Ling Yun's voice became louder and louder as he said the last four sentences. His voice was so loud that it pierced through the entire banquet hall, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz!
The banquet hall was silent once again!
"Hiss …"
Following that, gasps could be heard from every corner of the banquet hall!
"Wow!"
Then, there was a wave of exclamations!
Everyone in the banquet hall, especially the hundreds of people who had witnessed the entire process, had the same expression in their eyes as long as they could see Ling Yun!
Fear!
Everyone saw how Ling Yun dealt with Li Jiujiang. Even though Ling Yun was merciless, decisive, and didn't give Li Jiujiang any chance to turn the tables, everyone knew that Li Jiujiang deserved it. He deserved to die, and being taken away by the police was already a blessing for him.
However, between Xie Zhenting and Gou Liancheng, one was the deputy mayor of Qingshui City, and the other was a tycoon of Qingshui City. Most of the people present didn't know what kind of grudge they had with Ling Yun.
When everyone first saw Ling Yun bringing Tang Meng over to greet Xie Zhenting and Gou Liancheng, they really thought that they had a good relationship with each other.
Who knew that things would develop beyond everyone's expectations. Ling Yun only said one sentence to each of them, and Gou Liancheng kowtowed to Ling Yun, admitting his mistakes, and offered all of his assets to Ling Yun!
Many of the people present knew that Ling Yun had amazing medical skills. When his clinic opened, the gifts he received were heaven-defying. Who knew how many people were envious of him? Moreover, he even got the Imperial Green Stone King from the Antique Market in Qingshui City!
To put it simply, in the eyes of those in the know, Ling Yun didn't lack money, he had it all!
Therefore, many people instinctively thought that Ling Yun wouldn't ask for Gou Liancheng's assets in front of more than three hundred people present. That would inevitably lower Ling Yun's status and status.
Who knew that Ling Yun didn't reject it and accepted it calmly?
Later on, after hearing the conversation between both parties, everyone understood that both parties had an irreconcilable grudge. Ling Yun actually wanted to take revenge for his people.
Who didn't know that Gou Liancheng was a tycoon of Qingshui City with at least a few billion yuan in assets? Even those who knew the inside story knew that Gou Liancheng was having a tough time and was on the verge of collapse. However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse!
If anyone were to obtain all of Gou Liancheng's assets, even if they didn't manage them and just auctioned them off, it would still be worth more than a billion yuan!
In Huaxia, if one had more than a billion yuan, he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life!
However, Gou Liancheng would rather give everything to Ling Yun, all for the sake of saving his brother and his son's life!
Everyone was envious and felt that Ling Yun had profited greatly from this deal. Kowtowing and admitting his mistake was a great humiliation for him to be stripped of his billions of assets. If it had been anyone else, they would have agreed to it on the spot even if there were ten or twenty more conditions, for fear that Gou Liancheng would go back on his word.
Moreover, after Gou Liancheng gave away all his assets, the entire Gou Family would be completely crippled. They would no longer be a threat to Ling Yun!
In the eyes of ordinary people, an astronomical amount of assets was only for Ling Yun to cure his illness and spare his life. Many people felt that it was not worth it for Gou Liancheng.
After all, Gou Liancheng was only in his forties. Even if he couldn't win against Ling Yun, he could still sell his assets and leave Qingshui City to start a new life somewhere else!
Moreover, in Huaxia, a society governed by law, would Ling Yun really dare to kill Gou Liancheng's son? Probably not, right?
Moreover, even if Ling Yun was ruthless enough to kill Gou Liancheng's son, Gou Liancheng wouldn't dare to seek revenge. At the very least, he could have more children. He was so rich that he could get any woman he wanted!
There were definitely many people in the banquet hall who had the same idea. However, these people did not understand the following points.
They didn't understand the feud between Ling Yun and Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan.
They didn't know that Gou Liancheng had already become a eunuch through and through. Not to mention having children, he couldn't even get artificial insemination. This was all thanks to Ling Yun!
They also didn't know that if Ling Yun and Tang Meng didn't agree, Gou Liancheng wouldn't even be able to step out of his house, much less leave Qingshui City!
In the end, Ling Yun really dared to kill. Up until now, hundreds of lives had been taken by Ling Yun. Adding Gou Junfa wouldn't make much of a difference!
Others might not know this, but Xie Zhenting and Gou Liancheng were as clear as a mirror in their hearts!
Ling Yun accepted Gou Liancheng's kowtow as an apology and accepted all of Gou Liancheng's assets. At the same time, he agreed to his first condition. Just when everyone thought that Ling Yun would naturally spare Gou Junfa's life, who knew that there would be a shocking reversal!
Gou Liancheng's second and final condition was rejected by Ling Yun without hesitation. Moreover, it was a firm and resolute refusal that did not allow for any room for discussion!
There was only one reason, and that was for his brother!
