249 Guts

“What did you say? Lili actually… sold firearms. That’s impossible. Even if she had the guts, she wouldn’t do such a thing that violates the law.” Tang Xia tried his best to defend his daughter, whether it was his words or his facial expression. “It must be you. You wanted to get the shares in my hands and deliberately fabricated this matter to confuse me. You took the opportunity to reap the benefits.”

A disdainful smile flashed across Shan Yue’s lips. She did not care about Tang Xia’s words. “I know you might not be able to believe this immediately, but that’s the truth. The photo is in your hand. If I want to report her, there’s already conclusive evidence. You can choose not to believe me, but you can also call your so-called good daughter back and ask her face-to-face if she’s hiding anything from you.”

At this moment, Tang Xia’s values, which had been in business for decades, seemed to have been shattered. He, who had always insisted on justice, did not expect his daughter to do something illegal in private. “Tell me, what exactly do you want? Money, status, or power, I can give you all of them.”

“There’s no hurry, Uncle Tang. There’s still a lot of time. You can consider it carefully. If you confirm the credibility of this matter from your daughter, you can contact me again.” Shan Yue leaned back on the sofa and rested one leg on the other. Her expression was very satisfied. “According to my investigation, the crime of smuggling firearms will usually be sentenced to three to seven years. However, if the crime is serious, she might even be sentenced to life imprisonment. Then Miss Tang Li will spend the rest of her life in prison. Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“Name a price. How much?” Tang Xia did not show any more panic. Instead, he was exceptionally calm. “Sell me the evidence. How much do you want?”

“Uncle Tang is a smart person. You understand what I mean so quickly.” Shan Yue’s eyebrows relaxed. “It’s very simple for me to give you the evidence. It depends on what Uncle Tang will choose. Will you choose to give me 50 billion yuan and 20% of the Tang Corporation’s shares in your hands, or will you choose to leave your daughter in the lurch and personally send her to a cold cell?”

Hearing this, Tang Xia’s brows slowly furrowed and his expression became serious. “100 billion. The shares of the Tang Corporation are my lifeblood. I can’t give them to you. I’ll give you 100 billion to buy this photo and promise that the Tang Corporation won’t make things difficult for the Shan Corporation in the future. No matter how you look at it, this deal is already very worth it.”

“Uncle Tang, you have to understand the current situation. You’re the passive party. If you want to negotiate with me, you have to see my cues.” Shan Yue’s domineering aura was revealed, and her eyes were filled with determination. “50 billion and 20% of the shares. If you reject me, Miss Tang Li’s lawsuit will appear in the federal court tomorrow. Uncle Tang only have this child in his life, right? You definitely don’t want to see her lose her freedom for the rest of her life, right?”

Tang Xia’s eyes couldn’t help but become sharp. He narrowed his eyes. “Does that mean President Shan is threatening me now? You have to think carefully. No one has ever dared to threaten me.”

Shan Yue’s thin lips were curled into a faint smile, and her voice was especially magnetic. “No matter what Uncle Tang thinks now, whether you think I’m threatening or warning, your daughter has already broken the law. If you agree to my request, not only will I guarantee that Miss Tang will be unharmed, but you can also continue to enjoy your retirement. If you don’t agree to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless. When the time comes, it will be very embarrassing for both sides. It’s not the outcome I want.”

Tang Xia covered his face with one hand and frowned tightly, trying to cover his unsatisfactory state. His voice was very low as he said, “I can consider your request, but only after I verify this news.”

“No problem, Uncle Tang.” Shan Yue’s red lips parted slightly, and her simple words revealed her aura. “But I believe you know what to say and what not to say. After all, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. If you change your mind in the end, you can contact me as soon as possible. However, my patience has a limit. I hope that in the end, both of us can achieve a win-win outcome.”

With that, a thought-provoking smile flashed across Shan Yue’s face. Then, she took the photo back and turned to leave the Tang family.
