"Excellent, I admire your courage and..."
Ying Chen paused slightly.
"Greed!"
Huo Sheng and Li Fengcheng's thoughts were naturally known to Ying Chen.
But it didn't matter; if they weren't greedy enough, they wouldn't have taken the bait.
When fishing, one must use the best bait to catch the biggest fish.
If you sprinkle a handful of grass, there's a chance you'll catch a fish, but can you catch a big one?
Would a big fish care about your handful of grass?
"Then let's agree to meet at Kowloon Mountain in three days!"
"At that time, both parties will prepare the funds and items needed for the wager and hand them over to a trustworthy notary public before the battle."
"We will naturally prepare fifty billion in funds, and you only need to bring the relevant information about the Mirage Realm."
Li Fengcheng said to Ying Chen.
Ying Chen had not yet received the debts owed by He Chongxu and others, so they would be used as a deposit for the wager and not handed over to Ying Chen for now.
"As for the notary public, I plan to invite Old Master Ma from the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and Officer Lin from the capital. These two have considerable influence in Hong Kong. I believe it would be difficult to find anyone more suitable as a notary public in Hong Kong."
"What are your thoughts, Your Excellency?"
Ying Chen nodded indifferently, "I have no objections."
Let alone the fact that the two proposed by Li Fengcheng were indeed old enough and influential enough, even if they weren't, Ying Chen wouldn't care.
As long as Ying Chen had his own sense of fairness.
If Li Fengcheng and others' actions caused that scale to tip, Ying Chen wouldn't care about any notary public; he would immediately make Li Fengcheng and the others pay the price.
"Good! Then it's settled! We'll meet at the summit of Kowloon Mountain at ten o'clock in the morning, three days from now!"
"We shall not part until then!"
Li Fengcheng extended a palm and said.
Ying Chen lazily met his palm, sealing the agreement.
"Let's go!"
Li Fengcheng gave Ying Chen a deep look and turned to leave.
The other guests in the venue followed suit, filing out.
In the blink of an eye, only Ying Chen, Zhuang Ruoting, the father and son Liao Yifan, and a few staff members remained in the venue.
Liao Yifan had thought the matter was settled, but he hadn't expected this wager to come up.
If Ying Chen won, it would be fine, but what if Ying Chen lost?
Wouldn't he be considered a traitor by Li Fengcheng and the others in an instant, have his hands and feet broken, and be thrown into the sea?
The thought of that scene sent a chill through Liao Yifan.
He quickly ran to Ying Chen, "Mr. Ying, you must win! Please rest at my home for these three days. I guarantee you won't be disturbed!"
However, as soon as Liao Yifan finished speaking, he heard an angry roar from his father, who was lying on the ground.
"Beast, unfilial son, you are inviting a wolf into the house! I won't let you succeed! Without my permission, no one will set foot in the Liao family's door!"
Liao Yifan's father had just woken up and heard Liao Yifan's words.
Ying Chen casually glanced at Liao Yifan's father, "What, do you really want to become a vegetative person?"
Liao Yifan's father's expression changed instantly.
The string of curses that were about to come out of his mouth were forcefully swallowed.
Liao Yifan, like a lackey, said, "Mr. Ying, you don't need to pay attention to him. I'll tie his mouth shut with tape! I guarantee he'll be as quiet as a chicken for the next three days and won't make a sound! He definitely won't disturb your preparations!"
Hearing Liao Yifan's words, Liao Yifan's father's anger surged.
He instinctively wanted to curse, but thinking of Ying Chen's threat, he immediately closed his mouth obediently.
He didn't want to become a vegetative person who could only eat, drink, and urinate, unable to even look at the world!
Heard that vegetative people live in great pain, because they can feel their consciousness existing, but their consciousness is trapped in a dark room where they can't call to heaven or earth.
Every day and every night accompanied by darkness, for decades, until death.
The thought of such a terrifying life made Liao Yifan's father want to commit suicide!
He would rather live like a maggot now than become a vegetative person!
"Forget it, let Mr. Ying come to my place then!"
At this moment, Zhuang Ruoting suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Ying needs absolute quiet for these three days. Given the situation at your home, it's unlikely to be quiet for three days, let alone three months or three years. Your mother seeing your father like this will fight with you..."
Hearing Zhuang Ruoting's words, Liao Yifan chuckled awkwardly.
Indeed, Liao Yifan's mother would definitely make a scene when she saw her father in such a state.
And Liao Yifan couldn't do anything to his mother, otherwise he would truly become a filial son who killed both parents.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to take good care of Mr. Ying. If you need anything, just give me a call."
Liao Yifan agreed.
Thus, the two reached an agreement without even asking the opinion of the person involved.
So, Ying Chen was brought back to the Zhuang family by Zhuang Ruoting.
Ying Chen didn't care where he went; even if he went to the Liao family, it would be fine, because Ying Chen didn't need any preparations.
Everyone assumed that with a wager of fifty billion, Ying Chen would take it extremely seriously and prepare wholeheartedly.
Little did they know, Ying Chen didn't take it seriously at all.
It was like a university student entering an elementary school campus to participate in a knowledge competition.
If the university student was still extremely nervous, stayed up late studying, and practiced constantly, it would be too embarrassing.
Compared to the Liao family, the Zhuang family was significantly less impressive.
However, it was still considered a prominent family in Hong Kong, and at least the size of the villa was not small.
The only downside was its location, which was inferior to the Liao family's, not being in Hong Kong's absolute core wealthy district.
Upon entering, they saw Zhuang Ruoting's parents waiting restlessly in the living room.
The two had clearly learned some information and were worried about Zhuang Ruoting.
There was also a guest in the living room, whom Zhuang Ruoting's parents had specifically invited, hoping for help to rescue Zhuang Ruoting.
"Mr. Hu, Ruoting is now in the hands of that scoundrel, and her whereabouts are unknown. Please help us and rescue Ruoting!"
"I know you have extensive connections and many acquaintances on the mainland, perhaps you have friends who know that scoundrel. We are willing to pay, three million, five million, anything! Ask him to be merciful and let Ruoting go!"
Zhuang Ruoting's parents said to the guest with tearful voices.
The guest waved their hand, signaling them to calm down, "I have already heard about the situation. From what I see now, Ruoting should be fine. You don't need to be so anxious."
"This way, I'll inquire now about who this friend is. If I can contact him, I'll try to plead on your behalf. However, I cannot guarantee success."
"Then we'll trouble you, Mr. Hu." Zhuang Ruoting's parents said gratefully.
Then they watched the guest start making a phone call.
However, before the call was connected, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"No need to bother. I'm here in person."
Upon hearing this voice, not only Zhuang Ruoting's parents but also the guest's faces changed drastically.
As if facing a formidable enemy!
