Chapter 177: Going to the Skull

Pei Shan crossed her legs, a playful smile on her face, stared at Ma Xuan with contempt, and said slowly: "Oh?"

"I'm suddenly not that interested in money anymore!"

She tilted her head slightly and gave a sly smile.

Ma Xuan frowned and looked at her gloomily, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

He lowered his voice and warned: "Ms. Pei, do you know what you are doing?"

"The Lan family is not someone you can easily provoke."

Pei Shan didn't seem to care about Ma Xuan's threat. Instead, she chuckled and said, "It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with the Lan family."

She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

Full of provocation, Ma Xuan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and glared at Pei Shan angrily.

Reluctantly, he spoke again: "Ms. Pei, do you know that you are playing with fire?"

"The Lan family is a powerful force that you cannot challenge casually."

"I advise you to put away those little thoughts, so as not to bring disaster upon yourself."

After hearing this, Pei Shan snorted with disdain.

She knew in her heart that Gu Yannian was a trump card in her hand and there were so many ways to use him.

That's why she won't hand him over obediently.

A successful businessman needs to have keen insight and decisive decision-making ability, be good at seizing market opportunities, respond flexibly to various challenges, and always remain calm and rational.

For Pei Shan, Gu Yannian in her hands is the bargaining chip for negotiation or transaction with the Lan family.

Her idea is to transform Gu Yannian into the greatest economic benefit.

Of course, Pei Shan’s plan was more than just this.

Pei Shan stood up, looked at Ma Xuan firmly and said, "Mr. Ma Xuan, you don't have to persuade me anymore."

His tone was firm, revealing an unshakable determination.

Ma Xuan couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Pei Shan to be so stubborn.

Pei Shan continued, "If I have to talk, I will only talk to Lan Yonggui's son."

This statement shows that she has clear demands on her negotiating partner and will not compromise easily.

Ma Xuan was very annoyed. He originally thought that he could persuade Pei Shan to change her mind, but now it seemed that she had made up her mind and would not be easily swayed.

Damn it! How dare this woman?

If the Lan family gets ruthless, is she really not afraid?

Ma Xuan wondered to himself, why is this woman so difficult to deal with?

She didn't even care about her own safety.

Ma Xuan originally planned to exchange some money for the person, but now it seems impossible.

Pei Shan looked at Ma Xuan's uncertain expression and said, "Mr. Ma Xuan, I also advise you not to do anything tricky."

"Otherwise, I will blow Gu Yannian to pieces with a bomb."

“No one benefits”

The tone was full of threats, which made Ma Xuan feel very unhappy.

In the end, I can only say, "I hope you don't regret the decision you made today."

"Humph"

After Ma Xuan left, Jiang Huaiqiu asked in confusion: "Miss, there is no need for us to conflict with the Lan family!"

"Then Gu Yannian..."

Pei Shan interrupted him, "I have no intention of conflicting with the Lan family."

"I have my own considerations, everyone go back and rest."

China - Linhai City - Lan Family

After Lan Yonggui hung up the phone, he couldn't help but sigh: "Pei Kun's daughter is not simple!"

"Much better than her father."

At this time, Lan Yaoxia gently opened the door and walked in. Seeing her father sitting at the desk, she asked softly, "Father, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lan Yonggui waved his hand to signal his son to sit down first, then said, "There is news about Gu Yannian."

Lan Yaoxia had just sat down. When she heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face. She couldn't wait to ask, "Father, where is he?"

Lan Yaoxia had already thought of various ways to torture Gu Yannian in order to relieve her hatred.

"In Angji Country, he was caught by the fish that escaped the net of the Pei family."

"what?"

Lan Yaoxia frowned.

"I sent people to negotiate, but they refused to release him," said Lan Yonggui.

"Reluctant? Is it because the money isn't enough?" Lan Yaoxia asked.

Lan Yonggui shook his head and said, "No, they specifically want to talk to you."

Lan Yaoxia was a little confused and asked, "Oh? Talk to me?"

Lan Yonggui nodded, picked up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, then put the cup down and continued, "Yes, this matter is a bit strange."

Lan Yaoxia was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and her eyes became sharp, "Father, did they say what conditions they wanted in order to hand over Gu Yannian?"

Lan Yonggui shook his head. "No, but they made it clear that they would only talk to you."

Is that all?

Lan Yaoxia raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, "It seems that they want to use Gu Yannian to threaten us."

Lan Yonggui nodded, "Although it is possible."

“But I don’t think they want to provoke us either.”

"But what do they want to do?"

Lan Yaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Father, no matter what their purpose is, we cannot let them succeed."

"It's so weird, they don't even want to get away, but want to talk to me instead"

"In that case I will take care of this matter myself and see what they really want."

Lan Yonggui looked at his son worriedly, "Be careful, don't fall into their trap."

Lan Yaoxia nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, Dad, I won't be easily tricked by them."

Lan Yaoxia thought to herself that this incident might be hiding a bigger conspiracy, and she must be careful in dealing with it and not let them succeed.

Lan Yonggui said: "Gu Yannian who wants to be alive is still dead."

"Dead people's words are simple"

"If you want to live, it's troublesome"

The hatred for Gu Yannian has long been deeply rooted in Lan Yaoxia's bones.

Of course, he hoped that Gu Yannian could be handed over to him alive, so that he could torture him personally and make him feel a life worse than death.

If Gu Yannian died like this, it would be a relief for him.

Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on Lan Yaoxia's lips.

"Father, let me go for a trip!" Lan Yaoxia said to her father Lan Yonggui.

Lan Yonggui frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This Gu Yannian..."

Lan Yaoxia said fiercely, "Don't worry, father. I will let him experience all the pain and then die slowly."

Lan Yonggui nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, you can, but you must be careful."

Then he reminded: "The Pei family now is no longer the Pei family of the past. Those people are almost desperate criminals. Who knows what crazy things they might do."

Lan Yaoxia nodded to show that she understood and promised to be careful.

He knew the dangers of being in a foreign country, but was willing to take the risk in order to get revenge.
