Liu Liang knew that his bid was too low and he had offended these experts, so he raised the price to 10 million, but they remained indifferent and just curled their lips with a somewhat sarcastic expression.
If the golden silkworm Gu is not removed, what will happen to the company? Is it possible that the building will collapse? Liu Liang's hands began to tremble slightly, and he looked at Chen Li with pleading eyes. Chen Li apologized for him and raised the price to 20 million, but these people still ignored her.
At this moment, the vice president called again, his tone more anxious than before: "Boss Liu, something bad has happened. Our subsidiary in the United States has been attacked by a chaebol, the capital chain has been broken, and there is a bank run. Please come back for the meeting as soon as possible!"
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon." Liu Liang broke out in a cold sweat and prepared to go to the company without even having time to change out of his wrinkled suit. In the few minutes he was putting on his shoes, the vice president called again and told him that the company's stock price had begun to plummet, and that someone must have targeted Liu Finance and was ready to take action.
"There is more than one company that has taken action, and they are all from Wall Street. They should be veteran financial giants. I don't know what they see in Liu's Finance. Although we have developed well in recent years, we are not worthy of their attention. Mr. Liu, have you offended someone?" the vice president asked in a trembling voice.
"Who could I offend? You keep the shareholders calm, I'll be there soon!" Liu Liang spoke toughly, but he was actually in a panic. He squeezed his feet into his shoes with great force and grimaced in pain. Without even having time to stand firmly, he opened the webpage to check the company's stock price. Looking at the chart that showed the stock price falling all the way from a high point and almost hitting bottom, his heart was bleeding.
In less than ten minutes, the market value of Liu Finance evaporated by tens of billions, which almost cost him his life! But he would never believe that this was Lin Dandong's doing. She was just a powerless girl. Where did she get the energy to incite so many financial tycoons?
He took out his cell phone and called his old friends, trying to find out some information, but these people either didn't answer or avoided the call and had no intention of lending a helping hand.
In just a few minutes, the share price of Liu Finance plunged again, and even the web page was filled with news that the Liu chaebol was about to go bankrupt. Liu Liang knew that if the American subsidiary failed to withstand this wave of sniping, the Liu family chaebol would really go bankrupt, because he had already transferred most of the company's funds abroad.
He stood at the door waiting for the driver to drive over, looking at the closed iron gate not far away, and suddenly felt that he was at the end of the road. It had only been one night, why had his whole world been turned upside down?
Chen Li no longer had the strength and arrogance she had before. Chen Qiu and Chen Chu are still in the ICU. Chen's company is in trouble on its own and cannot help Liu's at all. What would she do if Liu also collapsed? Where did she get the money to buy Lin Dan's life, and what could she use to save her family?
She walked quickly to Liu Liang's side, wanting to say something, but she choked up as she opened her mouth: "Husband, the company won't really go bankrupt, will it?"
The black-robed man smiled and said, "Golden silkworms can devour fortune and are one of the favorite insects of witchcraft masters. If they are short of money, they will throw a golden silkworm into a family and let it devour the family's fortune. In half a year or a few days, the family will encounter a disaster and become impoverished. The witchcraft master will take the golden silkworm back and take away the family's original fortune. Your company must have been planted with a golden silkworm. The longer it stays in the building, the more fortune your family will lose. Judging from the calls you just received, this golden silkworm is very powerful and is devouring your family's fortune at a very fast speed. You only spared five million, but asked us to save a company with a market value of tens of billions. This deal you made is really a good deal."
The old man with a celestial bearing also said slowly: "Once the golden silkworm Gu comes out, your family will be destroyed and everyone will die."
The man with braided hair sneered, "Five million to save your family's fortune, you treat it like a beggar."
Liu Liang was so scared that his face turned pale. If Chen Li hadn't supported him, he would have collapsed on the ground by now. How could he know that Lin Dan's methods would become more and more terrible. First, she took his life, and then destroyed his company. She wanted to leave him with nothing!
"I'll pay another 100 million and ask all the masters to help me kill this golden silkworm Gu!" he said in a trembling voice.
Several people sat on the sofa calmly, unmoved.
"Two hundred million." Liu Liang gritted his teeth.
There was silence in the living room.
"Five hundred million. I want Lin Dan dead, and I want to get rid of that golden silkworm Gu!" Liu Liang simply shouted out an unimaginably high price.
The man in black robe then slowly stood up and chuckled, "Let's go and take a look at your company."
"Since Boss Liu is so generous, we will do our best." The other three were also satisfied and went out to catch the ride.
Liu Liang finally came back to life and quickly climbed into the passenger seat. Chen Li was worried, so she drove a car and followed behind. Now, she not only has to worry about the lives of Chen Qiu and others, but also the survival of the Chen and Liu families. Before replacing Lin Dan's life, she never thought that she would fall into such a terrible quagmire.
The group hurried to Liu's headquarters and went to the top floor of the skyscraper.
