Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine's Poisonous Stepmother-Chapter 70: 30 Billion to Find Xiao Qingxue

Of the nineteen mercenaries in Ye Chens mercenary group, fifteen were dead, and the remaining four were no longer a threat in Chen Luos eyes. He was confident that with Bai Meixiangs capabilities, it wouldnt take long to locate these four.

Chen Luo had effectively neutralized one of Ye Chens main supports, and he was in high spirits. Not long after Chen Luo and Chun Mei returned, Xiao Yongqiang and Ye Chen came to visit.

Should we let them in? Zhao Yingxuan asked Chen Luo. fre ewebn ovel

Xiao Yongqiang is probably here for Xiao Qingxue. I think its pointless to keep her with us any longer, Chen Luo remarked. He suspected Xiao Yongqiangs visit was about Xiao Qingxue, while Ye Chen was likely concerned about his subordinates.

Do you really want to release Xiao Qingxue? Zhao Yingxuan asked, understanding the implication of Chen Luos words.

Yes, but not without benefiting from it. We cant let her go for nothing. We need to maximize our gains.

Chen Luo wouldnt release Xiao Qingxue until he obtained enough from Xiao Yongqiang.

Ive actually enjoyed bullying Xiao Qingxue these days. Ill really miss it when shes gone.

Although Zhao Yingxuan felt a bit regretful, she wouldnt stand in the way of Chen Luos plans.

Moreover, Xiao Qingxue had been too obedient and subdued lately, which somewhat diminished Zhao Yingxuans interest in tormenting her. She hoped that once Xiao Qingxue was released, she would regain her icy, proud demeanor of a corporate CEO, making it more interesting to bully her.

Holding Xiao Qingxues Achilles heel, Zhao Yingxuan didnt believe she could escape her grasp. Releasing Xiao Qingxue was merely a change in their game, potentially leading to even more amusement.

Xia Lan, bring them in, Chen Luo instructed.

Then, Xia Lan led Xiao Yongqiang and Ye Chen inside. Upon entering, Ye Chen fixed Chen Luo with a murderous gaze.

You still look at me with such hostility, Chen Luo remarked, smiling warmly, a stark contrast to Ye Chens gloomy expression.

Chen Luo, did you kill my men? Ye Chen bluntly asked.

Such a direct question, Chen Luo thought, how could he possibly admit to it?

Your men? I dont understand what youre talking about. Chen Luos eyes remained calm and steady as he gazed back at Ye Chen, who didnt believe a word.

Ye Chens Blood Wolf mercenaries were no weaklings. Even unarmed, they were fierce, not fragile rabbits. Only Chen Luo and his two female companions could have efficiently eliminated his men.

I hope I dont find out it was you, Ye Chen threatened menacingly.

Chen Luo ignored Ye Chens threat, turning his attention to Xiao Yongqiang. He was eager to see what he could gain from him.

Chen Luo, release my daughter, and Ill give you anything you want, Xiao Yongqiang pleaded.

Chairman Xiao, your daughter isnt with me, but I can help you find her, Chen Luo responded, not admitting that Xiao Qingxue was in his hands.

Xiao Yongqiangs expression darkened at first, then relaxed considerably. It seemed Chen Luo was open to negotiation. Xiao Qingxue was in Chen Luos hands, and if he was willing to help, he could certainly find her.

What are your terms? Xiao Yongqiang asked, focusing intently on Chen Luo.

His daughter was his only child, and he couldnt afford to lose her. What would be the point of all his wealth if she were gone? And worse, it could end up in the hands of that despicable person.

Xiao Yongqiangs gaze briefly fell on Zhao Yingxuan, filled with anger. Just seeing Zhao Yingxuan made his blood pressure rise, the humiliation of being forced to wear a green hat was unbearable.

Zhao Yingxuan, noticing Xiao Yongqiangs look, provocatively narrowed her eyes and intentionally moved closer to Chen Luo, infuriating Xiao Yongqiang to the point of nearly vomiting blood.

Chen Luo watched Xiao Yongqiang, pondering his limits. Asking for too much might result in refusal, but too little would leave him dissatisfied.

Finally, Chen Luo showed three fingers to Xiao Yongqiang.

You want three billion? Xiao Yongqiang frowned, thinking Chen Luo was excessively greedy.

Chairman Xiao, youre thinking too small. Add a zero to that, thirty billion. Chen Luos greed exceeded Xiao Yongqiangs expectations. After all, Chen Luo was in dire need of funds, especially to secure a permanent villain aura to avoid being outsmarted. A permanent junior destiny antagonist aura required one hundred billion, so three thirty billion was still not enough.

Xiao Yongqiang sneered, I didnt expect you to be so greedy. Arent you worried about biting off more than you can chew? fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

Thirty billion, Chen Luo truly dared to ask for a high price.

Chairman Xiao should understand the importance of President Xiao. I believe she is indeed worth Thirty billion, especially considering the difficulty in helping you find her, Chen Luo firmly insisted on the sum.

If Chairman Xiao cant come up with the money, Im afraid I wont be able to help you find her. If something happens to President Xiao, it would be too late for regrets.

Are you threatening me? Xiao Yongqiang glared at Chen Luo. Let me warn you, if you dare harm a single hair on my daughter, I wont let you off.

Hearing Xiao Yongqiangs warning, Chen Luo smiled faintly. He thought, Ive already seen your daughters blood, what can you possibly do to me?

If Xiao Qingxue stayed longer with Chen Luo, perhaps she might return to Xiao Yongqiang with a grandchild.

If Chairman Xiao doesnt want my help in finding President Xiao, then please leave, Chen Luo said, adopting the posture of seeing off a guest.

Fine, thirty billion it is, Xiao Yongqiang agreed through gritted teeth.

The amount was significant even for him, the wealthiest man in Magic City, but it wasnt impossible to arrange. Xiao Qingxue was still in Chen Luos hands. What if he really did something drastic to her?

Good, Chairman Xiao, please transfer the funds. Once I receive the money, I assure you Ill help you find President Xiao.

Chen Luo was confident Xiao Yongqiang would agree. After all, Xiao Qingxue was too important to him, being his only heir.

Chen Luo was thrilled about getting thirty billion. In an instant, he had become a billionaire.

After the deal, Xiao Yongqiang left with Ye Chen, giving Chen Luo a deep, meaningful look before departing. Although he didnt voice any threats, his gaze was laden with them.

He actually agreed! Thirty billion is no small sum for him, Zhao Yingxuan was surprised at Chen Luos audacity and even more so that Xiao Yongqiang actually agreed.

It just shows how important Xiao Qingxue is to him. Besides, whats the use of money if you dont have the life to spend it? Chen Luo commented with a laugh.

Xiao Yongqiangs parting look clearly conveyed that Chen Luo might have the money but might not live to enjoy it.

Arent you afraid to take it?

What should I fear? Ive already cuckolded him, what else is there to fear? Chen Luo said, wrapping his arms around Zhao Yingxuan. He wasnt afraid of Xiao Yongqiangs threats. After all, Xiao Yongqiang would have probably tried to take him down already if not for Xiao Qingxue being in Chen Luos hands.

Since Xiao Qingxue will be released soon, let her keep you company, whispered Zhao Yingxuan in Chen Luos ear.

Oh, arent you jealous?

Jealous, yes, but my body cant handle it.

Zhao Yingxuan would have preferred to monopolize Chen Luo herself, but his robustness was simply too much for her.
