Chapter 711: Chapter 708: Kneel Down and Beg Me

With Sun Hai’s capabilities, an assured university placement was no big deal; after all, money talks. However, this was all under the condition that Lin Tian wouldn’t interfere.

What puzzled Lin Tian was that with the wealth Sun Hai possessed, sending his son abroad for further studies wouldn’t be an issue at all. So why didn’t Sun Hai send him? Yet, this seemingly casual remark from Lin Tian had greatly provoked Sun Decai.

"You don’t need to know the reason, and besides, I’ve said it’s just a transaction; I’m not begging you!" Sun Decai said, suppressing his anger.

A person he once looked down on was speaking to him in this tone. How could he not be angry? Yet, he knew times were different. ignoring wealth and status, simply put, he couldn’t win in a fight, so he had to endure.

Moreover, he understood that with Lin Tian’s capabilities today, unless Lin Tian agreed, it was impossible for him to regain the assured placement opportunity.

"Since it’s a transaction, what’s your bargaining chip?" Lin Tian said indifferently, not caring about his anger.

"As long as you agree not to mess up my plans, you can name your price." Sun Decai boasted, with money being his forte.

Seeing his smug look, Lin Tian couldn’t help but scoff, extending one finger.

"A hundred thousand? I can transfer it to you right now." Sun Decai said briskly, secretly despising Lin Tian. A poor wretch, even after a few exposures to the world, still had the mindset of a poor wretch; a mere hundred thousand satisfied him.

Lin Tian didn’t speak, just kept his finger extended, and shook it.

"One million?" Sun Decai furrowed his brow slightly and said, "An assured university placement, and you don’t even have to lift a finger, just remain silent, and you want to extort one million from me!"

"No, you misunderstood; think it over and give me a satisfactory answer." Lin Tian blew on his finger, saying relaxedly.

Sun Decai’s brow furrowed deeper, and he snorted, "Ha, you want ten million, one hundred million, huh!"

"None of those; I’m talking about ten billion." Lin Tian said somewhat playfully.

"You..." Sun Decai faltered, grinding his teeth and saying, "Ten billion! You’ve got some nerve asking that; with ten billion I could buy the president of Jinghua University. Say something realistic, don’t ask for the moon."

"Something realistic? Okay, I don’t need your money." Lin Tian continued before Sun Decai could get his hopes up: "Just kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I’ll agree not to interfere."

"You... you’ve been playing me from the start!" Sun Decai realized and was immediately filled with immense fury.

"Exactly, I have been playing you; what can you do to me? In my eyes, you’re less than a dog; back then, wasn’t this what you said to me? I’m just returning the favor." Lin Tian said coldly.

"You... you..." Sun Decai was so furious he was at a loss for words, his fists clenching and unclenching several times, yet he couldn’t muster the courage to fight Lin Tian.

"It’s not entirely playing; kneel and beg me, and I’ll agree to your deal. How about that condition? No need to pay any money; a very beneficial deal indeed." Lin Tian purposely said.

"You... you..." Sun Decai’s face turned from white to red, from red to black, nearly exploding with rage, and his lips began to quiver, fumbling his words.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The ring of a cell phone broke the silence; Lin Tian thought it was his, but Sun Decai pulled out his phone and answered the call. He listened for a moment then approached Lin Tian, actually handing the phone to him.

Lin Tian took the phone in confusion and brought it to his ear, greeting with a "Hello?"

"Mr. Lin, hello, this is Sun Hai." Sun Hai’s voice came from the phone.

"Boss Sun, what can I do for you?" Lin Tian asked.

"We are both straightforward people, so let’s just cut to the chase. I asked Decai to find you today, but knowing his temperament, he’s likely to mess things up." Sun Hai admitted.

"No, Sun’s temper is very good; he hasn’t cursed, nor has he resorted to violence." Lin Tian replied with a laugh.

"Let’s be direct, Mr. Lin, What would it take for you to keep silent?" Sun Hai asked essentially the same question as Sun Decai.

"My terms are simple; either you give me ten billion, or Sun Decai kneels and kowtows to me." Lin Tian’s demand could not have been simpler.

Sun Hai, being old and cunning, didn’t get angry like Sun Decai but said, "You know ten billion is impossible; isn’t kneeling a bit too much? A man’s knees are as precious as gold; how can you let him hold his head high after kneeling?"

"Too much? Hahaha..." Lin Tian laughed loudly, then said coldly: "Was what your son did to me back then not too much? Today, anyone can say I’m asking too much, but neither you nor your son has the right to!"

"Ten billion or kneel, it’s your choice; I’m only giving you ten seconds to decide." Lin Tian said mercilessly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone; Lin Tian no longer paid attention to Sun Decai’s distressed face, waiting for Sun Hai’s response.

"The ten seconds are up, your silence is taking it as you giving up the negotiation. That’s it then." Lin Tian said indifferently, about to hang up the phone.

"Wait..." Sun Hai suddenly spoke up, stopping him.

"Has Boss Sun changed his mind?" Lin Tian asked coolly.

"Ten billion and kneeling are both impossible; let’s discuss another deal." Sun Hai said, surprising Lin Tian.

"Are you and your son in a rush to give me money today? Speak, what’s the deal?" Lin Tian laughed, sensing that this new deal was actually Sun Hai’s reason for calling. The first deal wasn’t the focal point.

"I know Cui Haolong was killed by you." Sun Hai suddenly said, out of the blue, without any warning.

But such tricks would hardly ruffle Lin Tian, who laughed, "If the moon disappears one day, you could also claim I accidentally blew it up while snapping my fingers."

"I left something with Cui Haolong, did you perhaps find it?" Sun Hai asked, continuing noncommittally.

Sun Hai had left something with Cui Haolong? Could it be... that USB drive? Lin Tian instinctively thought of the sophisticated encrypted USB, as he and Rossi had searched the entire villa that day and found nothing else noteworthy.

Still, he bluffed: "Are you talking about the Taekwondo gym? Then I’m sorry, it’s mine now."

"Not the gym, a USB drive, an encrypted USB drive," Sun Hai said, getting straight to the point.

"A USB drive? Does it contain some kind of secret?" Lin Tian probed.

He had already given that USB drive to Liu Wenxing for decryption, but there was still no news. Unexpectedly, Sun Hai was now inquiring about it, sparking Lin Tian’s curiosity. It seemed Sun Hai was more than just a shareholder in Xiao Group.
