Liu Zhibo was simply a madman.
To kill someone in the third hour, to force Su Yinchuan.
Even ordinary kidnappers wouldn't do such a thing; it was the epitome of depravity.
"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to come over obediently? Are you thinking about how I'm going to toy with you?" Zhu Mingzhe's eyes were filled with lust as he looked at Lan Ying, whose half-face was swollen, and revealed a vengeful smile.
He was originally a minor leader in Xihai and once regarded Lan Ying as a goddess.
He even deigned to be a lapdog to pursue her.
Unfortunately, Lan Ying had never given him a second glance.
A few years ago, he lost a gang fight and was chased. He encountered Liu Zhibo and became his follower.
This gave him the capital to make a comeback.
Now that Lan Ying had fallen into his hands, he could do whatever he pleased.
"Beast!" Lan Ying spat, her face full of defiance.
Although she had been slapped, she showed no fear.
As the princess of the underground forces, her pride was evident. No matter how vicious Zhu Mingzhe was, in her eyes, he was no different from a skeleton.
Once a dog, always a dog.
A dog biting its owner would only anger the owner, never instill fear.
This was precisely her situation now.
However, to avoid being slapped on the other side of her face again, she could only follow the bodyguards and be driven forward.
Li Chonglou and Xu Lie followed behind.
Li Chonglou had remained silent, watching Liu Zhibo and the others perform.
In Liu Zhibo's eyes, he and Xu Lie were mere underlings.
This was for the best; only by not being noticed could they strike unexpectedly.
The other party had guns and was habitually murderous, not caring about human lives. Once they made their move, they had to have a ten-tenths chance of success.
Otherwise, there would be casualties.
If not for the concern for Su Yinchuan and his bodyguards' lives, he would have already let Xu Lie attack.
"Don't do anything reckless, I'll definitely give you the money, believe me." Su Yinchuan's eyes were filled with despair, but he still wanted to negotiate. "Let them all go, and I'll give you an extra hundred million for each person, how about it?"
As a business magnate, his intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary people.
How could he not see that Liu Zhibo was making a desperate gamble and had no intention of letting him leave this tomb alive?
With his influence and power in Xihai, once he saw the light of day again, Liu Zhibo would be unable to escape.
Knowing this situation, he still resorted to kidnapping and extortion, which meant he had already prepared to silence them.
In such a place, there was no law.
Even if he died, no one would know.
It was the perfect occasion for murder and robbery.
It was just a pity that his bodyguards and goddaughter were implicated. He could save one if he could.
This statement earned Li Chonglou's admiration.
He thought Su Yinchuan was just a successful businessman, but he didn't expect him to have such courage.
Knowing that the other party didn't intend to leave any survivors, he still increased his offer, trying to rescue others from the dire situation.
This was more than just a businessman; the chivalrous spirit in his bones was admirable.
Unfortunately, how could someone like Liu Zhibo leave himself with any future trouble?
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhibo refused: "Mr. Su, you are now a bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect yourself, and you still have the leisure to care about others?"
"Who do you think you are, a savior?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, another shot was fired, blowing out the head of a bodyguard.
This was a show of force, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
"See? Because of your petty thoughts, another one of your subordinates is dead, and now there are only six left." Liu Zhibo glanced at Li Chonglou and Lan Ying. "If you want to save their lives, bring the money quickly."
"Not a cent less, I know you have the ability to get twenty billion cash within a day."
Su Yinchuan's eyes were wide with rage, but he was helpless.
He dared not say another word, for fear that someone else would die because of him.
"Do you know how much twenty billion is?" Li Chonglou said calmly at this moment. "Taking the fifth edition of the Chinese Yuan as an example, the weight of one hundred million in one hundred-yuan bills is 1.15 tons."
"The volume is about 1.19 cubic meters. If you stack them up, they can reach the height of thirty to forty floors."
"It takes you 2 days to count one hundred million with a money counting machine."
"Twenty billion, multiply the above data by twenty, and think about it yourself."
"Even if Mr. Su can get so much cash within a day and transport it here."
"Can you carry it away? Do you have wings to fly?"
Li Chonglou's words instantly drew everyone's attention to him.
No one expected Li Chonglou to speak at this moment.
Su Yinchuan's pupils dilated, his face filled with worry.
Lan Ying was stunned, not understanding what Li Chonglou was trying to do at this time. Did he want to die?
Didn't he see Liu Zhibo killing two bodyguards as if it were a game?
Was he intellectually challenged?
Liu Zhibo also obviously paused.
Then he suddenly sneered, "You're really something, I almost forgot."
"I can't help it, I've lived for more than forty years, and I've never seen so much cash with my own eyes."
"You were invited by Mr. Su to appraise treasures, so it means you not only have good eyesight but also a very sharp mind."
"Come, come... I'll give you three minutes, tell me a solution."
"If you can't, die!"
As he said "die," all the smiles on Liu Zhibo's face disappeared, replaced by a ferocious murderous intent.
