CHAPTER 319

"Yes?" Li Jing said with an uninterested tone the moment she answered the phone

"Li Jing…"

"Before she could continue any further, Li Jing interrupted her. "Now that you have seen I am not bluffing, do you still think you can call the shots here?"

"Li Jing, what do you want? State it, is it money or what? State what you want from me and delete that footage."

"Delete? Seriously? Do you think I am that stupid or what, Lin Xuilan?"

"Tell me, what would it take to get you to erase it. State your price, name anything."

"Really? Anything?"

"Yes. But do not release that footage to the police or do not even let my husband see it."

"Tsk, looks to me now that you are desperate. I do not need your money, Lin Xuilan."

"Then what do you need? Just do not let Lin Liqin know," Lin Xuilan pleaded.

"Hmm, it depends."

"On?" Lin Xuilan asked impatiently.

"On how corporative you are."

"Say it then. I am willingly to corporate."

"Fine. First, I need you to report yourself to Kim Group that you were the ones at fualt and make them withdraw their lawsuit while also calling the theft company off. If they so much as try to move on with the hotel-resort project, I would personally go against them."

"But…"

"Are you complaining? Oh you didn't think of that before you went to sell the project ideas to someone just to frame me. Might I add, you know grandfather is aware of this incident. Imagine what would happen if I let him know that they third and second families are involved."

"No, do not even let Lin Zian be aware of this matter."

"Then you have to do all that I tell you to do."

"Okay fine. I would arrange for the ;lawsuit to be withdrawn immediately."

"Good. Now for the second, I want you to transfer all your shares in Lin company under my name."

"What!"

"You heard me well, Lin Xuilan. Transfer all your shares in the company under my name. Relax, if it is money you want I can give you compensation fee."

"Li Jing, be careful. If you are too greedy, it would come back to bite you."

"You still can issue threats. I guess I am being too liberal. Now, I would add Lin Jingyi's shares as well. I want all your shares and that of your sons to be transferred to me."

Li Jing paused for some seconds, giving Lin Xuilan time to assimilate all that she had said before carrying on.

"Take it or leave it because if I am to report you two, I can also ask for compensation fee for the stress you made me go through in catching your useless grandchild and also the amount that should have ]been made if I was productive at work. I should be speaking of millions of dollars here."

Lin Xiulan did not know how she was going to get out of this situation. She gritted her teeth in anger as she had no choice but to allow Li Jing speak and call the shots.

"Wait, you weren't thinking I would give you an opportunity to strike back at me again, did you? If I have all your shares, then it limits you."

"But your grandfather would be suspicious as to why both of our shares were distributed once," Lin Xuilan tried to reason round her predicament but Li Jing was way ahead of her.

"Tsk, when I came, grandfather transferred my mother and grandmother's shares to me and half of his. It is completely normal. Everyone would see it as an act of goodwill from the second family."

"Li Jing!"

"Save your yelling for your grandson and do not make my ears heavy."

"Enjoy it while it last."

"Oh, I intend to, Lin Xuilan. I intend to enjoy it." Li Jing's smile broadened. To her, it was as though her auntie was there and she was doing all these things in front of her.

"Is that all yuou need?"

"Not quite. But any further help I need from you I would relate it to you via the phone. If you like refuse to pick my calls, just know that I can always hand over the footage to the police, grandfather and second granduncle.

"Fine. I would not breach our agreement. So long as you do not breach yours."

"You have my word. I just hope you keep yours too."

"Sure. I would. Now that it has been resolved, I await good news latest tomorrow morning."

"Can't you extend the date? It is too sudden to meet Kim Group and ask them to withdraw the lawsuit. Besides the day is far gone and before I transfer ownership of the shares…"

"All excuses. Lin Xuilan, you can do all these within today. Stop giving me excuses and get on with it."

"Li Jing."

"Good that you know how to lower your voice. Okay, I would be lenient enough. By this time tomorrow I should hear the good news. Anything later than this, I would send copies of this footage."

"Fine. I would do as you have said."

"That is better. Aren't you loving the obedient you know? Also, let this be a warning to you and second grand auntie. The next time you so much as try to sabotage me and ruin me, I would be coming for you big time and I would not stop till I see your ruins. I believe you know I am not bluffing this time around?"

"Yes. Nothing would happen."

"If you like, let something happen. Not my problem. Try and be coy, plan behind me and against me. Chose not to learn from your mistake and see the result next time. I would not warn you more than this. Goodbye, Lin Xiulan." Beep!!

"Li Jing!!" Lin Xuilan yelled immediately the call ended. "Arrghhhh! I would make you pay for this shame and humiliation. Just you watch."