"Bring over three catties and eight ounces of gold and three catties and eight ounces of silver. I need to perform a ritual." The man in black robe ordered.
The other three just stood aside and watched without saying a word. They can wait until the old monster in black robe lures out the poisonous insect and then it will not be too late to pick the peaches.
The man in black robe obviously knew what they were thinking, but he just sneered and ignored them. Liu Liang immediately ordered someone to send gold and silver jewelry over, then retreated to a corner and watched from afar. Chen Li held his arm tightly, her face looked normal but her fingertips were trembling slightly. In fact, she had been afraid and regretted it for a long time, but she was just trying not to say it.
The man in black robe placed gold and silver objects on a tray, sprinkled some dark red blood, which was not sure whether it was human or animal blood, lit three incense sticks, then sat cross-legged and chanted a spell. A few minutes later, a golden silkworm crawled out from the crack in the wall and crawled towards the glittering gold and silver jewels.
Wherever it crawls, black smoke will emerge and a hissing sound will be heard, eventually leaving a corroded groove, which shows how strong its toxicity is.
The man with braided hair gasped and said in amazement: "It's so poisonous, it hit a hard spot!"
“To swallow up a large company’s fortune in one night, he is at least a Gu King.” The old man was not surprised.
Liu Liang and Chen Li shrank back again, their faces pale.
While they were talking, the golden silkworm had already crawled onto the tray and began to devour the gold and silver jewelry, but it also swallowed the black and red blood. Seeing this scene, the man in black robe sneered, as if he had already won. Sure enough, not long after, the golden silkworm Gu began to roll violently, as if it was poisoned, and then fell into the tray, and became motionless.
"Master, is it dead?" Liu Liang asked expectantly.
"How can it survive after eating the blood of the Bodhisattva?" The man in black robe picked up the insect and played with it in front of his eyes. The so-called Bodhisattva blood is a mixture of rooster blood, black dog blood, female menstrual blood and gecko blood. It can almost restrain all evil things in the world, but it requires a secret method to refine it. This method had long been lost, but the man didn't know where he found the recipe from, but he managed to restore it.
The other three who thought there would be a fierce battle couldn't help but feel disappointed, but Liu Liang and Chen Li laughed happily. But the next second, their expressions were replaced by horror. The golden silkworm Gu suddenly turned blood red, twisted its body and bit the man in black robe.
The man in black robe immediately threw the golden silkworm Gu away, then howled in pain while holding his arm. In just two or three seconds, his right arm began to turn black at a speed visible to the naked eye. If the poison spread to his heart, he would surely die.
"How could this be! How could the golden silkworm Gu instantly turn into a blood silkworm Gu!" The old man quickly hid behind his disciple, his face no longer as calm and composed as before.
The man in black robe pulled out a dagger and cut off his right arm, then fell to the ground gasping for breath. In the blink of an eye, he was completely disabled. The blood silkworm Gu is one of the ten most vicious Gu, which specializes in taking human lives. It is extremely poisonous and moves swiftly. It will attack immediately upon smelling the scent of a living person. Even steel will be melted by its toxin if it touches it, let alone flesh and blood.
The three men fled, but after only a few steps, the man with braided hair was bitten on the ankle by the blood silkworm Gu and turned into a pool of thick blood. Seeing it coming at him like lightning, the old man had no choice but to throw out a ghost flag to block it. This ghost flag is made of soul and is not made of gold or wood, so it will naturally not be dissolved by toxins.
However, the blood silkworm instantly turned into a black ghost silkworm, crawled onto the ghost banner, and gnawed it into pieces. Hundreds of ghosts lost their restraints and escaped from the banners, transforming into a ball of thick black evil energy. The ghost silkworm raised its head and began to spin silk. In the blink of an eye, it formed a cocoon and transformed into a colorful butterfly, dancing in the black yin energy. Spots of fluorescent light scattered from its wings, expelling the black air.
The ferocious ghosts were cut into pieces by these small wings and eventually turned into pieces and disappeared.
The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, and the young apprentice he was holding broke free from his hand and jumped from a skyscraper several hundred meters high, turning into a puff of black smoke in mid-air. Apparently, he is also a ghost.
Liu Liang and Chen Li were so shocked by the series of unexpected events that they couldn't even scream.
The old man failed to catch the little ghost he raised and immediately spat out blood again, "Five-Colored Gu King! This is actually a Five-Colored Gu King! What is the name of the person you provoked and where is he from?" It was not until this time that he remembered the most important thing, which was to inquire about the target person's origin.
"She, her name is Lin Dan, she comes from Haicheng, just a little girl. Master, you should be able to deal with her, right?" Liu Liang said with the last glimmer of hope.
“The person you want to deal with is actually Lin Dan?” The old man spat out a mouthful of blood and said cruelly, “If I had known that you had offended Lin Dan, no one would take this deal, let alone 50 billion, even if it was 50 billion! You’d better buy your own coffins as soon as possible!”
