However, the assistant looked sarcastic. He raised his eyebrows. “Miss Shan Yue, even if Hunter and the others fail in their operation, even if you will suspect that this is Mr. Victor’s doing, there’s not enough evidence to prove that he did this, right? So you can’t pose a threat to us just by talking.”
“What you said is indeed true. You were indeed well prepared beforehand.” Shan Yue’s eyebrows were very calm. “If I hadn’t used some extraordinary methods, I really wouldn’t have been able to get any information out of Hunter.”
“You don’t have to praise us, Miss Shan.” Victor’s lips curled into a perfect smile. “So what if you know that I did it? Without substantial evidence, neither you nor Carter can expose me to Father.”
Shan Yue shook her head helplessly and smiled. “So I’m not prepared to expose you at all.”
Victor and his assistant’s eyes widened. “What did you say? Then why did you go through so much trouble to get to this point?”
“Of course it’s for money.” Shan Yue’s smile was mocking. “Who in this world will make things difficult for money?”
Victor couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. He raised a hand and pointed at Shan Yue. “Miss Shan, I think you’re still living in a dream. What makes you think I’ll give you money after you come to me and say some nonsense?”
“Mr. Victor, don’t be in a hurry to make a decision. You can indeed choose whether to give it to me or not, but…” Shan Yue’s lips curled deeper and deeper. She took out the knife at her waist and played with it casually. “If you reject me, neither of you will walk out of this door alive tonight.”
Victor slowly stood up and pretended to walk casually to the table as he dealt with Shan Yue. “You want both of our lives. On what basis? With the knife in Miss Shan’s hand?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor saw that Shan Yue’s gaze was not on him. He quickly pulled open the bottom drawer and prepared to take out his gun. When the drawer opened, Victor was instantly dumbfounded by how empty it was.
“Are you looking for a gun, Mr. Victor?” Shan Yue’s words revealed a cold mockery. “Don’t look for it. It’s with me.” Then Shan Yue took out a gun and aimed the black muzzle at Victor.
The situation stunned Victor on the spot. An awkward smile gradually appeared on his face. After raising his hands above his head, he obediently sat back down.
“What about now, Mr. Victor?” Shan Yue draped one leg over the other. “I suppose I’m entitled to ask you for money.”
Victor replied with trepidation. Even his words began to stutter. “You-you’re qualified, Miss Shan. Just tell me how much you want.”
“You’re wrong.” Shan Yue’s eyebrows gradually curved. “The problem isn’t how much I want, but how much your and your assistant’s lives are worth in Mr. Victor’s heart.”
Victor didn’t know what to do after hearing this. He turned to discuss it with his assistant.
“It’s okay. You can discuss it slowly.” Shan Yue pursed her lips casually. “Whether you want money or your life depends on your choice. Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. It’s in your own hands now.”
Shan Yue naturally poured a glass of hot water and drank it slowly. After two minutes, Victor finally spoke.
“Miss Shan.” Victor’s words were very tentative. He extended two fingers. “Do you think twenty billion yuan can buy my and my assistant’s lives?”
When Victor finished, a quick look of pleasant surprise flashed in Shan Yue’s eyes. She’d thought she could just knock off a hundred million, but she’d been surprised to get twenty billion directly. But since Victor could offer twenty billion, it must not be his limit, so she might as well beat him at his own game and turn off the safety on the gun.
“No, no, no. 30. I’ll give you 30 billion. Please spare our lives.” Victor quickly begged for mercy. The assistant beside him almost knelt on the ground.
