It was precisely because he had other intentions that he had no choice but to suppress his anger. It was precisely because he had other motives that he had no choice but to visit him. It was also because he had other motives that he had no choice but to play down this matter. As for the words he said about " paying a visit to thank me ", they could basically be treated as bullsh * t.
Then, what was Xu Xin's goal?
"Mr. Xu, I like to be straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush. I'm sure you already know everything about last night's incident. Why don't we be frank?”
"Hehe, Mr. Ling is really a straightforward person. I like straightforward people the most. I believe that doing business with Mr. Ling must be a very pleasant thing.”Xu Xinxiong laughed happily.
"You want to do business with me?" Ling Yun asked in surprise.
"That's right!" Xu Xinxiong nodded.”
" To be honest with you, Mr. Xu, I don't seem to have anything special. I wonder what else would catch your eye?" Ling Yun asked curiously.”
Xu Xinxiong chuckled." My son is mischievous. Last night, Mr. Ling helped me discipline him. I am very grateful! However, when Mr. Ling left my humble abode last night, he seemed to have taken something with him. Mr. Ling was a man of noble character, so he was forgetful. Could it be that he didn't remember?”
Something?
Of course, Ling Yun wouldn't forget that the thing he took from Xu Ming last night was a portable hard drive! A mobile hard drive with photos of Xie Xiaoyu and the other girls who were victims!
Was Xu Xinxiong here to ask for the hard drive back?!
"Oh!" Ling Yun laughed and acted as if he had just realized something." So, Mister Xu came to look for Ling Yun so early to ask for the Mercedes-Benz back! I'm really sorry. I really had no choice yesterday. When I came back, I couldn't even get a taxi. I had no choice but to borrow Sir's car first. Please don't blame me! This matter was easy to handle. The car was parked in the hotel's parking lot. Since Mr. Xu was here, he would return it to its owner and ask Mr. Xu to drive it away. But I'm sorry, the car, haha, I just wiped it a few times…"
Xu Xinxiong also laughed." It's just a Mercedes-Benz. What's the point of mentioning it? I'll just treat it as a gift to Mr. Ling, but I'm not referring to this car!”
"Not a car? That was a Mercedes-Benz! Probably a few million!" "Is Mister Xu really going to give it to Ling Yun?" Haha, I'm sorry, this matter…How could Ling Yun accept it without any merit?”
Xu Xinxiong ignored Ling Yun's intentional interruption and said straightforwardly,"Mr. Ling, it seems like a noble person has a short memory. But it's fine. Please think carefully, Mr. Ling. Did you take a portable hard drive from my house?”
It was indeed a portable hard drive!
" Mobile hard drive?!" Ling Yun scratched his head and made a gesture of careful consideration. Xu Xinxiong wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently for him.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember. Too many things happened yesterday!”Ling Yun said shamelessly.
"When Mr. Ling took that portable hard drive, he must have seen something placed with it, right? If Mr. Ling agrees to return the hard drive, I'm willing to use those things in exchange. Mind you, I mean all of it! Mr. Ling should know what this meant!”Unexpectedly, Xu Xinxiong wasn't angry at all. He continued to speak as if Ling Yun's words were nonsense.
Of course, Ling Yun had seen the thing that was placed next to the portable hard drive before. It was money!
To be precise, it was banknotes. There were not only RMB, but also large US and Hong Kong dollar bills. Moreover, there were a large number of them. Xu Xinxiong actually agreed to exchange all his money for a portable hard drive?
How much was a portable hard drive worth?
The only explanation was that the thing in the portable hard drive was worth the price! No, to Xu Xinxiong, it might even be worth more than this price!!
"How is it? Mr. Ling, just the US dollar bills in that safe are worth 100 million US dollars! Other than that, there were also tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and RMB. This was a wealth that ordinary people could not earn even if they worked hard for a few lifetimes. As long as Mr. Ling nodded, all of this would belong to Mr. Ling. How about it? What do you think, Mr. Ling?" Xu Xinxiong said leisurely.
Ling Yun couldn't help but gasp. This was probably the most expensive portable hard drive in the world. Then, what exactly was stored inside? What exactly was it that Xu Xinxiong wanted to obtain without considering the cost?
Ling Yun was even more curious about the hard drive. That's right, anyone would want to know what was inside a portable hard drive worth hundreds of millions. Sometimes, curiosity could kill. Hence, Ling Yun made up his mind that he couldn't hand over the hard drive.
If Xu Xinxiong hadn't offered such a high reward, Ling Yun might have deleted the things that shouldn't exist and returned them to him. But now, such a huge bounty was enough to arouse everyone's curiosity. Ling Yun was no exception!
"Moreover, even if Mr. Ling gets that portable hard drive, it's useless because all the files in it are encrypted. No one can open it until they get the password.”Xu Xinxiong continued," I believe that Ling Yun hasn't opened the external hard drive since he got it. Otherwise, he would have noticed this long ago.”Xu Xinxiong's voice was still calm, as if he was talking about something very normal.
It was true that Ling Yun hadn't opened the hard drive. To him, it was already in his hands. It didn't matter whether he opened it or not.
"Of course, I'm not forcing Mr. Ling to return the hard drive to me. If Mr. Ling is still worried, as long as you agree to destroy the hard drive, I will still give you every cent I promised.”Xu Xinxiong stared into Ling Yun's eyes as he said this.
Destroying a small portable hard disk and gaining hundreds of millions of wealth for no reason. Who would believe that this kind of thing was not a pie in the sky? This portable hard drive was probably the most expensive consumer technology product in history, right?
If such a thing happened, 99 out of 100 people would definitely agree at the first moment.
Unfortunately, Ling Yun didn't belong to the 99.
A deal that was obviously unfair, a deal that was obviously beneficial to only one party, must be extremely unstable behind it, or it must be hiding some unspeakable secret. A few hundred million? Hmph, let alone a few hundred million, a few million was enough to take someone's life.
