The sudden speech from Ye Longlin plunged the living room into silence.
Lin Kang angrily rebuked, "When did a mere soldier get to interfere in our family matters? My Lin family doesn't need an outsider like you giving orders!"
"It's very simple if you want the shares we hold. Pay up. We won't object if you buy them at the normal stock price. However, we hold over half the shares, and you're only offering us five hundred million? What is this, trying to shoo away beggars?"
Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes and sneered, "In the end, all you want is money."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lin Tian Ai quickly tried to mediate, "Second Uncle, we really don't have money right now. This five hundred million is all our family has left."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kang's eyes widened, "Who are you trying to fool? After so many years of Juling Group, how can you possibly only have this little money? I'm telling you, either we take the money and leave today, or you won't get the money back today, and you'll have to return the shares to us!"
"Pfft!"
Hearing this, Ye Longlin chuckled without restraint. He stood up and shook his head slightly, "I've seen shameless people, but never anyone as shameless as you. You're like a prostitute who still wants to put up a chaste archway. Who gave you the nerve?"
"Damn it! You dog, who the hell are you calling a prostitute!"
Lin Hang Yu, Lin Kang's son, immediately couldn't help but curse. He stepped forward and swung a slap towards Ye Longlin's face.
Accustomed to being above the law, he felt no one was beneath his notice.
A cold glint appeared in Ye Longlin's eyes. A dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. With a flash of cold light, the entire palm was severed.
"Ah—"
Lin Hang Yu screamed, blood spraying everywhere. The immense pain caused him to crouch down, clutching his severed hand tightly.
"If anyone continues to babble, I can't guarantee you'll leave here on your own two feet."
He said calmly, the chilling glint in his eyes causing everyone to instinctively take a step back, not wanting to provoke him.
Lin Tian Ai watched this scene, her eyes wide with disbelief and a surge of intense anger, "Ye Longlin, what exactly do you want?"
Ye Longlin glanced at Lin Tian Ai indifferently and shouted, "Shut up! I'll handle the rest!"
After being reprimanded, Lin Tian Ai pursed her lips and shrank back onto the sofa, feeling wronged.
"Either you get out of here, or the ambulance will carry you out. You only have these two options."
He lit a cigarette, his firm tone causing them to freeze, their faces turning ashen.
Lin Hao Ran's eyes also widened, his heart filled with uncertainty. The speed of the dagger just now was so extreme that even he couldn't discern the trace of its movement!
With just a flash of cold light, Lin Hang Yu's palm was cleanly severed!
This... this...
"Ye Longlin, are you looking for death? Do you know you're committing a crime? I'm calling the police, I'm calling the police!"
Lin Kang's face turned pale, his rage impotent.
"Do you need help calling the police?" Ye Longlin asked with a playful smile.
Lin Kang remained silent, gnashing his teeth as he looked at his son's tragic state, but he dared not make a move against Ye Longlin, fearing the same outcome.
"If you can make it to the hospital within half an hour, you might be able to reattach it, but if you keep spouting nonsense here, he'll never be able to reconnect it."
Hearing his words, Lin Kang glared at him fiercely. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Ye Longlin slowly say, "Did I agree to let you leave?"
Lin Kang roared, "What exactly do you want?"
Ye Longlin chuckled lightly, "Write a gratuitous transfer agreement, and then you can leave. Otherwise, I'll make sure you leave here horizontally if you walked in vertically."
Rage, absolute rage!
"You...!"
Lin Kang trembled all over with anger, pointing at Ye Longlin with bloodshot eyes, but he dared not make a move.
"I dislike people pointing at me. If it weren't for the fact that you still need to write the transfer agreement, you'd be in the same state as your son."
Ye Longlin sneered, a trace of disdain appearing on his lips.
The words made him instantly withdraw his hand, as if his palm were about to fall off the next second.
"You have twenty-nine minutes left."
He sat on the sofa, his feet propped up on the coffee table, a subtle pressure emanating from him.
Lin Tian Ai tugged at his clothes and whispered, "Ye Longlin, this is my family matter..."
Lin Lang Sheng waved his hand dismissively, "What do you mean, your family matter? Longlin is your husband, so this is naturally his family matter too. If you dare to say another word, believe it or not, I'll slap you!"
Lin Tian Ai: "..."
Looking at his family, Lin Kang gritted his teeth and growled, "Fine! Very good! Lin Lang Sheng, Lin Tian Ai, Ye Longlin, you wait. I won't let you go!"
After saying that, he humiliatingly crouched on the ground to write the transfer agreement, then picked up his son's severed palm and rushed to the hospital with Lin Hang Yu.
Ye Longlin's indifferent gaze swept over the others, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
The rest shivered and without hesitation, wrote their transfer agreements before quickly leaving.
Watching them leave, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Surely nothing else would happen tonight?
"Since it's resolved, I'll be leaving too. You all should get some rest."
Ye Longlin stood up and said before leaving directly.
They watched Ye Longlin depart, sighing, unsure what to say.
They might not know about other matters, but Lin Kang's issue was resolved by Ye Longlin.
"Alright, this matter ends here. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow. Get some rest."
Lin Lang Sheng said, turning and returning to his room. Lin Tian Ai and the others exchanged glances.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the residential area.
"Boss, all matters have been resolved," Yuan Gang said as he got out of the car and opened the rear door.
Ye Longlin nodded, "Issue an order to the Dragon Pavilion: Xingcheng is sealed. Anyone belonging to the Dragon Pavilion is prohibited from entering."
Yuan Gang was taken aback but immediately understood the reason and nodded, "Understood, I will pass down the order."
"What about Chi Long? Should he return or...?"
Ye Longlin snorted, "Hmph! Tell him to get lost and reflect!"
"The existence of the Dragon Pavilion is for protection, not to be someone's backing. From now on, if such a situation arises within the Dragon Pavilion, it must be curbed immediately. If anyone disobeys the order, they are to be expelled from the Dragon Pavilion!"
Yuan Gang gasped. The last time the boss was this furious was a year ago. It seemed Chi Long had truly angered Long Lin this time!
Just as they were leaving, a slender figure emerged from the darkness.
A woman in a black evening gown stepped out of the shadows, her eyes narrowed as she watched the direction they had left. A playful smile touched her lips.
"Ye Longlin's identity is undoubtedly extraordinary. If we can make him our backer, perhaps we can advance further."
