Liu Yun couldn’t help but admire Li Yan; his psychological fortitude was indeed immense.
Even at such a juncture, he still remained as calm and composed as ever.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Jiang Xu entered with An Nuonuo from outside.
This caused Li Yan’s eyes to narrow slightly, but the next second, he approached them with enthusiasm, “Haha, what wind has blown you two over? Take a seat qui… Ahh!!”
As he got close to Jiang Xu, Li Yan let out a scream.
He was kicked away by Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu had used nearly all his strength for that kick, with an added buff of fury.
Instantly, Li Yan was sent flying several meters, smashing into a chair on his way, which was bent out of shape.
Taken completely by surprise and hit by such a fearsome kick, Li Yan’s vision went dark for a moment, and he nearly passed out.
The scene was thrown into chaos, and Li Yan’s bodyguards hurried in to help him up.
The rest of the shareholders looked displeased and chastised Jiang Xu.
“Jiang Xu, don’t get too carried away.”
This is outright disrespect towards my Century Jewelry!”
“This won’t be let go so easily!”
Li Yan grimaced in pain, taking quite a while to recover.
still, he maintained his amiable persona, “Don’t be hasty, there must be some misunderstanding here.”
Seeing this, the other shareholders couldn’t help but admire him.
“Old Li is just too honest.”
“Ah, it’s so easy to suffer a loss with that attitude.”
“Even if you’re a good-tempered man, this can’t just be let go.”
Jiang Xu had to admit defeat.
This old fox’s acting skills could outdo an entire host of thespians.
However, unfortunately for him, these to Jiang Xu seemed nothing more than the last throes of the dying.
He took out a document from his person and laid it on the table, “This is an official authentication report from Magic City.
The recording you all just heard has been officially compared with Li Yan’s voice by Magic City authorities, and it’s a hundred percent match.
It also bears the official Magic City stamp, which I believe anyone with a grain of sense wouldn’t dare to fake.”
Li Yan was no nobody; one could still find videos of him making public appearances and giving speeches online.
Extracting his voice was just a matter of minutes.
One of the shareholders picked up the report and instantly turned grave.
It was then passed around to the other shareholders.
After each had a look, their gazes towards Li Yan once again carried a cold murderous intent.
When times are good, everyone behaves politely.
But if you stand in the way of people making money,
then no matter the past favors or bonds, they will not let you off the hook.
Everyone is no fool; they are very clear about the stir this incident would cause once it breaks out and the enormity of the damage.
And after Jiang Xu took out that report, Li Yan finally changed his expression.
Still, he kept his composure and looked at Jiang Xu, “I’m willing to offer ten billion as compensation to put an end to this, how about it?”
“Hehe, five billion? Are you trying to bribe a beggar?” Jiang Xu scoffed, “Twenty billion, not a penny less!”
Struggling to control his rage, Li Yan countered, “Ten billion, that’s my limit.
After all, no one keeps so much cash on hand.”
“Okay,” Jiang Xu shrugged, “Transfer the money now.”
He gave an account number for his bank overseas.
Of course, the money couldn’t be sent directly to his domestic bank card.
Li Yan was in pain thinking about the money, but considering that ten billion could resolve this issue, it seemed worthwhile.
He immediately ordered his people to deal with it.
Less than ten minutes later, Jiang Xu received a notification of the funds arriving on his mobile phone.
His face, however, showed little change in expression, as he simply said to Li Yan, “Consider these ten billion as compensation for my wife’s medical expenses.
Now, you can prepare for your affairs after death.”
“What?!” Li Yan’s face completely changed, “You’re not honouring your word!”
He had thought that in front of so many business moguls, Jiang Xu wouldn’t possibly dare to do something like this.
Heh. Jiang Xu sneered, ”1 never keep my word with trash.”
With that, Jiang Xu turned to the other Century Jewelry shareholders, “Li Yan must die today, you all handle it.”
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became extremely heavy.
A shareholder waved his hand, ordering all the bodyguards to leave first.
“I’ll go first,” Liu Yun spoke up again, “No one can affect the operation of the company, everyone must bear their own consequences.”
The rest of the shareholders also expressed their opinions one after another.
“Old Li, you were utterly foolish to do such a thing.”
Take care of it yourself, don’t make us do it.”
“That’s right, if we have to do it, our methods won’t be too gentle.”
“Think about your wife and children, as long as you can appease Jiang Xu’s anger, they can be safe and sound.”
“Old Li, you’re a smart man, you know what to do.”
Hahahaha!” Li Yan suddenly burst into bitter laughter, “Who would have
thought, I’d end up falling into your hands.”
Jiang Xu looked on coldly.
He had brought this on himself.
“Fine!” Li Yan suddenly stopped laughing, his face resolute, “I can face death, but what if Jiang Xu breaks his word again?”
“We won’t let that happen,” Liu Yun assured.
The rest of the shareholders echoed in agreement.
Li Yan’s expression returned to calmness, “Good, give me half an hour to put everything in order.”
He then went to the window and started making phone calls.
First, he called his wife, then his children.
He gave out all the necessary information like the bank card PIN, the safe’s combination, and so on.
His daughter was crying inconsolably, unable to accept what was happening.
Li Yan said, “My daughter, remember to take good care of your mother with your brother, and don’t seek revenge for me.
You’re… not Jiang Xu’s match, even your father has fallen.
Remember my words, don’t let our family line end here.”
“Wuuu… Daddy, don’t leave me…”
Li Yan decisively hung up the phone.
Then he formatted his cell phone and broke the SIM card.
After that, he looked over everyone present one by one.
His gaze finally landed on Jiang Xu, “I’ve lost fair and square, I hope you keep your promise, or as a ghost, I won’t let you off!”
With that said, he leapt out of the window.
An Nuonuo was so frightened that she hurriedly threw herself into Jiang Xu’s arms, shivering continuously.
Jiang Xu gently patted her back to soothe her.
After a while, having calmed An Nuonuo down, he walked to the window edge and looked outside.
Thankfully, the old guy didn’t hit any pedestrians, which would have been a sin.
This matter had been settled satisfactorily.
Jiang Xu bid farewell to Liu Yun and the others, then left with An Nuonuo. Her mood was very low, with fear still lingering in her eyes.
