Chapter 856: The Sudden Gunshot
"Judging by your expression, you still don’t know why, do you?" Lin Tian said with a smile, "I do."
The expressions of the four members of the Wang Family immediately changed, looking at Lin Tian with an inscrutable look.
"What do you know?"
"Not much, just that your Wang Family is going to be isolated. You will be isolated by all the families and the Alliance, like pitiable creatures struggling to survive in a crevice."
Before Wang Yi could speak, another old man from the Wang Family couldn’t hold back. He pointed at Lin Tian and cursed loudly, "Ignorant brat talking nonsense! Who do you think you are? You think you can control all the families and the Alliance?"
Lin Tian nodded as if it was a matter of course and said with a smile, "You guessed right, I really can control them. Because I have that qualification."
Wang Yi frowned, sincerely doubting what Lin Tian said. But for some reason, he still had a feeling of looming disaster in his heart.
Wang Yi’s smile gradually faded, "What qualifications do you have?"
"Do you remember that truckload of rare herbs I snatched from your Wang Family?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi’s face turned dark. Of course, he remembered! He was there at the scene!
"I have already given those herbs to the Yue Family, the Li Family, and the Tang Family, along with the corresponding elixir recipes. Of course, I require a share of all the refined elixirs. As for the Tan Family and the Alliance, I think they don’t want to associate with you because they know I have the recipes."
"Tch! A country bumpkin like you can have a thing like recipes? And cooperate with all the families? Hahaha, it makes me laugh."
Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, "Believe it or not, it doesn’t matter to me. You’ll find out soon enough."
"Whether this is true or false, as long as I kill you, it doesn’t matter at all," Wang Yi said as he raised his gun, aiming it at Lin Tian’s head.
"Don’t you want those elixir recipes?" Lin Tian asked.
Wang Yi did not lower his gun, "Would you give them to me?"
Lin Tian said, "Not for free. There are other conditions. First, put the gun down. Let’s go find a classy café, have some coffee, look at some beautiful women, and talk things over, how about that?"
Suddenly, Bai Yu shouted, "Mr. Wang! Don’t listen to him. I know this guy, he’s cunning! We should first get the equity, and then negotiate with him. Wouldn’t we have more leverage then?"
Wang Yi nodded and then smiled at Bai Yu, "Good idea, let’s do as you say."
"Lin Tian, isn’t this idea great? Hahaha..."
Lin Tian was so furious his teeth itched, having talked so long only to have it all ruined by a single sentence from Bai Yu.
Wang Yi walked to Bai Tianlong’s side and said with a smile, "You’ve heard our conversation. You might as well sign the contract, to spare us from having to trouble your daughter. If what Lin Tian says is true, I’ll tear up this contract in front of him, and we’ll pretend nothing ever happened, how about that?"
Bai Tianlong didn’t respond to him; instead, he looked up at Lin Tian, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Lin Tian now found himself at a loss, neither nodding nor shaking his head felt right.
"If you don’t sign it now, your daughter’s life will be forfeit!" This time, Wang Yi’s gun was aimed at Bai Shishi.
Bai Tianlong’s heart tightened involuntarily, and he shouted, "I’ll sign!"
Upon hearing these two words, Bai Yu nearly burst into laughter. She placed the already prepared contract and a pen in front of Bai Tianlong.
"Sign it."
Bai Yu was very pleased, simply because the contract was a share transfer agreement, encompassing all the Bai Family’s assets!
After tonight, the entire Bai Family would belong to her!
Bai Tianlong, Bai Shishi, all of them might as well go sweep the streets!
The ropes on Bai Tianlong were untied. Although he had some skills, he seemed too weak in front of Wang Yi and the others, especially with their guns.
Bai Tianlong took the pen and signed his name on the contract with a flourish, without the slightest delay or hesitation.
Bai Yu took the contract, looked at Bai Tianlong’s signature, and couldn’t help laughing.
"Now you can let her go, right?" Bai Shishi’s eyes scanned the room, filled with hatred.
"Alright, Bai Yu, let her go," Wang Yi waved at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu stood unmoving, "Just let her go like that?"
Bai Yu suddenly felt something strange in her heart; letting her go so easily wasn’t a good thing for her.
"I said let her go!" Wang Yi repeated, "Don’t forget why you’re here. Without us, would you be able to get these shares of the Bai Family?"
Bai Yu’s expression gradually turned from excitement to discomfort.
"You’re just using me as a puppet, aren’t you?" Bai Yu asked.
Wang Yi frowned and said displeasedly, "You only realize that now? If you’re unwilling, there are plenty in the Bai Family who are."
The shares were transferred to Bai Yu’s name simply because she was part of the Bai Family. Doing so would make it seem like an internal conflict within the Bai Family, without any connection to the Wang Family.
Once this period passed, transferring the shares to the Wang Family would surely not attract any attention.
"Fine, as you say, I’ll let him go."
Bai Yu said as she put down her gun, then kicked Bai Tianlong aside.
"Dad!" Bai Shishi shouted, running over to Bai Tianlong with tears in her eyes.
"There’s hemostatic ointment in the car, I’ll get it," Mei Ruyan said and hurriedly ran out, afraid Bai Tianlong would die here from excessive blood loss.
Wang Yi also put away his gun and said, "Let’s go, let’s talk about the elixir recipes. If you show some sincerity, tearing up this contract wouldn’t be impossible."
As a member of an ancient martial family, Wang Yi knew the importance of elixir recipes. If they were numerous, they couldn’t be compared to a single company.
"Let’s go," Lin Tian nodded grimly.
Today, the Wang Family’s disruption had completely thrown Lin Tian off balance. If he didn’t use some recipes to get the contract back, the loss would be too great!
"I’ll have someone clean up here later. I’ll give the Bai Family due compensation for everything that happened today," Wang Yi said.
Bai Shishi looked over with freezing eyes. Compensation? What happened today, unless it’s your life, there’s nothing that could compensate!
"Let’s go, the smell here isn’t very pleasant. Let’s find a nice place to talk, like you said."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud gunshot rang out!
