Liu Yingda wiped his sweaty forehead again. 

Yan Su wasn’t wrong. His current wealth and comfort all came from the tigress. 

But he still felt unwilling. Why should he? 

The tigress was fierce and couldn’t give him a son. In his mind, he had done nothing wrong.

“I… I’ll see what I can do.” Liu Yingda conceded weakly.

“I’ll give you three days. I want a satisfactory answer by then.” Yan Su said, setting a firm deadline. 

Liu Yingda wanted to bargain for more time, but one look at Yan Su’s murderous eyes made him swallow his words. 

So he could only nod obediently, “I… I’ll find a way.”

With the matter settled, Yan Su’s stony expression eased slightly. He gave a small nod.

“In three days, I’ll bring the contract.”

Liu Yingda forced a smile uglier than a cry and nodded weakly. 

His heart ached, Southern Machine Tool had given him a hefty kickback, which he’d now have to return. 

It felt like someone was slicing the flesh from his heart with a knife, painful beyond words.

Yan Su pulled Gu Ye along and left. 

As they walked out, Yan Su patted the little boy’s head again, as kindly as if he were the friendly uncle next door. 

Then he casually called out the name of a place, a small county in a province.

At the mention, Liu Yingda’s face instantly changed.

Once they were out of the courtyard, Gu Ye asked curiously,

“What’s that name mean?” 

Liu Yingda’s reaction made it clear that he was very wary of that place.

“His mistress’s hometown.” Yan Su replied casually.

Gu Ye understood immediately and gave him a thumbs-up. 

That was a high-level move, cutting off the man’s escape route entirely. 

No wonder Liu Yingda was so wary.

“How do you know so much about other people’s private affairs?” Gu Ye grew even more curious.

He had clearly investigated both the legal wife and the mistress in detail, better than some special intelligence officers.

Yan Su chuckled, half-truth and half-lie,

“I’ve got the wealthy families in this whole area mapped out, like how many people are in the household, what they do for work, what time they leave in the morning and come back at night, I know it all.”

Gu Ye shook his head, “You’re not an immoral person. You would never be a thief.”

“How do you know I haven’t stolen anything?” Yan Su countered.

Gu Ye smiled confidently.

“Because your pride wouldn’t allow you to degrade yourself like that. Old Yan, you’re not that kind of person!”

Otherwise, Yan Su wouldn’t have fallen so low as to be a beggar.

Yan Su’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned his head away, looking a bit awkward. 

After a long moment, he gave a cold snort, “When a person is desperate, dignity is worth nothing!”

Gu Ye just smiled and didn’t argue. 

Dignity was invisible and intangible, but it was the backbone of a person’s life.

Sometimes, you could give it up for certain things. But sometimes, it was something you could never surrender, even if it meant death. Better to stand and live than to kneel and die.

“Old Yan, will Liu Yingda really buy my machines in three days?” Gu Ye asked, still unsure.

Honestly, he would be happy if he could sell even one, he didn’t need all ten.

“Mm. Just bring the contract in three days.” Yan Su said firmly. 

Seeing Gu Ye still doubtful, he added, “The owner of that auto parts factory is from Taiwan, but Liu Yingda’s brother-in-law holds some shares. So Liu Yingda can still make the decision.”

A thought struck Gu Ye.

“This Zhang Zhaodi’s father… is he Zhang Fanjin?” 

He vaguely remembered that the old man had a former subordinate, someone named Zhang Fanjin, who was very patriarchal. 

He had two daughters, one named Zhaodi and one named Pandi, and was really looking forward to the son he wanted.

*Zhaodi : Beckoning a younger brother.

*Pandi : Longing for a younger brother. 

Yan Su shook his head.

“Not sure, but Zhang Zhaodi’s family does have some influence.”

“Sounds about right.”

Gu Ye figured it was eight or nine chances out of ten that this was the Zhang family.
