Chapter 903 No Bargaining Chip for You
Chapter 903 No Bargaining Chip for You
"Lin Feng? You actually believe in Lin Feng that much? Just because of a young man in his early twenties, you think he can come to save you? You must be dreaming—don’t kid yourselves!" Upon hearing Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er express such confidence, Yang Shu immediately felt disdain in his heart, and his voice brimmed with scorn. That Lin Feng might handle Max Dorrell, but to rescue two women? He was utterly overestimating himself. If Lin Feng dared to come, he would definitely let the two women watch how he tormented Lin Feng to death!
Yang Shu knew a bit about Lin Feng’s anger. Last year, Max Dorrell suffered a lot at Lin Feng’s hands—indeed, Lin Feng was quite skilled. But that was all there was to it; beating an AAA-ranked fighter was nothing to brag about. In front of him, Lin Feng wasn’t even fit to carry his shoes. Yet, these two women still confidently believed that Lin Feng would definitely rescue them—what a joke!
"Ignorance really is terrifying. Don’t you understand? You’re seeking death. Lin Feng will find you soon, and once he does, none of you will survive!"
"Don’t you think you’re so formidable? In front of Lin Feng, you really aren’t anything. Lin Feng will certainly not spare you!"
Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er felt their temper rise when Yang Shu spoke so dismissively of Lin Feng. In their eyes, Yang Shu was indeed seeking his own death. Lin Feng’s prowess was indescribable, and here he was, so complacently ignorant of the outside world, thinking himself formidable. It wouldn’t be long before Lin Feng found them, and when that time came, these people’s end would arrive. If they dared to touch the women, they would have to face Lin Feng’s wrath!
Even though held by the Dark Demons, Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er were not at all frightened because they knew that Lin Feng was omnipotent and would surely come to rescue them at the first opportunity. Their safety wasn’t a problem at all; there was no need for concern, so the women did not feel any rush.
"Ha ha... I really wish that Lin Feng would come. Then, you’ll see with your own eyes how I crush his bones, piece by piece, making him beg for life but unable to die, ha ha..."
Hearing the women’s words, Yang Shu laughed even louder, believing that whatever the women said was merely an enormous joke. He wasn’t who he used to be, not even average S-ranked experts could guarantee leaving his presence alive, let alone Lin Feng saving the women. Assuming Lin Feng could do anything to him? That was the biggest joke of all!
Having spoken, Yang Shu signaled to his subordinates, who immediately gagged the mouths of the two women. He didn’t want to hear any more of their nonsense. He had no time for petty arguments; he still had to negotiate with Shen Tian.
While Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er were about to say something, their mouths were silenced. Helpless, they could only lean against each other and watch Yang Shu, making no further moves. They were smart enough to know that the best thing to do at that moment was nothing and wait for Lin Feng to come and avenge them.
"Shen Tian, you’ve heard their voices. Now it’s time for us to have a serious talk, isn’t it?" Yang Shu shifted his tone, returning to a cold demeanor, addressing Shen Tian. Now that Shen Tian knew that the two women were unharmed, he should feel at ease. It was time to discuss serious matters.
"You tell me, what do you want to free my daughter and the others?" Shen Tian, suppressing his rage, asked calmly. He appeared composed, but the anger inside him was already boiling over. Even though he knew his daughter and the other were not in immediate danger, under the circumstances, Shen Tian realized that he couldn’t afford to lose his temper or his rationality. Yang Shu had a clear motive for his actions, so Shen Tian decided to find out what Yang Shu wanted first.
"Shen Tian, you truly are Shen Tian. Well then, I’ll state my demands. I want the businesses and shops my father owned before he died. That’s not too much to ask, right?" Hearing Shen Tian’s words, Yang Shu couldn’t help but laugh. This was his chance to ask for the moon. With Shen Yao and her companion in his hands, he had no doubt Shen Tian would comply. And he had already figured out exactly what he wanted; after all the suffering he had endured, he wouldn’t let it have been in vain—he was going to make the Shen Family pay.
But Yang Shu was clever. He knew that asking for too much outright might lead to a complete breakdown, which wasn’t what he wanted. So Yang Shu shifted strategies, intending to extort them bit by bit indefinitely until he had squeezed everything from Shen Tian and then killed him. By the time Shen Tian realized that he had nothing left, it would be too late for any action.
