Jiangshan City, Bai Family, the patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Guanghai, was extremely frustrated.
Several days had passed. He had spent a fortune and mobilized almost all his connections to find a way to remove the divine power蛊 from his son's body.
However, his efforts were in vain. Those so-called renowned doctors and experts had never even heard of such a蛊 worm.
Several others, upon hearing that the poison was administered by a蛊 King, immediately hung up the phone, wishing they had never known Bai Guanghai.
Bai Guanghai looked at his son on the hospital bed. His son had suffered severe injuries but had recovered within a few days. However, his arm was still hanging limply, its function not yet restored.
This was not a good sign. Such a recovery speed was clearly beyond the capabilities of ordinary humans! And such a recovery speed also came at the cost of consuming a large amount of life force.
Helpless, Bai Guanghai decided to visit the Wang family again to negotiate!
In the Wang family's reception room, Old Master Wang sat calmly. Beside him were Ling Tian and Wang Bingxia.
Opposite them sat Bai Guanghai, his face grim.
"Mr. Bai, have you made up your mind?" Ling Tian asked with a smile.
Seeing Ling Tian's expression, Bai Guanghai wished he could punch him, but he knew he couldn't.
"Mr. Ling Tian, I'm afraid I cannot agree to this matter!
To acquire these shares, we have drained almost all our funds and also borrowed money using our assets as collateral. These interest payments are all costs.
If you were to take back the shares just like that, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the other shareholders of the Bai family, and I might not be able to continue as patriarch."
Old Master Wang suddenly interjected, "Oh dear, Young Bai, you are too modest. Everyone knows that Bai Guanghai's word is law in your Bai family!
Even your own brother, who defied your orders, was dealt with obediently..."
"You..." Bai Guanghai clenched his fists under the table, almost squeezing out water. Old Master Wang was cruelly mocking him.
Years ago, Bai Guanghai's younger brother had tried to establish his own power base and had almost succeeded. Then, he had been involved in a car accident and had become a vegetable.
This car accident remained a mystery to this day, but Bai Guanghai had firmly secured control of all the Bai family's industries.
"Old Master Wang is joking. However, I regret to inform you that I cannot fulfill your proposed plan...
You can propose other plans. If I can do them, I will not refuse!"
Ling Tian had already communicated with the Old Master and knew very well that someone like Bai Guanghai was like a wolf. Even if his own son died, he wouldn't easily give up the benefits he had obtained.
"How about this, I'm short of money right now. Boss Bai is wealthy and powerful. How about you lend me some?"
"Alright, how much do you want?"
"Not much, 1 billion!" Ling Tian said with a smile.
"You're extorting me!" Bai Guanghai slammed the table.
"Hey, Boss Bai, you can't say that. It wasn't me who put the蛊 on your son.
You need to understand that you are asking me to treat your son, not that I am forcing you.
If I'm not mistaken, your son's injuries are recovering very quickly. That's not a good thing!"
Bai Guanghai's heart trembled. This guy was making an outrageous demand, asking for 1 billion yuan. Their Bai family didn't have that much cash flow right now.
Moreover, what Ling Tian said was not an exaggeration. They had indeed borrowed a lot to acquire the Wang family's shares.
However, the situation Ling Tian described was precisely what his son was experiencing.
Think about it, delaying by one day meant his son lost nearly a month of his lifespan. Who could bear that!
"50 million, I'll give you 50 million!
Kid, don't be greedy!"
"Are you saying that Boss Wang's son's life is not worth that much?" Ling Tian's face showed a playful expression.
"There's nothing I can do, I can't come up with that much money."
"Then exchange it for the Wang family's shares."
"Don't even think about the shares, it's impossible!" Bai Guanghai said decisively.
"I suspect you're thinking of rushing to let Bai Haotian favor more women to leave descendants for your Bai family.
Your body, Boss Bai, is still strong. You can live for another twenty to thirty years, and it's barely enough to cultivate a successor, right?"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Bai Guanghai's body trembled. He was puzzled. Was this guy a mind-reader? How could he have thought of this?
What Ling Tian said was absolutely true. In the past few days, Bai Guanghai had not been idle. He had found many women for his son to indulge with, and Bai Haotian was exhausted like a stud horse.
"Boss Bai, I advise you to give up your fantasies. That divine power蛊 is not as simple as you think. This thing can extract all the essence from the human body.
No matter how busy Bai Haotian is, those women will not get pregnant. If any woman truly gets pregnant, remember to do a paternity test!"
Bai Guanghai gritted his teeth in anger, "100 million!"
"Mr. Bai, do you think that蛊 poison is that easy to cure? To cure the蛊 poison, I need many precious medicinal ingredients, many of which are extremely difficult to find.
The cost of buying the medicinal ingredients alone might not even be enough for 100 million!"
"Nonsense, tell me what kind of medicinal ingredients you need!
I, Bai, have connections. Finding some rare medicinal ingredients is not difficult at all."
"Alright, then you go find them first. The gall and venom glands of a king cobra over 50 years old!
However, I must remind you that king cobras only live for about 30 years. Those that live past 50 years are mutated, and they are extremely rare in this world!
Also, snow lotus, it must be fresh, picked within three days, with a diameter of at least 20 centimeters, and it must be purely wild..."
Ling Tian listed a string of medicinal ingredients. Even Bai Guanghai, who was experienced and knowledgeable, was dumbfounded because he had never heard of such strange and bizarre things.
In the end, Bai Guanghai compromised. After a fierce verbal battle, the two sides finally reached an agreement. The Bai family would give Ling Tian 300 million in cash, and Ling Tian would help Bai Haotian remove the蛊 poison from his body.
As for the treatment location, it was in a town near the Bai family's estate, where there was a three-star hotel.
Ling Tian was unwilling to go to the Bai family to treat that guy. Who knew if the Bai family would set a trap for him after he cured the illness.
Given the character of the Bai family, this was a highly probable event.
Bai Guanghai left. They agreed to start the treatment in three days.
"Ling Tian, do you really need so many medicinal ingredients to treat his蛊 poison?" Wang Bingxia asked curiously.
"Haha, ask for the sky, settle for the earth.
In fact, only one or two items are needed, and we have them readily available."
