My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 156 - 153: Surrounded by Mountains on Three Sides 2
Chapter 156: Chapter 153: Surrounded by Mountains on Three Sides 2
Ruan Zhiming threw the question back at Li Yanan, sipping on the mouth of his teapot with a loud slurp and a relish.
"Rules?" Li Yanan repeated these words, seemingly savoring them deliberately.
"Elder Ruan, these underworld rules are not set by you!"
He suddenly laughed, a smile tracing along his thin lips, causing Ruan Zhiming, who thought he had the upper hand, to withdraw some of his playfulness!
He turned cold and stern!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhenxin could sensitively perceive that the situation in the room had suddenly become serious!
"There’s an old Chinese saying, ’The waves behind drive on those ahead,’ there needs to be some new blood injected into the circle, otherwise... how can the game still be interesting when it’s always the same old guys?" Li Yanan spoke casually, pretending not to notice the sudden change in Ruan Zhiming’s expression.
During their overt and covert confrontation...
A sudden rush of footsteps came from outside!
Before anyone could react, a head with dyed purple dreadlocks appeared before everyone.
It was none other than Ruan Zonglin, who had just been roundly humiliated by Li Yanan!
He came running in hastily, a black gun in his hand, charging straight towards Li Yanan!
The next second!
The gun barrel was directly pointed at Li Yanan’s brow!
And almost simultaneously, Lin Zhenxin quickly reached out her hand...
Lin Zhenxin’s actions were based entirely on instinct.
Yet Li Yanan was even quicker, swiftly pulling her back!
The next second, Ruan Zonglin’s gun was already aimed directly at Li Yanan’s brow!
The air seemed to freeze.
"Zonglin, put the gun down!" Ruan Zhiming spoke slowly.
Though that was what he said, he showed no intention of stopping his son!
His sly eyes even squinted slightly, continuing to savor the sip from his teapot.
As if nothing had happened!
Ruan Zonglin was visibly angry, his chest heaving, nostrils flaring with each heavy breath.
The gun was loaded!
The fear was that it might accidentally go off!
Lin Zhenxin’s wrist was held by Li Yanan, her eyes anxiously fixated on the dangerous gun!
"Afraid?" Ruan Zonglin taunted with a smile.
The Ruan family originated from Guangzhou and established roots in Danang, Vietnam decades ago, fluent in both speaking and understanding the national language.
Li Yanan’s dark eyes were piercingly bright, without a hint of fear, which greatly displeased Ruan Zonglin!
The Ruan family’s high status in Danang led the younger generation to act with arrogance and impunity!
This situation persisted until Li Yanan and his team made a strong entry into the Vietnam market.
Initially, they only developed in Hanoi, Nha Trang, and other places, and the Ruan family didn’t take this power seriously.
But when Li Yanan and his team finally came to Danang, threatening their local interests, the Ruan family panicked!
Lin Zhenxin felt her heart pounding in her throat, extremely nervous!
"Your stance while holding the gun is unstable, let me teach you!"
As Li Yanan finished speaking, the situation changed abruptly!
No one expected Li Yanan to move so fast, accomplishing the disarming maneuver almost in a split second!
Ruan Zonglin even maintained his gun-holding stance!
To onlookers, he looked like a fool!
The gun spun deftly in Li Yanan’s fingers, the motion smooth, perfect, and beautiful.
The next second, the barrel was pressed against Ruan Zonglin’s brow, just as he had done to Li Yanan moments before.
Bam.
Ruan Zhiming’s teapot smashed against the table!
"Elliott, don’t act rashly!" Ruan Zhiming’s voice was tense, finally showing a reaction!
"Elder Ruan, your hospitality is truly unique!"
Seeing Li Yanan had regained control of the situation, Lin Zhenxin finally felt relieved, anger rising alongside her relief!
Her ebony eyes slowly swept over Ruan Zhiming, full of sarcasm!
When had Ruan Zhiming ever been mocked by a young girl like this?
"On the way here, your son was exceedingly rude to us, and now, just as we enter, he’s pointing a gun at us, it seems..."
Lin Zhenxin smirked, her gaze slightly furious.
"The Ruan family isn’t so impressive after all!"
"You..." Ruan Zhiming abruptly stood up, seemingly provoked!
In contrast, Li Yanan merely stared coldly at Ruan Zonglin, as he heard a click, the gun now loaded.
Ruan Zhiming hadn’t even recovered from learning his son had provoked Elliott earlier, when the sound of loading filled him with dread!
Elliott and his team managed to secure significant benefits in Vietnam in a short amount of time, largely due to three factors.
First, they understood people.
Second, they were willing to use small benefits to secure larger opportunities.
Third, their tactics were ruthless.
Just like this Elliott before him, regardless of his international reputation.
Ruan Zhiming had seen him four times now, each time reshaping his understanding anew!
"Elder Ruan, you know what I want."
Li Yanan’s face remained expressionless, his gaze, however, was filled with an ominous glint.
Ruan Zhiming just had to glance at him, despite years in the underworld, never before had he felt like this...
As if wrapped by a deadly viper!
"I’ll have Mr. Jiang brought here!" Ruan Zhiming said.
"Dad!" Ruan Zonglin roared, his anger reaching its peak.
