Chapter 1160: Wang Zhanhang Can’t Stay Calm

“What do you want to do now?”

Looking at Wang Zhanhang in front of him, Chen Dongqiu felt a bit uneasy.

Because he had just been beaten by Wang Zhanhang this morning, tortured to the point of wishing for death.

“What do I want? I want to see how much you’re worth in Xu Shaochen’s eyes.”

Wang Zhanhang said this with a sullen face, then used Chen Dongqiu’s phone to make a video call to Xu Shaochen.

Moments later, Xu Shaochen’s face appeared on the screen.

“What’s wrong? Can’t sit still already?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Wang Zhanhang with an amused expression, clearly understanding why he was contacted.

With such a big commotion outside, Wang Zhanhang couldn’t possibly be unaware.

“Xu, make your people stop right now, or I guarantee the young master’s life won’t be spared.”

Wang Zhanhang said through gritted teeth, feeling annoyed by this shift from active to passive.

Because at this moment, the situation was no longer under his control.

“Fine, then go ahead and kill Chen Dongqiu. Anyway, you’ll all accompany him in the end.”

Xu Shaochen said casually, not taking Wang Zhanhang’s threat seriously.

Threatening him was wishful thinking.

“Xu Shaochen, I’m not joking with you!”

Wang Zhanhang shouted angrily, then turned around and grabbed Chen Dongqiu’s neck, tightening his grip.

Chen Dongqiu felt it difficult to breathe, his face becoming pale, and his heart slowly rising to his throat.

“I’m not joking either. If you have the guts, just try.”

Xu Shaochen said expressionlessly, not sparing Chen Dongqiu a glance because he couldn’t look.

Showing concern for Chen Dongqiu’s safety would make Wang Zhanhang know his trick was working.

Wang Zhanhang’s emotions became more agitated: “Are you forcing me?”

“Listen.” Xu Shaochen said calmly.

Wang Zhanhang was taken aback, not understanding what Xu Shaochen meant by that.

“Boom——”

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Wang Zhanhang only felt a tremor in the stone chamber.

At this time, he instantly understood what Xu Shaochen wanted him to hear.

“Are you scared?”

Xu Shaochen asked.

Wang Zhanhang swallowed hard, his eyes bloodshot: “Xu Shaochen, if you leave me no way out, I’ll destroy everything in the laboratory so you get nothing!”

“Suit yourself. After all, I don’t even know what’s being researched in the lab, just curious. You destroy your results, I won’t feel sorry.”

Xu Shaochen shrugged indifferently, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Of course, he wasn’t as indifferent as he appeared.

If he truly didn’t care, he wouldn’t have caused such a commotion.

But the more he cared, the less he could show it.

Otherwise, it would become Wang Zhanhang’s leverage.

Seeing Xu Shaochen’s indifferent look, Wang Zhanhang felt powerless, both angry and helpless.

“Xu Shaochen, are you forcing me to fight to the death? You think I have no men or guns?”

Wang Zhanhang almost bit through his teeth, feeling as angry as he was arrogant last night during the video with Xu Shaochen.

“Like I said, you can choose to bring your men to fight me, while I choose to report that armed terrorists are hiding in the mountains.”

Xu Shaochen said nonchalantly, the smile on his face harmless yet making Wang Zhanhang want to vomit blood.

“Xu, what do you want!”

When Wang Zhanhang asked this, it proved he had nowhere left to go.

Xu Shaochen’s face turned serious: “Bring your men, lay down your weapons, and surrender…”

“Dream on! You think I’m that stupid? Laying down weapons makes us lambs to the slaughter!”

Before Xu Shaochen could finish, Wang Zhanhang interrupted angrily.

Having weapons and men was his only leverage to negotiate with Xu Shaochen.

Without them, Xu Shaochen might have hung up the call long ago.

He still held this basic understanding.

“Fine, if you’re not satisfied with my idea, then how about you propose a solution?”

Xu Shaochen suggested.

“Have your people withdraw completely, leaving us room to escape…”

This time, before Wang Zhanhang could finish, Xu Shaochen cut in: “You’re not stupid, you think I’m stupid? My people withdraw so you can escape with the lab’s research, right?”

Wang Zhanhang didn’t accept his terms.

He didn’t accept Wang Zhanhang’s terms.

For a moment, the situation seemed deadlocked.

After a while, Xu Shaochen took a deep breath: “How about this, let’s compromise. I just want Chen Dongqiu and the lab’s research.”

“I’ll send someone to watch. As long as you don’t take anything, I guarantee safe passage. How about it?”

Wang Zhanhang sneered: “If I hand over people and things, what if you break your word and have your people ambush us?”

“Are you an idiot?” Xu Shaochen looked at him as if watching a fool: “If I let people ambush you, wouldn’t you fight back? This is Dragon Country, not abroad. Even I don’t want a large-scale gunfight here. You think I’m a god.”

Wang Zhanhang was taken aback, having stayed overseas for long, his thoughts influenced by external factors, he hadn’t considered this.

“What if you call the police?” Wang Zhanhang recalled Xu Shaochen’s previous threat to report them as terrorists.

Xu Shaochen confirmed this guy was truly foolish, and a pure one at that.

“The lab’s research can’t see the light. If I wanted to keep it, I wouldn’t call the police. Got it? Idiot!”

Though Xu Shaochen didn’t plan to spare Wang Zhanhang, he also didn’t intend to act here.

For the reasons he said, of course.

Wang Zhanhang’s face was indecipherable.

“If you don’t have a better way, make a quick decision. I don’t have time to waste.” Xu Shaochen urged.

“Fine.” Wang Zhanhang gritted his teeth, making up his mind: “Just like you said, send someone now. I’ll have people waiting on the periphery.”

Xu Shaochen hung up and told Long Yi: “Take a few people to the mountains. Find a chance to plant this on them.”

Xu Shaochen opened his hand, revealing several small trackers, which he had prepared beforehand.

Initially meant for his own people, to prevent getting lost in the vast forest, he had prepared the trackers.

But now, they wouldn’t be used on his people but on Wang Zhanhang, proving quite effective.

“Yes, Boss.”

Long Yi took the trackers, leading seven bodyguards on the mountain path.
