Zhou Hongsheng also snorted coldly upon hearing this, unexpectedly giving Ling Zhenfei an eviction order.

"No rush, no rush!"

Facing the Zhou brothers' rapid change of face, Ling Zhenfei was neither annoyed nor anxious, he crossed his legs and said calmly, "Heh, I originally thought how much Du Kongting would bleed, turns out he only had an eight percent stake!

"Well, since you two want to be straightforward, I'll give you something satisfying, ten percent, gentlemen, is that fair enough?"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the Zhou brothers stood up somewhat surprised, exchanging glances once again.

To make sure he hadn't heard wrong, Zhou Hongtong asked again with doubt, "Mr. Ling, what you just said... is it true?"

"Of course!" Ling Zhenfei nodded without hesitation.

"Big brother, see..." Zhou Hongtong, evidently moved, quickly looked at Zhou Hongsheng for confirmation.

"Great! Mr. Ling is indeed straightforward, then it's settled."

Zhou Hongsheng was also very delighted, immediately extending his hand to Ling Zhenfei, "As long as Mr. Ling can really manage to give us an additional ten percent off the supply price, our Hongsheng will forever be Lin's most loyal business partner!"

"Heh, Director Zhou, I think you might have misunderstood my intention!"

Ling Zhenfei squinted at Zhou Hongsheng and ignored his offer to shake hands, "This ten percent I mentioned is not a discount, but a price increase!"

"What?" Upon hearing what Ling Zhenfei said, the Zhou brothers were both greatly surprised.

When they realized there wasn't a hint of jest in Ling Zhenfei's words, their surprise turned to anger.

"Ling Zhenfei, are you here to mock us?"

Zhou Hongsheng glared at Ling Zhenfei as if fire were about to shoot from his eyes, he stared at Ling Zhenfei for quite a while before angrily gesturing to his brother, "Show him out!"

"Please!" Zhou Hongtong, also angry, fiercely stared at Ling Zhenfei and opened the door, about to call security to throw Ling Zhenfei out.

"Heh, gentlemen, no need to be angry just yet."

Ling Zhenfei seemed completely unaware of the unfavorable circumstances, still looking leisurely at Zhou Hongsheng, "Director Zhou, as I said earlier, I came here with great sincerity. After all, I am certain that my sincerity will greatly surprise you."

Whoosh!

No sooner had Ling Zhenfei spoken than he unexpectedly dashed toward the safe next to the desk.

What was he doing?

Seeing this, the Zhou brothers immediately trembled.

They knew that inside this safe, there were many business secrets they did not want outsiders to know.

More importantly, it contained a Hongsheng Company ledger, which detailed their tax evasion and bribes to various officials.

If this fell into the hands of the authorities, not only would the brothers lose all their assets, but they could also end up in prison.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei head towards the safe, Zhou Hongtong was shocked and just about to step forward to stop him, but Zhou Hongsheng held him back.

Zhou Hongsheng, indeed a seasoned fox in the business world for many years, although he was surprised by Ling Zhenfei's actions, he managed to remain outwardly calm.

What gave him even more peace of mind was the fact that the key to the safe was hidden in a very secure place. Without the key, no one could hope to open the safe.

"Gentlemen, no need to be nervous, I believe this box must hold many interesting secrets, right?"

Ling Zhenfei saw their nervous expressions and a cold smile flickered through his eyes.

When he had entered the room, Ling Zhenfei had already scanned the safe with his Perspective Eye, and, naturally, the secrets inside the safe couldn't escape his supernatural vision.

"What are you talking about? You're not welcome here, please leave immediately!"

The moment Zhou Hongsheng's gaze met Ling Zhenfei's, he was so frightened that he shivered and dared not look again, only managing to roar a threat.

"Heh heh, Director Zhou, I forgot to mention earlier that I am a very curious person. I won't leave easily without opening this safe and discovering its secrets."

Ling Zhenfei completely ignored his warning and, as he spoke, reached out to try and open the safe's lock.

"What are you doing? Don't mess with the safe, or I'll call the police! Security! Security!"

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei was actually trying to open the safe, although they knew he couldn't possibly succeed, the Zhou brothers still panicked like ants on a hot pan and nearly jumped up.

However, before the security could rush in, they heard a "creak", and just like magic, Ling Zhenfei had the safe door opened in no time.

Ah!

Upon seeing this, the Zhou brothers were terrified, their faces suddenly turning pale as they gasped in cold air and both rushed forward trying to stop him.

"Oh, what's this? Such a big pile, looks like account books, huh?"

Ling Zhenfei had already targeted the account books; as soon as the safe was open, he had grabbed them and proudly shook them at the Zhou brothers.

"Don't move, put it down!" By now, the Zhou brothers were so terrified they were virtually soulless, but their actions were simply too slow. Just as they reached Ling Zhenfei, he deftly dodged them.

"Quick, stop him!"

At this moment, a group of security guards had burst in, and Zhou Hongsheng was frantically yelling at them.

Thud! Thud!

Zhou Hongsheng initially thought these security guards were his last line of defense, but unexpectedly, as soon as they made contact with Ling Zhenfei, he knocked them all to the ground with a few moves.

"Director Zhou, you might as well send this useless group away! You see, I am quite sincere about discussing a partnership with you!"

Ling Zhenfei once again shook the account books in his hand at Zhou Hongsheng and sat down in his executive chair, wearing a complacently contented expression.

"You... you dare..."

Zhou Hongsheng was so angry he felt like his lungs would burst, but that account book was his Achilles' heel. Now that it was in Ling Zhenfei's hands, he had no choice but to comply and yelled at the group of security guards, "Useless trash, all of you get out!"

Once the security guards had all gone, Zhou Hongsheng then managed to squeeze out a smile uglier than crying and pleaded with Ling Zhenfei, "Mr. Ling, we have no past grievances, why must you do this? Please, just give the account book back to me!"

"I can certainly give you the account book, but about the ten percent price increase, and the contract..."

Ling Zhenfei intentionally flipped through the account book loudly, his eyes wickedly fixed on Zhou Hongsheng.

"This..."

At this point, Zhou Hongsheng felt so aggrieved he wanted to bang his head against the wall, but with his fate in Ling Zhenfei's hands, he felt utterly powerless to resist.

Feeling desperate, he said in extreme dejection, "Fine, Mr. Ling, I agree to your terms. Just give me the account book back, whatever the conditions."

"Heh, that's good to hear. However, I can't give you this account book just yet. What if you go back on your word?"