Ruan Zhiming paid no heed, turning to order someone to bring Jiang Dongting...
Soon, Jiang Dongting was brought in.
This was also Lin Zhenxin’s first proper encounter with Jiang Dongting.
He had a commanding presence, even though clearly held by the Ruan family, his natural kingly demeanor showed no sign of embarrassment.
Dressed in tailored black suit trousers, showcasing his robust, perfect physique.
His handsome face was cold to the bone, as tall as Jin Muchi, nearly reaching 1.9 meters.
Li Yanan and Jiang Dongting exchanged glances, even without words, they could find useful information in each other’s eyes.
The next second, Lin Zhenxin and Jiang Dongting locked eyes.
His deep eyes, profound and unreadable, but Lin Zhenxin noticed his left hand was gloved in black leather.
"Mr. Jiang has been brought here, let Zonglin go!" Ruan Zhiming said.
"Elder Ruan, keeping me locked in a secret room, how should we settle this account?"
Before Li Yanan could speak, Jiang Dongting took the lead, his voice chilling, seething with coldness.
"You..." Ruan Zhiming seemed caught off guard by Jiang Dongting negotiating with him at this moment.
He had initially intended to use the elder brother Jiang Dongting among the three to threaten the other two...
Yet, no matter how well he calculated, he couldn’t match the day’s rapid changes!
Lin Zhenxin felt a chuckle within, even as an outsider, she sensed Ruan Zhiming’s suppressed fury.
Intended to capture someone for negotiations, only for the situation to reverse, the taste of it must be bitter!
"We can sit down and talk properly." Ruan Zhiming suggested, trying to regain his composure.
"Fine, the Hui’an development project, I want the Ruan family to withdraw!"
Jiang Dongting spoke coldly, his handsome features tense, leaving no room for negotiation.
Lin Zhenxin observed that since Jiang Dongting’s arrival, the main battleground for negotiations shifted to him.
"You’re biting off more than you can chew!"
Ruan Zhiming remarked snidely.
Jiang Dongting remained silent, merely staring at Ruan Zhiming, his eyes deep as the sea, unsettling those who looked into them.
"Yanan." Suddenly, Jiang Dongting spoke.
Li Yanan, holding the gun with one hand, made a gesture as if to pull the trigger.
"Stop!" In such a short time, Ruan Zhiming was already breaking a sweat under the pressure from these two.
The Hui’an investment project had been in preparation by the Ruan family for nearly two years, not just Ruan Zhiming’s affair, but a matter for the entire Ruan family!
Agreeing meant handing over the lucrative opportunity they had at hand!
The pain of it comparable to carving off one’s own flesh!
For a moment, the scene was tense!
In the psychiatric hospital in J City,
Li Miya had just been injected with a sedative, and was asleep.
Since waking up that day, Li Miya had never been conscious.
Without clothing, she bit anyone like a dog who came near her, causing Li Yingying endless worry.
Finally, after Li Miya attacked someone again, smearing blood all over her mouth and face, Li Yingying made the difficult decision...
To send Li Miya to a psychiatric hospital!
"Have you found any information on that little bastard yet?"
Li Yingying asked through gritted teeth, looking at her daughter bound tightly to the bed.
"We found that he left J City the night of the banquet, and flew to Danang!"
Gone?
After stirring the storm and turning the tide, he just left without a care?
Is there anything so cheap in this world?
"At all costs, I want him dead in Vietnam!"
Li Yingying’s voice was filled with hatred, her eyes glinting with malice...
"Withdrawal is absolutely out of the question!" Ruan Zhiming was not prepared to budge at all.
Jiang Dongting wasn’t in a hurry, Li Yanan smirked, and soon beads of sweat emerged on Ruan Zhiming’s forehead.
What seemed as a surefire thing, he never expected it to be completely overturned!
"How about we work together?"
Suddenly, Ruan Zhiming yielded, something unthinkable before.
"Yanan, what do you think?" Jiang Dongting threw the question to Li Yanan.
"Eighty-twenty split." Li Yanan spoke solemnly.
Lin Zhenxin suddenly felt something was amiss, first looking at Jiang Dongting, then at Li Yanan.
She felt as if these two were cats, toying with the Ruan family like they were mice.
"Fifty-fifty!" Ruan Zhiming felt Li Yanan was being overly demanding, even daring to propose an eighty-twenty split!
If truly eighty-twenty, it meant the Ruan family was essentially funding these three to work, gaining nothing good!
"Eighty-twenty." Li Yanan’s face remained unchanged, reiterating firmly.
"Sixty-forty." Ruan Zhiming first gave an inch.
"Eighty-twenty!" Li Yanan didn’t show a hint of concession.
Ruan Zhiming was enraged; regardless, the Ruan family was a respected clan in Vietnam, how could they be bullied to this extent?
Lin Zhenxin looked toward Li Yanan, only to find him also looking at her.
Almost simultaneously, she sensitively noticed Li Yanan discreetly tapping his fingers three times.
She immediately got the hint.
"Since we’re at a stalemate, how about we each take a step back?" Lin Zhenxin softly suggested.
"Oh? I’m listening!"
Jiang Dongting leaned back into the redwood chair, his gaze heavy.
"Seventy-thirty split."
