In Lin Tian's villa, Bai Shishi was holding a cellphone, smiling luminously. The feeling of making an enemy's veins pop from anger was just too gratifying.

"Lin Tian, do you think this will make that old guy Wang Daoran sick with rage?" Bai Shishi said, covering her mouth as she laughed.

Lin Tian chuckled, saying nothing.

Hanging up on the secretary twice in a row was Lin Tian's bad idea; since they hadn't taken down the Wang Family yet, it was satisfying to gross them out a bit.

Yan Xinrou, in high spirits, also laughed along, "Should we wait for Wang Daoran to call himself, and hang up on him again? I think it's fun to tease that old guy."

Lin Tian was sweating profusely; his mother-in-law really knew how to play.

Soon, Bai Shishi's phone rang again, and the corners of everyone's mouths slightly curved upwards as they laughed, knowing this call must be from Wang Daoran.

Sure enough, the phone soon echoed with Wang Daoran's gritted teeth voice, "Bai Shishi!"

"Who are you? If there's nothing, I'll hang up," Bai Shishi said mercilessly.

"Bai Shishi! Stop with the spooky act, what the hell do you want?" Wang Daoran roared loudly.

Lin Tian reached out and gently said: "Miss Bai, let me talk to him."

Bai Shishi handed the phone to Lin Tian without much hesitation.

Taking the phone, Lin Tian immediately said: "Old bastard, what's the matter?"

Wang Daoran was taken aback, then incredulously asked again: "What did you call me?"

"Old bastard. Wang Sicong is the little bastard, and you're his bastard dad, aren't you the old bastard?"

How many years has it been?

How many years has it been since anyone dared to speak to Wang Daoran with such disdain?

How many years has it been since someone dared to insult him like this?

Even those hidden people... absolutely dared not treat him like this.

Wang Daoran felt his blood boiling, almost bringing out a heart attack even without having one.

Wang Daoran wanted to curse back, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.

He didn't know how to curse; those casual vulgar words street thugs use weren't part of his vocabulary, except "shit" and "goddamn," he didn't know any other curses.

So wanting to curse, he couldn't get the words out.

"Let Bai Shishi take the call!" Wang Daoran was extremely angry, further increasing his hatred for Bai Shishi, what did it mean for her to let a little rascal take the call? Looking down on me, Wang Daoran?

Lin Tian laughed and said, "Whatever you want to say to me works too, right. Let me introduce myself, I'm Lin Tian. You don't need to introduce yourself, I know you're old bastard."

Lin Tian?

Hearing these two words, Wang Daoran froze for a moment, not even noticing he got cursed at again.

"You're not dead?" Wang Daoran blurted out.

Lin Tian sneered, "So it was indeed you who sent people."

Only now did Wang Daoran realize he misspoke.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Daoran wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, but today was just too infuriating. Simultaneously, he was somewhat relieved, Lin Tian being alive meant Wang Sicong's safety still had room for negotiation.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Daoran tried to calm himself and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"What do we want? Are you referring to those five articles?"

"You're right, we had already agreed to have the final negotiation the day after tomorrow, why are you disregarding the agreement and starting to expose dirty dealings?" Wang Daoran's voice rose again with anger towards the end.

"Indeed, the negotiation is the day after tomorrow, but it's not your place to interfere in what we do, right? Clearly, you're very angry, but this is just turning the tables on you. Did you forget what you did to the Bai Family a while back?"

Lin Tian paused, then asked with a sneer, "Clearly, there's no intersection nor grudge between your Wang family and the Bai family, so why did you make a move against the Bai Family? It doesn't seem to benefit you at all, does it? Tell us why."

Not only Lin Tian was puzzled, but even Bai Shishi, Yan Xinrou, and others couldn't figure it out. Two huge families, both powerful, for one to overthrow another would require full effort.

If there's no deep-seated grudge or interests at stake.

Why did the Wang family do this?

Are their heads messed up?

Wang Daoran did not answer Lin Tian's question, he merely grunted in irritation. Inside, he fumed, what do you mean no grudge?

Is ruining our deal with the Sakula Country people not a grudge?

Is opposing Du Dahai not a grudge?

Of course, Wang Daoran would never say these things aloud, fearing Lin Tian would record him.

"Do you even have the face to call us and question us? Isn't it just exposé of some unspeakable scandals? If those matters were laid on the police's desk, you wouldn't even have the chance to question me, right?" Lin Tian said casually.

The implication being: I've already shown mercy, don't take kindness for granted.

"Hmph, do you insist on a lose-lose situation before stopping?" Wang Daoran still questioned arrogantly.

Lin Tian couldn't help but laugh, only it was a sneer. "Wang Daoran, and to think you're a chairman, and the patriarch of the Wang family. Has your lifetime gone to waste? When you moved against the Bai Family, did you not think of such consequences?"

With a heavy grunt, Wang Daoran unhappily said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's negotiate sooner and try to minimize both parties' losses. Let's negotiate tomorrow morning."

Wang Daoran almost used a commanding tone.

He was getting a bit impatient, not wanting to delay any longer. Whether for the interests of the Wang family or the safety of Wang Sicong, this matter needed to be resolved quickly.

Originally, according to Wang Daoran's plan, he intended to take down Bai Shishi and Lin Tian in one move. Then, launch an attack on the Bai Family, who would have no strength to resist, and swallowing the Bai Family would just be a matter of time.

However, Wang Daoran hadn't expected that Lin Tian and Bai Shishi were both unscathed, and moreover, had things capable of threatening him.

Things have already gone beyond his control, so it must be resolved immediately!

"You say tomorrow morning it's tomorrow morning? Do you think you're the only one your mother gave birth to, making you the boss?" Lin Tian retorted disdainfully.

"Then what do you propose?" Wang Daoran grew increasingly impatient.

Lin Tian seemed to have already anticipated Wang Daoran's thoughts, casually replying, "Negotiation is fine. But you don't get to decide the time and place. Let's negotiate the day after tomorrow, at the Bai Family's Celestial Dragon Restaurant. Of course, you can choose not to come, but I don't care either way."

Finishing, Lin Tian hung up the phone, not giving Wang Daoran the slightest chance to oppose.

The reason Lin Tian wanted to set the time for the day after tomorrow was for two reasons.

The first was to assert his dominance, to tell Wang Daoran, now I'm the one calling the shots, you're just an old bastard!

The second was to allow those five articles to ferment on the internet; three days would be enough for the situation to escalate further. Big enough for relevant authorities to pay a visit and create trouble for the Wang family, just like a while ago when police came to the Xianglong Tea House.
