My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 157 - 154: Playing with Your Life, You’re Not Qualified
Chapter 157: Chapter 154: Playing with Your Life, You’re Not Qualified
"Who takes three, who takes seven?" Ruan Zonglin asked desperately.
Lin Zhenxin calmly turned her gaze, looking at the man with dreadlock hair.
"Naturally, the Ruan Family takes three, we take seven."
Ruan Zhiming’s hand never loosened, tightly clenched, lips pressed firmly.
His eyes suddenly fell on the private soldiers at the door.
A thought came to him.
Even if they agreed for now, so what?
As long as Elliott’s gun could move away from Zonglin’s head, they wouldn’t leave here alive!
Thinking this, Ruan Zhiming’s expression suddenly relaxed.
"Alright, three-seven split it is! I concede!"
"Since that’s the case, let’s sign the agreement!" Li Yanan turned to look at the bodyguard behind him, who quickly walked out.
Shortly after, he returned with a lawyer and another person!
When Ruan Zhiming saw that person, his eyes widened in shock!
It was the director of the Chinese Association in local Hui’an!
Hui’an was Vietnam’s earliest Chinese settlement, with many Chinese businessmen having settled there as early as the 17th century.
Over hundreds of years, the Chinese thrived there, creating a prosperous community.
The entire Hui’an City is divided into five districts, based on different Chinese ethnic divisions.
There are Fujian, Guangdong, Chaozhou, Hainan, and Hakka gangs, each establishing the Fujian Association, Guangdong Association, Chaozhou Association, Qiongzhou Association, and the overall Chinese Association!
The Chinese Association, being the common association for local Chinese, bears the responsibility of inheriting and developing Chinese culture!
Elliott could actually invite the director of the Chinese Association?
This made Ruan Zhiming panic!
Sometimes, disputes within the Chinese community aren’t easily resolved by law, but as long as the directors of the associations are present, it’s like having the clan leader there, their words are as solid as nails.
"Old Ruan." The Chinese Association director, with a snow-white goatee, squinted slightly as he sat at the head.
Usually arrogant, Ruan Zhiming didn’t dare have any retort.
"I’m here as a witness, other matters you solve among yourselves!"
The director stroked his white goatee, eyes closed, as if he didn’t see someone with a gun to their head.
The lawyer took the document from the briefcase and handed it to Ruan Zhiming.
Ruan Zhiming looked down at the document, sensing something was off.
"Did you all plan this out?"
This document was clearly prepared in advance, meaning Elliott was premeditated before arriving!
Clearly, he had the upper hand!
Jiang Dongting said nothing, but his left hand in black leather gloves was noticeable.
Ruan Zonglin’s teeth ground hard, eyes glaring fiercely at Li Yanan pointing a gun at him, seemingly forgetting, initially...
He was the one who provoked!
"Elder Ruan, please sign!" Li Yanan’s charming eyes now carried a hint of amusement.
Ruan Zhiming almost didn’t catch his breath, staring at him with a dark look.
In the end, he signed his name on the document.
And stamped the Ruan Family seal!
Because the director of the Chinese Association was present, regardless of the legal effect of the document...
In this investment project in Hui’an, the outcome for the Ruan Family and Jiang Lijin was destined to be a three-seven split profit!
Originally, Ruan Zhiming wanted to settle the matter using local methods, but never expected the opposing side would invite the director of the Chinese Association!
When did these three people’s connections grow so terrifyingly?
Ruan Zhiming felt increasingly frustrated, almost to the point of breaking down!
He watched Jiang Dongting rise, respectfully escorting the Chinese Association director out, veins bulging on his hand.
"Now, can you let Zonglin go?" Ruan Zhiming asked.
Li Yanan smiled at his words, but the next second, his smile faded as he pulled the trigger on his gun!
Even Lin Zhenxin was shocked by his action!
Wasn’t the agreement already signed?
Ruan Zonglin’s eyes widened in fear!
Ruan Zhiming almost knocked over the teapot in his hand.
A clicking sound was heard.
But no bullet was fired, and Ruan Zonglin was not shot dead!
The gun was empty!
No bullets inside!
"You’re not qualified for playing with life!" The gun spun in Li Yanan’s hand, bullets sliding from his sleeve.
They clattered on the ground, weighing on the Ruan father and son’s hearts!
Li Yanan had earlier unloaded the bullets into his sleeve when playing with the gun, and...
Even Lin Zhenxin, the closest, hadn’t noticed!
When Jiang Dongting returned, he saw the Ruan father and son looking ashen, glanced at the bullets on the ground...
"My brother loves to joke, Elder Ruan, please don’t mind!"
Jiang Dongting said in a deep voice, intentionally or not, as if adding fuel to the fire!
"Well, well, you all! Aren’t you afraid you came today... with no return?"
