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

Chapter 630

Lin Ling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Cheng Yong said... he wants 20 billion now."

"Two hundred billion?"

Shi Gandang gasped, "Why doesn't he just rob it!"

“Mr. Shi, I also think this number is outrageous. But Cheng Yong said this is his bottom line. If he doesn't get the money, he will…”

Lin Ling pretended to hesitate before speaking.

"What will happen to him?"

Shi Gandang's heart jumped into his throat.

“He will cut off one of your brother’s fingers every day until all ten fingers are cut off.”

"You bastard! That beast!"

Shi Gandang was so angry that he trembled all over and slammed his fist on the coffee table.

The teacups on the coffee table were jolted and jumped up, spilling tea all over the floor.

"Lin Ling, tell me the hell what I'm supposed to do now?"

Shi Gandang's voice was so hoarse that it was unrecognizable.

"Mr. Shi, the only way now is to raise 20 billion as soon as possible and hand it over to Cheng Yong."

"Two hundred billion...two hundred billion..."

Shi Gandang muttered to himself.

In just a few days, it went from 10 billion to 20 billion. It's a bottomless pit!

Even if the Shi family is large and powerful, it cannot withstand such turmoil.

"Lin Ling, can you... can you help me think of another way? Don't you know a lot of important people in Myanmar? Can you... can you get them to talk to Cheng Yong?"

Lin Ling spoke calmly again: "President Shi, I admit that I do know some people in Myanmar. However, compared to Cheng Yong, these people are not worth mentioning at all."

"Cheng Yong is one of the biggest warlords in northern Myanmar. He has guns and cannons. Who would dare to go against him?"

"Is...is there really no other way?"

Shi Gandang was almost in despair.

Lin Ling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Mr. Shi, it's not entirely without a solution. It's just..."

"Just what? Tell me!"

Shi Gandang, as if grasping at the last straw, asked anxiously.

"However... this method might cost you even more."

"A greater price? I'm willing to pay anything to save my brother!"

Shi Gandang said without hesitation.

"Mr. Shi, please calm down."

Lin Ling reassured him, "What I mean is, you can ask your friends for help. They have connections everywhere; maybe they can help."

Shi Gandang's eyes narrowed slightly; he understood Lin Ling's meaning.

"Lin Ling, are you threatening me?"

"Mr. Shi, I'm not threatening you. I'm just offering you a suggestion."

Lin Ling said calmly, "Now, the only one who can save your brother is yourself."

Shi Gandang fell silent; Lin Ling was telling the truth.

If he uses those connections, there might actually be hope of rescuing Shi Ganxian.

But in doing so, the network of relationships he had painstakingly cultivated over the years would be completely exposed to the light of day.

The shady dealings Shi Ganxian has done in Myanmar over the years will also be exposed.

"Lin Ling, you fucking schemer!"

Shi Gandang gritted his teeth and said, "You're driving me to the brink of despair!"

"Mr. Shi, I'm just trying to help you. As for the choice, it's entirely up to you."

"I'm just a middleman. All I can do is pass on information between the two parties. How you talk is your business."

Shi Gandang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Now is not the time to turn against Lin Ling; he still needs Lin Ling to help him communicate with Cheng Yong.

"Lin Ling, listen to me carefully. I don't care what method you use, you must keep Cheng Yong calm and prevent him from hurting my brother again!"

"As for the money, I'll figure something out."

"Mr. Shi, don't worry, I will do my best."

Lin Ling smiled and said, "However, I also want to remind you that Cheng Yong is a fickle person, so you'd better make a decision as soon as possible."

"Lin Ling, shut the hell up with your nonsense!"

Shi Gandang erupted again, even more violently than before.

"You took 10 billion from me! 10 billion! And what did you get? My brother lost a finger! And now you're telling me Cheng Yong is fickle? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
