Chapter 319 The person who wanted to kill you is named Bai Hui
Bai Zixuan sat on the sofa.
He took a deep breath after hearing Li Ze ask the question.
He knew it was time to reveal his hand.
Before he arrived, the family head, Bai Qiuzhan, had already granted him considerable power, allowing him to utilize the family's resources to negotiate with Li Ze.
We are willing to pay any price to bring Bai Qianyue back.
Bai Zixuan looked at Li Ze with a very serious expression.
He began to speak:
"Mr. Li, our Bai family is very sincere."
"If you are willing to release Sister Qianyue, our Bai family is willing to offer half of our family's assets as compensation."
"These industries encompass many of our core businesses in China, including real estate, finance, and technology, where we hold a significant share."
"This is absolutely a very large sum of money. I believe it is enough to express the sincerity of the Bai family."
Li Ze sat opposite Bai Zixuan and heard the condition he had proposed.
He raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but laugh.
"Ha ha."
Li Ze picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
He looked at Bai Zixuan and said in a very relaxed tone:
"Half of the business? You're quite generous, aren't you?"
"Your Bai family has been operating in the Dragon Kingdom for so many years, your foundation is indeed quite deep. Half of the business is an irresistible temptation for anyone."
Bai Zixuan breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard Li Ze say that.
He felt that since Li Ze was interested in this condition, there was still room for negotiation.
but.
Before he could even speak again...
The smile on Li Ze's face suddenly vanished.
He placed the teacup he was holding on the table, making a very crisp sound.
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan and shook his head decisively.
"But that's impossible."
Bai Zixuan's expression froze instantly.
He looked at Li Ze with a puzzled expression:
"Mr. Li, what do you mean by this? Is half of the business not enough?"
Li Ze leaned back on the sofa, extended a finger, and gently shook it:
"It's not a question of whether it's enough or not."
"Bai Zixuan, listen to me carefully. Even if you give me half of the Bai family's assets, or even if you give me the entire Bai family's assets, I will not return Bai Qianyue to you."
Li Ze's tone was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation:
"Bai Qianyue's actions have crossed my bottom line. She has threatened my family."
"I'm keeping her locked up here, not because I want your Bai family's money."
"In my life, the one thing I've never lacked is money."
"I locked her up so that I and my family could live in peace, without being bothered by that crazy woman."
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan and then raised a very practical question:
"And think about it carefully."
"If you really give me all of the Bai family's assets, then your Bai family will become a complete empty shell."
"By then, even if you bring Bai Qianyue back, what good will it do?"
"After she goes back and takes over the Bai family, which has nothing, will she still be able to wield the same power as before?"
Bai Zixuan sat there, listening to what Li Ze had to say.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't find any reason to refute it at all.
Because Li Ze was absolutely right.
If the Bai family loses all its assets, then even if Bai Qianyue goes back, she will have lost her greatest support.
Li Ze's meaning was also very clear.
He's not short of money.
He only wanted Bai Qianyue to stay in this place forever and never disturb his life.
Bai Zixuan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He felt that his mission was likely to fail.
However, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
He looked at Li Ze, still wanting to try again:
"Mr. Li, I know that Sister Qianyue may have done something that displeased you before."
"But she is, after all, a member of the Bai family. And my grandfather dotes on her. If she continues to be kept here with you, my grandfather will certainly not let it go."
"Aren't you afraid that the Bai family will fight you to the death?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ze laughed again.
He looked at Bai Zixuan, his tone filled with domineering authority:
"A fight to the death?"
"Bai Zixuan, aren't you overestimating your Bai family?"
"As I just said, the one thing I, Li Ze, have no shortage of is money. Moreover, the power under my command is beyond what your Bai family can even imagine."
"If your Bai family really wants to go head-to-head with me, then I welcome you anytime."
"But I can guarantee that the final result will not be a lose-lose situation. Rather, the fish will die, but the net will be completely unharmed."
Li Ze's words were very direct and arrogant.
But Bai Zixuan looked into Li Ze's eyes, which were full of confidence.
He knew that Li Ze was definitely not bragging.
Li Ze has the ability and the confidence to say such a thing.
Bai Zixuan gave up completely.
He knew that he had no bargaining chips in front of this man.
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan's dejected appearance.
His tone softened somewhat.
He began to speak:
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about Bai Qianyue."
"Although I locked her up, I did not abuse her."
"She lives very well here, with plenty of food and drink, and her accommodation is like a five-star hotel."
"As long as she doesn't cause trouble, I will absolutely not harm a single hair on her head."
"When you get back, you can tell your father everything exactly as he said. That way, he won't have to worry."
Bai Zixuan nodded and sighed helplessly:
"Alright, Mr. Li. Since you've put it that way, I have nothing more to say."
"I will take your words back with me."
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan.
He smiled and then changed the subject to something else.
"Alright, that's all for Bai Qianyue's matter. Now let's talk about yours."
"Don't you want to know who tried to harm you on the plane just now?"
Hearing Li Ze ask this question.
Bai Zixuan's eyes widened immediately.
He was almost killed in the plane bombing just now.
How could he not want to know who did this!
Although his primary mission here was to save Bai Qianyue.
But now that he can't be saved, he definitely needs to find out who wants to kill him.
Finding the mole hidden within the Bai family is the most important thing right now.
If we can't find that traitor, even if he returns to China, he could be assassinated again at any time.
Bai Zixuan immediately sat up straight.
He looked at Li Ze and asked very urgently:
"Mr. Li, do you really know who did it?"
"Please tell me! If you can tell me who it is, I, Bai Zixuan, will owe you a huge favor. From now on, if you ever need anything from me, I'll do it without hesitation!"
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan's anxious expression.
He nodded with great satisfaction.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
Li Ze picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water.
Then, he looked at Bai Zixuan and slowly uttered a name.
"The person who wanted to kill you is named Bai Hui."
