Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Make Them Pay a Heavy Price

"He’s started to strike back, and he’s doing it quickly and effectively."

The man in the corner asked, "What’s your next move?"

"Keep pushing him, drive the price up to the highest point; if both sides end up in battle, all the better."

"What if he gives up?"

"He won’t. This deal, he’s determined to win it. With this trade, he can establish his status in North America. His ambition is not small; what he wants is a bigger dominion."

"But if the price is too high, he won’t agree to the trade."

"That’s why he’ll take action. Only by eliminating the opponent can he get what he wants."

"The pace of your actions this time is a bit slow, not like your usual style," the man in the corner suddenly said.

The man by the window narrowed his eyes, a cold chill flashing within, "Because I cannot afford to lose, I have to act cautiously. And you, you must help me with all your might. This time, I will make them pay a painful price! I want Xuanyuan Bing to watch helplessly from hell as I destroy, one by one, all the people she cares about!"

His hatred was so intense that the entire room’s temperature seemed to drop, the atmosphere heavy and suffocating.

"Click—" The man in the corner turned on the light, and the brightness illuminated his face—a face that bore a resemblance to Rong Shaoze, twisted and ghastly with hatred.

"Mingyan, you’re getting too agitated," Qiao Yiyang spoke calmly.

Rong Mingyan turned, slowly regaining control of his emotions, returning to that composed and restrained man.

"Yiyang, you have to help me," he said, his gaze deep and knowing.

Qiao Yiyang nodded, a hint of a smile appearing, "Of course, we’re brothers; if I don’t help you, who will I help?"

"With your help, taking down Rong Shaoze will be much easier," Rong Mingyan revealed a cold smile, a gleam flashing in his eyes that signalled the imminent fulfillment of his wishes.

Lin Xinlan was surprised to receive a message from Qiao Yiyang.

He had invited her out to dinner, specifying the time and place.

Lin Xinlan didn’t want to go; call her heartless, but she didn’t want to have any connections with them anymore.

She replied to the message, declining his offer, but Qiao Yiyang texted her again.

This time his message carried a more pleading tone, saying it’s been a while since he’d had dinner with someone, that he just wanted to talk, hoping she would agree.

Lin Xinlan frowned slightly. Could it be that the company’s closure had struck him hard after all?

Of course, anyone would feel bad if their company went under.

Considering the occasional help he had extended to her, she hesitated.

Whether it was he and Rong Mingyan who had conspired against Rong Shaoze and her, she did not know, nor could she ascertain the truth.

But one thing was certain: Qiao Yiyang’s concern for her was real.

For the sake of his concern, Lin Xinlan agreed to meet with him. After all, she couldn’t disregard anyone’s kindness.

Without telling Rong Shaoze where she was going, she went to the restaurant Qiao Yiyang had mentioned while he wasn’t at home.

It was a high-end Chinese restaurant.

As she pushed open the door of the private room, she saw Qiao Yiyang already seated, smoking a cigarette, looking somewhat melancholy.

Upon her entrance, he crushed the cigarette into the ashtray, stood up, and greeted her with a warm smile, "You’ve arrived."

"Mm," Lin Xinlan nodded slightly, unsure what to say at the moment.

With doubt in her heart, she could no longer interact with him with ease.
