Chapter 1464 1459: He's My Grandfather! [First Update]
A string of phone calls was made, each person could somehow provide anywhere from tens of millions to billions of US Dollars, but it would take some time for the funds to arrive."Who were those women?" Lin Xi suddenly asked.
Su Chen didn't answer.
"What is your relationship with them?" Lin Xi asked again.
This time Su Chen finally reacted: "Friends."
Su Chen only said these two words. Lin Xi fell silent; she clearly didn't believe it was that simple, just friends.
What Su Chen was asking for wasn't just a mere ten or twenty thousand, nor a hundred thousand or a couple hundred thousand.
After Su Chen made the calls, the first woman to pick up didn't even ask Su Chen what the money was for. She immediately prepared two billion US Dollars for Su Chen and said she could gather more.
To be honest with herself, if Su Chen didn't explain the reason, she probably wouldn't hand over such a huge sum, a billion or two billion US Dollars, for Su Chen to squander, because she was a rational woman.
Su Chen and Lin Xi's first conversation came to an end, both fell silent.
But soon Su Chen's phone rang with a notification of a two billion US Dollars transaction record.
Lin Xi saw it, but this time she said nothing.
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
...
A series of transaction records continued to arrive, and within just half an hour or so, Su Chen had amassed ten billion US Dollars, an amount exceeding half of the Yimena Group.
"Here's ten billion US Dollars. Can you tell me about your dealings and conversations with my sister-in-law now?" Su Chen placed the account containing ten billion US Dollars in front of the old man Lin.
Ten billion US Dollars was within reach, even the old man couldn't remain completely unmoved.
He said to Su Chen: "Transfer the money to the designated account, and I'll tell you what you want to know."
"Alright!" Though it was ten billion, Su Chen didn't even blink before transferring the money to old man Lin.
Forget that it's just ten billion US Dollars, even if a hundred billion were in front of him, he wouldn't hesitate compared to news about his sister-in-law. Money is just a pile of numbers.
The transfer process might be considered long, but it happened in just an instant.
Ten billion US Dollars arrived safely, and old man Lin couldn't help but smile slightly: "Not bad, you and your sister-in-law are both trustworthy people."
"I want to know what transactions you had with her, what you talked about." Su Chen's voice was extremely cold.
"Transactions with her? It's just about letting Xiao Xi marry you." Old man Lin said calmly.
"Anything else?"
"Anything else? What else?" old man Lin smiled gently at Su Chen.
"Are you playing me?" Su Chen's tone was exceedingly cold, as if he felt no anger at all.
"What do you think?"
"No one can play me, least of all you!"
Su Chen flipped out in an instant, shocking everyone in the hall.
They completely failed to see when Su Chen acted, but his hand was already tightly gripping old man Lin's neck.
"Su Chen!" witnessing Su Chen's actions, Lin Xi cried out in shock.
Su Chen ignored Lin Xi, his hand firmly gripping old man Lin's throat, his voice extremely cold said: "Tell me, what exactly she said to you, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."
"Will you really kill me in front of Xiao Xi? Aren't you afraid she'll be heartbroken?" Despite being choked by Su Chen and breathing with difficulty, old man Lin showed no panic.
"You can try it, but my patience is limited. Tell me what you talked about." Su Chen spoke without any emotional fluctuation.
Old man Lin only felt his throat being pressed tighter, breathing becoming more difficult.
"Consider the consequences of killing me. If I die, you'll have a hard time leaving the Lin family…"
But Su Chen didn't listen to this, only increasing the pressure in his hand: "I have given you what you want, but no one can play me; tell me what she said to you, or... die!"
Though Su Chen didn't show a bloodthirsty side, his current appearance made him even more frightening.
"Su Chen, please don't act impulsively, he's my grandpa..." Lin Xi had never seen Su Chen like this, it frightened her.
The person controlled by Su Chen was her grandfather. Though old man Lin's actions made her feel cold, she still had feelings for him.
"He sold you to me for a hundred billion, do you think he's a good person?" Su Chen said coldly.
"But he's my grandpa." Lin Xi repeated, seemingly trying to steady her wavering heart.
"Humph." Su Chen snorted coldly and threw old man Lin back onto the Taishi Chair.
Old man Lin gasped loudly; when Su Chen choked him, he was almost unable to breathe.
At the moment Su Chen released old man Lin, the housekeeper promptly stepped forward to keep Su Chen two meters away from him.
The surrounding security, originally on standby, quickly stepped forward; four people carefully surrounded Su Chen.
"I'll give you one more chance for Lin Xi's sake, what did she say to you, tell me!"
"Cough, cough, young man, don't you understand the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young?" Old man Lin showed little anger, simply using a plain tone to speak calmly.
"I understand respecting the elderly and loving the young, but for those who don't know their limits, I think this principle doesn't apply." Su Chen retorted directly.
"You think me ignorant of what's proper?" Old man Lin smiled faintly.
"I have given you what you want, but you haven't provided me with what I want; isn't that not knowing what's proper? I said before, for Lin Xi's sake, I'll give you one more chance!"
"Do you really want to know what she said to me?" Old man Lin said playfully.
"Yes."
"Come, I'll tell you." old man Lin said.
Su Chen approached as instructed, the four guards watched him warily, ready to react should he suddenly act violently again.
"I'll tell you what she said; she said…"
Whatever old man Lin said caused Su Chen to suddenly act violently again, his hand tightly choking old man Lin's throat, as if intending to kill him.
"Ghast..." old man Lin laughed strangely.
"No!" Lin Xi shouted angrily.
She couldn't watch her grandfather die in front of her, because that was her grandfather!
"Bang!" Su Chen felt as if he had been hit by a powerful blast, making him lose his balance, his hand slipping and losing control of old man Lin.
"Hm?" Though the force wasn't overwhelming, it wasn't insignificant either—it possessed at least the power of the Saint Level.
Su Chen quickly regained his composure, instinctively looking towards the source of the power...
