224: Chapter 224: The diator 224: Chapter 224: The diator Half an hour later, Su Beicheng’s motorcade arrived outside the Du Family Manor.
The Du Family Manor, located on the opposite bank of the Huangpu River, resided within the most prosperous old town area of foreign-style houses.
The entire spread of red-brick foreign-style houses in the Shanghai seaside were all properties of the Du Family.
A hundred years ago, this place had been the headquarters base of the Qing Gang.
Now, each of these old foreign-style houses is priced at over a hundred million.
And the Du Family Manor was situated within the largest of these old foreign-style house buildings.
This old foreign-style house had been the Qing Gang headquarters a hundred years ago and was the residence of the then-overlord, Du Yuexiao.
Today, this foreign-style house had been inherited by Du Chao.
Su Beicheng’s motorcade stopped, and Su Beicheng personally invited the old leader to get out of the car, they were about to enter the Du Family Manor when they were stopped by the bodyguards at the door of the foreign-style house.
All around the old foreign-style house were black-suited bodyguards of the Du Family, their presence oppressive and grim.
The bodyguards at the door…
searched Su Beicheng and the elder leader, Gu Qinglian, ensuring they weren’t carrying any dangerous weapons before they were allowed to enter.
However, the bodyguards who ca with Su Beicheng were stopped outside, for this group of bodyguards were not qualified to enter the vacation manor.
Su Beicheng and the old leader passed through the ancient foreign-style house and ca to the manor’s living room.
At that mont inside the manor’s living room, two solemn rows of Du Family mbers stood around.
Cold, murderous intent lurked in the eyes of each mber.
As Su Beicheng entered the living room, he was extrely cautious, fearing that he might provoke the Du Family.
Although it was called a living room, the entire space had…
not a single chair offered, not even a place to sit.
Su Beicheng and the old leader could only stand in the living room and wait.
The two had been waiting for over an hour…
when the master of the Du Family finally showed up.
Du Chao walked out from the inner hall, dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit, hands clasped behind his back, his expression cold.
Du Chao’s gaze was icy as he slowly made his way through the living room to the front of the hall.
One of his followers carefully stepped forward, squatting down to serve as a seat with his body.
Du Chao naturally sat on the body of his subordinate.
Using a subordinate’s body as a chair, treating them like a dog.
Such an occurrence could only happen in an underworld family like the Du Family.
Su Beicheng’s gaze sharpened when he saw this, a sense of dread arising.
Du Chao’s aura was formidable.
Du Chao glanced over at the two people in the living room.
“Gu Qinglian, Mr.
Gu, right?” Du Chao asked indifferently.
The elder leader, Gu Qinglian, nodded, “Indeed, Mr.
Du, good day.
I had the honor of interacting with you professionally ten years ago.
I’m privileged that you still rember .”
Working in the legal bureau, Gu Qinglian dealt with many court cases.
Over a decade ago, the Du Family had not yet retreated from public life.
As an underground family, they were involved in continuous illegal activities, facing nurous court cases.
Therefore, Gu Qinglian had so dealings with the Du Family, although not very deep.
“May I know what brings Mr.
Gu to visit the Du Manor today?” Du Chao, sitting on his subordinate, took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep inhale.
Gu Qinglian spoke with a heavy tone, “Today, at the request of young Su, I’ve co here to act as a diator in the hope of resolving the conflict between our two families.”
Upon hearing this, Du Chao’s gaze turned colder as he stared straight at them.
“Resolve?
How?” Du Chao asked coldly.
With a sigh, Gu Qinglian said, “I understand…
this matter…
is indeed the Su Family’s fault.
Therefore…
young Su is willing to compensate.
Mr.
Du, as long as you na your price, young Su is ready to et it.
However much money he can get his hands on…
he’s willing to pay.”
Su Beicheng was truly going all out this ti; to protect Lin Shuang, he did not hesitate to offer a substantial compensation.
Yet upon hearing this, Du Chao stomped his foot fiercely!
“Crack!” The piece of bluestone flooring he stepped on directly caved in!
“My son is the upcoming Sect Leader of the Du Family, a man of noble standing!
How can a re sum of dirty money dismiss such an offense?!” Du Chao declared in cold anger.
Seeing this, Su Beicheng went deathly white with fear.
Gu Qinglian also wore an embarrassed expression.
“Mr.
Du…
I understand your son has been wronged, but…
young Su is willing to compensate…
Look…
If you could…
for my sake, perhaps you could forgive the Su Family just this once…
That Lin Shuang is also just a young man, he doesn’t understand…” Gu Qinglian pleaded with a complex tone.
But before he could finish his sentence, Du Chao interrupted him.
“How much is your face worth, Mr.
Gu Qinglian?” Du Chao’s voice was icy cold, “Su Beicheng, I’ve said it!
Either hand over Lin Shuang, and the technology of Heavenly dicine!
Or your Su Family will be annihilated!”
Even Gu Qinglian looked extrely troubled at these words.
Not a shred of face given!
There’s no room for negotiation at all!
“Well…
Mr.
Du…
how about this…
my Su Family is willing to pay 2 billion…
for the compensation of your son…
Do you think that would be acceptable?” Su Beicheng clenched his teeth and once again pleaded.
Two billion, that was already an astronomical figure.
However, Du Chao’s expression turned even colder as he suddenly stepped forward and rushed towards Su Beicheng.
“Slap…!” With a fierce slap, Su Beicheng was sent flying!
