210 Living Too Long
The twenty-minute journey was fleeting.
“Okay, I’ll give you a chance to tour.” There was hypocrisy in Victor’s words. “But I hope you can give me a result that pleases me.”
There was a group of bodyguards behind the three of them. In order to stall for time, they could only pretend to visit.
“Hurry up and think of something.” There was a hint of fear in Mu Wei’s voice. “We’ll give an answer when we turn back. We’ll have to decide whether to agree or not.”
Zhou Xuan took in his calmness and his eyes were filled with calmness. “Mu Wei, why are you still afraid? This isn’t like you.”
“President Zhou, don’t flatter me,” Mu Wei said timidly. He was already starting to panic. “Didn’t you arrange for someone to save us? Why aren’t they here yet? If they don’t appear, they’ll have to wait to collect my corpse.”
The corners of Shan Yue’s lips curled up slightly, and she looked calm. “President Mu, you don’t have to panic. You don’t have to say anything later. Just watch what I say.”
After walking around, Shan Yue still discovered two figures at the entrance. They were the people Carter had arranged.
“What do you think, all three of you? You’ve seen it all now.” Victor looked smug as he danced with the gun in his hand. “It’s about time you told me your answers.”
“Of course.” Shan Yue’s lips curled into an evil smile. “Our answer is… rejection!”
Mu Wei, who was beside her, opened his mouth in disbelief when he heard the rejection. He went to Shan Yue’s side. “Why did you reject him? Wouldn’t we all die?”
Shan Yue stared into Victor’s eyes and deliberately raised her voice. “I had no intention of agreeing to it from the beginning. We had initially agreed with 1.5 billion yuan. Yet we were placed under house arrest when we arrived in Las Vegas. The price rose to two billion yuan and we were forced to sign the contract with our lives at stake. This is not in line with the rules of business. It’s simply daydreaming.”
Anger gradually burned in Victor’s eyes as he frowned. “How dare you reject me? Looks like you’re really not afraid of death.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed the black muzzle at the three people opposite him.
Shan Yue was really familiar with things like knives and guns. She would not be afraid in the face of guns at many life-and-death moments. Why would she be afraid of a young master of a family?
She smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a hand holding her back.
“At a time like this, we shouldn’t let a woman take the front.” Zhou Xuan pulled Shan Yue behind him, leaving a space. He took a step forward, his tall figure giving people a strong sense of security.
A small action made Shan Yue’s silent heart flutter.
Victor looked at Zhou Xuan, his eyes filled with malice. “President Zhou, do you have the same intention as this lady?”
Zhou Xuan’s brows flickered with determination and calmness. “That’s right.”
“Then don’t blame me for offending you.” Victor’s cold face curled into a smile. “You already know what I’ve done. Forgive me for not being able to spare your lives.”
The killing intent in his eyes grew stronger, and he pulled the safety on his gun.
“Victor, stop.” Carter and the two of them emerged from a corner by the wall. “I didn’t expect you to use such a method to force someone to sign a contract. You’re really embarrassing our Smith family.”
Victor watched as the two VCRs beside him filmed the scene. He quickly put his gun away to prevent it from being caught. Unfortunately, it was too late. He didn’t know that the entire process had been recorded.
“How did you get in here?” A look of horror crossed Victor’s face. “Security, security!”
Before he could finish shouting, the security guards at the door were instantly broken through. Zhou Xuan’s men surrounded the entire hall. A row of people stood in front of Zhou Xuan and controlled all of Victor’s bodyguards.
“Stop struggling.” He Sheng’s face was serious. “Your company really has the guts to put our President Zhou under house arrest. Do you think you’ve lived too long?”
Victor didn’t even react to the sudden change in the situation. Facing the situation in front of him, he didn’t know what to do.
