Qiu Tianyi’s legs felt somewhat weak as he slowly walked toward the bar and sat down opposite the towering man.
A moment later, a glass of whiskey was placed in front of him, but Qiu Tianyi had completely forgotten what his purpose for coming was.
It wasn’t until the other party spoke first, "May I ask what Mr. Qiu’s purpose for visiting is?"
Qiu Tianyi, holding his glass, then said, "Well... I wanted to ask..."
However, before Qiu Tianyi could finish speaking, several men in black suddenly entered the living room, their hands covered in fresh blood, and said to the tall man, "Boss Yan, they are all dead."
"If they’re dead, then handle it," the man surnamed Yan said. That second, he glanced at Qiu Tianyi and saw his face turn pale and break out in cold sweat.
"Okay," a few men sinisterly walked out, and then, the man continued to look at Qiu Tianyi.
"Mr. Qiu, please continue."
"I...," Qiu Tianyi stammered, barely able to hold his glass steady.
"Ah, I heard you want to buy Peak, right?" the man finished the sentence for him.
"What’s your offer?" the man asked again.
"After all, it’s a new company... I... I can offer sixty million," Qiu Tianyi said, his mind overheated, his body weak, completely unaware of what he was saying.
At that moment, the man chuckled and said, "Mr. Qiu, do you know how much this estate of mine is worth? The price you are offering wouldn’t even buy half an item in my vault. Are you looking down on me? How about this, I triple it and buy your Qiu Group. How does that sound?"
Qiu Tianyi, suddenly frightened by the man’s tone, anxiously swallowed.
"I... It was presumptuous of me. Since Mr. Yan isn’t selling, then I..."
"Stay for dinner," the man suddenly said. "Since you’re here, have a simple meal before leaving."
"No, no, I have other commitments this evening, next time... another time," Qiu Tianyi said, and then he immediately rolled off the chair.
The man hurried over to help, but Qiu Tianyi declined.
He ran faster than anything, embarrassing himself by offering a mere sixty million for a company, as if this were a vegetable market.
Finally, as the private car was taking Qiu Tianyi away, it happened to pass by the scene where the men in black were digging a pit, frightening Qiu Tianyi out of his wits, wanting nothing more than to escape for his life.
But actually, those men had only dealt with a batch of rats...
The digging was not for burying the rats— that would not be environmentally friendly— but because... new saplings were coming in tomorrow.
After Qiu Tianyi left, the tall man leaned against the bar, feeling very pleased, and called Yan Shixiu with a relaxed tone, "You gave me a toy that isn’t fun at all. It can’t stand a scare, and moreover, wanting to buy Peak for just sixty million? Who gave him the courage?"
"I had someone look into Qiu Group. I thought of buying it just for fun, but it’s all show and no substance, forget it," Boss Yan also spoke with a tone of not wanting to deal with stupidity.
"What did this guy do to you?"
"Called me an old man, does that count?" Boss Yan retorted, and then hung up.
The man put down the phone, puzzled, "Get scared into fleeing just because he was called an old man? Boss Yan has quite the temper."
After Qiu Tianyi "crawled and tumbled" away from the villa area, he was so flustered he couldn’t even hold his phone steady and barely managed to call his assistant, instructing him to investigate further the person behind Peak, to discover their real background.
However, the assistant straightforwardly said, "Mr. Qiu, it’s not that I won’t look into it, but I simply can’t find anything. There’s no information online, as if it has been erased. Could we have offended some important figure?"
