59: Lan Zijun, you are not behaving well!

Now, all she could do was wait for Yuan's response.

Lan Zijun's gaze fell upon the table in front of her, where a wireless walkie-talkie headset lay.

Up until now, Lan Zijun still had no reliable way to proactively contact Yuan; the only way to speak with Yuan was through the headset before her.

This headset was the communication tool Yuan had an old man deliver to Lan Zijun the last time he sold information to her.

Liang Yuzhu had taken this headset for investigation, but the result was the failure to discover any valuable clues, so the headset had returned to Lan Zijun.

Today, Lan Zijun had a sudden inspiration and brought this headset with her, hoping to be able to communicate with Yuan at a critical moment.

Lan Zijun hoped that today's confrontation would merely be limited to the stage where both sides displayed their strength, and would not be misunderstood by the other party as some kind of hostility.

She hoped to establish a relatively more equal cooperative relationship with Yuan, rather than the current situation where she was unilaterally led by the nose by the other party.

At least she should have some room for choice, shouldn't she?

She believed that if the other party truly accepted her challenge, then the headset before her would definitely ring.

And she also believed that since the other party had offered a price of 40 million, for the sake of this 40 million, he would definitely contact her.

She guessed correctly; the headset suddenly crackled.

Lan Zijun's eyes suddenly brightened; this sound was static, and its appearance meant that a device on the same frequency was turning on nearby!

This meant that Yuan was indeed contacting her, just as she had expected!

The 'crackle' sounded again, and Lan Zijun, with bright eyes, directly picked up the headset and turned the volume to maximum.

"Yuan?" she tentatively spoke.

The static sounded again, Lan Zijun took a deep breath and calmly said, "Yuan, I have a challenge."

After a pause, she said indifferently, "Do you dare to come?"

The other party did not respond, and Lan Zijun's brows furrowed slightly; she couldn't help but glance at the headset in her hand.

This headset was not high-tech; it cost a little over a hundred yuan on shopping websites. Furthermore, it hadn't been modified or retuned; it used common frequencies.

Could this be a coincidence?

Was someone else nearby also using this type of headset, causing signal interference or channel crosstalk?

This was also possible, after all, Lan Zijun had specifically checked; although this type of headset was small, in relatively open areas, the communication distance could reach five kilometers. With tall buildings blocking the signal, there would be some attenuation, but a few hundred meters to a kilometer could basically be guaranteed.

She subconsciously glanced at Yang Qingmei beside her, who was now looking nervous, not even knowing what she was nervous about.

She hesitated and said, "President Lan, how about we go put up another..."

Before she could finish her sentence, with a 'hiss', a noisy static sound suddenly rang out.

The next second, a hoarse voice came from the headset: "Challenge?"

There was a hint of playfulness and a touch of nonchalance in this voice.

"Lan Zijun, you're not being obedient!"

The sound from the headset wasn't loud, but in the quiet lounge, it was like thunder, making Yang Qingmei's face turn pale.

As Lan Zijun's personal Secretary, Yang Qingmei knew deeply that the name of Lans Group was renowned, and Lan Zijun, the daughter of Lans Group, was an untouchable goddess in the eyes of countless people.

This was not only true in terms of her identity and family background, but also her personality; even Jiang Zhehao, the General Manager of Jishen Company and a partner, involuntarily became her subordinate in front of her.

There was no helping it; Lan Zijun was fine in private, just slightly cold in personality, not much different from ordinary young girls, sometimes even a little soft and cute.

But once she was at the company, dealing with business matters, her aura was so powerful she was practically a queen.

Who would have thought that someone would dare to speak to such a queen in such a frivolous, even inexplicably doting tone?

Moreover, the content of what was said was shocking.

Lan Zijun, not obedient?

Yang Qingmei had never thought in her life that these two words could be linked together.

She cautiously glanced at Lan Zijun, and to her surprise, Lan Zijun's expression remained calm.

"President Lan isn't angry because of this sentence?" she thought with some surprise.

In reality, Yang Qingmei didn't understand; Lan Zijun had no mind to care about such things at this moment.

Or rather, in her heart, Yuan was qualified to speak to her from a position of superiority.

After all, being able to obtain so much secret information indicated that Yuan likely represented a huge hidden force.

Such a hidden force was extremely wary, even of the daughter of Lans Group, or the soon-to-be newly appointed head of Lans Group.

Or rather, somewhat fearful!

Even when she heard Yuan's frivolous tone, her first reaction internally wasn't feeling insulted, but a hint of relief!

She didn't care about the content of what was said; what she truly cared about was the other party's playful and even frivolous tone. This indicated that the other party had indeed understood Lan Zijun's meaning; he hadn't misunderstood Lan Zijun's intentions, but intended to play this game with Lan Zijun.

Lan Zijun pressed the talk button.

"The money is already prepared. According to our previous agreement, 40 million, not a cent less."

After a pause, she continued, "I'll wait for you to come and get it!"

"Are you talking about the money you put in your office?" The other party's tone was still frivolous, revealing a hint of nonchalance.

Lan Zijun was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted.

The other party was Yuan; Yuan could find the video that Qian Boda had hidden in his phone and deleted, and could also uncover the fact that Qian Boda had colluded with her exclusive doctor, Fang Fei. Knowing that she had put the money in the office didn't seem to be that difficult.

After all, moving four such large boxes into the company, no matter how secretly it was done, couldn't escape the notice of someone with intent.

"Yes!" Lan Zijun admitted directly.

"I must remind you, I have deployed professional security company personnel to guard it, and I have also arranged some small setups."

She continued, "To be honest, from my perspective, this is an impossible challenge. Therefore, you can choose to accept, or you can choose not to accept!"

"If you choose not to accept, I will still pay these 40 million, and I will deliver it to your designated location in a way you can accept, according to your requirements!"

"However, since I provided extra service, from the perspective of transaction fairness, I seem to also be qualified to make a small request..."

"Wait..." Her words were cut off directly by the other party before she could finish, and even the tone in which she was interrupted was so casual, Lan Zijun could even hear a hint of laziness in it.

"If you're talking about the money in the office, then you don't need to provide any extra service."

"Why?"

Facing Lan Zijun's puzzled inquiry, the lazy voice continued, "Because I've already taken that money."
