!"

Chu Xinrou slapped Liu Ding hard across the face. Liu Ding didn't expect Chu Xinrou to actually hit him like that. He was so slapped that he sat down hard on the leather seat, his face burning with pain.

"You bitch, you're asking for it!"

Liu Ding, who had been suppressing his anger for a long time, could no longer hold back and grabbed whatever was at hand and threw it at Chu Xinrou.

The cup he was about to throw had barely left his hand when a large hand caught it firmly.

Wei Yuan stood in front of Chu Xinrou, grabbed the cup in one hand, and forcefully smashed it onto Liu Ding's head.

"what!"

Liu Ding screamed in agony as a shard of metal sliced ​​through his forehead, drawing bright red blood.

However, Wei Yuan did not stop at all, and raised his hand to slap him across the face.

"Clap clap clap clap".

A series of crisp slaps rang out, even with a touch of rhythm.

Wei Yuan slapped Liu Ding more than a dozen times with both hands before stopping, coldly staring at Liu Ding's face, which was swollen high like a pig's head.

"Have you calmed down now?"

Liu Ding was already dizzy from the slaps, his brain almost shut down, and all that remained in his mind was intense hatred for Wei Yuan, Chu Lingyi and the others. He kept muttering to himself.

"You...just you wait..."

"I'm not done with...you guys..."

Wei Yuan listened to Liu Ding repeating the same few sentences over and over again, shook his head speechlessly, and was too lazy to waste any more words with him.

Wei Yuan plugged the USB drive he was carrying into the computer, opened the video where the crew-cut youth told Liu Ding to bribe the White Tiger Hall to assassinate Wei Yuan, then grabbed Liu Ding by the collar and shoved his face directly onto the screen.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look."

Liu Ding forced open his swollen eyelids, but he couldn't see the image clearly no matter what he did.

However, the audio from the video reached his ears very clearly.

"It was Liu Ding of Dingsheng Group... who hired us... to assassinate Wei Yuan..."

boom!

An invisible bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, instantly piercing Liu Ding's consciousness and jolting him awake.

He jerked his head back sharply, staring wide-eyed at the video in disbelief, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Yuan's cold voice drifted down from above.

"This is the assassin you just found to kill me."

"Unfortunately, he was taken in by some of my friends, and he even confessed that you were the one who hired him."

"What do you think the effect would be if I released this video?"

"Cutting corners and hiring a murderer."

"Dingsheng Group will fall to rock bottom and become worthless."

"You will become the most notorious public enemy in the entire deep sea!"

"So, do you like that kind of future?"

"If you like it, I'll upload this video for you right now!"

Liu Ding stared intently at the video playing, his body trembling uncontrollably. His last line of defense was instantly shattered by the video!

The appearance of this thing has completely shattered his plan to abandon some of the interests of Dingsheng Group and win over the support of bigwigs.

No powerful figure who values ​​his reputation would associate with a criminal who hires a hitman, no matter how much profit is involved!

After struggling for a moment, Liu Ding let out a howl like a cornered beast at its wit's end, and lowered his head heavily.

"don't want……"

"I...I give up..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan and Chu Lingyi both revealed satisfied smiles.