With a wave of his hand, Ruan Zhiming’s private soldiers stormed in from outside, military boots stomping loudly on the floor!
Soon, they surrounded them in a circle!
The situation tensed again!
Lin Zhenxin stood beside Li Yanan, eyes meeting those of the private soldiers with guns aimed at them.
Saying she wasn’t nervous would be a lie, but being beside Li Yanan, she quickly calmed down.
"Is Elder Ruan intending to break the agreement?" Li Yanan asked.
Ruan Zhiming’s face was dark, and after being taken advantage of earlier, Ruan Zonglin’s face was naturally unkind.
"That depends on your performance!"
The Ruan Family in Danang had been well-established over the years, never suffering such a loss before!
"Did Elder Ruan really think I’d come today with only the team outside?"
Li Yanan suddenly smirked, a sneer in his deep eyes.
"Ha, no matter how many you bring, I’ll ensure your people won’t leave alive!"
Ruan Zhiming’s words clearly showed his murderous intent!
"Didn’t Elder Ruan teach us rules from the start, is this the Ruan Family’s rule?"
Lin Zhenxin’s voice carried clear disdain, the so-called rules were merely a facade for ulterior motives!
"Shut up, this is no place for a woman to speak! Where’s your confidence?"
Ruan Zhiming snorted, but Li Yanan laughed upon hearing that.
From his suit pocket, he took out a silver chain necklace, its pendant a long whistle.
"It’s all yours." Jiang Dongting patted his shoulder.
"I am her confidence!"
Li Yanan put the long silver whistle on Lin Zhenxin, towering over her, admiring her long lashes.
Today Lin Zhenxin performed much calmer than he had imagined.
His hand fell gently on her head, a light pat, encouragement in his eyes, rich with laughter.
"Elder Ruan, there’s an old Chinese saying, ’Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will fight a hundred battles without danger.’ Quite unfortunately, we know you, but you do not know us!"
Lin Zhenxin stood between the two sides, her calm voice echoing through the hall.
"Precisely because of not knowing, is why today you have faced defeat after defeat!"
Lin Zhenxin’s hand stroked the whistle on her chest.
"Little girl, sharp-tongued!" Ruan Zhiming snorted, yet felt a twinge of intimidation.
Indeed, what she said was true.
Since the three of them entered the Vietnam market, or even now, the Ruan Family had investigated them countless times, but each time...
Returned fruitless!
There was too little valuable information, unclear how many troops they had in Vietnam!
"Thanks for the compliment, but..."
Lin Zhenxin clutched the whistle, turning to meet Li Yanan’s gaze.
"Are you sure, truly sure you can ensure we have no return?"
With that, Lin Zhenxin blew the silver whistle...
Her pale pink lips parted slightly, the whistle’s sound long and clear.
While the Ruan father and son looked down on her, the originally quiet surroundings outside, enclosed by three mountains, suddenly rustled.
At first, only one or two noticed.
But later, when all the private soldiers sensed something wasn’t right and looked around...
Ruan Zhiming’s smile froze abruptly.
Ignoring everything else, he glared at Lin Zhenxin and charged outside.
Outside, the noise became clearer!
Li Yanan, with Lin Zhenxin and Jiang Dongting, followed behind Ruan Zhiming, under the blue sky and white clouds, the scenery was beautiful beyond compare.
"You..." Ruan Zhiming suddenly turned, glaring viciously at the three.
"Elder Ruan just said, no matter how many we bring, we’d not return..."
Lin Zhenxin spoke with irony in her tone.
Causing Ruan Zhiming, who thought highly of himself, to feel a sense of belittlement!
"Then, Elder Ruan, guess how many we actually brought?"
Just as Li Yanan reached out to smooth Lin Zhenxin’s hair.
"Naughty!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Ruan Zhiming and Ruan Zonglin looked around, the dense forest blocking all enemy intelligence within sight.
When the Ruan Family chose this place as their base, they valued its defensible advantage.
But little did they expect, the advantage of being surrounded by mountains would be so deadly if utilized by the enemy!
How many did they bring?
This was something Ruan Zhiming wanted to know!
In contrast, Ruan Zonglin glared at Lin Zhenxin with malicious eyes reddened by anger!
"Ha, anyone can play tricks!"
Ruan Zonglin suddenly spoke, walking toward Lin Zhenxin, even reaching out to lift her chin with a flirtatious gesture!
"Try touching her and see?" Li Yanan’s voice suddenly came from the side.
His tall figure cast a long shadow, exuding intense oppressive force.
Lin Zhenxin coldly watched Ruan Zonglin with dreadlock hair, without retreating a step.
"I will touch!" Ruan Zonglin, with a dark face, said!
But before he could move closer, Li Yanan suddenly raised his hand with a gesture.
Almost instantly, a gunshot rang out!
