Chapter 1076 - 1076: Persuade!
Then, his expression turned ugly. He suppressed his anger and asked, ” I remember that Young Master Li once said that unless I find the precious stone bead that your family lost, I have to pay 300,000 taels of silver or the Golden Origin Auction House to compensate, right?
When Li Baoquan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, ” It seems like Uncle Chen has thought it through?
Chen Shanbiao shook his head. ” No, I haven’t thought about it yet.
Li Baoquan’s eyes immediately darkened. Then, he asked, ” When will Uncle Chen give me an answer? You must know that the stone bead is used to save my business funds. The later you answer, the greater my loss will be. At that time, you’ll have to compensate me more than 300,000 taels.”
He paused for a moment and continued, ” And the longer Yongfei will suffer!
Chen Shanbiao’s sharp gaze shot toward Li Baoquan. He took a deep breath and said, ” Hmph, I understand. I can give you an answer in the afternoon!’
Didn’t he repeatedly remind Chen Yongfei of his suffering in prison to increase his sense of urgency so that he could make a clear choice between his son and his boss?
If it was an ordinary person, this was not a choice at all. It was to save his son directly.
It was a pity that they didn’t understand how terrifying Lin Yuelan was.
His intuition told him that if he chose to betray Lin Yuelan, the Chen family would not be able to survive.
At least, the facts were telling him that Zhou Anping, the governor, did not dare to frame him openly because he had Lin Yuelan protecting him.
However, if he chose to betray Lin Yuelan directly, he knew very well that Zhou Anping would have no scruples at all. He could make the Chen family disappear immediately. He would not give them the time to escape.
Perhaps Li Baoquan was being used and didn’t know the truth behind this, but Chen Shanbiao wasn’t a fool. He couldn’t foolishly fall into the trap.
After Chen Shanbiao left, Li Baoquan looked at his back, clenched his fists, and frowned.
He had a feeling that the truth behind this matter was not what he had imagined.
However, no matter what, he had already fallen into the trap. There was no way for him to retreat.
He could only let Chen Yongfei and the Chen family down!
As soon as Chen Shanbiao left the Li Residence, he took out the stone bead and turned around. He looked at the plaque of the Li Residence. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Then, he left.
Lin’s Family Garden
Lin Yuelan was expressionless when she heard Chen Shanbiao’s words. She asked coldly, ” Oh, Li Baoquan kept persuading you to use the Gold Origin Auction House as compensation?
Chen Shanbiao nodded. ” Yes!
He didn’t report this matter yesterday because he wanted to confirm the true purpose of Li Baoquan setting up his son again.
In the end, Li Baoquan forced him to betray Lin Yuelan and transfer the Gold
Origin Auction House to him.
Chen Shanbiao was really disappointed in Li Baoquan.
Regardless of whether he was forced or not, it was a fact that he had used his good friend’s friendship to set up a trap.
In the future, his relationship with Fei ‘er would end here.
Lin Yuelan knocked on the table lightly and sneered, ” Hehe. What a plan!’
Then, she said to Chen Shanbiao, ” In the afternoon, do what you need you to do! I want to see how they plan to continue.”
“Yes!” Of course, Chen Shanbiao understood what Lin Yuelan meant.
After Chen Shanbiao left, Jiang Zhennan frowned and said, ” It seems like the mastermind won’t let this go until he gets the Golden Origin Auction House! In the past, he thought that even if Zhou Anping was not a good official, he was still a decent person.
But now, he realized that he was actually so petty and ungrateful.
Even if Lin Yuelan had forced him to let Chen Shanbiao and his family go, his life was saved by Lin Yuelan.
If Lin Yuelan wasn’t willing to save him, it was still unknown whether he would be alive or not. But now, he still had the intention to scheme against the Gold Origin Auction House and Lin Yuelan.
Hmph, he was too naive!
Lin Yuelan sneered and said, ” Since that’s the case, it’s impolite not to reciprocate! I’d like to see how Zhou Anping is going to end this!’
That afternoon, Chen Shanbiao arrived at the Li Residence as promised.
Li Baoquan did not go out since that morning. He had been waiting at home.
He knew that Chen Shanbiao was a man of his word.
He said that he would come over in the afternoon to inform him of his decision, so he would definitely come over in the afternoon.
However, he was a little worried and uneasy.
When the two of them met, Li Baoquan asked impatiently, ” Uncle Chen, have you made your choice?