It must be said, Yang Shu was smart. With Shen Yao in his grip, he could extort little by little without Shen Tian noticing anything amiss. By the time Shen Tian realized something was wrong, Yang Shu would have already extracted many concessions from him. Even if Shen Tian wanted to back out by then, it would be impossible. This strategy was indeed vicious!
"No problem, I can agree to your terms," Shen Tian said upon hearing Yang Shu’s request, not even considering it before he directly agreed. These enterprises meant little to the Shen Family, and if Yang Shu wanted them, then let him have them. As long as his daughters could be exchanged back, let alone these enterprises, he could bear the cost even if it were several times more.
"Don’t rush me. There’s still more. After all these years, you should compensate me with some money, right? Not much, just transfer 50 billion to me first. This amount is something you, Shen Tian, can easily afford, especially with Shen Yao in my custody." Hearing that Shen Tian agreed to his demands without hesitation, just as he had previously anticipated, Yang Shu was pleased, and thus he stated his second condition. How could he miss such an opportune moment?
"50 billion is also fine, as long as you release my daughters, I can agree to anything," Shen Tian said to Yang Shu’s request for money, not surprised at all. It would have been abnormal if Yang Shu didn’t want money. Although 50 billion seemed like a lot, Shen Tian could afford it. Since Yang Shu had made the request, and his daughters were in Yang Shu’s hands, Shen Tian had to comply with Yang Shu’s demands for the safety of his daughters.
At that moment, Lin Feng’s hands finally stopped moving. He gestured to Shen Tian and Uncle Fu with a wave of his hand, signaling them to stop talking and come over to see the other party’s location.
No one expected that their adversary was actually out at sea, moving at a very high speed. They were likely not on a boat but on a plane. Upon seeing this, all three were stunned. They had never expected such a development. No wonder they couldn’t find anyone despite the chaos in Yuegang; their opponents had already left by plane...
...
Meanwhile, Yang Shu was blissfully unaware that Lin Feng had tracked his movements. He was quietly reveling in self-congratulation. With a successful first demand, a second would inevitably follow, but what would his next terms be...
"Alright then, go take care of these matters first," said a cheerful Yang Shu, simply indicating that Shen Tian should do as he had been told. Things were far from over; how could he possibly settle for such modest demands? What he had asked for was hardly enough to cover the interest.
"The enterprises and money are not an issue. I can transfer them to you at any time, but it seems you’ve forgotten something. When will you hand over my daughters?" Shen Tian caught on to what Yang Shu had implied after hearing his words. If everyone was up in the sky, how would his daughters return once he transferred the enterprises and money to Yang Shu?
"You don’t get to talk about whether or not I’ll release someone; that’s my business. You have no bargaining chip. You wouldn’t want the girls to have any accidents, would you? Let’s leave it at that for now, and you’ll wait for my next call to discuss other matters."
Yang Shu laughed smugly, responding to Shen Tian. He couldn’t possibly hand over the hostages now; that was simply out of the question. He wanted more than just these demands; he wanted the entire Shen Family. And with Shen Yao in his possession, Shen Tian had no grounds to negotiate. Shen Tian had no choice but to comply with his demands.
Yang Shu felt excellent about his situation, having anticipated and arranged everything according to his plan. Everything was under his control. It seemed inevitable that Shen Tian would face a future of bankruptcy and destruction—his revenge was nearly complete!
"You..." Shen Tian, a well-known businessman, could easily guess what Yang Shu was thinking. This left him at a loss for words, and although he wanted to refuse Yang Shu’s demands—knowing Shen Tian’s true intent was to blackmail him incessantly using his daughters as leverage—he couldn’t. Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er were in the enemy’s hands. What could he do?
Just then, Lin Feng snatched the phone out of Shen Tian’s hand, as Yang Shu seemed about to end the call. Lin Feng held the phone with one hand while his other hand continued to dance across the keyboard. This was no time to let the other party escape; it was out of the question.
Shen Tian and Uncle Fu were flabbergasted by Lin Feng’s actions. They had been amazed at his proficiency in using the computer to track their foes, not expressing much surprise at their knowledge of Lin Feng. But they never expected Lin Feng to be able to manage a phone call and swiftly operate the keyboard with one hand. This was absolutely mind-boggling!
Though they didn’t know what Lin Feng was up to, they understood Lin Feng’s character and habits; Lin Feng never did anything pointless. Since he was acting in this manner, there must be a good reason for it. With this in mind, they turned their attention away from their astonishment at Lin Feng’s computer skills, eager to see what he would do next.
