Chapter 1224: Be a human or don't be too greedy
"Am I wrong?" Ren Xia slowly shook his head: "Your Xue clan's power in Hengshan Capital is already big enough, isn't it good to continue to earn money that belongs to you honestly." Other people's money is someone else's, but you are trying to get it into your own hands, don't be too greedy, otherwise you will pay a heavier price. ”
The old man stopped talking and looked at the head of the Xue family.
Not only this old man, but everyone in the ancestral hall focused their eyes on the head of the family, waiting for the head of the family to make a final decision.
And the head of the family didn't want to be arbitrary, so he asked everyone: "What do you think?"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, but no one spoke.
After a long while, an old man sighed and said meaningfully, "The most important thing is to let people come back safely." ”
The meaning of these words is very clear, that is, to compromise with Ren Xia in exchange for those hostages in Penang.
As soon as the old man spoke, the others nodded and said, "Yes, peace is more important than anything else. ”
When they saw the guns of the special forces, they had in fact compromised, and it was only up to them to see who spoke first.
After all, they could die at any time, and there is no point in continuing to insist on this little benefit, and if the people are gone, what is the use of keeping the money.
"Okay......" The head of the Xue family saw that Ren Xia would really wash his blood here, so he had to give in: "The Xue family collectively withdrew shares, but since we have made such a big concession, Ren Xia, you should also show your sincerity." ”
"What do you want?" Ren Xia shrugged: "Money?"
"Nope. The head of the Xue family slowly shook his head: "What I want is Xue Jiahao, but you don't need to hand over Xue Jiahao to me, but no matter what we do to Xue Jiahao in the future, you don't interfere." ”
Ren Xia hesitated.
"Although Xue Jiahao plans to open a mountain hall and set up another clan, after all, he was a member of the Xue clan, which cannot be changed. The head of the Xue family dragged his voice and said slowly: "Since he has become a traitor to the clan, he must be dealt with according to the method of the traitor, so as to show the dignity of the clan." ”
Ren Xia smiled slyly: "I didn't hear what you just said." ”
Do you think Ren Xia is refusing, of course not, if he refuses to speak directly, claiming that he didn't hear anything is a default.
The head of the Xue family is a smart person, and he heard what Ren Xia meant: "Then it's decided." ”
"Let the Xue family withdraw their shares. Ren Xia told the head of the Xue family categorically: "I promise that one of the twenty-one people will go home." ”
"How can we believe you?" the head of the Xue family proposed: "You let ten people show your sincerity first!"
"No, I can't. Ren Xia directly refused: "I will not release it in batches, it must be after you hand over the equity, I will release everyone at once." ”
"How can we believe you if you don't put some people first?"
"You have to trust me. Ren Xia said very domineeringly: "Because you don't have any other choice." ”
"What if we hand over the equity and you don't let them go?"
"The equity is all in hand, why should I keep these people?" Ren Xia said helplessly: "Settling these people to stay, as well as eating and drinking, daily life, you need to invest a lot of energy and resources, do you think I have nothing to do and like to feed such a group of uncles?"
An old man asked: "What if you get the equity and then extort the ransom?"
"If that's the case, I can't guarantee it, it's hard for you to believe me. Ren Xia smiled: "However, I still say that, you have no other choice but to try to believe that I will release you as promised." ”
The head of the Xue family questioned: "Don't you hand over some guarantees?"
"No. Ren Xia shook his head slowly: "If you are really not at ease, you can inquire about my personality and what I have done in the past, and you will know if I am credible." ”
The head of the Xue family said, "We have already inquired. ”
"Then you should know that my spit is a nail. Ren Xia said in an unquestioning tone: "I promise to release people, I will definitely release people!"
The head of the Xue family looked at the muzzle of the gun on the wall, and felt that he really had no room for bargaining, so he could only continue to compromise: "You promise to release people?"
"Yes. Ren Xia lit himself a cigarette again: "If you want to see your relatives go home early, then go through the procedures for withdrawing shares as soon as possible, and a minute delay will delay the time for reunion." ”
The head of the Xue family looked at the people present again, and the people present nodded one after another, so the head of the Xue family made a final decision: "A word is a decision!"
"That's it. Ren Xia stood up and said slowly: "Since the important matters have been negotiated, I will leave." ”
The head of the Xue family asked: "Is this leaving, won't you stay for a few days?" After a pause, the head of the Xue family added: "I just sincerely invite you to visit here, not to take you as a hostage, after all, the scenery here in the New Territories is actually quite good." ”
"I'm here to talk about things, not to go sightseeing. Ren Xia walked up to the head of the Xue family, lowered his voice and said, "I kidnapped those people in Penang just to force you out!"
The head of the Xue family raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"
"Because the entire Xue clan is the only one who looks to you, what you have decided, others dare not overturn. Ren Xia said meaningfully: "Therefore, I can only talk to you about the negotiation, and if I negotiate with others, I may not admit it afterwards." ”
The head of the Xue family smiled intriguingly: "Xue Jiahao told you so, right?"
"That's right. Ren Xia nodded: "However, if you come forward to solve it this time, you are actually facing a great challenge, because if you can't solve it successfully, your prestige and status will be seriously challenged." As long as one of those people in Penang dies, there will inevitably be people who will question your ability and may ask for another head of the family. After all, you have been in poor health all these years and have not dealt with clan affairs very much, and I believe that there are many people who are willing to replace you in the throne. ”
The head of the Xue family sighed with emotion: "Xue Jiahao is really determined to be a traitor, and he told you everything." ”
"Xue Jiahao was forced to this, there is no other choice, in fact, he is comfortable in the middle, do you know who forced him to this?" Ren Xia didn't need the head of the Xue family to answer, and gave the answer directly: "It's me! I forced Xue Jiahao to have no choice, I can only be a traitor to the clan! And today I am forcing you again, you also have no choice but to agree to all my conditions!"
"Are you really sure I'm going to promise you?"
"Of course, because you want to continue to be the writer's master......" Ren Xia pouted: "Do you know why you are determined, you want to continue to be the writer's master?"
"I'm old, and I've always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact, it's not impossible for me to hand over the position of head of the family, and it's not impossible to ......"
"You're going to lie to others. Ren Xia impatiently interrupted the head of the Xue family: "If you were willing to hand over power, you would have taken the initiative to abdicate a long time ago, and you don't have to wait until today." I know human nature very well, and the head of the family, your old man, is also a human being, so you will definitely follow the laws of human nature. What are the laws of human nature? A very important thing is that power is a thing, unless you never touch it, as long as you touch it, you will definitely become addicted, and you will never let go easily!"
