What kind of problem is this?
Tan Mingjun's heart pounded, filled with extreme trepidation.
Before he could even look towards Ling Feng, Ling Feng had already answered Qiu Zelang's question.
"Jade Heart Fruit, I have it!"
At this, Qiu Zelang immediately stood up in excitement, "Is that true? Do you really have the Jade Heart Fruit?"
Tan Mingjun's mouth twitched. After his eyes darted around a few times, he pointed at Ling Feng and cursed, "You bastard Ling Feng, you really did kidnap Qiu Yunyan! What else do you have to say for yourself? Hand over the Jade Heart Fruit quickly, or you won't be leaving here alive today!"
Tan Mingjun could only hope for one thing now: that Ling Feng was lying and didn't have the Jade Heart Fruit at all. Otherwise, everything he had prepared would be in vain!
Ling Feng completely ignored Tan Mingjun's words!
Qiu Zelang was equally dismissive.
"You're called Ling Feng, right!"
A smile even appeared on Qiu Zelang's face, and his tone became much more polite.
"Heh, I don't care if you kidnapped my granddaughter Qiu Yunyan or not! All I want now is the Jade Heart Fruit. As long as you can give me the Jade Heart Fruit, I can give you ten billion, and even, my granddaughter Qiu Yunyan can be yours!" xxs壹贰
Hearing this, Lin Shuainan and Xiuxiu showed expressions of gnashing teeth and bitter hatred.
The way Qiu Zelang treated his own granddaughter was simply monstrous, akin to a tiger devouring its cubs!
It was against natural order, disgusting, and nauseating!
"No, Grandpa Qiu, how can you say that? We can't give them money!"
Tan Mingjun suddenly jumped out, quickly intervening. How could he watch this money slip away?
"Little Tan, this is a matter for our Qiu family. You are not qualified to interfere! Stop talking nonsense!"
Qiu Zelang reprimanded Tan Mingjun unceremoniously.
Tan Mingjun's mouth was completely pursed, his face looking as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Seeing this, Ling Feng's lips curved into a cold, disdainful smile.
"Heh, what do you say? Ling Feng, is this business worth discussing?"
"You want to discuss business? Fine!"
Ling Feng said with a cold laugh, "However, before we discuss business, you have to agree to one thing for me!"
"What thing?" Qiu Zelang couldn't help but frown. He hadn't even seen the item yet, and now he was setting conditions?
Ling Feng directly pointed at Tan Mingjun, "Make this person disappear from my sight. Otherwise, there's no business to discuss!"
"Ah? Ling Feng, you bastard, do you think this is your home? What right do you have to kick me out?"
Tan Mingjun's face turned extremely red, and he couldn't help but curse at Ling Feng!
Qiu Zelang also showed a look of difficulty.
Offending Tan Mingjun was not a wise choice. Tan Mingjun had considerable influence behind him, and if not careful, it could lead to a very significant dispute.
However, for the sake of survival, it was worth taking the risk.
But Qiu Zelang, being cautious, stared at Ling Feng and said in a deep voice, "How can you prove you have the Jade Heart Fruit?"
Ling Feng flipped his wrist, and the Jade Heart Fruit appeared in his hand.
Seeing this, Tan Mingjun's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, "You really got the Jade Heart Fruit!"
"Didn't you get it?"
Ling Feng retorted with a cold smile, his words carrying a deep meaning!
Upon hearing this, Tan Mingjun's face turned even paler.
Then, Qiu Zelang's face turned flushed, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, seemingly unconcerned.
"Indeed, cough, cough, it is indeed the Jade Heart Fruit! Haha!"
As his laughter subsided, Qiu Zelang shot Tan Mingjun a look and said, "Little Tan, please leave my Qiu family for now!"
"Grandpa Qiu, you..."
"I told you to leave my Qiu family. What? Do you want me to escort you out myself?"
Qiu Zelang's face turned extremely grim!
Tan Mingjun's expression immediately became one of gnashing teeth, and then he snorted coldly, "Hmph! You surnamed Qiu, this is an insult to me and a provocation to my sect! You wait, I will definitely make you regret this!"
"Oh? Tan Mingjun, are you threatening me? Or do you not intend to leave?"
Killing intent flickered in Qiu Zelang's eyes. In his opinion, Tan Mingjun daring to provoke him was tantamount to seeking death!
Tan Mingjun shivered all over, then snorted coldly and quickly departed.
However, as Tan Mingjun passed by Ling Feng, he ominously left a message, "You've got guts, but since you dared to come to Huayan City, don't even think about leaving alive!"
Ling Feng completely ignored Tan Mingjun.
After Qiu Zelang watched Tan Mingjun's back disappear, he then said to Ling Feng, "Heh, Ling Feng, now we can start discussing business..."
"Yang Fei, follow Tan Mingjun!"
"Yes!"
Abruptly, Ling Feng's command interrupted Qiu Zelang's words. Following that, Yang Fei followed, his speed incredibly fast!
Qiu Zelang above was startled but quickly regained his composure.
But before Qiu Zelang could speak again, Ling Feng put away the Jade Heart Fruit in his hand and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Qiu Yunyan did not manage to pick the Jade Heart Fruit herself, but I can tell you that after I escorted her out of the mountains, I gave her a Jade Heart Fruit!"
Hearing this, Qiu Zelang's eyes narrowed.
"Is that true?"
"Tan Mingjun is full of lies, can't you tell?"
Ling Feng retorted coldly!
Qiu Zelang gasped.
"So, what you said before is true? This Tan Mingjun really fled in the face of danger, and even used my granddaughter as a shield?"
"Indeed!"
Ling Feng stared indifferently at Qiu Zelang.
"Therefore, if he doesn't know your granddaughter's whereabouts, he would think your granddaughter had already perished in the serpent's belly!"
*Crack!*
With that, Ling Feng threw out an item – a scale! It shimmered with a green light and was as large as a washbasin!
"This is the scale of an exotic serpent!"
Qiu Zelang's eyes widened completely, "Did... did Tan Mingjun kidnap my granddaughter? He's here to get the ransom!"
"Haha, you old geezer aren't that stupid after all!"
Even Lin Shuainan couldn't help but laugh this time.
Qiu Zelang's face turned extremely red. As Ling Feng casually put the scale away, Qiu Zelang cursed venomously, "This scoundrel, no matter what, I will not give him money!"
Ling Feng sneered upon hearing this.
"For Qiu Yunyan, you naturally won't pay. But for the Jade Heart Fruit, and for your own life, you are willing to pay ten billion, including your granddaughter's life!"
"What do you mean by that?" Qiu Zelang's heart felt a sense of unease. He had a feeling that Ling Feng wasn't really looking to do business with him.
It was as if, in Ling Feng's eyes, ten billion, Qiu Yunyan, or the Jade Heart Fruit held no value.
"What I mean is... the kidnapper will call you soon! This time, the Jade Heart Fruit will be the bargaining chip!"
