"What did you say?"
Huang Jin stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock and anger as he asked loudly.
The servant hurriedly said again, "A young man who seems to be under thirty forced his way in, and even Captain Feng was killed by him."
Huang Jin’s face turned pale, and he said in disbelief, "Captain Feng is a powerhouse in the Dark Energy Late Stage Realm, and even he couldn’t stop the intruder?"
Father and daughter, Su Wu and Su Nanzhi, exchanged a glance, both eyes filled with surprise.
Under thirty, could it be, the plainly dressed young man they encountered at the doorway earlier?
The same suspicion surfaced in the minds of both father and daughter.
Ouyang Mei raised her eyebrows and chided Huang Jin, "What’s there to panic about? It’s just a young man under thirty. No matter how formidable he is, could he really be a match for Old Liu?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Jin’s complexion somewhat improved, but worry was still evident on his face.
He was by nature a low-key person, whereas Ouyang Mei had grown increasingly arrogant over the years, relying on her sister being the wife of the Chen Family Head. This had led to numerous provocations.
But someone daring to break into the Huang Family and commit murder was unheard of.
Huang Jin always felt an unsettling feeling in his heart, as if some big disaster was about to occur.
"Director Su, perhaps you should go back and think it over? I’ll discuss it further with my wife, and we can talk about the collaboration another day?"
Huang Jin turned to Su Wu, his face full of sincerity.
He also felt that Ouyang Mei’s terms were a bit much, but for the sake of face, he was reluctant to take a stand in public.
Seeing that the real decision-maker in the Huang Family was Ouyang Mei, Su Wu nodded upon hearing what Huang Jin said and replied, "I appreciate that, Patriarch Huang!"
"Wait!"
Just as he was about to leave with Su Nanzhi, Ouyang Mei’s voice suddenly rang out from behind, "The terms I proposed earlier still stand. If Director Su is willing, we can sign the contract now. If not, there’s no need to discuss it ever again."
Ouyang Mei’s attitude was very firm, leaving no room for face.
Su Wu’s expression turned extremely ugly as he looked at Huang Jin with a pleading face.
Huang Jin’s gaze intentionally wandered elsewhere, not daring to speak.
Su Wu understood that the collaboration with the Huang Family was likely going to fall through.
If he really agreed to Ouyang Mei’s terms, not only would Su Surname Construction Materials not survive, it would die even faster.
With this thought, Su Wu wanted to fight for it one last time and said through gritted teeth, "Madame Huang, I am willing to decrease the purchase price by five percent..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Ouyang Mei, "Don’t you understand human speech? I said ten percent, and it must be ten percent!"
The faces of the Su family father and daughter were extremely dark, and Su Wu, containing his fury, said through gritted teeth, "If that’s the case, then our cooperation is off. We take our leave!"
After speaking, he turned to leave.
But just then, Ouyang Mei let out a cold laugh, "Did I let you leave?"
Su Wu and Su Nanzhi stopped in their tracks, both looking at Ouyang Mei with puzzled faces.
Even Huang Jin did not understand his wife’s intention, his face full of doubt.
A cold smile curled on Ouyang Mei’s lips as she stared at Su Wu, "The cooperation we’ve agreed upon, how could you just not sign when you say you won’t sign?"
Su Wu frowned, "What exactly do you mean?"
"From Su Surname Construction Materials, Huang Family will reduce another ten percent from the purchase price. Here’s the contract, sign it whenever you are ready, and then you may leave."
Ouyang Mei casually tossed a file folder at Su Wu’s feet.
Su Wu didn’t bother to pick it up, since he already knew the contents, what was the point in looking?
Su Wu looked coldly at Ouyang Mei and said, "Are you trying to force a sale?"
"Hmph!"
Ouyang Mei said with an arrogant face, "Behind the Huang Family is the Chen Family. It’s an honor for Su Surname Construction Materials to cooperate with the Huang Family."
"Just sign the contract obediently, and Su Surname still has a chance to rely on the Huang Family. But if you dare refuse, do you believe that with just one sentence, I can make Su Surname Construction Materials go bankrupt?"
"You..."
Consumed by anger, Su Wu shook all over, pointing at Ouyang Mei he managed to utter just one word, but the rest of his sentence couldn’t come out at all.
It was not that he wouldn’t speak, but that he dared not speak.
Ouyang Mei was notoriously domineering, having once, on a whim, wiped out a well-known enterprise in a provincial city.
Though Su Surname Construction Materials was not weak, it was nothing in front of the Huang Family.
With Ouyang Mei’s arrogance, if he dared not sign this overbearing contract, she really would cause Su Surname Construction Materials to go bankrupt.
Su Nanzhi said with a face full of anger, "Dad, if we sign this contract, Su Surname Construction Materials is finished anyway. Since we’re doomed whether we sign it or not, why should we swallow our pride?"
After hearing his daughter’s words, it was as if Su Wu had an epiphany. His eyes bloodshot, he looked at his daughter and said, "You’re right, if we’re going to die either way, why should we let the wicked rejoice?"
Having said that, he looked up at Ouyang Mei, his eyes no longer showing any hint of submission, and said coldly, "Ouyang Mei, remember my words, being too arrogant as a person will sooner or later cost you dearly!"
"One sentence from you can bankrupt Su Surname Construction Materials, but one day, someone will say just one sentence that will leave you with no place to be buried!"
Ouyang Mei had not expected Su Wu to dare to speak to her like this, and her face twisted with rage as she bellowed, "Come here!"
Two burly men immediately walked in: "Madame!"
Looking at the two burly men, Su Wu’s face was filled with fear, and he suddenly regretted saying what he just had.
Ouyang Mei said through gritted teeth, "Grab that woman for me!"
"Yes!"
The two burly men stepped forward and headed towards Su Nanzhi.
Su Wu’s face changed dramatically, and he pushed Su Nanzhi away fiercely, yelling, "Nanzhi, run!"
But it was all too late, as the two burly men had already caught Su Nanzhi.
Su Nanzhi’s face was full of panic; she struggled while shouting, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
"Let go of my daughter!"
With a loud shout, Su Wu charged towards the two burly men.
"Bang!"
One of the burly men kicked Su Wu in the stomach, and Su Wu was sent flying, spitting out blood.
"Dad!"
Su Nanzhi cried out.
One of the burly men put his foot on Su Wu’s head; Su Wu struggled frantically but couldn’t break free, and his face rubbed against the ground, bleeding.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Let go of my daughter!"
Ouyang Mei sneered and said, "To you, your daughter is the most precious, isn’t she?"
Then, she swayed her corpulent body and walked up to Su Nanzhi.
Instantly desperate, Su Wu asked with a trembling voice, "What are you going to do?"
Ouyang Mei picked up a fruit knife from the table beside her, tapped it a few times on Su Nanzhi’s face, and revealed a devilish smile, "Such a pretty face, what a pity..."
Just as her words fell, the fruit knife in her hand suddenly slashed across.
"No..."
Su Wu let out a heart-wrenching scream.