Not only did the three hundred guests in the banquet hall not expect this, but even Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and Abing didn't expect this!
"How ruthless! How much hatred does he have? Gou Liancheng is so rich, but he still couldn't save his son's life? "
"That's right, I don't believe that Ling Yun would dare to kill anyone. Look, Li Tian was so arrogant, and Li Jiujiang was so shameless, but Ling Yun didn't kill them either, right?"
"As the saying goes, it's not too much to kill someone. Gou Liancheng is already in such a state, but Ling Yun still won't let his son off. This is a little too much …"
Some of the guests who didn't know the situation started to discuss and express their dissatisfaction in a low voice.
"Be careful of your loose lips. If you don't know what's going on, then shut up. Otherwise, you might become the next Li Jiujiang and Gou Liancheng!"
These were the people who had some inside information. With fear in their eyes, they cautiously reminded the people around them.
"What do you know? Back then, when Ling Yun wasn't in Qingshui City, Ling Yun's people were bullied by the Xie Family, Luo Zhong, and the Gou Family. Did you see how badly they were bullied? Did you hear? "
"Tang Meng had his limbs broken in front of everyone by the sons of the Xie Family and the Gou Family. If it were your own children, would you not take revenge?"
These were the people who knew the details of the previous incident. They strongly supported Ling Yun's actions.
"Hmph!"
Tie Xiaohu's body was like an iron tower as he stood on the stage. He let out a cold snort, but he used his internal energy to make it sound like he was shouting!
All the guests below the stage were so scared that they were speechless. No matter what they thought, the fear was real.
No one in Qingshui City or even the entire Jiangnan Province could afford to offend Ling Yun!
That included Ling Yun's family, brothers, and friends!
In order to wash away the humiliation and take revenge for his brother, even if it was ten billion, or even a hundred billion, he would do it regardless of whether or not he agreed to it!
He didn't care about being misunderstood by others and wasn't afraid of being scolded!
Once and for all, once and for all! This was the effect that Ling Yun wanted to achieve!
At this moment, Gou Liancheng, who was paralyzed on the ground, had never expected this outcome!
In fact, he knew better than anyone else that the mistake that he and his son had made was indeed hard to forgive, especially by someone like Ling Yun.
The reason why he dared to raise the second condition was obviously to prevent him from having no descendants. However, there were also two reasons.
First, three months had passed since the incident. In these three months, no matter how much he struggled or resisted, he was always the one on the losing end. It was time for Ling Yun's people to vent some of their anger.
Moreover, so much time had passed, and whatever hatred there was would gradually fade away. At the very least, everyone could negotiate peacefully.
Second, Ling Yun's side was no longer the same as before. Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao controlled Qingshui City. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they could cover the sky with one hand.
Tang Meng's reputation in the upper-class circle of Qingshui City was booming. He was now the true Young Master of the Tang Family. He was in the limelight!
As for Ling Yun, there was no need to mention him. Even though it was only the tip of the iceberg, as long as Ling Yun stomped his feet in Qingshui City, the entire Jiangnan Province would tremble!
Of course, Ling Yun could probably cause half of Huaxia to tremble no matter where he stomped his feet! This was something that Gou Liancheng really didn't know.
Ling Yun was too strong now. In Ling Yun's eyes, Gou Liancheng was just an ant that he could crush with a wave of his hand. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. He hoped that Ling Yun would be too arrogant to deal with him.
In other words, Gou Liancheng hoped that Ling Yun would treat him like a fart and let him go.
It was precisely because of these two points that Gou Liancheng had no choice but to kowtow and admit his mistake. He gave away all his assets and dared to raise the last condition.
Gou Liancheng was a leading figure in the business world. He was extremely shrewd. When he raised the condition, he was very serious about it.
He first raised a condition that Ling Yun would definitely agree to. Then, he raised a condition that Ling Yun could reluctantly agree to. This not only allowed Ling Yun to gain a lot of face but also put Ling Yun in a difficult position. It carried a hint of blackmail.
If he wasn't so shrewd, Gou Liancheng wouldn't be where he was today and his business wouldn't be so big.
However, even if Gou Liancheng had calculated everything, he had forgotten one thing. Or rather, he had underestimated one thing. He had underestimated Ling Yun's style.
To Ling Yun, one was one, two was two. One was another!
He would agree to things that he should agree to, but he would never agree to things that he shouldn't agree to!
Ling Yun was a cultivator who cultivated the Dao of the Heart. The most important thing was to have a clear mind. Ling Yun wouldn't allow his own brother to suffer for the rest of his life because of his so-called soft-heartedness!
Furthermore, if Ling Yun were to give up on revenge for the sake of some money, he would be planting an inner demon in his heart. If he were to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation again, he would still end up with his body and soul destroyed!
Ling Yun heard every single word of the discussions around him clearly. However, he only smiled faintly and couldn't be bothered with them. (To be continued.)
