My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 345
Chapter 345: The temple’s Lion-like mouth
The atmosphere between Li Tian and red Sparrow was a little strange, and they didn’t know what to say.
Li Tian didn’t feel anything about the previous incident because he was asleep. But this time? He was very clear-headed, and he still had a lot of F * cking feelings.
The Vermilion Bird remained silent because she knew that something beyond friendship had already happened between her and Li Tian.
What she was worried about was how to face this kind of relationship. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to face Li Tian, but he didn’t know how to face Lin Yi.
In the end, the two of them just kept walking and walking. Even when they were hungry or thirsty, neither of them said a word.
A day later, the two of them finally arrived at the place that Li Tian had arranged for them.
……
Jiangdu, Chen family.
Old master Chen Minmin’s expression was very ugly this time.
No one knew how much he had to pay to get the divine temple to help him deal with Lin Yi.
But what was the result? All he knew was that Lin Yi had jumped off the cliff, and he didn’t even know if she was Dead or Alive. Why would he want a dead Lin Yi?
He knew that there was a 99% chance that Lin Yi was dead, but he still couldn’t accept it. Without Lin Yi, how was he going to make Li Tian submit?
Looking at the man from the divine temple in front of him, Chen Minmin’s expression was not very good.
The people from the divine temple were here to take the last Commission from him.
Money? Chen Minmin would not care about money, and neither would the divine temple.
For the sake of Lin Yi, Chen Minmin had used up all his power to meet the divine temple’s requirements of three hundred-year-old ginseng and an eight-hundred-year-old Chinese knotweed.
On the surface, these things only cost tens of millions. It wasn’t a lot, but the difficult part was that these things couldn’t be found at all.
Wild 100-year-old ginseng had the effect of keeping one alive. They were all precious treasures of the big families. Currently, in the entire country of Hua Xia, there were no more than 50 of them. He was only able to get three of them because he had to take out one of his own reserves. Back then, he had given her two ginsengs, but now, she was asking for another one and a Chinese knotweed.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to give it to her, but that he was very dissatisfied with the result and was very unwilling to give it away.
Yes, he couldn’t afford to offend the divine temple. Even he himself had only met one of the higher-ups in the divine temple by chance. He didn’t have much say in this matter. The divine temple had definitely acted this time because of these things.
These martial arts sects had a huge demand for this level of medicinal herbs. A hundred-year-old ginseng was something that could only be found by luck.
However, if Chen Minmin knew that the divine temple had sent out more than a dozen golden scale guards for Lin Yi, who knew what he would think?
Both sides seemed to be playing mind games. It was obvious that the things that Chen Minmin had taken out were definitely not worth the divine temple dispatching so many people. The divine temple must have had other reasons for doing so.
In fact, the reason was very simple. The people from the divine temple had been severely injured when they tried to assassinate Li Tian. Naturally, they couldn’t take it lying down.
Chen Minmin happened to find them at this time. Since they could deal with Lin Yi and get some benefits from Chen Minmin, why not?
So what if they were discovered? They could totally put the blame on Chen Minmin. The divine temple was just an employer at best.
Besides, when had the divine temple ever been afraid? Even the moving Moon Palace and the divine temple would not fear anything.
Here!
Chen Minmin took out the last Commission and handed it to the man from the divine temple.
“Boss Chen, this amount doesn’t seem right, right?”
The man looked at the item in his hand and immediately said.
“Wrong? What’s wrong?”
Chen Minmin was a wily old fox in the business world. He had seen all kinds of tricks before. He immediately understood that the other party was going to increase the price.
This was even worse than increasing the price. This was extortion!
“That’s what we agreed on before, but boss Chen, you should know that because of this, the divine temple has lost a general. So, our leader means that you have to add a little bit no matter what.”
The divine temple’s losses were being forced on Chen Minmin’s head. Chen Minmin was furious when he heard this.
But against the divine temple, he really could not resist.
He was now somewhat regretful. He regretted provoking the Holy Cathedral.
“Okay, how much do you want to add?”
Chen Minmin gritted his teeth as he spoke.
“Not much, not much. Just double the original amount.”
“You … You … You’re going too far!”
Double? It was true that Chen Minmin had some reputation in Jiangdu, but who would be willing to sell him such a life-saving treasure?
Where would he find so many things?
“Boss Chen, be careful of what you say. This is something that both of us are willing to do. Besides, do you know who Lin Yi is? Do you know how much risk our Holy Cathedral has taken this time? It can be said that this price is already quite favorable. Boss Chen, it’s better if you don’t refuse.
A threat. This was a blatant threat.
What was Lin Yi’s status? Chen Minmin did not believe that the people from the divine temple had not investigated before they agreed. The divine temple was not a fool.
Now he’s using Lin Yi’s identity to make trouble? Wasn’t she just a merchant’s woman? What kind of background could he have?
Chen Minmin knew that the divine temple had suffered losses. They were desperate and wanted to recover the losses from him.
“Okay … Okay … Give me half a month.”
After Chen Minmin finished his sentence, he sat down on the chair. It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
He didn’t know how much he would have to pay to get so many things. Perhaps he would have to use some unconventional means if he had no choice.
He had already cleared his name for so many years. If it wasn’t for the sake of avenging his grandson, he definitely wouldn’t have touched these things. This was because he knew that the country was always looking for something to use against him.
Now, it had delivered itself to his door.
“Of course, no problem. I’ll be back in half a month.”
After the man finished speaking, he took the things in his hands and left.
Chen Minmin’s face was ashen. He knew that he had played himself this time.
It wasn’t a matter of experience or courage, it was just that the difference in strength was too big. If he had the power of the four families of Yan Jin, would he be afraid of the divine temple? The country would protect him.
However, just when he thought that the matter was over, he never expected that Li Tian had just received news from Qin Yu Han.
Li Tian’s expression turned sinister and terrifying. After hearing the news, he asked Qin Yu Yan three times,”are you kidding me?”
