Tianyi continued, "After you twisted his arm last time, he's not an idiot. How could he let you get away with it again? If he dared to do this to you, he's surely surrounded by bodyguards now. Even if you beat him and injure him, you'd still be legally responsible. The first time was just your luck, with Xie Qining being caught by the police kicking someone, but that kind of luck won't happen every time."
An Jing couldn't listen to anything anyone said now. He retorted, "You're saying I'll be legally responsible? Then today I'll beat him to death. At most, I'll pay with my life, and then he won't be able to harm others anymore!"
Seeing that An Jing was truly driven mad by Xie Qining, Tianyi asked, "What exactly happened last night?"
"That bastard used despicable means and drugged me, then recorded a damn video!"
Tianyi was also very angry upon hearing this. They were both people of status; how could Xie Qining stoop to such a thing?
Just as he was about to try and persuade An Jing, perhaps there was another way to retrieve the video, An Jing spotted Xie Qining's figure appearing in the parking lot.
An Jing immediately opened his car door, rushed out, and charged directly at Xie Qining, full of rage.
Tianyi also pushed open his car door and followed him.
However, before An Jing could get close to Xie Qining, bodyguards blocked his path.
It seemed that if he wanted to hit Xie Qining, he would have to defeat those bodyguards first.
Xie Qining saw that An Jing was still wearing the same clothes as last night. He smiled and looked at Qin Tianyi, saying, "I didn't expect President Qin to be here too. At your age, are you planning a group fight?"
Tianyi held An Jing back and, without flinching, stared coldly at Xie Qining, saying, "Bring out the video you have. You can actually do something so sordid."
Xie Qining was almost intimidated by Tianyi's imposing aura, which was exactly like his father's.
But how could he be easily scared off by their few words? He had finally found something to control Xiao An Jing and Lan Yu.
He said with a smile, "How could I not give President Qin face? Since you're both here, why don't you come to my office for a cup of coffee?"
"No thanks for the coffee," Tianyi said, still holding An Jing, fearing his impulsiveness. He coldly told Xie Qining, "I'm really afraid you might put something in the coffee."
Xie Qining burst into laughter and said, "President Qin is so funny. Then come to my office and just sit. It's fine if we don't drink anything. We can discuss terms. What do you think?"
"I have nothing more to discuss with you!" An Jing refused outright.
Xie Qining said, "If that's the case, then I'll have to post everything online."
He believed that Xiao An Jing would understand what he meant as soon as he heard this.
Xiao An Jing tried to break free from Tianyi, saying, "Don't hold me back. I can beat them all to the ground by myself!"
"He's deliberately provoking you," Tianyi whispered, holding him. "As soon as you make a move, he'll definitely have a way to deal with you. You can't be too hasty when dealing with such a despicable person."
Xiao An Jing finally calmed down a bit. Xie Qining said with amusement, "Have you decided? Are you coming to my office to talk?"
"Yes, since we're here, we should certainly go and sit," Tianyi said, looking at him again.
"President Qin is indeed straightforward. Let's go then."
"Alright."
Xiao An Jing suppressed his anger, and they proceeded to Xie Qining's office.
The entire office was garishly decorated, making Tianyi and An Jing feel rather uncomfortable.
Tianyi didn't want to linger, so he directly asked, "What are your conditions?"
Xie Qining smiled and said, "I want the land on Binjiang Road. Sell it to me for two hundred million, and I'll give you all the videos and photos I have, leaving nothing behind."
"You're dreaming. We bought it for one hundred fifty million, and now it's worth at least four hundred million," Xiao An Jing immediately retorted.
"So what? No matter how much it's worth now, I'm only offering two hundred million. It's up to you whether you want to make this deal or not," Xie Qining said, acting as if he wasn't afraid of them refusing.
Tianyi didn't get angry. He just asked curiously, "Xie's Group has never been involved in the real estate industry, and you run a modeling agency. What do you want that piece of land from us for?"
"President Qin, you don't need to worry about these things. I'm just asking if you'll sell it to me for two hundred million?" Xie Qining, relying on the leverage he had, stuck to his price.
Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "Selling you the land for two hundred million is acceptable, but..."
"Are you crazy? How can we sell it for two hundred million!" Xiao An Jing stopped him. "Our preliminary preparations for development are almost complete. And all the overtime you've put in day and night these past few days, isn't it all for the good development of this land? It's not a loss, is it? Are these things only worth fifty million?"
Tianyi calmly and seriously stated, "My calculation isn't like yours. Giving him this land in exchange for you and Lan Yu cutting ties with him forever is well worth it."
"Are you stupid? How can you guarantee that he will keep his promise and really hand over all the videos and photos he has?" An Jing no longer trusted Xie Qining at all.
Tianyi immediately asked Xie Qining, "What I was about to say is exactly what Mr. Xiao asked. How can you make us believe that you will honor your promise and complete this transaction with us?"
Xie Qining rejoiced inwardly. If he could make a hundred million profit by selling these indecent videos and photos, it would indeed be a huge gain.
He took out his phone and offered it to Tianyi, saying, "Mr. Xiao's wonderful videos are all on my phone. I just recorded them last night, and they definitely haven't been backed up or uploaded elsewhere. As long as you agree to sell me that piece of land, I can hand over the phone to you, and you can have professionals delete them completely."
What Xiao An Jing cared about wasn't what was filmed of himself; he was a man, what was there to fear? "What about the photos and videos you calculated against Lan Yu? I'm afraid you're not the only one with them, and you've probably made many backups. How can they be completely destroyed?"
"I'm the only one with her things. My mother only glanced at them once; she doesn't have anything. I'll put everything on a USB drive and give it to you," he said dismissively.
Although Susu hadn't explicitly stated what had happened to Lan Yu, forcing An Jing to meet Xie Qining at the club, he could now guess from their conversation.
He sneered and said, "Lan Yu was still your wife then. For someone who wouldn't even spare his own wife, why should we believe you?"
Xie Qining said shamelessly, "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. Anyway, you have the leverage in my hands now. If the terms aren't agreed upon, I can post it online anytime..."
"How about this, to prove that you are sincerely trading with us, record a video of yourself and send it to me," Tianyi stared at him. "Only then can we be at ease."
"Yes, record a video of yourself," An Jing also thought this was a good idea, fighting fire with fire.
"Are you playing me? If you don't want to sell me the land, then forget it. Consider it as if I never said anything." Xie Qining spun his chair, preparing to turn his back on them and have his bodyguards escort them out.
