"Alert! Visitors detected!"

"Visitors identified as three males and one female. Threat level: 8!"

The alert tone suddenly rang in Li Tianran's ears. He stopped what he was doing and looked towards the farm gate.

The Mercedes that had sped past the farm earlier had somehow returned and was now parked in front of the gate.

At the same time, a series of images appeared in Li Tianran's mind.

A stunningly beautiful woman with an arrogant air and a well-dressed man in a suit stood before the farm gate. Behind them were two burly, bear-like brutes with狰狞faces that were quite intimidating.

Li Tianran frowned.

These people didn't seem to have good intentions...

"Is anyone there?" Just then, the brute with the狰狞scar on his face pounded on the farm's iron gate, his voice rough as he shouted, "Is anyone home?"

Li Tianran licked his lips.

He suddenly smiled.

"Am I being a little too paranoid?" Li Tianran mocked himself, "Even if these people have bad intentions, they can't get in! For now, it's absolutely safe inside the farm. Might as well see what they want..."

With that thought, Li Tianran jumped off the excavator and walked towards the gate.

Soon, he stood before the barred gate, looking at the four visitors, sizing them up and down as he asked, "I'm the owner here. What do you want?"

"We have some business. Could you open the gate and let us in so we can talk face to face?" Bai Jingyan gestured gently to the lock on the iron gate, a gentle smile on his face.

Li Tianran shook his head, refusing without hesitation. "No! Say whatever you have to say here!"

What a joke!

Who do you think you are? Letting you in just like that?

Faced with such a blunt refusal, Bai Jingyan didn't show a trace of anger on his face. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Understood! Understood! After all, things are chaotic these days... It's safer to talk through the gate like this!"

Li Tianran stroked his chin and said, "Get to the point. I'm busy."

"It's like this..." Bai Jingyan glanced at General Manager Ren standing beside him and winked at her.

Although he was from the head office, Tianrun Corporation was a local power in Nancheng. He needed General Manager Ren to handle many things.

For example, in this situation, General Manager Ren's identity would definitely be more useful than his!

"I'm Ren Xiao, the General Manager of Tianrun Corporation." General Manager Ren pulled out a gold-embossed business card from her prominent chest pocket and handed it through the gaps in the barred iron gate, saying straightforwardly, "Long story short, I want to buy this farm of yours. Name your price!"

General Manager Ren was actually very skilled in the art of negotiation.

She immediately stated her identity to put psychological pressure on Li Tianran.

As long as Li Tianran was overwhelmed by her aura, she would be able to control the rhythm of the subsequent price negotiation.

But she never expected that her identity would have absolutely no intimidating effect on Li Tianran.

If Li Tianran hadn't gotten rid of Liang Tianyu, Ren Xiao would probably have had to wait a long, long time before she could climb to the top!

"Tianrun Corporation!" Li Tianran frowned tightly, looking at Ren Xiao, his thoughts racing through his mind.

His first reaction was that his killing of Liang Tianyu had been exposed and that the other party was using the guise of buying the farm to test him!

"You can name any price you want. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can meet it." Seeing that Li Tianran didn't take her business card, Ren Xiao frowned slightly and spoke again in a soft voice, "If you don't have a place to live, I can also offer you a set of housing in the villa district in the city center..."

"No need." Li Tianran suddenly interrupted Ren Xiao, saying softly, "I'm used to living here. I don't have any plans to move for the time being, so... I'm sorry!"

Ren Xiao's face was a little unpleasant.

Anyone would be displeased by such a blunt refusal, especially after she had stated her identity and the other party still didn't give her any face.

"Don't you want to hear the price?" Ren Xiao frowned. "Perhaps you'll change your mind after hearing it."

"No need. I just like living here. Even if you give me a mountain of gold, I wouldn't trade it." Li Tianran smiled.

Clang!

Just then, the brute with the狰狞scar on his face suddenly kicked the gate, sneering and pointing at Li Tianran, "Let me tell you, kid! Don't be an ingrate! Do you know who we are? Do you know what kind of background we have?"

"You're just a nobody. You better agree while we're still willing to talk to you nicely. Otherwise, you'll regret it when we get angry!"

Li Tianran's face instantly darkened.

"Warning! Warning! Farm gate detected to be under violent attack. Attack strength is 1. Do you want to launch a counterattack?"

The brute's kick actually triggered the system's warning!

Ren Xiao obviously hadn't expected the brute to suddenly explode. By the time she reacted, she was already furious.

Why did Tianrun Corporation have such a bad reputation in Nancheng?

One reason was the past monopoly on high-priced drugs, and the other was that under Liang Tianyu's leadership in recent years, the employees of Tianrun Corporation had all become somewhat arrogant and overbearing!

Ren Xiao had always hated this kind of behavior and had wanted to completely reverse this situation after she took over, but she didn't expect this "bear" to do such a thing right in front of her today!

"Da Kui!" However, before Ren Xiao could get angry, Bai Jingyan's face instantly darkened. He turned around and slapped the brute twice, very loudly!

"How did I teach you? Tone down your bandit behavior! If I ever see you treating people like this again, you can go back to Modu!"

Bai Jingyan's face was gloomy as he pointed at the brute and berated him.

Something strange happened.

The arrogant and fierce brute had been slapped twice in the face in front of so many people by the weak Bai Jingyan, but he didn't dare to show any anger. Instead, he nodded and bowed obsequiously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, I was wrong! I won't do it again!"

Bai Jingyan turned his head, his face once again showing an extremely bright smile as he looked at Li Tianran, "My subordinate is insensible, please don't take it to heart."

Li Tianran couldn't help but admire the speed at which this man changed faces.

To be able to switch between two faces in such a short period of time without seeming abrupt at all, this person was definitely not simple!

Li Tianran nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay, I won't take it to heart! Come here, you!"

As Li Tianran spoke, he waved at Da Kui.

Da Kui walked over with a gloomy face, "What? What else do you want to say..."

Slap!

Li Tianran suddenly raised his leg, his big foot passing through the gap in the iron gate and kicking Da Kui in the abdomen!

The force was so great that Da Kui screamed on the spot, clutching his stomach and kneeling on the ground!

"You kicked my gate once, and I kicked you once. We're even." Li Tianran dusted off the dust on his trouser legs and glanced at the dumbfounded Ren Xiao, "If there's nothing else, please leave!"

After saying that, Li Tianran looked at Da Kui, who was kneeling on the ground with a bruised and purple face, and suddenly smiled:

"Oh, so big shots also feel pain when they get beaten!"

"I thought you guys had so much money and such big backgrounds that you were invulnerable... Hehe!"

Li Tianran's sarcastic tone caused a blush of anger to appear on Ren Xiao's fair face.

At this moment, Ren Xiao wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Too embarrassing!

This was clearly a sentence mocking all of them.

She had wanted to砸Li Tianran with money, Da Kui had wanted to scare Li Tianran with his background, but now, they had been stabbed back with a single sentence, causing them to lose all face!
