Chapter 768: Chapter 765: The Man Surnamed Li

The call connected quickly, and a man’s voice came from the phone, "Don’t you know what time it is? Why are you calling me so late?" The voice was very dissatisfied, clearly annoyed by Sun Hai’s call, making him very angry.

"Boss Li, I had no choice, it’s an emergency, I mainly need to discuss an urgent matter with you." Even though the other party was angry, Sun Hai didn’t dare to speak loudly, but instead was somewhat respectful.

"What is it, speak up." The man said coldly, sounding very impatient.

"Someone wants to invest in Xiao Group, acquiring ten percent of the shares, both I and the Xiao Family have to release five percent each." Sun Hai did not dare to ramble, he answered quickly and directly.

"I’ve told you, your task is to hold onto the ten percent of shares you have and wait for the opportunity to acquire more. My ultimate goal is to own one hundred percent of Xiao Group’s shares. Have you forgotten your mission? Do you even need to report such matters to me!" The man said very coldly.

Seemingly intimidated by the other’s authority, Sun Hai’s complexion immediately turned a bit ugly, and he hesitantly answered, "It’s Lin Tian who wants to invest in Xiao Group..."

"Lin Tian?" The man muttered to himself softly, seeming a bit surprised by the answer. After a long silence, he finally said, "How could Lin Tian have so much capital? Have you checked?"

"I’m not quite sure about that either, he suddenly called me, saying he wanted to invest in Xiao Group. From what I understand, although Lin Tian has made some money recently, it’s not enough to acquire ten percent of Xiao Group’s shares. I’m really puzzled about his source of funds," Sun Hai answered respectfully.

"Could it be that the Xiao Family gave it to him? They might want to buy back shares through Lin Tian’s hands. You should know they’ve always had that in mind," the man said indifferently.

Sun Hai pondered for a moment before cautiously responding, "That should not be the case, as a shareholder of Xiao Group, I’m quite clear about the Xiao Group’s available funds on paper."

"Available funds on paper? Ha..." The man laughed derisively and said, "You believe that? Do you know how many secret projects Xiao Group has done? You’re far behind the Xiao Family mother and daughter. The projects they’ve been doing right under your nose, you understand nothing about them, hmph."

Sun Hai’s face looked even more difficult, but he dared not retort and could only silently take the scolding.

The man seemed too lazy to lecture Sun Hai any further and said, "Since Lin Tian wants to invest, let him. Losing five percent of the shares for now is not a big deal. Perhaps his joining could even speed up the Elixir Recipe research."

"Really?" A flash of joy crossed Sun Hai’s face, unable to refrain from speaking out. However, he quickly controlled his emotions again.

"Sun Hai, are you hiding something from me? I remember the Xiao Family has an unwritten rule, not to move your shares under normal circumstances. You could’ve used this as an excuse to refuse Lin Tian, so why report to me, making an unnecessary move!" The man’s voice suddenly turned cold again, as if he was ready to question Sun Hai at any moment.

Sun Hai broke out in cold sweat down his back, nervously responding, "Mr. Li, no, I haven’t hidden anything from you." He didn’t dare to tell Mr. Li about the USB drive.

"That’s best. I warn you, once Lin Tian becomes a shareholder, you will be relegated to the third-largest shareholder. Behave more discreetly in the future, don’t give Lin Tian any leverage, or you won’t even be able to hold on to your last five percent. Also, control your son, make him restrain himself, don’t mess things up!" Mr. Li commanded coldly.

Sun Hai nodded vigorously, although the other party couldn’t see him, he was still very reverent, assuring, "I’ll discipline him properly, please rest assured, Mr. Li."

Dial tone...

The phone buzzed with a busy tone. Mr. Li was too lazy to even respond to him, having already hung up the phone. It was only after Sun Hai confirmed the call had indeed been disconnected that he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Sun Hai calmed his emotions before redialing a number—it was Lin Tian’s.

Lin Tian was reading a book, waiting for Sun Hai’s reply when his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Boss Sun, have you made up your mind? You give me the stock rights, I give you the money, plus your U-disk—it’s a worthwhile deal," Lin Tian said indifferently.

"Mr. Lin, I can agree to your demand, transferring five percent of the shares. Of course, that’s provided the Xiao Family agrees too. I can’t help you with that; you’ll need to persuade them on your own," Sun Hai said.

"Don’t worry about the Xiao Family; I have my ways. Just agree to it," Lin Tian said with a smile, thinking that the Xiao Family had already been taken care of and there was no need for Sun Hai to babble on.

"There’s one more condition: I must confirm that no one has tampered with the content of the U-disk before I proceed with the deal," Sun Hai added lastly.

"No problem, verify it however you want," Lin Tian responded nonchalantly. Nuwa hadn’t touched the U-disk’s firewall; it was a feigned self-destruction program that directly copied the content.

Moreover, with Nuwa and Liu Wenxing’s skills, after copying the content, of course, they could erase any trace of the U-disk having been accessed, undetectable by anyone. Don’t forget, they had the support of a supercomputer.

"Then, when shall we complete the transaction? How about we meet somewhere right now? Let’s go to your Night Rose Bar, what do you say?" Sun Hai said somewhat eagerly. Regarding the U-disk, he believed the sooner he got his hands on it, the safer he’d be.

If the contents of the U-disk were exposed, never mind whether the police would arrest him or not, the people on that list would be after his life first and foremost.

"That works. Since Boss Sun is in such a hurry, I’m more than happy to oblige. I can’t let you have a sleepless night, can I?" Lin Tian said with a deep sense of understanding.

As for whether Sun Hai believed that he was genuinely understanding, Lin Tian couldn’t care less. Sun Hai was an old fox; there was no need to tell the truth to an old fox.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian changed into casual clothes since wearing a school uniform to the bar was not appropriate.

As he reached the first floor of the hall, Lin Tian saw the kitchen lights were on. Thinking that Miss was making a late-night snack because she was hungry, he tiptoed over for a look and saw that it was indeed a beauty busily working, but it wasn’t Miss—it was Kikuchi Mika.

Since bringing her back, Lin Tian had been busy with his own affairs and had neglected to care about how she was doing, whether she was adjusting well; he felt somewhat guilty. After all, she was a girl, alone and unsupported, who had come all the way to Huaxia—she really needed someone to look after her.

"Lady Kikuchi, what are you doing?" Lin Tian asked, thinking she hadn’t eaten enough and came to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"Brother Lin, aren’t you about to take the college entrance examination? I was worried about you getting hungry after studying late, so I made some millet porridge for you. You can eat it when you’re hungry," Kikuchi Mika said.

"Brother Lin, you’re a man, how can you enter the kitchen? Kitchen work should be done by women. You go ahead with your matters," Kikuchi Mika said, and then she really started pushing Lin Tian out of the kitchen.

Sigh, what could he say? Lin Tian let out a sign of exasperation. In Huaxia, some women would do anything to have men treat them like an empress every day. Ask them to enter the kitchen? You’d definitely earn a scolding and be told to get lost, while a long line of backup suitors wait eagerly to serve "Her Majesty."
