Chapter 74

"Alright, alright, enough talk. You stay here for a while, I'm going down to handle some things."

Chu Tian knew Ruan Mei didn't believe him, but it didn't matter; one day Ruan Mei would realize how terrifying Feng Feng Baobao was.

He glanced at the time and realized it was almost seven-thirty; it was time to go meet Da B.

"Mm, go ahead."

Ruan Mei stood up from Chu Tian's lap.

"Take a bath and wait for me!"

Chu Tian pinched Ruan Mei's cheek and smiled slightly. Ruan Mei blushed and nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Chu Tian was satisfied, picked up the newly written manual, and walked downstairs.

Arriving on the first floor, Chu Tian saw at a glance that Da B was sitting in the booth area with a gloomy expression, his underlings looking dejected and unwilling.

Chu Tian first went to the bar counter and threw the manual to the bartender.

"What is this, Brother Tian?"

The bartender asked in confusion.

"A fist manual. Keep it for me for a moment."

Chu Tian said casually and gestured to Xi Gui not far away.

"Okay! I'll definitely keep it safe for you, Brother Tian!"

The bartender nodded respectfully and carefully put the manual away.

At this time, Xi Gui also brought several sturdy men in suits to Chu Tian's side.

Chu Tian glanced at Xi Gui and walked straight toward Da B.

Xi Gui immediately followed behind Chu Tian with his men.

Soon, Chu Tian walked up to Da B, sat down opposite him, and took a box of Marlboros from his pocket, pulling one out to put in his mouth.

Seeing this, Xi Gui behind him immediately took out a lighter and lit it for Chu Tian.

Chu Tian took a deep drag before fixing his gaze on Da B.

Witnessing all this, Da B's expression became even gloomier.

Chu Tian doing this meant he completely didn't put him in his eyes at all!!!

But facing such an insult, he had to endure it.

Because Chen Haonan was still in Chu Tian's hands.

However, looking at Chu Tian's arrogant expression as he puffed out smoke, completely ignoring him, Da B couldn't help but say in a deep voice:

"Chu Tian, you have quite the attitude."

"Whether the attitude is big or not depends on one's strength. My strength is greater than yours, so I can have an attitude, but you can't. You can only endure it. After being in the underworld for so many years, don't you understand this principle?"

Chu Tian glanced at Da B with contempt and said disdainfully.

"You..."

Chu Tian's words directly ignited Da B's anger, and he almost started cursing at Chu Tian.

But thinking of Chen Haonan in the end, he endured it.

Seeing this, Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh and say:

"What 'you'? Chen Haonan is in my hands now. If you want him to live, you have to take it!!!"

"Fine! I'll take it!!!" Da B had been in the underworld for decades, after all; what kind of situation hadn't he encountered? After taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Tian:

"What exactly do you want before you'll let Chen Haonan and the other two go?"

Chu Tian's eyes narrowed, he slowly raised his right hand, and extended three fingers.

Seeing this, Da B's eyes sank, thinking Chu Tian was asking for three million.

Three million for three people was definitely a huge loss.

But if those three people were Chen Haonan and his group, it seemed acceptable.

In the end, Da B gritted his teeth, looked at Chu Tian, and said with a pained heart:

"Fine! Three million it is. I'll have someone send it over right now. Let them go quickly."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hehe! What three million? I said thirty million!!!"

"What???"

Da B was dumbfounded, looking at Chu Tian in shock.

Thirty million!!!

You really have the nerve to say that.

Thirty million to ransom three people? Even a fool wouldn't agree to that, right?

"Chu Tian, are you kidding me?"

"Kidding you? Do I look like I'm kidding you?"

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Da B, and said viciously:

"That punk Chen Haonan brought people to smash my nightclub, causing me not only to have to renovate but also to be unable to operate for several days.

And this guy also hacked to death sixty-two of my brothers and injured over two hundred, costing me over eighteen million in settlement fees and one or two million in medical expenses!

Today, I'll put it this way: you bring me thirty million, and I'll release them. If you can't, just wait to collect Chen Haonan's corpse!!!"

"So there's no room for negotiation!"

Da B looked at Chu Tian with a gloomy face, anger burning in his eyes.

This bastard Chu Tian was simply extorting him.

You had sixty-two brothers hacked to death? I don't even know how many of my brothers you hacked to death!

"That depends on whether you can come up with thirty million."

Chu Tian took another drag of his Marlboro and said arrogantly.

"Chu Tian, let me tell you, young people shouldn't be too arrogant. Be careful of retribution!"

Da B clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Hehe, if you're not arrogant, are you even a young person?"

Chu Tian laughed upon hearing this.

And Xi Gui and the others behind him directly mocked him:

"Exactly, if you're not arrogant, are you even a young person?"

"Da B, you're washed up. You've been eliminated by the times. Go back and sell salted duck eggs!"

"What kind of negotiation is this without money? You're wasting Brother Tian's time!!!"

Facing the mockery of Xi Gui and the others, Da B's face turned pale and then green. Finally, he gave Chu Tian a fierce glare and stood up without hesitation:

"Let's go!"

After saying this, Da B walked straight out of the bar.

Thirty million—it wasn't that he couldn't come up with it, but for just three people, it was completely not worth it.

Even Chen Haonan wasn't worth thirty million.

So there was no negotiation today; he could only think of other ways.

Bao Pi and the others immediately followed.

After walking out of the bar, Bao Pi looked at Da B with an ugly expression:

"Brother B, what should we do now? I see that bastard Chu Tian has no intention of letting them go at all!

Brother Nan and the others are seriously injured. If we don't rescue them and send them to the hospital, I'm afraid they won't last a few more days!!!"

"I know." Da B's face sank, and he said helplessly: "I'll go find Mr. Jiang. If he steps in, maybe we can rescue Haonan and the others!"

To be honest, Da B really didn't want to go find Jiang Tiansheng.

Because this would not only make Chen Haonan and the others look incompetent,

but it would also make him, Da B, look incompetent.

But in the current situation, if he didn't go find Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Haonan would have only one path: death!!!

"Right! Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang is the Dragon Head of Hongxing and has high prestige in the underworld. If he's willing to step in, Chu Tian will definitely release them!!!"

Upon hearing this, Bao Pi said excitedly: "Brother B, let's go find Mr. Jiang now!"

Da B had originally wanted to go tomorrow, as it was already seven o'clock, but thinking of Chen Haonan, who was in danger, Da B nodded.
