Chapter 196 You can leave
Chapter 196 You can leave
Upon hearing these words, Li Ming felt a chill run through his body and was completely stunned on the spot.
That's right, this matter involved taking advantage of the Jiangcheng Municipal Government, which shows a complete disregard for the Jiangcheng Municipal Government and even the entire officialdom!
Hong Sheng is notoriously ruthless; could such a hidden danger remain?
Isn't this a complete joke?
"Of course, you can think I'm being sarcastic, after all, it's not the final moment yet, and no one can guarantee what Hong Sheng will do."
Xu Ye's voice continued, "If Hong Sheng keeps its promise? That's hard to say."
"But this is a gamble, a gamble with your own life, and even the lives of your wife and children!"
"You should know the consequences if you lose the bet."
“I’m different. If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can give you a sum of money and then let your wife and children leave Jiangcheng, or even leave Kyushu.”
"Once you've confirmed their safety, give me that factory. As for whether you can leave Jiangcheng, that's up to your own fate."
"Don't you like gambling? You're gambling with your own life, what's the point of dragging your wife and kids down with you?"
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You have half an hour to think it over. My patience is limited, and this is... your last and only chance."
As Xu Ye stood up, Li Ming's fists gradually clenched.
He knew very well that Xu Ye was indeed attacking his conscience, but it was also the truth.
Hong Sheng even dared to exploit the municipal government, and even implicated the son of the fifth deputy governor...
With something this big, how could Hongsheng not eliminate all traces of the problem afterward?
Therefore, this is indeed his only chance!
Seeing Xu Ye's hand on the doorknob, Li Ming finally made up his mind and called out to him, "How much money can you give me?"
Xu Ye curled his lips, not surprised at all.
But he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned around and said, "You've made a decision so quickly? Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?"
Li Ming hesitated for a moment, then said, "I believe you."
Xu Ye shook his head: "But I really lied to you. First, those two plots of land are not mine, they belong to the Yang family. Second, Wang Mingsheng is not dead, he is still alive."
Upon hearing this, Li Ming's eyes widened instantly: "Then what about you... and what happened earlier..."
Xu Ye said, "He just didn't die, but he still suffered. I'm not the same kind of person as him. I could never do something like killing unless I had no other choice."
Li Ming opened his mouth, his mind a jumble, and said, "Why are you telling me now? Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"
Xu Ye said, "First of all, if you want to save your wife and children, you need Wang Mingsheng's cooperation, so the fact that he is not dead cannot be kept secret at all."
"Secondly, you can back out anytime you want; that's your right."
"Even if you hadn't agreed just now, I wouldn't have done anything to you."
"I'll say it again, I'm not the same kind of person as those from Hongsheng."
"Finally, since that land belongs to the Yang family, I can't decide how much money I can give you right now. So you'll have to wait until I communicate with Mr. Yang of the Yang Group before we decide."
"In the end, I'll say it again: you have half an hour to think it over, and I'll come back to you in half an hour."
After saying that, Xu Ye was about to pull the door open and leave, but Li Ming stopped him again: "Mr. Xu, I don't believe in Hongsheng, I believe in you."
Xu Ye said without turning his head, "You don't need to believe me. Your destiny is in your own hands."
"The path you walk on is the one you chose. Rather than leaving your fate to others, you should work hard and take control of your destiny in your own hands in the future."
Without pausing, he opened the door and walked straight out.
Li Ming covered his face with his hands, as if touched by Xu Ye's last words, and burst into suppressed sobs.
On the other side, when Xu Ye returned to her, Yang Ling immediately went up to him: "Xu Ye, what were you doing just now?"
Xu Ye didn't explain much: "I went next door to entertain a friend. I'll introduce you to him later."
Yang Ling remained silent; she couldn't understand Xu Ye's methods at all.
Just now, I thought Xu Ye had gone mad and really wanted to kill Wang Mingsheng in a place like the Jiangcheng Hotel!
As a result, apart from the first one, all the subsequent ones were just for show.
Although they still beat people up badly, what's the point of doing that?
Just to scare the other party?
Do you think this will make the other party compromise?
Xu Ye didn't explain, but went to the water dispenser, filled a glass with water, and handed it to Yang Ling.
Yang Ling was even more confused. What was going on?
At this moment, he suddenly becomes so attentive to her. Could it be... that he has feelings for her?
Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably flustered and subconsciously waved her hand, "I...I'm not thirsty..."
Xu Ye didn't think much of it, and simply pointed to Wang Mingsheng, who had already been knocked unconscious: "I didn't make you drink it, it was for him."
Yang Ling's face turned even redder. Had she actually misunderstood?
She said, somewhat embarrassed and angry, "He's already passed out, how can he drink?"
Xu Ye was a little confused. Why was this woman throwing a tantrum for no reason?
He patiently explained, "It's not for him to drink; we're just to wake him up."
"Didn't he try to molest you just now? What? Don't you want to get revenge?"
Oh my god, so that's how it is...
Yang Ling was completely at a loss for words, and said with some embarrassment and annoyance, "Then why don't you explain clearly..."
Xu Ye couldn't understand this woman at all, and said somewhat impatiently, "You don't want to? Then I'll do it myself."
This time, Yang Ling didn't hesitate. She snatched the cup and, as if setting a fire, splashed the water hard on Wang Mingsheng's face.
With a splash, the icy water, mixed with the pain in his head, instantly sobered Wang Mingsheng up.
But he ignored the pain, and without even seeing the situation clearly, he immediately began screaming and begging for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
But as he kept shouting, he realized something was wrong.
He wiped the cold water from his face and, enduring the pain, said, "I...I'm not dead?"
Xu Ye said jokingly, "If you want to die, I wouldn't mind granting your wish."
Now that he was alive, Wang Mingsheng regained his composure.
He sneered, his eyes coldly fixed on Xu Ye: "Xu, what exactly do you want?"
"You don't think you can scare me with these kinds of tactics and force me to give in, do you?"
Xu Ye nodded: "That's exactly what I meant. So, Mr. Wang, have you thought it through? Do you want to cooperate with us or not?"
Wang Mingsheng laughed angrily: "Are you dreaming? You think you can scare me with such paltry tricks?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, when I was using these tricks, you were still playing in the mud!"
He had only meant to be tough and make a show of bravado, but unexpectedly, he was met with applause from Xu Ye.
He clapped as he said, "Mr. Wang is indeed tough. Alright, in that case, you can leave now."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, not only Wang Mingsheng, but even Yang Ling was instantly stunned.
