Chapter 807: If You’re Not Afraid I’ll Destroy Your Lair, Then Just Come
Nangong Tiancheng made it very clear, his implication was that his son was not going to marry her daughter. Just send his son back and that would be enough.
We are wealthy, and we don’t want to make a big fuss with you. We can do without your profit, you should be content with that.
But the drug lord was no pushover either, and he laughed heartily, "Look at what big brother is saying, business is business, and favors are favors. Since big brother and sister-in-law are already at our doorstep, how can they not come in?"
Once they entered his territory, wouldn’t they be at his mercy?
Besides, it was not yet certain whether Nangong Jin was really in his hands. What if he was just bluffing them?
By then, if Nangong Jin had escaped, they would be the ones caught in his grip.
In Miaojiang, the homes of drug lords were typically heavily guarded and fortified, easy to defend but hard to attack, which is why Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui would not be foolish enough to enter his house.
Also, even though they did not bring many people, they had their own influence. They could just promise other drug lords, or even officials, a batch of arms, and they would do their bidding.
So they were not afraid.
But they would never go into the drug lord’s house, otherwise, things would really become difficult.
Li Hui smiled, but her expression turned serious, "Let’s not beat around the bush. In practical terms, how can you let go of my son?"
"This..." The drug lord’s face also turned serious, "To talk about letting go, that really hurts our feelings, sister-in-law. I never had any thoughts of harming young master Jin. It’s just that my daughter is quite fond of him. I think young master Jin is also of age. My daughter doesn’t mind if young master Jin marries another woman. Besides, look at her figure, she’s definitely good for childbearing.
We in the underworld do business fraught with danger, and it is good to have many children."
What he said was indeed true. Those in the underworld were always gambling with their lives. They could lose them any day, so it really was good to have more children.
But damn it, who buys and sells by force?
Li Hui spoke discontentedly, "It’s useless to talk about this with us. My son has to like your daughter for it to work. It seems to me my son doesn’t like your girl. Why must we make things unpleasant over the children?"
With a bitter face, the drug lord watched as the girl started crying loudly, making incessant and relentless fuss, making Li Hui’s head feel like it was about to explode.
Nangong Tiancheng frowned with displeasure and finally said, "Your fussing is useless. My son won’t marry you anyway. If you keep making trouble, we’ll just have to apologize."
Just as Nangong Tiancheng was about to make a call, the drug lord’s men suddenly raised their guns at Li Hui and Nangong Tiancheng.
Li Hui smiled disdainfully, "Playing this game with us? Do you think we’re so stupid to come here with just a few people to play with you? We in this business risk our lives, don’t we? You want to play? Fine, I’m game, but don’t think I’m afraid of wiping out your base if it comes to that."
Li Hui spoke without a trace of fear, steady, serene, and disdainful, as if she had been through such situations many times and was fearless.
Moreover, her composure and serenity made it impossible not to believe that she had everything planned, and the Nangong Family had the power to back it up.
The drug lord smiled and gestured for his men to lower their guns, as he too was a cunning strategist.
After quick deliberation, he spoke, "When it comes to the children, we adults really shouldn’t meddle. However, my daughter has been spoiled all her life, her mother passed away early, and it’s been tough finding a man she fancies..."
