Chapter 171: Condition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Jun had a strong intuition that Wen Nian was still in the capital, but he remained clueless about the identity of the kidnapper. Feeling utterly helpless and frantic, he was akin to a headless fly, aimlessly searching and overwhelmed by panic that had reached its zenith.

Shen Gang forcefully pushed open the study door, only to be greeted by a dense cloud of smoke. Noticing the multitude of cigarette butts scattered on Shen Jun’s side, he realized the urgency of the situation. Without wasting any more time, he promptly approached and spoke, “Young Master, we have examined all the vehicles captured by the surveillance cameras during that time and there were three cars with their license plates covered.”

Only someone with malicious intent would go through the trouble of concealing their license plate! This is undoubtedly a valuable clue.

Shen Jun swiftly raised his gaze, his sense of urgency apparent as he inquired, “Have you managed to trace the whereabouts of the three cars?”

Shen Gang handed over the gathered information and explained, “These cars vanished from areas without any surveillance camera coverage. However, we were able to locate the driver of one of the cars and have brought him here. He should have valuable information regarding the situation.”

“Third Brother, bring him in!”

Upon receiving the instruction to bring in a middle-aged man, the individual outside was met with a middle-aged man who was already terrified by the sudden intrusion into his life in the middle of the night.

The few thousand yuan was indeed not easily earned. The middle-aged man’s legs trembled as he encountered Shen Jun’s fierce and menacing gaze. Overwhelmed by fear, he crumbled to the ground, lacking the composure to inquire about the other party’s identity. Gasping for breath, he pleaded, “Please, spare my life… I’ll tell you everything, just spare me…”

When Shen Jun heard this, he realized that this matter might be directed at him. He looked down at the driver and gritted his teeth. “Speak.”

The man trembled as he said everything that the other party wanted him to say.

Shen Jun casually picked up the ruby paperweight on the table and threw it hard on the ground. The gem fragments splattered all over the ground.

“Zhang Lin!”

3:30 A.M.

Zhang Lin was woken up by someone. He yawned, got out of bed, and casually put on a pair of long pants. Then, he walked to the study with his upper body bare.

Zhang Lin observed Shen Jun’s presence in the study, a malevolent expression adorning Shen Jun’s face. Undeterred, Zhang Lin greeted him with a smile. “Good evening. You arrived sooner than I anticipated. It seems I underestimated the significance of Wen Nian,” he remarked.

Shen Jun didn’t say anything else. He stared at Zhang Lin and asked, “Where is Wen Nian?”

Zhang Lin, who had been in a deep slumber, awakened groggily. To shake off the drowsiness, he nonchalantly lit a cigarette, taking a drag and exhaling a leisurely smoke ring.

Shen Jun rushed over and grabbed Zhang Lin’s neck. He exerted some strength and asked word by word, “Where is Wen Nian!”

Zhang Lin’s men immediately rushed forward to pull Shen Jun away.

Unfazed by the situation, Zhang Lin calmly waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to withdraw. Indifferently, he uttered, “I am easily overwhelmed by pressure, and if you continue to press on, I may become too nervous to recall anything.”

The veins on Shen Jun’s forehead pulsated with intensity, yet he reluctantly loosened his grip. “Will you tell me now?” he demanded.

Only then did Zhang Lin’s smile widen, and he responded, “Don’t worry. Out of respect for your Eldest Young Master, I would never allow any harm to befall your woman. She has been taken care of with utmost care. In fact, I’m afraid she won’t be willing to leave with you anymore.”

He could fool around with Zhang Lin for an entire day.

Confronted with Zhang Lin’s repugnant demeanor, Shen Jun contained his anger and inquired, “Tell me, what must I do to secure her release?”

Zhang Lin took two more puffs before saying slowly, “You destroyed my entire business. It’s not too much to break one of your hands, right?”

Aware that Zhang Lin was unlikely to have just one demand, Shen Jun pressed further, insisting, “Tell me all the conditions at once. What other terms are there?”

Zhang Lin glanced at Peng Can, a smirk playing on his lips. “Tsk, did you witness that? It’s truly invigorating to engage with individuals who possess intelligence!” he remarked.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Lin directed his gaze towards Shen Jun. “You obstructed my most lucrative avenue. Surely, you must compensate me, correct? Your land in the western suburbs…”

Zhang Lin, donning a self-assured expression, declared, “I am willing to offer a bid of 300 million for it. I assure you, 1 won’t allow you to suffer any losses.”

Following Shen Jun’s initial successful investment in the land in the western suburbs, he utilized the 300 million yuan he earned to participate in a substantial bid for a future large-scale amusement park.

Two years ago, the land was deemed a barren wasteland with little optimism. However, to everyone’s surprise, the government formulated a development plan for the area the following year. Consequently, various infrastructure projects were initiated, and construction efforts were in full swing. As a result, the initial investment of 300 million yuan had since grown to a valuation of 500 to 600 million yuan.

Shen Jun sneered. “Anything else?”

Zhang Lin spread out his hands and raised his eyebrows with a smile. “That’s all. Am I especially easy to talk to?”

Shen Jun locked eyes with Peng Can, who had already prepared a steel pipe. Without uttering a single word, Shen Jun seized the steel pipe and forcefully struck his left arm with it.

Crack! The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

Beads of sweat instantly formed on Shen Jun’s forehead as he spoke through gritted teeth, his voice strained, “Release her. Tomorrow, I will arrange for the land to be transferred to your name.”

Zhang Lin immediately applauded and said in admiration, “Young Hero Shen is gentle and loyal. 1 admire you! I know that you have always kept your word in the business world. I believe you, but you have to sign the agreement first..”
