Chapter 822: Something Was Wrong
“Okay! I promise!” Fu Jiuxiao said firmly.
Long Zhan thought that he had misheard him. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Fu Jiuxiao. His voice was hoarse. “You mean that you’ll promise?”
This was not a small matter. He needed to sit back in the wheelchair.
Fu Jiuxiao was still very calm. However, only he knew that his palms were sweaty. He looked at Long Zhan with difficulty.
He did not just come to see Long Zhan in person.
He also arranged for Erlong to follow Yan Zheng to the places where Jiang Li might be taken.
Although the Long family was arrogant, they would not lock Jiang Li in the Long residence. It must be in some other hidden place.
Fu Jiuxiao clasped his hands and asked seriously, “So, can I see Jiang Li now?”
“What?” Long Zhan was obviously in shock. He looked at Fu Jiuxiao in surprise and did not come back to his senses.
Fu Jiuxiao sneered, “Does Mr. Long only want benefits and won’t hand her over?”
Long Zhan barely managed to pull his attention back. He could not help but look at the young man in front of him again, feeling incredulous. “Fu Jiuxiao, if you value love too much, it won’t end well. You see...”
Was he trying to persuade Fu Jiuxiao to give up?
Fu Jiuxiao just calmly listened to Long Zhan talking to himself and looked up at Long Gui who was standing in the shadows.
Long Gui did not move forward, but no one could ignore her existence.
Fu Jiuxiao coldly withdrew his gaze. The calmer he looked, the more impatient he was in his heart. In his eyes, Long Zhan was deliberately stalling for time, not being shocked by his choice.
“What else do you want?”
Long Zhan also noticed Long Gui’s existence, and a strange thought appeared in his mind.
What choice would Fu Jiuxiao make between breaking his leg and marrying Long Gui?
Any normal man would choose the latter.
Long Zhan sneered and said impolitely, “I have changed my mind. You don’t need to break your legs. As long as you marry my granddaughter, you can do whatever you want in Jing City.”
He had forgotten that Fu Jiuxiao had appeared in the Long family not for the Long family’s business, but for Jiang Li’s safety.
His attitude was especially arrogant, thinking that this was a gift to Fu Jiuxiao.
Fu Jiuxiao felt it was ridiculous. “Mr. Long, I choose to break my legs. I only want Jiang Li.”
Long Zhan only woke up when he heard Jiang Li’s name, and his face suddenly darkened. “You would rather not be able to walk in the future than...”
“I want to see Jiang Li,” Fu Jiuxiao reiterated.
How could Long Zhan let Fu Jiuxiao see Jiang Li?
It was because Jiang Li was not in his hands, right?
Long Zhan completely recalled the anonymous message he received before. It could already be said that the three assassins would be sent to the Long family.
As for whether the assassins sent by Long Zhan killed Jiang Li? It was no longer important.
What was important was that he did not have this little girl in his hands.
Long Zhan’s face was stiff as he shouted, “Fine, you can see Jiang Li, but you have to break your legs.”
Long Gui could not help but shout at this time, “Fu Jiuxiao, don’t fight anymore. Marrying me can save her, right?”
“Do you think she will still want you without your legs?”
Fu Jiuxiao was finally willing to face Long Gui’s existence, but what he said made Long Gui very angry.
“No matter what I become, she will want me.”
“Just like how no matter how much she suffers, I will seek justice for her.”
Long Gui’s hands were clenched into fists. When she was about to speak again, Long Zhan shouted at her and told her to go back to her room.
This was a negotiation.
Long Gui should not have appeared.
In order to get Jiang Li back through negotiation, Fu Jiuxiao had always maintained his composure and rationality. It was because of this that he realized that something was wrong with Long Zhan.
Long Zhan held Jiang Li as a hostage and could use her to make all kinds of demands. However, from the moment he entered the room, he was the one who had really proposed the terms of the exchange.
Why?
Could it be that Long Zhan did not know how to do business?
When Fu Jiuxiao noticed this, he had another guess, which made him want to leave the Long family as soon as possible.
He was too anxious.
Moreover, he was too careless.
Fu Jiuxiao had already stood up. “If Mr. Long is not willing to make the deal, then I will leave first.”
Long Zhan panicked, and then he really thought of Jiang Li.
Even if Jiang Li was not in his hands, he could still make use of her.
Long Zhan realized that he could not control Fu Jiuxiao’s constantly changing thoughts, so he immediately shouted, “Leave? I can cut off one of her fingers and give it to you as a gift.”
Fu Jiuxiao’s hands suddenly clenched into fists. At that moment, he suspected that his judgment was wrong.
He gnashed his teeth and said, “Mr. Long, isn’t this ridiculous? Could it be that something happened to my Li? You can’t make her appear in one piece, so you can only stall for time and force me to cooperate.”
Long Zhan only panicked for a moment and smiled disdainfully. “She’s just a girl. She doesn’t have much use in my heart.”
“I’ve changed my mind. I don’t have much use for your legs. As long as you’re willing to marry my Lil Gui and stop interacting with this woman in the future, I’ll let her go. What do you think?”
What did he think?
Of course, he would not do it.
