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

Chapter 627

An unnamed anger instantly flared up in Cheng Fa's heart.

He immediately texted Xu Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, could you please stop wearing such short skirts in the future? I don't want others to see how beautiful you are."

After receiving the message, Xu Miaomiao sneered inwardly.

This fool, does he really think he's his own possession?

If it weren't for completing Lin Ling's mission, she wouldn't have bothered with Cheng Fa at all.

However, in order not to arouse Cheng Fa's suspicion, Xu Miaomiao still pretended to reply, "Okay, okay, I know, I'll listen to you from now on."

Cheng Fa then put down his phone with satisfaction and continued to immerse himself in his fantasy.

Lin Ling stared at the message Xu Miaomiao had sent on her phone screen, her face expressionless.

He casually saved the videos and photos, then opened the chat window with Cheng Yong.

I forwarded the video I had just saved directly to Cheng Yong.

"Mr. Cheng, please take a look at your son's recent situation."

After the message was successfully sent, Lin Ling leaned back in her chair, waiting for Cheng Yong's reply.

Not long after, Cheng Yong called.

Lin Ling pressed the answer button, and Cheng Yong's hearty laughter immediately came through the phone.

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much! This kid seems to be doing pretty well."

He originally thought Lin Ling was just using his son, but he didn't expect Lin Ling to actually care about Cheng Fa.

Fortunately, Lin Ling was there; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do anything in China, and that silly son would never have gotten his goddess.

In that sense, he did indeed owe Lin Ling a favor.

"Mr. Cheng, you're too kind. It's what I should do," Lin Ling said calmly.

"President Lin, regarding the matter I mentioned to you before, the Shi family has yet to respond."

Cheng Yong's voice became somewhat low.

"I offered 3 billion, but they remained unmoved."

"I have already sent people to contact the Shi family as you suggested, but they have been vague and have not given a clear answer."

Cheng Yong continued, "It seems that Shi Gandang is planning to abandon his brother. The internal struggles within their family are more brutal than imagined."

Cheng Yong said a lot in one breath, because he really wanted to know what Lin Ling was planning to do.

Lin Ling listened to Cheng Yong's words and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, it's normal that the Shi family isn't in a hurry to reply."

Lin Ling replied calmly.

“I’ll cover the three billion.”

"Oh?" Cheng Yong was somewhat surprised. "President Lin, what's this...?"

"Mr. Cheng, you just need to do as I say, and you don't need to ask any other questions."

Lin Ling interrupted Cheng Yong.

"After it's done, you'll not only get 3 billion, but you'll get even more."

Cheng Yong remained silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean. You want me to cooperate with you, act as a middleman, and profit from the price difference."

Cheng Yong said slowly, "However, I don't care about any of that. As long as I can get that 3 billion, nothing else matters."

"Mr. Cheng is indeed a straightforward person."

Lin Ling smiled and said, "Then it's settled. I'll have someone contact you about the specifics."

"Since the Shi family isn't sincere, let's teach them a lesson. First, cut off one of Shi Ganxian's fingers and send it to Shi Gandang. Tell him it's interest."

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Yong paused for a moment, then grinned.

"President Lin, that's a ruthless move! Okay, I understand."

"Remember, be clean and efficient."

Lin Ling added casually, then hung up the phone.

On the other side, Cheng Yong put down his phone, a ferocious smile appearing on his rugged face.

He turned around and strode toward the room where Shi Ganxian was imprisoned.

The dimly lit room was filled with a damp and musty smell that was nauseating.

Shi Ganxian was tied to a dilapidated chair with his hands behind his back, and his body was covered with wounds.

He lowered his head, his disheveled hair obscuring his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

Cheng Yong walked up to Shi Ganxian, squatted down, and used his rough hands to pinch Shi Ganxian's chin, forcing him to raise his head.

"Brother Shi, it seems your brother doesn't care about your life or death at all, and is determined to abandon you."

Cheng Yong grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Three billion is just a drop in the ocean for him, but he just won't take it out. Do you think he doesn't consider you a brother at all?"
