Chapter 198 I'm completely convinced, there's no other choice!
Chapter 198 I'm completely convinced, there's no other choice!
Xu Ye scoffed: "The business world is like a battlefield; all's fair in war, and no means are too cruel."
"Isn't this what I learned from you, Mr. Wang!"
Wang Mingsheng leaned back against the sofa, his entire body collapsing to the ground, no longer clinging to any hope.
He was convinced; this Xu guy looked young, but his methods were extremely ruthless.
From the moment he invited me to a banquet, the net he had woven had already opened a gap, just waiting for me to be dragged in step by step.
Moreover, he knew better than anyone that he would not refuse, because of Yang Ling as bait, and even if it was just to find out his background, he would definitely come to the drinking party.
In other words, this is a dead end that was predetermined from the very beginning.
Even if Yang Ling made a foolish mistake along the way, it was merely a case of turning the tables and perfectly lowering his guard.
But he's so young, where did he get such clever and ruthless methods from?
Is he really just a young man in his early twenties?
He looked at Xu Ye dejectedly, and said with a sense of loss and despair, "You won, but are you sure you can really protect me?"
Xu Ye shook his head, looking down at him condescendingly, and said, "The only one who can protect you is yourself, not me."
“You’re a smart man. I don’t believe that after following Li Jinyun and Hongsheng for so many years, you don’t have any dirt on them.”
Wang Mingsheng suddenly raised his head: "What... what do you mean? You still want me to help you with Miss Li?"
Xu Ye finally revealed his ferocious fangs: "Otherwise what? Who else do you expect to protect you for life? Including the lives of your whole family?"
Seeing Xu Ye's murderous intent and cold, indifferent demeanor, Wang Mingsheng finally realized that he had still underestimated his opponent.
What help would it provide to the Yang family?
What about 50 billion or 10 billion? Maybe his goal... from the very beginning, was the Li family, the entire Li family!
Not only was Wang Mingsheng shocked, but Yang Ling also looked at Xu Ye with disbelief.
After all, it was already quite audacious to try and snatch food from Hongsheng, or even the Li family. Who would have thought that Xu Ye would not only do that, but also try to take Li Jinyun...
But this undoubtedly explains her inner question: why would Xu Ye help her and the Li family?
Because we have a common enemy.
But the Li family!
What exactly is Xu Ye's identity? Does he really have that kind of confidence?
Just as she was thinking this, Wang Mingsheng finally spoke: "Xu Ye, you want to use me to bring down the Li family, but when I face the Li family's retaliation, you want me to figure it out myself?"
"You can't get something for nothing like this. Don't you think you're being a bit too greedy?"
Are you greedy?
Xu Ye said nonchalantly, "That still can't compare to your Hongsheng, or even the Li family."
"The investment of over a billion yuan not only embezzled more than 30 billion yuan from the major wealthy families in Jiangcheng, but also had no bottom line, using the municipal government as a pawn in an attempt to swallow up the entire Yang family."
"If this is what I call greed, then what are you?"
"Greedy? Ambitious but treacherous?"
Wang Mingsheng was speechless.
Indeed, compared to his methods, and even those of Hongsheng and the Li family, Xu Ye's actions could be considered excessive.
That's incredibly kind!
"Of course, you can also choose to refuse."
Xu Ye's voice continued, "I've said before, if you want to leave, it's a very simple matter. Just open the door, and I won't stop you."
After saying that, he raised his hand as a gesture.
Seeing that the other party did not make a move, Xu Ye sneered: "President Wang, you are a smart man, and you know very well the consequences of you walking out of this door."
"Cooperate with me, and you'll have at least a chance to survive if you bring down Li Jinyun. Refuse?"
"I don't need to tell you the consequences; you know them better than anyone else."
"So don't talk about whether I'm greedy or not. This is for your own good. I didn't force you."
Wang Mingsheng laughed angrily.
You didn't force me?
If it weren't for you, would I have ended up in this situation?
But arguing about this is pointless. We're all adults, and he understands the principle of "the winner takes all."
However, he was very hesitant, after all, just as Yang Ling thought, that was the Li family!
The man surnamed Xu might not be afraid; who is he anyway?
What qualifications does he have to stand up to the Li family?
At this moment, Xu Ye's voice came again: "Perhaps if I put it another way, you can accept it more easily."
"Even if I can't take down the Li family, I can at least severely weaken them."
"When I take over Hongsheng Real Estate, you will manage it for me and replace Shen Zhilan."
"So, are you okay with that?"
Wang Mingsheng's heart skipped a beat: "You're so confident? And you're willing to use me?"
Xu Ye smiled and said, "You said it yourself, I'm definitely going to invest in helping the Yang family. If I didn't have enough confidence, I might not have helped the Yang family."
"As for using you?"
There is no personal grudge between us, only a conflict of positions.
"What happened tonight shows that you are a smart person with enough ability and skill. Why wouldn't I want to use someone as talented as you?"
Wang Mingsheng's breathing became rapid instantly.
Of course, he also has ambitions. If Xu Ye is really confident enough and willing to use him, why not take a gamble?
Of course, the most important point is that he had no other choice at all.
So without much hesitation, he quickly made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I promise you. What do you want to know from me?"
Yang Ling stood to the side, completely at a loss for words.
To be honest, when Wang Mingsheng refused to yield even in the face of death, she had already decided to give up.
After all, they're not afraid of death, so what can you do?
To everyone's surprise, with Xu Ye's step-by-step actions, he managed to subdue the other party in no time.
Moreover, it wasn't just about helping them solve the Jiangxin Bridge problem; it was a complete betrayal of the Li family and Li Jinyun!
What is his background?
Yang Ling became increasingly curious about Xu Ye.
Xu Ye had no idea what Yang Ling was thinking. He said, "No rush. Since you've agreed, as a token of my sincerity, I hope you can do me a favor and get Li Ming's wife and children out first."
"After all, this is no small matter between us. Without even this basic pledge of loyalty, I neither dare nor can I trust you. Don't you agree?"
Wang Mingsheng understood this, of course, and nodded, saying, "No problem, but this will take time, and I must personally handle it."
Xu didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "This is a good time for you to go back and think it over carefully, and see if you want to join forces with us."
Wang Mingsheng wanted to say something, but Xu Ye stopped him: "No need to explain. I, Xu Ye, have enough magnanimity. I'll wait for you to think it through."
Despite saying that, Wang Mingsheng knew very well that from the moment he stepped into the Jiangcheng Hotel, he had no choice at all.
He gave Xu Ye a deep look, then said no more.
Turning to Yang Ling, he said sincerely, "President Yang, I was blind to your greatness before and offended you greatly."
"Once this matter is over, I will definitely find a way to make amends."
After saying this, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Xu Ye: "Tomorrow at the latest, Mr. Xu, wait for my news!"
After saying that, he didn't linger and strode out of the suite.
