Fu Jing gracefully and elegantly seated herself on the sofa, offering a faint smile, “I’ve long heard about Miss Gu. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to my expectations.”

Gu Dai scoffed coldly, “The leader of Organization X seems quite different from what I had imagined.”

Puzzled, Fu Jing inquired, “In what way?”

Gu Dai’s gaze briefly swept over the man beside her before settling on Fu Jing’s face. “You don’t seem like someone with an appetite big enough to want to swallow four companies whole.”

Caught off guard, Fu Jing soon regained her composure, “That’s just your misconception. Besides, the allure of your four companies might tempt even those without desire, let alone me.”

Gu Dai nodded in agreement, “That’s true.”

Fu Jing was momentarily taken aback by Gu Dai’s concurrence, causing her to lose focus for a moment.

Gu Dai then quickly added, “First, I want to ensure that Song Ling and Chu Min are safe.”

Deep down, she was reluctant to concern herself with Song Ling, but to prevent Organization X from inflicting harm solely on Chu Min upon realizing her exclusive concern for him, she inquired about him as well.

Upon hearing Gu Dai’s words, Fu Jing instinctively glanced at the man beside her, Li Yuan, understanding his intentions from his gaze.

She addressed Gu Dai, “Once you hand over the shares of the four companies to me, we will naturally ensure Song Ling and Chu Min’s safety. Currently, with them in our possession, you’re not in a position to demand conditions.”

Gu Dai’s brows furrowed, her gaze towards Fu Jing growing colder.

Fu Jing stood her ground, and the room’s atmosphere tensed up accordingly.

Then, a ringing phone broke the deadlock.

Li Yuan took out his phone, his expression softening slightly upon seeing the caller ID, and he informed Fu Jing, “I need to take this call.”

With a slight nod, Fu Jing responded, “Okay.”

Gu Dai noticed the exchange of looks between Fu Jing and Li Yuan.

Once Li Yuan left the room, Fu Jing let out a sigh of relief, her rigid posture relaxing somewhat. She flickered her gaze towards Gu Dai, proposing, “Would you like to discuss an alternative for rescuing Song Ling and Chu Min?”

Gu Dai’s eyes dimmed, “What do you mean?”

Fu Jing’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked down, “I heard you sent your father’s brother to jail.”

Gu Dai’s frown deepened, puzzled by Fu Jing suddenly bringing up Su Shen, “What do you want me to do?”

With urgency, Fu Jing proposed, “Just hand that man over to me, and I might consider not taking the shares of your four companies.”

Gu Dai scoffed, “You keep mentioning the shares, but how can you be so sure that the Song and Zhou Corporations will hand them over to me, and that they would agree to pass them on to you?”

Fu Jing chuckled lightly, “Miss Gu’s charm is irresistible. I’m sure they would agree if you asked. However, your loss would indeed be significant, so I recommend handing over that man to me.”

Hearing Fu Jing’s persistence regarding Su Shen, Gu Dai grew increasingly curious about her relationship with Su Shen and Fu Chuan.

She inquired, “Why are you so interested in that man?”

The smile on Fu Jing’s lips faded as she stared coldly at Gu Dai, “That’s none of your concern.”

Gu Dai’s lips curved into a smile, sensing it was time to employ a certain tactic.

She casually began, “The Gu family’s recent advancements, especially in the entertainment industry, have been remarkable. I signed a talented and hardworking young man named Fu Chuan not long ago. In a short period of time, he has garnered numerous fans and has already acquired the ability to hold a concert.”

While speaking, Gu Dai keenly observed Fu Jing’s reactions, noting a softening in her demeanor upon the mention of Fu Chuan.

Before Gu Dai could delve further into her observations and questions, the door opened, and Li Yuan re-entered.

Upon seeing Li Yuan, Fu Jing’s gaze flickered, her body tensing as she loudly declared to Gu Dai, “Give up any hope of negotiation. There’s no room for discussion unless you hand over the shares of the four companies. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us to release Song Ling and Chu Min.”
