At this moment, Long Shaoyang's carefully styled hair was in complete disarray, looking like a bird's nest.

His expensive Armani suit was covered in footprints and bloodstains.

On closer inspection, half of his trouser leg had been torn off.

His face was swollen and bruised, his left arm had bloodstains, and blood was still flowing out.

The moment he burst into the conference room, he dropped to his knees in front of Su Yinxue with a thump.

"President Su, save me, please save me."

Yang Fei could tell at a glance that this guy had just been brutally beaten.

He couldn't help but find it funny inside.

At this time, the meeting had almost come to an end.

Su Yinxue announced the close of the meeting, asking others to leave while keeping only Yang Fei and Long Shaoyang behind.

Su Yinxue said indifferently, "Young Master Long, our newly established Changfeng Security Company was just about to start preparations today."

"You should go back first and wait in peace for a couple of days. As soon as we open for business, we will certainly take your case first."

Long Shaoyang became weak all over. He lifted his head, looking pitifully helpless.

"President Su, I beg you to save me. If you wait until your grand opening, I'll be dead by then. Money is not a problem," he pleaded.

His face, which was fairly handsome, had been beaten to resemble a pig's head.

His suit had been slashed into rags, bloodstained all over.

Such injuries held a deeper meaning to an expert like Yang Fei.

It was clear that the assailant did not wish to kill. The knife slashes were surface wounds, not affecting vitals.

Had the attacker switched from slashing to stabbing, just a light jab could have been lethal.

However, for someone like Long Shaoyang, a pretty boy, such a tactic of intimidation was most effective.

After all, a glinting blade cutting into a person's flesh is a huge intimidation and terror for the average person.

No wonder Long Shaoyang, this grandson, was scared to such a state.

Su Yinxue smiled faintly, speaking in a light tone, "Young Master Long, as you know, I am not short of money."

Long Shaoyang was taken aback at once.

The ice-cool and stunning female president in front of him was indeed not one to lack funds.

"You may leave. Our new company hasn't officially started business yet, and we're not inclined to offend many underground forces," she continued.

"Or perhaps, I can call the police for you?"

Lin Xueyi gracefully turned her body, her beautiful legs crossed over one another, forming a delightfully lovely vista.

"Please don't call the police, I beg you."

Long Shaoyang, who had already stood up, was frightened back to his knees with a thump.

He said pitifully, "I've been keeping my business dealings hidden from within the family."

"If the family board finds out that I've misappropriated funds, then my standing in the family will be ruined."

Su Yinxue glanced nonchalantly at Yang Fei and sighed.

"Then I can't help you," she said.

Long Shaoyang was out of options.

The newly established Changfeng Security Company was his last hope for survival. How could he give up so easily?

He desperately continued pleading, "President Su, Mr. Yang Fei, I know I have offended you before."

"I beg you to overlook my past wrongs, please give a brother a hand. In the future, I'd be willing to work like an ox or a horse to repay you."

Yang Fei chuckled, tapping his fingers on the table.

"President Su is the boss here. You make the call on this matter," he said.

After keeping Long Shaoyang on tenterhooks, Su Yinxue finally allowed a faint smile to surface.

"Businesspeople pursue profit, and if you're willing to pay the right price, there might be a way," she said.

Salvation at the brink of despair!

Long Shaoyang, who had no other options, could hardly contain his boundless joy.

He knocked his head on the floor three times before Su Yinxue with a bang.

"As long as President Su can lend me a hand, anything will do," he said.

Su Yinxue snapped her fingers elegantly.

"How about you transfer your shares of Jinyuan Shopping Center to me?" she proposed.

"What?"

Long Shaoyang was stunned.

51.45% of the shares of Jinyuan Shopping Center had already been bought by Su Yinxue.

With the ability to control the entire Jinyuan Shopping Center, Su Yinxue was now a formidable power. Yet, as the second-largest shareholder, Long Shaoyang's strength was not to be underestimated.

At a critical moment, Long Shaoyang could still turn the tables against his foes.

Moreover, considering the shares he held and the company's influence he had built over so many years.

Long Shaoyang's chances of turning the situation around were at least fifty-fifty.

Long Shaoyang was furious that Fan Song would buy shares of Jinyuan Shopping without even discussing it and held Su Yinxue in contempt as well.

Three months ago, Su Yinxue had no choice but to seek collaboration with him under the condition of offering a more than sixty percent discount.

In Long Shaoyang's eyes, Su Yinxue was still inconsequential.

As long as he still controlled forty percent of the company shares.

It was yet to be seen who would lose or win.

But what Long Shaoyang had never expected.

Was that Su Yinxue would force him to give up his company shares at this time.

This was nothing short of looting a burning house.

Su Yinxue looked at him indifferently.

"For this matter, I'm not forcing you. If you're willing, then let's sign the contract,"

Long Shaoyang's tears were nearly falling.

Dammit, wasn't this coercion?

If Long Shaoyang didn't agree to Su Yinxue's conditions.

It was likely that by tomorrow, he would become a cold and lifeless corpse.

This was a matter of life and death.

Long Shaoyang truly experienced the taste of wanting to cry without tears.

It really was retribution.

Three months ago, Long Shaoyang used Yalan Fashion's entry into specialty stores as a blackmailing tactic to insult Su Yinxue.

And three months later, Su Yinxue used the same method to blackmail him into relinquishing his shares in Jinyuan Shopping Center.

An eye for an eye, what goes around comes around.

Long Shaoyang was also someone decisive and ruthless.

He immediately saw the current situation clearly.

If he couldn't get the protection from Changfeng Security, he might very well lose his life.

Survival was his top priority. As long as he was alive, anything was possible.

Long Shaoyang let out a bitter laugh as he stood up, with a smile uglier than crying.

"President Su, do I have a choice?"

Su Yinxue stopped talking and just looked at him coldly.

Yang Fei, with his arms folded, watched Long Shaoyang lazily.

Long Shaoyang glanced outside the building.

The scene of being chased and slashed at was still fresh in his mind.

He clenched his teeth: "Fine, I'm willing to relinquish the shares of Jinyuan Shopping, but not all. I want to keep ten percent."

"Otherwise, it could alarm the family board of directors. If that happens, I might as well come clean with them."

Su Yinxue calculated and figured that with Long Shaoyang controlling ten percent and herself controlling over eighty-five percent.

In this scenario, no matter how Long Shaoyang racked his brain or what tactics he used, his influence over Jinyuan Shopping Center would be minimal.

She smiled faintly: "Alright, no problem. As for the price, shall we refer to Mr. Fan Song's last offer?"

"I'll draft a purchase proposal, and if you see no issues, you just need to sign."

"Fan Song's price?"

Long Shaoyang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fan Song's last sold shares were weakly priced, at least ten million below market value.

If they followed Fan Song's acquisition price.

Then he would be conceding another seven or eight million for nothing.

Damn it, that's hard-earned money we're talking about.

Indeed, there's no business without shrewdness.
