Chapter 767: Chapter 764: Not Agreeing?

Xiao Manxuan’s silence had a different reason from theirs. She felt a surge of inexplicable joy when she heard Lin Tian decided to invest in Xiao Group, as it seemed he would never leave the Xiao family.

A smile inadvertently appeared on her lips, but it quickly vanished, fearing her older sister might notice her secret thoughts.

"Miss?" Lin Tian approached Miss and called out.

Miss’s reaction was a bit strange just now; she first paused, then smiled inexplicably, and afterward, she seemed lost in thought, as if caught in some fantasy.

Lin Tian’s call brought her back to reality. She noticed Lin Tian was very close, curiously looking at her. Miss’s cheeks turned red, and she instinctively stepped back to increase the distance between them.

Lin Tian took a deep breath; as he got closer to Miss, he had smelled her light virgin fragrance, which was somewhat enticing.

This reminded him of the softness and sweetness of Miss’s lips, stirring some restless desires in him.

"Talk about your plan," Miss said, her voice cold again as if she were hiding her own little thoughts.

"The plan is like this..." Lin Tian pulled his attention away from Miss’s lips, summarized, "I’ll exchange my shares in the pharmaceutical plant along with this batch of medicinal herbs and gold for ten percent of the shares in Xiao Group. Xiao family will relinquish five percent, and Sun Hai will relinquish five percent, making it exactly ten percent."

"After the transaction is successful, I will own ten percent of the Xiao Group’s shares, becoming the second-largest shareholder, while Sun Hai drops to the third, thereby diluting the shareholding as intended," Lin Tian concluded.

"Ten percent?" Miss murmured softly, her gaze sweeping over the gold, jewelry, and medicinal herbs, as if estimating their value.

As a matter of fact, there was no need for her calculation—Lin Tian already knew it well. The value of these materials would only be higher in the future, never lower.

Moreover, once the final product of the prescription is marketed, the value of these medicinal herbs would be even more apparent. If Huaxia Pharmaceutical Company knew about this batch of herbs, they would definitely spend a lot of money to buy them. Even though Huaxia Pharmaceutical currently has a partnership with Xiao Group, they would not hesitate in procuring the herbs.

"Miss, if I also include the research data on cultivating medicinal herbs from the Shrine, do you think it’s worth ten percent?" Lin Tian added fuel to the fire.

He had emptied the Shrine’s greenhouse, and naturally took all the cultivation data with him. If Xiao Group’s greenhouse could get their hands on this information, it would save them a lot of detours in their cultivation research.

Because rare medicinal plants are demanding to grow, extensive research and trials are needed to cultivate them in large quantities. The time cost and cost in manpower and resources are substantial.

Therefore, hearing Lin Tian’s words, Miss was truly moved.

"I agree, but how will you make Sun Hai relinquish five percent of the shares? If he is stubborn, you won’t be able to do anything about him," Miss agreed, yet she raised a question at the same time.

"Normally, I couldn’t force him, but now, it’s not up to him. I will make him listen obediently. Hold a shareholder meeting tomorrow, and propose this at the meeting. Sun Hai will not oppose," Lin Tian said with full confidence.

"Alright, you always manage to surprise with your actions," Miss commented.

If it had been the Lin Tian she first met, she wouldn’t have trusted him, but after everything they had been through, she now considered him reliable.

"Things have finally settled down. You haven’t had a rest since you got off the plane tonight; let’s head back," Lin Tian said with a sigh of relief, smiling.

He always found these mental challenges troublesome, but sometimes, they were unavoidable.

Having been busy all night and handling two major issues, everyone had experienced quite a shock. As they relaxed, even the Miss felt a bit weary.

Before leaving the special security service, Lin Tian turned to ask Ghost, "Ghost, don’t you feel lonely guarding the base alone? Do you want to find a woman to keep you company?"

Ghost responded coolly, "Women are too troublesome, I’d rather go on a mission."

This statement almost made Xiao Manxuan, the little girl, explode in anger, but thankfully, Lin Tian quickly held her back. It wasn’t that he was afraid she couldn’t handle it, but rather he was worried that if the little girl lost her temper, she would let Little Zi out to mess with Ghost.

Although Ghost was a cultivator of ancient yoga, he might not be able to handle Little Zi.

On the way back, the Miss suddenly asked, "Was Ghost the sniper who attacked us before?"

"Yes, but back then he owed Bai Zhengchu a favor. He attacked us just to repay that favor, not really to work for Bai Zhengchu. Later, he attacked me again but still couldn’t beat me, and then he started following me," Lin Tian briefly described the process of subduing Ghost. The Miss just nodded and didn’t ask further.

Lin Tian drove Liu Wenxing back to school first. By this hour, the school gate was already closed, but Lin Tian easily managed to get him back to the dormitory.

When he returned to the car, Xiao Manxuan had already fallen asleep. The little girl was indeed exhausted after tonight’s events.

Upon returning to Xiao Mansion, the Miss carried Xiao Manxuan upstairs, while Lin Tian also went back to his room and then took out his phone to make a call.

"It’s me," Lin Tian said simply, and the person he was calling was Sun Hai.

"You are... Lin Tian!" Sun Hai’s voice was obviously surprised, not expecting Lin Tian to call him so soon.

"Did you find the USB?" Sun Hai’s second sentence was about the USB, as in his view, Lin Tian calling so late could only be about the deal they had discussed last time, and nothing else.

"Yes, I found the USB at the Haolong Taekwondo Club, just as you described. It should be the USB you need," Lin Tian bluffed, knowing well that Sun Hai had no idea how the USB was obtained.

Sun Hai was silent for more than ten seconds, seemingly trying to calm his excitement, then finally said, "Mr. Lin is indeed efficient. Just hand over the USB to me, and the money will be transferred to your account immediately."

"Boss Sun, don’t rush. I have another matter to discuss with you," Lin Tian said unhurriedly.

While Lin Tian was not in a hurry, Sun Hai became anxious. He tried to slow down his tone and asked, "Mr. Lin, what else do you require?"

"I plan to invest in Xiao Group, acquiring ten percent of its shares," Lin Tian stated plainly.

"You want me to sell my ten percent of the shares? Impossible. I can agree to other terms, but not this one!" Sun Hai declared definitively, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Boss Sun misunderstands. Out of that ten percent, you would give up five percent, and Xiao Family would give up five percent. I wouldn’t be so unreasonable," Lin Tian said lightly.

Sun Hai was silent for a while before he hesitantly said, "Give me ten minutes to think."

After saying that, he hung up Lin Tian’s call but immediately dialed another number.
