After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 599

Although he was prepared to be ripped off by Lin Ling, he never expected Lin Ling to ask for such an exorbitant price!

Ten billion? That's outrageous!

You should know that Cheng Yong's initial ransom was only 3 billion!

Lin Ling is asking for 10 billion right off the bat, even more ruthless than Cheng Yong!

"President Lin, this...this is too much! That guy Cheng Yong only wants three billion..."

"Three billion?"

Lin Ling sneered, "Patriarch Shi, you're still too naive. Do you really think Cheng Yong only wants 3 billion?"

"Let me tell you, people like Cheng Yong are insatiable. They will manipulate you step by step until they drain you dry!"

"If you give him 3 billion today, he'll ask for 5 billion tomorrow, and 10 billion the day after!"

"Believe it or not, he'll eventually get at least 20 billion from you!"

"The Shi family is so powerful and wealthy, they're bound to be targeted by him!"

"You won't see your brother again until we've squeezed your Shi family dry."

Lin Ling's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Shi Gandang's head.

Although he was unwilling to believe Lin Ling's words, he had to admit that Lin Ling's words made a lot of sense.

Cheng Yong is indeed a greedy and wicked villain. He kidnapped Shi Ganxian, so he certainly won't let the Shi family off easily.

I'm afraid that all the money will be spent, and the person will still be killed.

Those warlords in Myanmar have absolutely no credibility.

"President Lin... this 8 billion is for bribing officials, so... what about the other 2 billion..."

Shi Gandang asked cautiously, knowing that the two billion was probably a kickback for Lin Ling, but he still wanted to confirm it.

"Master Shi, it's good that you understand."

Lin Ling said calmly.

“I, Lin Ling, have always been fair in my dealings. Of this 10 billion, 8 billion is for bribing various relationships. This is money that must be spent, and not a penny can be less.”

"The remaining two billion is what I deserve. After all, I took such a big risk to help you, I can't just do it for nothing, can I?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin is right."

Shi Gandang quickly agreed, but his heart was bleeding.

Two billion!

How could he be willing to give it to Lin Ling for nothing?

Now his younger brother's life is in Lin Ling's hands, and he can only let Lin Ling do as he pleases.

"President Lin, could you reduce the amount by a little?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Ling retorted, "Isn't the life of the Shi family head's younger brother worth 10 billion?"

"No, Mr. Lin, that's not what I meant."

Shi Gandang quickly waved his hand.

"I just wanted to say that 10 billion isn't something I can come up with all at once..."

"That's your problem. I'm only responsible for saving people. As for the money, you'll have to figure that out yourself. How much time do you think Cheng Yong will give you?"

Lin Ling said coldly.

"I'm already being very lenient with you. If you keep nagging, I'm not going to care anymore!"

"No, Mr. Lin, I promise you!"

Shi Gandang quickly replied, "I will definitely find a way to raise the money as soon as possible!"

"Alright, it's settled then. Patriarch Shi, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you..."

Shi Gandang forced a smile.

The two shook hands, appearing amicable on the surface, but both were harboring their own calculations.

Just then, Black Wolf came in and whispered a few words to Lin Ling.

Lin Ling's heart skipped a beat.

Su Qingyan and the Lin family were actually waiting for him downstairs.

And they didn't all come in one batch.

They keep saying they're going to give him benefits? Let's go down and see what kind of tricks they're up to.

Thinking of this, Lin Ling smiled again: "Mr. Shi is a distinguished guest, let me see you downstairs!"

"I can't accept that, Mr. Lin, you're too kind."

Shi Gandang saw Lin Ling's enthusiastic smile, but in his eyes, he was simply a smiling tiger.

"Ten billion... He actually dared to ask for ten billion!"

Shi Gandang was internally ranting and raving.

"Lin Ling, that vampire! He's even more ruthless than Cheng Yong!"

"Eight billion for bribing connections? Two billion for kickbacks? That's utter bullshit!"

"Ten billion...ten billion..."

Shi Gandang felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. He muttered to himself, feeling a pang of heartache.