He sat down on the stone pillar base of the tomb chamber and told Zhu Mingzhe to bring Li Chonglou to him.
He raised his gun and pressed it directly to Li Chonglou's forehead.
In an instant, Xu Lie's eyes glared, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He almost couldn't resist and attacked.
Even Lan Ying closed her eyes in fear, not daring to look.
Su Yinchuan's face was extremely grim, but he dared not say anything. Liu Zhibo was a madman, not a professor at all.
He was unpredictable, and if he angered him by speaking again, what if he shot Li Chonglou directly?
Only Li Chonglou, with a gun at his head, remained calm.
There was not the slightest sign of tension.
The reason he spoke at this time was not because he was tired of living, but to deliberately attract Liu Zhibo's attention.
Only in this way, when the time was right for Xu Lie to make his move, would others not be implicated.
As for his own life, Li Chonglou believed that Liu Zhibo would not kill him for the time being.
This confidence came from his understanding of human nature.
Liu Zhibo wanted money, and killing was to force Su Yinchuan to comply and create deterrence.
And afterward, he would definitely silence everyone for security. If even one person escaped, he could face disaster.
After all, it involved Su Yinchuan, the richest man in Xihai.
Therefore, he had no intention of leaving any survivors.
But even if everyone could guess these words, they would not be spoken aloud.
Otherwise, they would just fall out immediately.
Su Yinchuan had clearly given in. As long as he agreed to get the money, he and the bodyguards would have to huddle together, with guns pressed against their heads at all times.
There would be no more good opportunities to speak.
At that time, it would be even more passive.
It was better to go all out now.
"Don't rush, you want money, killing me will bring you no benefit," Li Chonglou said calmly, raising his hands. "Actually, this matter is easy to solve."
"Instead of cash, why don't you take Su's company shares?"
"As far as I know, his company is an old listed group. Such an enterprise will operate normally even without its boss."
"As long as you get equity of equivalent value, you can cash it out at any time."
"As for the fear of leaks, it doesn't exist, as you didn't intend to let us live anyway, right?"
Li Chonglou directly stated the facts, making the bodyguards dumbfounded and their faces filled with horror.
Lan Ying was shocked. She increasingly failed to understand Li Chonglou's actions.
What was the benefit to both sides of revealing their cards at this time?
Also, how could he think of taking company shares? Was he saving himself or betraying them?
For a moment, Lan Ying couldn't figure out Li Chonglou's motive and felt even more disgusted.
She spat, "Pah, you spineless coward."
"Heh heh, he looks very spirited, all skin and bones, but what a pity, Mr. Su misjudged him," Zhu Mingzhe sneered sarcastically.
Liu Zhibo listened to Li Chonglou's suggestion and remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Su Yinchuan frowned, his eyes filled with despair.
Originally, they could have survived one more day before being silenced.
But now that Li Chonglou had revealed the matter and proposed such an idea, they probably wouldn't last even an hour.
The share transfer agreement was too easy to write. As long as it had his fingerprint and signature, it would be effective.
If he could get out alive, he could naturally revoke it.
If he died, then it would be truly irreversible.
Not only would his life be lost, but his company would also belong to Liu Zhibo, which was the situation he least wanted to see.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. No cash, just equity," Liu Zhibo thought for a full minute and a half, then suddenly looked up and shouted, "Mingzhe, go get paper and pen."
"Have Mr. Su write a transfer agreement, I want all the equity."
"If he refuses to write it, then kill them one by one, and rape his goddaughter in front of him."
"I believe Mr. Su is not heartless."
A lion's roar coupled with naked threats.
Su Yinchuan's assets were not just twenty billion. If the shares were cashed out, it could be nearly a hundred billion.
Li Chonglou's suggestion undoubtedly helped him greatly increase his income.
And these words were deliberately spoken to Su Yinchuan, instantly shattering his will to resist.
He would not doubt that Liu Zhibo was capable of his word.
In the end, they would all die, so why let Lan Ying suffer more.
"I'll write... You don't have to be so despicable," Su Yinchuan replied weakly.
He took the paper and pen brought by Zhu Mingzhe and quickly wrote that all the shares under his name were transferred to Liu Zhibo.
Then he shakily signed his name and pressed his fingerprint after dipping it in ink.
After doing all this, Su Yinchuan seemed to have lost all his strength and suddenly looked ten years older.
His body softened and he almost fell to the side.
"Godfather!" Lan Ying screamed and instinctively reached out to support him.
Liu Zhibo, meanwhile, was gleefully browsing the transfer agreement worth hundreds of billions and didn't even bother to glance at Su Yinchuan.
As long as he left this cave and got rid of Su Yinchuan, he would legitimately inherit the company.
He would become the new richest man in Xihai.
At that time, why would he need to tomb-rob?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhibo couldn't help but feel ecstatic, no longer able to hide his joy.
"Brother Xu, make your move!" Just then, Li Chonglou suddenly roared.
Xu Lie, who had been waiting quietly, surged forward like an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, targeting Liu Zhibo.
