Chapter 486: Applying Pressure
After Lin Tian and Wu Yong exchanged a few words, they began to wander around the villa, always keeping his perspective open, scanning for any potentially dangerous areas inside the villa.
He checked very carefully, afraid that there might be other omissions in the villa.
After investigating back and forth twice, except for his own room, there was nothing unusual anywhere else. Lin Tian finally relaxed his tense heart.
He also checked the light switches, tables, chairs, and coffee table, not even seeing a single foreign fingerprint.
A thought popped into Lin Tian’s mind, it seemed the villa needed surveillance installed, otherwise, if an outsider came, they wouldn’t even know who it was.
After the incident just now, all the good mood Lin Tian had after being discharged from the hospital was gone, replaced by a wave of anger, evident on his face.
Liou Qingcheng was also visibly frightened, only casually ate lunch, and then went to rest in the room.
Lin Tian and Wu Yong sat on the sofa, a variety show was playing on the TV, but neither of them was in the mood to watch it.
Lin Tian turned off the TV with one hand and said, "I’m afraid this matter should end here, their target is me. Now there must be someone guarding outside the villa, thinking I am dead after hearing the explosion, so we should be safe now."
Wu Yong looked at Lin Tian, puzzled, and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?"
"Who do you think did it?"
Wu Yong replied without hesitation, "I think it was the Wang Family. After we hid Wang Sicong, Du Dahai and the Wang Family people kept harassing us, and I almost lost my life several times. Besides the Wang Family, we don’t have any other major enemies now."
"It can’t be the Wang Family, can it? Didn’t they have a lot of weaknesses in our hands? How dare they be so arrogant?" Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.
"But the Bai Family also has dirt on them. As I know, the Wang Family has been constantly trying to find criminal evidence against the Bai Family. Fortunately, Miss Bai and Bai Tianlong have already prepared, so the Wang Family didn’t find much. But with the evidence they have now, even if it doesn’t ruin the Bai Family, it can still severely weaken them."
Wu Yong took a couple of gulps of water and continued, "Their actions are too abnormal, and the anomaly lies with Wang Sicong. Clearly just a rich playboy, doesn’t require the Wang Family to go to such lengths, right? This doesn’t fit the style of a big family."
Lin Tian’s eyes flickered with a bright light and he said, "Let’s meet this playboy, it seems this Mr. Wang has hidden quite a lot from me."
"That guy is in a basement right now, I’ll take you there later."
"No rush, you seemed to have something to tell me earlier. Now that Qingcheng isn’t here, go ahead."
"The day after tomorrow is the day of re-negotiation between the Bai Family and the Wang Family. Miss Bai wants you to accompany her."
Lin Tian thought for a while and then nodded in agreement, "No problem, even if she hadn’t asked, I would have gone. At that time, let’s bring that Wang Sicong kid along."
Speaking of which, Lin Tian paused, "Do you know what demands Shishi made during the last negotiation with the Wang Family?"
Wu Yong shook his head, "Not quite sure, but I heard the demands were a bit excessive, it seemed like they wanted a third of the Wang Family’s estate. Naturally, the Wang Family did not agree, so the talks fell apart."
Lin Tian sneered coldly and said, "They didn’t agree to a third? Then this time we’ll ask for less, just two-thirds!"
"Two-thirds isn’t much..." Wu Yong started to say but then suddenly reacted, staring wide-eyed like he was looking at a madman, asking Lin Tian, "Tian, are you crazy? Two-thirds? Do you know how much two-thirds of the Wang Family amounts to? That’s absolutely not something that can be measured with money! That’s their lifeblood, they would never agree to it."
The cold sneer on Lin Tian’s face turned into a radiant smile, as if he had already realized the idea of annexing the Wang Family. "Why not? Leaving them a third is better than them getting nothing and going to jail, isn’t it?"
"Pushing them this hard, they might just act desperately!"
"I’m not pushing them, they provoked me! Two consecutive murder attempts today, do they still think there will be a happy ending?" Lin Tian nearly gritted his teeth as he said this, with Spiritual Qi unconsciously emanating from him, making the surrounding air turn cold.
Wu Yong inadvertently shivered, feeling the air get colder.
Lin Tian took a deep breath, suppressing his killing intent, and said, "Wanting to take so much at once doesn’t mean I’m crazy, it’s because this negotiation is completely different from the last."
"How is it different?" Wu Yong turned his brain but still didn’t follow Lin Tian’s line of thought.
"Last time, although we had a lot of evidence, the Wang Family also held plenty, just not as damaging as ours. Moreover, the internet had an overwhelming amount of negative talk about the Bai Family, almost crushing them. So on the surface, the Bai Family seemed at a disadvantage. This was one of the reasons for the Wang Family’s arrogance."
Wu Yong nodded after thinking for a few seconds, "That does seem to be the case."
Lin Tian laughed, "But now it’s different. Du Dahai, the Wang Family’s most powerful minion, has been cut down by us. Now they are undoubtedly in a panic, starting to fear the evidence in Shishi’s hands. So if we apply some more pressure on them, what will happen?"
"What will happen?" Wu Yong asked blankly.
"Of course, it’s the last straw that breaks the camel’s back!"
"Tian, stop being so secretive, quickly tell me your plan." Wu Yong urged.
"We just need to use the same trick on them that they use on others. They’re going to expose the Wang Family’s inside stories? Then we expose them too! And the exposure has to be bigger and more shocking! Soon, public opinion will turn on the Wang Family, and once that happens, we go in for negotiations, ensuring a much higher chance of success!"
Wu Yong’s mind raced, considering the plan Lin Tian proposed. Indeed, by then when the Wang Family suffered the most severe blow, everything would become much easier. Even asking for two-thirds of the assets wouldn’t be impossible.
The more he thought, the more surprised Wu Yong became, marveling at why he hadn’t thought of such a good plan.
"Hehe, Tian, Miss Bai is sure to agree with your idea. You have no idea, she has been overwhelmed lately opposing the Wang Family. She’s been wanting to have you over to help."
Speaking of which, Wu Yong laughed slyly, nudged Lin Tian with his elbow and said, "Miss Bai seems to rely on you a lot, always asking about you when you’re not around. She even wants me to tie you directly to her side."
Lin Tian also laughed, being so concerned about by such a glamorous beauty was indeed something any man could take pride in.
