Zuo Xianglong hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "If I take you to see the drug manufacturing site, will you increase your investment in me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qian's mind stirred.

It seems that Zuo Xianglong has fallen for the trap.

But not wanting to arouse Zuo Xianglong's suspicion, he pretended to be hesitant: "How much I can ultimately invest will depend on how much I assess after I see the site."

"Wang Qian, don't push your luck."

Zuo Xianglong's face darkened. "The drug business is our biggest secret. I've already made an exception by taking you to the site for inspection. If you continue to play me like this, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

He paused, then added coldly, "Don't forget, you're on my turf right now. With just one word from me, you won't leave alive!"

Wang Qian frowned slightly.

He had to admit that he was now in the lion's den, and his life was in Zuo Xianglong's hands.

After a quick assessment, he asked, "Do you want me to make the first offer?"

"good!"

Zuo Xianglong nodded. "You make your offer first. If the price satisfies me, I'll take you to the site for an inspection. If I don't..."

He snorted coldly and said, "Not only will you not be able to leave today, but I will also make you visit your wife and son."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qian's eyes instantly turned cold.

Threatening him is acceptable, but threatening his family is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Now it's just the two of us. I'm giving you the chance to make money together, but I also hope you won't put me in a difficult position!"

Seeing the change in Wang Qian's expression, Zuo Xianglong smiled jokingly, "Now, you can make your bid."

Wang Qian frowned, his expression shifting unpredictably.

After a moment, he seemed to give in and said in a deep voice, "One million five hundred thousand!"

"Ha, one and a half million?"

Zuo Xianglong laughed, but his laughter was full of sarcasm. "Since you're so insincere, there's no need to continue the discussion!"

"How many do you want?" Wang Qian asked.

Zuo Xianglong held up three fingers, stared at Wang Qian, and said, word by word, "Three million, not a penny less!"

Three million?

Wang Qian feigned anger, "I don't have that much money."

"But I seem to remember you saying yesterday that you could invest two million, or even three million?" Zuo Xianglong said with a half-smile.

"you……"

Wang Qian was speechless.

"Alright, I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you want to cooperate with me, come up with three million!"

Zuo Xianglong, as if issuing an ultimatum, said decisively, "Give me this money, and not only will you get half of the profits from all the businesses on West Street, but I will also protect you and your family from being bullied. From now on, I will be your protector."

"but……"

He changed the subject, "If you refuse, I don't need to elaborate on the consequences; you should know them yourself!"

Wang Qian fell silent.

His expression shifted drastically for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I can offer three million, but please keep your promise. Also, I need to go and inspect your drug business in person."

"Haha, deal!"

Seeing Wang Qian compromise, Zuo Xianglong finally smiled, "This is how cooperation should be!"

Then, he reached out and patted Wang Qian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, as long as the money is right, you'll be my brother from now on, the second-in-command of Xidu, and we'll be on the same side!"

"Now can you take me to see your drug business?" Wang Qian said.

"no!"

Zuo Xianglong shook his head. "I'll take you there after you bring the money."

"Are you afraid I won't pay if I watch it?" Wang Qian said, somewhat annoyed.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this matter is of great importance. I need to see your sincerity first before I can show my sincerity.”

"Well... okay!"

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Qian had no choice but to nod. "Okay, I'll bring the money tomorrow."

"Can!"

After the agreement was reached, Zuo Xianglong's attitude instantly changed completely: "I'll be here waiting for you tomorrow!"

At this point, he added meaningfully, "By the way, I'm a person who always values ​​integrity and doesn't like being stood up. If I find out that you're not coming tomorrow, or you haven't brought any money, I'll have to deal with things according to the rules of the underworld."

Wang Qian's face darkened.

His eyes flickered for a moment, then he opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

[Squeak]

The door opened, and a group of Zuo Xianglong's henchmen were standing outside, all looking at him.

"How did it go? Did you reach an agreement?"

"This kid looks rather pale!"

Should we let him go?

A group of people surrounded him; without Zuo Xianglong's orders, they would not let Wang Qian leave.

In the crowd, Tao Yu kept casting questioning glances at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian sensed it too, but did not respond.

"Get out of the way!"

Zuo Xianglong's voice came from behind Wang Qian, "From now on, Wang Qian is my brother. You all have to call him Brother Qian, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the group of underlings immediately realized what was going on.

"It seems the deal has been reached!"

"Brother Qian!"

Please take care of me in the future!

A group of people quickly put on smiling faces.

However, while flattering them, these people's faces and tones were full of mockery.

Wang Qian naturally saw it too. He glanced back at Zuo Xianglong one last time before burying his head and striding away.

...

"Second brother, has this kid fallen for it?"

How did you talk to him?

How much money did he promise to give?

"What if this kid just runs away?"
