Chapter 512: I'm a Kidnapper with Professional Ethics
"Terms? Whatever I want?"
Lin Fan's lips curled into a slight, playful smile. He really wondered who gave her the guts to say something like that!
"That's right! As long as it's within our means, Mr. Lin can ask for anything!" Chen Lan nodded affirmatively.
"Alright then! I only have one request. Miss Chen Lan, strip naked and run around East Sea City, then I'll release Chen Hu." Lin Fan said with a nonchalant smile.
Whoosh~
Upon hearing this, no matter how well-mannered Chen Lan was, a cold expression appeared on her face!
"Mr. Lin, this demand is too much!" Chen Lan said with a displeased tone.
"Heh, didn't you say anything goes? What? Now you want to backtrack? I don't understand people like you. Big talk, no action. If you can't do it, don't boast, or else you're just slapping yourself in the face."
Lin Fan shamelessly insulted.
"You're right, Mr. Lin." Surprisingly, Chen Lan wasn't angry. She still appeared humble and respectful.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan couldn't help but furrow his brows, and so did Su Yanyu!
Lin Fan's reason for being insulting was to provoke Chen Lan and her companion into making an extreme move. Anyway, under Lin Fan's watchful eye, they couldn't cause too much trouble. But if they dared to lose their cool, Lin Fan would have more bargaining chips with the Chen Family!
But Chen Lan was too tolerant. Even after such an insult, she didn't get angry?
The ancients said, if you insult him and he can endure it, he's either a fool or a capable person. In the latter case, one must be cautious.
At that moment, Chen Lan made Lin Fan wary by three points!
Lin Fan lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, speaking casually, "So, how do you plan on getting Chen Hu back?"
"One billion, that's our offer!" Chen Lan said without hesitation.
It must be said, the price Chen Lan offered is indeed not a small sum for the average person, but to Lin Fan, it wasn't worth mentioning!
Lin Fan showed little interest, "Do you really think Chen Hu is worth a billion?"
"Of course, Chen Hu isn't just worth a billion, he's priceless." Chen Lan replied without reservation.
"If he's priceless, isn't one billion a bit too little?" Lin Fan said calmly.
"So what's Mr. Lin suggesting?" Chen Lan asked.
"Ten billion!"
Lin Fan lazily extended a finger, speaking in an even tone.
But as soon as Lin Fan spoke, Chen Lan and Chen Youzhi's expressions changed drastically!
There are only so many billionaires worldwide! Even with the Chen Family's wealth, casually coming up with ten billion isn't a simple matter!
"Kid, why don't you go rob a bank? Ten billion, do you think my Chen Family is stupid and easy to trick?" Chen Youzhi exclaimed angrily.
"Sorry, I don't think the Chen Family is stupid, just you." Lin Fan shrugged, looking like they misunderstood him!
But as these words fell into Chen Youzhi's ears, he immediately clenched his fists tightly, making a cracking sound, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Kid, you're courting death!"
"Death? Many have said that to me, yet none have succeeded!"
Lin Fan chuckled indifferently, then turned to Su Yanyu, saying, "Darling, it seems a dog has wandered into our home, what should we do with such an annoying creature?"
"Such an animal pollutes our environment, it should be beaten to death with a stick!" Su Yanyu cooperated well.
"Beaten to death might be too cruel; after all, it's a life. How about we buy a dog leash and tie it up?" Lin Fan appeared reluctant.
"Forget it, buying a leash costs money, and spending on such a beast is a waste!"
"How about... just throw it out?"
Su Yanyu thought seriously for a moment, then nodded, "Sounds good, let's throw it out!"
"Alright! I'll listen to my wife!" Lin Fan smiled contentedly.
Watching Lin Fan and Su Yanyu play the bad and good cop, throwing in insults of "dog," Chen Youzhi's face turned completely cold, trembling with anger, murderous intent boiling in his eyes!
"I'll kill you! I must kill you!" Chen Youzhi roared at the peak of his anger, grabbing a nearby chair, about to charge at Lin Fan.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan would never give him the chance!
Whoosh~
With a gust of wind, Lin Fan turned into a shadow in an instant, appearing before Chen Youzhi like a phantom, reaching out to grab his throat, lifting him like a chick.
Lin Fan exerted his strength, and Chen Youzhi found it difficult to breathe, his face turning pale!
"Le... let go... of me..."
Chen Youzhi said with difficulty.
However, besides the deeper cold smile on his lips, Lin Fan said nothing, dragging Chen Youzhi to the villa entrance and tossing him out like garbage!
Afterward, Lin Fan clapped his hands with satisfaction and sauntered back to the sofa, sitting down as if nothing had happened, as if the previous incident was irrelevant to him!
"Alright, now there's no more barking. Miss Chen, are you satisfied with my terms?" Lin Fan looked at Chen Lan with a smile.
"Ten billion is too much, it's impossible. If it's one billion, I can decide!" Chen Lan said.
"One billion? Heh! Miss Chen, you underestimate me. My wife's limited-edition commemorative Rolls-Royce is worth over one billion, yet you want to exchange ten billion for Chen Hu's life? You're not taking me seriously!"
Lin Fan chuckled disdainfully.
"Then please, Mr. Lin, lower your standards," Chen Lan pleaded.
"If that's the case, I'll give you half off, five billion is my bottom line." Lin Fan extended five fingers, his tone relaxed. Even with five billion, Lin Fan didn't seem to care.
To him, five billion was just a few assassination contracts in the Dark Realm!
Listening to Lin Fan's words, Chen Lan furrowed her brows in thought, saying, "I can't make this decision, I need to discuss it with my family. However... Mr. Lin, I hope I can talk to Chen Hu now, to ensure his safety."
"Miss Chen, my apologies, but without seeing the money first, you won't be able to contact Chen Hu. But rest assured, I'm a kidnapper with professional ethics. The fact I'm negotiating with you means Chen Hu is alive and well. Unlike those unscrupulous kidnappers, I won't suddenly break his arm or leg out of spite, or maybe even break his third leg...."
Lin Fan wore a righteous demeanor, acting like an actual kidnapper, earnestly proving his professional ethics!
Yet, soon enough, a glimmer of coldness flashed in Lin Fan's smiling eyes, speaking lightly, "But, if I don't see the money, then I don't mind losing my professional ethics once. I'll cripple that little bastard Chen Hu's hand or maybe break his third leg directly..."
