Chapter 753: One billion in assets 2

"All right then." Ling Ao said, "I’ll pass on the message for you."

"Brother Ling, thank you so much," Bei Song said with a wry smile.

After hanging up the phone, Bei Song flopped down into his executive chair and, seeing Bei Yin and her brother standing opposite him, felt his anger surge and roared, "What are you still doing here? Get out and go reflect on your actions. Remember this, without my permission, neither of you are allowed to go out on your own."

Knowing their father was fuming, Bei Yin and her brother didn’t dare talk back and hurried out of the office.

Meanwhile, back at the Ling Corporation building, Ling Ao put down his phone and shook his head with a smile. He knew this whole situation must have been triggered by that night at Junlin Hotel. However, he hadn’t expected Bei Yin and her brother to directly seek trouble with Leng Xuan. He was quite irked by their actions too, so he wasn’t about to plead on their behalf and wanted them to learn their lesson the hard way. Otherwise, he believed that a word from him would have been enough for Leng Xuan to save face.

Thinking back to what his father had told him last time, Ling Ao couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. His father’s trust in Leng Xuan was truly extraordinary, even surpassing his trust in his own son. But he had no complaints, for he believed in his father’s judgment and decisions. Picking up his phone, he dialed Leng Xuan’s number.

At that moment, Leng Xuan was in class. He felt his phone vibrate, glanced at it, and saw that it was Ling Ao calling. Excusing himself to use the restroom, he quickly left the classroom and answered the call, asking, "Uncle Ling, is something wrong?"

Ling Ao asked directly, "Leng Xuan, I heard you’re causing trouble for the Bei Family?"

Leng Xuan was taken aback, then realized what was happening. Given the good relationship between the Ling and Bei families, Ling Ao was surely trying to mediate. He couldn’t help but laugh and said, "That’s right. What? Has the Bei Family reached out to you? Don’t worry, Uncle Ling. Since you’ve stepped in, I won’t make things difficult for them any longer. As long as they don’t provoke me in the future."

Ling Ao laughed heartily, "You’ve got it wrong. The Bei Family indeed approached me, hoping I would intercede on their behalf so that you’d let them off. But I didn’t agree. What Bei Yin and her brother did was indeed over the top, and teaching them a profound lesson is a good idea. I’m contacting you mainly because the Bei Family has made an offer as an apology, hoping you’d look the other way."

"Oh?" Leng Xuan asked with interest, "What’s the offer?"

Ling Ao said with a smile, "The Bei Family has decided to gift you property worth ten billion in Baiyun City. How about that? Of course, if you think it’s too little, they will immediately add more until you are satisfied."

"Ten billion?" Leng Xuan was surprised, his eyes widened, then he snorted a laugh after a moment, "They are really generous, aren’t they?"

Ling Ao said, "Hehe! They’re about to be driven to a dead end, ten billion is nothing compared to the downfall of the Bei Family."

Leng Xuan couldn’t suppress his laughter, "From Uncle Ling’s tone, it seems like you’re suggesting I press them harder for a higher compensation?"

"When the opportunity arises, naturally you should seize it," said Ling Ao. "Anyway, ten or twenty billion won’t break the Bei Family’s bank, unless you demand a hundred billion or so, then they might really feel the pinch. Of course, the final decision is still up to you."

After a moment of contemplation, Leng Xuan finally said, "Uncle Ling, I’m not going to pursue this matter any further. To be honest, that ten billion was unexpected, and I hadn’t considered it at all, so the amount doesn’t matter to me."
