Upon hearing this, many people were immediately filled with envy, but it was also clear that President Shen was genuinely wary of the young man in front of him.

Everything else is fine, but President Shen actually wants to accompany this guy personally?

How does this work?

You have to understand, President Shen is the ultimate fantasy of every man in Hongsheng!

But since it was President Shen who spoke in person, even Shen Congwen didn't dare to say anything more, let alone them.

So even if someone was extremely jealous and angry, no one dared to utter a single word.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Ye scoffed, "I told you last time that I'm not interested in buses. Does President Shen really have a bad memory?"

Shen Zhilan smiled and remained silent, but those who knew her well knew that President Shen was now plotting murder.

One of the henchmen immediately strode forward and placed a knife directly against Xu Ye's neck.

Shen Congwen licked his lower lip and said, "I know what you're relying on. You think that even if you die here, the factory won't fall into the hands of Hongsheng, but will be inherited by your family."

"But have you ever thought about this? No matter how tough your bones are, can they be tougher than the knife at your neck?"

"If you know what's good for you, return that factory to us right now, and I'll give you a quick death."

"Otherwise, believe me, I guarantee you'll suffer a fate worse than death!"

After saying that, he was about to order his men to bleed Xu Ye a little, as a way of teaching him a lesson.

Before he could even speak, his vision blurred, and then a sharp pain shot through his shoulder blade.

Looking down, he realized that the knife that had been held to Xu Ye's neck had somehow ended up in Xu Ye's hand.

And in the blink of an eye, it pierced his shoulder blade.

Blood splattered.

Shen Congwen only realized what was happening now, and immediately opened his mouth, letting out an extremely shrill and tragic wail.

The noise finally alerted the others. Without any prompting, someone immediately stood in front of Shen Zhilan, while the others surrounded Xu Ye.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense and confrontational.

No one spoke immediately; only Shen Congwen's screams and furious roars of rage came from him.

"Kill him! Kill him!!"

Shen Zhilan pushed aside the underling blocking her way and said calmly, "Young Master Xu, I have to admit that I underestimated you, but if you want to use my brother to threaten me, then I can only say that you are thinking too much."

"I'll say it again: whether it's Hongsheng or Jiangxin Bridge, it's a matter of my whole family's lives. I can't risk my family's lives for my brother."

"so!"

"I can give you one last chance now. I'll give you those two plots of land in the North City Economic Zone that the Yang family owns. You just have to return the factory to me."

"Otherwise, even if you kill my brother today, I will make sure you never leave here."

Xu Ye smiled, raised his foot and kicked, sending Shen Congwen flying.

Not only Shen Zhilan, but everyone else was also stunned.

What does it mean?

You have to understand, Shen Congwen was his only trump card that could save his life, and he just threw it out like that?

Is he overconfident, or is he just courting death?

Xu Ye sneered disdainfully: "I've already said it, since I dared to go to this meeting alone, do you think I'd be afraid of your little tricks?"

"If it weren't to see what you're made of, you wouldn't even deserve to stand in front of me!"

"Alright, now I've seen your true colors and experienced your methods. To sum you up in two words, you've disappointed me greatly!"

"As for my attitude, it remains the same: be honest and hand over Hongsheng Real Estate, and I will spare your lives."

"Otherwise, you'll have to consider the consequences yourselves!"

After saying this, Xu Ye turned and left.

But given the current situation, how could Shen Zhilan possibly let him leave?

Without her even giving any instructions, Shen Congwen roared in anger.

"Still trying to get away? Kill him!"

Xu Ye only glanced back at Shen Congwen, but Shen Congwen's face changed color in fright: "President Shen, are you reluctant to let me go?"

Shen Zhilan said with a forced smile, "Yes, I said I wanted to spend some quality time with Young Master Xu today, so why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Xu Ye smiled: "I brought a gift for you in the bag I brought. Would you like to take a look, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Zhilan frowned and hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and gave a wink to one of her subordinates.

Without saying a word, the man turned around and went into the changing room next door, and took out Xu Ye's bag.

At Shen Zhilan's prompting, the man unzipped his jacket, and the others instinctively peeked out.

The next moment, everyone froze instantly, as if they were frozen in ice, their bodies chilled to the bone.

Inside the bag was a metal box with two wires extending from it and a timing device attached to the outside.

It was a very basic kind.

As the numbers tick, you can even hear a "tick-tick-tick" sound.

But even such a thing is easily recognizable to anyone at a glance.

The entire room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The constant ticking of numbers was so loud it sent chills down my spine!

Shen Zhilan considered herself to have seen a lot of things, but when had she ever seen anything like this?

Although he could maintain his composure on the surface, it was obvious that the hairs on his body were standing on end.

real or fake?

Impossible! This isn't abroad, it's Kyushu!

The person in front of me is clearly from a prominent family; how could he possibly produce something like this?

It was just to scare her, absolutely just to scare her!

But she dared not gamble; what if it was true?

The most crucial point is that the other party has always appeared so confident. What else can explain this except that the thing is real?

Damn it, this guy is a desperado?

Damn it, is he insane?!

She was terrified, and the others were even more so; they all felt their legs go weak.

Money is a good thing, but you need to be alive to spend it.

Everyone, including Shen Congwen, instinctively took a step back.

Once the momentum dissipates, it's difficult to regroup.

However, Shen Zhilan had held a high position for many years, and although her heart was in turmoil, she was not so easily frightened as to lose all her courage.

She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Young Master Xu, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"You think you can scare me with a broken metal box and a broken alarm clock?"

"I'll say it again: if I were that easily intimidated, I would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even a trace."

Xu Ye laughed: "Really? President Shen doesn't believe me? Then let's wait and see."

After saying that, he walked back to the hot spring and sat down without changing his expression.

Shen Zhilan stared intently at Xu Ye: "Young Master Xu, if you were an ordinary person, it would be one thing, but you're supposed to be from a prestigious family. How could you play this kind of game?"

"And to die together with someone like me? Do you really think I'd believe that?"

"A mighty dragon cannot cross the river."

Xu Ye let her look at him, a faint smile still playing on his lips: "My opponent is the Li family of the capital. If I don't even have this kind of determination, how can I fight against Li Jinyun?"
