âSince Mr. Lin has already guessed who I am, Iâll get straight to the point.â
âSure.â
âWe were in the wrong in this matter. Please donât hold it against us, Mr. Lin. Weâll compensate you accordingly. I hope you can stop public opinion from fermenting.â
âYou make it sound so easy. You tried to play tricks on me in the dark. Do you think 1â11 let this matter go so easily?â
âBut now that things have come to this, it wonât do anyone any good if we continue.â
âI donât agree. The share price of our Lingyun Groupâs company is soaring. I want things to ferment for a while longer, so I really hope that we can continue to waste time.â
âBut whatâs the point of doing this? Itâs just an increase for the numbers in your bank account. Mr. Lin isnât a short-sighted person. What you value arenât these superficial benefits.â
âNo wonder you can control Mitsui Group. Youâre a smart person,â Lin Yi said.
âI have three requests. If you can do all of them, Iâll smooth this over.â
âOkay, go ahead.â
âI want to know where Qiu Xucheng is!â
âNo problem. After our deal is done, Iâll send him to Terra. We can find a reason to bring him back.â
âSecondly, I want the core information of your Mitsui Heavy Industries.â
The reason why Lin Yi made such a request was not to enter the manufacturing industry.
He wanted this as a gift.
With this, he would have an additional, more secure card up his sleeve.
âImpossible!â
Takaya Mitsui immediately refused!
Mitsui Heavy Industries was an important pillar of Mitsui Group.
If the core technical information was given to Lin Yi, with Huaxiaâs current ability and scale, their industrial advantage would disappear in a few years. This would be an immeasurable blow to Mitsui Group.
âSince you donât agree, thereâs no reason to continue negotiating. Letâs end it here.â
âWait!â
Lin Yi was about to hang up when Takaya Mitsui stopped him.
âTell me the third requirement first.â
âThe third request is even simpler. Go to your Toyo TV station and bow and apologize to me. If you can do these three things, the grudge between us will be written off!â
Lin Yiâs third request was to maximize his own benefits.
If Takaya Mitsui publicly apologized on the television station, Lingyun Groupâs international status would rise, and his own value would leap to another level.
Although money was just a string of numbers to him, it was always good to have more.
âMr. Lin, I came with sincerity. I hope you wonât go overboard. Besides, you know my daughter and the two of you are very good friends. Do you really have to be so ruthless?â
âYou are such a hypocrite. You know that I know your daughter, but you didnât offer to let me off back then.â Lin Yi smiled.
âWhen you were messing with me, you were sharpening your knives. Now that youâre about to die, youâre playing the emotional card with me. Weâre all businessmen here. Do you think there is any point trying somelike this?â
Takaya Mitsuiâs heavy breathing could be heard on the other end of the phone.
It was filled with anger!
âI canât promise you anything other than the first point!â
âThen thereâs no need to continue talking. Letâs call it a day. Call me when youâve thought it through. Otherwise, donât contact me.â
With that, Lin Yi hung up without giving Takaya Mitsui a chance to speak.
In any case, he held the high ground. There was nothing to worry about. At most, Lin Yi would just continue wasting time.
Compared to Lin Yiâs calmness, the atmosphere on the Mitsui familyâs side was gloomy and dark.
âThis guy is too much!â
After hanging up the phone, Mitsui Kazuki cursed, âHow dare he make such a rude request!â
Caie Mitsui took back her phone and said indifferently,
âIn my opinion, there is a silver lining because he still gave us room to negotiate. If he really wanted to kill you, he wouldnât have demanded these three things at all. You guys can deal with what comes next yourselves.â
With that, Caie Mitsui turned around and left the villa.
Since she was powerless in this matter, there was no need for her to get involved.
As he watched his niece leave, Yamazuki Mitsuiâs attention returned to Takaya Mitsui.
âBrother, what do you think about this? You canât agree to the last two conditions!â
âThis industry is the lifeline and reputation of the Mitsui family. I definitely wonât agree to it,â Takaya Mitsui said.
It would be a lie to say that he did not regret it.
If Takaya Mitsui had known that something like this would happen, he wouldnât have done such a thing.
âBut now, Mitsui Groupâs stocks have started falling, which has caused substantial. Even the prime minister has personally called us. We have little choice.â
âIâm also thinking of a solution.â Takaya Mitsui said,
âWe are at too much of a disadvantage. It feels like any approach wonât have a substantive impact.â
Yamazuki Mitsui fell silent as well.
On the way back to Sunrise Land from Huaxia, he had been thinking about a solution to this matter, but he could not figure it out.
It was as if he had fallen into an endless loop. He did not even have the chance to refute.
Suddenly, Yamazuki Mitsuiâs eyes lit up.
âBrother, Iâve thought of a good idea!â
âTell me.â
âLetâs just kill Lin Yi.â
âThatâs not a good idea.â Takaya Mitsui said.
âAt such a sensitive time, if anything happens to Lin Yi, many people will suspect us. This is not good for us.â
âI know that,â Yamazuki Mitsui said.
âBut my thought process is a bit different than usual.â
âGo on.â
âDo you still remember how Eliza from Black Gold Corporation died back then without any leaving behind any leads?â
âI know.â
âWe can pin this on Lin Yi and tell Jeffrey that he took the ore. I think Jeffrey will be willing to do it.â
âYou want Jeffrey to kidnap him?â
âYes,â Yamazuki Mitsui said.
âIn this way, we can pressure Lin Yi to stop pursuing us. Both parties can reach a settlement and make this matter public. If Lin Yi encounters any further accidents, it wonât be our concern.â
This suggestion made Takaya Mitsuiâs eyes light up.
âThatâs a good plan. It can absolve us of any suspicion. But the question is, how can we create an opportunity for Black Gold Corporation? With Lin Yiâs status in Huaxia, itâs very difficult for the Black Gold Corporation to make a move there.â
âDidnât he say on the phone that we should hand over the person called Qiu Xucheng? We can use this event as bait to get him to come to Sunrise Land to meet Qiu Xucheng. We can create an opening then!â Yamazuki Mitsui sneered..
