Are you scared?

Liu Qingyao grabbed her hair and slammed her head hard onto the desk, sneering.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

"However, you'll have to agree to all the conditions I propose later!"

"Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Take Lin Xueyan for example. I handed her over to four security guards, and her fate was truly tragic!"

"Well……"

Jiang Ruonan turned pale with fright, strained her eyes to look up at the dozens of men in the room, and stammered.

"You...you're going to hand me over to these men?"

"Pfft!"

Liu Qingyao scoffed, "You wish! Who doesn't know you like strong men? My dozens of bodyguards are all physically robust. How could I possibly cater to your whims?"

"It's impossible to give an old woman like you to them."

So don't even think about it!

"Then what exactly are you going to do to me?" Jiang Ruonan asked in a trembling voice.

"Hehe, Jiang Ruonan, seeing how scared you are makes me feel really good!"

Liu Qingyao said with a smug smile, "You only heard the last two sentences, not the first two!"

"I told you, if you can agree to the conditions I set, I will not only not make things difficult for you, but I will also let you go!"

"Of course, if you don't agree, the consequences will be dire."

"Of course, when I say 'miserable,' I don't mean handing you over to my men."

"I'm going to subject you to the most cruel tortures, so that you can neither live nor die!"

Jiang Ruonan trembled slightly.

She knew that the sweeter the smile on Liu Qingyao's face, the more ruthless her methods.

This woman, who is behaving erratically, is capable of anything.

Her head was pressed against the table, her face was squeezed out of shape, and she opened her mouth wide and spoke in a trembling voice.

"What are your conditions? Tell me!"

"The conditions? They're too simple!"

Liu Qingyao reached out and gently patted her cheek, speaking slowly.

"Back then, you conspired with Lin Xueyan to harm me because you actually wanted to swallow up my Liu Group."

"However, because the Hong Group also has its eyes on my Liu Group."

"Given the immense power of the Hong family, you chose to withdraw because you didn't want to fight them."

"However, in the end, my Liu Group was forcibly acquired by Lin Xueyan for a bargain price of two million."

"Therefore, I will follow her example today and acquire your Hongyuan Group!"

"What?"

Jiang Ruonan's pupils dilated; her eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out.

"You're also going to buy my company for two million?"

"We want to acquire your company, but you got the price wrong, it's not two million!"

Liu Qingyao sneered: "Ever since you couldn't beat Fang Xueqing and Ye Tianyu, your Hongyuan Group has actually been on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Therefore, it's not worth two million."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I can only give you two hundred thousand!"

"boom!"

Jiang Ruonan felt as if she had been struck on the head; her head buzzed and her whole body trembled.

He then exclaimed in surprise, "Two hundred thousand? You're practically robbing me!"

"It's robbery, what can you do about it?"

Liu Qingyao sneered, "If the word 'rob' weren't so unpleasant, I wouldn't have given you a single penny!"

"The reason I gave you 200,000 is because it's a transaction, a sale, so outsiders can't say I robbed you!"

He patted her cheeks twice and asked, "So? Do you agree or not?"

"No way!"

Jiang Ruonan shouted angrily, "Two hundred thousand? That's practically robbery!"

"And my Hongyuan Group's buildings and land are worth hundreds of millions."

"Don't even mention that my company hasn't gone bankrupt yet. Even if it did, its assets, worth several hundred million, would be worth at least one hundred million if auctioned off!"

"You want to buy it for 200,000? No way!"

"Hehe! If your company doesn't have a door, how can we get in?"

Liu Qingyao wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile.

"That's backbone!"

"You won't sell it for 200,000?"

"Okay, I won't force you!"

"But I'm going to take revenge on everything you did to me before!"

After saying that, he waved to one of the bodyguards.

"Get a pair of pliers and knock off all ten of her fingernails!"

"yes!"

The bodyguard immediately turned around and walked out.

When Jiang Ruonan heard that they were going to knock off all ten of her fingernails, she was so frightened that her soul almost flew away, and she screamed.

"No, don't..."

"Are you scared?"

Liu Qingyao stretched her neck, brought her face close to hers, and grinned maliciously.

"It's not just about tapping your ten fingernails!"

"Even more cruel tortures await you."

"If you don't want to suffer this, just nod your head and sign the acquisition contract."

"Look, I've already drafted the contract!"

As he spoke, he took out a contract and tossed it next to her head.

"Well……"

Jiang Ruonan felt as if a bone was stuck in her throat, looking utterly hopeless.

Her Hongyuan Group is still operating and has not gone bankrupt; its assets are valued at at least several billion yuan.

Even if they go bankrupt, just those few buildings and the land are worth hundreds of millions!

Liu Qingyao's forced purchase of the property for 200,000 yuan was not a bargain; it was outright robbery.

It would be tantamount to handing Hongyuan Group over to Liu Qingyao for nothing, which she was extremely unwilling to do.

However, if she didn't agree, Liu Qingyao would torture her with cruel methods.

She felt as if she had fallen into hell, experiencing a despair she had never felt before.

Just as she was having a fierce internal struggle, the bodyguard returned with a pair of pliers in his hand.

Liu Qingyao took the pliers, held them up to Jiang Ruonan's face, and said with a sinister smile.

"Will you... agree?"

"I...I..."

Jiang Ruonan uttered a few "I"s, but couldn't finish the sentence.

A few seconds later, she spoke in a pleading tone.

"Liu Qingyao, oh no, President Liu, it was my fault before, I shouldn't have bullied you!"

"I apologize to you, I'll compensate you, please forgive me!"

"Giggle!"

Liu Qingyao laughed so hard her waist trembled.

"Tsk tsk, that's really strange. Another proud female CEO from Jiangnan, besides Fang Xueqing, actually apologized to me and begged me to let her go!"

"Jiang Ruonan, you old witch, weren't you very arrogant and disdainful of everyone before?"

"Today, will you also beg for mercy from me like a dog?"

He paused for a moment, then his smile faded and his face darkened.

“Old witch, I asked you for help when I was desperate, but you not only refused to help me, you also tried to take advantage of the situation to swallow up my company.”

"At the time, you never intended to let me go."

Why should I let you go today?

"I was wrong before!"

Jiang Ruonan said tremblingly, "If you let me go, I'll give you half of the company's shares, okay?"

She still couldn't bear to part with the entire Hongyuan Group and tried to persuade Liu Qingyao by offering her half of the shares.

However, Liu Qingyao pursed her lips.

"Tch, give me half? Do you think I'm a beggar?"

He then shouted sternly, "I want the whole thing, not half!"

"You still don't want to agree, right?"

"Fine, I'll torture you until you agree..."
